To Mjchigan's Coach Bernie
Oosterbaan goes the top trib-
ute of the week for the inspir-
ing job he did in guiding a
crippled Michigan to a decisive
victory over heavily favored
Minnesota. Paying little regard
to their underdog role and to
the fact that many reporters
had tabled them as being
washed up, the Wolverines
demonstrated from the kickoff
that they still are one of Amer
ica's best teams, especially
when the odds are against

Pushing Coach Oosterbaan
for honors is Indiana's Clyde

Hard, Rough Football.
The No. 2 class probably casts
the aspersion of dirty play. There
is little doubt that Notre Dame,
highly polished in crisp tackling.
blocking and other fundamentals,
plays hard, driving football. It's
a fine line Of demarcation that
separates this from undue rough
ness and whether that line is
crossed so as to constitute dirty
play is a matter Of speculation in
some quarters.
Those teams that demur in
scheduling Notre Dame undoubt-
edly think more Of winning a
conference championship than
trying to beat the Irish. They
know it is virtually impossible to
do both.
But four conference champions
thought otherwise this season.
Notre Dame came up with its best
schedule in years, including such
title contenders as Tulane Of the
Southeastern Conference, North

America honors as they appear
to date. Naturally, late season
spurts will cause other men to
be considered, but at this time
the leading men in the backf1eld
are such men as the perennial
contenders, Doak Walker and
North Cardinals Charlie Justice.
Our scouts inform us that both
of these backs are capable of
living up to all of their press
clippings. Notre Danes sched-
ule will permit us to get better
look at both men before the
season is over.
To this distinguished COM
pany I should like to add the
name of a had I know for ab-
solute certainty belongs in the

all-Anerica team. He is Emil
six Yard" Sitko. Saying that
Emil has averaged over six
yards per try for four years
while carrying the ball over one
mile for Notre Dame should
suffice.
Other Sparkling Candidates.
Other outstanding backfield
candidates are such men as
Arnold Galiffa of Army, Lynn
Chandnois of Michigan State,
Chuck Ortmann of Michigan,
Billy Bye of Minnesota and
Eddie LIE Baron of College of
the Pacific Always underrated
are the men who play mostly
defense, and Michigan's Dick
Kempthorn is one of the best
in this phase of football.
Picking all-America linemen
is difficult, because many of the
best men go about their busi-
ness in a manner that is not
likely to catch the eye of the
pressmen. However, when it
comes to selecting end candi-
dates, the names Of Art Weine'
of North Carolina. Leon Hart
of Notre Dame, Dan Foldberg
of Army and Bob Wilson of
Wisconsin will be in the fore
most group.
Tackle candidates are led by
two Big Ten giants, AL Wistert
Of Michigan and Leo Nomellini
of Minnesota. Following close
ly are Ray Krouse of Maryland.
Bob Gain of Kentucky, Ernie
Stautner of Boston College and
Co-Captain Jim Martin of
Notre Dame. Leading the guard
contenders are Rod Franz of
California and Ed Bagdon of
Michigan State, with Penn's
Bernie Lemonick and Pitts
burgh's Nick Bolkovac in the
running.
Minnesota's Clayton Tonne,
maker is leading the centers by
a comfortable margin, with
Missouri's Bob Fuchs next in
line.
Undoubtedly by seasons end
some OF the mentioned men
will have fallen by the way

but there aren't many coaches
in America who would not set

coaches, should Welchel resign,
Marshall said:

Too many teams have dropped
Leahy of their schedules and we
are afraid that if we signed Leahy
no one would play us.

tinued Marshall. ANY talk of my

Il definitely am not satisfied

II would like to emphasize that

years and before this we have had
only one bad season-in 1947. I
do not concede that this will be a
bad season, although I admit it is
possible. I have great hopes that
the team will snap out Of it.
II never have had any argu-
ments with De Orsey about busi-
ness or finance. We have argued
about gin rummy. canasta, poll
tics and many other things, but
never business or finance"
Later at Griffith Stadium, to
which Marshall repaired for a
confab with Whelchel, the club
prexy told the assembled Redskin
players he had every confidence in
their ability and asserted:
you've got the stuff to win
every one of our remaining seven
games, and I wouldn't be too sur
prised to see you do it."
Whelchel said he had been told
of no change when he reported to
Griffith Stadium this morning.
The Redskins play the New York
Bulldogs at New York Sunday.
De Orsey earlier had indicated
a decision to replace Whelchel was
reached last week at a conference
between himself and Marshall. but
was tabled pending the outcome
of last Sundays game with the
Eagles at Philadelphia. Marshall
denied this. The Redskins smash
ing 1914 defeat was Washing
tons third loss in five league
games.

Whelchel was out, limited that Line
Coach Herman Ball and Backfeld
Coach Wilbur Moore might be
designated co-coaches for the re-
mainder of the season. The Tribe
has seven games to play.
De Orsey said he had considered
the matter purely from business
viewpoint and was aroused by the
decline in attendance at Redskin
games. This he blamed on the
teams poor performance.
I'VE want the fans to know that
both MI. Marshall and myself are

to do something about it." he
said.
