NEARING END OF PREP GRID CAREER: Fiery Mike Rodriguez, sparkplug of Ann Arbor High's speedy backfield, will play his final scholastic football game at Jackson Friday night. Although he missed two games and parts of others because of an early-season injury, Rodriguez is third among Pioneer point-producers with five touchdowns, just one less than Bob Randall and Prenty Ware each has made.

WILL HE RAMBLE TONIGHT? Speedy Prenty Ware, Ann Arbor High's fast-moving left halfback, might gain opportunity to dazzle tonight when the Pioneers will open defense of their Five-A League crown by playing host to Lansing Sexton on Wines Field. Ware, a junior, can really move in an open field.

UNSUNG HEROES AS PIONEERS ROLL ALONG: Always in football the backs get the publicity and the linemen and defense specialists are often largely ignored. Here's a trio of unpublicized Ann Arbor High gridders who have had much to do with the Pioneers' success in football. From left to right are Center Al Jesperson, Tackle Chandler Hadley, and Center Doug Nordman. All specialize on defense.

CAN'T WAIT TO GET AT 'EM: Rough and ready Bob Weber, Ann Arbor High's hard-charging defensive guard whose dad, loquacious Wally Weber, earned football fame as a Michigan fullback great prior to acceptance of the Wolverine coaching duties he now performs, had a quick answer when his father asked him why he didn't go out for the more glamorous backfield positions instead of the line. "I'd rather be up front where I can get at 'em quicker," young Weber told his father. He'll be getting at 'em quickly again Friday night when Ann Arbor High plays Ferndale Lincoln at Ferndale.

WHO'LL GET STARTING NOD FOR PIONEERS FRIDAY NIGHT? From this quartet of signal-callers, Coach Hank Fonde will pick his starting quarterback for Friday night's local football opener with Toledo Scott. From left to right are Don O'Hara, Kent Pickard, Harold Shilling and Bud Parks. At present, Parks, a letterman, seems to have a slight edge.

PREPARATION PAYS OFF ON THIS MANEUVER: A careful workman is Ray Karsian, Ann Arbor High's conversion point artist, who, as indicated here, uses a tape to make sure his stride and distance will be correct. The result have been important, too. In six games, Karsian has been asked to kick conversion points after 20 of the Pioneers' 21 touchdowns. He's been right on the beam 17 times, nine of them in a row, and has missed but two while having one blocked. He didn't take the shot at the other possible point because a Pioneer penalty had made it a 35-yard kick and the longer-booting Bob Randall was asked to try. Karsian's most important conversion of the season came after the Pioneers' third touchdown against Bay City Handy. It had to be good to avoid defeat. Despite a poor center pass Karsian booted the ball clear out of the field, nearly taking Holder Mike Rodriguez' hand with it because the latter was so hurried he hardly had time to set the ball down. Shown holding the ball for Karsian here is Prenty Ware who shares the chore with Rodriguez.

STARTS PIONEERS ALONG 1950 VICTORY PATH: Fullback Bob Randall, coming back strong this year after missing most of the 1949 season with an injured leg, counted Ann Arbor High's first touchdown in quick fashion as the Pioneers opened by beating Toledo Scott last night. Randall wheeled 20 yards up the middle into pay dirt before the game was a minute old.
