DOUBLE by merle levin, sports co-editor amok W7 leets Ohio for * Til Bowl Bids Hinge on Results Of Today's Top Grid Battles Minnesota, Wisconsin, Stanford, California Try for Post-Season Calls; Baylor on Spot * * * THE LAST OF THE FABULOUS Wisterts bows out of the Michi- gan sports picture today, writing 'finis' to an unparalleled chapter in Wolverine sports history that has been 18 years in the making. Not since the Poes of Princeton placed three brothers on All- American squads back at the end of the last century has there been anything comparable to the feats of Francis, Albert and Alvin Wistert. Their accomplishments read like a chapter from Frank Merriwell. Francis, known more familiarly as "Whitey," played tackle on Michigan's undefeated squads of 1932 and 1933 and was such a capable passer that he was often dropped back into the backfield to throw. When Wolverine coach Harry Kipke ran short of ends, Wistert was shifted into the wing slot temporarily. He played enough tackle, how- ever, to earn himself an All-American berth in 1933. Albert never played high school fgotball on "Whitey's" ad- vice, but he found himself at a starting tackle position for the Maize and Blue at the beginning of his soph-emore year in 1940 His play that year earned him All-Conference mention but he tailed off sharply the following season and they began to wonder if "The Ox" was a flash in the pan. He answered that question most sat- isfactorily in 1942 by walking off with All-American honors and the title of Most Valuable Player on the Michigan squad. The story of Alvin Wistert was saved for last and just as the old adage said, last was best of all the rest. * * * ALVIN, LIKE Albert never played high school football. (He made a stab at it but he couldn't make the varsity.) When he came to Michi- gan after four years in the Marines, a year at Boston University and several years as a salesman in Chicago, younger brother Albert was an established star in professional football and Alvin was a ripe 31. Playing against men 10 and 12 years his junior, Alvin proceded to outstrip both Francis and Albert by earning an All-American tackle berth in his junior year and then climaxed the list of Wis- tert achievements by being named to captain the 1949 squad. Thus in nine years of football at Michigan the Wisterts have earned All-American recognition three times (with a possibility of a fourth) and have also earned one 'Most Valuable' award and a* cap- taincy. DURING THEIR TENURE at Michigan the Wolverines have won 68 games (including a Rose Bowl victory) while losing eight and, tying three. At the same time the Wolverines were winning four Confer- ence championships and tying Purdue and Northwestern for a fifth. If you are one of the 97,239 fans who will jam Michigan Sta- dium today to see the Wolverines battle Ohio State in an effort to become the first team in Western Conference history to annex three consecutive undisputed titles, take a good look at the num- ber '11' which emblazons the generous chest of Alvin Wistert. It may be the last chance you'll have to see it anywhere outside of a glass case. That number has identified three All-Americans named Wistert. If Michigan officials don't see fit to place it in retirement along with Bennie Ooesterbaan's '47' and Tom Harmon's '98', it will be as good a case of gross negligence as any lawyer Francis Wistert has come across in his prosperous New York office. Wolverines' Defense Seeks To Brake Buckeves' Backs (Continued from Page 1) If Ohio State triumphs not only will they take the crown away! from Michigan, but will receive the bid to participate in the Rose Bowl! New Year's Day. * * * * MOST OF THE men who try a hand at calling the winner before the game takes place pick Michigan by six-and-a-half points. Et sounds pretty good, but in a traditional battle such as this one, it's nciL safe to give either team anything, especially this year. The teams are quite a bit closer than six-and-a-half points. One expert, who rates the teams on a scaling trigger point system of his own, gives Michigan a total of 102.7 and Ohio State 101.1. When it gets that close it's going to be the team with the spirit ard determination that will wind up on top. AN AIR of "This is it" hange over the Wolverine camp. Dead s E- riousness and an awareness of what is at stake in this afternoon's co ri- test is evidenced by every Michigan gridder. If there was ever a gai ne By The Associated Press CHICAGO While Michigan and Ohio State are fighting it out for the Western Conference title at Ann Arbor today, Minnesota's Gophers will play host to the Badgers of Wisconsin in a game that could well decide the Big Ten's representative in the Rose Bowl game. * * * REGARDLESS of the Ohio- Michigan outcome, Minnesota can- not squeeze into the title picture, but the Gophers-with a win over Wisconsin coupled with an Ohio loss-could finish tied with the Buckeyes for second and stake an almost certain bowl trip claim. Minnesota whipped Ohio, 27-0, midway in the season. Minnesota,boomed a sure-fire bowl prospect until the Gophers succumbed to Michigan and Purdue, rates a two-touchdown favorite over Wisconsin in their Minneapolis showdown which will be witnessed by an overflow 67,000. Out on the West Coast, at Palo alto, 90,000 will turn out to see California's power-laden Golden Bears try to crush Stanford for their 10th straight victory and qualify as the host team in the daddy of all the bowl contests at Pasadena. NOTRE DAME, the old mon- arch of the college tribes, faces an apparent breather against Iowa at South Bend, while the muscular Oklahoma Sooners, No. 2 in the Associated Press National Poll, are favored to rack up their 19th straight win over Santa Clara at Norman. Unbeaten Army rests up in preparation for its annual clas- sic with Navy next week at Phila- delphia. The Rice Owls, winners of four straight in the tough Southwest Conference, are fa- vored to make it five at the ex- pense of Texas Christian Uni- versity at Fort Worth and to clinch at least a tie for the con- ference crown. Baylor, the only other contender with a 3-1 conference record, faces- extinction if it loses to Southern Methodist at Dallas, as the ex- perts think it likely will. The southwest champion automatical- ly plays in the Cotton Bowl, may- be against Oklahoma. From all accounts, scouts from other bowls, including the Sugar and Orange, will help boost at- tendance at the clash between un- beaten Virginia and once-beaten Tulane at Charlottesville. JERRY KRALL Buckeyes' speedster Line-ups: for Michigan to win, "This is it." The old adage, "The best de- fense is a good offense," will be put to a severe test this after- noon. Ohio State ranks first in Conference statistics in the of- fensive department, while Mich- igan holds the top spot in de- fense. Ohio State has averaged 24.2 points per game and piled up ar average of 351 yards in each con- test so far this season. The Buck- eyes also lead the Conference in total passing with 163.2 yards per game. to be the deciding factor in to- day's contest. Michigan is not expected to be at full strength for the game. Eid Bob Hollway and guard Al Jac k- son are not likely to see action against the Buckeyes. FRED MORRISON ... provides power 1 OSU Pos. C.

MXClelland Takes Role Of 'MV' Sixty Minute Man ORPHEUM A~tic1i~vznZ now~ SPOUTS BILL BRENTON, Night Editor Pucksters Without Practice Place Until Old Coliseum Gets New Look , 1 Dear Boss:t I think an apology is in order., FOR TWO WEEKS now, you've been putting me on the carpet for not seeing Coach Vic Heyliger about his 1949-50 hockey team. Even though I've made every pos- sible excuse, you never have be- lieved my sorry plight. Well yes-r terday I decided to do something about the situation. I actually went -down to see Coach Heyliger, and guess what? The hockey squad hasn't even started to practice yet. In fact, they don't even have a rink! Whose face is red now? Remember how cold and cloudy the rink used to be last year and how wet we'd all get from the leaky roof? Not to mention the ease with which thousands of en-1 thusiastic fans could squeeze into] the ancient structure. ** * ALL THAT is being changed now. The athletic funds were tapped for $200,000. and an entire reconstruction job was started lash September 1 on the old rink to turn it into a modern hockey arena. Although the old rink had only been in use 27 years, not- withstanding the years it had pre- viously been an amusement build- ing, the powers-to-be decided a change was needed. About the only thing that hasn't been changed in the old building is the original site. Outside of that, a completely new shell is being built, com- plete with dressing rooms and enough seating capacity for 4000. A far cry over the former capacity for a scant 1000. To insure the spectator's com- fort, a two inch gypsum roof is being constructed that will be the latest in top-notch weatherproof- ing and insulation. A new light- ing arrangement is being installed and for the first time, the building will have a heating unit. OF COURSE, the gimmick to the whole venture has been the unavoidable delays that have been encountered, thus preventing the team from being on ice to date. Normally, November 1 is the scheduled date for hockey prac- tice to begin. (I'm not so far be- hind times after all!) Although the whole front end, part of the roof and most of the interior work is still under con- struction, Coach Heyliger figures that the team may be on ice right after Thanksgiving. Brine is now being pumped through the cool- ing system to iron out the kinks and help locate leaks in the pipes. IF ALL GOES right, sand pack- ing may start the first of next week. This builds the foundation upon which ice can be formed. Outside of this, boss, that's about all. Oh, student tickets will still be sixty cents for all home games. Your energetic scribe, Vokac * * * AT THE SAME TIME, however, the Wolverines pace the Big Nine in defense-as they have the past three years-having yielded only an average of 220 yards in each1 game.f The Buckeyes possess a ver- satile passing attack, spearhead- ed by quarterback Pandel Savic, which shows a completion per- centage of .473 as compared to .317 for their opponents. On the receiving end of Savic's tosses are two towering ends, Dickt Schnittker and Ralph Armstrong, both capable of lugging the ballj after the catch. IN THE GROUND side of the Buckeye attack are five break- away backs, Jerry Krall, Ray Ham- ilton, Jimmy Clark, Vic Janowicz and Fred Morrison. They all pos- sess plenty of speed and shiftiness and will give the Wolverine de- fenders trouble this afternoon. Michigan's attack is bolstered by the return of right half, Leo Koceski. He should add both a running and pass receiving threat to the Wolverine attackl which has been lacking in the+ latter department of late. The Maize and Blue offense will be spearheaded by the versatile Charlie Ortmann. His passing and running have sparked many a Wolverine drive and he may prove Scribes Vote Player Honor To Robin"son NEW YORK - (P) - Jackie Robinson, second baseman for the pennant-winning Brooklyn Dodgers, was chosen yesterday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America as thebNational League's Most Valuable Player for 1949. "It was quite a thrill to get the news," Robinson said. "In fact, it was my second biggest of the year. The first was the day we' clinched the pennant." The 30-year-old Negro, first of his race to reach stardom in major league baseball, easily won the annual award. He re- ceived 12 first place votes out of a possible 24. By JOHN BARBOUR In the fast, hard brand of foot- ball that today's colleges dish out, 60 minutes is a long time. Until the cold afternoon of November 5 not one Michigan Wolverine had remained on the field for the full period of play. THEN FROM the initial kick- off against Purdue to the last play of that Saturday afternoon, guard Don McClelland became the first 60-minute Wolverine since Pete Elliott. It marked a climax of persis- tence and work by McClelland. For the two years of '47 and '48 he had been understudying such Michigan greats as Q u en t Sickles, Stu Wilkins, and Dom Tomasi. In 1948, his second year of var- sity competition and his second season of winning a letter, he had played bit roles in Michigan wins over Purdue, Northwestern, Navy, Indiana, and Ohio State. Calumet High School went to Notre Dame, where another Calumet boy, George Gipp, had gone long before. The Ohio State game will be the last appearance of Don McClelland in a Michigan uniform. It will also get him his third Varsity letter in football. Climate, Diet WorryMSC' TUCSON, Ariz.-(AP)-The dras- tic change in climate conditions is causing Michigan State Coach Biggie Munn some worries prior to the Spartans' final game with Uni- versity of Arizona tonight.- Munn has warned his players against drinking too much water. He's afraid thirst caused by the dry climate might cause them to become logy. The coaches also are trying to cut down on the huge helpings of food the team has been taking Correction Adams House won the championship in volleyball league D, not Hayden House, as was erroneously reported in yesterday's Daily.
