We have sev- eral sophomores who should be a lot of help, but defense will be our weak point," said Coach Al Renfrew in evaluating Michigan's hockey prospects for the coming season. Although eight lettermen return to Michigan's hockey squad this year, only one is a defenseman and Renfrew will have to depend on sophomores for the develop- ment of a strong defense. From the '62-'63 defense Ren- frew lost such lettermen as Wayne Kartusch, Don Rodgers and Ross Morrison. Returning will be lone letterman defense player Roger Galipeau, who played a half season, and reserve Dave Newton, who was handicapped last season by an injury. Up front the missing lettermen will be Captain Larry Babcock, Tom Pendlebury, John McGonigal and Dave Butts. Depth, Experience . Both in goal and on the forward lines this year's icers have depth and experience. Last season's goalies, Bob Gray and Bill Bieber, both return to the nets this sea- son. Gray has been one of college hockey's top goalies despite a knee injury that necessitated an oper- ation in mid-season last year. His determination is illustrated by the fact that he returned to the nets to finish out the season after recovering from the injury. Bieber, who took Gray's place last year, should be definitely im- proved after a year under fire. "Both Gray and Bieber have been playing as well in practice as I have ever seen them. We will play whichever of them seems to be the best for any given game." Forwards returning include Cap- tain Gordie Wilkie, a top compe- titor and a standout for the Wol- verines in two seasons. In his sophomore year Wilkie was second in scoring for Michigan behind Red Berenson and second in the Western Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation and was named WCHA "sophomore of the year." Last year, Wilkie was again second in scoring for the Wolverines. Also returning is Ron Coristine, who may be used on defense this year, and juniors Gary Butler and Jack Cole. Butler was Michigan's leading scorer and second in the WCHA last season with 30 goals. Cole is a steady player who should be definitely improved this winter. Senior George Forrest, who saw some action last year, is also re- turning. Among the sophomores expected to aid the Wolverine defense are Tom Polonic of Toronto, Barry MacDonald of Montreal, Tom Henderson of Owen Sound and Rick Day. "The lack of experience of the sophomores on defense is bound to hurt us in the first few games, but after they get a few games under their belts they should really help the team. They are a mature bunch of kids," said Renfrew. Among the sophomores expected to see action on the forward lines are Pierre Dechaine, Alex Hood and Wilfred Martin, a trio from Regina, Sask. Other sophs who are playing well in practice are Bob Ferguson, Marty Read and Mel Wakabayashi, who will not be eligible until second semester. No Lineups Yet Renfrew has not yet decided on the starting lineups for the first games. "We're still experimenting with lineup changes and have not de- cided definitely on the lines." TOP PRODUCERS--Captain Gordie Wilkie (left) and alternate Captain Gary Butler (right) were the top scorers on the Michigan hockey team last year. Butler was top point getter. This year they will again be line mates on the first line as Michigan opens the season this Friday. a 7-14-3 record and came in last in the WCHA. Hurt Psychologically The loss of a few very close games early in the season and the layoffs for Christmas and again for exams hurt the team psychologically and Gray's injury further lowered morale. The team also suffered from a lack of depth. "Everyone is working hard and they all have a lot of enthusiasm, which is what really counts. The sophomores are out there pushing the seniors hard." Four new opponents will appear on Michigan's 24-game hockey schedule this year for the first time in Wolverine ice history. One of them will be one of Michigan's oldest and bitterest rivals in al- most every field of sport-Ohio State. The icers will also face teams from Ohio University, the Duluth branch of Minnesota, and Loyola of Montreal. The Wolver- ines' first games will be home games against Queens on Nov. 29 and 30. "I think our toughest games this season will be with Michigan Tech, Minnesota, and possibly Michigan State," commented Renfrew. With the opening of hockey at Michigan coming during the Thanksgiving vacation, the hock- ey coach paused during practice to size up this season's team. The Wolverines will open their season this year at the Coliseum with a two-game series Friday and Saturday against Queen's of Ontario. Game time will again be 8 p.m. As was the cast last year, not too much is known about the Canadian opponents. Last year, Michigan handed Queen's two sound defeats, beating them in the first game 12-1 and taking the second 9-3. By JIM BERGER Associate Sports Editor Chances are that the week's delay will hurt the Michigan foot- ball squad more than the Ohio State squad as the two teams clash Saturday at Michigan Sta- dium beginning at 1:30 p.m. Michigan ticket officials don't know how many fans to expect since something like this has nev- er happened before. The game or- iginally set for last Saturday was postponed due to the tragic assass- ination of President Kennedy. Originally 65,000 were expected. The postponement caught the Wolverine squad with the momen- tum of two victories and a tie in their last three games. The Buck- eyes in contrast had lost two straight. Saturday marks the 60th time the two teams have met. The series dates back to 1897. Michi- gan has won 35; Ohio State has won 20 and the teams tied four games. Both Michigan and Ohio State resumed heavy workouts wester- day. The Wolverines went through a very light drill on Monday. Ohio State will be playing with- out first string tackle Ed Orazen. The 228-pound junior was dis- missed 'from the team for disci- plinary reasons on Saturday. Ora- zen reportedly asked to return home with his parents while Hayes requested all players to return home with the squad. Saturday's game will decide nothing in the Big Ten race. Thursday's game between Michi- gan State and Illinois will decide the conference representative at the Rose Bowl. Even a Michigan victory couldn't lift the Wolverines above Ohio in the standings, while an OSU win could at best give the Buckeyes a tie for second place. With the exception of his dis- missed tackle, Hayes plans no changes in his starting line-up. Charles Mamula, 238-pounds, will replace Orazen. Likewise, Elliott plans no changes in his lineup. The Buckeyes sport a 4-3-1 rec- ord with a tie against Illinois and losses to Southern California, Penn State and Northwestern,' and victories over Texas A & M, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin. Michigan has a 3-3-2 mark with ties against Michigan State and Iowa; victories over Southern Methodist, Northwestern and Illi- nois, and losses to Navy, Minne- sota and Purdue. Saturday's game marks the fin- an college appearance for 14 Mich- igan seniors including starting guard and captain Joe O'Donnell and starting tackle Tom Keating. Among Ohio State standouts playing their final game are: half- back Paul Warfield, fullback Matt Snell, placekicker Dick Van Raap- horst, end Ormonde Ricketts and guard Tom Jenkins. They are all starters. The traditional halftime "battle of the bands" will not take place Saturday. The Buckeye band which was in Ann Arbor last Sat- urday will not return for the re- scheduled game, according to Michigan band director, f Probably Wilkie, Butler and Cole will be on the starting for- ward line with Hood, Dechaine and Martin backing them up. Gal-' ipeau may also be moved to a forward spot. On defense, converted forward Coristine and sophomore Barry MacDonald will probably start with Polonic and Henderson re- lieving them. On the whole Renfrew expects a better team than last year's which wound up the season with '63'S TOP ATHLETE: Heisman Trophy to Stanbach ,.,t..a cn i a at. - A, g BTe Associated Press <, - ,I Jy X o ~uuam CC~{t NEW YORK-Roger Staubach, Navy's two-legged missile, was ther runaway choice for the 1963 Heis- man Trophy as college football'sf player of the year to the surprise of no one but himself. f "I can hardly believe it," thef 6' 2", 190-pound junior quarter- back said at Annapolis. "The Heis- man Trophy is something you hear about in high school and suddenly it happens to you." Staubach piled up 1,860 points on the basis of three points for a first place, two for a second and one for a third. He was named on. 517 out of a possible 784 first1 place ballots. 'fuskers Move Up. Texas Still in First His nearest rival, Billy Loth- ridge, "Mr. Everything" from Georgia Tech, had 604 points and 65 firsts. Roger (the Dodger) is only the fourth junior selected among the Heisman winners, joining Walker of Southern Methodist and Vic Janowicz of Ohio State. Busily rewriting the Naval Academy record book with a sea- son yet to play, Staubach won in a breeze against a heavily stacked quarterback field. Seven of the 14 players to re- ceive votes were quarterbacks. Be- hind Staubach and Lothridge were Baylor's Don Trull, Auburn's Jimmy Sidle, Terry Isaacson of Air Force, George Mira of Miami and Texas' Duke Carlisle. Lewis Third In third place in the voting was Michigan State halfback Sherman Lewis. Also receiving support were Texas tackle Scott Appleton, Il- linois center Dick Butkus, Duke halfback Jay Wilkinson, Pitt half- back Paul Martha, Nebraska guard Bob Brown and Minnesota tackle Carl Eller. The news broken to the entire Navy squad Tuesday and Stau- bach's teammates whooped it up. "I owe it to everyone-my grade school coach, my coaches in high school and junior college, Coach Wayne Hardin and, of course, all my teammates," Staubach said. "It's something I'll treasure all my life. This is really great, but we've still got Army." Navy is scheduled to play Army, Dec. 7. "I don't know of anyone who deserves it more," Hardin said. "I think the kid has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's an outstanding player and an out- standing individual." Staubach will be honored at New York's Downtown Athletic Club, Dec. 4.

A 29-20 victory over Oklahoma last Saturday not only put the Cornhuskers into the Orange Bowl but boosted them into seventh place. Oklahoma dropped from seventh into Nebraska's 10th spot held by Nebraska the week before. Less than one-half the mem- bers of the panel of sports writers and sportscasters who vote in the weekly AP poll turned in their ballots, undoubtedly because of the postponement of pivotal games out of respect for the death of President Kennedy. Except for Nebraska, Oklahoma, and ninth-place Auburn, a 21-15 victory over Florida State, no team in the Top Ten played last weekend. Texas, holding onto first place for the seventh straight week, ends its regular season Thursday in a traditional windup with Texas A & M. The final poll will be held next week. Navy remained in the No. 2 po- sition. The Middies were the only team besides Texas to receive first place votes. Texas had 20 and Navy the other two. Mississippi, which meets Missis- sippi State Saturday, remained in third place. Then came Michigan State, which meets Illinois for the Big Ten title and a berth in the Rose Bowl Thursday. Pittsburgh which has games left with Miami and Penn State, was fifth, followed by Alabama, 7 3iI I which has a game with Auburn Saturday. Illinois was eighth and Auburn ninth.

Of Staubach, Hardin said: "I have seen boys who can pass better, run better, call plays bet- ter or scramble better but I never saw anyone who can do all these things as well as Roger. I simply can't say enough about him." Assinment: design a car for tomorrow... that could be built today! I 9. Auburn 10.

More than that, Allegro has unique functional features that could be adapted for future production cars. (This has already occurred in the case of retractable seat belts!) A major innovation is a cantilever-arm steering wheel with an electronic "memory." The steering wheel is mounted on an arm that extends from a center-mounted column. The wheel swings upward for easy exit, returns automatically to its former foot pedals, permits use of a fixed seat design for low overall height. Basically a two-seater in present form, Allegro has rear floor space that could be converted to carry two additional passengers. The car could be powered by either a V-4 made by Ford of Germany or by the domestic 144- or 170-cubic-inch Sixes. Allegro is one of a series of Ford-built dream cars which will be shown at the New York World's Fair to test consumer reaction to styling and mechani- cal innovations.
