THE MICHIGAN DAILY ckers Strive to Keep Offense in Toe Read and Use Michigan Daily Classifieds By GIL SAMBERG Since Joe O'Donnell's thrilling 50-yard run from punt formation against Southern Methodist and Frank Stagg's infamous 15-yard punt against Navy last season in- terest has been focused. on Mich- igan's booting game. Although a college football team does not normally rely on its place kickers to win games-a good toe is hard to find-there are occasions when a consistent man can make the difference. This be- came all too painfully clear at last year's Michigan State game. When a drive had stalled at about the State 30-yard line with 55 seconds to go Bob Timberlake was sent in to try for the tie- breaking field goal. When the kick was short and off to the left' hopes of finally topping the Spar- tans were dashed. Last Year's Kicker Timberlake was the only place kicker used last year. He missed in his first three attempts and only broke that apparently in- visible shield between the uprights in the final game of the season against Ohio State. "We haven't been doing much in that direction up till now, but Timberlake will begin concentrat- ing on kicking probably beginning this week," says. Coach Bump. Elliott. This fall Coach Tony Mason is working with Timber- lake, Dick Sygar and Jim Seiber.

If needed, Rick Bay, Big Ten cham- pion wrestler and reserve quarter- back, is also available for booting duty. O'Donnell Gone Captain Joe O'Donnell did most of Michigan's punting last year, averaging 36.4 yards for each of his 48 punts. Other talented toes belonged to Tom Prichard and Dick Rindfuss. They averaged 35.0 and 36.8 yards for their two and four punts respectively. However O'Donnell and Prich- ard graduated last spring and Rindfuss' tender ankle will not be risked at agitating a pigskin. O'Donnell's heir apparent seems to be soph end Stan Kemp. Others mentioned "for the job are Ed Greene and halfback John Rowser. Yesterday's practice was espe- cially tough because of the 90 de- gree heat throughout the three hour session.

But he admits that he'll need a lot of practice to attain the sharpness" he had in winning his first Olym- pic crown, at Rome in 1960. "I need work, lots of it," said Webster after he, runner-up Lou Vitucci of Hollywood, Fla., and Air Force Lt. Tom Gompf of Day- ton, Ohio, were named to the men's platform team for the To- kyo games next month. Webster's coach, Dr. Sammy Lee of Anaheim, Calif., is the only man who has repeated as tower diving champ. He won in 1948 and again in 1952. Joining the three men on the Olympic team Sunday were a trio of pretty and graceful girls. Win- ner of the trials was 20-year-old Linda Cooper of San Bernadino, Calif. She outscored 23-year-old Barbara Talmage of Phoenix, Ariz., and 16-year-old Lesley Bush of Princeton, N. J., who also made the team. Ann Arbor's Micki King placed sixth in the women's 10-meter platform finals. She tallied 464.55 points. Miss Cooper garnered 531.90 points. Disciplinary Shuffling Among Pros By The Associated Press The Houston Oilers of the American Football League and the Baltimore Colts of the NFL both traded a veteran player yesterday for apparent disciplinary reasons. The Houston action involved star halfback Billy Cannon, for- mer Heisman Trophy winner, who was traded to the Oakland Raid- ers for guard Sonny Bishop, full- back Bob Jackson, and offensive end Dobie Craig. Baltimore swap- ped Lou Michaels, defensive end and field goal kicker, to the Pitts- burgh Steelers for linebacker Bill Saul and halfback Marv Woodson. Michaels had been suspended by Coach Buddy Parker last week for breaking training rules. He was soon reinstated and played with the team on Sunday. Oiler coach Sammy Baugh refused to give de- tails but it was understood Can- non was penalized twice for vio- lating the club curfew. One of Cannon's fines amounted to $1000, as compared to a normal fine of $50 for a similar infraction. TWO MEN WHO FIGURE in Michigan State's 1964 football plans are Steve Juday (23) and Dick Proesbtle (21), both quarterbacks.

This time around you'll want to keep your specs geared to Ed Cot- ton and Gary Rugg.

Don Japin- ga, Lou Bobich, Captain Charlie Migyanka, Dick Flynn, Rahn Bentley, Jerry Rush, Ron Goovert John Karpinski, etc. It's almost axiomatic that if there's something worth shouting about, Duffy's going to let the crowd in Spartan Stadium do it rather than he or his publicity men.
