Take Michigan for example.
From 1901 to 1905 the Wolverines
had a 55-1-1 record, and over four
of those seasons a back named
Willie Heston rolled up a total of
600 points. That's not yards, that's
points.

almost prehistoric times with to-

All these are short term theories
related to short term situations,
but if a long term theory is really
required, perhaps it is encompass-
ed in the phenomenon known as
Ivy League washout.
This affliction is brought about
by the knowledge that a school's
reputation hinges on academics
rather than athletics, a statement
usually hastened by a few judici-
ously placed losing seasons, say
about 15 in a row.

Baltimore Celebrates Sweep
By The Associated Press
BALTIMORE-Staid old Balti-

yesterday following a rousing cele-
bration in honor of the city's first
baseball World Series champion-'
ship.
The Orioles, who had a difficult'
time convincing local fans they
were even American League pen-
nant contenders, took the topl
prize by completing an amazirg,
four-game sweep over the Los An-
geles Dodgers Sunday.
Soon after center fielder Paul
Blair caught a fly ball for the last
out, the celebrating began. It last-
ed well into yesterday morning.
During the regular season, the
Orioles threatened to make a run-
away of the American League race
until injuries slowed down their

16-0 in I-M "A" football last
night. The Wipers are undefeated
and unscored upon in four games
so far this season due in part, to

by a comfortable nine-game mar-
gin.
The World Series opened with
Baltimore an 8-5 underdog and
closed with the Dodgers humil-
iated. The National Leaguers
scored only two runs on 17 hits-
both all-time Series lows-and
were shut out for a record 3. con-
secutive innings.
Dead End
Baltimore won the last two
games 1-0, with home runs deci-
ding the outcome each time.
Blair's homer won the third game
and Frank Robinson clinched the
title with a solo homer Sunday.
Robinson won the American
League Triple Crown during the
1966 season and a new ear as the
outstanding player in the World
Series. He seems a cinch to be
named the league's Most Valuable
Player.
Bauer Wins Award
Baltimore manager Hank Bauer
was named American League
Manager of the Year yesterday in
Associated Press balloting.
It marked the second time Bau-
er has, captured the , award. He
was named in 1964 When he
guided Baltimore to a third place
finish.
