Bachman Seeks
TO Prove Rule

GREAT LAKES, ILL.,, Oct. 10
Its an old football maxim that
a coach would rather defeat his
alma mater than any opponent
on his schedule and the Great
Lakes Bluejackets run into just
that situation at Michigan State
next Saturday.
Charley Bachman, head coach
and athletic director at -Michi-
gan State, was q star center on
the indicated Great Lakes
team of 1918 which swept to the
national championship with q
victory over the Mare Island
Marines in the Rose Bowl.
Bachman, who came to Great
Lakes by way Of Notre Dame,
was named at center on Walter
Camps All-Service team that
season. While competing with
the Station team he attended the
Officers Material School and
was commissioned an ensign
along with teammates Paddy
Driscoll and George Halas.
The only mutual opponent OF
Great Lakes and Michigan
State at this stage Of the season
is the University of Michigan
which held them both scoreless.
Michigan turned back Great
Lakes in its opener, 9 to 0, and
shut out Michigan State. 20 to 0.
II he follows football tradi-
ton Bachman will have his
Spartans "up" for the meeting
with his Navy "alma mater"
