THE MICHIGAN DAILY I
ophomore Linemen Set
or Tough Spartan Test
C'.
By JAN WINKELMAN
With halfback Dave Raimey a
iestionable starter Saturday
gainst 'Michigan State, the line-
ay of sophomores Dave Kurtz,
el. Nolan and Tom Keating be-
omes- licreasingly important.
"Raimey's bruised hip is still
>re and will most likely limit
im to reduced action Saturday,"
oach Bump Elliott said. "If he
lays, he will certainly not be
full efficiency."
Minus Raimey, the forward wall
lust assume the increased task
manipulating the beefy Spar-
in linemen for straight line
lunges and off-tackle slants. The
ss of Rainiey's speed commits
he Wolverines to work on more
ower plays.
Kurtz, Nolan and Keating are
important because each man, in
all likelihood, will see a great deal
of action on the line when the
two undefeated Big Ten power-
houses clash in the crucial con-
test.
The necessity for sophomores in
the line arose because of injuries
to the Wolverines' starting right
guard Joe O'Donnell and his re-
placement, Lou Pavloff. Both were
injured in Michigan's opener with
UCLA. Neither is expected to play
against Michigan State and, ac-
cording to Elliott, they may not
see action a week hence when the
Purdue Boilermakers invade Mich-
igan Stadium.

Elliott was impressed with the,
play of 208-lb Kurtz from Toledo.
GRID SELECTIONS
It's already a foregone conclusion that second-ranked Michigan
phooey on AP polls) will have little trouble with traditionally weak
:ichigan State this Saturday, so all the Grid Pickers are focusing
ieir collective attention on the Daily-Union clash on Friday.
Already listed as 33-point favorites by the Tass grid selectors,
ie beefy Union team seems to be suffering from overconfidence.
Reports are that all Daily staff members are picking the.Union.)

"Kurtz is not especially fast, but
he was very adequate against
Army.." Elliott stressed the fact
that both Nolan and Kurtz stood
up well under fire. Neither was
guilty of flagrant errors Saturday.
Tackle Keating, from Chicago,
was also impressive according to
Elliott. "He is big, powerful and
learning fast."
To Rotate Lineman
Bump plans to use these three
in a more or less rotation fashion
as he did against Army. On the
strength of his strong showing
last week, Kurtz will probably
start at the right guard slot.
The line will be working this
week on containing the powerful
Spartan running attack. A real
standout performer for the "Big
Green" will be sophomore half-
back Sherman Lewis, considered
by Assistant Coach Jack Fouts,
who has 'bee4, scouting the Spar-
tans, as a top runner destined to
make many unhappy afternoons
for Michigan State's opponents in
the next three years.
Size Department
The size'of the Spartan front
line has made most passing at-
tempts unimportant. In 11 passing
attempts the Spartans have corn-
pleted only three while having
three intercepted.
The injured O'Donnell was ex-
tremely effective against the
heralded UCLAn running attack.
Kurtz, Nolan and Keating will be
targets for the hard hitting Spar-
tans in 'a game figured as toss-
up by oddsmakers.
Elliott was surprised that Mich-
igan was picked the number two
team in the country by UPI and
doesn't believe that the ;UPI has
enough basis for their selection.

Scheffing
Named Top
AL Mantager
By The Associated Press
Bob Scheffing received 105 of
174 votes cast to be named the
American League manager of the
year by sportswriters. Ralph Houk
was second with 62 votes. "I was
pretty lucky," said Scheffing,
. .. when we got away to such a
fast start, the players were in-
clined to listen to me."
Veteran center Chuck Bednar-
ik, who has been playing in com-
parative obscurity in the Phila-
delphia Eagles' offensive line, was
told yesterday to warm up at his
former linebacking position at
practice today.
Coach Nick Skorich of the Na-
tional Football League champions
hadn't planned to use Bednarik
as a linebacker but he is prompted
to take the. step by the knee in-
jury of John Nocera, coiner line-
backer.
So, as a precautionary move to
Sunday's game at St. Louis, Skor-
ich is having Bednarik and John
Tracey, a reserve offensive end,
drill in linebacking
"I think it would be better for
everyone if I left the (Philadel-
phia) Phillies," pitcher Robin
Roberts said yesterday.
Roberts was placed on the Na-
tional League draft list but neith-
er the New York Mets nor the
Houston Colts, which join the
league next season, chose Roberts
Despite his 1-0 record last sea-
son, Roberts says he still believes
he can pitch in the major leagues.
"Physically, I am better than I
have been in years, but I'm press-
ing-trying too hard. I need to
feel wanted, and I don't feel that
way here any more," he comment-
ed..
General 'Manager John Quinn
said, "A lot of times fellows say
things that sometimes it's better
to answer with 'no comment'."

Five Long Years
YALE, HARVARD AND PRINCETON have been at it longer, andt
Kentucky-Tennessee, LSU-Tulane and Michigan-Ohio State aret
custonarily played on the climactic final day of the season. Butq
the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry in its 54th renewal herex
Saturday could be the biggest and bitterest of them all.r
With both teams invariably fresh from victories over strong
intersectional foes and frequently mentioned as serious title con-
tenders, there is always a lot at stake. Visions of a high national
ranking and a Rose Bowl bid hang at the end of the rainbowt
right now, as they have almost every year at this time.
For Bump Elliott's sake, I am seriously debating whether It
should show up at Michigan Stadium Saturday. I have seen every
Michigan State game since 1956. Purely by coincidence, I hope,
Michigan's' last victory came the year before, 1955. These last
five games painfully unfold one by one in my memory as thought
they were played yesterday:
A Rainy Day ...
THE WEATHER matched the mood of the day: It rained. First
there was a flicker of doubt as the rain wiped out Michigan's
vaunted passing attack centered around the two best college ends
in captivity that year, Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz. Then there
was disbelief as the first half ended scoreless, though Michigan
dominated play as much as they did two weeks ago against UCLA.
Next came indignation 'as the Spartans turned a fumble and
an interception into their nine points. Finally there was the numbing
realization that Michigan had LOST a game in which it had clearly
outplayed the opposition.
ANN ARBOR, 1957-Michigan State 35, Michigan 6
Even the staunchest MSU-hater had no choice that day but
to sit back and watch a college team approach perfection and
obliterate a capable Michigan team.
The big and mobile Spartan lineman such as Dan Currie and
Pat Burke hit so hard you could-"hear the impact in row 90.- And
there was no stopping that attack which rolled to 486 total yards,
featuring Jim Ninowski, Walt Kowalcyzk and Sam Williams. The
most lasting impression was State's fantastic depth. Reserves like
Dean Look and Art Johnson were good enough to star for any
other team. Vic Zucco, a fourth stringer, became a starting defensive
back with the Chicago in a league in which many all-Americans can't
make the team.
And Then the Tie.. .
EAST LANSING, 1958-Michigan 12, Michigan State 12
THE CAMPUS at East Lansing was a pretty shade of green that
day but the blood flowed bright red in Macklin Stadium. This
was, easily the most brutal of the five games, played with such a
vengeance that seven Michigan players left the game for good with
injuries, including pre-season all-America pick, fullback John Herrn-
stein.
Tauntingly, Michigan almost won. Late in the game, Jerry
Marciniak fell on a blocked punt on the Spartan six when he might
have picked it up and run. A penalty and pass interception ended
that threat.
ANN ARBOR, 1959-Michigan State 34, Michigan 8
Rebuilding Michigan was not expected to put up a serious
battle with riowerful MSU. They didn't.
But the electric tension which only a Michigan-Michigan State
game can produce inspired the student body which roared in anti-
cipation at the kickoff. So did the sizeable contingent from East
Lansing, only they had something to roar about all afternoon as their
boys J(Look, Gary 'Ballman, Herb Adderley) scored a convincing
victory.
Although the scores are similar, this game was not like the
1957 game. In 1959 a strong Michigan State team performed well
to lick a barely mediocre Michigan. But in 1957 a great State team
hit a peak to demolish an otherwise strong Michigan.
EAST LANSING, 1960-Michigan State 24, Michigan 17
In no other game did Michigan seem so much to represent
ancient Athens and Michigan State ancient Sparta. And no other
game could outdo a Greek tragedy like this one did.
If football 'games took 30 minutes instead of 60, sophomore-
studded Michigan would have won on a last minute 99-yard kickoff
return by Dennis Fitzgerald. But 60 minutes is more than ample
time to wear down a lighter line ad pound home that old sports
truism: Two good big men are better than one good little man.
Michigan took what must be described as a fearful pounding
in the first half and you had to wonder how they could ever stand
off the bigger and fresher Spartans for a whole second half. You
hoped with the heart but knew better in the head. Inexorably, or
so it seemed, MSU finally pushed over the winning TD late in the
last period on a crunch-crunch drive which would have had Woody
Hayes beaming.
Heads or Tails.. .
ON PAPER this game calls for the proverbial coin flip. Michigan's
1960 sophomores are a year wiser but so are MSU's monstrous
linemen. For the first time since 1956, Michigan will not be at a
distinct disadvantage in personnel.
As Elliott is undoubtedly aware, State drove to its first two
wins almost solely on power. But he also knows that quarterback
Pete Smith is a good passer 'and has talented receivers in Art
Brandstatter, Lonnie Sanders and Matt Snorton. Don't. be sur-
prised if Daughtery has these offensyie guns open full blast on
Saturday.
But even with these weapons, State may not be able to contain
an eager Michigan team which is long overdue and is beginning to
envision itself as a team of destiny. Saturday just might be the
day Michigan fans have waited for for five long years. Any takers?
DES MOINES (R)-Coach Jerry
Burns said yesterday that the top
two backs on his Iowa football
team, halfback Larry Ferguson and
quarterback Wilburn Hollis, may
be out for the year because of
injuries.
"As of now we are progressing
with the thought that neither Fer-
guson or Hollis will play again
this year," Burns told the Des
Moines Football Writers Associa-
tion. Both were All-Big Ten selec-
tions last year.
"However, I hope of course that
both will be able to play. But our
plans now are being made with
the idea that we will have to play
without them indefinitely."
Ferguson injured a knee in
Iowa's opener against California
and did not play in the Hawkeyes'
35-34 victory over USC.
Burns disclosed that what had

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Beta The-
ta Pi, and Phi Sigma Kappa won
their third straight games in the
social fraternity "B" league last
night at Wines Field and qualified
for first place playoffs.
SAE dropped Alpha Epsilon Pi,
30-8. It was Alpha Epsilon Pi's
first defeat and put them in the
second place playoffs. Zeta Psi
defeated Alpha Sigma Phi 8-0 in }
a battle for third place.
TD Pass
Quarterback Art Periard passed
to Tom ChaPell for one touch-
down and ran for another to spark
Beta Theta Pi's to a 12-0 victory
over Kappa Sigma. Delta Tau
Delta gained a second place play-
off berth by beating Phi Epsilon
Pi, 18-0.
Phi Sigma Kappa scored a
touchdown with two minutes left,
to win the game and a place in
the first place playoffs. With Sig-
ma Phi Epsilon in control of the
ball deep in its own territory, it
looked like they would be able to
hold the ball for the final two
minutes and force the game into
overtime. But Tom Moore inter-
cepted a pass to give Phi Sigma
Kappa its chance. On the next
play quarterback Dave Geiger
threw a touchdown pass to Ber-
nard Collins.
Phi Kappa Psi recorded its first
triumph in a big way, shutting out
Phi Upsilon, 34-0.
