JF THERE ARE any lessons the Wolverines can learn from this past
season of football certainly one of the foremost is to build a fire
under the offense, to mix up the solid, consistent Michigan brand of
football with a little razzle-dazzle and take a few chances once in a
while.
Too many times this year The Maize and Blue played the percen-
tages, too many times they sat back and waited for the breaks rather
than taking a chance to try to make a break for themselves.
For the first half, or maybe even three-quarters of the game
it's all right to play it safe, but when the last canto rolls around
and the score is close or Michigan is behind, it's no time to sit
around and wait for something to happen.
Take the Ohio State game, for instance. It's still fairly fresh in
mind, in fact it's going to be hard to forget.
Early in the fourth quarter Michigan had the ball on its onwn 27,
third down and one yard to go for a first down. The score was still 7-0
in Michigan's favor, but it wasn't enough to win, as the final score in-
dicates.
* * * *
QUARTERBACK GHINDIA elected to pass, figuring that the Ohio
State line would be tightened up for a line buck and if the pass clicked
it might go all the way for a TD. It didn't work, and the Wolverines
punted on the next play, going back to the stodgy version of football-
waiting for a break.
The third down play was a gamble, maybe not the right thing
to do in that situation, but if you're willing to gamble once, why
not do it twice? Why put half your chips on the table, play the
whole roll.
A line buck on fotirth down would not have been orthodox, but it
would have meant continued possession of the ball. Don Dufek was in
the game at the time and throughout the year had established him-
self as a man who excelled in the art of picking up a yard or two on
every play. It would seem fairly safe to call on him to pick up the
yardage on the last down in a series, just as much as the third.
The punt put the Buckeyes back into their own territory, sure, but
the Woverines no longer had the ball and without it you can't make
touchdowns.
NOTRE DAME has placed its 1949 team among the ranks of the
greatest of all time, and one of the reasons is because the Irish
gamble, and more often than not it pays off.
Time and again Notre' Dame's sensational quarterback Bob
Williams has taken a chance and it has meant continued posses-
sion of the ball.
The most striking example of this pay-off brand of ball took place
when the Irish met North Carolina last week. The Tarheels were in the
lead by six points and the Irish had the ball on the fourth down deep
in their own territory.
WILLIAMS WALKED back to the huddle and said, "Boys, it's fourth
down and we should punt, but we're going to try a pass. Larry, if you
don't catch this one, I'm not even going to stop running, I'm gonna
keep on going right out the nearest exist." He was aware of the chance
he was taking, but he gave it a try. The pass was completed for a 17-
yard gain and Notre Dame maintained possession of the ball.
Perhaps what Michigan lacks is a consistent offense. Certain-
ly any quarterback is going to be afraid to gamble if he is not con-
fident about his team's performance. Offensively Michigan placed
firth in Conference ratings, and it would seem safe to say that any
improvement in that department would have meant sole possession
of first place, since two points are all that kept the Wolverines
from taking their third straight.
But regardless of this fact, there were times when Michigan
could have gambled, when they could have kept possession of the ball
with the exercise of a little ingenuity, but fell back on. the time-tested
practice of punting and hoping for a break.
Michigan doesn't have to play that way. With the No. 1 defense
in the league a few gambles which back-fire would be worth the divi-
dends the one that did work pays off. It's time for some modern foot-
ball and less of the "punt and pray" variety.
Weather May
Dampen Irish
AttackToday
ed SOUTH BEND - (') - Snow
forced Notre Dame's gridders in-
side for most drills this week, and
the usual razor sharpness honed
into the team by taskmaster Frank
Leahy prior to a big game may be
missing when the unbeaten Irish
tangle with Southern California
this afternoon.
Seemingly invincible, the migh-
ty Irish will strive for their ninth
successive win of the season and
their 37th gam, without defeat
against a bitter and old rival.
IT WILL BE the 21st meeting
between Notre Dame and Southern
California and a capacity throng
of 57,000 fans is expected despite
a heavy, wet, snowfall during the
week and the threat of more.
The gridiron has been covered
with canvas but slippery footing
is expected which might lead to
an upset. The practice field has
been bulldozed of snow, but a
new storm the day before yes-
terday drove the Irish into the
fieldhouse to complete prepara-
tions against a team which last
season came closer to defeating
them than any since Leahy's
gang began piling up its record
with a 26-6 win over Illinois in
the 1946 opener.
At Los Angeles a year ago, the
Trojans led 14-7 with 2%ri minutes
to play only to have Notre Dame's
spot player, speedy Bill Gay, run
back a kick 86 yards to set up a
final 14-14 tie.
THAT DEADLOCK, plus the
scoreless battle in 1946 with Army,
are the closest shaves Notre Dame
has had in sweeping through 36
games without defeat. In the
march they have averaged five
touchdowns per game and held
opponents to an average of one.
Despite a poor practice week,
the incentive and spirit to win-
which are so typical of Irish
teams-were pumped into the
squad at a huge Friday night
rally. Honored guests were the
four horsemen and teammates
of the late Knute Rockne's great
unbeaten 1924 outfit.
Members of that famed team
are enjoying their 24th reunion
celebration, climaxed by watching

By MARV EPSTEINt
Working out daily in anticipa-
tion of their opening contest at the
University of Chicago on January I
14, the Michigan gymnastics team
and Coach Newt Loken are prepar-
ing for a season which they hope
will bring to the Wolverines their
first individual and team champi-
onships in the history of the West-
ern Conference.
This would be the first time
since 1926 when the Conference
started keeping official records
that the Wolverines have snagged
the individual and team crowns.
HERETOFORE, team champi-
onships were pretty well monopol-
ized by Minnesota, Illinois andt
Chicago when that school was still'
a member of the Big Ten.
Chicago walked off with eight
team awards from 1926 through
1934. Illinois and Minnesota
each were resp~onsible for five,
the Illini getting theirs from
1929 through 1942 while the
Gophers were at their heyday in
the period between 1936 and this
year, when they took Conference
honors at the meet held here in
Ann Arbor.
Iowa took the title in 1937.
LOKEN IS bent on bringing the
individual crown to Michigan just
as he brought them to Minnesota
himself in 1941 and 1942, as a
member of the Gopher gymnastics
team. Minnesota has taken the in-
dividual title for the last five times
in succession.
Loken won with 182 and 229.9
points in his two years as Con-
ference champ. Jim Peterson
took the 1948 and 1949 laurels
with 1475 and 1053 points.
In either Pete Barthell, the only
double winner in the Big Nine
meet last year, and Ed Buchanan,
the country's best trampoliner,
Loken has two men who could turn
the trick for the Wolverines this
season.
LOKEN HAS a host of other
men out for the team, many of
whom show the kind of potential
which could well bring home the
bacon for the Wolverines.
