NOVEMBER 151.1961 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE op Ends Have NFL Fans in Tizzy ROSE BOWL? OSU in Top Positioi By BOB COHEN ' The extensive use of the for- ward pass is making the National Football League one of America's top sport attractions. Bart Starr, Milt Plum and com- pany open up the defenses with their spirals and provide running room for the Jim Taylors and Jim Browns. However, this sea- son, one of the most delicate of pro football skills, pass-receiving, is finally getting the attention it deserves. The' passers are ever- improving and so are the ends, only more so. th to T m D G S.

However, despite all his speed, Randle was very ineffec- tive in his first season. It was only after studyiny game films of Mc- Donald and Berry and practicing cuts and feints that Randle was able to attain stardom. Last year. he caught 62 passes, second in the league, on a team that was not essentially pass-con- scious. He capped off his sensa- tional performance with two beau- tiful touchdown receptions in the Pro-Bowl"game. his rookie season with the Bears. At Pitt last year, he was mainly 'wimmerettes To Host Toronto, Western Ontario The strongest group of collegiate girl swimmers ever assembled in this country will pit their skills this Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Women's Pool. The triangular meet with ad- mission free will feature Michi- gan's Speed Swim plub, the Tor- onto Women's Swimming Team and the Western Ontario Women's Swimming Team. The last two are the Canadian National champions and runners-up. The Michigan squad boasts four national champions, three national record-holders, one .world record- holder, a dozen junior national champions and a list of state champions. Arrayed against Mich- igan's three All-Americans will be three Pan American team medal- ists and a two-time'Olympic swim-, mer and former record-holder for the Canadians. } Top-notch Meet There has never been such an opportunity to see top-notch wo- men's swimming and diving at Michigan. In fact, this is the first intercollegiate meet for girls held here in more than 25 years, the last meet being an Ohio State-, Michigan dual meet in :the middle 1930's. There will be 50-yd. races in each stroke plus a 100-yd. freestlye, and 200-yd. relays. The diving will introduce June Mori, Japanese tower diving champion from Tokyo; Sara Watt, U.S. National Junior Springboard Champion; and four State Champiqns - Becky Walther (Ohio), Karen Ryan (Michigan), Gretchen Groth (Nebraska) and Linda Lyle (N.Y.). The first three are freshmen and the last three sophomores here. Heading the group of Univer- sity girl swimmers are Sue Rogers, National breaststroke champion and indoor world record holder; and Barbara Nullmeyer, freestyle sprinter, National Junior Cham- pion and 1960 Olympic alternate in the 100-meter freestyles. Two of this country's top girl butterflyers, freshmen Sue Thrasher and Carolyn Coffman, will swim along with Marty Sinn, Sue Clifford, La June Rodgers, Sperry Jones, and others who are National Junior Champions. Thrasher, Jones and Sinn are also All-American Water Polo players and National Champions in that sport.. Retired swimmers including Olympic gold medalist Joan Spil- lane, All-American backstroker Eileen Murphy and Water Polo Champions Malie Forest and Mar- cia Jones are expected to officiate. Offsetting this array of local talent, the Canadians will offer two - time Olympic backstroker Sara Barber, former World record holder and 1959 Canadian Woman Athlete of the Year. Miss Barber, twice a British Empire Games finalist and Pan American Games medalist, will be supported by Bonnie Benson, Canadian breast- stroke champion, and Western On- tario's Mary Lou Whitwell, fourth and fifth in the 1959 Pan Ameri- can breaststroke finals, plus a host of Canadian National Collegiate Champions. This year Randle is somewhat behind his 1960 pace, but this is explained by the Cardinals' loss of John Crow, whose job it was to keep the defense honest with his all-around play. Shofner on Comeback Shofner had his greatest sea- son with the Rams in 1958. After that year, the fleet end was beset with injuries and was finally dealt' this season to the New York Gi- ants. It may well have been the best deal the Giants ever made. A healthy Shofner has been up among the league leaders in both total catches and touchdown passes. Against the Redskins two weeks ago, he snared three TD passes, and last week, he riddled the Eagle defensive secondary, taking full advantage of the ab- sence of Eagle defensive star Tom Brookshier. Rote came to the Giants from SMU in 1952, heralded as one q.: the greatest college football play-. ers ever. Then he suffered several severe knee. injuries, seriously hampering his speed. Rote, how- ever, compensated by developing patterns and cuts far superior to those of most other ends in the league. Master Receiver "Houdini" Rote is today rec- ognized as the league's foremost master of pass c atching tech- niques, and has been invaluable to the Giants, who are currently tied for the Eastern Conference lead with the Eagles. Little McDonald of the Eagles has made it on sheer determina- tion. After an unsuccessful fling at halfback, McDonald was switched to the slotback position and proceeded to become the league's best. Unbelievable catch- es, clutch plays, and runs into the goal post are typical MdDon- ald routines. Only Erich Barnes of the Giants has been able to cover him adequately this season. Typi- cal of his play was his game- winning 40-yd. grab of a Sonny Jurgensen aerial against the Red- skins two weeks ago. Three Favored When the league selections are made known, it could well be that Berry, Dial, and Cogdill will get the nod. Berry Is Johnny Unitas' favor- ite target and has been a peren- nial All-Pro selection. Berry was injured earlier this year, but still has a nexcellent opportunity to pull-in his usual 70 receptions since this season's schedule is two games longer. Dial has teamed with Rudy Buvich to give the Steelers a ser- ious passing threat, while Cogdill has been on the receiving end of many important Jim Ninowski aerials from the Lion's new twin- spread attack. One thing is for sure, those All- Pro end posts will be filled bril- liantly. Guess what? Neither Michigan nor Michigan State can win the, Big Ten title this year. As a matter of fact there are only three teams in the conference that could possibly go to the Rose Bowl if the snooty West Coast wants a Western Conference team. And if you're a bettor, put ;your money on Ohio State. Yes, the Buckeyes, Minnesota and Purdue are the teams which are mathematically in the run- ning. With their 5-0 record and one remaining conference game, Woody Hayes and his "cloud of dust" Buckeyes are sitting pretty. Showdown Saturday The Gophers and the Boiler- makers each have two remaining games and one with each other. That contest will take place this Saturday at Minneapolis. A loss1 to Purdue will make the Boiler- makers an also-ran, since they have already lost a conference{ game to Michigan. The Gophers, By JIM BERGER however, will still be in the race if their recent luck decides to run out. If Minnesota does lose, the race will really be tied in a knot, Anything Can Happen With this three-team race we could have many possibilities What if Purdue beats Minnesota and then Indiana in its last game of the season? What if Minnesota loses to the Boilermakers and de- feats Wisconsin? And what if Ohic State loses to Michigan? Yes, you guessed it, the Go- phers would take the Big Ten championship: Why? Because they play seven games while Ohio State and Purdue schedule. only six. This I sall highly hypothetical Either Minnesota or Ohio State should be the champion, and if the Big Ten gets the bowl bid the Boilermakers probably will gc West, because the Athletic Admin- istrations of both Minnesota and Ohio State have said that they will probably refuse the bid. k r "for the student body". ' ONE OF THE MANY-Kyle Rote, the New York Giants' ace pass receiver, is one of the many top-notch targets of NFL quarterbacks throughout the league. The presence of so many great ends in the league, should make this year's All-Pro selections interesting if difficult to decide upon. t ': Texas Students Send Apologies to Baylor AUSTIN MP) - Texas students and officials began a series of. apologies yesterday to Baylor for nine pranksters who killed a Bay- lor mascot bear cub in a kidnaping attempt. The nine-month-old cub, named Ginger, died last Thursday night when slugged with a wrench during the kidnap plot. Ginger was one of a set of twin cubs. The other, Pepper, was unharmed. Dean of Student Life Arno No- wotny said the nine culprits met yesterday afternoon with members of a special committee of student leaders, faculty members and ath- letic department officials, known as the Rally Committee. That group made three recommenda- tions: 1. .That the nine appear today at 3 p.m. before a University Dis- ciplinary Committee of three fac- ulty members and two students "for serious disciplinary action." 2. That student leaders go to Waco to make a public apology to Baylor students for the death of the mascot. Fetzer Buys Knorr Stock DETROIT WP)-John E. Fetzer said yesterday he has bought up the final one-third interest in the Detroit Tigers and is now sole owner of the American League baseball club. Fetzer said he purchased the one-third interest held by the, Knorr Broadcasting Co. Fred A. Knorr, who died last December, was one of Fetzer's partners in the syndicate which bought the Tigers from the W. O. Briggs estate in 1956. His widow is president of Knorr Broadcasting. Fetzer gained two-thirds con- trol of the club in October of last year and became president of the club. Fetzer, who is in Tucson, Ariz., said in a statement that the deal was made to guarantee continued smooth operations at Tiger Sta- dium. Price paid for the Knorr ,stock was not given. 3.
