BY TOMMY DEVIXE Free Press Staff Writer ANN ARBOR The young man who didn't plan to be a football coach has been selected to the University of Michigan's tottering gridiron fortunes.

Chalmers (Bump) Elliott became the 12th head coach in the Wolverines' brilliant SO-year football history when he was named Friday to succeed Bennie Oosterbaan. An adverse ruling on a tricky wartime eligibility case involving Elliott and a telephone call from the player who scored the first touchdown in the giant Michigan Stadium changed the course of Bump's life. They set in motion the chain of circumstances which resulted in his elevation to the Wolverines' top spot. THE ELIGIBILITY ruling, which counted split seasons at Purdue as a Marine trainee as full seasons of competition, deprived Elliott of playing what he thought would be his senior year at Michigan in 194.8. "I had looked forward to playing that year with a great bit of anticipation," he said.

"We'd won the conference championship and the Rose Bowl the previous season. "My brother, Pete, figured to be the first-string quarterback in 1918. We always had been very close and I wanted a lot to play with him. When I was ruled out, it was one of the blackest days of my life." So, instead of playing in 1948, Bump spent his time working with the Michigan backs.

The Huskies ground out a 19-12 victory over Denby on a slippery turf at U. of D. Stadium. The nctory, eighth straight for Redford, sends it winging into next Friday's Goodfellow Game against the Catholic League champion. THIS WAS a Redford team that was called the best mechanically in the league, but it seemed to lack the drive and desire that make a champion.

Michigan is a shaky seven points favorite. The choice probably has been made on the basis of past performances in this series rather than comparative play in recent weeks.

The Huskies wasted little time demonstrating how the shock treatments given by their coaches worked. AH week the Redford coaches have been treating the players as if they had lost a West Side championship instead of won it.

The treatment worked. Getting the ball for the second time in the contest midway through the opening period, the Huskies moved to a touchdown from their 41-yard line in eight plays.
