For the time being. both men.

liable to take away from their
playing positions.
In the case of Richards. whose
age precludes him from too much
work behind the mask. the catcher
would be used part time in the
third base coaching job, the post
which Vincent held down.

By EDGAR HAYES

ANN ARBOR. Nov, 15-The
oft-repeated contention that Mich
igan is primarily a power team
is amply borne out in the stats
tics for the first eight games.
The Wolverines have won seven
of the eight, losing only to Indi-
ana. If they can win their next
two, they will earn their first I'M
dispute Western Conference
championship since 1888, although
they did Tie with Purdue last fall.
Michigan has outgained almost
every opponent this fall, but most
Of the progress has been made
butting heads on the ground. In
eight games Michigan has thrown
"a passes, less than half as many
as its opponents.
Nineteen OF these have been
completed and u intercepted,
That is an average OF just over
six passes a game while the ma
tional average is believed TO be
around Is.
BELOW LAST YEAR
This mark Is well under the
average maintained last year when
Sc out of "a passes were COM
pleted in nine games. Michigan
has turned in IL interruptions, far
below last years mark of %.
The eight foes on Michigan's
schedule this year have thrown

Against Pennsylvania, Michigan

Michigan has been blessed with

Crisler may be saving his aerial

He had planned a lot of overhead
play against Minnesota, but the
game didn't work out that way.
Crisler is drilling his team

Wisconsin game. How will the
Badgers react to the death of

They may 60 all out 10 win in

gram OF condolences was sent TO

Michigan faces much the same
problems in the Wisconsin game
as il did in the Indiana battle. The
Wolverines have every right to
