FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE' FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Tim erlake Heads 11' Backfield TO MEET IN FINALS: Wings, Leafs Take.Playoffs (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last article in a series analyzing the 1964 Michigan football team,f position by position.)f By CHUCK VETZNER i The 1964 football season might seem a long way off, but it doesn't take too much imaginationI to picture Bob Timberlake barking out signals with Mel Anthony crouching behind him, flanked byt two halfbacks.1 That's the way Michigan's back- field seems to be shaping up- Timberlake and Anthony as prob- able starters, and two undeter-j mined halfbacks. Head Coach Bump Elliott sounds cautious when he says "Anthony; and Timberlake have good chances of starting." But that statement1 seems outspoken when he adds, "It's too early to tell who will be starting at halfbacks." Actually Elliott's noncommittal attitude is understandable even though both. starting halfbacks from last season, Dick Rindfuss and Jack Clancy, are returning. Rindfuss is not out for spring practice due to an off-season an- kle injury. Three other halfbacks, Dick Wells, John Rowser, and Dor- ie Reid, will also miss spring ball due to their participation on the track team. Sygar Out, Too Rick Sygar, who last fall had been a leading candidate for a first-string berth until he broke his leg, joined the ranks of miss- ing halfbacks by suffering the same injury a few weeks ago. Offensive backfield coach Hank Fonde is optimistic about Sygar's chances of returning to last spring's form. But Fonde is not so cheerful on his halfback evalu- ations this spring with five of his charges absent. As of now the first-string half- backs are Clancy and Bob Quist. The situation is further compli- cated by a couple of freshman backs whom Fonde and Elliott say they won't overlook in the great halfback hunt. Two Ohioans, Carl -Ward and Jim Detwiler, are playing third string right now and the coaching staff has expressed its praise for both boys. Speedy Ward Fonde says that Ward is a hard hitter and Elliott adds that he is one of the fastest backs on the team, a reported :09.7 100-yard dashman. On Detwiler; Fonde comments. "He's more of a power halfback although he can also run very well." The main factor working against these freshman scatbacks was pointed out by defensive backfield By The Associated Press CHICAGO - Detroit's underdog Red Wings took a two-goal lead in the first five minutes and went on to defeat the- Chicago Black Hawks 4-2 last night in the sev- enth and final game of their semifinal Stanley Cup series. Detroit broke in front on its first shot at 1:55 when Floyd Smith banged one through a clut- ter of players and past Glenn Hall. The Red Wings made it 2-0 at 5:06 when Gordie Howe, the old smoothie, watched three Hawks Drill Team Vies in Meet The University of Michigan's Pershing Rifles (3-D) Drill Team will defend its national title to- day at the Cherry Blossom Festi- val meet held annually in Wash- ington, D.C. One of the few tri-service drill teams in the nation, the P.R.'s have been state champions for the past four years. The national meet at Washing- ton matches the best 50 teams in the nation in open competition. Michigan's 24-man squad, defend- ing champions this year, has plac- ed among the top ten for the past four years. The team has gained nationwide recognition because it is the only group which uses a completely sil- ent six minute sequence in com- petition. This sequence consists of approximately 900 counts without verbal instruction of any kind. battle for the puck behind their own net, grabbed the loose puck and hooked it into the net. Chicago, outplayed badly in the first 20 minutes, scored its first goal at 11:09 with Red Hay smashing an unassisted goal be- tween Terry Sawchuk's legs. But, Detroit roared right back' and 23 seconds later boosted its lead to 3-1 with Alex Delvecchio slamming home a goal.. The action-paced second period saw Reggie Fleming knock Saw- chuk to the ice as the Detroit' goalie went behind his net to clear a loose puck. Fleming drew a charging penalty and three sec- onds later he returned to the ice., Bobby Hull powered a short shot past Sawchuk in the process of killing the penalty to cut Detroit's lead to one goal. Although the Hawks had to ride off penalties in the last five min- utes, playing two of the minutes at a two-man disadvantage, the. Red Wings were unable to pad their lead. Sawchuk, meanwhile, did not come out for the final period mak- ing it the third time he was re- placed during a game in the se- ries because of injuries. He was replaced by Roger Crozier. Leafs Win MONTREAL - Toronto's Dave Keon scored three goals as the de- fending Stanley Cup champions whipped Montreal 3-1 last night in the seventh and deciding game of their National Hockey League semifinal playoff series. The Leafs, who finished only third in the regular season, relied on an opportunistic offense in fin- ally winning the all-Canadian bat- tle from Montreal's regular season champions.

Timberlake emerged to- ward the end of last season as the Wolverines' top quarter- back with his running power and passing skill.

Why They're Shoo-ins The importance of experience helps explain why returning start- ers Timberlake and Anthony would appear to be shoo-ins to repeat those roles next fall. The two are on Blue (first) team this spring and there are very few battle- wise performers backing them up. Behind Timberlake at quarter- back are sophomore Pete Hollis, who failed to get into a game last year, and freshmen Dick Vidmer and Rick Volk. The only other ex- perienced men, Don Chandler and Frosty Evashevski, will be gradu- ating. Chuck Dehlin, who operated as second-string fullback last year, will be playing primarily on de- fense this year, according to El- liott. This switch is due to the new rule allowing much more substitu- tion. This leaves the rest of the of- fensive chores to Gary Shick, who only played in one game last year. Elliott also has hopes that fresh- men Dave Fisher and Bob Mielke will make the grade. DISCOUNT RECORDS, Inc. ti ;:iii ii:4 . : ll'?}.4 :4.i: }
