(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first

Ten Conference stacks up for the
coming season.)
BY JOHN SCOCHIN

It's last year all over again: in
the Big Ten at least. Despite aj
Hour fresh new season and an added
cast of characters the power-,
houses of old, Ohio State and
ctive' Michigan State are again takingy
possessive glances at that Big TenJ
grid crown.
Both the Buckeyes and the,
Spartans have a strong nucleus
C left over from last year's power-;
houses,vtogether with enough tal-
ent in the right places to rate a
notch above the most likely pur-
suers; Purdue, Iowa, Northwest-
ern and Minnesota.
Bob Ferguson, the greatest of
the many great Ohio State full-
backs, is gone but Coach Woody
Hayes has once again come up with
a quartet of backs to supply the
irresistable force of another Buck-
five yards per carry last year in
30 attempts as a fill-in for All-
America Ferguson.
In Paul Warfield and Bob Klein
the Buckeyes have an unbeatable
halfback combination. Warfield is
a touted pre-season All-America,
who scooted 420 yards last year in
77 carries and ravaged Michigan
with his breakaway sprints in the
final game of the season.
The Buckeye offensive line is
once again big, veteran, and mo-
bile. Only at left end where Chuck
Bryant excelled will the Buckeyes
field a new face. Five starters
from the defensive lineup picked
up their sheepskins, however, All-
America Mike Ingram among
them. The replacements will come
from a host of veterans and the
cream of a Buckeye freshman
team rated one of the nation's
best.

In the old Tom Matte tradition,

John Mummey, a former high

heavy duty.
The Boilermakers lost five key
linemen but center Don Paltani,
end Forest Farmer, and All-Amer-
ica candidate Don Brumm, a 6'3"
218-lb. tackle, are the concrete
foundation of another staunch de-
fense.
Injury ruined Iowa last year, but
a healthy Hawkeye aggregation
will be back in the thick of the
title struggle in 1962.
Quarterback Matt Szykowny,
who threw for over 1,000 yards last
season, is back to lead the Hawk-
eye attack. Halfback Larry Fer-
guson, recovered from a knee in-
jury after gaining consensus All-
America honors in 1960, is a strong
breakaway threat. Fullback Joe
Williams, who filled in for Fer-
guson as a halfback last season
and scored nine touchdowns, is
back at his old position.
Sammie Harris and Paul Krause
have also returned for halfback
duties. Harris, with his great speed
was the team's top pass receiver
while Krause averaged 4.7 yards
on the ground. Sophomore Willie
Smith, a 6', 180-pounder, who
runs the 100 in 9.6, is a newcomer
who bears watching.
The Hawkeye line, however, was
weakened by the loss of three in-
terior linemen who received All-
America mention, and adequate
replacements must be found before
Iowa can emerge as a top rated
contender.

On paper, the U. S. Track and
Field Federation and its backers-
including all competitors in high
schools, junior colleges and uni-
versities-are outlaws in the eyes
of the world.
But according to Don Canham,
Michigan track coach and one of
the organizers of the Federation,
the rebel group holds the upper
hand in its power struggle with
the Amateur Athletic Union, still
the official representative of track
and field here.
The AAU can blacklist USTFF
competitors from any internation-
al competition, including t h e
Olympic Games, with the backing
last week of what Canham calls
a routine decision of the parent
body of all sports, the Internation-
al Amateur Athletic Federation.
Scratch Everybody
"Let them (the AAU) make
everybody in the country ineligi-
ble," Canham urged. "That's about
what they're going to have to do,'
and it's fine with us. The more
men they declare ineligible, the
less power they have."
Canham returned last week
from the IAAF's 23rd congress in
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, where dele-
gates confirmed "full and unanim-
ous confidence and support" of
the AAU and resolved "that ath-
letes of no member of the IAAF
be permitted to compete in the
U. S. except in open meets con-
ducted or sanctioned by the
Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States."
Canham says this is just so
much hogwash.
A FACE IN THE CROWD - The big man with the little baseball
cap and the wavy arms coaches football for a living. He's pretty
good at it too, for his Ohio State Buckeyes, defending Conference
titlists, are once again the top contenders for the grid crown.

Are you one of those who predicted a Liston knockout in 2:06 of
the first round? If so, the Daily offers you a brand new battlefield
to test the sharpness of your mental prowess. You are being chal-
lenged to another match, one that will prove that you are really the
mental whiz you and everyone else thinks you are, or that you are
simply a flash-in-the-pan fluke who was flattened when the pres-
sure was' on.
All you have to do to prove your wizardry once and for all is to
stop in at The Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard St., and pick up your
official Grid Picks entry blank. Winners are showered in glory and
in fabulous prizes. They will be walking so tall that they'll have to
bend underneath the doorway of the Michigan Theatre with their
free tickets. In case of ties, the winner is the one with the closest
prediction of the Michigan-Nebraska game score. Good luck, it's a.
prerequisite to winning.
THIS WEEK'S GAMES
There are still huge linemen
and swift backs this year at Michi-
gan State, only not as many of
them. The Spartans lost 14 reg-
ulars from their starting offensive
and defensive teams but with cer-
tified stars like Dave Behrman,
Jim Bobbitt, Ed Budde, Matt Snor-
ton and Ernie Clark in the line to-
gether with George Saimes, Sher-
man Lewis, Dewey Lincoln and
Pete Smith in the backfield, Coach
Duffy Daugherty is more than op-
timistic.
Behrman, a 250-lb. All-America
at tackle last year, anchors an im-
posing line at center. Bobbitt and
Budde at 247 and 243 are a quar-
ter ton of trouble at the tackle
slots, while Clark and Snorton as
defensive ends are among the Big
Ten's best.
Fleet fullback Saimes, the team
captain, was last year's backfield
hero and a pre-season All-Amer-
ica this fall. Lewis and Lincoln,
true breakaway threats, followed'
right behind Saimes in the Spar-
tan rushing statistics, and quarter-
back Smith who directed the Spar-
tan machine as a sophomore is
back with a year's experience.
Sophomore star Ron DiGravio
is back as a junior to direct a
Purdue team which has all the

really," he explained. "They up-
held their previous ruling that
visiting athletes must compete
under the group in control of the
sport in a country-and right now
that's the AAU.
"As for American athletes, this
is a domestic squabble and the
IAAF has no say over what hap-
pens here."
Canham was emphatic in his
criticism of Col. Don Hull, execu-
tive director of the AAU, who re-
ported to newsmen that the con-
vention had refused to admit
Canham, Purdue Coach Dave
Rankin and former Penn State
Coach Chick Werner (who resign-
ed to take over as executive direc-
tor of the USTFF).
Twists Facts
"Mr. Hull simply lied when he
said that we were refused admis-
sion to the council," pointed out
Canham. "At no time did we ap-
ply for admission, although we
may well have been refused if we
had applied.
"If we were going to send some-
body to the council we wouldn't
send coaches. We went and were
very successful talking to indi-
viduals. We talked to plenty of
delegates at dinners and we're in
better shape now than we ever
have been, actually,"
Canham added, however, that
as matters now stand, the AAU
seal of disapproval can prevent
U. S. runners, jumpers and throw-
ers from competing in foreign
meets, but there is nothing to
keep the outlaws from boycotting
AAU meets at home in favor of
the Federation.
Four Opposing Meets
And this is just what is sched-
uled to happen. The Federation
has already set four meets in di-
rect opposition to the correspond-
ing AAU meets: cross country,
Nov. 22; men's indoor, Feb. 23;
women's indoor, March 8 or 9;
men's outdoor, June 21-22.
Canham has insisted since last
September, when a poll of college
coaches revealed over 90 per cent
in favor of a new organization,
that the AAU has no legs to stand
on.
"We (the USTFF) have all the
athletes, the coaches and the fa-
cilities. It's like somebody trying
to tell General Motors how to
make cars," he commented.
NCAA Has Say
Canham surmised that the over-
whelming majority of track and
field stars would compete in the
Federation meets, since the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion, the major stockholder in the
USTFF, will prevent its athletes
from going to the AAU meets.
"There aren't any Articles of
Alliance between the two any
more," Canham explained. "They
just can't compete for the AAU."
Support at the AAU meets will
likely come from the Armed
Forces, which Canham says are
not at liberty to join the Federa-
tion, and from neutral indepen
dents, which don't want to risk
going with the new group.
Neutrals Have Choice
"I don't know which way Hayes
Jones and some of those others
are going to go," commented Can-
ham. "Of course if they're really
neutral they won't compete in
either meet."
As the USTFF is set up now,
voting delegates represent the
NCAA, high schools (which voted
35 to 2 this summer to join), jun-
ior colleges and national competi-
tive groups, the National Track
and Field Association, allied non-
competitive groups, and the Armed
Forces (if they join).
The stage was set last year for
a possible all-sport movement
away from the AAU. Coaches in
wrestling, basketball, judo, gym-
nastics and swimming have also
expressed dissatisfaction with the
AAU and have been meeting to-
gether.
But the USTFF is the pioneer
organization. "I guess the cross
country meet will be the first
showdown," Canham predicted.
"Then when the time comes we
petition the IAAF for recognition.
We've got 90 per cent of the ath-
letes right now. All we need is the
other 10 per cent."
Platoons
Anyone?
Elliott's eleven is primed and
eager for the Nebraska opener
Saturday, but it would hate to
suffer the indignity of being name-
less! (They) beg you to join
the Name the Platoons Contest
and provide the first stringers, the
second string offense, and the de-
fensive squad with descriptive
names by Friday night.
Entries may be turned in at
the sports desk. To the fortunate
fellow or clever coed who creates
the winning name will go a pair
of free passes to the Michigan
Theatre. Remember, Friday night
is the deadline for the contest.
Winners will be announced next
week.
