LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Stellar Defensive Work Earns McNeill Award Wolverines Again L ee c in A P Pol n. By BOB VOKAC Ed "Scotty" McNeil, nemesis of Gopher punters, proved his claim to fame as "Lineman of the Week" as he turned in a stellar perform- ance in last week's tilt with Min- nesota. McNeill, though, working - in close collaboration with big Al! Wistert, blocks punts. The icing of Minnesota last Saturday was due in large respects to a pair of foiled Gopher punts by the dash, courage and ability of the Wolverine de- fensive left end. ONCE BEFORE the hard- charging McNeill doomed an oppo- sition aggregation to failure when in 1945 the seventeen year old wizards of Michigan and Illinois were battling out a scoreless duel. "Scotty" completely ruined a cru- cial Illini punt that Lenny Ford scooped up to score and Michigan went on to rout the Eliotmen, 19-0. Incidentally, it was right af- ter the Illinois game that Fritz Crisler instituted the two team system and so far, the Wolver- ines have remained undefeated in nineteengames. Coming from the same town that has produced Bob Chappuis, Irv Wisniewski, Bob Harrison and Charlie Lentz, McNeill culminated his high school days in Toledo in 1945 fully prepared to trek down to Ohio State University. BUT FOR SOME unexplicable reason, the big twenty year old six foot end changed his mind within several days of registration and took off for Michigan. Although Bill Orwig is now varsity end coach, since Art Val- pey departed for Harvard, Mc- Neill was tutored in Civics, his- tory and football from him at Libbey High in Toledo. Much in the same fashion that Dick Rifenburg exploded in his first collegiate game in 1944 against the Iowa Seahawks, Mc- Neill repeated the situation in 1945 aganist Great Lakes.

Lineman of the Week Series Rivals Dominate A.P. All-Star Team Red Sox, Cards Each Place Two on Squad NEW YORK,-OP)-The Celve- land Indians and the Boston Braves, rivals in the last World Se- ries, each gained two berths on the Associated Press' 1948 major' league all-star team. THE REMAINDER of the dream squad is composed of two players each from the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox, and one each from the New York Yankees and New York Giants. Manager-shortstop Lou Bou- dreau and his keystone partner, Joe Gordon are the Indians on the squad. Third sacker Bob Elliott and pitcher Johnny Sain are the Braves' representatives. Of the ten men selected by 220 experts polled by the Associated Press, six are holdovers from the 1947 team. The incumbents are, Gordon, Boudreau, Elliott, first baseman Johnny Mize of the Giants, and outfielders Ted Wil- liams of the Red Sox and Joe Di- Maggio of the Yanks. NO PLAYER WAS an unani- mous choice. Williams, the all- star left fielder and American League batting champion and Stan Musial of the Cards, Na- tional League batting king, drew the most votes, 212. Musial's votes were scattered over three positions. The Card star drew 195 votes for right field, five for center and 12 for first base. DiMaggio won the centerfield berth in a breeze. The Yankee clipper gained 210 votes, third highest among the 63 vote getters. for the BOLD LOOK New wide-spread VAN BOLD with "Comfort Contour" collar.

"VAN HEUSEN" IS A TRADE MARK REGtoSTERfEDr to HE US F P.' TNT O)FFICE ' By B. S. BROWN They started out slowly, but the nation's scribes are slowly piling on the Wolverine bandwagon. Up until last week, when Michi- gan rated the most nods from the members of the fourth estate, No- tre Dame seemed to have the greenest fields. Johnny Lujack was gone but the votes kept com- ing in just as though the sling- ing quarterback were still toting for the green. * *' * BUT 11 DAYS AGO, Northwest- en's Wildcats met their nemesis at Ann Arbor and Michigan did it up brown. Bennie Oosterbaan saw his squad climb into the top spot with 74 first place votes and 1336 total points. Notre Dame picked up only 23 first place votes but trailed the Wolverines by a mere 128 points. Last Saturday, Michigan con- vinced a few more of the sports- writers. Coming from behind twice, the Wolverines sent the burly Gophers reeling for a full count, 27-14, while the wearers of the Green had to be satis- fied with a 27-12 win over a mediocre Iowa squad. Result: Michigan first this week with 117 first place ballots; Notre Dame second with 19 top votes. The Wolverines increased their point margin, totalling 1,885 to' 1,615 for the Irish, * * * NORTH CAROLINA's Tar Heels more than held their own in the show position as they received 12 more first place votes than they had last week. The 46 votes gar- nered by the Southerners, how- ever, failed to give them second place over Notre Dame since their point total was 47 short of the Irish's 1,615. It was just one year ago today that the two top positions were occupied by Michigan and No- tre Dame, but in the reverse or- der. Fritz Crisler's greatest aggrega- tion had built up a Michigan myth in the first four games of the sea- son, as all of the opposition fell before a mighty attack in on- sided contests. * * * BUT AFTER Minnesota pushed the Wolverines to the limit, mak- ing them come from the precipice of defeat to a 13-6 triumph, the scribblers voiced one loud opt- ion, "Michigan's myth has been exploded." That, plus the fact that No- tre Dame was still "supposedly" playing "under wraps," gave the men of Leahy the top rank- ing honor. Prior to the Brown Jug clash, Michigan was on top with 147 of the 168 first place votes. The Tues- day following the bruising battle at Ann Arbor, Notre Dame had 78 votes for first and 1,734 points to 69 first place ballots and 1,689 points for Michigan. TEXAS WAS IN third place after the Michigan-Gopher game with 25 first place votes and 1,516 points and Penn filled out the four top positions with 11 first place votes. Folowing the Gopher test, Michigan met Illinois as the Irish took on Navy. Michigan won, 14-7; Navy fell to' the Green onslaught, 27-0. Not taking cognizance of the quality of the foes of the two teams fighting for the top slot, the writers added to the Irish margin by handing them 28 more votes than they had the previous week. Michigan held its own, but the first place votes of Texas went to the South Bend squad. S* * AGAIN THIS SEASON, the foes in the fifth week of the campaign will be the same. Michigan meets the Fighting Illini and Leahy's shamrock toters will face a vic- tory-starved Navy eleven. 2-1) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Neither Michigan nor Notre Dame is slated for much opposi- tion, but any Big Nine game will produce more competition than a match with the Sailors, whose last great victory was off the coasts of Nippon. But those illustrious members of the fourth estate are a fickle bunch. If Notre Dame romps over the Blue and Michigan wins by a small margin, watch for Leahy to flash a broad smile, for his boys will certainly show strenigth in the poll, if not captivate it com- pletely.
