l,

Coach Bennie Oosterbaan sent
his varsity squad through a rugged
scrimmage against the reserves
yesterday as the Wolverines pre-
pared for this weekend's invasion
by Army.
Obviously displeased with the
teams' work in dummy scrimmage,
Oosterbaan 'got tough' and scrim-
maged the first two teams for the
first time in two weeks. Heretofore,
the closest the team had come to
actual game conditions in practice
was dummy scrimmage.
Pace at Left Half
The scrimmage proved to be in-
teresting, with Jim Pace operating
at left halfback in place of Bob
Ptacek on the first team. Ooster-
baan attadhed no significance to
this, however,, saying, "We alter-
nated him in there just like we do
our quarterbacks."
Earlier in the year he had alter-
nated Jim Van Pelt and Jim
Maddock in practice and it was
this to which he was referring.

Grid Stats
Michigan Opponents

Van Pelt and Maddock mixed up
the offense last night, running
both T and single wing plays. In
the scrimmage the varsity looked
sharp, but beforehand they had
looked ragged.
Barr Runs Well
Terry Barr, bothered by a bruised
hip earler in the week showed no
signs of the injury as he scam-
pered around end and through the
line at full speed. John Herrnstein,
who suffered an arm injury
against Michigan State, also was
not bothered by the ailment.
Ron Kramer cavorted about at
his usual left end spot, his injured
left hand encased in a cast. This
didn't prevent him from gathering
in several passes, however.
The cast will have to be removed
by Saturday, since the rules don't
permit anything like it to be worn
in a game. However, Kramer will
wear some sort of protector over
the injury and should see action
against the Cadets.
When he isn't playing, his spot
will be taken by either Gary
Prahst, a sophomore who is im-
proving with great strides, or the
veteran Charlie Brooks.
Oosterbaan also drilled the team
on defense, with the reserves run-
ning Army's Straight T plays. The
defensive factor could be important
Saturday, since Army was second
only to Maryland in that category
in the nation last season and have
six starters in the line returning.
It is felt by the coaching staff
that the Army team is stronger
than the team that bowed to the
Wolverines, 26-2, last year. Coach
Bob Holloway, who scouted the
Cadets intheir 14-7 victory over
Penn State last weekend, reported
that quarterback Bob Kyasky is
one of the trickiest ball handlers in
college circles.
The Michigan defense yesterday
was geared to stop Kyasky and the
vaunted Army running attack.
There is no doubt that Army is
pointing for this game. Reports
from the banks of the Hudson say
that, aside from the Navy game,
this is the one that Coach Red
Blaik wants to win most.

College Football Season Marked by Fall
Of Maryland, Irish From. Nation's Best

By BRUCE BENNETT
Three weeks have gone by in the
current football season and some
notable developments have occur-
red-mainly that two old standbys,
Maryland and Notre Dame, aren't
among the nation's top teams any
more.
Of the two, Maryland has been
the biggest disappointment. Last
spring,, when Jim Tatum moved
from College Park to his old alma
mater at North Carolina, most
observers felt he should have his
head examined.
What man in his right mind
would leave a team so greatly
blessed in talent and move to a
school where the pickings were so
poor that last year's Tarheels could
win only three of ten games?
North Carolina isn't drawing rave
press notices for its exploits on
the gridiron, but Maryland, under
its -new coach Tommy Mont isn't
exactly getting them either.
Terps Lose to Syracuse
The Terps got off to a bad start
by losing to Syracuse, then man-
aged to squeak by Wake Forest,
6-0, but last week they were shut
out for the first time in 70 games,
by Baylor, 14-0.
The thing that has hurt Mary-

land most was the induction into
the army of its star quarterback,
Frank Tamburello, a few days
beforerthe Syracuse encounter.
They are still looking for his re-
placement. Meanwhile, the Terra-
pins meet Miami (Fla.) tomorrow
night and the Hurricanes are no
team with which to trifle.
Notre Dame's campaign hasn't
been quite as disastrous, yet, any-
Cadets March
The Army Cad -ts will march
to the Stadium at 12:35 on Sat-
urday, about one hour before
the start of the Michigan-Army
game. The Army will be repre-
sented by Gen. Maxwell B. Tay-
lor, chief of staff; Wilbur
Brucker, secretary of the Army;
and West Point officials.
way. SMU startled the sports
world when they pulled an opening
day upset of the Irish, but this
has been their only loss.
Irish Down Indiana
After a week's layoff, they de-
feated Indiana, 20-6, but the
Hoosiers let the South Bend team

know they were in a game. Depth
has been Coach Terry Brennan's
chief problem and injuries to sev-
eral key players haven't helped
the situation any.
The Irish hope to snap out of
their doldrums convincingly this
weekend when they tackle Purdue
at South Bend. A strong win over
the highly touted Boilermakers
could be the shot in the arm that
Notre Dame needs.
Oklahoma on Top Again
Meanwhile, out on the prairie,
Oklahoma continues to crush'
everyone in sight. This is nothing
new. Coach Bud Wilkinson uses
his first string for a quarter or
so and then gives the subs their
hour of glory, and the Sooners are
the nation's best any way you
wish to spread it.
Another interesting note has
been the resurgence to national
prominence of Tennessee. Coach
Bowden Wyatt's Volunteers are
flashing signs of returning to the
power days when the great General
Bob Neyland held the reigns of
one of the most devastating single
wing attacks in collegiate history.
The Vols get a breather this week,
clashing with Chattanooga.
