BY JOHN SCOCHIN i i 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.

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. --, ti .+,. : Z .,.

John Mummey, a former high school All-America at fullback, re- turns to handle the quarterback- ing duties together with his 5.7 yard rushing average. At the key role of fullback will be Dave Katterhenrick, a bruis-, ing 210-pounder who can plowi through a line with the best off them.

The whole 13-man Purdue back- field is back with halfback Tom Bloom, a 6.2 yards per carry rush- er, speedy Dave Miller and 213-lb. fullback Roy Walker slated for 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.

TODAY'S GAMES Philadelphia at Chicago St. Louis at San Francisco Houston at Los Angeles (Only games scheduled) By DAVE GOOD 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.

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 FILECCIA BROTHERS 1109 South University In South Campus Village 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!
