Both on the offense and defense the Wolverines failed to give the performance of which they are capable. First game jitters, lack of experience and failure to adjust to the strange floor were painfully evident in the battle with the Chippewas. e' * * * MICHIGAN found itself outshot from the floor and foul line and deprived of its share of rebounds. The Wolverines cashed in on only 11 of 19 free throws as opposed to 24 of 32 for the Chips, and as a result yesterday's practice session at Yost Field House included an extensive charity toss drill. Adding to Coach Ernie McCoy's woes was yesterday's report that Dave Nash, a top sophomore forward from East Grand Rapids, had enlisted in the navy. The six-foot four inch forward had figured prominently in McCoy's rebuilding program and saw action against Central Michigan. Ten new men took part in the season's opener and most per- formed creditably considering the situation. Lanky Milt Mead, a sopho- more forward, showed signs of good things to come by scoring 16 points on six fielders and four free throws. "Twenty-one more games and no place to go but up," about sums up the Wolverine hardwood picture. . -s ~~* MSC, Montreal Contests Rams Take Lead in NFL To Test 1M' Supremacy With 42-17 Win over Bears ns te j , UIIU a1* Tt.

Wolverine followers should find an answer this week in tomorrow's opener at Michigan State and Fri- day and Saturday clashes hereq with Montreal. COACH VIC HEYLIGER isn't the type to go out on a limb with preseason predictions. He restricts his comments mainly to the cali- ber of the opposition ("it will be tough this year") and says simp- ly, "We're rebuilding," in reference to Wolverine potential.

(Michi- The Los Angeles Rams fought their way into first place in the National Conference of the Na- tional Football League Sunday when they crushed the Chicago Bears, 42-17, while their West Coast rival, the San Francisco 49ers, was busy handing the De- troit Lions a 20-10 setback. In other games Cleveland crush- ed the Chicago Cardinals( 49-28; the New York Giants blanked Pittsburgh, 14-0; Philadelphia whipped Washington, 35-21; and the New York Yankees won their first NFL game, 31-28, over Green < Bay. TWO SECOND half touchdown passes by the 49ers' number two quarterback, Y. A. Tittle, enabled the "giant-killers" from the coast to drop the Lions into second place, one-half game behind the victorious Rams. Although San Francisco has only a 5-4-1 record for their season's efforts, they have de- feated such outstanding teams as the Cleveland Browns, the Rams, and now the Lions. The 49ers scored first on a 90- yard march which was started on short passes thrown by Frankie Albert and was climaxed by John Strzykalski's one yard plunge. AFTER THE intermission Tittle connected through the air twice for TDs, one a 23-yard flip to Bill Jessup and another to Joe Arenas, while Bobby Layne tossed a touch- down pass to Dorne Dibble in the third quarter for the Lions' only TD. The Los Angeles Rams spot- ted the Bears a 14-0 first quar- ter lead, then handed them a 42-17 beating at Wrigley Field before the largest Chicago pro- fessional crowd of the year, 50,286. Two quick Bear touchdowns, both scored by quarterback John- ny Lujack, gave the partisan crowd a distorted picture of things to come. Immediately after Chi- cago's second tally, the Rama came back in a big way when Bob Waterfield hurled a 91-yard TD pass to Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch. The powerful Cleveland Browns scored in every period to crush the last place Chicago Cardinals, 49- 28. The Cards were behind, 42-0, when they made their first score in the third quarter. The New York Giants kept alive their slim hope of overtaking the Browns by turning a fumble and an intercepted pass into two touchdowns to defeat Pittsburgh, 14-0. the offensive or defensive team. * * * OFFENSE Ends - Perry, Michigan, and Faverty, Wisconsin.

While the big concern last year was defense, this campaign the Wolverines are well set for rear guards. At the 1950-51 season opened, only Graham Cragg had had any appreciable defense experience, and a new' goalie was needed. This season Michigan has hold- overs Cragg, Bob Heathcott, and Alex McClellan, plus Willard Ikola, a talented sophomore goal tender, for the defense corps. Soph de- fensemen Reg Shave and Jim Haas, plus the above mentioned players, cause Heyliger to state, "We'll have better team balance this year." MICHIGAN STATE, stronger by far than it has been the past two seasons, and Montreal, one of the top three Canadian college outfits, make a valid yardstick to measure how the Wolverines should fare this year. The Spartans have tuned up for Michigan with two easy triumphs over Ontario Agri- cultural College, and they have vowed an intention to "knock off some of the big teams-Michigan, North Dakota, Denver." MSC mentor, Amo Bessone, who moved f r o m Michigan Tech this year, has gathered a flock of Canadian freshmen (freshmen are all eligible for I-M Scores VOLLEYBALL Hawaiians 4, Roger Williams 2 Wesleyan 4.

"In fact," the genial Wolverine mentor states, "State figures to be one of the three teams to beat for Mid- western Collegiate Hockey League honors which includes a bid to the NCAA tournament." N o r t h Dakota and Denver, coached by Celley, also are strong this year, according to Heyliger. Considering the integration in the Michigan lineup of' eight sophomores without previous var- sity experience who will improve as the campaign wears on, a cou- ple of good performances against the "new look" Spartans and Mon- treal will make the season outlook bright indeed. but Cigars are a AMan's Smoke: rIA-i1 F Today!! 8 HAIRCUTTERS - I i The Baseola Near Michigan Barbers Theater You need not inhale to enjoy a cgar!J CIGAR INSTITUTE OF' AMERICA, INC.j I L, 1 I 0 At Mast's . , DECEMBER IS BARGAIN MONTH 10%o-20 - 30%/(off !
