s 1 i S * # # # f ' <", l+> By DICK SEWELL Associate Sports Editor Coach Bennie Oosterbaan and his fired-up Wolverine football machine take on a giant-killer's role this afternoon when they do battle with a power-laden Michi- gan State eleven in the 45th re- newal of their long-standing grid- iron feud. Kickoff time is set for 2 p.m. A capacity throng of 97,239 is ex- pected to cram its way into Mich- igan Stadium to witness the 19521 curtain opener. THE GREEN-SHIRTED Spar- tans come to town with trunks full of press notices, a 15-game win streak, and number one na- tional billing. On top of it all, Michigan State boasts two straight tri- umphs over the Maize and Blue gridiron warriors-a 14-7 win in 1950 and an easy 25-0 victory a year ago. However, there is little likeli- hood that Oosterbaan and Co. will be impressed by anything short of the final score. Fielding a squad basicly stronger than in the past two years, Michigan is out to pre- vent a recurrence of previous dis- asters. BEARING the brunt of Wolver- ine hopes will be the offensive backfield of Ted Kress at left half, Frank Howell at right half, Fred Baer at fullback and Ted Topor at quarterback. Kress and Baer were both called from last year's junior varsity squad to fill the Starting, Lineups MSC MICHIGAN Bobo LE Perry Serr LT Stro ewski Kush LG Timm Tamburo C O'Shaughnessy Breniff RG Belson Klein RT Stribe Dekker RE Stanford Yewcie QB Topor McAuliffe LHB Kress Pisano RHB Howell Panin F B Baer posts vacated by Bill Putich and Don Peterson. Although untried in big game competition, both have shown well in early season practice sessions. Topor, yho has shaved several pounds from his 6-1 frame, and the shifty Howell are both vet- erans of Big Ten football wars and provide a steadying influ- ence in the starting backfield. Michigan's offensive forward wall will be capably manned by seven lettermen. STARTING at end will be All- American candidate Lowell Perry and Thad Stanford, a 6-2 juniorj from Midland, Michigan. Tackle1 berths will probably go to Dick Strozewski and Ralph Stribe, both weighing in at 205. The guard positions are filled by senior Bob Timm, and Dick Beison, a 200-pound junior from East Chicago. Veteran Dick O'Shaughnessy, an off-season wrestler, will put the ball into play from his center post. The Spartan's attacking squad finds but two or three of the elev- en who answered the referee's whistle last year. Only halfbacks Vince Pisano and Captain Don McAuliffe are sure to start again. Last year's fullback, Wayne Ben- son is likely to be replaced by eith- er Dick Panin or Evan Slonac. Both are lettermen. * * * THE UNENVIABLE task of fill- ing the shoes of the graduated Al Dorow goes to his understudy, sophomore Tom Yewcic, who saw little action last season except as the team's punter. An entirely new offensive line will face the Maize and Blue. The ends spots will probably be manned by seniors Doug Bobo and Paul Dekker. Tackles will be Gordon Serr (205) and Joe Klein (210). Guard posts go to junior Bob Breniff and senior Telecast In a last minute move, the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation gave the go-ahead on televising the Michigan-Michi- gan State game today. According to Les Etter, the Michigan Athletic Publicity Director, the game will go on WWJ-TV, channel 4 at 2 p.m. barring mechanical difficulties. The NCAA approval came be- cause of the great interest in the game and because it was a complete sell-out. Frank Kush. Either Dick Tam- buro or Jim Neil will fill the pivot slot. Defensively, both teams appear unusually strong. Guards Timm and Beison, and Perry, who will handle the safety chores, will probably be called upon to do double duty. CAPTAIN Tim Green and Mey- er Morton trophy winner Gene Knutson give Michigan one of the nation's strongest defensive end combinations. Art Walker, a sophomore from South Haven, and Jim Balog, a 210-pounder from Wheaton, Ill. will get the call at tackle. Ready to back up Beison and Timm at guard are sturdy de- fenders Don Dugger and Bob Matheson. Linebacking duties fall to the capable hands of vets Roger Zat- koff and Laurie LeClaire. Dave Tinkham, a senior letter- winner from East Grand Rapids, is certain to start at one of the defensive halfback posts. Ooster- baan has tried Don Oldham, Tom Witherspoon and Howell in the other backfield berth in practice sessions, and may try all today. State's defensive unit is com- posed mainly of seasoned veter- ans. Ends Don Dohoney and Ed Luke; tackles Jack Morgan and Larry Fowler; guard Don Schiess- wohl; linebackers Doug Weaver, Tamburo, Ed Timmerman and Leo Boyd; halfbacks Rex Corless, Ray Vogt, Johnny Wilson; and safetyman Jim Ellis all saw con- siderable action last season.

The funds will finance a three- year administration of the unique program, created to fulfill a wide- spread national demand for trained dental instructors. The School of Dentistry and the Uni- versity will maintain the program after the three-year period. Previous grants from the Kel- logg foundation, totalling over $500,000, have enabled the School of Dentistry to expand its facili- ties and maintain postgraduate and graduate training on a large scale. THE SEPTEMBER Regents meeting also sent the new North Campus a little further along iri its development in an approval of architects to study new building needs of the School of Music. Saarinen and Associates, ar- chitects and consultants to the University on the development of the new campus, will work with music school Dean Earl V. Moore and possibly construct a model for a music building in the planned Fine Arts Center. The Regents yesterday accepted a total of $186,687.96 in grants and gifts, including the dental fund. Two other grants from the Kellogg Foundation, one of $19,- 339.73 for the Kellogg General Practitioners fund in the Medi- cal School and one of $500 for the Latin American Fellowship fund, were approved. AN ENDOWMENT fund to es- tablish a fellowship for a Medi- cal School student working in can- cer research will be set up with $35,656.72 granted in the estate of the late Edwin L. Flint of Chi- cago. Research in arthritis will be furthered with $27,500 given by the Michigan Chapter at Detroit of the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation.

All members of the com- munity and especially students are invited to attend the in- formal meeting, said Prof. John Dawson, locat Democratic can- didate for the House of Repre- sentatives. Pravda Hitfs US Diplomat MOSCOW (A)-A blistering at- tack by Pravda yesterday raised a question as to the future status of Ambassador George Kennan as the American envoy to Russia. Pravda, organ of the Commu- nist party and the highest journal- istic authority in the Soviet Union, charged Kennan with conduct im- proper to an ambassador and said he was a "slanderer disguised as a diplomat." The assault on the 48-year-old expert on Russian affairs, who took up his past here less than five months ago, was the result of an interview he gave reporters at Berlin Sept. 19 while en route to a London meeting of U.S. diplo- matic chiefs. He was quoted as saying that Soviet-American rela- tions had sunk to an "icy cold" level, and compared the situation of American diplomats in Moscow now with that of interned U.S. Americans in Berlin in 1941-42 during the war. Fraternity Thefts Approximately $250 was discov- ered stolen from Theta Chi and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities yesterday. New Addition * * * * Ike Unhurt As Wooden Ramp Falls By The Associated Press Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower nar- rowly escaped injury last night when a ramp leading to the ros- trum from which he had just fin- ished delivering a major campaign address collapsed under the weight of hundreds of his admirers. Flushed with the thunderous re- ception he had been given by the big crowd assembled around the south portico of the state capitol building, Eisenhower was leaving the rostrum on the capitol steps and was only six feet from the end of the wooden ramp when it sagged in the middle and fell. SEN. WILLIAM F. Knowland of California grabbed the arm of the Republican presidential can- didate, as did others in his escort. Eisenhower fell to his knees but got up quickly and told the crowd with a smile, "I'm not hurt.", The reception for the GOP presidential nominee dwarfed the welcome given here only a week ago to Democratic presi- dential nominee Adlai Steven- son. Meanwhile in Indianapolis, Ste- venson, defending the fund he set up to augment Illinois state offi- cials' pay declared yesterday "if it's a crime to help good people in government, then I'm guilty."

Members of the Board of Re- gents, State and University offi- cials, faculty members and stu- dent leaders were on hand during the hour-long ceremony that was preceded by an academic proces- sion. DEAN CHARLES E. Odegaard, of the literary college, stressed the importance of general education as he made his first major public address since his appointment on Sept. 1, to climax the program. Rep. Joseph Warner, chair- man of the State House Ways and Means Committee, officially presented the streamlined An- gell Hall wing to the University. Rep. Warner was a members of the appropriations committee 30 years ago when funds for the orignal Angell Hall were provid- ed The buildings were officially ac- cepted by Regent J. Joseph Her- bert. Speaking on what he called "academically hallowed ground" Regent Herbert said that the cere- mony should rightfully be called a "rededication' of scholastic aims. THE PRE-DEDICATION proces- sion paused at the south entrance of Angell Hall Auditorium where Senior class President Roger Wil- kens, '53 unveiled the bronze plaque of former University Pres- ident James Angell. President Har- lan H. Hatcher explained that the plaque was cast from a bas relief made in 1929 by Carleton Angell, University museum artist-no re- lation to the former president. Before being permanently placed inside the entrance to the new auditoriums, the plaque was located in the library of former President Alexander Ruthven's home. "In our time especially," Deen Odegaard said in his address, "when individual citizens in our democracy are called upon to par- ticipate in many decisions of mo- mentous import, the general wis- dom which the literery college seeks to develop in its students is a needed complement to the in- LOWELL PERRY . . . "Mr. End" STUDENT OPTIMISM UP: Town Prepares for Football Invasion By HARRY LUNN Thousands of hopeful Univer- sity students opened the 1952 foot- ball season last night with high spirits, cheering, parading and just plain confusion as they gird- ed for the Michigan State battle today. Though the season formally starts with today's kickoff, the Transportation lines were work- ing hard to get everyone here by game time. The Great Lakes Grey- hound Lines is running 100 extra buses here from nearby cities, with 55 coming in from Detroit. * * * GREYHOUND is also trans- porting 650 train passengers from the New York Central Station to{ ground communication will hover over the stadium area to spot traffic trouble. But if the city was working hard getting ready for the crowd in- vasion, University students were working harder to stir up opti- mism for an upset victory.

Passing on to Stockwell, the group soon broke up. On the whole, pep rally crowds were fairly orderly as they push- ed down State St. to Ferry _. .1 .
