Texas faces a possible tar- tar in Texas Christian at Fort Worth. Highlighting the day's pro- gram in the South is North Carolina's attempted comeback against Maryland at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. The Tar Heels' claim to national honors received a jolt in last week's 7-7 deadlock with Wil- liam and Mary. Ohio State at Illinois and Mine- nesota at Iowa top the Big Nine slate as Northwestern plays out- side the conference. Oklahoma, fresh from its rip-roarin6 con- quest of Missouri, tackles a lack- luster Nebraska eleven at Nor- man. WITH A LUSTY NINE out of ten correct guesses in last week's prognostications our season's average took a tremendous leap way back over the .700 mark. Only the Georgia Tech-Tennessee scramble marred our perfect record as our favorites came through in great style. With 48 wins and 18 losses, our average now stands at .727. * ** * MICHIGAN-INDIANA-The Wolverines get another crack at bettering Notre Dame's score and moving into a commanding lead over the Irish in the AP poll. Notre Dame won by 36 points, maybe Michigan will win by 37. MINNESOTA-IOWA-The Gophers may not be leading the Big Nine, but they've got the top offensive and defensive club according to the statistics. Iowa hasn't got anything except a fighting spirit. Minnesota will move on to another victory, but they aren't going anywhere. PURDUE-PITT-Pitt has been running hot and cold this season, but Purdue has just been running frigid. Pitt took a bad beating at the hands of Ohio State and they shouldn't fare too well against the victory-starved Boilermakers. Purdue to romp. NORTHWESTERN-NOTRE DAME-Northwestern has plenty at stake in this battle of two titans. Like most of the other top Big Nine schools, the Wildcats are dropping the Irish from their schedule after this game. This is the year for Northwestern. They have a Rose Bowl bid almost clinched and a victory over Notre Dame would heal a lot of wounds. But the Irish still play football for keeps and much as we'd love to see that upset, we'll begrudgingly stick with the favorite, Notre Dame. . ILLINOIS-OHIO STATE-On a basis of their showing against Michigan the Illini have been installed as favorites in this one. But the Bucks have a well-rounded attack and this is going to be our upset of the week. Ohio State in a real thriller to set the stage for a mighty battle between the Buckeyes and Michigan a week hence. WISCONSIN-MARQUETTE-The Badgers have to win sometime. And this looks like the tweek. Marquette has hopes, but not much else. Wisconsin should win this one, but then again they should have won a few others. * * *C NAVY-COLUMBIA-Here is a contest between a couple of teams that have run into tough schedules and more than their share of bad luck. The Lions are a good ball club for three quarters and the Middies fight all the time. Columbia has won a couple this season, but Navy is still looking. So, putting our jinx on the Navy Blue and Gold, we'll pick the Middies. ARMY-PENN-The Army has got it again, they've come up with another juggernaut. Penn is good, but they had a rude awakening last week. Maybe they'll be up for this game, but Army is the stronger team. The Cadets to win, but not easily. CORNELL-DARTMOUTH-The Big Red and the Big Green tangle in another top Eastern brawl. Cornell has lost only to Army, while Dartmouth seems to gather strength each week. It's a toss-up but since we're using an Indian penny we'll pick the Indians of Dart- mouth to triumph in a very close game. Three Touchdown Rally Beats Wisconsin, 20-12 Victory Keeps Team in Running for Title; Ryan, Marshall Star in-Second Straight Win By SY SONKIN After spotting Wisconsin a 6-0 halftime lead, Michigan's 150- pound gridders roared back for three touchdowns to gain a 20-12 vic- tory yesterday, and stay in the running for the little Big Nine title. This game ended the Badger schedule giving them a record of three wins and one loss. Michigan, with two wins in three starts, can tie Wisconsin for the crown by beating Ohio State next week. TWO OF THE WOLVERINE scores were made by fullback Bud Marshall; and Prentice Ryan, a standout onoffense and defense, all afternoon, went over for the other. The line, led by Captain Don O'Connell, was magnificent, opening holes for the' Michigan backs while holding the Wis- consin running attack to 88 yards. I J i l I SCORES TWICE-Lightweight fullback Bud Marshall crashed over for two touchdowns yes- terday to lead the little Wolver- ines to an upset victory over Wisconsin.

A V 4, JY VV Distance Men Run Throuoh TimeTrials Rounding out a month and a half of pre-season practice, Mich- igan's hard working distance men went through their final time trial under the watchful eyes of year- ling coach Don Canham and his' assistant Elmer Swanson. The one and a quarter mile dis- tance was swiftly covered by both varsity and freshmen alike, there being sufficient participation to warrant two separate sections in the event. The varsity was led by Bruce Vreeland, Shel Capp, and Ted Birdsall, with Doug Parks, War- ren Dwyer, Fred Stoliker, and Arnold Gowans following close on their heels.P Fiery haired Vreeland's time was a good 6:40. Half-mile stalwart1 Bob Thomason started well but was forced to pull up midway through the race because of a turned ankle.I Don McEwen and Aaron Gor-t don paced the freshmen thin- clads to a good showing, with Ron Packer, Bill Hickman, and Larry Lange furnishing the clos- est competition. The freshmen have been out in force since the beginning of the semester, and have shown fine form in their work to date.l This time trial is to be followed 1 by a team race today and two other events next week, after which the entire squad will retire to Yost Field House, where they will train until the latter part of January when the indoor season opens. 'J' Fresh men FiuishDrills Michigan's freshmen football team wound up its fall practice ses- sions yesterday with the 35 nu- meral winners running through a light drill and posing for the squad picture. These 35 youthful gridders are the cream of the crop of nearly 140 frosh that answered Coach Wally Weber's call for practice eight weeks ago. In this relatively short period the colorful frosh mentor and his assistants have cone a tremendous job in developing the green inex- perienced group that greeted them the first day. The best indication of the strength of the team is the terrific showing the frosh made in scrim- mage against Don Robinson's jay- vees. Several times the "B" team was lucky to play on even terms with the first year footballers and on one or two occasions were com- pletely outclassed. The Wolverines had two scoring scored, but they fumbled away the - first and lost the second through a penalty. * * . AFTER THE Maize and Blue had moved the ball to Wisconsin's 20, Ryan fumbled and Bill Mc- Cormick recovered for the Badgers. Michigan got another break in the second quarter when Bruce Borden, standing back to punt, fumbled the pass from center and was hit on his own 39-yard line. On the first play Ryan sped around left end to the 15. Then Xate4 t (4114 The University of Michigan Skating Rink, Hill and Fifth, will be open to the public to- night from 8-10 and Sunday from 3-5 p.m. Admission will be 25 cents for students with ID cards, 35 cents for faculty em- ployees, and 50 cents for the general public. Marshall ran to the five, but the gain was nullified by an offside penalty and the Wolverines were stalled once more. * * IT WAS HERE that the Badgers took over and moved for their first touchdown, and it was a Michigan penalty that got them started. McCormick made two yards to the 15, and then the Wolverines were penalized for unnecessary roughness. This 15-yard gift took the Badgers out of the danger zone. In 12 plays, the invaders marched to the Michigan 20, but the Wolverines held them to five yards in three downs. Then left half Tom Stouthamer faded back and threw a pass to Dwaine Dick- inson on the goal line. Dick Ko- cinski's kick was wide. *' * * , WITH THE opening of the sec- ond half, the Wolverines were a new team. The first three times they got their hands on the ball they went all the way. After Moorish ran the kickoff to the Michigan 32, the Maize and Blue scored in 10 plays with Marshall plunging over from the one-foot line. Michigan scored the extra point when Wilcox, back to kick, took a high pass from center and ran over. I ( jz are doomed to extinction without RYAN WENT OVER the next time from nine yards out climax- ing a 66-yard drive in which he accounted for over half of the yardage. Wilcox' kick was good and Michigan led, 14-6. The last Wolverine score came in the fourth period when Mar- shall went over from the two. Wilcox kicked wide on this try. Wisconsin came back to score after Coach Cliff Keen sent in his reserves. Halfback Ralph Haffey cut inside his right end and sprint- ed 51 yards to score. Kocinski's attempt was again wide, and the Wolverines maintained possession of the ball until the game ended. ,r -soft I demand for individual engraving of cuff links and tie bars by courtesy of BAY'S ARCADE JEWELRY SHOP opportunities before the BadgersI ( I,, how to get up?
