High Ranking
Puts Pressure
On humSquad
CHICAGO (?) - Being ranked
high nationally boosts incentive
more than it does the pressure to
win, Illinois football Coach Pete
Elliott said yesterday.
The 37-year-old Elliott is bask-
ing in the warmth of an unbeaten
campaign thus far, escaping the
iciness of his first two seasons
with the Illini-a 0-9 record in
1961 and 2-7 in 1962.
"The kids naturally watch our
rating from week to week," Elliott
said. "And naturally there is some
pressure built up to keep doing a
good job. But more than that, the
ranking gives a confidence and an
incentive.
"We are pleased to have made
such a good start but we must
take a practical view. We know
we must get better to face our
remaining schedule-Purdue this
Saturday, then Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan State.
"We are still young. Sophomore
backs Jim Grabowski, Sam Price
and Fred Custardo are fine ones.
But they make mistakes. They
know they do and they know they
will get better.
"Our main consideration is get-
ting balanced running and pass-
ing. Our defense must improve.
Our forte now is defense spear-
headed by junior center-lineback-
er Dick Butkus.
"Butkus, a 240-pounder from
Chicago, unquestionably is the best
college football player I ever had
been associated with as a coach.
He is gifted with size, speed, reac-
tion and a vivid sense of doing
what's right."
Mistake Costs
'M' Defense
Vital Yardage
CHICAGO (4P) - A measuring
mistake cost Michigan's defense a
vital two yards in Minnesota's
touchdown drive for a 6-0 victory
Saturday, assistant Wolverine
Coach Jocko Nelson said yester-
day.
Minnesota drove 41 yards in 10
plays for the touchdown at the
start of the second period.
"When the Gophers got the ball,
they had no gain on first down,"
Nelson told the Chicago's Ameri-
can Quarterback Club. "That point
the whistle blew ending the first
quarter. When the chains were
switched, I looked up and saw
that Minnesota had second down
with eight yards to go. We lost
two yards somewhere.I
"Minnesota eventually made a
first down, but just by inches."
Nelson scouted Navy before the
Middies invaded Michigan earlier
in the season and captured a 26-13
victory.
"In my 10 years of coaching,
Navy quarterback Roger Staubach
is the finest I've ever seen," he
said. "He can run and throw. He is
great at everything. The only word
for him is phenomenal."
Van Raaphorst,
Lewis Lead
CHICAGO () - Place kicking
specialist Dick VanRaaphorst of
Ohio State and diminutive half-
back Sherman Lewis of Michigan
State are tied for the Big Ten
all-games football scoring lead.
Each has 30 points with Van-
Raaphorst compiling his on eight
field goals and six conversions and
Lewis scoring his on five touch-

downs.
Fullback Tom Nokatzke of In-
diana is third with 28 points on
four touchdowns, one field goal
and one conversion, followed by
Pete Stamison of Northwestern,
who has six field goals and nine
conversions.

Five Still in Big Ten Title Picture,:

By BUD WILKINSON
The Big Ten football race heads
into November and the final games
with, all teams defeated or tied
and a five way scramble for the
roses.
Wisconsin was the last to slip
from the ranks of the unbeaten
when Ohio State, rebounding from
humiliation in the West, beat the
Badgers, 13-10, Saturday on a
closing touchdown march. The
passing of sophomore quarterback
Don Unverferth and the power
running of fullback ,Mat Snell
sparked the Buckeyes on an 80-
yard fourth quarter surge to pay
dirt.

In NLIHL Race
MONTREAL ({P) - Montreal's
Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion
may be headed for another 50-goal
season in the National Hockey
League if he can maintain his
league-leading scoring pace.
League statistics yesterday show-
ed Geoffrion, Canadians' team-
mate Jean Beliveau and Chicago's
Stan Nikita tied for the scoring
lead with 12 points each.
Geoffrion, 32-year-old right
wing who won the NHL scoring ti-
tle with 50 goals and 45 assists in
the 1969-61 season but has scor-
ed only 23 goals in each of the last
two seasons, has put together his
12-point total on six goals and six
assists.
Nikita also has six of each while
Beliveau has three goals and a
league-leading nine assists.
Two points behind the leaders is
Chicago's Bobby Hull, another of
the NHL's 50-goal scorers.
The Black Hawks Glenn Hall
took over the goaltending lead
with a 2.13 goals against average.
Toronto's Johnny Bower is second
at 2.17.

ing sensation Dick VanRaaphorst
booted two field goals to put Ohio
State within reach. Quarterback
Harold Brandt and halfback Lou
Holland starred for the Badgers,
but their efforts were good for
only one touchdown.
Three Tied for First
Wisconsin's loss created a three
way tie for the conference lead
between Illinois, Ohio State and
Michigan State. Each of the three
have two victories, no defeats and
one tie. Purdue and Wisconsin
share fourth place with two vic-
tories and one defeat apiece. This
sets up a scramble for the title
which will probably be carried to
the final playing date. The Illini
have a schedule advantage in the
race because they play seven con-
ference games. Michigan State and
Ohio State meet only six oppon-
ents.
This week's pairings point to
Purdue's invasion of Champaign
where the Illini can eliminate the
Boilermakers and solidify their po-
sition as leading contenders for
the title and the trip to Pasadena's
Rose Bowl.
Purdue Set for Illini
Although Wisconsin had earlier
whipped Purdue, the Boilermakers'
shutout of Iowa Saturday, 14-0,
may indicate Purdue is ready for
the decisive scrap despite Illinois'
advantage of home field. In Sat-
urday's battle, veteran Purdue
quarterback Ron DiGravio passed
to sophomore Bob Hadrick for one
touchdown and ran for another
himself.
The Illini had a slight let-down
last Friday in scoring a 18-12
come-from-behind victory over de-
cided underdog UCLA. However,
the Illini should be up for the tilt
with rival Purdue.
Wisconsin faces a showdown at
Michigan State. The Spartans can-
not expect to gain the title if
tied or beaten by the Badgers be-
cause they must face Illinois in
the last game of the season. Wis-
consin certainly cannot afford a
second loss and this game is very
critical.f

first place tie by upsetting pre-
season favorite Northwestern, 15-
7. The game winning factors for
the Spartans were the speed and
skill of halfback Sherman Lewis.
Lewis ran 87 yards for one touch-
down by breaking through the
Wildcat line and outrunning the
secondary and made a sensational
diving catch in the end zone for
another tally. Among Lewis' other
achievements was an 84-yard punt

return and a 30-yard pass which
he completed to Tom Krzemienski
on a razzle-dazzle play.
Ohio State is also under pres-
sure as it hosts Iowa next Satur-
day and the Buckeyes must also
win to stay in the conference
race. Iowa, now eliminated from
the running by two defeats in a
six game program, can be more
dangerous than if it were still un-
der title pressure.

GRID SELECTIONS
Entering The Daily Grid Picks contest is like eating olives--
you have to acquire a taste for it.
If you have yet to savor the joys of this hobby let me tell
you what it tastes like. If you go 6-14 it's like eating spinach
with chocolate syrup on top. A 10-10 week is scrambled eggs all
the way. But the taste of a 15-5 record is close to ambrosia with
whipped cream.
Does that make you hungry? If it does, trot over to 'The Daily
(that place with the five-cent Cokes) and treat yourself to an
entry form.
Henry Yee of 124 Hayden digested victory this week with a
15-5 record winning a couple tickets to the Michigan Theatre now
featuring the "L Shaped Room."
Entries must be in by 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, one per gourmet.

Subcommittee Passes Bill
To Supply Olympic -Funds

WASHINGTON M-P)-The Pen-
tagon won a big round yesterday
in its drive to get $2 million to
send military athletes to the
Olympics and other international,
sports contests in the next four
years.
A House armed services subcom-
mittee approved this amount, $1.2
million more than the Defense
Department had to spend on in-
ternational sports in the last four
years..
Hope to Regain Power
"Let's understand what we are
doing," said the subcommittee
chairman, Rep. F. Edward Hebert
(D-La). "Our objectives are to
make the United States the most
powerful nation in the world ath-
letically. The Russians are ,subsi-
dizirig their civilian athletics di-
rectly. It is our aim to regain the
supremacy we had over the years
and this is one way to do it."
Hebert made his remarks in
open session before the subcom-
mittee met in secret and approved
the bill authorizing the money.
The bill now goes to the full
Armed Services Committee.
Under the bill, the Defense De-
partment would spend $1.1 million
on taking part in such civilian
competition as the Olympics and
Pan-American Games. The other
$900,000 would be used for parti-
cipation in meets of the Interna-
tional Council of Military Sports,
known as CISM from its initials
in French.
Used Store Proceeds
During the last four years, the
armed services had $800,000 for
taking part in the Olympics and
Pan-American Games. Proceeds

from stores and shows on bases
were used to pay for taking part
in any CISM games.
Witnesses for the Department
of Defense testified they expect
servicemen to make up more than
25 per cent of the United States
Olympic squad in 1964.
During two days of hearings,
members of the subcommittee
made it clear that they supported
an increased authorization for in-
ternational sports, but they com-
plained that the department wit-
nesses were not presenting all the
figures.
Give False Impressions
Rep. Otis Pike (D-NY), forex-
ample, complained that one wit-
ness, William G. McNamara, had
given the impression that the de-
partment needed the $900,000 for
CISM because it was a new pro-
gram, although, Pike said, CISM
had been in operation for 15 years.
McNamara, who is a special as-
sistant in the office of Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara,
said that CISM had grown tre-
mendously since its start and the
department now found it could no
longer support it out of the pro-
ceeds from stores and shows on
bases.
