TCTESDAY, NOVEMBER I9, 1949 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Ortmann Gets A Ali- Midwest Berth p9', Fighting Irish Place Four, Dominate Annual AP Picks A few orchids and otherwise are in order as King Football omits his last dying gasps of 1949, so before the old boy expires, a quick tip of the chapeau to: Best opponent-With no qualms, Army. The Cadets had great quarterbacking, accurate passing, excellent receiving, a variety of good runners and a tremendous defensive team. What else can you ask? Best game-Ohio State. The Buckeye fray had everything, long runs, important fumbles, some great pass receiving, vicious tackling and blocking and one of the most dramatic kicks for point after touch- down in lo! these many, many years of collegiate football. Best individual performance (Michigan)-Dick Kempthorn-and if you have to pick a game make it the Ohio State tilt. Michigan may never field The Killer's equal again. He was so consistently singled out for praise by rival coaches who had watched him bottle up their of- fense that the plaudits began to grow repetitious. t Best individual performance (opponent) -The quarterbacking of Army's Arnold Galiffa. The Cadet signal-caller was easily the. best back to perform against Michigan this year. His running and passing left little to be desired and his choice of plays left the Wolverine de- fenses wide open and, at times, sadly bewildered. Best play-Harry Allis' one-handed grab of a Chuck Ortmann pass against Illinois. Allis wound up in the end zone 51 yards away while the stands gasped and Illini coach Ray Eliot checked his program to see if Bob Mann hadn't used up his eligibility. Most promising sophomore (Michigan)-A toss-up between Tom Johnson and Don Peterson. You'll be hearing a lot from both of these boys before they turn in their Maize and Blue jerseys two years hence. Amazingly fast for his 230 pounds, Johnson developed into a solid blocker and sure tackler under the tutelage of Jack Blott. Peterson, a fast, hard-running wingback and an excellent pass receiver is still somewhat green but he could give Leo Koceski a real tussle for his job now that he has a year of varsity experience under his belt. Most promising sophomore (opponent) -Johnny Karras, is good but Harry Hugasian of Stanford is better. Hugasian is faster, harder to hit and an excellent defensive halfback. It looks like the Cardinals have come up with their best bet for an All-American back since the fabulous days of Albert, Kmetovic, Gallerneau and Standlee in the per- son of Harry the Hipster. Most improved player-Charlie Lentz who was kept around for two years mainly on the strength of his passing ability. Given a chance on defensive after Ortmann's unfortunate accident against Army, Lentz developed into a first class safety man. He tackled hard, ran well and on the basis of the records was the best pass interceptor in mod- ern Western Conference history. Most underrated player-Al Wahl, who apparently wasn't under- rated by his teammates as his recent election to the captaincy will testify. A solid ball player he has been overshadowed by his fellow tackle Al Wistert for two years. Next year should be a different story. . Turning from the orchids to the otherwise, a thumb of the nose to: Worst opponent-Without attempting a slap at the Pacific Coast Conference, Stanford. The Cardinals, overawed at playing Mighty Michigan fell completely apart by the middle of the second quarter, thus nosing out Indiana which never stopped trying to beat the Wol- Sverines. With a little better pass receiving Michigan could have rolled up 50 points against the hapless Westerners. Worst play-That unexplainable regular kick off to Northwestern with tess lhan a minute remaining in the game and the Wolverines trailing by one point. Every rule of common sense called for an at- . tempted onsides kick but the ball sailed high and true deep into Wild- cat territory where it was an easy matter for the Purple and White gridders to "run out the clock." Biggest flop-the Minnesota line. The mammoth Gaphers had what was billed as the best line in the country but you couldn't prove it by me. The lighter, faster Michigan line outcharged the Gophers all afternoon with the result that the Gophers were a very tired bunch of young men by the time the final gun sounded. Biggest disappointment-The failure of Harry Allis to develop into the All-American candidate many observers, including myself,, be- lieved he would become. A fine defensive end and an usually capable receiver, Allis just dropped too many passes this season. Silliest statement-"Name the football fault, Michigan has it this year"-Father T. Devine. Oklahoma Second Wistert, Heneveld with Two Named to Line Berths ; Second Eleven AP Sports Flashes NEW YORK-Unbeaten, untied Army was unanimously chosen yesterday to receive the Lambert Trophy, symbolizing the best col- lege football team in the East. It was the fifth time in the last six years the cadets had won the award. The trophy will be pre- sented to Coach Earl Blaik to- morrow. The award is made on a vote of sports writers. Army won its ninth straight game last Saturday, hum- bling Navy, 38-0. MSC Grabs NCAA Harrier Meet Title; Black Tops. Field Gehrmann Second As Rhode Island Ace Repeats Win On Snowy Course i__,_-__________i_ ' CHICAGO - (P) - Notre Dame plucked two line positions andt two backfield berths to dominate the 1949 All-Midwestern football team picked yesterday by the As- sociated Press. Oklahoma, also an unbeaten, top-ranked eleven, won two spots on the honor team which averages 219 pounds on the line and 182 in the backfield. ONE POSITION each went to co-champion Michigan, Minneso- ta, Illinois and Wisconsin of thej Big Ten, and Michigan State. The sole repeaters from last year's all-star lineup were end Leon Hart and fullback Emil Sitko of Notre Dame. The other two Irish aces honored were quarterback Bob Williams and tackle Jim Martin. Oklahoma's two selections were both linemen, tackle Wade Walk- er and guard Stan West. Round- ing out the No. 1 forward wall were Wisconsin's versatile star, Bob Wilson, at end; Michigan State's Don Mason at guard; and Minnesota's Clayton Tonnemaker at center. * * * BACKFIELD running mates of Notre Dame's Williams and Sitko are sophomore Johnny Karras of Illinois, who established a new Big Ten rushing record of 732 yards, and Michigan's Chuck Ort- mann, the Big Ten's total offense leader for the second straight sea- son. Among sectional stars relegat- ed to the second team by close margins were halfbacks George Thomas of Oklahoma and Lynn Chandnois of Michigan State, both brilliant performers. Thom- as wound up as a Big Seven rec- ord-breaking scorer with 105 points. The all-star line gets most of its heft from 245-pound Hart, 240-pound Tonnemaker and 236- pound West.

Tackle Lou Allen of Duke nailed down the third slot in the poll. BOSTON - Johnny Clayton, Dartmouth's brilliant quarterback and forward passer, yesterday was announced as the 1949 winner of the George (Bulger) Lowe Memo- rial Award. It is voted annually to New England's outstanding col- lege football player by the Grid- iron Club of Boston. DETROIT-It was back to work yesterday for Bo McMil- lin's Detroit Lions as they began preparations to entertain New York's Bulldogs after Thanks- giving's 28-7 setback at the hands -of the Chicago Bears. EAST LANSING, Mich.-(P)- Bony Bob Black of Rhode Island State won back his title as king of the distance runners at NCAA cross country meet here yesterday. The 120-pound "Flying skele- ton" loped over the four-mile course forda repeat victory in a time of 20:25.7. For Black, it was a case of redeeming himself after coming in 34th in the IC4A dis- tance meet last week. DON GEHRMANN of Wisconsin was second, an exact duplicate of the one-two placing of the runners last year. All the favorites won, as Mich- igan State took the team title in the meet. The Spartans were the NCAA champions in 1948. Black paced himself nicely to win the run. He was in the middle of the pack at the start but had worked his way up behind Gehr- mann at the two mile mark. HE PASSED the Wisconsin run- ner at two and one half miles and never was headed. Half a mile from the finish, Gehrmann tried to put on a kick but didn't have enough left and trailed by a wide 30 yards at the tape. DICK SHEA, the Army runner who scored a surprise upset by winning the IC4A grind, was 19th. Michigan State won the team competition by placing men in spots 2-6-9-15-27. The team winner is figured without count- ing the individual runners who are not competing as members of a five-man group. Syracuse was second in the team race, Manhattan third, Penn State fourth and Army, winner of the IC4A team title, fifth. Varsity Yell Squad Picks '50 Captain Tom Tillman, '51, was elected captain of Michigan's cheerleading squad for the 1950 sports season last night at the I-M Building. Tillman succeeds Dave Lace, who has captained the squad for three years and will continue in that capacity for the remainder of this semester. Lake graduates this February. TILLMAN, WHOSE antics on the Wolverine goalposts pleased crowds at innumerable Maize and Blue grid games, has been a var- sity cheerleader since 1946. The squad re-elected Bill Par- rish, '50, to the post of assistant captain. Newt Loken, cheerleading ad- visor, stated that there were no imminent personnel changes in the squad for this semester, but that tryouts are welcome for the second semester and for next fall. Anyone interested in trying out should see Tom Tillman in the I-M building any weekday afternoon. Loken em- phasized that the ability to per- form tumbling feats is not a req- uisite for cheerleading. CagersOpenSlate at MSC Saturday By BILL BRENTON Michiganis 1949-50 basketball season will get under way Satur- day night on the, Jennison Field floor of Michigan State College, inaugurating a 21-game winter schedule for Coach Ernie McCoy's cagers. The Wolverines open their nine- game homerslate. Dec. 6 against Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, the first of three midwest inde- pendents to face Michigan. Toledo University, battles: the Maize and Blue in Toledo, Dec. 10, and Michi- gan returns to Yost Field House on Dec,. 14 to face Butler Univer- sity. All three opponents are small schools but rate high in national basketball circles. * ** * AFTER A TWO-game set with North Carolina State at Raleigh, Dec. 19 and 20, and the Big Seven Meet at Kansas 'City, Mo., Dec. 27-30, the hoopsters open the Big Ten schedule against Iowa, Jan. 7 at Yost Field House. In all, the quintet plays home and home games with Ohio State, Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern. Single contests are booked with the remaining Conference clubs. The Spartans of Michigan State will not officially be in the Big Ten basketball race until the 1950-51 campaign, but face Western Con- ference opponents in eight hard- wood scraps this season, including a home and home set with Michi- gan. The Wolverines defeated State twice last year. McCOY'S QUINTET possesses height this season, something it has lacked in past years, but loses experience, a necessary asset in Michigan's winning basketball ways over the recent'seasons. From a 1948-49 club that won 16 out of 22 games, while finish- ing third in the Conference with a 7-5 win-loss mark, the Wol- verine five has regulars Leo Vanderkuy, 6 foot 5 inch junior, and Captain Mack Suprunowicz, last year's third scorer in the Conference. Vanderkuy was one of the top sophomores in the league last year,E placing third in Wolverine scoring, while Suprunowicz shattered the Michigan one-game scoring mark with his 29 counters against Pur- due. Additional height will be fur- nished by 6 foot 4 inch Don Mc- Intosh, a windfall from the cham- pionship 1947-48 club. McIntosh was ineligible last campaign.

University back is veteran Hal "Lefty" Mor- rill, 6 foot 4 inch guard who has looked good in early practices, and Bill Doyle and Chuck Murray who saw little action last year although winning letters. Biggest job for the Wolverine brain trust is replacing stellar guards Bob Harrison and Pete El- liott. Morrill seems a cinch for one post with the other dangling be- tween Doyle, Murray and Jim Skala. Skala is big (6 foot 2 inches, 190 pounds) and seemingly has made the grid to cage conver- sion in a hurry. l I I when you smoke PHILIP MORRIS Hockey Schedule HOCKEY SCHEDULE 1949-50 Dec. 10-McMaster U. here Dec. 16-Toronto University here Dec. 17-Toronto University here Dec. 21-Brown University here « Dec. 22-Brown University here Dec. 28-N.
