THI T.AY NOVEMBER 24. 1949 THE MIHIG AN DAILY PAGE SEVEN u -a . - TURKEY DAY TUSSLES: Penn, Cornell Clash in Ivy League Tilt, Longhorns Meet Texas Aggies Today NEW YORK-()-A number of traditional Thanksgiving Day bat- tles usher in the week's college football schedule today, and then on Saturday the final full salvo of the '49 season will echo across the nation's playing fields. Headlining as usual the closing Saturday of the fall madness will be the service clash at Philadel- phia between Army's unbeaten forces and a Navy team which has come strongly at the fag end of the race, which is where it counts. Some 102,000 will witness the col- orful spectacle. * * * MAGNETIC Notre Dame,, gen- erally regarded as the greatest touchdown machine in the coun- try, plays Southern California on Saturday at South Bend. The Irish, stretching their schedule, will get in a final lick at Southern Methodist a week later before putting away their gear. Penn and Cornell meet at Philadelphia in the most import- ant of the Thanksgiving fixtures. The Quakers, undefeated within the Ivy League, can win the title either with a victory or a tie, but Cornell's slick offense has captured much support and the result is regarded as a toss- up. Texas engages the Texas Aggies at College Station in another Tur- key Day rivalry which used to be the biggest thing in the Southwest. But this time they will knock each other around strictly for their own pleasure while .the fans im- patiently await Saturday's colli- sion at Houston between Rice and I Baylor for the Southwest Confer-1 ence crown and an automatic ap-I pearance in the Cotton Bowl. * * * AS BOTH the Big Nine and' Pacific Coast Conferences wound up their schedules last week, most of Saturday's other offerings of' any importance concern Southern teams. Oklahoma, the nation's No. 3 outfit behind Notre Dame and California, is not expected to find the Oklahoma Aggies very tough to take at Norman. An explosion which should shake houses for miles around will take place at New Orleans. Tulane, having recovered gamely from its mid-season mauling at South Bend, smashes into a powerful Louisiana State team, with a rich Sugar Bowl bid prob- ably at stake. Louisiana State, though an in- and-outer, still is the only club to have beaten Rice, and nothing would please the boys from Baton Rouge more than to hang one on Tulane. This one might just pos- sibly get rough toward the end. * * * THE TARHEELS of North Caro- lina, with Charlie Justice again on the rampage, are favored to close with a victorious rush against Virginia at Chapel Hill and pos- sibly salvage a Sugar Bowl invi- tation from a somewhat unhappy season. Doak Walker and his Southern Methodists, humbled by Baylor in a free-scoring game last week, prepare for Notre Dame as best they can by playing Texas Chris- tian at Fort Worth. * ** OTHER TOP games on the schedule: Today: Kansas State at Missouri, Col- gate at Brown, Duquesne at Chat- tanooga, College of Pacific at Cali- fornia Poly, Detroit at Wichita, Miami (0) at Cincinnati, Utah State at Utah, Virginia Military at Virginia Poly.

Bowl Gamne Invitation Goes To Hillsdaie HILLSDALE-(P) -Coach Jack Petoskey of Hillsdale College's un- beaten, untied football team an- nounced yesterday that his eleven had accepted an invitation to play Evansville College in the second annual Refrigerator Bowl game at Evansville, Ind., Dec. 3. Hillsdale won nine games dur- ing the regular season and boasts halfback Bill Young, whose 131 points currently ranks him as the highest scorer among the nation's collegiate football play- ers. Petoskey said Evansville played in the inaugural Refrigerator Bow game last year. He added that i had a record of six wins, a tie and two losses in regular season play this year. Jackson Only Regular Guard Returning to 1950 'M' Eleven - n- By JOHN BARBOUR Last year, Coach Bennie Poster- baan lost three top-flight guards through graduation; this year, he loses two more, Don McClelland and Lloyd Heneveld. But he won't be without any tal- ent for the nucleus at the guard position of next year's team. Re- turning to the wars will be a tough, 180-pound junior, Allen Jackson. * *.* THROUGHOUT the season just past, Jackson has been performincr in excellent fashion. In 1948 Jackson appeared in five of the seven games picking up varsity experience against Purdue, Northwestern, Navy, Indiana, and Ohio State. He was channeled into the guard position, although he never played there before. He usually plays de- fense. but when Lloyd Heneveld was hurt in the Illinois game, Al camne out to play more than half the game in top offensive as well as defensive form. AL BEGAN his football history at Redford High in Detroit where he played end, tackle, and fullback depending on the coach's decision. He also went out for track special- izing in the pole vault, but when he tried out at Michigan he found he was too big. Nevertheless he tied the De- troit All-City record (since brok- en) at 11' 9". Out for Freshman football in the - fall of '47, Jackson was a member of a selected squad that ran off plays against the varsity because of the weak JV team that year. WHEN HE returned to school the line was filled with such not- ables as Dom Tomasi, Quent Sick- les, Stu Wilkins, Bill Pritula and Dan Dworsky, not to mention an all-star aggregation of ends. Football is only one of the talents of the versatile Mr. Jack- son. He played Tom in the Stu- dent Players' production, "The Time of Your Life," and the mother-in-law in the Union Light Opera last year. He also does cartoons now and then for The Michigan Daily and Gar- "aoyle. On the field Al claims the two men he has learned most from are Dom Tomasi and Al Wistert. "Their general demeanor and phy- sical skill are extremely inspira- tional." .
