FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Koceski in Battle for Halfback Position
Bradford Tabbed Back of eek
4'
By TED PAPES
Leo Koceski is ready and waiting
to take up the challenge offered
him by Michigan's new backfield
discovery, Wes Bradford, named
yesterday by the United Press as
Back of the Week.
For the first time in three, years
he finds himself engaged in a bat-
tle for a first string offensive as-
signment.
* * *
BACK IN 1948 Koceski opened
the season in the shadow of Walter
Teninga's magic football reputa-
tion, but he quickly took over the
starting wingback position with his
dazzling style.
From the opening game of
that campaign until this year's'
Army contest he maintained a
monopoly in that spot except for
an interval last season when he
was out with rib fractures. He
yielded finally to the knee in-
jury which eventually gave
Bradford his big opportunity.
Ten years ago; Leo, a Pennsyl-
vania sixth grader, decided he
would come to Michigan.
* * *
SUBSEQUENTLY he turned
down lucrative offers from some
26 colleges which were anxious to
claim the services of this high
school gridiron prodigy who couldk
play halfback out of the 'T' for-
mation, the single or the double
wing.
To make good his sixth grade
threat he had to balk his mo-
ther's wishes. She wanted her
son, dubbed the "Canonsburg
Cannonball," to ' enter West
Point.
One of his best offers was from
Wes Fesler, then the coach at
Pittsburgh. Before Leo graduated,
Fesler was hired by Ohio State,

THE KNEE INJURY which de-
railed Leo in the Army game was
a recurrence of the one which cut
him down on the third play of
last year's climatic Ohio State
clash.
He came on to score the touch-
down which eventually netted a
7-7 tie and a share in the Big
Ten Championship. '
And so he anxiously looks for-
ward to the Northwestern encoun-
ter this Saturday and the Buckeye
game a week later, hoping that
his knee will not handicap him in
his quest to regain the top rung
among Michigan right halfbacks.
Oosterbaan must be quite happy
that the wingback shortage is ap-
parently over and that competi-
tion has once again taken com-
mand.

A young man named Wes Brad-
ford -who only a month ago was
only a small cog in the Wolverine
football wheel now rates as back
of the week, according to the Uni-
ted Press.
Bradford's success, gratifying as
it is to Bennie Oosterbaan and
company creates many problems,
as the Wolverine right halfback
slot which up to two weeks ago
presented a famine is now a horn
of plenty.
* -* *
BEFORE THE Illinois game,
Oosterbaan had only Bradford as
the one,able bodied performer for
Faculty members and teach-
ing fellows who wish to enter a'
singles or doubles handball
tournament should register at
the office of the I-M Building.
-Wilbur Braithwaite,
that position. He now has three
ready to fill that slot with the re-
turn of Leo Koceski and Don Old-
ham to full time duty.
This creates the problem of
what to do with Bradford. The
sophomore from Troy, Ohio, can
obviously not be sent back to
the fourth string halfback spot
as he is now the leading running
back in the Wolverine running
menagerie, with 'an average of
6.2 yards per carry. Koceski is
second with 4.18 yards per try.
Don Dufek, workhorse of the
squad, leads in total yardage, his
bull-like spins having netted 470
yards.
* * *
IN TRYING TO solve the prob-
lem of what to do with Bradford,
Michigan coaches sent various
backfield patterns through signal
drills, with Bradford and Koceski
at wingback. Koceski still favors
his injury, however, and probably
won't start against the Wildcats.
Don Peterson, who performed
At right half for part of the
Illinois game until injured, was
back in his old spot at tailback
behind Chuck Ortmann.
Others who saw much action in
the scrimmage were Ted Toper
and Pete Palmer who worked with
almost .all backfield units, al-
though Bill Putich worked most-
ly with the first string unit.
* * * *
WITH BRADFORD AS the
sparkplug, Michigan's offense is
now beginning to assume propor-
tions to which Wolverine support-
ers have become accustomed.
Chuck Ortmann, now back at
full strength, is far more effec-
tive with proper backfield sup-
port to loosen up the defense
thus making it harder to deal
with both Ortmann's passing
and his now improved running.
NORTHWESTERN brings a po-
tent offense into Ann Arbor, head-
ed by the passing combination of
Dick Flowers to Don Stonesifer.
Flowers is on his way to breaking
several conference passing marks
and Stonesifer has already broken
the Conference record for pass
completions in a game.
These two pose a decided threat
to Michigan and combined with
the Maize and Blue's revitalized
attack should give fans one of the
most exciting games of the year
in Ann Arbor.
