Regarding His Latest Football Find
BY Frank G. ArENKE.

, line almost every time he crashed into
Il and circled ends for ease. and was
eel-like in running back punts-
Punts Like Pat O'Dea-
Sparks ranks right now-in his first
year as a Michigan regular-as the
greatest quarterback Michigan ever has
had. There is nothing he cannot do
and do in a way that thrills. Even in
puntinS he is a wizard and his method
+ is reminiscent of Pat ODea, the great
Wisconsin booter-
Sparks, like O'Dea, has mastered that
difficult trick of successfully punting
after throwing the ball with force at
the uprising boot. Almost all other
punters in the game play safe by drop
ping the ball on the boot They realize
that to throw it hard at the shoe will
give greater height and distance to the
kick, but they know full well that the
throwing is dangerous. as the ball and
foot are likely TO meet at an angle
thus ''slicing" the kick.
But Sparks can do it-and therein
lies one of the main causes for Michi-
gan's success this season. His kicks
are long and high and give almost his
entire team plenty of time 10 get down
the field. cover" the man who is set
for the catch and then dump him at
once. During that Aggie game not one
OF the Wolverine foemen made more
than tow yards on any Of the Sparks
punts-a record that may stand for
years.
Recalls Memories of Eekerssn.
One of the peculiar features of that
drop kick Sparks made against the
Aggies was that not until then-no one.
not even Yost-knew that he had skill
in that line. The kid never had been
called upon before 10 display his wares
in that drop kicking, and was too mod
est to tell Yost that he could do a bit
Of IL in pinches.
When Sparks made that extraordi-
nary play, the Aggies thought it was
a new trick OF Yost's. And so they
watched for similar ones after that.
Sparks knew they were watching and
the opportunity for cross
ing the Aggies. Several times after
that he signaled for a kick formation.
The Aggies set themselves for a dupli-
cation Of the implanted play. And al
ways Sparks did something else 10 the
ritter beWilderment Of the Aggies.
And now the west is asking:
Has Walter Eckersall been reincar-
mated in Clifford Sparks?"

that Welsh has refused to
