SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1940 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Army -Navy Tilt Heads List of Grid Classics Today 4 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 the encounter with U.S.C.

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.
