THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Wolverines Seek To Avenge 50-20 Loss Cross-Country Meet Postponed By AAU in Federation Favor By TOM WEBBER Sports Editor Bump Elliott is not one to be known for fiery pep talks, but this Just might' be one week that he'll try something along those lines. The game is Ohio State at Co- lumbus this Saturday and the rea- son for the pep talk is spelled R-E-V-E-N-G-E. Last year, if you'll recall, the Buckeyes' Woody Hayes used Michigan in an at- tempt to climb to number one in the ratings, pouring on a 50-20 win over the injured Wolverines. Cool-Head Elliott is also not known for letting his temper get out of hand, but the last November's scorn of the customary post-game hand- shake indicated he was more than a little disturbed by Hayes' dis- play. The contest figures to be some- thing more than the last game of a dismal season for both clubs. The oddsmakers, however, don't label it such, establishing the Buckeyes as a solid 18 point fav- orite. Michigan is in reasonably good shape as opposed to last year. End Bill Laskey will probably miss the contest, but everyone else is ready to go. More To Go The improving Wolverines have even more incentive than revenge for the game. It's a nationally tele- vised battle and they have been considerably less than good in these affairs. Last year they sub- mitted meekly to Michigan State 28-0 and Ohio State. This year on a regional hook-up they again lost to Michigan State 28-0. Michigan could very much use this win, if only to assure the na- tional audience that football here has not totally degenerated. Need- less to say another win could also lift the Wolverines out of the Big Ten basement. Defense A lot will depend on the de- fense. All of the opponents this year have hammered away at the Wolverine ends for their running game. But Ohio State, which hasn't added anything new to its offense since the forward pass, will test the middle of the line- again, and again, and again. Michigan's first team has tired when Elliott tried to use them ex- tensively so he will work in the second team as much as possible. He tried it against Iowa, but the Hawkeyes had the ball in the Michigan end for so much of the second half last week, that the starters played the entire third quarter and most of the fourth. Improved The Iowa game did show vast improvement on the part of a number of Wolverines. Wayne Sparkman gave the most impres- sive performance of any fullback this year, and sophomore center Jim Green showed great promise as a middle linebacker. Ohio State has been almost as much a disappointment as Mich- igan this year. Hayes' men were pre-season choices not only for Big Ten and Rose Bowl honors, but also the national title. They have been close to none of them since the second week of the sea- son when UCLA upset them 9-7. Since then they've been dumped by Northwestern, 18-14, and Iowa, 28-14. The last time Ohio State had a mediocre team was in 1959 and Michigan won the game. But then Michigan was a little better that year than this. The Buckeyes have everything needed for a good team except the fullback so necessary for Hayes' offense. Their line is one of the best in the nation and have three fine quarterbacks in John Mummey, Bill Mrukowski and Joe Sparma. Paul Warfield is one of the better halfbacks in the coun- try and many feel he should be used more. But the three fullbacks em- ployed by Hayes have failed to live up to the Buckeye tradition. A win in this one would keep Michigan from suffering the third worst season in its history. And maybe it would even take a little of the bitterness out of last year's slaughter.' Miek Picked MYP in AL y Writers BOSTON (p) -- Mickey Mantle, the Yankees' gimpy-legged slug- ging master, yesterday was named the American League's Most Valu- able Player for the third time in his career. The 31-year-old New York cen- terfielder beat out Bobby Rich- ardson, 234 votes to 152, in polling by a committee of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Killer Third Harmon Killebrew of the Min- nesota Twins placed third with 99 votes. Leon Wagner of Los An- geles was fourth with 85 votes, and Cleveland pitcher Dick Dono- van received 64 votes, for fifth place. Mantle, feared at the end of his playing career last spring when he injured his left leg and knee, also won the league's highest hon- or in 1956 and 1957. He had been nosed out by Rog- er Maris of the Yankees in 1960 and 1961 - by a slim four-vote margin a year ago. No Votes Maris, whose performance drop- ped off last season from his rec- ord home run year of 1961, though he still hit 33 homers and com- piled 100 runs batted in, did not poll a single vote this year. Mantle belted 30 home runs, had 98 RBI and, with a .321 average, was runnerup in the American League batting race to Boston's champion, Pete Runnels. Gimpy Hobbled much of the time from his legs and then by a rib in- jury, Mickey missed 39 games but was still in action enough, official- ly and defensively, to pace the Yankees to their 13th pennant in the last 16 years. New York has won the flag 10 times during Mantle's 12 years. with the world champions. Mantle, joining a select group of previous three-time MVP win- ners in the league, received 13 of the first place votes cast. ORGAN IZATION NOTICES By DAVE GOOD If the Amateur Athletic UnionI and U. S. Track and Field Federa- tion have really settled their feud over control of amateur competi- tion here, somebody's slip is show-: ing. From Chicago comes word that the AAU has just postponed its cross-country meet, originally scheduled for tomorrow in direct competition with the Federation meet in Columbus. Before the AAU and NCAA reached what is publicized as a temporary peace in track and field last week, the conflicting cross- country meets were to have staged a showdown between the two groups, and according to the Fed- eration's plans were to have shown that it and not the long-establish- ed AAU really had the backing of the athletes. Agree to Coalition Under Atty. Gen. Robert Ken- nedy's supervision, however, the two organizations agreed ostensib- ly to form a coalition to adminis- trate track and field until com- pletion of the Pan American Games and 1964 Olympics. Reports were that the agree- ment, if the memberships of both organizations ratified it, would yield exclusive sanctioning power to the AAU, just as it has always had, and would also permit the Federation "equal" representation on the AAU's Foreign Affairs Committee and a seat on the Ex- ecutive Committee. The Federa- tion's power, in turn would be limited to only college competi- tion. If this is really the state of af- fairs now - and nobody really seems to know-the AAU's post- ponement of its meet looks like a gigantic vote of no confidence in itself. Not Dawn Yet? Don Canham, Michigan track coach, has indicated that the mat- ter has not been settled, but he has not enlarged on the situation yet. At any rate, Michigan had al- ready planned to enter the USTFF meet tomorrow, so the AAU's postponement does not directly affect the team. Although Michigan sometimes enters individuals in cross-coun- try meets, the school does not gen- erally field a team as such because Canham and Assistant Coach El- mer Swanson like to use the sea- son more as a training period for tra 2. No Big Ten Meet This year, for instance, Canham has had his team running over 'the Michigan Golf Course for weeks but did not enter the Big Ten meet in Iowa City because of class conflicts here. But he has lined up six and possibly seven men to run 10,000 meters in the Thanksgiving Day meet: juniors Chris Murray, Dave Hayes and Jim Austin; freshmen Des Ryan and Joel Lewitz; and unattached entries Angus Mac- Dougald and Jim Neahusan. Murray, Hayes and Austin are also planning to run in the four- mile NCAA meet in East Lansing Monday. Ninth Last Year Murray, a slender Toronto pro- duct who placed ninth in last year's Big Ten meet, likes to run in races longer than six miles, so the 6%-mile run over Akers Golf Course in East Lansing should be to his liking. Hayes, from Old Greenwich,' Conn., placed in the indoor mile and outdoor half-mile in the con- ference meets last year. Austin, a junior transfer from Flint Junior College, and Lewitz, are newcomers. Ryan is a second- semester freshman from Ireland who will be eligible to run track in the winter. Back in School Neither MacDougald nor Nea- husan is enrolled in school now, but both are expected to run for Michigan next semester. Neahus- an was a point-getter indoors last year. The Federation's complete entry list has not been made public yet, but the NCAA meet has enough competition to make it an out- standing one. Among the entrants are Dale Story, defending champion from Oregon State; Vic Zwolak and Pat Traynor, one-two in this week's IC4A meet; Tom O'Hara, Loyola (Chicago); Jeff Fishback, San Jose State; Jim Dupree, Bill Cornell and Brian Turner, South- ern Illinois; Barry Almond, Hous- ton; and Les Hegedus, Central State (Wilberforce, Ohio).

Mass, Meeting for SPRING WEEKEND ATTENTION! >; >,' ,; < '! ;, -', §1i 4- By The Associated Press MADISON - Wisconsin went through what was to be its heaviest workout of the week yesterday pre- paring for the Big Ten football ti- tle game here Saturday against Minnesota. Minnesota formations were the problem of the day as Coach Milt Bruhn ran his Badgers through a contact drill. The only player miss- ing was reserve guard John Hoh- man. Bruhn plans to give the team a workout on Thanksgiving Day. * * * MINNEAPOLIS-The Minnesota Gophers emphasized their passing offense in yesterday's practice for Saturday's Big Ten championship game at Wisconsin. Quarterbacks Duane Blaska, Paul Ramseth and Bob Sadek shared the passing work. The Gophers also practiced runs and worked separate defense sessions for interior linemen and ends against Wisconsin plays. There were no lineup changes and the team was reported in top physical shape. * * * CHAMPAIGN - Illinois Coach Pete Elliott made several player shifts yesterday because of injur- ies. Tackle Bob Easter was switched to right guard and Norm Willis went from fullback to his original wingback position. Easter will fill in for injured Archie Sutton for the Michigan State football game in Champaign. Tackle Bob Scharbert's hand in- jury was not a broken bone as ini- tially feared. ** * IOWA CITY - Iowa football Coach Jerry Burns announced yes- terday that junior floater back Paul Krause definitely won't see action in Saturday's game at No- tre Dame. Burns said Sammie Harris, Dick Dougherty and Bob Sherman will Plan now for your .BERMUDA College Week 1963 bigger, busier, better than ever! a Informal welcoming dance to start the fun.

" All-day_ cruise to historic St. take over the floater duties, with Sherman alternating at left half and the floatre position as neces- sary. On the bright side, Burns added that end Tony Giacobazzi, injured in the game with Minnesota, will be ready to play. But the coach added Giacobazzi will be running behind Lynn Lyons at the end po- sition. Tha Hawkeyes held a two-hour contact scrimmage yesterday with the first units running offensive plays against the reserves. * * * E V A N S T O N -Northwestern trainer Tom Helion said yesterday Wildcat starting end Gary Crum will not be able to play at Miami, Fla., Friday night. Crum has been unable to prac- tice since suffering a twisted knee in the Wisconsin game 10 days ago. The Wildcats concentrated on pass defense yesterday in prepara- tion for the passing of Miami's George Mira, who completed 17 aerials against Northwestern last year. * * * EAST LANSING--Coaches cut the Michigan State varsity work- out short yesterday to take a look at the new raw material for the 1963 season. Michigan State has 17 seniors playing their last game in the fi- nale with Illinois at Champaign Saturday. The freshman squad wound up its practice season with an inter- squad game in Spartan Stadium. * * * LAFAYETTE-Defense against the Indiana running attack-half- back Mary Woodson in particular -was emphasized in yesterday's Purdue football workout. The Boilermakers also spent time preparing for the passing they expect from Hoosier quarterback Woody Moore in Saturday's battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. End Sorest Farmer, tackle Don Keiser and center Pete Dudgeon all appeared to be healing and are expected to be ready by Saturday. * C C BLOOMINGTON - Defense and pass protection were stressed yesterday as the Indiana football squad practiced for the Old Oaken Bucket game at Purdue Saturday. The squad was told Purdue's pass rushing is the best the Hoosiers have seen this season. The I.U. squad also worked on plans to stop Purdue's fullback power, especially Roy Walker, who gained 103 yds. in 21 carries and scored two touchdowns in Purdue's 34-12 victory last year. * * * COLUMBUS-Ohio State's foot- ball squad displayed in yesterday's practice the sharp line blocking that sparkled in last week's con- quest of Oregon and which the Buckeyes hope to show Michigan and a national television audience Saturday. Coach Woody Hayes pronounced his team in far better physical condition for the season finale at Ohio Stadium than it was a week ago. Halfback Bo Scott and place- kicker Dick VanRaaphorst appear ready to play after missing the Oregon game. Quarterback John Mummey, who has missed two weeks with an ankle injury, looked "just fair" yesterday, Hayes said, and figures for only limited duty. Mummey is among 19 seniors closing out their OSU grid careers. Two regulars in their number, fullback Bob Klein and guard Ray Krstolic, won't play because of injuries.
