WITH PHIL DOUGLIS Daily Sports Editor MICHIGAN FOOTBALL is on the spot! An upset-bound horde of Hoosiers from down Indiana way sweep into Michigan Stadium tomorrow afternoon with the sole aim of driving the final nail in Michigan's football coffin. The Hoosiers lost by only seven points to both mighty Michigan State and Ohio State, and boast one of top backs in the conference in Milt Campbell, ace quarterback Chick Cichowski, and stellar end Brad Bomba. They are far stronger than they were last year. No wonder Michigan is on the spot. The critical eyes of the football world will be watching Saturday, for a Michigan loss would send Ann Arbor screaming into oblivion as far as Big Ten title and Rose Bowl hopes go. Wolves at the ,Door... THE LEGIONS of Michigan fans are accustomed to seeing winning football however. Last week these fans were bitterly disappointed. Already, a few wolves are howling for Coach Ben Oosterbaan's job. An angry letter appearing in yesterday's Daily was apparently the opening salvo in a campaign which a loss tomorrow would bring into full bloom. Let us go on record right here and now to say that as both a football coach and a person, Ben Oosterbaan is beyond question outstanding. True, his coaching -;. methods may be a bit subdued for those fans who thrive on blood and thunder showmanship. Ooster- baan is not a showman. He is a; sincere football technician who. has produced winners consistently ': and quietly. His 6-1 record this} year speaks for itself. When it comes to football, per- haps no school in the land has more Prestige than the University of Michigan. It is this great tradi- tion which we believe will stand. her in good stead out there to- morrow afternoon. The old axiom goes "Michigan wins the big ones." The very presence of what is per- haps the most underrated foe on the Wolverine schedule makes this a "big one." It is obvious that if the Wolver- BEN OOSTERBAAN ines are to win tomorrow, they ... record speaks for itself must present a far more intense desire to win than they had last week. We think they will. The Wolverines have reason enough not to treat this as an ordinary contest. They still remember the bitter 13-9 upset at the hands of Indiana last year. The derogatory shouts of the Illini students still ring in their ears-as the huge 25-6 score remained illuminated long after game in the gathering Champaign dusk. * * *' * The Facts A re Blunt... YET THE FACTS ARE BLUNT. Michigar has won most of its games by a combination of luck or one or two successful plays. It has rarely marshalled together enough offensive strength to impress anybody. Yesterday, Sports Illustrated magazine added the last epitaph to last Saturday's debacle, They closed their story on the game with .. . "and the conference is wondering if Michigan has lucked out for the last time." Has Michigan lucked out for the last time? We'll see for ourselves tomorrow. Spirits High as GridDrills End Wolverines Not Slowed Injuries Shouts of "Get Indiana" pierced the chilly November air at Ferry Field yesterday as Michigan's grid- ders wound up their heavy drills! for the week with a spirited defen- sive workout.- Spirits were very high as the reserves ran Indiana plays againstj the varsity, which looked sharp, as time and time again the ball car- rier got no farther than the line of scrimmage. Defensive tactics were designed to stop Indiana's versatile quarter- back Gene Cichowski. In addition to being a deft passer, Cichowski showed that he is a threat as a runner by leading the Hoosier backs in rushing against Ohio State. Pass defense was stressed very heavily by Coach Bennie Ooster- baan. The Hoosiers have a fine end in Brad Bomba and the Michi- gan coach is well aware of the havoc the Cichowski to Bomba passing combination could raise come Saturday. Fullback Dave Hill, who missed Wednesday's drills because of a leg injury, was back in action and showed no bad effects from it. Also running well for the second straight day were halfbacks Terry Barr and Jim Pace. Both appear to have shaken the injuries they suffered in the Iowa game. According to trainer Jim Hunt, everyone will be ready for this Saturday's battle with the Hoos- iers. Still nursing minor injuries are guard Jim Fox, fullback Lou Baldacci and center Jerry Goebel, but Hunt indicated that none were serious enough to prevent them from playing. Following the defensive work- out, a short punting drill was held, featuring several long boots by Jim Maddock and Baldacci. The varsity line, playingonsdefense, drew Oosterbaan's praise as it dropped back nicely after the kicks and sprung Tom Hendricks and George Corey loose for touch- downs on several occasions.

By JOHN HILLYER There have been several haunt- ing figures in Michigan's football history. Of course, there was the origi- nal ghost, the "Galloping Ghost" himself-Red Grange. In 1953 it was Minnesota's Paul Giel who put on a one-man show to pin backtheears of a favored Wol- verine crew. And last year-October 30, 1954, to be exact-another ghostly fig- ure left an indelible impression on the minds of a stunned Michigan eleven. His name is Florian Helinski, a "pretty good quarterback" who played like an immortal that day. Unforgettable Score The score, as every man on this year's Michigan squad could tell you as quickly as his own name, was 13-9, in favor of an Indiana football squad which was previous- ly winless in three Conference games. The Wolverines jumped' off to a 7-0 edge, which apparently dis- turbed Mr. Helinski to extremes. ' Helinski Strikes Then, with deadly precision, Helinski hit Don Domenic with a 20-yard pass on fourth down to the Michigan four. Four plays later, Helinski took the ball over himself from inches out. A few minutes later, the Hoos- iers took a lead that was never to be bested. Sixty-seven yards were reeled off, 55 of which were cov- ered by Helinski passes. Time and time again, the luck-k less Wolverines penetratedito within 25 yards of paydirt. Time and time again, the Hoosiers stiffened and slammed the door. Thus, the final score-13-9- still rings in the ears of the men who play football for Michigan. It is a score whichi they will perhaps never forget. And if they remember it this weekend . . . Ipdiana, beware! PLAY GOLF Scenic Municipal Golf Course Now Open.

Come in and IE By DAVE RORABACHER "You realize what a privilege it is to go to Michigan when you go away and see other schools." Such was the praise of John Morrow, Michigan's rugged senior tackle, who has the distinction of being one of the few two-year lettermen on the squad. "It is a privilege to represent the University," he continued. "On the whole student support is pretty good. The students here have as much spirit as at any school but the spirit here is more mature and more critical than most. There is less of the rah-rah. "This is probably due to the large number of foreign and gradu-, ate students," he concluded. Morrow is undoubtedly more mature than most football players. Head coach Ben Oosterbaan lauded him as "a very concientious play- er.'" A local product, Morrow attend- ed Ann Arbor High School for three years where he played ball under the tutelage of Hank Fonde. It was during his years there that the Pioneers began to establish Fonde's fabulous record. After graduation from Ann Ar- bor he attended Staunton Military Academy in Virginia for a year on a scholarship. While there he was instrumental in establishing the academy as the Virginia state grid champions. Upon returning to the local scene, Morrow enrolled in the Uni- versity and immediately went out for football. The Wolverine men- tors soon switched him from his regular tackle position to the un- familiar center spot. It was in this capacity that he served through his sophomore year when he was once again switched to tackle. Morrow expresses no sentiments of preference for either position nor does he list offensive or de- fensive playing as preferred. "It is a lot of fun to make a tackle," he explains. "But it also feel great to make a good block." As to why Michigan lost to Illi- nois last weekend, Morrow was uncertain. "Being away from home is a disadvantage," was his only comment. As for Indiana-that will have to wait until tomorrow. 98 see why well-dressed men praise them so highly. Style 155: Brown Albion Grain, Wing Tip Oxford; Style 156: Black grain.
