7 Offense, Defense Opposite of Year Ago
BIG TEN SHORTS:
Line Injuries Hamper MSU
By TOM WEBBER
ou may not know it, but the
higan team you're watching
y Saturday is almost the
t opposite of the team you
last year-statistic-wise, that
ast year Michigan grabbed two
nctions in the final Big Ten
Lstics. The biggest laurel ws
of having the most tens-
s defense. Last year's Wolver-
defense allowed the fewest
points per game, the fewest yards,
the fewest yards per play, and,
well just about the fewest of
everything.
The other distinction, or a more
dubious nature, was that of hav-
ing the most impotent offense in
the league (Indiana was on pro-
bation and didn't count.) Minne-
sota averaged 12 fewer yards per
game, but also averaged 'eight
fewer plays per game. Thus went
to Michigan the unique pleasure
of gaining the fewest yards per
play of the Big Ten teams, man-
againg a woeful 3.4q yard average.
The situation this year, however,
is, as the saying goes, a horse of
a different color.
The Michigan offense, although
basically the same personnel as
last year, has suddenly blossomed
into an offensive threat. The Wol-
verines have already scored 22
more points in four Big Ten games
as they did in six last year, and
that with a shut-out against Mich-
igan State.
They are averaging 50 more
yards a game than last year and
only one other team, Ohio State,

BOSTON - Roger Maris was
voted the most valuable player
in the American League yesterday
by members of the Baseball Writ-
er's Association of America.
The Yankee slugger won the
honor for the second straight year
by nosing out teammate Mickey
Mantle by four points in the vot-
ing.
,A first-place vote was worth 14
points, a second-place vote nine
points, third-place eight points
and so on.
Seven Firsts
Maris received seven first-place
votes and wound up with 202
points. Mantle received six first-
place votes and finished with 198a
points. Last year Maris beat'
Mantle by three points, 225-222.
Jim Gentile of the Baltimore
Orioles finished third, gathering
157 points while the Detroit Tigers'
Norm Cash, the American League
batting champion, placed fourttl
with 151 points.
Led League
Maris not only hit more home
runs than any player in histor,
but led the league in the very
vital department of driving in
runs. He wound up with 142 RBI's;
-probably the most destructive
.269 hitter in baseball annals.
Maris did not break Babe Ruth's
mark in the required 154 games,,
but he came close enough to push
almost everything else on the
nation's sport's pages into a sec-
ondary role.

Take's Coaching job .
N 1941 EVASHEVSKI finally got out from under the Harmon shadow.
He took the head coaching job at little Hamilton College in Clinton,
N.Y., where he compiled a respectable 5-2 record. But with the coming
of World War II, Evashevski left Hamilton for military service.
lie was not to become a head coach again until 1950, when he
accepted the post at Washington State College. Evy's reasoning
was that if he could get some of those big, backwoods boys to stop
rolling logs long enough to go to college he'd have, If not the best,
at least the strongest team in the nation.
But things didn't work out that way, and Evy finished with only
an 11-6-2 record for two years. Nobody really seemed to care though.
The students didn't even bother to hang him in effigy. In fact, many
of the students didn't even know what the word meant. When they
throw a rope over a tree in Washington it's not for such a menial
thing as losing a football game. They reserve that for people who
throw lighted cigarettes out car windows. And Smokey the Bear springs
the trap.
Accepts Iowa Post .. .
'O NOBODY really objected when Evashevski left Washington State
in 1952 to accept the head coaching position at Iowa. When Evy
arrived Iowa was only famous for two things, corn and Jean Seberg.
The difference being that one grew up and the other out. Evy swiftly
became noted for his tough practice sessions. He was determined to
bring Iowa out of a 20-year slump. When Evashevski scheduled a head
knocking session the players soon realized he meant without helmets.
Evashevski's conception of a helmet was something you used dur-
ing a game to protect what you might need to get through school.
Evy's teams soon became the scourge of the Big Ten. By the
time he retired at the end of last season to become athletic director
his Iowa teams had won 52 games, won 27 and tied four. His 1956
and 1958 teams won the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl games,
and in 1960 the Hawkeyes shared the title with Minnesota.
To say Evashevski is revered in the corn country is an under-
statement. After the last speech he gave in Des Moines, 34 people
came forward to make their decision for Iowa. A heretic in Iowa is
someone who doesn't like the wing T.
The Iowa team that comes to Ann Arbor Saturday will be coached
by Jerry Burns. But don't be mistaken. Despite the losses it's still a
Forest Evashevski recruited club.
