Johnson Boosts
M' Pass Offense
By DAVE LYON
Starting right end Walt John-
son, one of Michigan's most de-}
pendable but least-heralded foot-}
bal players, continues to play his
share in making the Wolverine!
passing attack more potent with
each game.
With Darrell Harper proving
against Minnesota last Saturday'
that he can pass well, Michigan
now has three men-Harper, and
quarterbacks Bob Ptacek and Stan
Noskin-who can throw the ball.
Most of these passes have pre-
viously been directed at left end
Gary Prahst, but now Michigan
passers have other targets at
which to aim. Ptacek has provedl
himself a capable receiver when
the team has operated from the
single wing.
Utilizing Potential
Wolverine quarterbacks are now
taking fuller advantage of the
pass-receiving potential of John-
son, a senior from Dearborn, who
is not to be confused with Michi-
gan left end Bob Johnson.
Harper connected with Walt
Johnson on a 56-yard pass play in
the first half of the Minnesota
game to set up the touchdown that
gave the Wolverines a 13-7 half-
time lead.
Head Football Coach Bennie
Oosterbaan describes Johnson as
"one of our most persevering,
hard-working players." He made
a "fine run" on the long pass play
Saturday, and he is a "rugged"
defensive player, according to the
coach.

NEW YORK -- Fleming Mack-
ell's goal with only nine seconds
left gave the Boston Bruins a 2-2
tie with the New York Rangers in
a National Hockey League game
last night.
Mackell's tally, his first of the
season, disappointed a crowd of

three swipes at the disc before1
finally caging it behind goalie
Gump Worsley.;
The Rangers, seeking to move1
Into sole possession of secondi
place, held the upper hand during1
most of the action. Camille Hen-

second period shot New York into
a 2-1 lead.

is developing a more versatile
passing game, for that may be
the Wolverines' hope against Iowa
Saturday.
In practice yesterday Michigan's
first three teams drilled against
reserves using Iowa plays. Passf
defense was emphasized, since
Iowa boasts a quarterback, Randy
Duncan whose exploits are well
known.
Defense against Hawkeye rush-
ing plays was not neglected, for
Iowa has a halfback named Ray
Jauch, who in three Conference
contests has gained 226 yards on'
29 running plays for a neat 7.8-1
yard average.

Three persons who have been
instrumental in giving Iowa a 3-0
Big Ten grid record are among the
Conference leaders in various of-
fensive departments.
Quarterback Randy Duncan,
who completed 14 of 18 passes last
Saturday, leads his Big Ten con-
temporaries in number of pass
completions, percentage of at-
tempts completed, total yards
gained by passing, and number of
touchdown throws.
He has attempted 49 passes,
completed 29 of them for a .592
average and a total of 413 yards,
with four tosses worth six points
each.
Dick Thornton of Northwestern
ranks a distant second behind
Duncan in each department.
Duncan's favorite receiver has
been end Curt Merz, who has
gathered in nine of the qaurter-
back's throws for 130 yards and
two touchdowns. Rich Kreitling of
Illinois has also caught nine
passes, but for a 286-yd. total, in-
cluding two TDs.
But Iowa's offense does not de-
pend entirely on Duncan's arm.
Hawkeye halfback Ray Jauch has
responded to 29 chances to carry
the ball with 262 net yards.
His average of 7.8 yards is best
in the Conference, although he is
closely followed by Michigan's
Darrell Harper, who has compiled
a 6.7-yard averase on 167 yards
in 25 carries.

Why Socialism is Needed for Survival I
PUBLIC LECTURE
PRACTICE DAILY AT FIELD HOUSE:
Cagers Prepare for Opening of Season
f f
By TOM WITECKI
Not far from where head foot-
ball coach Bennie Oosterbaan and
Co. are preparing for this week's
game, another Michigan varsity
team is also practicing for a game,
one which will not be played for
another month and a half.
This squad is the 1958-59 Mich-
igan basketball team, which is.
making ready for another season
which will start with a home
game against Pittsburgh on De-
cember 1.
An important task in these ear-
ly practices is to see how last
year's freshmen, now sophomores,
will help the varsity squad.
One Starter
While the new crop of sopho-
mores does not contain the "big"
man Coach Perigo has been look-
CAFE
CURTAINS
complete with VALANCE
ing for during the past several
years to fill the all-important
pivot position, it does contain at
least one sophomore who will be
good enough to make the starting
five.
That sophomore is 6'3" John
Tidwell, whose sharp shooting and
overall play has labeled him first-
string material. Tidwell hails from
Herrin, Ill., where he earned all-
state honors in leading his high
school team to the state cham-
pionship.
Commenting on Tidwell, Perigo
said, "He has developed very well
and with his great shot-making
ability he should break into the
starting lineup."
No Center
Perigo's main problem as in past
years is who will play center. Last
year Pete Tillotson transferred
from forward to fill the gap and
did a good Job, ending up as the
team's top scorer. With Tillotson's
graduation the hunt has begun
anew.
A possibility is that sophomore
John Parker will play the posi-
tion some of the time. Although
only 6'3" tall, Parker has looked
impressive in, the offensive pivot
position. If Parker can handle the
job on offense, Michigan's out-
standing forward and top defen-
sive player, 6'4" M. C. Burton can
be used to handle the defensive
pivot duties.
Perigo is still hoping for the
day that Michigan will get a big
man of the Archie Dees or Joe
Ruklick type to take over the
center position, but that day will
not be this winter.
Hockey Notice
Sophomores who have after-
noons free from 4 p.m. once or
twice a week, and who would
like to be hockey managers,
are asked to call Chuck Green-
ing at NO 3-7029.
