BER 12; 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE 89 N: BER 12; 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE V1fl~J '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. Fire up!! THIS WEEK'S GAMES 1. Iowa at Michigan (SCORE) 11.

Oklahoma at Missouri 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.
