MSC Back Zagers Fills U~~7T 33 * Former Flint Teammates Clash Saturday - I The social fraternity championship battle will pit Phi Delta Theta' against Sigma Alpha Mu in a game which should be decided on the1 strength of the winning team's pass defense. Both squads have excel- lent passers and the air should be filled with a lot of pigskin. Throwing the leather for the Phi Delts will be left halfback Russ Swaney who has hurled his team to victory over Theta Delta Chi, Acacia, Tau Delta Phi, Alpha Delta Phi, and Delta Tau Delta. Warren Wertheimer, who was named to the 1952 intramural all-star team, has led his Sigma Alpha Mu squad to successive victories over Zeta Beta Tau, Triangle, Alpha Sigma Phi, Pi Lambda Phi 'and Sigma Chi, last year's social'fraternity champion. The residence halls final clash finds Gomberg House of the South Quadrangle squaring off against Lloyd House of the West Quad. Again it will be a battle of passers as Lou Megeysi, Gomberg star quarterback, will try to outdo Lloyd's Jack Watson. Also in the Gomberg backfield is Jim McClurg, a 1952 All-star selection. Unscored Upon . . LOYD HOUSE is unscored upon in intramural competition to date, having scored consecutive shutout victories over Cooley, 2-0, Kelsey, 26-0, Reeves, 6-0, Adams, 20-0, and Huber, 12-0. Gomberg House, though having been scored upon three times this season, has piled up at least twenty points in all but one game. The Gomberg squad defeated Scott, 25-0, Michigan, 20-7, Hinsdale, 22-0, Williams, 20-6, and Allen-Rumsey, 12-6. Delta Sigma Delta faces Phi Delta Phi in the professional fra- ternity finale in the opening game on tonight's card.

More Zeros.,,, LIKE TWO OF THE other finalists, Standish-Evans is also un- scored upon, having won four straight whitewashes over Forestry, Hawaians, Nakamura, and Fletcher Hall.

The evening's activity gets underway at 5:15 as Delta Sigma Delta faces Phi Delta Phi. At 6:30, Newman Club battles Standish-.Evans for the independent league title. At 7:30 Gomberg House tackles Lloyd House in the residence hall showdown and at 8:30 the final game of the evening will determine the social fraternity champion as Phi Delta Theta ,meets Sigma Alpha Mu. Last year's final games produced four shutout contests in an exciting evening of football. Tonight's games find eight undefeated houses out to protect their unblemished records. If past performance is any indication of what to expect tonight, the fans will certainly witness a great evening of football. By ART EVEN Sigma Alpha Epsilon put on a brilliant defensive show yesterday while shutting out Chi Phi, 7-0, in the social fraternity second divi- sion finals. The game was highlighted by seven pass interceptions, five of them were grabbed by the winners. * * * SAE TOOK the opening kick- off and promptly surrendered the ball on the first play from scrim- mage as Lee Krumbolz of Chi Phi intercepted a pass deep in his own territory. Krumbolz then fired three completions as Chi Phi moved Munn Seeks Two Platoons EAST LANSING - () - Mich- igan State Football Coach Biggie Munn had a suggestion Tuesday for the ideal rule setup on platoon football. Munn told the Michigan foot- ball writers he was still opposed to the single platoon system, * * * , "WHY NOT allow the two pla- toons again?" He suggested. "Then coaches who still like the single platoon system could play just one platoon. There's nothing to stop those who like the horse and buggy days of football from play- ing under that system." Munn declared the single pla- toon system was resulting in more injuries because the play- ers have to work at strange posi- tions. "It's not the same type of foot- ball at all," he said. "You just don't have the time to work with both the offense and defense." * *.* MUNN SAID that due to in- juries his squad was "probably in the wrost shape of the year" for the Michigan game. "We'll try to pull a team togeth- er though," he added. Sports publicist Les Etter, rep- resenting the University of Michi- gan, said he could agree with Munn on one point. "I'll agree that it's not the same game of football," Etter said, "es- pecially at the University of, Michigan." to midfield.

Sigma Nu scored on the second play of the game on a pass from Jules Hanslovski to Tom Skrentny. Triangle came storming back with two touchdowns to ice the game. Both were scored by the passing combination of Paul Anderson to Harry Anderson. Alpha Kappa Kappa overwhelm-l ed Phi Chi, 25-7, in the profes- sional fraternity second division finals. Bill Lukash of AKK was the big difference between the teams. He riddled the hapless Phi Chi defense with passes all afternoon.

The last two touchdowns were scored by Goethe and Clark on two more Lukash passes. Phi Chi's points came in the waning sec- onds on a pass from Ace Mueller to Al McPhail. Billy Wells of Menominee, the regular at the position, is out withI a bout of pneumonia and won't be able to play against Michigan. WELLS, second leading ground- gainer behind Flint's Leroy Bolden this season, will be a hard man to replace. Bert Zagers, junior from Cad- illac, is being groomed to start in place of Wells. Zagers got some seasoning at the spot in practice last week when Wells had to miss several workouts because of a foot injury. He also saw duty at the position against Ohio State. TRAVIS BUGG§, a sophomore from East Chicago, Ind., now rates as second man at the spot. Gene Lekenta, utility back from Grand Rapids who can play nearly every spot in the backfield, was shifted from quar- terback to work at right half. Jerry Musetti, Detroit sopho- more, also was running at the position. Ray Eggleston, a sophomore from Jackson who has looked es- pecially good on the defense, play- ed at both right and left half in the workouts. EARN WHILE YOU LEARN1!!!

By DON LINDMAN Friends today, enemies tomor- row-that's he situation in which Duncan McDonald, John Veselen- ak, Leroy Bolden, and Ellis Duck- ett will find themselves when they trot onto the turi or Michigan State's Macklin Field this Satur- day afternoon. Three years ago the quartet led one of the greatest high school football teams in Michigan prep history to the state grid cham- pionship. THE FORMER Flint Northern' High School stars will meet again this Saturday, but this time they'll be opponents. McDonald and Vese- lenak will be wearing the maize and blue uniforms of Michigan, while Bolden and Duckett will face them as green and white clad Spartans from Michigan State. McDonald, Bolden, Duckett, and, Freddie Williams formed a backfield which was the scourge of Michigan prep circles during the ,1949-50 seasons, while Vese- lenak was a star end for the Vikings in 1950. During that time only one loss marred the Northern grid ,record, which in- cluded a fifteen game winning streak. Praised by Coach Guy Houston as the best team in Northern his- tory, the 1949 Vikings captured the Saginaw Valley Conference title. They returned the follow- ing season to successfully defend the championship while annexing the state crown. McDONALD, the quarterback gained national recognition for his phenomenal passing record. He averaged 24 yards a toss while completing nearly half his passes over the two year span, Halfbacks Bolden and Duck- ett ran wild as they handled the, Northern ground game. Scoring 26 touchdowns, 15 of them from beyond midfield, Bolden averaged nearly ten yards a carry for two years as a prep sensation. Duckett, his running mate, averaged eight yards a try over the same per- iod and tallied 24 times. Veselenak, playing end for the Vikings, was on the receiving end of most of McDonald's passes dur- ing the 1950 season. As a senior he grabbed 14 aerials, averaging nearly 18 yards per catch. * * * HOUSTON called Bolden, Duck- ett, and McDonald the best backs in Northern history. His judg- ment was vindicated when Mc- Donald and Bolden were unani- mous 1950 all-state grid selections. A unanimous all-state back in 1949, Duckett was hampered most of the following season by a leg injury but still managed to win recognition on several all-state teams. Veselenak also gained all- state attention on second and third teams in 1950, while Wil- liams could very well have gain- ed the same honors had he not been overshadowed by the ex- ploits of Bolden, Duckett, and McDonald. After graduation the prep stars parted. Bolden and Duckett en- rolled at Michigan State, while Veselenak chose Michigan, and Williams picked the University of Arkansas. After visiting West Point, McDonald also elected to attend Michigan. Four of them will meet again this Saturday afternoon, but the reunion will be anything but pleasant for a few hours. ill[ STUDENTS ANY SEAT IN THE HOUSE ... 50c THURSDAY, NOV. 12 Department of Speech Production EOLIZABE'TH THE QUEEN By MAXWELL ANDERSON Regular Rate $1.20, 90c, 60c All Seats Reserved Nov. 12, 13, 14, and 16 8 P.M. LYDIA MENDELSSOHN THEATRE Michigan Runs Spartan Plays i Full Scale Scrimmage 0) Ii White jerseys clashed with green at Ferry Field yesterday as Mich- igan's varsity grid squad and the Wolverine reserves staged a pre- view of Saturday's traditional bat- tle against Michigan State. Wearing green jerseys to accus- tom the regulars to the Spartans' colors, the fourth string ran State's wing-T and standard T-formation plays against the white-shirted varsity in a half-hour full-scale scrimmage. * * * ALTHOUGH alternating his first '~and second string lines against' the reserves, coach Bennie Ooster- baan used mostly second string players in the defensive backfield. Dick Balzhiser, Fred Baer, Cap- tain Dick- O'Shaughnessy, and John Morrow worked the lineback- er posts. Bob Hurley, George Corey, and Stan Knickerbocker took care of the defensive halfback duties while Tom Hendricks occupied the safety position. Only an occasional pass was thrown by fourth string quarter- back Bill McKinley as running plays were emphasized. The Spar- tan offense is built around its fleet "pony backfield" and its aer- ial attack is not as potent as its ground thrusts. * * * DURING THE scrimmage, re- serve backs broke through the var- sity defense for six or seven yards several times, indicating the de- ception the Wolverines will face when they invade East Lansing. Earlier in drills, Oosterbaan refreshed his charges on offen- sive maneuvers in a dummy scrimmage. Missing from this session as well as from defen- sive practice was sophomore wingback Tony Branoff. Al- though dressed for the drills, Branoff was kept out of the heavy work by a sore neck and shoulder. Speedy Ed Hickey replaced Branoff as the Wolverines polish-1 ed their single-wing and T-for- mation attacks with the emphasis on passing. Branoff is expected to be ready for the game, however. A long dummy scrimmage stress- ing pass defense' was also held with Ted Kress at safety, Lou Bal- dacci and Hickey at the halves, and Balzhiser playing linebacker while Morrow and O'Shaughnessy switched as the right side line- backer. Receiving special attention was the defensive end play, which al- lowed Illinois yardage on wide sweeps. Ends Gene Knutson, Bob Topp, Tad Stanford, John Vesele- nak, and Gerry Williams were given special instruction on such plays as well as on covering short passes in the fiats and breaking up screen passes.
