PRO GRID AMBITIONS:
Janowicz AttemptsFootball Comeback
By SOL ROSEN
Can Vic Janowicz make the
grade again as a top flight football
player after a four year absence?
That is the question that profes-
sional football enthusiasts would
like answered as the National Foot-
ball League enters its second week
of play.
Janowicz, it will be recalled, was
a two-time All-American while per-
forming as a one-man gang for
the Buckeyes of Ohio State Uni-
versity.
Janowicz also excelled in base-

ever, because.s,
ball while at Ohio State. Upon his
release from service, representa-
tives from the Major Leagues as
well as representatives from the
NFL made him lucrative offers for
his services on their respective
teams. He finally accepted an es-
timated $25,000 bonus from the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Janowicz' fortunes didn't fare too
well with the smoky city nine. His
lack of experience forced the Pitts-
burgh management to assign him
the unenviable position of third-
string catcher.
Janowicz did not see much action
these past two seasons. In an ef-
fort to salvage some value from
their expenditure, the Pirates ex-
perimented with him as a third
baseman. However, his impotent
bat plus. his inability to field in a
major league. caliber, forced his
return to the bench once more.
Realizing that he had no future
in baseball, Janowicz decided to
try his fortunes in the National
Football League. He contacted the
Washington Redskins, who own his
draft rights, and they promptly of-
fered him a contract.
Janowicz is now in the process
of getting back into shape once
more for the grid wars. His legs
do not have the drive and power
that they once had, as he has not
faced any competition of any con-
sequence since the East-West game
of 1951..
Crisler Calls
For Change.
In TV'Policyl
ST. CLAIR (R) - University of
Michigan Athletic Director Fritz
Crisler called on the National Col-
legiate Athletic Assn. (NCAA) yes-
terday to change its policy on tel-
evision coverage of college football
games.
Crisler told the Michigan Assn. of
Radio and Television Broadcasters
(MARTB) convention "the pattern
of televising college games that the
NCAA has established is not prac-
ticable or saleable."
He said:
"There must be some change in
present policy. We can't live with
what we have."
Crisler characterized the colle-
giate attitude on the question as
one of a "defensive nature."
He said that colleges are trying
to protect themselves. But he said
this "defensive", attitude isn't "ten-
able" in view of what the Big Ten
proposed on regional telecasting
this fall.
Crisler said he felt Big Ten
schools were all sympathetic to
the broadcasters' problems.
"Perhaps Michigan, Michigan
State and the MARTB should sit
down together to consider what
they must do," he said.
Michigan State Athletic Director
Clarence (Biggie) Munn declined
comment on the question.
DETROIT (R---Fred Hutchinson
resigned Thursday as manager of
the Detroit Tigers amid rumors
he next would be seen in the uni-
form of the Baltimore Orioles.
Hutchinson's resignation h a d
been anticipated since he an-
nounced he would settle for noth-
ing less than a two-year contract
as manager. The six-man board of

Faces .Denison
In Initial Tilt
The Michigan soccer team will
open its 1954 season tomorrow'
when it meets the Denison Univer-
sity squad at Granville, Ohio.
The Wolverines will present a'
relatively inexperienced . lineup,
since many of last year's regulars
were lost through graduation. Den-
ison, on the other hand, will pro-
vide a stern test for the Maize-and-
Blue booters, since it is rated one
of the strongest teams in the Mid-
west.
.500 Season
Michigan last year met some of
the best teams in this section of
the country, finishing the cam-
paign with 3 wins, 3 losses, and 2
ties. This year's schedule includes
Ohio State, Indiana, Notre Dame,
Michigan Normal, Michigan State,
and the Detroit Royals.
Coach Hank Reichart, an All-
Midwest Conference forward last
year, has a broken leg which has
dimmed the Wolverine hopes
somewhat.
The team practices Tuesday and
Thursday at 4:30 p.m. at the soc-
cer field east of the Michigan Sta-
dium. Any students interested in
trying out for the squad are invit-
ed to attend.
Walter O. (Spike) Briggs, voted
Thursday to offer Hutchinson the
Tigers' usual one-year contract and
Hutchinson immediately declined.
Briggs said the one-year contract
proposal was Tiger policy and the
board did not want to vary from it.
Offered to O'Doul
Some sources close to the Tigers
said Frank (Lefty) O'Doul, man-
ager of San Diego in the Pacific
Coast League, had not only been
offered the job as Tiger manager
but had indicated he would accept.
Hutchinson, at 35 the youngest
manager in the major leagues,
would say only that he was re-
signing because of "personal rea-
sons."
His firmness in holding out for
the two-year contract bolstered ru-
mors he had been offered a job as
coach of the Orioles and would
work with his old friend, Paul
Richards, who now is doubling as
field and general manager of the
club. It was said Hutchinson was
promised he would manage the
club in 1956.
Denies Rumor
In New York, Clarence Miles,
President of the Orioles, said
Thursday, "I would be amazed if
that were true. I know nothing
about it."-
Miles and Richards were attend-
ing the World Series. Richards
could not be reached immediately.
for comment.
In Seattle, Dewey Soraine, Gen-
eral Manager of the Seattle club,
said, "I would like nothing more
than to have Fred take over the

manager would make.
Hutchinson was en route to
Cleveland, where he was to see the
next three Series games.
Hutchinson was elevated to man-
ager July 5, 1952. His team ended
up in last place in 1952, sixth last
year and fifth this season.
Cheerleaders
The 1954-55 Michigan cheerlead-
ers were announced yesterday,
with .Bill Winkler leading the 8-
man crew.
Winkler was named Head Cheer-
leader, with Dave Edwards picked
as Assistant Head Cheerleader. The
other cheerleaders are Kurt Can-
non, Jack Rose, Tom Robertson,
Nick Wiese, Jack Burchfield, and
Ralph Watts.
On a field slippery and muddy
from two days of rain, the Mich-
igan football team went through
its final major drill yesterday be-
fore facing the Cadets from West!
Point in the Wolverine home op-
ener tomorrow.
Today's schedule includes only
a light workout with main atten-
tion centered on signal drills for
the Mainze-and-Blue squad which
will attempt to perform what no
other team in Michigan history
has been able to do-beat an Army
eleven.
Wolverine spirits were high on
a gloomy afternoon as the varsity
gridders worked on stopping the
'Cadet offense for the third day.
Particular stress was laid on the
passing of Pete Vann, Army quar-
terback and one of the East's top
passers.
At Full Strength
Yesterday marked the first time
in several weeks that the squad
has been at full strength for prac-
tice. Lou Baldacci, Dan Cline, Ron
Kramer, and Jim Bates all put in
an appearance at the workout.
Baldacci, who injured his shoul-
der in the Washington tilt, don-
ned shoulder pads for the first
time yesterday and appeared ready
for at least limited action against
the Black Knights.
Cline and Kramer seem to have
shaken off most of the effects of
their injuries and will probably
be used extensively in the opener.
Cline's knee has responded well to
treatment, while Kramer seem-
ingly is bothered very little by his
hip injury.
Bates Back
Bates, who left Health Service
Wednesday morning, was allowed
to take only a token part in the
practice. WIlle recovered from
the pneumonia which had placed
him on the disabled list for sev-
eral weeks, he is not yet strong
enough- to withstand a fullscale
practice session.
Not taking a. chance on the in-
jured backs, Oasterbaan had Dave
Hill, and Fred; Baer working ex-
tensively at fulbick, while Tom
Hendricks saw a lot of action at
left half.
The Cadet squad will arrive at
Willow Run around 1:00 p.m. to-
day. Coach Earl Blaik's men will
workout' in the Stadium tomorrow
afternoon.
Contrary -to rumor, the game is
not a sellout. About 80,000 fans
are expected to witness the con-
test if the weather is nice. Due
to the early start of the pre-game
activities, tickets will be on sale at
the Stadium on Saturday morning,
instead of the usual practice of
opening the Stadium box office at
noon.
