THE MICHIGAN DAILY TEN SHOWDOWN: Backs Hold Keys for Iowa, Ohio State Series EVe;Winds U (Continued from Page 1) By DAVE ANDREWS freely three weeks into the all season, all eyes are al- turned toward Iowa City hat looms as the biggest of big" games, the November 12 between Iowa's Hawkeyes Ohio State., niked among the mediocre in eason polls, both .squads shown that they were fig- wrong. The Hawkeyes have I past Oregon State, North- rn, and Michigan State, and Bucks have handled SMU, kern California and Illinois on three successive Saturdays without even working up a sweat. Looking up at these masterful performances, their gridiron tra- dition, and their present person- nel, both teams have the poten- tial (if anyone has) to go through the rugged Big Ten schedule un- beaten. Fast Backfield Iowa boasts one of the fastest backfields in football history, led by Captain Jerry Mauren, with support from their "flying fire- plug" Joe Williams, and speedster Larry Ferguson. In the three Ann ouncing': PETITIONING FOR games thus far, they have scored on long runs five times, includ- ing Ferguson's 85 yard sprint against Oregon State, and Wil- liams' 67 - yard game - winning romp with a fumble last week at Michigan State. However the Buckeyes, while lacking the overall speed of the Hawks, have a deep, experienc- ed set of backs built around line- busting Bob Ferguson, In the line there is little to choose from between the two teams as both possess the big, fast pow- erful forwards so necessary in Big Ten play. Difference at Quarterback The difference, if any, outside of Iowa's superior speed, may lie at quarterback. There Ohio boasts their best running field general since Les Horvath (1944) in senior Tom Matte. However, Coach Forest Evashev- ski also has a running quarter- back in junior Wil Hollis, with the difference between the two lying in the fact that Hollis is a proven passer. This colud mean that Ohio will have to turn more and more to their "four yards and a cloud of dust" offense as the season pro- gresses. Use Long Gainer In the first three games Ohio has won with the long gainer, but if the word leaks out that Matte isn't as capable a passer as Coach Woodie Hayes insists he is, defensive alignments may change, and the going may get a little tougher. It was just two years ago that the Buckeyes ground the Hawks into submission, 38-28, and the year before that it was 17-13. Iowa gained some revenge last year with a 16-7 whipping admin- istered to Ohio at Columbus, but. e.ATP Op. Daily 11 A.M..P.M. OnU..3 8uh fakr~. SGC CANDIDACY the memory of those two hard fought losses still remain in Eva- shevski's mind. Undoubtedly, he would like nothing better than to beat Ohio State and clinch the Big Ten title (if it stacks up that way) in his last season as head coach. In his seven previous tries, the Hawkeyes have won three times, and trail in the all-time series with Ohio, 12 games to eight, with two ending in ties. Iowa, OSU Top Offense By The Associated Press In team statistics, undefeated Iowa and Ohio State areoff run- ning and passing to the Big Ten titles in those departments. Iowa has averaged 312.5 yards and 34.5 points in two Conference games. The Buckeyes, having played one League game, have a stepping stone of 363 yards gained and 34 points. The latter is also second defensively, having yielded only 233 yards to Illinois and 13 first downs. Minnesota is first on defense, after blanking Northwestern, and holding them to 225 total yards. Michigan has had the most plays per game, 71, in one contest, but Ohio State leads in average yard a play with 6.37. In his first Big Ten football game, stellar sophomore quarter- back Ron Miller of Wisconsin grabbed the lead in conference total offense and in passing. As the Badgers spilled Purdue, 24-13, last Saturday, the aroit Miller completed 12 of 23 passes for 203 yards. He also carried the ball 9 times for 39 yards, giving him a pacesetting total of 242 yards. Official conference statistics to- day also credited another quar- terback, Wilburn Hollis of Iowa's tricky Hawkeyes, with the lead in the rushing department. Hollis, in two conference games, has carried 27 times for 150 yards. The best rushing average belongs to still a third Big Ten quarterback, Ohio State's Tom Matte with 129 yards in 13 rushes for a 9.9 mark in the Buckeyes' 34-7 win over Illinois. In scoring, Hollis and Carl Charon, Michigan State fullback, share the lead with 18 points each. Wisconsin's great sophomore end, Hugh Richter, leads in receptions, snagging 7 Miller tosses Saturday. Purdue's Bernie Allen, also a quarterback, has the best punting average. 42.3. NOT TRACK, BUT FOOTBALL -- Glenn Davis, former Ohio State track star and twice an Olympic Medal Winner, is now playing football for the Detroit Lions. Davis is an end and was recommended by Lion halfback and former Ohio Stater, Hlopalong Cassidy. Lions Count on Glenn Davis' Track Speed As Breakaway Threat at Receiving Post cond inning - the only run Ford really needed, and a run Whitey batted in himself - the Yankees took off in the third. A hit batter, Roger Mars' double, a two-run single by Mickey Mantle and a single by Yogi Berra sent Friend to his second defeat. Then , Bill Skowron tagged a sacrifice fly against reliever Tom: Cheney before Richardson made it another rout. RBI Record The baby bomber, a 5'9" second baseman who drove in 26 runs all season, cracked a two-run triple off the left f ield scoreboard for the RBI record, later pushed to 12 when he tripled for another run in the seventh. The old Series high of 10 was set, by Berra is seven games in 1956 and matched by Ted Kluszewski of the Chicago White Sox in last year's six-game series with Los Angeles. Richardson also tied a record with two triples - two of three swatted by the Yankees, who also hit four doubles. Somehow they overlooked a home run for the. first time in this set. Johnny Blanchard, who admits he "was resigned to being a bull- pen catcher," rapped two of the doubles off the right field screen after replacing Howard behind the plate. Blanchard's second shot drove in the final Yankee run, off Clem Labine in the eighth inning, and pushed the AL champs' scor- ing total to 46 runs in the six games. It also was the Yankees' 78th hit so far. Both totals are all-time records - making this the most lopsided deadlock ever. "It's Vernon Law to start to- day," said Manager Danny Mur- taugh, "and if I need another pitcher early, it's anybody-in eluding Elroy Face. "We've got to stay close. The ball games we've been in, we've won." That's the way the Pittsburgh Pirates go into the payoff seventh game of the World Series today against the New York Yankees, after the American League champs once more cut loose and walloped the Bucs 12-0 yesterday, squaring the best-of-seven set, leaving to- day's contest as the one 'for all the chips. Petition and Information Available at 3011 S.A.B. or Main Floor Student Offices By FRED STEINHARDT . The newest member of the De- troit Lions has not played com- petitive football since high school, six long years ago. His build is not a good one for the bruising professional game. Yet, Coach George Wilson and his staff have made a place for him on the active roster instead of a more experienced hand. The value of Glenn Davis as a professional football player is twofold. He can 'run fast and he can catch. He is a potential game- breaker. Trackman Cassidy. He was a unanimous All- American selection and he had a big hand in two key victories over Michigan in 1954 and 1955. He also was a key figure in the Lions' championship drive in 1957.) Davis, who was an All-Ohio se- lection in his high school days at Barberton, Ohio, never played the sport at Columbus because it might have imperiled his track future. But he did participate in informal games on campus and Cassidy saw enough to think that Davis might be of use as a receiv- er. In his first workouts with De- miliarizing himself with the teams' pass patterns. "I still haven't been hit hard for the first time. When I am it should answer a lot of questions." Why Football? Exactly why did Davis, who had a teaching position waiting for him in Ohio, turn to football? Probably for the same reason that he came back for this year's Olym- pics after winning in Melbourne, in 1956. "It is simply a challenge," he said. "If I. didn't play, I would always wonder if I would have been good enough. Now, I'll know." Ironically enough, San Francia- co has a very similar player. He is Ray Norton, the Olympic sprint- er who had such a tough time of it in Rome. But Norton is bigger than Davis, being an inch taller and ten pounds heavier. 'Ihese two men are an example of the ingenuity and imagination of NFL teams. Either or both may or may not make good in the field. It will be interesting to see how they play as the year progresses.
