The varsity five survived some ry cold shooting and some dis- ppointing performances from the wards to edge by a good fresh- man squad, led by 6'7" Bill Bun- tin. Buntin scored 20 points from a variety of shots and drew sev- eral ovations from the crowd of over 1,000 with his defensive play. Disappointing Performances "We had some disappointing performances and we had some very good performances," Coach Dave Strack said after the game. "I'm very glad we played this 7eWimae06 Ci1"C~e By MIKE BURNS Ring Out the Old " WOULD SAY it has been a successful season ... I don't think the score of the game detracts from the team's play this year." Minutes after absorbing a 50-20 trouncing which closed the year, a slightly shaken and disheartened Bump Elliott still managed to find a faint smile-it had been a good season. The record looked good-six wins and three losses. One press box wag pointed out that Elliott improves his record by one game per year. "By 1964, MVichigan will go undefeated," he ob- served. On the other hand, some alumni didn't feel quite that way, and the poor attendance was indicative of this attitude. Although Michi- gan trounced the non-conference opposition for the second year in a row, the Wolverines lost the big ones. Traditional rivals Michigan State and Ohio State administered decisive beatings to the Maize and Blue and the Brown Jug stayed in Minneapolis for another year. Losses to UCLA or Duke would have meant less to alums than defeats by MSU, OSU and Minnesota. And despite the imprqvement in the overall record and the conference mark, the Wolverines fell a notch in the Big Ten standings. While a 2-4 mark was good enough for a fifth-place tie in 1960, the 3-3 Michigan record this year put them in sixth spot. Attendance Disappointing.. . Incidentally, football attendance figures were somewhat disap- pointing to the athletic department and will probably mean subse- quent cutbacks in the athletic program. Total attendance for seven home contests was about 507,000 or a little better than 70,000 per game. This figure was substantially boosted by the Michigan State sell-out and was below expectations. Thanksgiving holiday coupled with the regional telecast pre- vented an OSU game sell-out. Television receipts, although huge, go mainly to the Western Conference and NCAA, leaving little for the home team. At the beginning of the year, it looked like a great season for ticket sales with a top West Coast squad, an Eastern name and a highly-regarded Southern outfit all scheduled to perform in Ann Ar- bor. Four conference games, including the two BIG ones were also o the home card for the Wolverines. But even the Homecoming game with a top-flight Purdue team turned out only some 69,000 fans. All of which lends some credibility to the contention that winning the big ones is more important to ticket sales than a winning season. ' Speaking of winners, it looks like that's what it takes to be gra- cious in the OSU-Michig'an post-game ceremonies. Wolverine Coach Bump Elliott, generally considered a nice guy around the league, very brusquely shook hands with OSU mentor Woody Hayes after the game. While one could appreciate the "hurt" feeling which Elliott experienced when Hayes continued to pile up the score while the Wol- verine mentor gave his reserves a chance to play, the incident was viewed by thousands of television and in-person spectators and did not help to create a favorable for Michigan. Although Elliott was cordian enough in the locker room after the incident, he missed an excellent opportunity to draw a dis- itnction between his conduct and that which has typified Hayes in the past. Many fans still recall Hayes' snub of Elliott two years ago when the Wolverines pulled an upset on the Bucks. But Hayes' action in running up the score against the Michigan reserves proved to no avail, as his team continued to stay in the num- ber two slot in the national ratings behind an idle Alabama team. Hopes for a western New Year's jaunt were firmly jolted from Hayes' mind when the Ohio State faculty voted not to send the team yesterday, despite the Bucks' first-place conference finish. So Satur- day's power play will mean little to OSU except to demonstrate the Buckeye coach's warped sense of humor or sportsmanship. Interesting Season... While the Wolverines were ranked anywhere from Big Ten champ to an also-rain in the generally unreliable pre-season forecasts, the schedule which Michigan played indicated that it would at least be an Interesting yar. It was, despite the three league losses. Perhaps the Michigan record more than anything else represented the tremendous football power of the Big Ten. While the Blue finished in the second division, they still managed to polish off the West Coast's Rose Bowl representative, UCLA, by a sound 29-6 count. Michigan had its best year since 1956, the record clearly shows. And those who watched the season's play could tell you that the Wolverines looked better than they have in at least that many years. The line was bigger and the backfield faster. This was the first year that Elliott had coached the entire squad through all its varsity competition, since he took over the reins three years ago. When they won, they looked unbeatable. And when they lost, well, disappointment was heavier than usual. But that's the kind of season it was-like a roller coaster. All of which is perplexing, when' you try to figure out why 1961 must have been a good year for Michi- gan football. game. I hope it will serve as a regular game for experience," he continued. Strack also hoped that the varsity got its bad game out of the way for the opening game with Ball State College this Sat- urday. Strack singled out center John Harris and forward John Ooster- baan as the pest performers for the varsity. Oosterbaan led in scoring with 20 points, while Har- ris had 18 and surprised with some good rebounding. Up To Him "I think John (Harris) felt it wasup to him to do the Job on Buntin and he went out and did it," Strack said. Strack has been more than concerned with the re- bounding of his small team and Harris gave a little encouragement in this department, although Strack said that there still need- ed to be, improvement. Harris, 6'5", held his own against the taller and heavier Buntin. Oosterbaan settled down after a rocky first half which saw him draw five personal fouls, enough to foul out of a regular game. He scored six buckets in the second half to lead the varsity's final surge, besides sparkling on de- fense. Guards Disappointing The disappointing performances came from Strack's two starting guards, Jon Hall and Bob Can- 'M' Tankers Win in AAU By DAVE GOOD Bill Darnton, Dick Nelson and freshmen Ed Bartsch and Lanny Reppert won six of eight indi- vidual events for Michigan in the Michigan AAU Swimming Meet at East Lansing Friday, but Coach Gus Stager is still unhappy be- cause of the two that got away. Stager complained about the sprintsas being "where we really are behind." Despite the fact that the Wolverines placed four men in both events, their highest fin- ishers were Jim Kerr, second in the 50-yd. freestyle, and freshman Jim Riutta, third in the 100. Darnton, team captain and a. 1960 Olympian, b.eat teammates Roy Burry and John Dumont with a 4:33.2 clocking in the 440-yd. freestyle. He also pulled a 2:03.4 to catch MSU's Mike Wood in the 220-yd. freestyle. "Wood went out too fast," explained Stager. "Bill had to work to catch him but he had the race under control all the way. This was an excellent race for this time of the year and he could get awfully close to the rec- ord (2:00.6 by Murray. Rose, USC)." Nelson swam a good 1:03.4 to win the 100-yd. breaststroke and Jon Baker got third. Reppert timed :55.0 in the 100- yd. butterfly to beat varsity men Steve Thrasher and Jeff Long- streth as the Wolverines placed five out of six mnen in the finals. Bartsch won the 200-yd. indi- vidual medley in 2:08.7 and the 100-yd. backstroke in an outstand- ing :55.8. Longstreth was third in the medley and Mike Reissing third in the backstroke. Pete Cox beat out Ron Jaco by less than three points for top diving honors. Davis is Voted' Heis man Cup Ernie Davis of Syracuse won the coveted Heisman trophy yester-1 day. He is the first Negro to be voted the football award since it was established in 1935. Davis received 824 points in the balloting com- pared to 771 for Bob Ferguson. Ferguson, Ohio State's pounding fullback, is also a Negro. Jimmy Saxton of Texas edged Minnesota's Sandy Stephens for third spot. trell. Hall was 0-5 from the floor, while Cantrell hit on a dismal 1-7. Both teams were shooting for a poor percentage (the half-time score was only 25-23), but it seemed to affect the play of Hall and Cantrell the most. Strack's offense depends a great deal on the guards for passing and organizing the offense. With the poor shooting came bad passes and a slow offense. Substituted Herner Strack finally substituted Doug Herner, another sophomore, for Hall in the second half to add "speed." "Jon just didn't seem to get 'into' the game like he usually does," Strack said. "Bob missed his first couple shots and then started pressing. He wanted to get that first basket and started to take bad shots, and it got worse." The game itself was very close all the way, with the lead see- sawing back and forth. The var- sity finally pulled ahead by five points midway through the second half when Buntin was taken out for a rest. The freshmen, led by Larry Tregoning, fought back and still were in the ball game until the final minute when Oosterbaan blocked George Pomey's shot.

By The Associated Press Ohio State's faculty council has said "no" to OSU's participation in this New Year's Rose Bowl game. The decision set off fireworks in Columbus where 5,000 yelling, singing,- sign - waving students swept through the town. Under Big Ten regulations, the' council is the final authority in athletic matters and a majority vote was required to send the Bucks td Pasadena. The vote was 28 to 25. The Ohio State gridders had previously voted to play in the Bowl game. The Bucks have par- ticipated in four previous Rose Bowl games. At least a dozen faculty mem-' bers expressed opinions /on the controversial subject during the meeting yesterday and most of them flatly opposed the bowl ven- ture. Chief objections appeared to be: 1) A trip would disrupt the nor- mal academic life of the school. 2) The university has become known as a "football school" and this has hurt the university's academic standing. 3) Absence from campus of fac- ulty members hampers the opera- tion of the administration. 4) The Rose Bowl is a com- mercial enterprise. 5) The 'council already had ex- pressed a decision on the matter and a change in that decision would hurt the school's prestige. 6) The Bowl game would only be arrehash ofea gameplayed earlier in the season when, Ohio beat UCLA, 13-3. Proponents argued that if the council was going to ban cowl appearances, similar outside ac- tivities also should be curtailed,. Others contended that refer- ences to Ohio State as a football school were not factual and that post-season games did not hurt Ohio's academic standing. Students Demonstrate Ohio State students, who had backed Coach Woody Hayes' grid- ders to an 8-0-1 record this fall, swept' into downtown Columbus last night. Police blocked off traffic as the students surged the three miles from the campus to the statehouse steps. The demonstration was or- derly. The students first erupted :n the fraternity district where the first of three effigies of John (Jack) Fullen, secretary of the Alumni Association and a long- time opponent of post-season games, was hanged. Thestudent crowd, growing in number, moved to the home of President Novice Fawcett. When he did not appear the group mov- ed to the Faculty Club where they opened the unlocked doors and tossed straw and dirt into the lobby. MSU Would Play The whiff of roses wafted over the campuses of other Big Ten schools after the Ohio State de- cision was announced. "We've always gone on record as favoring the Rose Bowl," said Michigan State head mentor Duffy Daugherty, "and we'd enjoy going again." Minnesota was runner-up in the Big Ten this fall. Murray War- math, Gopher head coach, said he would like to go back to the Rose Bowl so the team would have an opportunity to "make up for our disappointment against Washing- ton in the Rose Bowl last Jan- uary." < Keen Faces Rebuilding Task With '61 Wolverine Grapplers By PETE DiLORENZI Wolverine wrestling coach Cliff Keen is faced with a major re- building job as he and his charges prepare for the 1961-62 season opener at Hofstra College. Last year Michigan finished second in the Big Ten, four points behind Michigan State. Seven members of last year's team have graduated. Among them were Jim Blaker, a two-time Big Ten 147-lb. champion; team cap- tain Dennis Fitzgerald, also a two-time Big Ten champ, at 167; Karl Fink, runner-up in the heavy- weight division; and Willard Root, fourth in the 115-lb. class. Sophomores Fill Gap To fill the vacancies created by the departures of the graduated seniors, Keen has a flock of prom- ising sophomores. "Some of these sophomores will be green at first, but they'll be working on their weaknesses, and if they develop as we think they can, we'll be okay," he admits. Of the losses themselves, Keen is frankly regretful. "You always get hurt when you lose men like that. ,We lost seven of twelve lettermen." In addition-to Hofstra, which is located in Hempstead, N. Y., the Wolverines will have to face Nevy, Indiana, Pitt, Purdue, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Iowa, Michigan State and Minnesota in dual meets. On December 28 and 29 they will travel to Wilkes Col- lege in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. to par- ticipate in the 30th Annual Wilkes Open Wrestling Tournament, which Keen calls "the top col- legiate Open wrestling tournament in the nation," and in which Mich- igan finished second last year. The other two tournaments are, of course, the Big Ten Meet, which will be held at Minneapolis this year on March 2 and 3, and the 1N.C.A.A. meet at Stillwater, Okla., on March 23, 24 and 25. Tough Teams Scheduled Looking at the schedule, Keeh notes that there are more than a few "rough" teams which will battle for the Big Ten champion- ship. "Michigan . State (last year's conference leader) will be, very tough, of course. So will Iowa and Illinois. Northwestern will prob- 'ably have the greatest team it has ever had this year. But the real darkhorse may be Minnesota. They lost 17 men last year by ineligi- bility and injury, and if they can get together all the talent they should have, they could be the best team in the conference," he said. "As far as out-of-conference teams are concerned, we've sched- uled two of the East's perennially strongest teams-Pittsburgh and Navy-and one of its toughest small-college teams, Hofstra," he added. It is still too early in the sea- 'son for Keen to have arrived at exact weight assignments, but he is reasonably sure of some. Three sophomores-Carl Rhodes, Mike Palmisano and Ralph Bahna -will battle for the 123-lb berth; junior Nick Armelagos, a 115 and 123 pounder last year, and sopho- more Gerald Wilcox will be at 130. Fritz Kellerman, Big Ten 130-lb champion for two years, will move up to 137 this year; and Jim Keen, sophomore son of the Wol- verine mentor, Jim Potter and Doug Kuziak, currently hindered by a sprained ankle and who may well switch to 137, will battle it out at 147. Sophomore Wayne Muller ap- pears to be the only contender at 157. Captain-at 167 Captain Don Corriere or sopho- more Bill Erwin will wrestle at 167, with Corriere possibly moving up to 177. Bill Florence, a sopho- more, or Mike Vuocolo, a foot- baller, will hold down the 177 spot; and Jack Barden, a junior and runner-up at 191 last year, will wrestle heavyweight along with footballers Guy Curtis and Dave Mongeau. With these tentative weight as- signments, Keen begins his 37th season as head Wolverine wrest- ling coach. In his own words, "We've got a good, strong nucleus and a lot of sophomores. All we have to do is get going." Hockey Victory at Toronto Impresses Coach Renfrew By JIM BERGER A very pleased Michigan hockey coach returned to Ann Arbor yes- terday morning, after his team took its opening game on foreign ice. Al Renfrew whose team had a dismal away record last season was pleased with his team's per- formance. "The boys played good hockey; they skated hard," said Renfrew. Gray Plays Goalie Renfrew pulled a few surprise moves in the Wolverine's 4-1 vic- WRESTLING CAPTAIN-Don Corriere, a senior from Bethlehem, Pa., and 1961-62 wrestling captain, is shown here in last'year's Michigan State meet. Corriere was undefeated in dual meets last year. [GRID SELECTIONS Sports editor Mike Burns dug way down in his bag of tricks to overtake Dave Good in the last week of the sports staff-Grid Picks contest. Burns came through with a spectacular 16-4 record to pick up three games on Good and emerge as the surprise winner after Good had led from the first week. George Wanstall ended up in third place, a game behind Good and three ahead of Fred Steinhardt, associate sports editor, who led LARRY BABCOCK ...has two assists tory. He installed sophomore Bob Gray in the nets in place of vet- eran Dave Butts. Incidentally, Butts made his debut last season and scored a shutout against the Blues. Renfrew's second move was put- ting two sophomores on his first line. Gordon Wilkie and Ron Cor- istine skated with Michigan cap- tain and last year's high scorer Red Berenson. The results pleased the Michigan mentor. "Wilkie is going to be a great hockey play- er," said Renfrew, Babcock Assists Twice Larry Babcock led Michigan's. returning lettermen as he got credit for two assists. Babcock, Bill Kelly ' and Tom Pendlebury skated together on the second line while Gerry Kolb centered John McGonigal, Carl White, and al- ternate Al Hinnegan on the third line. The defense, Michigan's weak spot in the pre-season analysis, came through in grand style at Toronto., With veteran Don Rog- ers, and sophomores Wayne Kar- tusch and Ross Morrison along with junior Mike Hanov the here- tofore "weak spot" ceased to exist. Besides breaking up plays the defense accounted for half the goals. Rogers and Kartusch each scored a tally, and Kartusch pick- ed up an assist. Plagued by Penalties Penalty wise the Wolverines didn't fare so well. They chalked up eight penalties, two of them majors. "We played their rules, checking all over the ice, and for a while all the boys wanted to do was check," said Renfrew. ' Michigan's victory away from home could be significant. Last season the Wolverines, lost. only three home games (two to Den- ver) but on the road they lost six and tied another.
