UCLA, USC Tops in AA U (ContinueI from Page 1) with Bob Chandler likely to see more action than before with the second unit of Jack Strobel, Ed Hood, and Ward. May Face 'Shotgun' With Illinois reportedly at full strength for the first time-this season, it is not certain who will direct the attack. If the Illini use the double spread "shotgun," sophomore Ron Fearn will prob- ably operate from the tailback slot. He has the best running aver- age on the squad at 5.5 and also likes to run the option play. Full- back Al Wheatland is the leading ground gainer, having chalked up 190 yards, while halfbacks Jerry Parola and Cecil Young supply the outside speed. Young Fastest Runner Young was called "their fast- est runner" by Michigan scout Don Dufek, and with good reason, as he scampered 96 yards with the second half kick-off for a touch- down in last week's 23-9 loss to Purdue. He also has a 5.1 rushing average in just 11 tries as he only recently has seen extended action. The same is true of Parola who has a 3.5 average. The quarterback situation is up in the air in case Illinois goes back to its more familiar T-for- mation. Mel Romani has done MICHIGAN ILLINOIS Maentz%......LE ..... Walker Houtman ... LT.....

Illinois will be giving away a sizeable weight advantage in the line, but two 228 pounders provide a stable anchorage: Tony Parril- li, at left guard and Gary Brown at right tackle. Despite comparative records, today's game shapes up as closer, than most Michigan supporters would care to admit. Not only are the Wolverines playing away from home, a physi- cal disadvantage, but Illinois has the double incentive of "Dad's and 'I' Men's Day" to go along with its search for win number one. All this, coupled with Pete El- liott's desire for revenge, Il- nois' complex attack, and the Il- lini upset tradition at Champaign, makes the Wolyerine task seem rather imposing. But Michigan has fired its guns before this year, and would like to record its first win on the road since beat- ing Illinois two years ago. However, as Bump Elliott said, let's leave the game to the boys' on the field. Press box propagan- da won't change the outcome. Iowa Hopes for Upset In Clash with Minnesota By BOB COHEN Minnesota, Ohio State, and Michigan State, the Big Ten's top squads in national ranking, are out on the road this week seeking to enhance their national reputa- tions while gunning for the confer- ence championship. Minnesota journeys to Iowa, Michigan State visits Purdue, and Ohio State invades Indiana. All should prove to be interesting tilts, with perhaps the most exciting ac- tion taking place at Iowa City where the Gophers and Hawkeyes meet. Iowa, the pre-season Big Ten favorite, has found some rough going. Beaten on successive Satur- days by Purdue and Ohio State, the injury-ridden Hawkeyes ,are desperately seeking revenge. Key to their offensive hopes is quarterback Matt Szykowny. Fill- ing in for injured Wilburn Hollis, Szykowny was sensational against Wisconsin three weeks ago as he passed for three touchdowns while misfiring on only 3 of 17 passes. He leads the conference in passing and is second to Minnesota's San- dy Stephens in total offense. The chief receives of Szykowny's aerials is sophomore end Cloyd Webb who has already snared more than twice as many passes as any Hawk- eye end last year. Most of Iowa's problems have been on defense. The weakness there has been evident since the Southern Cal game when the Hawkeyes barely squeezed by 35- 34. Pro Scores NBA Detroit 124, New York 118 Los Angeles 121, Chicago 106 Late Score: UCLA 28, TCU 7 Coach Jerry Burns appears op- timistic. "Iowa will be up for this game. We have been looking for- ward to the Minnesota game ever since the loss at Minneapolis a year ago. It's nice to be back home and the team's good attitude is shown by the practice field en- thusiasm. I expect a real team effort." Minnesota come to Iowa with a four-game skein including its im- pressive whitewash of the Spar- tans. Coach Murray Warmath earlier this week sounded the key- note when he tersely remarked: "We can't afford to look back to Michigan State. If we don't have peak performance and give peak effort against Iowa, we'll get beat." While memory of last year's de- feat at Minneapolis still rings in Iowa's ears, thevGophers too have reason for revenge. They have never beaten the Hawkeyes at Iowa City during Warmath's ten- ure as head coach. Near Top Strength Indications are that the Minne-{ sota squad will be near top strength. Carl Eller, giant sopho- more tackle, and Bob . Deegan, starting right end and a defensive pillar, and Dick Enga, stellar line- backer, all incurred minor injuries against the Spartans Speaking about their fifth- ranked rivals, opposing Coach Burns ventured, "Defensively, I think the 1961 team is not as strong physically as that of 1960. But the defenders are better be- cause they are more active and mobile. The offense has gained confidence since quarterback San- dy Stephens is 'hot' and the play- ers believe they can accomplish anything when Stephens is in there." By GEORGE WANSTALL With the football season already seven weeks old, eyes are beginning to turn to the Pacific Coast to find a key to the possible host team for this year's Rose Bowl. The standings are pretty spread at this point, and in the one or two conference games that remain for each team anything could hap- pen-the standings could nearly reverse, or they could be set in such a way that the Bowl team would be evident. UCLA in Top Position UCLA is in the best position at this stage of the game. The Bruins have won two games in as many starts, but the story only begins there. They close the season with Southern California and Washing- ton, two and three in the Athletic Association of Western Universi- ties standings. Southern Cal boasts a 1-0-1 record, followed by the Huskies' 1-1-1 mark. The remaining two teams in the AAWU are practically out of the running, but they still could have something to say about which of the top three teams will journey to Pasadena on New Year's Day. California with a 1-2 record has only lowly Stanford left on their schedule, but Stanford meets Southern Cal today. A victory for the winless Indians would virtually eliminate the Trojans from the running. One Conference Game Today there is only one game in conference play, the Stanford-, Southern Cal tilt. The cellar dwell- ing Indians, after their early sea- son upset of Oregon State, have failed to come up with an effective attack. The Trojans on the other hand, have looked strong all sea- son, particularly in their 35-34 loss to powerful Iowa . In other games, UCLA defends U-D Wins DETROIT (P) - Underdog De- troit, with stand-in Ron Bishop hurling a pair of second half touchdown passes, put a crimp in Villanova's bowl hopes last night with a 20-6 intersectional victory. Bishop, making his first start because of Jerry Gross' ankle in- jury, snapped a halftime tie by leading the Titans on two long touchdown drives. The sophomore climaxed the marches with 19 and 35 yard scoring passes to John Lower. its reputation against the unpre- dictable Texas Christian Horned Frogs. The Bruins are 3-2 in inter-1 sectional play, losing to Michigan and OSU, while trimming Air Force, Vanderbilt, and Pitt. Huskies Home The Washington Huskies are also at home this week, hosting coast rival Oregon State. The home team boasts a strong offense, while State's claim ot fame is its defense. From there it's anybody's ball game. The remaining team, California, musters the home forces to stave' off the invading Air Force. The Bears own a victory over confer- ence rival Washington and a. tie with the strong Missouri Tigers. played in all corners of the coun- Top games today are being played in all corners of the coun- try. No particular section can be featured. In the, East, Ivy League action will undoubtedly go a long way to decide the conference winner this year. League-leading Princeton jour- neys to Harvard land to do battle wtih the contending Crimson. The Tigers have an undefeated season' to put on the line, and the Crim- son would be more than willing to welcome the Tigers to the once- beaten ranks. Invades Columbia In the other top game in the Ivy League, Dartmouth invades Co- lumbia to do battle with the roar- ing Lions. Both teams are still well in contention, having dropped only one game, but a loss will virtually eliminate one from the running. The country's leading indepen- dents are also in top games today. Navy meets Duke in one of the tilts, and Notre Dame is on the road traveling to Pittsburgh to tangle with the Panthers. Southern fans will also have some top games to watch. LSU is riding high from their. 10-7 upset of Mississippi last week, making themselves vulner- able for an upset, but North Caro- lina doesn't appear strong enough to pull the trick. The Tennessee - Georgia Tech match ought to be a hot one. The Vols have been laying back for a game like this one all season, and an unsuspecting Tech team could find a ball of fire in the fiery team from Knoxville. At the 19th Hole with Fred Steinhardt Grid Sidelights Although he unquestionably recruits the very best football ma- terial in the land year in and year out, I am beginning to wonder if a Duffy Daugherty team will ever go undefeated at Michigan State. Why is it that every year people are fooled into believing Ohio State is overrated when the Bucks are unimpressive in their open- ing non-conference "exhibitions?" Right now I'd give away a touch- down to any team except LSU and still collect on OSU. It is a shame that Ohio State didn't get the chance to ex- plode the Minnesota myth last year and won't this year either. Mnnesota is the most over-rated team this side of Alabama. They have played a total of two impressive games in the past two seasons, last year against Iowa and last week against MSU. In 1960, Ohio State fell victim to: (1) the Purdue upset special along with Minnesota, and (2) a rash of food poisonng the night before the Iowa game. So OSU finished 7-2 and Minnesota disgraced the Big Ten against a Washington team which would have fin- ished fifth in the conference. I would rather send SAE to Pasa- dena than Minnesota. This column predicted that Iowa was over-rated way back on September 19. Sure enough, the Hawkeyes have already suffered two conference losses and they should consider themselves fortunate if they split between Minnesota and Michigan. Injuries to Wilburn Hollis and Larry Ferguson are not a good excuse. Hollis' replace- ment Matt Szykowny leads the conference in passing and has added needed variety to the Iowa attack which passed only 98 times in 1960 with Hollis at the helm. This is not a full blown accusation, but a query. After Michi- gan demolished Army, there were locker-room mutterings of how Army played "dirty football." Then, how much of an accident was the fractured ankle suffered by Detroit's diminutive All- America quarterback candidate Jerry Gross early in the Titan's loss to Army last Saturday? They say the Cadets gave Gross a standing ovation as he left the field on a stretcher. How sporting. (Speaking of Gross, Bump and Duffy, do you still think he is too small for Big Ten football?) Every year about this time, people begin complaining about the absurdity of the wire service ratings. This subject is too hackneyed to deserve a full column. Big Ten followers might as well realize that while the five or six best Big Ten teams might be the equal of any in the country, they will not be rated in the first five or six places. This is because writers from such out of the way places as Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, and (ugh!) Hollywood have votes, too. Michigan has beaten two teams ahead of it, outplayed another, and could ob- viously manhandle the likes of Utah State, Rutgers, and Maryland. * * * * Of course I am picking Michigan this week, but don't be sur- prised if Illinois kicks up some dust. One, Michigan is hurting at some key positions. Two, they may be looking ahead to Iowa and Ohio State. Three, the Illini are just not THAT bad. They are a sophomore team, the kind that improves as the season goes on. The only football which compares with the Big Ten is that played by the tough, defense-minded Southeastern Conference. Indeed, LSU just might be the best team anywhere. (By beating Mississippi last week they reduced my list of "Highly Overrateds" down to Alabama and Minnesota.) But how would Ohio State fare against LSU without Bob Ferguson or Michigan without Dave Raimey and Benny McRae? In case you are wondering what these three have in common, they are all Negroes. If the Big Ten does have an edge in quality over the SEC, that could be one reason why. 4 I II Army Calls Baylor Into Active Service I SAN FRANCISCO (A) - Elgin Baylor of the Los Angeles Lakers, who holds the all-time National Basketball Association individual scoring record of 71 points in a single game, has been ordered to report to active military duty, a 6th Army spokesman said here last night. The army spokesman said Bay- lor probably would have to report ' to active duty in about a month, but couldn't give the exact date and place. . The 6-5, 230-pound Baylor has teamed up with second year guard Jerry West to give the Lakers a terrific scoring punch. They are 2-3 in the individual scoring standings, being topped only by Wilt Chamberlain. Baylor was the only forward id the league to lead him team in assists during the season since Dolph Schayes of Syracuse did it in 1956-57. t" ELGIN BAYLOR ...
