By virtue of the Wolverine vic- tory over the Buckeyes and Wis- consin's 20-12 win over Illinois during the past week-end, Mich- igan and the Badgers completed the initial season of 150-pound football in a virtual tie for the Big Nine championship. 150 Pound Football 'Successful' The Wolverines demonstrated their superiority in the Confer- ence by running up big scores against their three other confer- ence opponents, defeating the co- champion Wisconsin 20-0 on a slushy field, Ohio State 39-0, and Illinois 33-0. Their lone defeat was at the hands of Ohio State early in the season in the first of a home and home series at Ann Arbor played during a driving rainstorm, 13-2. The "big experiment" which brought lightweight football to the Western Conference has been termed by all concerned as highly successful and is a sure bet to return again next season with the possible addition of several teams.

Michigan's 'most valuable' Bump Elliott Voted Team'S 'Mast Valuable' Tops Wolverine List In Scoring with 9 TDs Chalmers "Bump" Elliott was voted the "most valuable player" on this season's Michigan eleven by his teammates last night. Top Scorer The sorrell-topped right half- back from Bloomington, Ill., led the Wolverine scoring list with 54 points and captured' the Big Nine scoring title with 36 tallies. Carrying the ball 68 times for 439 net yards, the swivel-hipped Elliott earned a 6.46 per try rush- ing average. He caught 16 passes for 318 yards, two resulting in Wolverine touchdowns, and in Conference play he snarred 14 passes which gained 303 yards and the championship in that depart- ment. Stars on Offense and Defense One of the most versatile per- formers in the Big Nine cham- pionship backfield, Elliott was a workhorse on both offense and de- fense. While protecting his defen- sive territory, he intercepted five passes which halted opponents scoring drives andadded 92 yards to his own total. In the Illinois tilt the Bumper broke up a desper- ation aerial attack in the last few minutes of the game by hauling in an Illini pass. In addition, Michigan's all- Conference wingback completed two out of four throws for 55 yards, thus giving him a net total of 494 yards accumulated in 72 plays. St. Louis Sold To Hannegan ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25-(A)-The St. Louis Cardinals and their far- flung minor league holdings were sold today to Postmaster General Robert E. Hannegan and Fred M. Saigh, Jr., St. Louis attorney. Sam Breadon, who invested $2,- 000 in the National League club as a "civic gesture" 30 years ago and built one of baseball's strongest organizations, announced the sale at a press conference. At the same time, Hannegan's resignation from his cabinet post to head the Cardinal organization was announced in Washington to become effective Dec. 1. M Awa(irded Five Positioms On UP Team Michigan dominated the United Press All-Big Nine teams as it placed five men on the first eleven, two on the second, while four linemen received honorable men- tion for their play with the Con- ference champions. Almost the entire backfield is manned by Wolverines with How- ard Yerges at quarterback and Bob Chappuis and Bump Elliott in the halfback slots. Fleet footed Bob Mann was awarded an end berth on the first squad line with teammate Bill Pritula, outstanding offensive tackle. The second eleven found Len Ford holding down one flank be- cause of his remarkable defensive work, while spinning Jack Weis- enburger was selected at fullback. Receiving honorable mention were Captain Bruce Hilkene and Al Wistert, tackles; Dom Tomasi. guard; and Dan Dworsky, center.

The Rose-Bowl bound Wolver- ine machine, which romped to nine successive victories (six of them in Conference play) this year, was officially acclaimed yes- terday as the Big Nine's leading offensive and defensive power, ac- cording to complete team figures released by the Western Confer- ence Service Bureau. In the six Conference tussles, Fritz Crisler saw his power-laden charges average 379.3 yards per game, total offense, and 5.8 yards per play, running and passing. This stands as a peak performance by any team in modern Confer- ence annals. . Further breakdown of statis- tics shows that Michigan's spinner offense averaged 47.7 running plays and 17 passing plays per Conference game and averaged 5.0 yards and 8.0 yards, respectively, each time. In compiling its record total offense mark, the Wolver- ines averaged 242.5 yards on the ground and 136.8 via the air lanes. Wins Keep Mounting Climaxing their regular season Saturday with a 21-0 triumph over a stubborn Ohio State eleven, the Maize and Blue thus boosted its all-time Conference record to 230 victories, 151 defeats and 61 ties. Its all-time, all-games rec- ord shows 377 successes, 107 set- backs, and 21 deadlocks. Only a few noteworthy marks slipped away from the 1947 edi- tion of the Wolverines. Illinois, sparked by the short, accurate pitching of quarterback Perry Moss, compiled a season passing average of .509 while Michigan rated second best with a .471 mark. Fourth in Punting Wisconsin, with two excellent punters in Earl (Jug) Girard and T. A. (Tex) Cox, finished with the best team punting average, 39.4. In this department, Michigan, em- ploying Jack Weisenburger's strong right foot most of the time, finished fourth in the Conference with an average punt 37.0. Indiana, despite its second di- vision finish, limited opponents to the fewest first downs, 9.7 per game, and punted the fewest times, 3.9 per game. Michigan's alert gridders were most effective in the pass-inter- ception department. And the Wolverines piled up more points in Conference appear- ances-172-and held the opposi- tion to the least amount of tal- lies-40.

BROWN Coach Vic Heyliger put his hockey charges through one of the most intensive scrimmages of the pre-season practice sessions yesterday in final preparation for the invasion by the Detroit Red Wings Friday night. The former Chicago Black- hawker announced his three of- fensive lines for the exhibition match, but emphasized that the men named would not necessar- ily hold those positions for the rest of the season. "The boys' performance against the Red Wings will help me decide on my starting team for the first -game of the season," Heyliger said. Wally Gacek, who has scored an average of one goal a game in the last seventeen contests, Al Ren- frew and Gordie MacMillan, who both netted a team high of 38 points last year, will make up the first line. Veterans Bill Jacobson and Ted Greer team up with new- comer Owen McArdle to form the second Wolverine line. The third offensive trio will be composed of Sam Stedman, a two-year man, Leonard Brumm and Al Nadeau, with Paul Fontana the single spare. Connie Hill, captain of the Michigan squad for the third year, will be at the starting de- fensive positions, with Dick Starrak, Herb Upton, and husky Bob Marshall, all experienced defensemen, ready for the call from Heyliger. Jack MacInnes, outstanding goalie in the 1945-46 campaign, will probably see action, but in holding with the arrangements made between Red Wing Man- ager Jack Adams and Heyliger, he will only be used by the De- which will be kept by the winning school only until the next race is run, there will be three individ- ual cups given to the schools fin- ishing in first, second, and third places. These three cups will be kept by the schools permanently. The intercollegiate program, beginning Friday morning, will continue until its completion Saturday noon. Winners will be announced Sunday morning and given their cups, and the winning school will oppose the Chicago Yacht Club members to conclude the -weekend activi- ties. In the two previous races this year, the Michigan and Denison Invitational Trophy Regattas, the Michigan' crews twice emerged victorious. one point margin that now sep- arates them from the rest of the National Hockey League flock. In the past two games, the red shirts have trounced the Chi- cago Blackhawks, Heyliger's former team, by 8-5 and 9-2 scoresto jump into first place by the narrow margin.
