Branoff Sparks Wolverines on Offense, Defense
Py WARREN WERTHEIMER
Bennie Oosterbaan, Michigan's
football coach has stated that the
Wolverine style of play "runs the
right halfback to death"; Ooster-
baan and Michigan are fortunate
indeed to have a right half who
seems to be able-to run all day,
Tony Branoff.
Branoff is one of the hardest
runners that you'll see on a foot-
ball field. Although he doesn't
realize it, Branoff actually grunts
while he is running which is a
true indication of how much he
puts out on each play.
LAST YEAR while only a fresh-
man, the 5-10, 185 pounder car-
ried 86 times with an average of
slightly less than four yards per
try. This year he has gained over
400 yards on the ground for a 4.6
yard average.
However, Branoff does a lot

Gy m Team
By DAVE BAAD
Michigan's gymnastics team
went through an informal intra-
squad match yesterday, as Coach
Newt Loken continued prepara-
tions for the season's opening dual
meet, December 12, with Notre
Dame.
Led by captain Mary Johnson,
whose consistent all-around per-
formance last year won him the
team's most valuable citation, the
Wolverines worked on the trampo-
line, side horse, high bar, parallel
bars and the flying rings during
the afternoon's workout.
WITH THE exception of a few
widely separated spots, Loken
Vwasn't too satisfied with the team's
overall performance, indicating
that the squad needs a lot of prac-
tice especially on the routine exer-
cises.
Bill Winkler, trampoline pse-
cialist, who is expected to be a
heavy point scorer this winter,
turned in a good demonstration
and Bill Fox and Pete Burch-
field, first year men on the
tramp did well considering their
inexperience.
The loss of Don Hurst through
graduation and Frank Adams due
to ineligibility has forced Loken
to rebuild his trampoline combi-
nation. Burchfield, a senior, has
been switched to the tramp to help
fill the gap.
Johnson, Big Ten finalist in
", four events this past spring, was
impressive on the parallel bars yes-
terday and Harry Luchs satisfied
Loken with his horizontal bar ma-
nuevers.
It was his pass to Bob Topp for
66 yards and a score that gave
Michigan its victory over Pennsyl-
vania.

BRANOFF has also caught ten
passes, scored 33 points, handled
the Wolverine punting chores,
kicked off, held for extra points,
and carried out his blocking as-
signment very well.
While primarily thought of as
an offensive star, he does a top
notch job on defense. As a mat-
ter of fact, it was as a defensive
player that Branoff first broke
into the Michigan lineup.
As you might guess, he prefers
to play under the one platoon
system. As he himself puts it, "Al-
though the one platoon setup cuts
down a bit on the number of men
used by getting rid of the spec-
ialists, those who play get more
out of the game and you are forced
to stay in tip top shape. I also
think it makes for more interest-
ing football."
BRANOFF began playing orga-
nized footballin the seventh grade.
He lettered for three years in the
sport at Flint Central, almost set-
ting a record for scoring in his
senior year.
After racking up 99 points and
needing two more touchdowns to
set a new mark, he sustained a
knee injury with two games to
go. This later necessitated an
operation.
While in high school, he also
played basketball and baseball for
two years. The 18-year old lit
school student still has some base-
ball ambition and may go out for
the Wolverine nine in the spring.
Branoff has no desire to play
pro ball figuring that three years
of high school and four years of
college football are plenty.
He has made a lot of friends
while playing football and says,
"It is a sincere pleasure to work
with the coaches and players of
Michigan's gridiron squad. As for
next year, I think we'll be more
powerful. We'll have a tough time
replacing some of the graduating
seniors, but I still think Michigan
will have a much better team in
'54."

Third Fund-Raising Proj eet
By BECKY CONRAD
As part of a three-stage drive for funds the campus World Uni-
versity Service chapter will get its third project underway in a carni-
val atmosphere at 8 p.m. today in Lane Hall with a booth-studded
WUS-Capade.
Wet-sponge-throwing, garter-hurling contests and colorful booths
sponsored by various campus groups will feature the first annual
WUS-Capade fund-raising campaign.
Funds contributed today will go directly to the WUS international
office in Geneva, Switzerland for distribution to destitute students all
over the world.
THE RECENT campus WUS bucket drive netted the organization
$500. A set-up with the University Hospital whereby students may
donate blood for money to go'to WUS funds is currently in operation,
according to Dave Goldstick, '54, chairman of the local chapter.
- The eight-year old Service annually conducts fund-raising
and educational campaigns on more than 700 American college
campuses in support of the WUS program.
Running on a million dollar budget, the WUS projects fall into
five main fields of service: food, clothing, medical aid, books and
housing. Student dollars, francs; pounds and guilders from 19 na-
tions have already opened canteens, provided emergency shelters,
stocked reading rooms, furnished travel aid and cared for the sick.
In Malaya, the Service currently includes projects providing sup-
plies to meet the great need for educational equipment at universities
in the under-developed and war-
ravaged nation.
more on the gridiron than just
run. While the Michigan single
wing offense doesn't give the
right half much opportunity to
pass, the Flint sophomore has
still managed to complete three
passes in five attempts, good for
113 yards and one touchdown.

REPORTS FROM the WUS-
sponsored library at the Univer-
sity of Freiburg in Germany indi-
cate waiting lists for books are so
long the last student will not have
a chance to get one of the books
for two years. Similar collections
are being sent to all university
centers.
Despite crowded conditions
and inadequate equipment, In-
dian students at Haldwani in
Terai territory pursue their stud-
ies in chemistry with WIUS-sup-
plied laboratory equipment and
study aids to the university.
WUS funds help to support
technical assistance efforts design-
ed to bring to the people of tech-
nologically under-stocked'Pakistan
a knowledge of basic skills and
elementary techniques.
At a cost shared by the Service
and the Greek government, a stu-
dent pavilion is in the building
stage as part of the large tubercu-
losis sanatorium near Salonika.
Five WUS-sponsored medical
programs have been} started in
Indonesia to combat malaria, chol-
era and smallpox, for undernour-
ishment and exposure have ser-
iously affected student health in
the war-racked country. Relief
funds are also purchasing supplies
of quinine, vaccines, bandages and
penicillin.
