Michigan, State Seeks To Spoil, WolverineOpener By BILL CONNOLLY Daily Sports Editor It was October 2nd, 1937 that Michigan State last beat a Wol- verine football team. When the invading Spartans take the field today for a 2 p.m. kickoff that opens Michigan's 71st football season, they'll be trying desperately to climax a two year surge in which they have penetrated deep into the Wolverines margin of victory. IN REGISTERING the ten straight triumphs that have followed their loss in '37, men in Maize and Blue uniforms have carried and kicked the ball for 270 points, while holding their scrappy opponents, to 51. The Spartans, however, have been making a strong bid for plush national ranking, and in so doing have come to within a shadow of beating the Wolverines in their last two meetings. They battled to a 13-7 loss during the 1948 opener in East Lansing and came even closer last fall when they returned from Ann Arbor dragging the short end of a 7-3 score behind them. Since the series' inception, in 1898, Michigan has won 33, lost six and tied three and in doing so have prevented MSC from scoring more than twice in any of the 42 contests. Today, the Spartans have the advantage of a major game under their belts, having defeated Oregon State, 38-13 last Saturday in a highly impressive showing of offensive might. M C Clash Today w * " * * CHARLES ORTMANN (above) Michigan Tailback Captain Al Wahl may work on both offense and defense. The re- mainder of the offensive line is made up of John Padj-en at center, Al Jackson and Tom Kelsey filling in the guard slots with John Hess seeing service as the other tackle. DEFENSIVELY, OOSTERBAAN will be counting heavily on Tony Momsen, veteran center and rugged sophomore Roger Zatkoff as linebackers. In front of them will be, at least in the early stages of the game, Allis and Clark at the ends, Wahl and Tom Johnson at tackle, 238-pound Dick McWilliams and possibly Jack Powers, the first line guards. Oosterbaan's biggest problem is his defending backfield. He may be required to use Ortmann as safety with Dufek and Koceski playing ithe halfback positions in the Michigan 6-2-2-1 defense. Replacing Ortmann in the safety slot will be sophomore end Lowell Perry, 178-pounder from Ypsilanti. Used as a running quarter- back in high school, Perry moves with speedy shiftiness and is ef- fective as a tackler as well as a ball-handler. Among the other sophomores, Frank. Howell, the five-foot, eight- inch speedster from Muskegon Heights is likely to see action behind Koceski both offensively and defensively. Bill Billings, 200 pound former fullback who now works in the signal-calling slot will back up Putich in that- department and Ortmann as a punter, * * * * OFFENSIVELY, Michigan State will be able to put Michigan's questionable defensive unit to test. Sonny Grandelius, 195-pound left half, the big gun in State's running attack is teamed with sophomore Vince Pisano to provide an effective one-two punch to the shifty double wing and winged- T offensive systems employed by the Spartans. Fullback LeRoy Crane, the team's captain, saw limited service due to an early injury last season, but averaged 6.2 yards on 68 carries during his sophomore year.

Michigan Coach Bennie Oosterbaan is a cinch to start his veteran trio of tailback Chuck Ortmann, wingback Leo Koceski and fullback Don Dufek, under the direction of Bill Putich, letter- man quarterback who saw limited service last season.
