Crisler Stresses Scrimmage,
Signal Drills, at Grid Practice
NEIS+~VIEWS * MuMNT I
By BILL MULLENDORE, Daily Sports Editor
WE RECEIVED a rather interesting letter in Monday morning's mail from
Prof. Ralph Aigler taking issue with some of our remarks concerning
the differing composition by states of the Michigan and Ohio State football
squads.
Prof. Aigler, in case you didn't know, ranks as one of Michigan's top
football authorities and also as one of the school's most staunch athletic
boosters. He has served long and well in the Board in Control of intercol-
legiate Athletics and is a well-known figure at all Michigan sports events.
The reader may recall that in Saturday's Daily we made some
observations to the effect that the greater part of Ohio State's
football talent came from the state of Ohio, while Michigan teams
end to draw their personnel from outside areas to a much greater
extent.

E THOUGHT these facts interesting, especially since the two schools
have a long traditional rivalry and located within a relatively short
distance of each other. We were not, however, condemning Michigan for
its reliance on out-state football players, nor were we accusing the Uni-
versity of high-pressure tactics in bringing prospects to the school.
Prof. Aigler has this to say on the situation:
"Your observations in this morning's paper regarding the territory
from which the Ohio State and Michigan football players conic is inter-
esting. I think, however, you overlook what is probably the most import-
ant factor in the entire situation. You speak of it as if it were almost, if
not completely, a matter of 'recruiting methods'.
"Is it not obvious that any comparison of out-of-state candidates
is completely misleading unless you take into account the source of the
student bodies generally? Conditions just now are unusual, as you
point out, at least here at Michigan because of our service units.
Over a period of a good many years that might be classed as normal,
I observed that the percentage of out-of-state candidates for athletic
teams was about exactly the same as the percentage of out-of-state
students in the University generally,
"I am not in a position to speak authoritatively or specifically, but it
is common knowledge that the general student body at Ohio State is made
up very largely of boys and girls from the state of Ohio. It would then
be unusual, to say the least, if any large percentage of Ohio's athletic
candidates were to come from outside Ohio. My own studies as to the
situation here showed that, while in some years the percentage of out-
state candidates might be higher, that would be offset by perhaps a suc-
ceeding year in which the percentage was lower. I think you will find,
as I said above, that, taking a period of five years, for example, the per-
centages accord very, very closely.
"In the light of this, the seeming self-denial indicated by Mr. Wid-
does in his statement as published loses much of its force.
"MAY I ADD, frankly, that few things, athletically speaking, have irri-
tated me more than the point some of our critics have been inclined
to make, either expressly or impliedly, that Michigan must do intensive,
and perhaps improper 'recruiting' because we ordinarily have a considerable
number of out-state young men on our athletic teams. It would, indeed,
be surprising if we did not have such representation."
Upon receiving this letter, we promptly checked on Prof. Aigler's
contention and discovered, as we expected, that his observations are
correct. As a matter of fact, we had no intention of implying anything
vicious by our comparison. We have been interested for some time
in this matter of proselyting of athletes, and as far as we have been
able to discover none of thai sort of thing goes on at Michigan.
Perhaps it was the choice of the word "recruiting" that was unfor-
tunate. By it we simply meant the sum of the ways by which Michigan, or
any other school, obtains its athletes. And we definitely did not wish to
leave anyone with the notion that we were shaking a figurative finger at
the University just because it has a large proportion of out-staters on its
squads. As Prof. Aigler pointed out, it would be surprising, and perhaps
open to question, if such were not the case.

Ex-Star on Furlough
From U S.Air Corps
Aviation Cadet Gene Derricotte,
starting tailback on last season's
Michigan football team, paid a re-
turn visit to the campus yesterday
before returning to flight training at
Tuskegee, Alabana, where he has
completed his pre-flight work and is
scheduled to enter primary training.
Hailed as one of the finesthback-
field prospects Michigan has had in
recent years, Derricotte shared the
tailback duties with Bill Culligan last
fall and established himself as one
of the Western Conference's most
consistent ground-gainers. He was
one of the few freshmen ever to start
for a Michigan eleven.
Following the close of the 1944
gri{l stason, Derricotte entered the
Army, from where he made his way
into the Air Forces. He exf;;ects to
receive his commission sometime
next. spring.
Derricotte's football performance
az Michigan was hampered by a sue-"
cession of minor injuries that kept
him below peak condition most of the
season. His less near the beginning
of the final game of the campaign
against Ohio State, in which the Big
Ten championship hung in the bal-
an-, contributed more than a little
to the Wolverines' 18-14 defeat in
that contest.
Aviation Cadets are barred from'
intercollegiate competition at Tus-
kegec, so Derricotte has played lit-
tle football 'hile in service. He did
don shorts and football shoes to
work out briefly with the squad in
yesterday's drills.
Potential Starters
Reduced by Coach
Following a carefully planned
training schedule, Michigan's 1945
grid squad broke into its third week
of summer practice yesterday with
greater emphasis being placed on
scrimmage and signal drills.
Head Coaech "Fritz" Crisler con-
centrapted on tutoring his charges on
a tricky!, fast-breaking attack. Sim-
ula-ung actual game conditions, two
;quads laced each other during the
workolt. Actual body contact was
light, with special attention devoted
to smoothing out the kinks in coach
Earl Martineau's four backfield com-
binations. The daily scrimmage be-
tween the Blues and Whites ended
the pract ice session.
With the candidates revealing
more and more of their ability in
these drills, Coach Crisler has nar-
rowed the list of hopefuls who will
be potential starters in the first
game of the season nine weeks
hence. At this time the Bluejack-
ets from Great Lakes will invade
Ann Arbor in an attempt to avenge
the defeat they suffered at the
hands of the Wolverines last year.
Joe Ponsetto, quarterback on the
'44 eleven, and captain of this year's
crew is ably filling his berth and is
counted on to direct the Maize and
Blue backfield in the coming grid
clashes.
In addition, Howard Yerges, sec-
ond-string quarterback last season,
Russ Reader, and Bill Redmond are
working out in the field general's"

Mile Record
STOCKHOLM, July 1'7-44P)--Gun-
der Haegg, the long-striding Swedish
runner, smashed the world record for
the mile run today as he was clocked
in four minutes, one and four-tenths
seconds in beating Arne Andersson
in their first meeting of the season at
Malmo.
Andersson, who holds the accepted
record of 4:02.6 for the mile, also
bettered the old standard as he was
timed in 4:02.2.
Andersson, a 29-year old school-
master, made his recognized world
standard at the Swedish National
Festival Track Meet on July 1, 1943.
In doing so, he took the play away
from the more noted Haegg, who
first came into international promi-
nence when he bettered the record
set by England's Stan Wooderson in
1937. The spindly English racer lop-
ed the mile in 4:06.2 in 1937 but the
Swedish haberdasher brought the
time down two-tenths of a second in
1942 and shortly thereafter was
clocked in 4:04.6.
