Attaining the heights that no
other Central Michigan football
player has ever been able to gain,
Warren Schmakel, Toledo senior
guard and co-captain of the undefeated Chippewas this season, has
been announced today as having
made the Associated Press Little
All-America first team. Harry
Kaczynski, Central Michigan
junior fullback, received honorable :
mention on the same team.
The only other Michigan player
to receive honors was Murray Hannah, an end from Alma College
who placed on the third eleven.
Only once previously has Schmakel and Kaczynski's . achievement
been approached at Central Michigan, that in 1939 when Leo Wisneski and Ken Loop were accorded
honors as. a halfback on the second team and honorable mention
at guard, respectively. Leo Wisneski is at present coaching at Mt.
Pleasant High School and Loop is
the line coach at Saginaw Arthur
Hill.
Schmakel, in captaining the 1942
edition of the Chippewas to their
first perfect season in the history
of the school, was well-deserving
of the honor. Consistently, the
former Toledo Libbey High School
star led the interference on running plays, and 'his speed always
made him the first to get under
the hard, driving punts of Kaczynski. He was equally effective on defense having had less ground gained
through his right guard position
than anywhere else in a line that
yielded but one touchdown in six
games.

Placement Director Outlines Plan
to Alleviate State Teacher Shortage
A four-way program designed to
alleviate the Michigan teacher shortage has been outlined by P. G.
Lantz, Director of Placement at
Central Michigan College.
Lantz Suggests
Mr. Lantz suggests that teachers
who with a little training would be
qualified to teach in fields where
the shortage is most severe, and
are not teaching in these fields
should transfer for the duration.
Teaching fields where the demand
is greatest are^ rural education,
agriculture, biology, commerce,
mathematics, shop, physics and
chemistry, instrumental music, and
physical education.
Four Ways
The four ways suggested by Mr.
Lantz in which this training can be
secured are: (1) correspondence
courses, (2) Saturday campus residence courses, (3) off campus extension courses, and (4) summer
school courses.
While men qualified to teach in
these fields will graduate in 1943,
very few of them will teach as most
of them will go into the armed
services.
"Although It may be necessary to
pay the teachers more to make the
change, it will be better than going
without teachers trained in these
courses," said Mr, Lantz.
Gas Rationing
Gasoline rationing will not interfere with the training of these people as teachers taking regularly organized courses either on or off
campus' are entitled to a "B" rating
under the ration program. Such
courses are classified as part of
occupational necessity.
