12th Man Bowl Teams
Stage Two-Hour Drill
By BARRY HART
Assistant Sports Editor
Brisk weather brought out some
hustling determination as the Ma
roon and White teams, opponents in
the 1955 12th Man Bowl, opened
the second week of workouts Mon
day.
THE RIVAL coaches, Larry
Winkler of the Maroon squad and
Ronald Robbins of the White, sent
their charges through a hard two-
hour practice that left the teams
moaning and panting when it came
time to hit the showers.
Both squads worked out in shorts
or sweat suits with shoes and hel
mets. Robbins ran his backs and
ends through their plays while his
line coaches, Henry Clark and Dee
Powell worked the front men on
blocking and tackling.
IN THE MAROON camp head
coach Winkler opened the session
with a chalk talk on plays. Winkler
and Gene Stallings put their line
through a long blocking drill while
Gene Henderson and Don Watson,
backfield coaches, ran the backs on
plays.
“We had some good workouts
last week,” said Winkler, “but we
don’t know enough about the boys
yet and it’s too early to begin des
ignating possible starters.”
Both coaches agreed it was too
early to name their number one
men, and that many positions would
not be decided until after the
squads go into full pads next Mon
day. The game is to be played at
3 p.m. Thursday, December 15 on
Kyle Field.
THE CONTEST, which first
originated in the early 40’s, then
died out during the war, was begun
as an annual event in 1952. Since
then it has brought more than
$4,()()() into the student «iid fund.
The game will be played under
high school rules—unlimited substi
tution with eight-minute quarters.
Tickets are on sale for 50 cents
at Student Activities and are being
handled through the unit and dorm
athletic officers and representa
tives.
Michigan State pitcher William
Mansfield is the president of the
student government organization
for 1955-56.

Avoid the rush.••call

Many of you will want to talk with far-off loved ones at
Christmas or New Year’s. But on those two days telephone
lines are always crowded. There are extra operators on duty
who have given up their Holidays to help handle the extra
demand — yet no matter how fast and expertly they work,
there’s bound to be delay on some long distance calls.
Avoid the rush: make Holiday calls before Christmas Day.
to help speed your long distance
calls, please give the operator the
out-of-town telephone number.

cepted a John Johnson pass to
cinch the ball game.

running with a 12-6 victory over
