U1D.AUGUST 13,T1944.HE MIiCHIGAN DAILY PAGE Bob Westf all Signs Michigan A Il-American Joins Dora is Backfield Decision To Play Clarifies Football Situation; Leaves Unsolved Question of Big Ten Rules By BILL MULLENDORE Bob Wes4all, former Michigan All-American fullback and member of the famed Harmon-Evashevski-Westfall trio which scourged the West- ern Conference three years ago, has decided to play pro football with the Detroit Lions, thus ending the speculation as to whether he might once again be in the Wolverine backfield this fall. Lion coach, Gus Dorais, announced yesterday that the chunky spin- ning back had come to terms and signed a contract yesterday afternoon, terminating the controversy not only as to whether he would play for r Michigan but also as to his eligibility under Big Ten wartime rules. Even since Michigan's summer football practice got underway, rumors have been flying around the Wolverine grid camp about Westfall's status, and last week a vote of Conference coaches was underway to determine his eligibility because of his previous three years of competition and his civilian A COUPLE status. It is understood that the vote will be taken anyway as a ruling burg, S. C. on possible similar cases. Youngstow Contract To Play Football for Lions Westfall terminated his grid career at Michigan in 1941 and entered the Army Air Corps, after achieving universal All-America- recognition. After a short stay in the Air Corps, he was transferred totheyRadio Corps where he suffer- ed a fall from a horse and conse- quently received a medical dis- charge. During the summer Westfall has been working in a war plant. He has kept in close touch with both Wolverine Coach H. 0. Crisler and the Lion organization and at one, time said that he would not play pro football. Crisler was not available for comment on Westfall's decision.r "Bullet Bob" starred at Ann Ar- bor High School for several seasons before enrolling at Michigan and then proceeded to demonstrate his ability as one of the finest spinning' fullbacks in the country. For two of his three seasons of collegiate com- petition he teamed with Tom Har- mon in one of the greatest of all Michigan backfields. As a running mate to Harmon, Westfall was somewhat over- shadowed and it was not until "Terrible Tommy" graduated that Westfall came into his own and garnered the coveted All-America award, being named by both Col- lier's and the Associated Press. Many observers felt that Westfall did much to make Harmon great by setting the stage for the Gary Ghost's off-tackle slants. ville, Ind., ; Aug. 30 at BACK IN Me( Asl E OF BEARS-Connie Mack Berry (on ground), Spartans- , a former North Carolina State end, and Fred Mundee, of n, Ohio, former Notre Dame gridman, warm up at College- as the Chicago Bears get set to play the College All-Stars Evanston, Ill.

Meet Fries, Church, Kogen, Kessler and Pulford Are Wolverine Entrants Five members of Michigan's 1943-' 44 swimming team will be among the members of Wolverine swimming coach Matt Mann's squad competing in the A.A.U. national outdoor swim- ming championships to be held Aug. 24-27 at Great Lakes, Ill. Mann has entered Charlie Fries, Mert Church, Gordon Pulford and Bill Kogen, freestylers, and breast- stroker Heini Kessler in the meet as well ash.,several of his youthful pro- teges from Camp Chikopi in Ontario which the Wolverine tank mentor directs. Kogen is entered in the 100, 200 and 400 meter freestyle events, Fries in the 100 meter distance, and Kess- ler in his specialty, the breaststroke. Kogen and Fries will also team with Church and Pulford in the 800 meter freestyle relay. Among the entries from Camp Chikopi is Mann's son,, Matt Mann III, one of the finest young swim- mers in the state. The younger Mann seems destined to follow in the foot- steps of his illustrious father who once was the British Isles champion. Other entries in the meet include freestyler Jerry Kerschner, formerly of the Great Lakes squad which twice defeated the Wolverines in dual meets last winter and swept to the indoor A.A.U. crown. Kerschner is now swimming for the Bunker Hill Naval Air Station. The five Michigan swimmers were key men in the Wolverine's triumph in the Western Conference meet last season and in the heart-breaking done-point loss to Yale in the National Collegiates.
