Today's article dea with Ohio State.) By GARY WINER __G he ot- als Coach Woody Hayes has vowed there will be more passing at Ohio State this year, but most football prognosticators have taken the "sit-back-and-wait" attitude. With an impressive 278.9 yard rushing average per game last year, the Buckeyes won the NCAA rushing championship. They fin- ished in a tie for third in the Big Ten with a 4-2 record and 6-3 overall. Graduation of 18 lettermen, in- cluding the first three men at offensive quarterback, fullback and center, has placed a heavy burden on the sophomores. The further loss of four assistant' coaches and only 19 returning let- termen listed on the roster prompted Hayes to remark, "This is my biggest rebuilding job in 13 years." "Four yards and a cloud of dust" is not about to be dusted from the football annals at Columbus. Although the Buckeye coaching staff has bemoaned the loss of their experienced fullbacks, who carried 47.7 percent of the rush- ing plays last year, there are prime candidates for the job. Willard Saxnder, 6'2" 210-pound- er, has received more than passing praise from Hayes in recent scrim- makes. His main challenger is an- other rookie, Bob Hartley, 5'11" and 202 pounds. Warfield Returning In the past, Hayes has centered his rushing game around the full-' backs, but the presence of senior All-American candidate Paul War- field at halfback may force a change in his strategy. Warfield without a doubt is the fastest man on the team. In last year's campaign, he averaged 6.4 yards per carry with 57 attempts and caught eight passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. Returning letterman Ben Espy will fill, most likely, the other backfield position. Espy saw reg- ular action in the final two games #' 'EYE TO 'EYE-Ohio State's grueling defense, led by safetyman Arnold Chenko (23) and end Matt Snell (41), stops Iowa's Robert Sherman (33) during last year's Buckeye-Hawkeye game. Both defenders return this season to haunt OSU's opponents. BASEBALL DRILLS IN 'FULL SWING': 'Nine' reps for Spring Duty By BILL BULLARD Bump Elliott isn't the only, Michigan coach conducting prac- tice sessions this fall. For those who come out to watch football practice, a look down to the southeastern end of { ' Ferry Field reveals a group of about 30 baseball players engaged in various drills. Coach Moby Benedict and his new assistant Dick Honig have been instructing their charges for two weeks now. According to Benedict the pur- pose of fall baseball practice is similar to that of spring football- drills. "We have two goals in mind for fall practice," he said. "First, we want to teach the basic funda- 4 mentals. Second, we want to get a line on our personnel. ZI:.U. Easier Job "Fall practice makes our job s a Reed Names 'M' Gridders Top Students Quarterback B o b Timberlake and guard Joe O'Donnell put Michigan on the list this week as Big Ten Commissioner Bill Reed announced the nominees for the 1963 All - Conference Academic football team. Timberlake and O'Donnell are two of the 37 student-athletes selected-the largest in the his- tory of the program which is spon- sored by the Big Ten Sports In- formation Directors. The official All-Conference team will be se- lected by a panel of sports writers, at the close of the season. Nomination for election for the team is based strictly on scholastic proficiency-a B or better aca- demic average. After that, athletic ability is the sole gauge and 49 of the past winners have received All-Conference honors and nine others have ganed All-American status. last year, averaging four yards in 17 carries. Lack of Experience For the first time inhmany years, Hayes is faced with a drastic shortage of experienced linemen. The tackle slot in all probabil- ity will be filled by Bill Kohut, who had one minute playing time last year, and sophomore convert- ed end John Palmer. Tom Jenkins, 6'1" 226-pound senior from Dayton, perhaps is Hayes' only blessing. Jenkins is returning with 250 minutes of playing time and is regarded to be one of the top guards in the Big Ten this season. Incorporation of the air game this fall is conceivable as the end position is considered by many to be the Buckeyes' strongest asset. Top receiver on last year's squad is senior Ormonde Ricketts, who caught nine passes for 79 yards and played 200 minutes. Sopho- more John Stock, an All-Ameri- can, and letterman Matt Snell will give the Bucks some much-needed depth. Quarterback Problem The lack of a good passing quarterback most likely will dam- pen Hayes' passing plans. Sophomore Tom Barrington, 6' 1", 208-pounder, has been men- tioned most recently to take over the signal calling duties. Barring- ton is a converted fullback, better known for his running ability, and regarded only as an average thrower. Another rookie, Don Un- verferth, 6'3", 205 pounds, is con- sidered a good passer and better than average runner. Third can- didate is Arnold Chonko, a junior defensive specialist and high school quarterback. Strongest point for Ohio State this year is the offensive and de- fensive backfields, but the lack of a good line probably will hinder the Buckeye famed ground attack quite considerably. There appears to be little relief in sight through the air lanes, thus a losing season may be looming on the horizon. Next: Illinois Riessen Set For Net Finals DENVt i()- Dennis Ralston of University of Southern Cali- foiknia and Marty Riessen of Northwestern University w e re picked yesterday to represent the United States in singles tennis matches against Venezuela in the American Zone Davis Cup finals beginning today. Riessen is defending Big Ten champion and has held the top conference spot ever since he be- gan playing in the conference two years ago. He is also titlist at first doubles (with teammate Clark Graebner). At the draw at Cherry Hills Country Club, Riessen was pitted in the opening match at 2 p.m. today against Venezuela's Iyo Pimental. Ralston meets Orlando Braca- monte, Venezuelan attending Mis- sissippi State, in the second match. The pairings will be reversed in the two singles matches Sun- day with Riessen and Bracamonte meeting in the first match, Bra- camonte and Pimental are the only Venezuelans here. However, Capt. Robert Kelleher of the U.S. team also has avail- able besides Riessen and Ralston, Arthur Ashe Jr., Richmond, Va., and Eugene Scott, St. James, N.Y. TO Rival By The Associated Press NEW YORK - A rebel move- ment by a pair of disgruntled out- casts is threatening to put a big crimp in the famed Olympic Games. Thi instigators are Indonesia, suspended by the International Olympic Committee, and Com- munist China, which walked out of the ICC in a huff because of the recognition of Formosa. Smack in the middle of the squabble is the Soviet Union. Officials of the International Olympic Committee declined im- mediate comment, but it was ob- vious there was widespread con- cern over the explosive situation, which is this: Apparently out of spite over his country's suspension by the .IOG growing out of .Indonesia's snub of Israel and Nationalist China in the Fourth Asian Games last year President Sukarno of Indonesia has announced plans for a giant sports spectacle to be known as GANEFO.

We're leaving for our spring trip to Arizona on March 21 and we'll have little chance to evaluate our players out- doors before we leave. "It's true that we'll have some practice in Yost Fieldhouse before we leave. But how can you judge the fielding ability of an outfield- er when you're indoors? We want to see how our players have im- proved by playing this summer. We're testing their fielding ability, their speed, and their arms. Then we'll have a better idea about which players will make the team next spring." Benedict plans to continue prac- tice as long as there is good weather but not over four or five moe weeks. He pointed out that the players are getting tired of baseball after a spring and sum- mer of competition and practice. Squad in Training The squad that Benedict has in training includes veterans .from last season's team, other hopeful upperclassmen, plus sophomores and a few freshmen. Only Cap- tain Dave' Campbell, a' senior in the education school who is prac- tice teaching in the afternoon, is unable to attend the fall sessions. Benedict said that the great value of fall practice was that he is able to give individual attention to his players. "Once the season starts in the spring, you don't have time for this type of istruc- tion.". During the four years that Don Lund was head coach, he and Benedict conducted practices in the fall. Lund's predecessor, Ray Fisher, did not conduct fall prac- tices in the latter part of his 38- year coaching career and probably # never did. Thus, the idea of fall training is relatively new. Indoor Practices In past years also, indoor prac- tices in the Fieldhouse for pitch- ers started just after Thanksgiv- ing. The new calendar may change the starting date according to Benedict but pitchers will begin limbering- up their arms before the other players turn out for in- door practice.. Benedict commented that hav- ing Honig as an assistant coach was a great help. "Last spring I felt I was without a right arm. Now I've got a right arm. Dick was brought up under our sys- tem. He's played here four years and he knows how we operate. "Dick will act as an assistant varsity coach with the responsibil- ity also for the freshman team. When the freshman team comes out next spring, Dick will work with them in the last half of each afternoon after helping me with part of the varsity in the first Major League Stcnig l AMERICAN1 New York Minnesota Chicago Baltimore Detroit Boston Cleveland Kansas City I Los Angeles Washington LEAGUE W L Pet.

Here are newly appointed assistant coach Dick Honig and catcher Charlie Adams at practice this week. Sessions will continue through winter months indoors. half of the afternoon. He'll make all trips with the varsity as well as assisting me at all home games." Tough Years Honig admitted that it was a bit difficult getting used to coach- ing players that were his team mates just last season. "These will be my toughest two years," he said. But on the other hand, he com- mented that practically all last season he assisted Benedict after having broken his wrist in the season's first Big Ten game. Ho- nig was hit by a pitched ball and missed the rest of the season be- cause of his injury. Honig said that professional baseball was never, on his mind either before or after his injury. "If I had been good enough to step right into the major leagues it might have been different," he said. "But I wasn't that good. Be- sides, coaching here is what I want to do. This is a wonderful opportunity." As a junior, Honig was one of the players that led Michigan to an N C A A a n d International Championship. He and Joe Jones sparked the team to 60 double plays which led the nation in that category. His batting average of .292 was second highest on the t Y 1 team. c in Men's Alpaca.
