RTT ' THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBIR 12,1964 EAH AE 1 i THROUGH THE BULL'S EYE by Bill Bullard Yanz on the Sidelines After .Five Grid Seasons John Yanz will be leaving University hospital sometime today or orrow. When he leaves, he'll be walking on crutches and he'll r play football again. With one play Saturday his hopes of finishing out the season i the team he has worked with for five years were destroyed. n sat out his senior year with torn ligaments and cartilage suf- d in his first game of last season. Granted another year of eligi- y, he had become a stalwart as "a first-string guard on the Mich- Y defensive platoon. Trophy Explosion Strikes 'M' Display Cases "I went so far with the team," John said from his mechanized ospital bed. "It's disappointing not being able to finish up the eason. Especially if the team goes to the Rose Bowl.. ." John recalled the kickoff play on -which he was injured. Just fore he was hit from the side by 217-lb. Illini tackle Bill Minor, he d planted his right leg in an inflexible position. Right away he ew his leg was badly hurt and he'd be out for the season. It turned t to be a seriously torn ligament in his right leg. Taken into the ker room where ice packs were placed on his leg, he listened to e rest of the game on the radio. After the game he was, taken to e hospital. And then there was plenty of time to think over what d happened in between visits from numerous friends. The injury ended John's collegiate career. It also ended any oughts John may have had in the back of his mind about playing ,::............:...pro football. But he's still going through with plans to be married at the end of the month. John's case is not unique. Al- "-*ready Dick Vidmer, Jack Clancy, ~' ..;4:John Rowser, Rich Hahn, and j Barry Dehlin have been knocked out of action for the season for :'{: ,various physical reasons. But all but Hahn and Yanz have some eligibility left. And Hahn may still have one chance left to play if the team goes to the Rose Bowl :nd he can get back into shape in :::f "::^ r,.tim e. John started out his senior year in the fall of 1963 as one of t h e veteran standouts Coach Bump Elliott was counting on. In pre-season depth charts, he was put at the starting right tackle spot ahead of 6'3", 220-1b. sopho- JOHN YANZ more, Bill Yearby. This made the two linemen about identical in ature and size. In the opening game against Southern Methodist, e *as only in the game for seven or eight plays before he was jured and was forced to the sidelines for that season. John missed spring practice but worked out with weights all pring and summer to strengthen his leg. As John was considered somewhat of a question mark due to his injury prior to the start of this season, he was listed on the third-string in pre-season estimates. But he didn't stay there long. By the time of the Navy game he was making fans sit up and take notice as he spent most of the afternoon in the Navy backfield harassing All-American quarterback Roger Staubach. Before the Michigan-Illinois game, Coach Pete Elliott commented hat the Wolverines had suffered injuries that would have crippled n ordinary team. Now with Yanz out for the season, the team has ost another key ballplayer and the task of defeating Iowa and Ohio tate has been made that much more difficult. GRID SELECTIONS Are you superstitious, do you believe all that stuff about Friday the 13th? Are you afraid to walk under ladders, or have black cats walk in front of you? Could it be an omen that this week's grid selections are due at The Daily office at 420 Maynard St. by midnight on Friday the 13th. Don't let the date scare you off, enter this week's contest. The winner will receive two free tickets to the Michigan Theatre which is now showing "Send Me No Flowers," and becomes eligible for the grand prize at the end of the year. THIS WEEK'S GAMES By CHUCK VETZNER To the victors go the spoils, but at Michigan, there are just too many spoils. The "leaders and best" have been champions of the Westi so many times and in so many sports that there isn't enough space to exhibit all the souvenirs and tro- phies garnered in the long, il- lustrious , history of Wolverine athletics. The momentos of victory can be seen at various places on cam- pus, from the display windows of local stores to the trophy c&ae at Yost Field House-a souvenir in its own right. Swimming prizes can be seen outside Matt Mann Pool whie most of the wrestling laurels -are at Yost. But the trophy explosion -comparable to a population ex- plosion but caused by an abun- dance of winning,. teams-has played havoc with further at- tempts to organize the yarious symbols of victory. Here, There, Everywhere Tennis loving cups arein the display case in the Athletic Ad- ministration Building. So are the golden hockey statues. But foot- ball, track and baseball mementos are located in both Yost and the Athletic Building. Of course the most famous tro- phy of all is the Little Brown Jug which Michigan won back from Minnesota just a few weeks ago. The jug, however, can't be viewed' by the public. In fact equipment manager Ron Pulliam refuses to l t c 1 J MICHIGAN OFFICIALS TRY TO DECIDE which is the real Little Brown Jug. The photographer who took this picture back in 1931 forgot to mention which was the authentic water receptacle. The men in the picture, Fielding H. Yost, Wally Weber, Benny Ooosterbaan, Jack Blott, Franklin Cap- pon, and Harry Kipke, were able to tell the difference however, and the replica is now on perma- nent display in the Athletic Administration Building. SPEED KEYS HOPES: Frosh Cagers To Meet Varsity Paul Bunyan Trophy awarded to the winner of the Michigan- Michigan State game. This prize has problems of its! own which keep it from being shown to the public. Mr. Bunyan and the base he stands on rise to a height of nine feet. Naturally there's no trophy case that can accommodate something of these proportions.j Separation When it was taken back to Ann Arbor from East Lansing last month the trophy was dismanteled into three separate pieces and transported in two cars. The prize is currently in the equipment room allowing the foot- ball players to see the fruits of their triumph. Pulliam doesn't plan to keep it there permanently but as yet he hasn't been able to think of a' better spot. He is open to suggestions, however. Among the other assorted sou- venirs not exhibited are the re- tired uniforms of four gridiron stars. Never to be worn again are Bennie Oosterbaan's 47, that of the Wistert brothers-Albert, Al- vin, and Francis-all number eleven, Tom Harmon's immortal 98, and most recently Ron Kra- mer's 87. Pulliam explained that he does not have their actual game uni- forms because these are given to seniors after their last game. In- stead he only has their extra uni- form. In the case of Tom Harmon, Pulliam doesn't even have that. It seems that several years ago Harmon and athletic director Fritz Crisler were to appear on a television program. Since Crisler was supposed to present the Wol- verine All-American with his uni- form, the late Henry Hatch, who was then equipment manager, loaned the extra uniform to the show.

Huron across from City Hull 66 -9510 hasn't been seen in Ann Arbor since. One of the most common sou- venirs is the large assortment of game balls. But recently they have not been increasing because they are given to seniors after the season. The only way Michigan gets to keep them is if the seniors don't want them or-more likely -forget co take them. Purple Pigskin The oldest ball on display dates back to 1894 when Michigan play- ed Cornell on November 24. It is quite round in shape and looks more like a huge wrinkled purple plum than like a football. Some of the other items on dis- play in the Athletic Administra- tion Building could make the cur- ator of the Smithsonian Institute jealous. There's a souvenir horseshoe from the 1902 Rose Bowl which was the first one ever played. Also shown is a battered football hel- met made out of leather and lamb's wool. The "new type of head gear" was introduced by the Spalding Company back in 1893. Ivy League Trophy One real collector's piece is a football shaped plaque from the 1930 game with Harvard. It con- tains a spike forged by Paul Re- vere and a, piece of wood from the USS Constitution. There might be other treasures which are stored away because of the lack of space. The, hope is that the new University Events Building will provide more space for the display of all the Wol- verines' loot. But as long as Michigan keeps on winning, officials will-be hard- pressed to find even more room for the ever increasing total of trophies. . I By RICK STERNf Freshman basketball c o a c Ji Tom Jorgensen is harboring no illusions of a possible victory for1 his team in the annual game witht the varsity Tuesday, Nov. 24. The freshmen have, not beaten I the "Big Boys" since 1955, and this year's varsity squad is one of the outstanding cage quintets in the nation. "Our overall strength is not as good as some of our past fresh- men teams," says Jorgensen, "but we do have some players who will help our basketball program." Jor- gensen hopes to make up for the squad's lack of size and rebound- ing power with "speed, quickness, and good ball-handling." Detroit Guards Much of the speed will come from two Detroit area guards, 6'3" Jim Pitts (no relation to the Northwestern center), and 5'11" Gerald Peaks. Jorgensen considers Pitts an "outstanding prospect,"4 pointing out that the All-Stater from Northwestern high school "has great speed and jumping ability," as well as being "a good ball-handler and a deadly shoot- er." Peaks, from Eastern high school, has also been impressive in the early weeks of practice.
