TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2,1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Elliott. By MIKE BLOCK Now that the initial shock has passed, Head Coach Bump Elliott and his staff set to work yester- day to rebuild Michigan's football fortunes.. Elliott readily admitted , that Saturday's 25-13 loss to Nebraska was a big disappointment. "Block- ing and tackling was our big prob- lem," he said. "We just didn't h a v e any worth mentioning against Nebraska." And with that he commenced to stress just that at the beginning of this week's practice sessions. Raimey Recovers He did take time out, though, to thank Providence that ace half- back Dave Raimey's shoulder in- Jury wasn't any worse than it was. Raimey was apparently as healthy as ever at practice, unaffected by the devastating gang tackle ad- Husker Bac Hurts Ankle LINCOLN, Neb. (P) - Nebraska came through its surprising 25-13 upset of Michigan Saturday with only one injury of consequence, Coach Bob Devaney said yester- day. Halfback Dennis Stuewe, who carried the ball 73 yds. on two runs and a pass reception for Nebras- ka's first touchdown Saturday, suffered a sprained ankle. Devaney said if Steuewe is unable to play against Iowa State in Nebraska's Big Eight opener it will hurt "a great deal," both offensively and defensively. AMES, Iowa () - Coach Clay Stapleton, drilling his Iowa State football team for Saturday's game at Nebraska, told his players "if you don't tighten up you'll be wav- ing at a bunch of long-gone run- ners. "Nebraska is the team I told you would be the best in the Big Eight this year," Stapleton said. "Cer- tainly there should be no doubt' about it after the way it handled Michigan. Nebraska is very strong p h ys i ca lly and fullback Bill Thornton scares me when he runs." OSU Leads AP Grid Poll By The Associated Press Ohio State's awesome show of grinding power in the season opener sent the Big Ten champion ahead of Alabama today into the No. one spot in the weekly A? college football poll. Woody Hayes' Buckeyes, un- beaten but tied once last year, started the new campaign by crushing North Carolina, 41-7, last Saturday at Columbus. Other Big Ten teams in the top 30 were Northwestern (16), Iowa (18), Michigan State (19), Pur- due (20) and Minnesota (26). Meanwhile, Nebraska climbed back into national prominence for the first time in years on the strength of its 25-13 conquest of Michigan last Saturday. Pollsters ranked the Cornhuskers 11th this week. The top ten, based on a 10-9-8, etc. point system (season records and first place votes in parenthe- Reshuffles Wolverine Forces DOWN, NOT OUT? Underdogs Blast Big Ten Prestige ministered to him by half a dozen: Cornhusker defenders in the sec-1 and half. That maneuver cost9 Nebraska 15 yds. for piling on, but it was small consolation to1 the Wolverines, as it disengaged1 Raimey for the remainder of the battle. However, all was not sweetness and light in the case of senior' tackle John Houtman. In the midst of what Elliott called "his best game yet," Houtman, playing on offense, abruptly found him- self underneath much of the Husker line, and had to be helped off the field with a badly hurt knee. "I'm very worried about him," quoth Elliott, "and it seems more than likely that he'll be out of action this Saturday against Army, if not longer." The only other casualty to re- port was fullback Roger Schmitt's bad back (caused by a collision with a Nebraska knee), but, as of now, this isn't causing the head coach too much concern. Big Shakeup At least Houtman, and very probably a few other Wolverine starters, will be relegated to the status of former starters for the upcoming tiff with the Black Knights of the Hudson. Elliott an- nounced his intention to shake up the lineup yesterday, although he said that he and his assistants hadn't decided upon the new starters as yet. But he did prom- ise to reveal them later in the week, possibly Wednesday or Thursday. "We'll find out who the fight- ers are this week," he declared, with something more than dis- interest in his voice. "Even though the players on our first, second, and third squads will be juggled, the platoon system will still be in effect. "Because of our poor play in the beginning of the Nebraska game, we never could effectively alter- nate teams. When we got behind, we had to leave the first-stringers in there, and didn't get a chance to see what the third team looked like in a game. "Of course, many of the younger players had the pre-game jitters, but this doesn't nearly account for the lack of sharpness on the field." Not that Bad And what about the passing game? "The passing of our quarterbacks wasn't really as bad as the statistics chow," Elliott noted. "It's just that I've never seen so many good passes dropped in my life. "Every time one of our passes was about to be received, the end was hit hard enough to cause him to lose control of the ball. All we can do is keep throwing and hope that they'll be able to hold on." Asked about his frequent switch- ing of quarterbacks, Elliott re- plied, "Every time we sent one of our four quarterbacks in, it was with a specific purpose in mind. We simply wanted to take ad- vantage of the better talents of each man," Unfortunately, those combined talents didn't quite turn the trick. And although one of the signal- callers, soph Bob Timberlake, ran very much like a fullback, Elliott has no plans to play him anywhere but quarterback. Practice Notes Elliott's charges went through light drills yesterday and spent time looking over what Army's offense will likely throw against them Saturday. Coach Paul Dietzel, new this year after coming from LSU, will employ his familiar three platoon system to try to avenge last year's 38-8 defeat. That was the Wolverines' third lopsided win over nonsectional foes last year. By TOM ROWLAND Big Ten football prestige suffer- ed a stiff blow to the chin last weekend as some of the Midwest's finest staggered under the on- slaught of interconference under- dogs. Case number one: Michigan State-rose-smelling, speedy, and Saimes-crumpled in the season opener out in Palo Alto, 16-13, un- der Stanford's Indian attack. And the Spartans gave it the full Big Ten effort. For instance: Coach Duffy Daugherty did the play-calling (shuffling quarter- backs Pete Smith and Charley Migyanka), the State eleven scor- ed first and threatened three oth-' er times, and Duffy explained the whole upset as a result of MSU's being "overrated." Bungle, Stumble The Green and White also did a fair share of bungling. Exam-' ples: Halfback Dewey Lincoln broke away with a Stanford kick- off and was on his way for a six- pointer when the Spartan ace en- tangled an official, got slowed down, and was nabbed at midfield; end Ernie Clark juggled a Smith1 pass in the end zone and Indian Gary Craig picked it off; and the Spartans missed two field goals, one from the 12 and the other from the 15. Big Ten hurt case two: Michi- gan, not expected to see the top of the Big Ten but still rated to take command of Nebraska in the open- er Saturday, didn't. The Blues' 25-13 defeat was ac- counted to a flashy exhibition of errors-which will have to be ton- ed down before the Wolverines hatch any more hopes for the '62 season. Purdue, Michigan State, Ohio State, etc., are upcoming. Meekly, Sickly Of course, the Wolverines hadn't counted on an "injured" Corn- husker named Bill Thornton who came off the. bench to pace the Nebraska attack. Thornton dash- ed and wriggled for two TD's and led the Cornhusker blocking. And more conference scars up in Minneapolis: Minnesota's de- fense stifled Johnny Roland and his Missouri grid company, but the Gopher offensive machine couldn't keep the pace. Result: naught. Missou battled Minnesota to a 0-0 deadlock, but only on the effort of two Tiger goal-line stands on its tow and one yard stripes. Roland, who had scored three' touchdowns against California the' weekend before, couldn't get Mis- souri inside the Minnesota 27. The Tigers missed on a field goal at- tempt from the 38 early in the game. The Gophers were in their first test this year without Sandy Stephens. Duane Blaska handled the signal-calling chores and sparked the Minnesota drive that ended when Blaska was stopped short at the Missouri one on fourth down. It appears as if the Gophers will not be entirely lacking air power this year. They completed eight for 17 via the air lanes for 106 yards Saturday. And again on the West Coast: Washington stymied Big Ten op- ponents .for the second week in a row with a 28-7 win over Illinois. Last week the Westerners stale- mated Purdue, 7-7. A Tisket, a Tasket The Illini, strictly on an under- dog basis again this fall (they were 0-9 a year ago), were scored upon in every quarter as Washington picked up its third straight win over the Orange and Blue since they first played in 1950. But it wasn't all subglorious in- famy on the Big Ten scene Satur- day. Ohio State rolled, 41-7, over North Carolina, Iowa downed Ore- gon State, 28-8, and Indiana sailed past Cincinnati, 26-6. And best of all: Wisconsin 69, New Mexico State 13. Pro Grid Standinigs NFL WesternFDivision W L T Pct. Pts.

The homer barrage backed bril- liant pitching by 35-year-old southpaw Billy Pierce, who blanked the hapless Dodgers on three hits to give the surging Giants the lead in the best of three-game series. It was the Dodgers' third straight shutout loss and extended their string of scoreless innings to 30. Mays, whose homer against Houston Sunday forced this play- off, enjoyed a perfect day at bat this sunny afternoon and won the major league home run crown in the process. He sent the Giants off winging with a two-run smash in the first inning off Sandy Koufax. When he slugged his second, off Larry Sherry in the sixth, Willie took the 1962 title with 49 since this play- off counts in season statistics. Mays singled in the third and drew a walk in the eighth when he also stole a base to cap his day. Harmon Killebrew of Minne- sota, the American League leader, finished his season's work with 48 homers. % Now the series moves to Los An- geles where the Giants could cap- ture the flag with another triumph in the game starting today.

BIG TEN PRACTICE NOTES: MSU Demotes Behrman to Third String By The Associated Press EAST LANSING-Coach Duffy Daugherty demoted several key players yesterday, expressing his ire at the 16-13 loss to Stanford in the Michigan State football opener Saturday. Daugherty was particularly dis- pleased by the play of the first. line, as shown by the game movies., Dave Behrman, 253-lb. All-Amer- ica center, was demoted to third string. Jim Kanicki, just recently shifted from tackle, was named to the first unit and Tom Jordan to' the second., Starting junior guard Charlie; Brown was demoted to the third unit. Herb Paterra was moved up to first string and John Walsh to the second unit. First string tackle Jim Bobbitt will be out for at least 10 days with an ankle sprain. Charlie Migyanka, second string quarterback, suffered a severe hip bruise while broadjumping yes- terday in a physical. education class and his playing status for Saturday is doubtful. * * * LAFAYETTg-Quarterback Ron DiGravio and co-captain and end Forest Farmer were back in uni- form yesterday for the first time since being injured in Purdue's opening game against Washington. Although both were withheld from contact, coaches said they' should be ready for action against Notre Dame at South Bend Satur- day. * * * EVANSTON - The return to form of Northwestern sophomore Bob Puette of Clevland highlight- ed yesterday's practice as the Wildcats prepared for Saturday's game with Illinois. Puette, the Wildcats leading ground gainer in spring practice, is back in top physical condition after being sidelined the past two weeks with a back injury. Assistant Coach Bruce Beatty, who scouted Illinois in its game against Washington, warned that the Illini are much improved over last year. * * * MINNEAPOLIS -Minnesota's Gophers, held to a scoreless tie by Missouri Saturday although they got inside the five-yd. line twice, spent part of yesterday's practice working on plays to punch the ball over the enemy goal. Warmath made two changes on his first two units. Giant junior tackle Carl Eller, a 245-pounder, was elevated to the first team at left tackle with Milt Sunde drop- ping to No. two. Tony Kehl moved up to second-unit right guard. * * * CHAMPAIGN-Coach Pete El- liott juggled personnel in his first two teams yesterday as Illinois launched work for its Big Ten football opener at Northwestern. Five players were promoted to starters-left end Thurman Walk- er, left tackle Bob Easter, right guard Ed Washington, right end Rich Callaghan and fullback Mike Summers. The Illini were in fairly good shape after their 28-7 loss at Washington. Tackle Bob Scharbert has a knee bruise and guard Neal Anderson a slight shoulder sepa- ration. rao. * * * MADISON - Coach Milt Bruhn ran his Wisconsin football charges through a one-hour loosening up drill yesterday and then gave the Badgers a rest, well deserved after Saturday's 69-13 victory over New Mexico State. Halfback Billy Smith, Big Ten 60-yd. sprint champion, returned to action after missing Saturday's game. * * * BLOOMINGTON - Indiana, sporting a 2-0 slate in non-con- ference football play, reviewed de- fensive assignments in a light workout yesterday in preparation for its Big Ten opener Saturday at Wisconsin. - "Now we'll-findwhat kind of a football team we are," said Coach Phil Dickens. "We haven't played anyone close to Wisconsin's class." Dickens said his scout, who watched the Badgers pummel New Mexico State Saturday, called the Wisconsin team one of the school's best he'd seen in 18 years. * * * IOWA CITY-The Iowa football squad worked out in sweatsuits yesterday. Hard work starts today in preparation. for Saturday's game with Southern California. Coach Jerry Burns said he was fairly well pleased with Iowa's de- fense last week, felt the passing attack was coming along very well, but "our runners didn't show their true value." * * * COLUMBUS - UCLA will play host to Ohio State's top-ranked Bucks next Saturday, and the Bruins' new look has Coach Woody Hayes worried. He has to set de- fenses for at least two offenses- professional - type T - formation, with the wide ends and slot backs. After using his halfbacks on only 11 of 63 rushing play in Saturday's 41-7 win over North Carolina, and having three of 13 passes intercepted, Hayes sald, "Passing is good if it works. If it doesn't. then you're in trouble. But we know we can pass, for passes were key plays in several of our scoring drives. And we know our halfbacks can run when we want to turn 'em loose. We'll wait for the right spots." New York Minnesota Los Angeles Detroit Chicago Cleveland Baltimore Boston Kansas City Washington 96 91 86 85 85 80 77 76 72 60 66 61 76 76 77 82 85 84 90 101 Pat.

Now this rule aroused the anger of some business staff and editorial staff, especially the city editor, who wanted to try their amateur hand along with the rest of the campus. We did, however, neglect to make any rule about relatives of Daily staff members, feeling that they have few friends in Ann Arbor, let alone relatives. So when cute little Donna Andrews, wife of Associate SOlorts Editor Dave Andrews, brought her picks in, we let her enter because first of all we didn't have a rule against it, and secondly (blush) we didn't think she would do very well, having picked such stupid teams as Nebraska. So naturally when the final count was in she had picked 15 right and won the two tickets by being the only one of five with that score to have picked Nebraska. At last word she was going to take baby daughter Kathy to the show and leave daddy Dave at home because he picked only 12 iight out of 20. But this week is a new contest and we have 20 more tough games for you to pick. The winner this week will not only get two tickets to the Michigan Theatre, but also a free subscription to The Football News, a national weekly football newspaper.

Brown, 26, was sitting dazed on the canvas when the referee stepped over to raise his right glove at the end of the six-round bout. He had been downed by a crash- ing left hook and a short right to the Jaw from opponent Linton John. Brown fell heavily, hitting his head on the canvas, but was saved by the bell.
