.t THURSDAY, NOVEMBER'16, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE 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, DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Publication in The Daily Official Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University, Notices for the Bulletin should be sent in typewritten form to the Office. of the Assistant to the President, Room 2552 Administration Building, by 3:00 p.m. on the day preceding pup~- lication (11:00 a.m. Saturdays).

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.

By CY CARLTONj 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.
