TIiURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1949 I THE MICHIGAN DAILY. PAGE TIMES Wolverines To Have 'New Look 'in NU Battle Gopher's Tonnemaker Voted Lineman of Week White Uniforms Replace Traditional Maize, Blue WILL HISTORY REPEAT? 'M' Wary of Wildcats After Army Loss Michigan students fortunate enough to be included in North- western's Dyche Stadium sellout Saturday or those perched close to Quad and Fraternity television sets will see their Wolverines take the field in white uniforms for the first time in the Maize and Blue's 60-year grid history, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan revealed at yesterday's practice session. The switch is due to a new Western Conference ruling which requires the visiting club to wear a "sharply contrasting" jersey color. Since the Wildcats' hue is purple, Michigan's traditional blue will be by-passed this time. * * * SATURDAY'S color switch will also mark the first game appear- ance of a Wolverine squad in any- thing but blue since the 1920's. In those years, the club wore yel- low when the occasion warranted. In other seasons the opposing club broke out their whites to battle Michigan, but from now on it will be different. Ironical- ly, it was a white-jerseyed Army eleven that snapped the Michi- gan winning streak last week. Halfback Leo Koceski and cen- ter Bob Erben, both slightly in- jured in Saturday's battle, saw scrimmage work in yesterday's sun-bathed practice, while ace tailback Chuck Ortmann and end Irv Wisniewski were dressed but did not take part in heavy scrim- mage work. The Michigan Board of strategy put their defensive charges through the paces against the purple's T-formation plays. Spe- cial emphasis was placed on aerial protection, readying the club for the airways thrusts of Wildcat signal-callers Don Burson and Dick "Posey" Flowers. End Ossie Clark was a standout in the line work. NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Detroit 2, Boston 1. By JOHN BARBOUR The beautiful truth is that Northwestern hasn't beaten Mich- igan since 1937, when the Wildcats took us into camp on the short end of a 7-0 score. The awful truth is that since that time they have tied us twice. No one who was here can forget the three games in 1946 that be- gan with Army. * * * AFTER MICHIGAN had put up the gamest fight against Army in two years, they faced a strong battling Northwestern team, and by the grace of Jim Brieske's foot came out with a 14-14 tie. But as a result it was a tired Michigan ball club that faced Illinois the next week,tand fumbled their way into a 13-9 defeat. The overall total of all games won and lost since Michigan be- gan playing Northwestern in 1892, gives the Wolverines the edge 15 to six. But the two tied games since 1937 were the only ones that the two schools failed to decide. The series got off to a bad start in 1892 when the Wildcats, play- ing in the 12 game Wolverine schedule got off with a 10-8 win. They played in notable company that year, when teams like Cornell, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Purl due were gathered on the Maize and Blue schedule for the first or second time. * * * THAT YEAR must have condi- tioned the Wolverines because they came back to skin the Wild- cats, 72-6, in 1893. That was the highest score that the Wolverines ever rolled up over the 'Cats. But Michigan wasn't the only team in the con- ference to boast a victory edge on the Purple. In fact the only teams that haven't topped the Evanston squads have been Pur- due and Indiana. Northwestern has topped the Conference three times, in '30, '31, and '36, and has finished second in five seasons. They set up house- keeping in the cellar for nine cold winters.

STUDENTS: Watch our window for the Michigan band and football in review. The Daseola Barbers Liberty off State G - MINNEAPOLIS-(/P)-A pleas- ant young fellow whose keen foot- ball sense puts him in the oppos- ing team's backfield quite a bit has been chosen as Lineman of the Week. Named in the Associated Press' third poll of the season was Cal- tyon Tonnemaker, Minnesota's burly center. Chief reason for his selection was his play in the Northwestern game last Saturday, won by Minnesota, 21-7. "It was Tonnemaker who wrecked us in that first half," said Don Heap, assistant Northwestern coach. The Gophers led, 14-0, at halftime. Heap wasn't exaggerating. In his line-backing position on de- fense, "Tonny" smelled out virtu- ally every play Northwestern tried and made more than his share of tackles. A lot of times his ability to di- agnose plays put him on the ground in the middle of the Wild- cat backfield, the ball carrier clutched in his arms. By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO-Brushing the splin- tered goal-posts off sagging shoulders, the football swami guesses again: NOTRE DAME 21, TULANE 13 -The Irish know they must win this one for a shot at the national crown. It will be a rousing scrap between revenge-seeking Tulane and a Notre Dame club for whom the honeymoon (Indiana, Wash- The Famous 11 ington and Purdue) is over. But even inspired to avenge a 59-6 plastering by the Irish in 1947, the Green Wave will find Notre Dame's Sunday punch tough to handle. MICHIGAN 19, NORTH- WESTERN 7-The Wolverines have been tumbled by Army, but they'll be making their Big Ten debut against Northwestern Saturday and it will be tough on the Wildcats. Northwestern still is trying to find itself after successive losses to Pittsburgh and Minnesota. MINNESOTA 14, OHIO STATE 7-Minnesota's line is the best in the midwest, if not the country. The Gophers have Billy Bye and Dick Gregory to match the fleet Buckeye backs. Ohio's chances, with fullback Vic Janowicz out because of injury, may rest on passing over the Gopher behe- moths. WISCONSIN 14, NAVY 13-It should be an eye-lash finish be- tween two fast-coming elevens. The Badgers gave California a sizzling debate before bowing, 35- 20, last Saturday. The Middies have surged since bowing to Southern California, 42-20, with wins over Princeton (28-7) and Duke (28-14). Mann Leads Pass Catchers DETROIT-A)-End Bob Mann of the Detroit Lions stood out today as the best pass catcher in the early stages of the National Football League campaign. Figures released by the NFL offices in Philadelphia showed the former University of Mich- igan star has caught 16 passes for 176 yards. Bud Shipley of the New York Bulldogs is sec- ond with 14 completions and a 162 yard total. Frank Enke of the Lions rates as the No. 4 passer of the league as he has tossed 32 completions in 75 tries for 372 yards. Clyde Le- force of Detroit is no. 7 with 14 completions on 20 tries for 140 yards. J4 (t 11 II Authentic College Styles S :f' -9 '::.'
