OCVTAsUI/iR V31Q*V3f7T 'W fr''1DiDI NO THE MIOlZGA- -AILY THIS WEEK IN FOOTBALL: Purdue Takes on Notre Dame;- Seventh'Ranked USC at Iowa -, By JOHN SCOCRIN The Big Ten is smarting. It un- veiled the 1962 version of its foot- ball colussi and in two hours of football action last weekend the armor of Conference supremacy was soundly dented. It's time to save face. This week the Big Ten gets a chance to re- deem itself against non-confer- ence foe s. The fat satiation of overconfidence has been ripped aside-now it's time to play foot- ball--Big Ten style. Purdue vs. Notre Dame One of the big games of the day takes place in South Bend. Purdue's Boilermakers, who suf- fered a 7-7 tie with Washington in their season opener two weeks ago, take on the powerful Notre Dame Irish in a do-or-die struggle. The Huskies outran, outpassed, outplayed, but thankfully for the Boilermakers, failed to outscore Purdue when they fumbled twice; last week and upset a fine Okla- homa squad 13-7 on national television. Quarterback Daryle Lamonica is back to lead the Irish and the backfield boasts a full-fledged All- America candidate in fullback Mike Lind. Still A Lot Left The Irish suposedly lost most of their fine linemen through graduation last year, All-America guard Nick Buoniconti, among them. Last week, however, a solid Irish defense stopped Oklahoma four straight times on its attempt to score from the three yard line to preserve the victory, late in the fourth quarter. A team reborn. That's the Iowa Hawkeyes, recovered from the plague of injuries that ruined their bid for top national ranking last year. They take on seventh ranked Southern- California today at Iowa City. Fancy Matt Szykowny used his sure passing arm, his great back- field, and Iowa's new 'floating t' offense to batter Oregon State 28-8n Opening atehome this week the likes, of 1960 All-America halfback Larry Ferguson, fleet pass catcher Sammie Harris, and fullback Bill Perkins should give USC fits. Dugip Duke The Trojans got their rating by dumping pre-season power- house Duke 14-7 in their opener and coming back last week to crush SMU 33-3. Southern California's offense is sparked by quarterback Bill Neu- sen, who threw a 51 yd. scoring pass to beat Duke, and boasts a bevy of fine halfbacks in its capable attack. A somewhat lackluster Michigan State eleven, its dreams of great- ness shattered by Stanford last week, may find someone to beat Yin weak North Carolina. The Tarheels were 'upset 7-6 in their opener and humiliated last week by Ohio State 41-7. Gophers' Hour The solid defense of Minnesota and its offense, tailored to the running of halfback Bill Muncy, should get its first touchdown- and then some, when it takes on the Middies of Navy. Minnesota couldn't score but outplayed a good Missouri team in settling for a 0-0 tie last week. Joe Bellino is only a distant mem- ory for Navy and the sailors are having it tough. They beat Wil- liam & Mary 20-13 last week, but that 41-7 opening loss to Penn State was an omen of mediocrity. Oh yes, the conference still has Ohio State, so things can't be that bad. The Buckeye formula of an impregnable defense and an un- stoppable offense proved true toI form in the North Carolina vic- tory and now it's UCLA's turn to step aside. Not Quite Enough The Bruins haven't played a, game yet this fall, but they should be quite a notch below the Buck- eyes in team performance. UCLA has a solid first team line, but a definite lack of depth. The split- back T has replaced the old single wing but quarterback Ezell Single- ton is still untried. The UCLANS have fast backs in Mike Haffner, who gained 703 yards in 1961 and 9.8 sprinter Ker- Edited and Published by -0' " 9tt ian at SPORTS STAFF EDITOR-Tom Webber.

Stager's guarded optimism is due to light graduation losses and a sophomore crop as good as the one which came through in the clutch last season. Finish Fourth Stager said that Mike Pepe, Ohio State's venerable coach, has pre- dicted that Michigan will finish fourth in the Big Ten behind In- diana, Ohio State and Minnesota. With three mnonths to go before the season starts, Stager is un- sure about how quickly some of his sophomores might develop. But he is only cenceding at this point that Indiana is the only team that the Wolverines can't beat. Indiana, Big Ten champions for two straight years, should have a team that is better than last sea- son's squad which was recogniz- ed as the greatest college team :n history. DICK NELSON ...-top breaststroker M' Tankers To Rely on Sophc ED BARTSCH ... new backstroker DON BRUMM ... standout lineman in-a-row inside their own ten to set up Purdue's only touchdown.

A 11-A m e r i c a tackle candidate Don Brumm made 13 tackles while junior end Dave Ellison who made nine and I was constantly rushing the Wash- ington passer were line stand- outs. Notre Dame opened its season LARRY FERGUSON .. . All America back mit Alexander, with a fine end in 6'5" Mel Profit, but an opening game victory over OSU is too much to expect of anybody. It's Myers Again In an inter-conference struggle this week the Northwestern Wild- cats with quarterback Tom Myers take on Illinois, which lost its opener to a fine Washington team, 28-7. Northwestern didn't play last week but two weeks ago Myers tied a Northwestern passing rec- ord in completing 20 out of 24 aerials to spark a 37-20 win over South Carolina. Myers and fullback Bill Swingle should prove too much for even an improved Illini eleven as the Wildcats continue to roll. But a Memory Wisconsin won big last week, 69-13 over New Mexico State, Enough fast sophomore runners were unveiled to keep Badger par- tisans happy for some time. The New Mexico State(s) have passed, however, and now it's time to start the tough conference grind against Indiana. The Hoosiers are 2-0 with easy victories over Kansas State and Cincinnatti. Whether or not the veteran Indiana backs can score as easily against Big Ten competi- tion and particularly Wisconsin is still a question mark. By TOM ROWLAND It's the fourth year-but don't remind Duffy Daugherty. You see, up in East Lansing back-fence rumor has it that Fate floats around the Michigan State campusand every fourth year throws a hex on the rosy dreams of Spartan football glory. And under Coach Duffy's regime the facts are borne: 1954 was a 3-6 Spartan, stockcrash and 1958's end was a humiliating 3-5-1. And 1962-opening day - the Spartans pounding the turf out in Palo Alto facing Stanford. On hand: Michigan State's line, the East Lansing version of the "mon- ster mash," beefy and solid, and the flashy speed of Simes, Lin- coln, and Lewis, about the top backfield around. A lack of depth maybe, but who needs too much depth with a line that averages 225 and a backfield that can take rap- id-fire advantage of any sort of crevice in the forward wall. When the Spartans took off from Capital City airport in Lans- ing Thursday, old nemesis Fate must have been stowed away. State fell in magnificent display, 16-13, and now the sweat flows in Spar- tanville. No Effect It seems that pre-season ratings don't affect luck in MSU circles. Back in 1954 names like Earl Mor- rall, Walt Kowalczyk, Norm Mas- ters, and Dan Currie headed the State stampede, and just the New Year's before the Spartans victor- ed in the Rose Bowl over UCLA. And in 1955 the unpredictable Green and White roared back for a second Pasadena journey. In 1958, another banner year for tough luck, State had Sam Wil- liams, Blanche Martin, and Dean Look, and could only salvage three wins. But State fans can point to more examples than just. the fourth years to show why frgstration can become epidemic in Spartan foot- ball circles. They've been rated at the top of the national grid elite since 1950 and have only once (in 1952) finished there. That was in the middle of a 28-win streak un- der Biggie Munn which climaxed in 1953 when State entered the Big Ten. Cut at 28 Purdue upset the Spartans to cut the string but State still made it to Pasadena after tying with Illinois for the conference crown. Daugherty made his head coach- ing debut in 1954 when the roof fell in, but the State headmaster shoved the Spartans back into the grid limelight in 1955 when he was named Coach of the Year. They were defeated once in 1955 - by Michigan, 14-7. Purdue and Minnesota upset the MSU powerhouse in 1956-just as they did last year. And in 1957? The Spartans lost one-to Purdue. By BILL BULLARD With the loss of Big Ten cham- pions Fritz Kellerman and Don Corriere, Wrestling Coach Cliff Keen is counting on some exper- ienced juniors and inexperienced sophomores in the coming season. "You just don't replace guys like Kellerman and Corriere," Keen said, "They were among the best in the nation." Kellerman was a three-time Big Ten champion who won his last title in the 137-lb. class. Corriere, captain of last sea- son's team, captured the 167-lb. Big Ten crown last spring, Iowa on Top In that Big Ten meet, Iowa won the championship by five points over the Wolverines. Michigan's season record for dual meets was 7-2-1 in one of the most closely contested races in years. Michigan won its last Big Ten when the meet was held at Ann Arbor. Two years ago at East Championship three years ago Lansing, the Wolverines came in second to the Spartans, and did the same last season at Min- neapolis. Coach Keen's comment about the strength of the other Big Ten squads this season was: "They just keep getting stronger and stronger and stronger. But we're getting stronger too." In the 38 years that Keen has coached Michigan, his teams have finished first, second, or third in the Big Ten 31 times. TWO CHAMPIONS GRADUATE: Matmen Inexperientced We're going to have a green{ bunch," said Keen, "All the places I are wide open. We,'re going to de-1 pend heavily on sophomores." The VeteransI Two wrestlers who definitely are not green are seniors Jack^Barden and Nick Armelagos. Barden was l the Big Ten runner-up in the 177- lb. class last season. He was beaL- en by Indiana's Bruce Moroni, 3-2, in the finals. Barden will probably wrestle in the heavyweight division this season. Armelagos is the captain of this season's team after sitting out last season with an injury. "Nick's knee and leg are fully recovered now," said Keen, "I expect a great year from him." Returning Juniors Keen has several juniors who lettered as sophomores and saw° quite a bit of action last season. Among them are Carl Rhodes (123-lb. class), Ralph Bahna (123- lb. class), Jim Keen (147-lb. class),' Wayne Miller (157-lb. class), Doug Kuziak (157-lb. class), and Mike Vuocolo (177-lb. class). Gary Wil- cox, a mainstay in the 130-lb. and1 137-lb. classes as a sophomore, has dropped out of school for a year. Besides these returning letter- men, Keen has about 10 sop'o- mores who he regards as promin- ent prospects to break into the starting lineup at some time during the season. They are: Dave Doze- man (137 or 147-lb.), Lee Deitrick (137 or 130-lb.), Bill Jones (130- lb.), Tony Feiock (157 or 167-lb), Bill Carr (147-lb.), Dave Post (157 or 167-lb.), Rick Bay (157 or 167- lb.), Chiis Stowell (167 or 177-lb.), Joe Arcure (177-lb.), and Bob Spaly (heavyweight). Stager's hopes for this season are based on possibly having the best freestyle and medley relay teams in the Big Ten plus the sophomores he plans to use on these two teams. Foremost among the newcomers is Ed Bartsch. As a freshman, he bettered the varsity records for the 100-yd. and 200-yd. backstroke events and placed high in both events at the indoor and outdoor A A U national championships. Backing up Bartsch is the official varsity recordholder in the 200- yd. race, senior Mike Reissing. Soph Standout Another soph standout is Lanny Reppert. A butterfyer and individ- ual medalist, Reppert is expected to more than make up for the loss of Fred Wolf, a former Big Ten I-M champion. He will prob- ably concentrate on the I-M be- cause Stager has five juniors who are proven butterfly specialists. Stager's corps of butterflyers in- cludes Jeff Moore, Enn Mannard, Jeff Longstreth, Bob Shaefer, and Carlos Canepa who is also a dis- tance freestyler. Moore and Man- nard, Stager said, developed to the point last season where they were among the best in the country. Soph Sprinters Reppert will also swim on Mich- igan's freestyle relay team along with sophomores Jim Riutta, John Johnson, and Tom Burns. Coach Stager believes that these four should each do around 49 seconds or better for their 100-yd sprints. They will be helped in NCAA com- petition by a new rule which al- lows freestylers to do a flip turn without first touching the end of the pool with their hand. This procedure was used successfully in the Big Ten last season. Bartsch, Reppert, whoever is the best one of the sophomore free- stylers, and two-time NCAA 100- yd. breaststroke champion Dick Nelson will make up the medley relay team. Nelson commented that, "We should have about the best medley relay team in the country. If we have a freestyle sprinter who can do about 48 sec- onds for the 100, we can beat In- diana. At least it will be a good race." Nelson Supporters Supporting Nelson in the breast- stroke races will be juniors Jon Baker, a fourth place finisher at the NCAA meet at 200 yards, and Geza Bodolay, who was fifth in the Big Ten at 100 yards. Two changes in distance free- style events have been made this season. The former 440-yd. free- style event is now 560 yards and the 220-yd. event is now 200 yards. Stager said he may have to move one or two of the sprinters up to the 200-yd. freestyle to take care of the vacancy left by last season's Captain Bill Darnton.

Ave. Phone NO 3-4436 After the disastrous 1958 fall fol- lowed a so-so, 5-4 season, and in 1960 State couldn't swallow Iowa and OSU. It all boils down to this: the Spartans are always tough but when the race gets close Duffy's S-men can be counted on to blow a big game to somebody-and it's usually Purdue. Pre-season picks this fall show MSU fighting it out with the Boilermakers for top challengers to OSU and the con- ference crown. And up in East Lansing the topic of roses has come up more than once. No Underdog When the Spartans meet Pur- due this fall it will be the first time since long ago thatPurdue won't be in an underdog role. May- be that's all the Green needs to turn the tables on the Boilermak- ers. Today State hosts North Caro- lina at East Lansing. Ohio State downed the Easterners 41-7 last Saturday, and today's game will provide State fans with a good look at just what's up in the way of Spartan grid fortune-orinis- fortune.
