FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Cagers Test Broncs To Open Holiday Schedule 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 Broadcasts,. If present plans hold, there will be no radio broadcast to Ann Arbor of Michigan's bas- ketball games in the Los An- geles Classic. However, both WAAM (1600 k.) and WUOM (91.7 FM) expect to carry all four of the other regularly scheduled games during the holidays: Duke, Detroit, North- western, and Purdue. after being upset by Vanderbilt 97-92 in overtime Wednesday evening. Jeff Mullins, picked by pre- season scribes as a "good" All- American choice led the Blue Devils down the stretch last year when Art Heyman's scoring began falling off. Mullins, who stands 6'4", has been averaging over 20 m Champs o See Action Michigan's top trampoline trio, ary Erwin, Fred Sanders, and ohn Hamilton, will perform at alftime of tomorrow night's bas- etball game with Western Michi- an. * Just last weekend, Erwin, de- riding NCAA champ, won his ird tramp championship in a w at the Midwest Open. Sanders defendngBig Ten champ, while+ amilton finished fourth. 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.- Pick Tittle; For Award As Top Pro I , 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. Top gun for them is All-Big Ten P acis1"w ant i rc KI n.A/ 1 3 V" * ) LvI I N 'VY IG ~NEW 19" G.E.
