PERATION PIGSKIN
D-DAY... INDIANA
By DICK KRAUS
FOR THE LAST TWO seasons Hoosierland lightning has struck down
Michigan's Conference title hopes, and wise old Bo McMillin is already
priming his Indiana eleven for that Saturday next Fall when he aims to
4make it three in a row.
From the look of things the Conference title might well be decided on
that first week-end when Michigan opens its campaign against the Hoosiers.
McMillin has almost everything back from the eleven which last Fall proved
too much for the rest of the Big Nine.
Despite the fact that he has lost Bob Ravensburg and Ted Kluszew-
ski, a combination which rated with Navy's Bramlett-Duden duo as the
best end pairs in the land last Fall, McMillin's flank situa'tion will not
be too greatly weakened.
One end spot, in fact, may even be strengthened. The return of Chick
Jagade and Hugh "Knocky" McKinnis, two pile driving fullbacks from. pre-
war days, will enable McMillin to re-convert Pete Pihos, an All-American
end in the Bill Hilenbrand era. Pihos moved into the backfield last Fall to
bolsler a line bucking and backing deficiency. To go along with him the
Hoosiers will have Ted Hasapes, '41-'42 Frank Hoppe, '44 starter, Pooney.
Carter, '42 freshman standout, Larry Napolitan, Al Peterson, and Richard
Frank, who alternated at end and tackle in '44.
IN THE CENTER of the line Indiana is the same as last year except for
one major improvement. Johnny Cannady, named by McMillin as the
finest line backer seen at Indiana in the last decade, is expected to recover
from a knee operation, performed last Winter, and resume activity at cen-
ter. Al Horn is the best bet for number two man rating at the pivot post.
From tackle to tackle every '45 Hoosier is back and ready to stave
off challenges from a host of aspiring Vets for starting jobs. The, line
which rated among the Nation's finest defensive units'last Fall saw Russ
Deal and Johnny Goldsberry at the tackles, Howard Brown and Joe So-
winski at the guards. Carl Nestor, Ed Sidwell, John Kokos, Frank Ciolli,
and John Wade are around to push the incumbents for regular status
and to provide reserve power for the Hoosier middle.
In the backfield, McMillin's major problem is that of replacing All
Conference George Taliaferro, the negro tailback ace. Big George's loss may
remove somte of the power from Indiana's backfield, but no speed will be
lost. Jim Dewar, an important member of the 1943 College All-Stars, and
Bob Cowan, '42 sophomore speedster, are in a battle for Taliaferro's old job.
Both are exceptionally fast and excellent pass catchers.
The pass receiving ability is vital because McMillin always manages to
come up-with one of the Nation's best tossers, as wtiness Bigy Hildenbrand
and Hunchy Hoernschmeyer. This season is no exception, and in Hoosier-
land any statement hinting that Brooklyn Ben Raimondi isn't the finest
short Passer in the collegiate football world borders on treason. After his
performance last Fall even non-Hoosiers admit that the Indiana quarter-
back rates with the best. In addition he is a brilliant field general.
FOR RIGHT HALF duty, the 1945 alternates are still on hand in Dick
Deranek and Mel Groomes, a pair who battled to no decision for exclusive
rights to the job all last season.

Jagade and McKinnis will give the Hoosiers better line smashing
than Pihos could provide last Fall. Jagade, a 204 pounder averaged bet-
ter than four yards per try as a 17-year-old freshman in '44, while
McKinnis did even better with a 5.32 average in '42 competition. Neither
boy may be the equal of Pihos as a blocker or line-backer but Hoosiers
insist that no one in the country last Fall was either.
There has been no official word from the Indiana camp that Pihos will
go back to end this Fall, but the return of Jagade and McKinnis and the
loss of Ravensberg arid Kluszewski make it seem like a logical move.
This squad should be as tough as the one which ranked third in the na-
tion last year and its reserve strength is much greater than that available
in '45. There never was a M'cMillin coached team that wasn't tough, even in
the lean years, in spite of the perennial wail about "Bo's Pore Li'l Boys." For
1946 as in 1945 it seems to be more a case of "Bo's Pore Li'l Opponents."
