TIE MICHIGAN DAILY + Wolverines Meet Illini Toa in Ke ridiro 100 Test 'M' Eleven Seeks Victory To Escape Worst Finish in Oosterbaan Tenure PURDUE SPOILS BOWL HOPES: . Crippled Illinois Fights for First Division Finish (Continued from Page 1) But pride alone is enough to make a Michigan-Illinois game a real tough affair. Riding the crest of the longest continuous home-and-home series in the Big Ten, it is hard to re- member an Illini-Wolverine con- test that wasn't either surprising or exciting, if not both. This year there will be no sur- prise, since the teams are ranked about even, and an upset is ruled' out. However, the excitement should be present this afternoon. Oosterbaan stated yesterday that his squad is in good shape.; "Walt Johnson was the only play- er injured last Saturday," the 'M' mentor said, "and he will. be ableI to start. George Genyk and Don Deskins are nursing slight ail- ments, but will be in there battling as usual. "We know that we will be in for a tough contest," Oosterbaan continued. "Illinois has beaten Michigan State handily, and they put up a tough battle against Ohio State. They have a fine line, and Ray Eliot always comes up with a fine backfield." Backfield Troubles However, this year's Illini edi- tion apparently does have back- field problems. A series of in- juries - finally attacking a Mich- igan opponent instead of the 'M' men themselves - has cut down the first three Illinois right half- backs, and the starting quarter- back, Bob Hickey. L. T. Bonner, the regular at the Illini right half post, his under- study Dave McDade, and Hickey weren't able to make the trip to Ann Arbor. Eliot, the perennially pessimis- tic Illinois coach, is starting De- justice Coleman at right halfback and John Easterbrook at quarter- back. As before every game every year, Eliot claims that he hasn't got a chance. Other Starters The other Illini backfield start- ers will be Marshall Starks, a' sophomore sensation, at left half and fullbackeBill Brown, who has proved to be a leading ground- gainer for the Champaign team. It is interesting to note that every year some new Illinois back hits the headlines against Mich- igan. Such sensational players as Buddy Young, J. C. Caroline, Abe Woodson, Harry Jefferson, Bobby Mitchell, and last year Bonner, have made their first splash against the Wolverines. Another Star? Who will it be today? Maybe no one, but the fact that Michi- gan is weak defensively and the backfield is slow points to the chance for another speedy Illini to hit stardom. Of course, if the Illini are as weakened in the backfield as Eliot reports, then maybe it will be Michigan's day. Oosterbaan's backfield, paced by Bob Ptacek's passing and Darrell Harper's run- ning, could be dangerous if the line can match Illinois.

By MARK DURCHSLAG Illinois will be fighting for its pride and hopes of finishing in the first division as Coach Ray Eliot's crippled charges invade Ann Ar- bor today. Last week, preceding Illinois' crushing 31-8 defeat at the hands of Purdue, a slight touch of Rose Bowl fever spread through the campus and the squad itself after its three fine Big Ten showings. The Illini were edged 19-13 by Ohio State, ripped Minnesota, 20- 8, and blanked Michigan State, 16-0. The Awakening At Lafayette, however, Illinois recevied a rude awakening. The Boilermakers crippled the Illini not only in score, but physically and mentally as well. Eliot's ma- jor chore at this week's practice: To get the team pieced together and. in a mental state capable of playing good football. Line coach Bert Ingwersen, who scouted the Wolverines in their last three games, said, "They're improving every week and really went after Iowa Saturday. The Hawkeyes' backfield speed and Noskin's third quarter fumble on his own three broke Michigan's back." Many Formations Ingwersen added that Michigan had used three different attacks in their last trio of contests. "They used 14 formations against North- western, a spread and single wing against Minnesota and last week came up with a straight T and providing the latter recovers from makeshift backfield-minus pass- balanced line.

Today's Illinois game may depend on Ptacek's passing arm, and the strength of the Michigan blocking to protect him. PORT-W HYS 4 ; C v e Spirit.... Received MICHIGAN STUDENTS proved last night that they can have spirit An estimated crowd of almost 3,000 students ended up at Ferry Field, where they cheered louder than any group of 'M' students- including the crowds at games-have cheered in many years. "It was the finest turnout I have ever seen at such a function here," master of ceremonies Newt Loken stated."It was really a tremendous crowd."' The stpdents began to assemble in front of the Michigan Union, and after the football team appeared on the steps they began to move toward the athletic plant. The cheerleaders led the group, and the Marching Band formed the center of the parade down State Street. All of the groups involved lived up to expectations, and the organiza- tion of the pep rally obviously spelled the difference between the success of this attempt, and the former failure of the one before the -Michigan State game. This time there was publicity, and there was planning. The people congregated as expected, and the cheerleaders, the team and the band were there. At the field there were many speakers-Loken, NBC Tele- vision broadcaster Mel Allen, football coaches Jack Blott and Bob Hollway, captain John Herrnstein and acting co - captains Gary Prahst and Bob Ptacek. Product of Cooperation ... THE RALLY WAS obviously the product of cooperation. The cheer- leaders did a fine job, and a job they feel well payed for. "It was a great turnout," cheerleading co-captain Jim Hayslett said. "We are really pleased," stated Dick Kimball, the other co-captain of the squad, "it was a far bigger crowd than we ever expected. Really a nice turn- out." The band also did its part well. They provided the background for the march to the field, and played a medley of numbers once there. If there was ever any trace of "misguided" spirit in the group, it wasn't there last night. At this time I would like to offer my apologies to band director William D. Revelli and all of the members of the band who DIDNT take part in any M-E-R-C-Y cheers at the Northwestern game. It was not the entire group, but only certain members who participated in such a cheer, and only until Revelli was able to collar them. Dr. Revelli points out that the Michigan band has always stood behind the team and the coaches. "I feel that our group has the best spirit on campus," he said. This is a fact that is certainly hard to dispute, since no single body except the cheerleaders themselves adds more to the general campus spirit. By TOM WITECKI With a little bit of luck and a victory over cellar dwelling Min- nesota today, Iowa's unbeaten and once-tied Hawkeyes could clinch their second Big Ten title in the past three years and win a return trip to Pasadena. An added push in the right direction for the Hawkeyes would be an Ohio State victory over Purdue and a Wisconsin win over Northwestern. This combination of results Harriers Host iini Tbeam Michigan's cross - country team hosts Illinois in a dual meet at 10:30 a.m. today on the University Golf Course. ' Slated to run for Michigan are Dave Martin, Walt Schafer, Don Truex, Dick Schwartz, Jim Wyman, Cam Gray, and Fred Montour. Illinois is led by juniors' Jim Bowers and Harold Harris. Bowers ran 4:10 while finishing second in the Big Ten indoor mile last year, and also finished second in the Conference outdoor mile.

In the Spotlight . IT IS, THEN, OBVIOUSLY a shame that any shadow is cast upon such a group. However. the fact remains that a few members of the band did participate in a cheer that was in bad taste. It is perhaps a smaller example of the parley card scandal currently in vogue at Michigan. A small group of students, after getting caught for a small part in a gambling ring, have blackened the reputation of the institu- tion on a national level. Thus, a small group of bandsmen take part in something that hurts the entire group's reputation. It is obvious that b th of these incidents should be forgotten. Both groups, the University and the band, continue to function as highly reputible organizations. This brings up the question again of the worthwhileness of spirit.
