THE MICHIGAN DAILY Timberlake Tops Quarterback List I I. I By Charlie Towle - By JIM TINDALL "If everybody is well, we will be solid at quarterback this season," said offensive backfield coach Hank Fonde yesterday. This statement was prompted by last week's injuries to quarter- backs Bob Timberlake and Dick Vidmer. Vidmer was put out of action for a good part of the sea- son with a broken bone in his leg, while Timberlake suffered a leg bruise. Although Timberlake did not miss any practices this week, he was not operating at full ca- pacity until yesterday. Fonde pointed out that, "Tim- berlake is operating at almost 100 per cent, and will start the closed scrimmage today." A Notch Above Examining the quarterback pros- pects, Fonde explained, "Timber- lake, Frosty Evashevski and Rick' Volk are a notch above the other, candidates in all phases of quar- terbacking, and specifically what is demanded by the type of offense that we run. They all pass well and are capable of doing the job." he .said. Timberlake, with two varsity seasons already under his belt, is presently calling the signals for the first team. "He is a real fine player, and he can .throw as far as anyone in the Big Ten," Fonde said yesterday. The 6-4, 215 pounder, has also proven himself to be a capable runner over the past seasons. Behind him is Evashevski who, according to Fonde "is seasoned to playing under pressure by his past two years on the team." Evashevski played 55 and 58 min- utes respectively in his last two seasons with the Wolverines. Volk for Defense Third in the chain of command is Volk, a sophomore, and scholas- tic All-America. Although Fonde spoke highly of Volk's offensive skills, he indicated that, "present plans are *to use Volk as primarily a defensive player." Also contending for the quarter- back slot are Pete Hollis and Wally Gabler. Hollis is a junior who has yet to see action in a game, but has shown well in prac- tice. He hails from Detroit where he was listed as an all-city, all- state, All-America quarterback. Gabler, a junior college All- Amzerica at New Mexico Military Institute, is a junior this season, If Vidmer is able to return this season, the quarterback picture will really look bright. The sopho- more from Jeanette, Pennsylvania was one of the outstanding players last spring and was the second- ranked passer at the time of his injury. I. Birth of a Sport SPORTS SHORTS: Osuna, IBneno Win In Opening Round By The Associated Press FOREST HILLS, N.Y. - Rafael Osuna of Mexico and Maria Bueno of Brazil had Latin rhythms to their strokes yesterday in open- ing defense of their national sin- gles tennis championships with ef- fortless, straight-set victories. We Want You The' Daily sports staff still needs you. That's right, there's still time to become a member of this highly-touted group. So stop hesitating, finish reading the paper, and then dash over to the Daily office to see Gary Weiner. IOsuna, quick as a jungle cat and utilizing a deft touch, breez- ed past Claude de Gronckel of Belgium 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 without once losing a service. Miss Bueno, ten pounds plump- er than a year ago and perhaps half a step slower, showed no loss of her rapier-like shots in over- whelming Jenny Morris of South- ern Rhodesia 62, 6-1 in a second round match. Both drew opening byes. Second-seeded Dennis Ralston, one of the big two in America's D Davis Cup defense, won a first f round victory in the sweltering heat and complained "I was lousy." "If I don't get better I won't last long," the gifted but erratic young man from Bakersfield Calif., grumbled after winning over Terry Ryan of South Africa, 10-8, 6-3, default. After losing the second set,Ryan told the umpire he was unable to continue. "I couldn't breathe," the hand- some, dark-haired South African Tsaid.

McElhenny to Lions DETROIT -- National Football League veteran halfback Hugh Mc- Elhenny has been signed and add- ed to the Detroit Lions' 1964 roster, Coach George Wilson an- nounced yesterday. McElhenny, once a star halfback with the San Francisco 49ers and recently released by the New York Giants, reported to the Lions' training camp Thursday. Wilson said one unidentified player was placed on waivers to make room for McElhenny. Stories about the New York World's Fair appeared throughout the summer on the news, entertainment, fashion, food, building and comic pages of the nation's newspapers and magazines. Now, with the Labor Day weekend bringing to a close another summer of travel, the biggest tourist trap in the country makes it to the sports page of The Michigan Daily. Why? As one of the millions who shelled out his greenstuff at the $2 window at the entrance I found in the fair one of the most concentra1ed areas of competitive sports since the Rome Olympics. Most of these "sports" were of the non-formal variety, of course. There was the contest between the various food dispensaries on the fair grounds over who could charge the highest price for the least amount of food. The Granada Restaurant in the Spanish Pavilion led the field at the time of my visit with its entry of a bowl of cauliflower for a$1.35. Another contest, this one meant for the fair sightseer instead of the exhibitors, took the form of that old children's puzzle book favorite: how many cats (or what have you) can you find in this picture? Only in this game the object is to find Coca-Cola bottles. The Coca-Cola Co. has set up a rather elaborate, detailed display of scenes from various parts of the world; you enter a room decked out like the lalaysian jungle, another like the Austrian Alps, and still another like a ship erusing off Rio ,de Janerio. Coca-Cola Ever ywhere .. .In each of these beautifully conceived scenes the Coke company has cleverly concealed a yet undetermined number of Coca-Cola bottles. For instance, you might spot a monkey swinging throudh the Malaysian jungle with that familiar greenish glass container hugged tightly in his furry paw. I counted 37 such bottles, but I'm sure this is nowhere near the record. There are many more of these informal competitions-outguess- ing wind shifts while walking by the huge and somewhat uncontained fountains of the fair, walking racing from the entrance at gate one to the Hell Driver's Arena to the Balentine Beer Old New York exhibit-a stop is permitted here-and back to the gate, all which add to the competitive atmosphere of the fair. The World's Fair is not all informal sports, however. It has introduced one formal game. This game is located at the General Motors Pavilion, though lesser versions of it are being played con- tinuously at all the major payilions. The game requires 1,000 to 10,000 players. It can be plaed by players of any age and sex. It is best played around the outside of 4 four-sided stricture with walls at. least 100 yards long. Name of the Game ... The name of the game has never been formally announced, but names like Lemming, Keep-Up-With-The-Joneses, or Life are apropos. To start the game you get in line to see the G.M. Futurama exhibit and pick out a passive part of the crowd, for instance a group of touring Boy Scouts from Kansas, as a reference. The object of the game is to put as much distance between you and your reference as is possible in the time allowed, usually about an hour. Distance is counted in human bodies. No equipment.is permitted, although little old ladies . have been known to smuggle knitting needles into the game. The, game combines an element of chess- tactical positioning, of football-cutting and blocking, and of bull- fighting-the chance of getting trampled. If you are planning a trip to the World's Fair next year and would like .to compete, you can practice at registration, the Michigan Stadium johns or the meal lines in any of the University's dorms. But there's nothing like the real thing-the elbows flying, choking dust covering the playing field, the screams of the fallen and the smell of blood in your nostrils. ,, -Daily-Kamalakar Rao SENIOR QUARTERBACK Bob Timberlake takes aim and Wol- verine fans are hoping that he will be on target this season. The 6'4", 215-pounder from Franklin, Ohio is considered to be one of the outstanding backs in the Big Ten. ATHLETIC BOARD: Regents To Hear Election Plan 4 By SCOTT BLUCH A student originated proposal to change the election procedures for candidates to the Board in Con- trol of Intercollegiate Athletics will be presented to the Regents at their Sept. 18 meeting. The plan calls for change which would. give all students the right to vote in the election, and also recommends that all candidates be required to petition for the office. Regents' Bylaw 29.08 now states that the Athletic Manager's Coun- cil places two candidates on the ballot and anyone else interested in running for the Board must have a petition signed by 300 male students. In former elections, only Howe Signs For $30,000 DETROIT (P) - Gordie Howe, the National Hockey League's all- time scoring leader, has signed his 1964-65 contract, the Detroit Red Wings said yesterday. The 36-year-old right winger closed out 1963-64 campaign with a lifetime total of 566 goals for. 18 big league seasons. His 545th last November broke the NHL record set by 'Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens. A Red Wing spokesman said he could not reveal Howe's salary. However, he added "it is generaily assumed that Howe's pay is in the $30,000 bracket. male students have been allowed to vote in the election. The proposal was originally re- quested, by Student Government Council last April, then sent to Vice-President for' Student Affairs James A. Lewis. After slight re- visions were suggested by Athletic Director H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, the altered proposal was returned and approved by SGC at its first meet- ing of the fall last Wednesday. Lewis will present the motion to the Regents for approval at the September meeting. The original proposal was made by SGC April 18 by Administra- tive Vice - President H o w a r d Schechter whose motion required each candidate to petition for the position of student representative to the Board. The proposal also gave all stu- dents a right to vote for the office. The proposal was adopted by Council with an amendment re- questing that any student be elig- ible to petition for the position. At present, the candidate must be in his fourth term at the Univer- sity. SGC President Tom Smithson wrote to Lewis on April 13, in- forming him that SGC had adopt- ed the resolution by the necessary two-thirds vote and that it recom- mended the proposal to the Re- gents. During the summer, Lewis con- sulted Crisler who recommended some minor changes in the SGC proposal. On June 30, Lewis sent Smithson Crisler's suggested changes to the SGC proposal.; Smithson pointed out to Lewis that it was necessary for the en- tire Council to discuss the issue. Lewis replied that this would be acceptable and that he would 'wait until Council returned from its summer vacation. On Wednesday night, Schechter presented Crisler's recommended changes to his proposal. Crisler said that he felt the two candi- dates should be "undergraduate male students in their fourth term in the University." He agreed with the Schecter motion that the en- tire student body elect the stu- dent representative and that every candidate have a petition signed by 300 students. With the backing of Crisler, Smithson and Lewis both express- ed confidence that the proposed change will be adopted. If adopt- ed, the new bylaw will be in effect in next spring's election of a stu- dent representative to the Ath- letic Board. Ticket Sales Hit New Peak Ticket manager Don Weir an- nounced yesterday that 16,000 Athletic Coupons have already been sold this fall in comparison with only 15,000 all last season. Weir also pointed out that last year's coupon 'included admission to basketball games while this year's do not. Coupons will remain on sale next week at the ticket window of the Athletic Adminis-' tration Bldg. for $12.

Timberlake is getting rave notices from football prog- nosticators across the country as a potential All-Big Ten quarter- back. The first edition of this season's Football News ranks Tim- berlake on the first All-Big Ten team ahead of Northwestern's All-American Tom Meyers. Timberlake could possibly make the fans forget all about the flashy sophomore Vidmer this season. But. it will take the coming three seasons to see what the injury has done .to Vidmer. Many think that the Pennsylvania high school All- American has too many signs of greatness to be thrown by sitting out a season. But as in the stories of Chandler and Evashevski, it's hard to tell what will happen until it's all over.
