Michigan Sets
Hope on Speed
BY PAUL CHANDLER

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. "a
Up With a little sling shot,
Michigan hopes to beat the big,
bad, Bluejackets.
Speed and a nifty aerial game
against power, stamina and size.
It's won football games before,
and deep in the heart of every
Wolverine player is the convic-
ton it is enough to do il against
Great Lakes here this Saturday.
Forget the bear stories. Pen
Gil and paper says the Sailors
should win by humping mar
gin. But you wouldn't find a
man or woman along Ann Ar
bor's venerable State street who
believes the paper and pencil.
Without adequate reserves,
but with the great Tom Kuzma
in their backfield, a handful of
veterans in the line,
and unbounded hope this 1912
team sincerely expects
to open its first wartime season
with a victory.
Football experts" have gen.
orally abandoned the Wolver-
ines for this game. But let them
walk through the M i C h i g a n
dressing room after practise and
they will find hope is there,
or not.

Bill Dudley
off to Great
Start as Pro
BY ARDEN SKIDMORE

PITTSBURGH, Sept. "a Up
- Youthful Bill Dudley is off
to such brilliant start in pro
football that he's already called
better than Pittsburgh's 1941
Rhodes scholar flash "Whizzer"
White - but Bill drawls, 1--WE
jes been lucky"
The 2O-year- old back, draft
ed from the University of Vir-
ginia, has played only two
games for the Pittsburgh Steel
ers, yet Walt Kiesling, veteran
coach, comments:
"He's the best back we've
ever had"
And Co Owner Art Rooney
smiles:
looks better to me than
'Whizzer' White, the r h d S
scholar who formerly played
with the Steelers."
The Whizzer led the National
League in total ground gained
in his first year. But, on the
basis of Dudley's two-game rec
ord. some experts expect his
performance to be eclipsed.
Dudley scampered "A yards
for a touchdown against h C
Philadelphia Eagles in his first
pro game - and passed Is yards
for another. A week later, after
being knocked out in the first
quarter, he ran back a kickoff
81 yards for touchdown
against the Washington Red
skins, and set up another touch
down with an 11-yard pass and
23-yard run.
The perennially last place
Steelers lost both games, as usu-
al, but might have won against
the Redskins with better breaks.
Dudley, who appears embar-
rassed when he talks about his
gridiron feats, comments about
the pro game:
1.-THE men are bigger, more
polished, I've found. You can't
rush them like we did in col
lege. But the holes are still
there. You jes' have to catch the
defense off guard. I've been
lucky SO far to find the holes.
Jes' lucky"
