Alabama Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant rates the Tigers as the toughest team his Sugar Bowl- bound eleven will face this season. Unyielding Defense The Southeastern Conference- leading Crimson Tide boasts one of the nation's best defensive units anchored by a big line which has yielded only three touchdowns this season, two in the waning minutes against Georgia Tech and Van- derbilt and one before the passing attack of North Carolina State's Roman Garbiel. Offensively Alamaba lacks little, with its All-America candidate Pat Trammel the SEC's leading rusher quarterbacking an attack which combines passing, breakaway speed, and the power running of fullback Mike Fracchia, the Con- ference's leading rusher, in run- ning up yardage against opposing defenses. Mississippi in Action Potential Cotton Bowl partici- pant Mississippi, beaten only by Louisiana State, takes on its old rival Mississippi State in the wrap up of another successful season. Quarterback Doug Elmore is the sparkplug of the Rebels and has led them to victory in eight con- tests thus far. Mississippi, a strong favorite over a good State oppon- ent, should formally accept a trip to the Cotton Bowl this January. if they win today. Rice Wants Bowl Bid The Southwest Conference boasts an interesting schedule with the Rice-Baylor clash getting major billing. Baylor has already ac- cepted a bid to play in the Gotham Bowl against unbeaten Utah State, while Rice, impressive in its last two starts against Texas A&M and TCU, has its eyes on a Bluebonnet Bowl tussle with Kansas. In an annual gridiron classic Army will tackle Navy in a game rated as a tossup by forecasters. President Kennedy will be an in- terested spectator while millions will view it on national television. Duke Hosts Irish Notre Dame, still smarting from last week's trouncing by Iowa, will visit Durham for a meeting with Atlantic Coast Conference cham- pion Duke. The Irish are three- point favorites over a Blue Devil outfit with fine speed. In other games, Orange Bowl bound Colorado will try to shoot down the Air Force, Holy Cross hosts Boston College, SMU is at TCU, Virginia meets North Caro- lina, Oklahoma battles Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt tests Tennessee and Oregon State is at Houston. ' r ,, r i z r from an alert Michigan defense and some wild Huskie shots, stopped all Michigan Tech thrusts until the game was decided. He lost his shutout at 15:15 of the third period when Pat Casey batted in Barry Johnson's rebound from a goal mouth scramble. It made the second game in a row the giant size sophomore (6', 208 lbs.) had turned in a one-goal perform- ance. He beat Toronto 4-1 in Mich- igan's season lidlifter last Monday. Strong Performance But despite his strong perform- ance Michigan Coach Al Renfrew indicated that he would go with junior Dave Butts in tonight's rematch. "That's the only way we'll find out which one of them is better," Renfrew smiled. "Gray was caught out of posi- tion a couple of times," he con- tinued, "but he moved pretty well for a man of his size." For that matter the entire Michigan team moved pretty well as the Wolverines beat the Huskies at their own game - speed and hustle. Time after time Michigan for- wards broke in on the Tech de- fense, only to see their efforts foiled by an offside whistle or a missed pass. When they did man- age a shot, Bauman or one of The Intramural Building will now be open until 6 p.m. on Saturdays for the duration of the winter. It had previously been open until 12 noon. Bas- ketball courts will now be avail- able Saturday afternoons. Michigan Tech corps of sturdy defensemen got in the way. "We skated well," said Renfrew, "despite the slow ice. But Michigan Tech is a good club. They were much better than Toronto." Strangely enough Michigan's big gun of last year, Red Berenson, didn't pick a point for the second straight game, somewhat of an oddity for the big guy. Playing at right wing instead of his customary center slot, the Red- head had his opportunities, but the red light wouldn't go on. Three times he cut in alone around the Tech defense, once having his shot deflected over the open corner of the net and twice being stopped at close range by Bauman. Not Worried -Daily-Len Lofstrom SCRAMBLE-Michigan's sophomore wing Ron Coristine (12) and linemate Red Berenson jam at the puck in a goalmouth scramble in the first period of last night's 3-1 win over Michigan Tech. The masked wonder is Huskie goalie Gary Bauman. SEASON OPENER: Cagers Ready for Ball State By BILL BULLARD Coach Dave Strack is anxious to see how his basketball team will perform in a game. "We've worked hard for six' weeks," said Coach Strack. "But there's nothing like competition for a team." After six weeks of practice, the 1961-62 Michigan basketball squad could never be more ready to start its season. Ball State will provide the opportunity this afternoon at 4 p.m. in Yost Fieldhouse. In Good Shape Except for Hiram Jackson and Jim Ludwig, the team is in good physical shape for Ball State. Jackson, a sophomore who was ex- pected to see considerable action this season, injured his leg in the varsity - freshman game Tuesday night. He has a cast on his knee now and it won't be removed for Hockey Stats MICHIGAN TECH Gray G Bauman Rogers D Pallante Morrison D Wimmer Wilkie C Begg Coristine LW Draper Berenson R W Watson First Period Scoring: M-Wilkie (Morrison) 9:28; Penalties: T-Dra- per (cross checking) 0.55; M-Mor- rison (cross checking) 2:15; T - Begg (tripping) 4:25; M - White (high sticking) 7:45; T-Watson (high sticking) 7:43; T-Draper (in- terference) 12:07; M-Wilkie (trip- ping) 12:16; M-Rogers (elbowing) 18:40.

By a 108 to 33 vote in a closed meeting, the Minnesota Faculty Senate, which has final authority in such matters, voted to accept a formal bid to play in the Pasa- dena New Year's Day game should one be extended. It would be Minnesota's second straight Rose Bowl appearance. The Gophers lost to Washington 17-7 last year.' Await Formal Bid No foimal bid has been made to any team, but as a result of the vote today, an invitation from the Athletic Association of Western Universities (Big Five), the host group, could be expected soon. Minnesota would meet the Univer- sity of California at Los Angeles, the Big Five champion, in the classic., Minnesotakthus bounced unex - pectedly back into. the Rose Bowl scene just three days after the Ohio State Faculty Council nar- rowly decided against the Big Ten champion Buckeyes going. Buckeyes Out Ohio State, like second-choice Minnesota, had not been 'given an official invitation. But Ohio.-State, like Minnesota, was, acting on a "will you come if we invite you?" feeler. Minnesota, barred from a con- ference title tie with the Buckeyes by a last-game 23-31 loss to Wis- consin, would go to Pasadena an- xious to atone for what was con- sidered a disappointing perform- ance last year against Washington by the then No. 1 rated Gophers. Surprise Team This year Minnesota, given little chance to repeat as Big Ten and national champion, compiled a surprising 7-2 record. Minnesota lost its opener to Missouri 6-0 in the rain, then beat Oregon, North- western, Illinois, Michigan, Michi-I gan State (then unbeaten and ranked No. 1), Iowa, and Purdue in order before losing to Wiscon- sin. The Rose Bowl officials are not set yet on who they will invite to oppose the Bruins. Speculation that the Pacific Coast may be con- sidering Army or Navy for the Rose Bowl was heightened by the decision to put off the final selec- tion until tonight. Gophers in Front The Gophers and Michigan State are said to have the inside track for the bowl in that order. Army or Navy would enter only if both Big Ten schools spurned the bid. With the Gophers faculty approval Minnesota appears to be the best bet to spend New Year's Day in the city of roses. OSU Opens Cage. Season With Florida The opening of the Big Ten basketball season will see many of the Conference's hotshot quintets moving into the spotlight against intersectional opponents. Champion Ohio State, still smarting from an upset beating by Cincinnati in last year's NCAA will clash with Florida of the Southeastern Conference' in Co- lumbus. Lucas Returris All American Jerry Lucas and his well known running mates Mel Nowell and John Havlicek are still around and make the Buckeyes the team to be reckoned with in the Conference. Other games will include In- diana; without All-America Walt Bellamy, at Drake.,Iowa at Evans- ville, Ball State at Michigan, Northern Michigan at Michigan State, DePaul at Minnesota, Northwestern at Western Michi- gan an( South Dakota at Wiscon- sin, Purdue at Pittsburgh. Illinois got off to a fast start beating Butler 82-72 last night two weeks. During high school he was a guard on the Illinois state championship team from Spring- field along with current Wolverine starter Tom Cole. Ludwig Hurt Ludwig had injured his leg pre- viously and will -not be able to play WINS BIG Ball State warmed up for today's basketball game with Michigan by walloping Eastern Michigan last night, 90-58. for an indefinite period. As the 6'5" forward, he was also part of Coach Strack's plans for this sea- son. In all other respects the team is ready for the opener, Coach Strack said. "This is a ball club which needs competition and I think it will improve with compe- tition," he explained. "We're well conditioned and ready to play." First Meeting Tomorrow's game with Ball State will be the first time the two teams have played each other in basketball. Ball State reportedly has one of its finest teams in many years. Their roster includes seven lettermen, two promising transfer students, and six numeral winners from a freshman squad that lost only one game last season. Starters for the Muncie, Ind. team include three regulars from last year's squad. They are guards Dan Thurston and John Kunze and forward Mike Readnour. All three players had scoring averages in double figures last season. They were part of a team which scored 78.3 points per game. Good Reserves The other two positions on the team are filled by 6'3" junior transfer Larry Moudy at forward and 6'6" sophomore Ed Butler at center. Coach Jim Hinga has other capable men for replacements and won't lack fresh materail to try to wear down the Michigan team. Michigan will have an advan- tage in height over the Cardinals in the front line. Starting for the Wolverines at forward are 67" Tom Cole and 6'4" John Ooster- baan. Center John Harris si 65". Have Some Depth Captain Jon Hall and sophomore Bob Cantrell are set to start at the guard positions. However, Coach Strack also has competent re- serves to use in case his regulars tire or aren't playing well. Guards Doug Herner and Tom Eveland, forwards Barry Andrews and Char- lie Higgs and center Doug Green- wold are the first reserves likely to see action. Coach Strack believes that Ball State will give Michigan a tough time and should provide a chal- lenging opening game. He doesn't know for sure how the team will perform but says that, "I have expectations for us to improve over Tuesday night." He was re- ferring to the varsity-freshman game which was disappointing to him as far as the varsity's play was concerned. 4y I Renfrew, however, didn't seem to be too worried as Berenson's linemates, Cortistine and Wilkie, performed beyond expectations in their first WCHA test. "Wilkie is going to be a great one," he said, "and how about Coristine, and Pendlebury, and Kelly, and Carl White, and ..." "They all did a good job." It was a happy evening for the Wolverines who have sights on the WCHA championship. For the fifth time in a row they had han- dIed Michigan Tech on Michigan ice and for the second season in a row they had opened the league season with a victory. And with the pre-series goal of "at least a split" in the bag tonight they go after the sweep. .Game time is 8 p.m. I FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING CONVENIENCE 13 s iTe .
