RENT A TV THIS SEMESTER
By GARY WINER
Basketball Coach Dave Strack
will find out just how good his
squad really is this season, when
the Wolverines face two of the
toughest cage teams in the nation
this vacation period.
On tap between now and the
beginning of next semester are
games with Western Michigan,
here, Saturday night; Detroit,
here, December 31; Northwestern,
ere, January 4; and Purdue,
away, January 11. But the big
contests are against Duke, cur-
rently rated third in the nation,
at Yost Field House, December 21;
and against NYU, currently listed
second in the country, at the Los
Angeles Classic, December 26.
Western Michigan, with a 12-12
record last year, should be a much
ifproved team this year with the
return of eight lettermen. The
roncos are facing an unusually
ugh pre-conference schedule
hich has seen them lose to Mich-
gan State by a single point, 101-
00. After last night's contest
gainst Loyola, Western Michigan
11 be laying for the Wolverines in
n effort to top one of the nation's
est.
With Manny Newsome, 5'9",
ast year's first team "small" All-
erican guard, and forward Bill
treet, Western has a squad which
acked up 102 points against Loy-
la last year in a 123-102 losing
ffort. Newsome pumped in 45
oints in the Spartan encounter.
Michigan has downed four
traight opponents in respectable
ashion, but Duke's Blue Devils
'ill no doubt provide Strack's
quad with one of its toughest
hallenges of the still young sea-
on. Duke will probably be shuffled
own somewhat in the rankings

If present plans hold, there
will be no radio broadcast to
Ann Arbor of Michigan's bas-

points and ten rebounds a game
since his sophomore year.
Duke went undefeated last sea-
son in the AtianticCoast Confer-
ence, and finished the season as
the second best team in the na-
tion. Combine this with the fact
that they had 12 returning letter-
men and one realizes that the
Michigan team will have its hand
full.
With less than a week as a
breathing spell, the Wolverines
travel to the coast for the Classic.
Participating teams will be Il-
linois, West Virginia, Yale, UCLA,
Southern Cal, Pittsburgh and
NYU. Michigan plays NYU in the
first round.
The Violets fashioned an 18-5
record last year, winning 12
straight in the course of the sea-
son. Back from last year's squad
are All-American Barry Kramer,
second highest scorer in the na-
tion, and Harold (Happy) Hairs-
ton. Together, they averaged close
to 52 points per game.-

NEW. YORK ()-Y. A. Tittle,
the 37-year-old quarterback who
is the sum and total of the New
York Giants' offense, has been
named Most Valuable Player in
the National Football League by
an Associated Press 42-man panel
from the 14 league cities.
What Jimmy Brown is to the
Cleveland Browns, Tittle is to the
Giants, only more so. Y. A.'s worth
was shown on the one occasion
this year he couldn't play, be-
cause of some painfully bruised
ribs. The Giants were blanked by
Pittsburgh 31-0.
Substantial Win
The voting of the sports writers
and sportscasters returned Tittle
the winner by a substantial edge
over Brown. They were the only
two men to receive any votes in
this category.
Tittle, erratic at times when the
Giants' pass protection has broken
down, already has bettered two
all-time NFL passing records in
this, his 14th year of league com-
petition. That does not include
two years in the All-America Con-
ference with the old Baltimore
Colts.
Breaks Records
Y. A. has thrown the most
touchdown passes, 199, breaking
Bobby Layne's mark of 196, and
the most passes, 1,954, smashing
another Layne record. In addition,
Tittle has connected for 33 TD
passes this season, tying the mark
he set last year. He still has a
game to go, against Pittsburgh
Sunday in the showdown for the
Eastern title.
Tittle, a baldish man from Mar-
shall, Tex., by way of Louisiana
State, is completing his third year
with the Giants after previous
service at Baltimore and San
Francisco. He went to the Giants
from the 49ers in a deal for Lou
Cordileone, now a defensive tackle
with Pittsburgh.
Michigan's Bill Buntin will have
his hands full with 6'8" center
Ray Bennet, a surprise sophomore.
What's more, Coach Lou Rossini
can put another 6'8" man on the
court at the same time in Clem
Galliard.
Although taken lightly before
entering the game, Detroit pulled
a major upset last year by down-
ing the highly favored Wolverines,
83-70. Besides hurting its pride,
Michigan also was struck a severe
blow when Buntin injured his knee
during the contest and had to
come out. For several games there-
after, he had it heavily taped.
The Titans appear to be the po-
tential spoilers on anyone's sched-
ule as they almost beat Loyola
earlier this week. Detroit was tied'
by Loyola in the closing seconds
of the contest and was forced into
overtime after leading throughout
most of the game. Loyola finally
pulled it out, 113-108.-
Conference competition begins
against Northwestern after the
first of the year. Michigan took
one of its two encounters with the
Wildcats last year, and sophomore
center Jim Pitts is expected to
make Northwestern even tougher
this year in quest of a Big Ten
title.
Pitts is expected to be rough
under the boards, and along. with
guard Rich Falk, who averages
over 20 points per game, new
Coach Larry Glass has a talent-
studded squad. Marty Riessen,
Rick Lopossa and Phil Keeley
round out the starting five which
lost to NYU, Tuesday night, by the
slim margin of 75-66.
Michigan's final holiday encoun-
ter is with the Boilermakers, who
dropped two decisions to the Wol-
verines last year and finished in
the conference cellar. With ten
starters, Purdue should be a much-
returning lettermen including five
improved ball club.
