'HARD-HITTING':
Elliott Praises Defense.
Cross Country Crown To MSU;
Benedict Nabs Fourth for NI'
By TOM WEINBERG
It was one of the six Illinois
fumbles that led to the Wolverines'
winning touchdown in Saturday's
14-8 win that uprooted brother
Pete's rose bush.
"We just hit real hard and a
few came loose," Michigan coach
Bump Elliott commented in ex-
planation of the large number of
miscues by the Illini. "We didn't
make any special effort to jaf the
ball loose, but it was a hard-
hitting game on both sides and
fumbles are to be expected," he
went on to say.
Of the six fumbles, four were
picked up by Michigan, including
the all-important fourth-quarter
bobble which Wolverine John
Rowser recovered after a pitch-out
to Illinois halfback Jim Warren
went astray on the Illinois 11-
yard line.
Five plays after Rowser's re-
covery, fullback Mel Anthony dove
over for a score which put the
Wolverines on top of the Illini
for the ninth straight year.
'Doing His Job'
"According to our defense, the
halfback always covers the pitch
man," Elliott explained, "and
Rowser was just doing his job."
The Wolverines' second upset
win in as many weeks can be at-
tributed to the fine defensive ef-
fort by the line, combined with
alert work on the part of Rowser
and the fine punting of captain
Joe O'Donnell, Elliott commented.
"O'Donnell's punts played a big
part in the game," Elliott said. "He
did real well and that's always
important in such a tight con-
test."
The rough Illinois defense forced
the Wolverines into punting eight
times and O'Donnell averaged just
a shade short of 40 yards per
boot.
Ground Attack
The Wolverines' offensive at-
tack was a reversal of last week's
aerial display, against Northwest-
ern, as all 11 Michigan first downs
were on the ground Timberlake
went all the way at quarterback.
and only managed to complete
seven of his 22 attempts in the
air for a total of 46 yards-fewest
of the year for Michigan.
The running game was good for
108 yards with halfback Dick
Rindfuss leading the way with
35 yards in 13 carries.
In explaining the effort to avoid
Illinois' All-American candidate,
middle-linebacker Rich Butkus,
Elliott said, "We tried to stay
away from the middle as much as
we could. That Butkus is a real
fine football player and he gave
us plenty of trouble."
The overall effectiveness of the
defensive effort by the Wolverines
is apparent from merely examin-
ing the scores of the last three
games, as only one touchdown has
been scored on Michigan in each
match since the Purdue game.
Northwestern managed only one
touchdown, a consolation tally at
that, as the score had already
mounted toh27-0 before the sec-
ond-string Wildcat team produced
a TD. The defense was equally
rough the week before at Minnea-
polis against the Gophers, as only
a second quarter touchdown was
permitted through the wall of
O'Donnell, Tom Keating, Rich
Hahn, Bill Yearby and Brian
Patchen in a losing effort.

Practice Notes
The Wolverines went through
light drills yesterday in prepara-
tion for Saturday's contest with
Iowa. "Iowa's got a real good ball
club," Elliott said. "They've got a
real tough defense and their pass-
ing game will be hard to stop."
Absent from practice was end
Jeff Hoyne who suffered a knee
injury at Champaign Saturday.
Hoyne had a thorough medical
examination yesterday and the
results of the tests will show if
he'll be ready against the Hawk-
eyes.
Special To The Daily
CHAMPAIGN-Michigan's hopes,
for an individual champion in the
Big Ten cross-country meet never
materialized but the promise of a
champion to come loomer large
here yesterday.
Chris Murray who Coach Dave
Martin had picked as one of the
pre-meet favorites was stricken
with an upset stomach just before
the start of a gruelling four-mile
race over the University of Illi-
nois' Savoy golf course. He be-
came ill again after only three-
quarters of a mile, but, in spite of
his handicap, went on to a sixth-
place finish.
Murray had been expected to
battle it out with Al Carius of Illi-
nois, the eventual winner, and.
Dick Sharkey of Michigan State,
the runner-up. This fight had been
eagerly awaited since Murray had
already beaten both Carius and
Sharkey in meets earlier this sea-
son. Martin commented after the
race that if Murray hadn't been
ill "he could have finished either
first or second."
Benedict Stars
The highlight of the meet for
Michigan was produced by sopho-
more Ted Benedict who ran an ex-
cellent race and finished in fourth
place. He finished much better
than even Martin had expected,
as the coach figured Benedict for
no better than tenth. "If he had
realized his potential, he could
have been in third place," Martin
commented.
The individual battle for first
place turned out to be between the
favorites, Carius and Sharkey.
Sharkey took the early lead and
set the pace for most of the race.
Then with about a mile and
three-quarters to go Carius start-
ed to close up the gap and fin-
ally sprinted past Sharkey with
200 yards to go. He ended up win-
ning by 25 yards in a course rec-
ord time of 19:39.4. The previous
record had been 19:44.5 set by
Carius earlier this year. Sharkey
was timed in 19:43.0.
MSU Wins
The team championship was
won once again by Michigan State.
The defending champions swept
easil yto their 11th title in the last
13 years with 46 points, compared
with runner-up Wisconsin's 87.
Cross-country is scored in re-
verse with the first runner getting
one point and the rest of the fin-
ishers getting increasing numbers
Iof points.
Michigan State placed their first
five runners in the top 16 places
with Sharkey leading them. They
surprised experts, however, by not
fimshing even stronger. There was
a large gap between their first
runner, who placed second, and
their second runner-a ninth place
fimsher.
Some of the blame for the fact
that State didn't dominate the
meet more than they did could
probably go to the weather. The
course was continually swept with
winds which gusted up to around
20 miles an hour.
No Blue Team
Neither Michigan nor Purdue
entered teams again this year al-
though each had individuals run-
ning. Pre-season optimism had
been built up that Wolverine run-
ners might return after an ab-
sence of five years. This optimism
increased as about 15 varsity run-
ners turned out to run occasional
meets with Spring Arbor Junior
College and Bowling Green State
University. Last week, however, it
became evident that once again
Michigan would be unable to field
a healthy squad. A series of in-
jured and unready legs smothered
all hopes of competing as a team.
Had Michigan been able to field
a healthy team, there was a large
basis for hope that Michigan could
dethrone Michigan State. There
were several runners who had the
potential to form a good cohesive
team along with Murray and Ben-
edict, but unfortunately were un-
able to compete.

GRID SELECTIONS
Dave Hartman of West Quad is this week's Grid Picks winner,
despite the fact that he picked Illinois to beat the Blue.
Hartman tied with another Illini-picker with 16 right and four
wrong, but Hartman's prediction of the score of the sibling rivalry
was less one-sided and closer to the actual margin.
Winning the contest entitles Hartman to two free passes to the
Michigan Theatre and a chance at the all-time prestige symbol-
Grid Picks winner two weeks in a row.
Are you going to let him get away with it?
No, we knew you weren't.
Just turn in your entry (one per person) for this week's games
listed below by 9 p.m. Friday and you'll have a chance at all the
marbles. Just\think-there are only two more weeks of Grid Picks,
which means it will take a perfect score to take the contest two weeks
in a row.

WASHINGTON (P) - The U.S.
Olympic Committee voted down
yesterday a proposal to let Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy name
three members of its board of di-
rectors who would try to mediate
the dispute between the colleges
and the Amateur Athletic Union.
The AAU vetoed the proposal,
contending it might be interpret-
ed by foreign sports leaders as
government interference in ama-
teur sports.
The colleges countered that
neutral mediation is a :nust if
there ever is to be any peaceful
solution to their conflict with the
AAU. They scoffed at the idea
that the President naming "Three
members of the 50-man board of
directors" would constitute gov-
ernment interference.
The action came at the Vnal
session of a two-day biennial
meeting of the U.S. Oympic Com-
mittee, a meeting marred by al-I
mostAconstant conflct betweenI
the AAU and the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association.
The AAU-NCAA power struggle
threatened to wreck America's
1964 Olympic team b-:fore Presi-
dent Kennedy named Gen. Doug-
las MacArthur earlier this year to
mediate a truce which will last
until after the Tokyo Olympics.
Committee President Kenneth
Tug Wilson, who had urged har-
mony at the opening session, said
yesterday, just before adjourn-
ment:
"I leave here with a heavy heart
I was sincere in my plea that
we should not have bloc voting,
that we should consider each issue
on its merits."
Wilson said the two days had
been spent bickering over minor
matters when they should have
been spent planning ways to field
a better team in the 1964
Olympics.
At the final session, the com-
mittee restructured its voting pro-
cedure to meet requirements of
the International Olympic Com-
mittee. It also reor ganized its
board of directors.
The new voting allotment gave
new power to the AAU, since it
gave majority control to the AAU
and the 18 sports governing bod-
ies represented in the interration-
al federations for Olympic sports.
