THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, YC63 Conley Stands Out on 'M' Defense SPORTS SHORTS: By BILL BULLARD "Maybe I'm prejudiced but I don't think there's a better de- fensive end in the Big Ten than Jim Conley," Michigan end coach Jocko Nelson stated. The Wolverine starting left end has drawn praise from the Michi- gan staff and opposing coaches as well in the last two seasons. The rangy 6'3" junior from Spring- dale, Pennsylvania stepped into the starting assignment as a soph- omore a year ago when ineligibili- ities and graduations left the end ranks depleted. JIM CONLEY ... defensive demon But the inexperienced sopho- more end soon proved his worth. By the end of the season he had racked up 228 minutes of playing time, more than any other wing- man on the squad. Real Confident "I felt real confident at the start of this season after getting so much experience last season," Conley said. "I sort of knew what to expect. I knew what kinds of teams we were to play and knew that they hit hard." Nelson pointed out that Conley has had a great deal of experience on both offense and defense. Us- ually playing a tight end when Michigan's offensive plans call for the ends to be primarily block- ers, Conley has done a good job Nelson says. Actually as a pass receiver, Con- ley has already surpassed his last season's totals even though he hasn't been playing as much of- fense. He has caught six passes for 114 yards and one touchdown so far compared with five recep- tions for 47 yards last season. Go Both Ways "I'd rather go both ways and play both offense and defense," Conley says. "I enjoy playing all the time. But if the coaches feel that I'm most helpful on defense that's where I'll play. But I've got the strength to go all the way anytime they want me to." Conley believes that it's im- portant for him to stay in top shape.sDuring the summer he runs at least a mile a day four or five times a week to prepare for fall practice. "I just try and get my legs in condition. If they're in shape then the rest of my body will develop into shape also," he says. Conley currently weighs about 195 pounds which is 10 pounds heavier than his playing weight as a senior in high school. "I've al- ways thought that I'd like to weigh 10 or 15 pounds heavier but I've never let it bother me," he says. "I weighed in at 204 pounds at the start of fall practice but I've lost some since then." 'Built Wiry' Nelson commented that Conley was "built wiry" and was a tough football player. He said Conley's build and aggressiveness made him a match for his Big Ten oppon- ents. The Northwestern and Illinois games were Conley's best this sea- son according to Nelson. "But he's played real steady all year long," Nelson added. "His overall play has been good. "Jim is just a good all-around football player. He's a solid player and he always gives you 100 per cent effort all the time." Conley, like all the other Wol- verines, is looking forward to the Ohio State contest this Saturday. "The problem is not so much with Ohio State's speed," he said. "If Bill Laskey (defensive right end) and I can contain the end sweeps, I'm sure the middle of our line will hold solid. "The Ohio State line is not as strong as it has been the past two years. But it's still tough. "I think the big thing is for all our guys to take up a personal challenge to just go out there and knock the hell out of them. Ohio State this season is not the Ohio State of old. But the only way to beat them is to hit them hard." TCimberlake Named Best In Midwest Bob Timberlake, Michigan's first string quarterback, has been named "Midwest Back of the Week" by United Press Interna- tional for hishoutstanding per- formance in the 21-21 tie with Iowa last Saturday. In the game against the Hawk- eyes, he gained a total of 230 yards, 93 passing and 137 running. His rushing yardage is the most gained by any Wolverine back in a single game since Jim Pace raced for 164 yards against Ohio State in 1957. The play that shook the Iowa defense most was a delayed sneak run by Timberlake for good yard- age. He also gained ground by running on pass plays when his receivers were covered. Coaches Impressed Both Bump Elliott and Hawkeye Coach Jerry Burns were impress- ed by Timberlake's performance. "We really didn't expect to see him run that much," said Burps. "He looked smarter and faster and I think he's quicker than Ron Di- Gravio (Purdue's quarterback) ." For the season, Timberlake has netted 162 yards in 78 carries for a 2.08 average despite being caught for losses when his pass receivers were covered. In the passing de- partment he has completed 42 of 85 passes for 588 yards and three touchdowns. He is in third place in scoring for the Wolver- ines with 23 points on two touch- downs and 11 extra points. JEWISH BOOK j FAIR K at! WA H R'S in co-operation with Hillel N OV. 18-27 By The Associated Press HOUSTON-Texas, a state pro- ducing about 10,000 Negro high school football players and some 3,500 basketball players, now is going to see more of them staying at home for their collegiate com- petition. The University of Texas of the, Southwest Conference has inte-i grated its sports and will start re- cruiting the Negro athletes. South- ern Methodist announced that Ne- groes could be used on its team and University of Houston, an in- dependent, said qualified Negro athletes would be sought. The integration of Southwest Conference athletics came about rather quietly. It all began when Darrell Roy- al, University of Texas athletic director and coach of the nation's No. 1 football team, held his reg- ular Monday get-together with sports writers and said: "The Athletic Council met with the administration this morning and we decided that any student who meets academic and athletic requirements is eligible to try out for any sports at this moment." That statement broke the ice. Now most of the seven other mem- bers of the Southwest Conference can be expected to follow suit. For years, teams from the Big Ten, Big Eight, Big Six, and other conferences raided the state of its Negro football stars. Or the ath- letes went to all-Negro colleges in the state, such as Prairie View A & M and Texas Southern. Several years ago the barriers against Negro participation in sports at Texas colleges started falling as integration of the schools spread. North Texas State University, the fourth largest college in the state with 10,000 students and a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, has opened athletics to .. egroes. A number of small colleges in the state, including several in the Lone Star Confer- ence, have had Negro athletes for several years. Overlook AAU Rebuff HAMILTON, N.Y.-The United States Baseball Federation said yesterday it wouldtbe a good sport for the sake of the. 1964 Olym- pics and. overlook for the pres- ent an AAU rebuff to its bid to represent the United States on an international body. But the Federation said it would renew its fight in 1965, thereby promising ' an intensified chal- lenge to the dominance of the Amateur Athletic Union. The AAU has been the sole sanctioning agent for U.S. entrants in inter- national competition, although it does not represent baseball. In the meantime, Everett D. Barnes, Federation president, said his group would cooperate with the U.S. Olympic Committee to complete arrangements the fed- eration had begun for baseball ex- hibition games in Tokyo next year. "There is too much at stake," Barnes said, "to allow this delib- erate and purely political setback to prevent America's baseball players from taking part in the 1964 Olympics."
