Scanned from Box 1 of the Frederica Pantlind Papers at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library KIPKE TO TEST JOHNSON, FORD Two Local Men on "Blue" Squad for Final Spring Grid Game. CAPPON SELECTS SEARS Ann Arbor, May 4.-More than 150 state scholastic football coaches and more than 2,000 state scho- lastie football players are go- ing to get the low down on the Michigan grid system here Sat- urday. Coach Harry Kipke has in- vited all of the state coaches and players to a demonstration which will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at Ferry field and Ford. for the regula- tion football game which will wind up spring practice in the stadium at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Kipke is going to lay his cards on the table and show his visitors how Michigan wins so many football games. IIc will even demonstrate a few new plays which Michigan has not used in the past but which will be used next fall. The demonstration will consist of the individual work at each posi- tion, the way to block for punts, four ways to block the opposition punts, blocking for passes, the technique of punting and passing, the method of the Michigan de- fense and the new plays. Jack Blott will give. a short talk on the duties of the center, Cliff Keen on the guards, Franklin Cap- pon on the tackles, Benny Ooster- baan on end play, Weber and Kipke for the backfield. The regulation game in the sta- dium will find most of the regulars as members of Kipke's Blue team with most of the promising new men as members of Cappon's Yel- low team. Sweet at Fullback. For the Blues, Ford will start at center, Borgmann and Beard at the guards, Hildebrand and Austin at the tackles, Patinelli and Johnson at the ends, James at quarterback, Aug and Triplehorn at the halves and Sweet at fullback. Cappon's team will include Fuog at center. Sears and Hanshue at the guards, Wright and McGuire at *ackles. Castle and Rieck at is with Fillinger at quarter, Barnett at the halves ORIGINAL RETIRED FOR PRESERVATION Kipke Counts Heavily Upon Ford As M Cei nter This Fall Michigan Coach Expects Grand Rapids Boy to Be Capable Successor to Bernard; Rates the Gophers Best n Conference By HEINIE MARTIN Michigan will have another good football team next fall, but don't count too strongly upon another conference championship. That's the good word of Coach Harry Kipke, who was the feat- ured speaker at the Michigan alum- ni banquet at Park Congregational church last night. "Minnesota will have the strong- est team in the Big Ten," declared the popular young Wolverine men- tor, "The Gophers will be the team to beat and I certainly don't feel too sure that we'll have a team capable of whipping them." And we ventured to say there probably would be other good teams in the conference. "Yes, several of them will be strong. I look for Chicago to be the surprise team of the confer- ence. They have some real material down there and they should go places next fall. Ohio State has some excellent material and if their coach will fit in with the scheme of things there, the Buckeyes will be plenty hard to beat. And you can look for a great improvement in that Illinois team." Likes Jerry Ford It was only natural that we men- tioned the tour Grand Rapids boys on the Michigan squad, now in spring training. Kipke, always the frank and honest speaker, delved right into their possibilities with- out mincing any words. "Grand Rapids is certain to have at least one regular on the team and you know that's Jerry Ford. He is the ideal player for any coach to work with. I'd like to have 11 boys of his type every fall and I'd never worry again. "Jerry has a marvelous compet- itive spirit. He has loads of cour< age, is always willing to work hard and never lets anything get him down. He will be my regular cen- ter. And I don't mind telling you that I look for him to play as good a game as Chuck Bernard did last year and I know that's saying some- thing. "Bernard excels Ford in only one department of play. That's in his passing. Bernard was the perfect passer. Jerry is a good passer, but not quite equal to Bernard, yet Ford has a wider playing range. He is just as good on offense and defense as Bernard and has an ex- ceptionally fine football brain. I believe Ford will be the greatest center in the conference next fall. He is now scaling 202 pounds and has shown wonderful improvement." It seemed that Kipke was truly enthused over Ford. He made certain he was impressing us with his opinion of Jerry's value. Then he talked of the other Grand Rap- ids boys. Anent Tony Dauksza "Tony Dauksza has excellent pos- sibilitles as a halfback, although right now he is on the verge of being because bistends les. Tony, however, would be a better player if he had more confi- dence in himself. He is inclined to be moody and that's something good football players shouldn't do. If Dauksza makes up his mind to work hard. he has an excellent chance of making the team. But it'll require hard work. "Ernie Johnson. a former Union boy, has been showing up well at end and no doubt he'll see plenty of action next fall, even though I have several other exceptional pros- pects for the end berths. I like this boy Sears of Grand Rapids. He has shown a fine attitude in work- outs and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get in at one of the guards, He has plenty of ability and If he keeps up his hard work, he may land a. regular job." Kipke is certain to miss some of hls 1933 stars, we avowed. "Sure I'll miss a lot of 'em, but the man I'll miss most is Ever- hardus. There was a better foot- ball player than he was credited with being. He'll be hard to re- place and I don't know where I'm going to get a. good quarterback. Whitey Wistert will be tough to replace. but I've got a. lot of good line material, whereas my back- field prospects aren't exactly New. mans or Friedmans." The Michigan couch went on to say that Hildebrand, husky lineman, had always wanted a chance at the fullback post and may get it this fall. Which would mean a shift of Johnny Regeczi to halfback. Such husky line veterans as Capt. Elect Tom Austin, Ward, Borgman, Baird, Jacobson, Viergever, Wright, Mal- ashevich and others will insure the Wolverines of a heavy, experienced aggregation.
