And this time, it be forgiven. Tougher This Year nois had all the tools on, it has them in even abundance and ferocity on. ig the list is, of course. ica center-linebacker Dick whom at. least one writer in's own Tommy Harmon October issue of Argosy maagazine) sees as winner of the Heisman trophy. Butkus' uncanny ability to be where the ball is, no matter where it is, paid off to the tune of 145 tackles i 10ngames last season and 97 stops in seven games as a sophomore. Flanking Butkus are Wylie Fox. a 201-pound converted fullback at left guard, and 220-pound Ed Washington in the right slot. No Injuries Fox, despite being the lightest Illini lineman, played the entire season without injury. In addi- tion, he wrested the job away from then co-captain Dick Dell- er after the first game. Fox's ability was best shown ir the Rose Bowl when he recover- ed three fumbles during Illinois 17-7 Washington triumph. Washington, who many clairr has not yet reached his full po- tential, had his finest hour dur- ing the Rose Bowl, also, when he accounted for eight tackles and threw opposing quarterbacks for losses on three occasions. Illinois has been said to bej strongest from tackle to tackle and 262-pound All-Big Ten left tackle Archie Sutton and 217- pound Bill Minor,right tackle, ac- count for much of this. Seeks All-America Sutton, giant of the team, it seeking All-America status this season. His 6'4" height makes him difficult to stop (once his march toward opposing passers has be- gun. Minor is the fastest Illinois lineman and leads the red-dog- gers over. Although he broke hi. foot after the Northwestern game last season, forcing him to mist three games, he came back in the important Wisconsin game anc proved his worth when he recov- ered a fumble on the fly and pranced 20 yards, evading would- be tacklers, before he realized that the ball had already been signal-; led dead. Despite the loss of both it. regular ends, Mike Summers ant Bill Pasko, Illinois still is strong at this position. Own Six Letters Rich Callaghan, Dave Mueller Gregg Schumacher and Ed Rus- sell have a total of six letters and sophomores Bob Trumpy ant Bo Batchelder are ready to chal- lenge the best of them. Currently, though, it appear: that Callaghan and Mueller wil be the first on the field in Illi- nois' Sept. 26 opener at Califor- nia. Callaghan, who will probabl3 become Illinois' fifth, nine -lettei man, is fast developing into one of the Big Ten's best defensive ends. Mueller is the serest-handed re- ceiver on the team and caughi seven passes for 97 yards last season. Schumacher is the speed- iest and snared nine aerials foi 133 yards. Trumpy, 6-5 and 200-pounds may also see work as defensive back and punter. He could de- velop into one of Illinois' brightesi hopes for next season. Custardo at QB Manning the quarterback slo' will be Fred Custardo, who as a sophomore last year divided tim with now-graduated Mike Talia- ferro. Custardo has a strong, quick arm and all the poise of a two- year veteran. He accounted for 24 completions and 236 yards whilt allowing only two interceptions ii 53 attempts last year. And he can run, too. His rush- ing average of 5.2 yards per carry was the best on the team. Custardo will also kick Illinois' PAT'S. Donnelly on Defense Custardo's defensive replacement is co-captain George Donnelly, already being heralded as one of the best safeties in Big Ten his- tory. Donnelly's three regular sea- A COMPLETE selection of LEVI'S ~tWLD'S ji State Street on the Campus .------- - *_- son interceptions and two Ros( Bowl steals came at critical point: in Illinois wins. Donnelly will al- so take over Jim Plankenhorn' field goal chores. Starting halfbacks this year will undoubtedly be scatback Slammin Sammy Price and wingback Ror Acks. Price was. Illinois' second lead- ing ground gainer last year, ac- counting for 381 yards in 98 car- ries for a 3.9 average. He also caught 10 passes for 09 yards. Price is a 5-11, 209-pound quickie who tours 100-yards in 9.8. Last season Acks was No. quarterback and made occasional appearances only. Yet he netteC 47 yards in 8 carries for a 5.9 average and Elliott realized tha' this kind of runner had to find a spot on the first unit. Acks Backs So Acks replaced graduated Jim- my Warren at wingback, although he will probably back up Custards as signal caller. This has been pointed out already this fall wher Custardo injured his shoulder ir practice and Acks took over th' QB slot until Custardo returned. .The Illini have two of the- strongest/ bull fullbacks in the league in Jim Grabowski and Tony Parola. Grabowski capped off a great novice season in the Big Ten by being named "Player of the Game" in the Rose Bowl after netting 125 yards on 23 carries. The 6-2, 207-pounder is a mas-, ter at spinning away from tacklers after first contact and is also seeking All-America status., Grabowski tied for high scor- ing honors in the Big Ten with six touchdowns last season. He gained a total of 616 yards - highest for an Illini since All- American J. C. Caroline gained. 1,256 in 1953. Grabowski's worth was early known to Elliott, so the latter picked Big Jim over 1962's tar scorer Al Wheatland forthe. No. I spot. Wheatland's gone, but Parole is a f'ne second unit replacement A 5-10, 194-pound plunger, Pa- rola played No. 1 during spring practice while Grabowski was .out with an injury and gained 14.9 yards for a 5.8 average during the annual intrasquad game. And that's the 1964 Illini, e team shooting for the highest prize in the nation.'

If you should spot what looks like a confederate flag fluttering from the top of the diag flag pole sometime in the very near future, don't be surprised-Ann Arbor, until now a relatively peaceful town disturbed only by occasional CORE demonstrations and panty raids, now boasts of being the rebel headquarters in the row now stirring the track world. The war of rebellion, in which the United States Track and Field Federation is trying to unseat the old guard Amateur Athletic Union as .the governing body of track and field, now lies smoldering under the impasse set up by the MacArthur agreement, but will spring forth again, Phoenix-like, from the flames of the Olympic torch. The move to Ann Arbor by the USTFF, completed late this summer, came mainly in response to an understanding inside the USTFF since its founding that the USTFF headquarters and its executive director, Charles D. (Chick) Werner, would move to the Midwest-seat of the USTFF power. From the time it was first organized in 1962 until the present, the Federation had located its headquarters in University Park, Pa., home of Penn State University. Werner, who spends much of his time flying from one USTFF strategy meeting to the next, considered a site in the Chicago area at first but finally settled on Ann Arbor "because I wanted to stay in a college town." Money Is The Root .. . Another reason for the USTFF move, for the more cynically minded amongst you, was based on purely economic considerations. Ann Arbor is the location of the Wolverine Sports Supply Co., owned and operated by Michigan's head track coach, Don Canham. Wol- verine Sports Supply does a large mail order bsness in sports equipment for various institutions in the country supporting sports programs. In the pursuit of this business, Canham has built up an enormous mailing list of around a quarter of a million The Federation mails a great deal of its promotional literature using addresses and addressing equipment provided by Canham. Previously this required three separate mailings - one mailing from University Park to Ann Ar- bor for the addresses, another' from Ann Arbor to University Park .to get the stuffings and proper cancellation, and the final mailing from University Park to the various institutions. All that " will be required for USTFF litera- ture now is one mailing. For the Federation, which is rumored not ac . to be in the best of financial shape right now, this is a con- siderable saving. Werner, in an intervie'w for this C D. (CHICK) WERNER column, gave the impression of . being a very political animal. For one who is used to talking wth Canham from which stories carrying such headlines as, "Canham Vows AAU Doom," often developed, the change in manner was some- what surprising. Werner freely admits that he has become a much more cautious interviewer since he assumed the role of executive director. "When I was track coach at Penn State I was a lot freer with my quotes, too," he says. Werner learned the art of descretion the hard way early in the life of the Federation when a quote of his, commenting on the late President Kennedy's "intervention" in the track struggle, appear- ed on the wire services as the "interference" of the President in the track struggle. What can be gleaned from talking with Werner concerning the post-Olympic period when the MacArthur track truce is terminated reveals more of'an attitude on the part of the USTFF than any really concrete facts. The attitude is that it will be Nellie-bar-the-door dur- ing this winter's indoor track season. Know Nothing Party . . The Federation plans to go along this winter just as though the AAU didn't exist-which the USTFF feels it rightly shouldn't, anyhow. If you want to look for one especially hot spot this win- ter, watch the. open competition category. Such big track names as Parry O'Brien, Hal Connolly and Dyrol Burleson are in this class as well as thousands of other independent track club mem- bers. Under the MacArthur plan it was hands off these men for the USTFF-but no more! As to whether the President will call an athletic conference to- gether as is "strongly recommended" in the MacArthur agreement, is anybody's guess. The conference-in which "representatives of the athletic groups and associations, leading sportsmen and sportswomen of the country, and such educators and writers as may be engaged in the field of sports" are expected to participate-would be for the purpose of organizing a united front for American sports. Offhand this stuff sounds like good campaign publicity for the President, but chances are that nothing would come of such a meeting. There are two reasons for pessimism about such a conference. First, because getting a united front out of two such widely diversive organizations as the AAU and the USTFF would be harder than mating a Chihuahua with a Saint Bernard, and secondly, because the idea of a united sports foundation, such as the AAU was and still partially is, runs against the basic Federation philosophy that all sports in the country should be governed as entirely separate entities. This is the way,that sports are managed in nearly all the other coun- tries of the world, and this is the way the federations want it in the United States.
