Ford also: Recommended that youngsters get early organized instruction in sports and perform in regulated competition. "Pickup athletics are inadequate," he said.

He said, however, Michigan and Ohio State "could challenge Alabama manpowerwise. Both are big teams and are ball-possession teams. As long as you keep the ball, Alabama is not going to score." Ford, who played center for Michigan in the 1930s, in the amateur athletics, including the U.S.

Olympic Committee, but said: "This is another example that if a nongovernmental effort doesn't straighten out the situation, we will get federal intervention."

"Look at the Michigan was the better team in that game. Michigan won the first, third and fourth quarters and Ohio State won the second.

Look at the records, Michigan won 10 games, Ohio State won nine and each had a tie. I don't want to undercut the decision because I believe like (Ohio State Coach) Woody Hayes: once a decision is made, I will abide by it. And I certainly wish Ohio State the best in the Rose Bowl. I certainly think football game Jan. 1 instead of Michigan.
