 Yet Michigan tore into Pennsyl- vania with all the verve it dis played in beating Iowa Pre-Flight and smacking Marquette, Minne- sota, Northwestern and Purdue, with forgotten men, Ralph Chubb and Don Lund, filling in for the departed stars.
 The result was that the Fritz Crislers swung into the match with the Illinois speed merchants con- ceded a splendid chance of not only successfully hurdling that sizeable obstacle but of beating Ohio State in the grand finale to obtain a tie for the Big Nine championship.
 CHUBB, LUND MAKE GOOD
 Chubb, 8 5-foot-11, 180-pound, 18- year-old, Navy V-12 product of Ann Arbor, stickout in the smashing victory over Penn, amazed the Quakers with his speed.
 Lund, a 5-foot-11, 4-F who under studied Block Buster Bill Daley and Wiese the past two campaigns, showed definite promise of coming into his own in the last half of his final season.
 Working with quarterback Joe Ponsetto and tailback Gene Der ricotte from both the T and single wing, Chubb and Lund showed the east the most versatile and com- prehensive attack it has seen this fall. They acted as though they had been in tn ethick of things all the way along the route, and Coach Crisler's fake pass and kick forma- tions, spinners, reverses, lateralS and forwards demand superb ball. handling.
 Chubb scintillated at fullback as prep, was shifted to wingback in summer practice to bolster reserve strength. Crisler reports that 1t took the youngster some time to catch on to the tricks of his new position. Over-eagerness caused him to fun1- ble in early games. but he was ready when most needed.
 CHUBB'S DSBUT AUSPICIOUS Chubb drives as hard as he runs rapidly. Although he was starting his first college game against Penn, he carried the ball 21 times to pick up 149 yards to be the biggest gain CT of the afternoon. He ripped off several long runs, scored two touch- downs. He also kicks points follow ing touchdowns.
 Lund, a letter man in basketball and baseball, smashed 52 yards in II profitable plays to more than triplee his previous 1944 total, scored a touchdown.
 Ralph Chubb and Don Lund are additional gentle reminders that Michigan has not been caught short-handed since Fritz Crisler checked in.

the conclusion that the Navy is an all around better team than the Middies from Annapolis. The Army has piled up such tremendous scores as 78 to o, 76 to 0, and their latest triumph of 83 to O. against Villanova last weekend, but one must realize that their contenders have been just better than average teams, their only fairly decent contest being played with Duke. When one gets down to brass tacks and gives the Army a thorough going over you see such brilliant players as Glenn Da- wis, one of the best passers and back field men in the business, Doug Kenna, and Tom Lombardo only to mention a few of the mighty im- portant cogs in the onrushing Army machine. But what has the Army got as 8 defense? The answer is practically nothing. The West Point CTS have clicked this season because they have kept in high gear in every game, they rolled ahead never per- mitting their opponents to put them on the defense. The Army has no tested line, or no tested passing de- fense, they have been on the offense all season, put when the time comes that they meet the team with equal back-field power and equal pigskin singers, they will have to be on their toes, that will be the game to watch. When they meet the Fighting Irish this Saturday at Yankee Sta- dium in New York, they will meet with some tough opposition in Frank Dancewicz, back field passer, and Bob Kelly, a second Creighton Miller, this will be their real test, if they survive they should finish this season undefeated and united, Americas No. 1 College eleven"
