Chappuis Paces Big Nine Backs
Northwestern Trio Rates ini Top Ten;
Rainrondi Throws for Most Yardage
CHICAGO, Oct. 22 -(&)- Official Big Nine statistics, listing Michi-
gan's Bob Chappuis as the league's individual offensive leader with 358
yards in three games, ranked Northwestern's Vic Schwall, Art Murakowski
and Frank *Aschenbrenner among the top eight gainers.
The remarkable thing about the Wildcat ball-carrying trio is that
their yardage mainly has resulted from rushing, a department in which
Coach Lynn Waldorf's explosive Purple excelled in Big Nine wins over
Wisconsin and Minnesota and a 14-14 deadlock with co-leading Mich-
igan.
Murakowski, 195-pound freshman fullback who looms as the Conference
rookie of the season, has battered 215 yards in three games for the league's
biggest rushing total. He hasn't produced a yard by passing, yet ranks
sixth in total offense.
Schwall, top Conference scorer with 26 points on three touch-
downs and eight conversions in as many tries, has hammered 208
yards and gained 21 on passes for a fourth-place total of 229. Aschen-
brenner has rushed 169 yards and added 41 tossing aerials for 210, good
for an eighth-place tie.
Among players who have carried the ball 20 or more times, Fullback
Ed Cody of Purdue has the best average of 6.6 with 139 yards in 22 at-
tempts. He is followed by Schwall and Chappuis with 6.3. Art Duffelmeier
of Illinois, with 120 yards in 20 tries, has 5.9, while Murakowski and Asch-
enbrenner are tied at 5.8.
Iowa's Bob Sullivan and Dick Hoerner, who may cause Notre Dame
plenty of trouble in their meeting at Iowa City Saturday, have averaged
7.4 and 5.3, respectively, in three league games. Sullivan, however, has
carried the ball only 18 times for 134. while hard-hitting Hoerner has been
the busiest Conference back, making 40 trips for a 213 net.
. Although Chappuis is the nominal passing leader with 10 com-
pletions in 15 tosses for 169 yards and a .667 percentage, actual pace-
setter is brilliant Ben Raimondi of Indiana's bedraggled defending
champions. Raimondi has connected on 30 of 61 flips for 358 yards

LAW'SGOT 111H
Studies Force Freihofer
To Give Up Griidirou Caer
Walt Freihofer, Wolverine guard, revealed yesterday that he had been
forced to give up his football career due to the pressing demands put upon
him by his studies in Law School.
Freihofer, a 21-year-old, six foot, 180-pounder from Indianapolis, re-
turned to the Michigan gridiron scene this year after a three-year tour in
the armed forces. His last season with the Wolverines came in 1942, the year
of the famed "Seven Oak Posts" and the 32-20 triumph over Notre Dame.

Cage Tryouts
Face Season's
First Cut Today
Some unhappy hoopsters will
trudge dejectedly off the Yost Field
House court today, as Coach Ozzie
Cowles breaks the sad news of the
year's first cut in personnel.
This has been necessitated, ac-
cording to Cowles, because of the
surprisingly large turnout of 105
candidates, a new record in Michi-
gan basketball annals, which has
forced the team to hold its work-
outs in the field house and I-M
building simultaneously.
Today's issuance of walking pa-
pers will not be extensive because
Cowles is anxious to retain all can-
didates that exhibit any degree of
basketball proficiency.
Although the team has been prac-
ticing since Oct. 16, Coach Cowles
has not held any intra - squad
scrimmages. In the daily two hour
sessions, he has been stressing fun-
damentals.

Harris Named
Yank Manager
Report Decision Made
At Secret Conference
NEW YORK, Oct. 22-(,P)-The
Daily News says it has learned that
Stanley (Bucky) Harris has been se-
lected as manager of the New York
Yankees and Charley Dressen, coach
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, ,has been
named as his No. 1 aide.
The News said the decision was
made here today in a "hush-hush
session" attended by Larry MacPhail,
president of the Yankees; Will Har-
ridge, American League President,
Harris and Dressen. (
Harris, one-time "boy wonder"
and former manager of the Wash-
ington Senators, was signQd by the
Yankees last month as an untitled
administrative assistant to MacPhail.
The News said it had learned Har-
ris was tendered a two-year con-
tract at $40,000 a year.
Reached soon after the first edi-,
tion of the News had hit the street,
Arthur (Red) Patterson, assistant to
MacPhail, said the Yankee prexy
"had been sick in bed all day with a
touch of the grippe."
"Somebody obviously is fishing,"
Patterson added.

placement action during the year
He spelled Bob Kolesar at guard.
Michigan at Full Strength
Beyond Freihofer's absence, the
Wolverines will be at full strength
for the all-important clash with Illi-
nois this Saturday. Guard George
Burg, who suffered an ankle injury
in the Iowa game, is reported ready
for duty. Jack Weisenburger is also
slated for action despite a fractured
jaw received in the Army battle.
In the daily scrimmage sessions,
meanwhile, Coach Fritz Crisler has
again been stressing a pass defense.
This department has been a weak
spot in an otherwise strong Wolver-
ine eleven. The Illini staged an ex-
cellent aerial attack in last Satur-
day's last minute decision over Wis-
consin's Badgers, and Crisler is ex-
pecting the Champaign visitors to
fill the air with some tricky tosses
this Saturday.
Eliot's Team Ready
Coach Ray Eliot's team will come
to Ann Arbor primedstoa peak. Any
team; which combines the running
threat of Buddy Young, Paul Pat-
terson, and Julie Rykovich, with the
passing of Perry Moss can be dan-
gerous offensively.
The line that Eliot has fashioned
this year is big and rugged. The ends
are one of the strongest spots on the
team, with Sam Zatkoff, a Ham-
tramck sophomore, and Ike Owens
holding starting berths.

Tommy Coates, representing A.T.O.
yesterday captured the inter-fra-
ternity two mile cross-country race
in 11:51 followed by Rollin Storey of

efforts of Mancl's finishing fifth,
Greer right behind in sixth, Lathrop
in 15th place, Theidel, in the 24th
slot and Walters winding up in the

Close behind the winning combi-

torious over 67 contestants represent-
ing 12 fraternities.

After a recount of points scored
in the residence hall track meet
last Wednesday, the intramural de-

resulting 22 points.
