_________1____ THE MICIGAN DAILY UEXA ehaVEMBER 2B, 1941 t ll, IngalYe Big Ten Coaches Pick Captain Bob Westfa Ii, Ingalls On All-Conference Foot& PAGE THREE ill Team CHICAGO, Nov. 24. -(A'P)- Minnesota's Golden Gophers won the Big Ten football championship and the largest slice off the con- ference all-star pie as well. Four members of the Gopher eleven were chosen to the honor team, announced t day, along with} two from Michigan and another pair from Northwestern. The biggest vote getters on the team, selected annually for the Associated Press by the Big Ten coaches, were Wisconsin's Dave, Bob Westfall Schreiner, end, and ]Michigan's high-powered full- back, Bob Westfall. Schreiner was the only man to win a perfect bal- lot-18 oints, representing a first team vote from every coach. Westfall, accounted the greatest full- back in a number of years in the conference, pplled 16 votes. Two points are given for the first team selection and one for second team. The balloting was marked by an unusually high number of players receiving recognition and by the closest kind of a race for backfield berths.j Westfall Greatest Spinner Back In Westfall, Michigan produced perhaps the greatest spinner-play fullback in recent Big Ten his- tory, a man whose performance for three seasons has been consistently brilliant. He drew 16 votes (seven for first team) to rank just behind Schreiner as a ballot-getter. Among the tackles the standout was Minnesota's Dick Wildung. The Gopher forward distinguished himself throughout the fall, his speed on covering punts drawing comment after every game. His teammate, Urban Odson, was handicapped by injury and failed to regain the All-Conference rating he was accorded in 1940. The other tackle, Northwestern's Al Bauman, started slowly, then played brilliantly in his final games. He was the only holdover from the 1940 AP first team. He will rank as one of the great tackles in Northwestern history. The steadiness of Minnesota's Len Levy and Pur- due's Tom Melton drew praise and votes from many coaches, these guards tying for top spot for those positions. At center, Michigan's Bob Ingalls walked away with the race for the pivot post, seven coaches nam- ing him to their first team. Hillenbrand Only Sophomore The backfield ranks with the best ever chosen and is marked by the rare selection of a sophomore- Indiana's all-around ace, Bill Hillenbrand. Min- nesota's Bill Daley was oie of the great rushers of the season and a fine defensive player. Bruce Smith, his brilliant teammate, was handicapped by injury suffered midway in the season, but the coaches disregarded the handicap in the belief he rated recognition on early-game showings. In all, 20 backfield men drew one or more votes in a "free for all" ballot which saw Wisconsin's bril- liant sophomore, Pat Harder, edged out by Daley and Hillenbrand., Pos. E. T. G. C. G. T. E. QB.

Bennie paid his first visit to tle Field House courts yesterday and wasted little time in putting his 25 candidates through their first intra- squad games. Assistant Coach Ernie McCoy has been holding evening practice sessions in the Sports Build- ing for past few weeks, but this was the first time they had had any real workouts. Only four lettermen-Capt. Bill Cartmill, Mel Comin, Leo Doyle, and Jim Mandler-were on hand to greet their coach and it is around them that Oosterbaan hopes to build a team. Don Holman, -Varsity baseball player, has seen service in Conference tilts before and no doubt will see muchaction this season. Six members of the football squad decided that they were tired playing a "sissy's game" and reported for bas- ketball yesterday. Paul White, Bob Shemky, Bill MacConnachie, Jack Petosky, Walt Freihofer-all members of last year's freshmen squad-and lay Sowers comprised this group, while Merv Pregulman, a fresh num- eral winner last year, indicated that he may make a bid for a starting berth on the Wolverine quintet. Morrie Bikoff, Ralph Gibert, Jack Flager, John O'Hara, Wally Spreen and Bob Gilbert showed great prom- ise on the frosh squad last year and Kuzma Takes Team's High, Scoring Title Now that Michigan's 1941 football season is carefully tucked away in the annals of gridiron history, a look into the scoring records of the team might bring out some interesting figures for the winter "cracker bar- rel" experts. For one thing, individual scoring wasn't nearly as lopsided as last year. Thomas Nudley Harmon walked away with high point honors when he tallied a total of 117 points, but in the season just completed scor- ing laurels were fairly evenly divided between Capt. Bob Westfall and Tom Kuzma. The sophomore halfback scored a total of eight touchdowns for a total of 48 points a compared to his teammate's 42 points. Bill Melzow, the Wolverines' ac-' complished place kicker, booted 12 conversions out of 15 trys to place himself aimong the best in the Mid- west. Harmon last year kicked 18 out of 28, for a much lower percent- age. The team as a whole was not quite the high scoring eleven as the pre- ceding squad was. The team this year tallied 147 points as compared to the 1940 squad's of 190. Those Who Hit Pay Dirt By BUD HENDEL An eager band of 13 Wolverine swimmers will set sail for the East at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Coach Matt Mann's station wagon and another automobile for two dual meets, twoA exhibitions, and a dance-all to take place within the space of two days. The highly-touted Michigan nauti- cal crew, holders of the Big Ten and National Collegiate swimming crowns, will arrive in Amherst, Mass., Thurs- day morning and spend the rest of the day recuperating from the long motor jaunt. Then on Friday Matt Mann will give the East its first look of the year at his high-powered ag- gregation in their inaugural of the season. Having been hard at work in the Sports Building pool since a week be- fore school began, the natators should be well primed for their first test of the tank campaign. Mann's Michigan mermen will swing into action at 3 p.m. Friday I against the Amherst College swim- ming team, and then they will put on an exhibition at Deerfield Acad- emy at 5 p.m. That same night theyl will journey to nearby Smith College to flex their mighty biceps before the admiring female student body. After they finish that task, the Wolverines will forsake the water for the waxed floor as they fulfill their pleasurable duties as guests of honor at a dance thrown by the Smith Col- lege girls. Then on Saturday light will come the toughest part of the sojourn. The swimmers will face the Olneyville All-Stars, a speedy aggregation com- posed of ex-college standouts, in Prov- idence, R. I. Sunday morning, Mann and his station wagon will lead the way back to Ann Arbor. The 13 men selected to make the Swimmers Leave For Season's Inaugural In East Tomorrow Season's Grid Figures Prove StrangeThings By JO ANN PETERSON The mighty men of Michigan foot- ball have made their final stab for glory this year. In an optimistic mood, we are going to endeavor to find out if there is any truth in the old state- ment that "figures are fun," and so we are going to play around a bit with the statistics about them. Apparently the call of figures is irresistible, because here, the tricky little "digits take the stand and point out a series of hitherto unexploed facts about the Vichigan football team. * Man's Hidden Desire In case there is, lurking in the manly chest of some gentelman on this campus, a hidden desire to be- come one of the famous gridiron greats of Michigan, here are some of the qualifications for glory. First of all, are you five feet eleven inches tall? Do you weigh about 183 pounds and are you 19 years old? If so, you are the same height, weight. and age as Mr. Average Michigan Football Player. However, if you don't fit these specifications your chances for fame aren't completely erased. There are two men on the team who weigh as little as 156 pounds and there is one who weighs as much as DOBSON BURTON trip are Capt. Dobby Burton, Gus Sharemet, John Sharemet, Dick Riedl, Jim Skinner, Bob West, Tom- my Williams, T-Bone Martin, Jack} Patten, Lou Haugpey, Ted Horlenko, BILL CARTMILLI dication that he intends to live up toI that honor. Oosterbaan indicated that he would cut the squad at the end of the week. "We don't have room for a squad of 25 men," the basketball coach ear plained. "About 17 or 18 is the size we want."

Galles Heads Veterans By BEN YANOWITZ Coach Cliff Keen's departure from the football wars to devote full time to wrestling for the coming season means that hard work, and lots of it, is toe order of the day, every day, for the grapplers during practice. Four returning lettermen head the thirty-odd matmen who have been working under Keen and the new as- sistant coach, Bob Antonacci. Cap- tain Jim Galles who wrestles in the 175 pound group heads the veterans group, which also includes Bill Court- right, Ray Deane and Herb Barnett. Merv Becker, who did not succeed in winning his letter last year but did show much promise, is also back. Though this group is not strong in numters, they are strong and respec- NEA Selects Westfall On All-American Squad Michigan's Captain Bob Westfall was chosen on the NEA News Serv- ice's All-American team. Bob Kole- sar, Al Wistert, Tom Kuzma, Bob Ingalls received honorable mention. Wistert and Westfall were selected, by the International News Service on their Big Ten Conference team. Wis- tert was chosert as a guard and West- fall in his regular position as a full- back Ingalls and Kuzma were placed on tie second team. *000*0090 0000016 Order your 0 0 G\FTS 0 N I f~ A0 ted when one considers the records of the letter-winners. Galles went through last year's entire dual season without a defeat, easily won the Big Ten 175 pound championship, and took a third place in the National Intercolegiate Meet. Both Courtright and Barnett copped third place in this same Big Ten meet in their weight divisions, 136 pounds and 165 pounds respectively. Ray Deane's fine record in dual meet competition last season assures grunt and groan fans that he con be relied on in the Wolverine quest for titles. Galles Undefeated Port Robertson, assistant to Keen, was the first to be affected by the national emergency, for he was called to the colors at the close of the last season. Lightning in the form of a low draft number struck Tom Sparks, an outstanding wrestler who had been kept out of competition in his first two years at Michigan by o1' man in- eligibility. "Sparky" was being counted on for a lot of points in the big meets. Apparently lightning has struck a third time in the same place, for dim- inutive, likeable Bob Antonacci, who was selected to fill assistant coach Robertson's shoes now appears to be headed for Gene Tunney's naval for- ces to escape the draft. It is things like this that make Keen shake his head and wonder every now and then. Coach Keen feels that-he has fine material in all divisions except the lightweight and heavyweight groups. The end of. football season should bring more heavyweights to the squad, but capable men in the 121 pound group seem to be scarce. All students interested in the sport may stll try out for the team, and those who can meet the lightweight qualifi- cations are especially urged to try out.
