FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1949 TIli MICHIG AN DAILY M' Five Ready for New MSC Coach e lll- 3 THREELARGE GENTLEMEN NAMED WISTERT stood up in the ballroom of Detroit's Statler Hotel Wednesday night and said goodby and thanks to Michigan football. They did it in a manner that will be long remembered by the 1,000 members of the University of Michigan Club of Detroit assembled there to pay tribute to the 1949 Michigan football team -and to three All-American tackles named Frances, Albert and Alvin Wistert. With a sincerity that brought a deep hush over the crowded room, the three brothers whose All-American activities at Michigan covered nearly a score of years poured forth words of gratitude in simple heart-felt words. They spoke reverently of their father who had gone on working past the retirement age as a Chicago policeman so that his sons mibht have the benefits which the half pay of a retired policeman wouldn't bring-and who died by a gunman's bullet as a result. And they spoke of their deep feelings for Michigan and for each other. You knew this wasn't the usual half-hearted malarky handed out at testimonials as you watched Alvin Wistert, 33 years old, 225 pounds of football player, standing up there trying to keep his voice from breaking. You didn't notice him too clearly though because you were trying to keep the tears from your own eyes, afraid of looking a little foolish in front of all those people crowded around you. Out of the corner of your eye you noticed that there were a lt of other foolish ; people sitting around you and you felt a little better. THERE WERE OTHER HIGH SPOTS in the long evening, of course. There was the awarding of Patterson' Scholarship awards to co-winners Tom Peterson and Bob Van Summern and the award- ing of 'M' rings to 17 graduating seniors. There was Bennie Oosterbaan paying tribute to his boys for their great play in the Minnesota game and for their refusal to let up the following week against an inspired Illinois squad. And there was Oosterbaan praising a bunch of guys who accepted a tie for the Western Conference football championship with tears in their eyes. "I loved them for that," said Bennie and you knew he meant it. There was Dick Kempthorn moving to the center of the stage to receive his ring amid a storm of applause shortly after Ooster- baan, perhaps Michigan's greatest All-American, had pointed to the All-American table reserved for former Wolverine greats and, stated that, "If I belong at that table so does Dick Kempthorn." There was Wally Teninga, whose speaking ability matches his football ability, handling the raffling of six autographed footballs and nearly breaking an expensive mirror with an errant toss of a football to a lucky winner, and there was this same Teninga squirm- ing in his seat as much-deserved praise was lavished on him. But after all was said and done it was a night that belonged to the Wisterts. Michigan can be as proud of them as they are of Michigan. Skala Stirs Wolverine Offensive By BILL BRENTON Watch Jim Skala when Michi- gan's Wolverines tangle with Mich- State at East Lansing tomorrow night. That's the word buzzing around Yost Field House in this week's practices. * * * SKALA WILL play opposite Captain Mack Suprunowicz at the forward post, filling a gap that re- mained after the 1948-49 season. He has made a speedy conversion from football to basketball and from practice appearances will be ready for the MSC opener. With one of the fastest teams of past years, the Wolverine five may use more fast breaks this season. Controlled ball methods in the set plays may be in for less use also with experienced guards like Bob Harrison and Pete Elliott gone, and clever for- wards like Skala and Suprun- owicz. Outstanding in this week's scrimmages were Skala who pos- New Bowl Set SAN FRANCISCO-(P)-The College of Pacific and Baylor have agreed to play in a Press Club bowl football game in this area either December 26 iir January 2, Leo C. Lee, president of the San Francisco Press Club said yesterday. Pacific has run up 500 points against 66 for the opposition in winning 10 straight. It was ranked 10th in the nation in the final Associated Press poll. sesses nearly every scoring shot, Leo Vanderkuy, deadly with a hook shot from his center post and Hal' Morrill, best bet to replace Bob Harrison's one-handed accuracy. * * * SUPRUNOWICZ, third scorer in the Conference last season, has been the usual clever ball-handler and accurate shooter. Chuck Mur- ray, diminutive guard, has also been impressive with steady ball- handling and tricky drive-in shots. Don McIntosh, 6 foot 4 inch center from the championship 1947-48 squad, seems slow round- ing into shape. A hard worker, however, his pivot accuracy from either the center or forward post is certain to be an asset to the McCoymen this year. Others in starting contention are Bill Doyle, letterman guard from last year, Irv Wisniewski, round- ing into shape after football and Bob Olson, a promising jump shot artist. FOOTBALL AGAIN: Harvard Drops Intersectional Contests Kircher Parallels McCoy Debut in Spartan Opener CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-(A')-The richest college in the world waved goodbye yesterday to "Big Time" football and at the same time pre- pared to underwrite an athletic program "good for everybody." THE ACTION follows Harvard's poorest football season on record land answers the critical torrent of "What's the matter with Harvard football?" and "What's Harvard going to do about it?"-that has poured over Athletic Director Bill Binxham's head since the Yale de- feat. Bingham, speaking for the University whose football teams in a little over a quarter of cen- tury have plunged from tops in the nation to the bottom of the Ivy League, said in an interview: "We have reached two mile- stones in our football history. "Intersectional games are out. We are not going to compete with the West or the South. We are going to play in our own class. We are going to stick to theIvy League." Bingham made it clear te:ims already scheduled would be met. * * * HE ADDED that even in the Ivy League Harvard was cutting out Pennsylvania, "We can't compete against their state scholarships." Walker Sidelined for Notre Dame-SMU Battle DALLAS-(/P-One of the great-' est aggregations of All-Americas in a single college football game comes up here tomorrow when Southern Methodist plays unde- feated,untied Notre Dame. Also, the two men who have won both the Maxwell and Heisman awards within the past three sea- sons will be on the same field. NOTRE DAME pitches in with three All-Americas - end Leon Hart, tackle James Martin and back Pmil Sitko. Southern Meth- odist has one - Doak Walker, quarterback. Hart and Walker furnish the "awards" duo. Hart this year won the Heisman Trophy, an honor that went to Walker in 1948. Hart was awarded the Maxwell Trophy last season, Walker got it in 1947. The biggest fly in the ointment, however, comes from the fact that Walker probably will sit this game out. He has a severe leg injury and Coach Matty Bell said today he didn't see how the Doaker could even hobble out onto the field. *- * * THUS NOTRE DAME won't get to play against any of the All- Americas this season. Charlie Justice of North Carolina missed the game with the Irish because of an injury. Notre Dame didn't meet any of the other teams that furnished All-Americas. Coaches Disagree on Rose Bowl Champion By HAL TANNERy In December of 1948 the Wol- verine cagers opened their first season under Head Coach Ernie McCoy against Michigan State in Yost Field House. Tomorrow night in Jenison Field House in East Lansing a similar scene will take place. A new coach will be making his debut as his team opens its season's schedule on its home court. WHEN MICHIGAN State's cag- ers take the floor against the Maize and Blue five tomorrow, they they will be making their A lI-Nation Honors To C handnois NEW YORK - (,') - "Collier's Weekly" announced its 1949 All- Star Football team yesterday and the name of Southern Methodist's Doak Walker was omitted-at his own request. The crack SMU back, picked by "Collier's" in 1948, was out of action part of the season with the flu and a leg injury. Aware that he was being considered again this year, the magazine said Walk- er wrote its Coaches' Board, "I believe that there are other All- American candidates who have seen more action and therefore are more deserving of consideration." T rhe action prompted "Collier's" editors to name the Doaker "Play- er of the Year for Sportsmanship." The All-Stars End, Leon Hart, Notre Dame Tackle, Wade Walker, Oklahoma Guard, Rod Franz, California Center, Clayton Tonnemaker, Minnesota Guard, Bernie Barkouskie, Pitts- burgh Tackle, Leo Nomellini, Minnesota End, Jim Williams, Rice Quarterback, Arnold Galiffa, Army Halfback, Charley Justice, North Carolina Halfback, Lynn Chandnois, Michi- gan State Fullback, Emil Sitko, Notre Dame first appearance under Head Coach Al Kircher, a former Michigan State athlete. Kircher moves up to the head coaching position to succeed Ben Van Alstyne, who guided the Spartan quint for 23 years. Kir- cher previously served as assist- ant coach under Van Alstyne. Similarly, McCoy acted as as- sistant to Ozzie Cowles before advancing to the top coaching post. The comparison between last year's opener and this season's may be extended even further. McCoy is Michigan's number one football scout while Kircher ranks high on the Spartans' list of grid scouts. IN LAST YEAR'S starter the Maize and Blue quint rolled over the Spartans by 66-33 with Bob Harrison featuring the attack. The Wolverines went on to win 15 more games while drop- ping six. Included in theirrlist of wins was another defeat of MSC. In Western Conference play during their first campaign under McCoy they copped third place with seven victories against five losses. McCoy will be seeking to keep his record against the Spartans unblemished when he leads Mich- igan into East Lansing tomorrow for the season's opener. The game will be the 56th in a series dating back to 1909. Of this total Michi- gan has emerged victorious 38 times. BASKETBALL Iowa 76, Colorado College 54 Northwestern 54, Western Michi- gan 43 HOCKEY Detroit 2, Toronto 0 MADISON, Wis. -(OP)- Maybe Ivy Williamson and Jeff Cravath should get together on picking the Rose Bowl winner. The two coaches are in the best position in the country to voice opinions - their teams are the only ones to play both Pasadena contestants this year. * * * WILLIAMSON, in his first year as a Western Conference coach at Wisconsin, said yesterday he figures California will whip Ohio State. Cravath, a Pacific Coast Conference coach at Southern Cal- ifornia for several years, said yes- terday it looked to him like the Ohioans. Williamson's Badgers dropped a 35-20 verdict to California and suffered their lone shutout -- 21-0 - at Ohio State's hands. Cravath's Trojans battledthe Big Ten Buckeyes to a 13-13 draw and lost to Lynn Waldorf's Golden Bears, 16-10, on a last minute, 100-yard touchdown run. "I'm basing my opinion strictly on what we saw when the two * * * * DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN I clubs played us here," said Wil- liamson. "The Bears have a bet- ter offensive club, more talented backs, more versatility. They have Bob Celeri at quarterback, and the Buckeyes have no one to match him. For that reason I must give the Bears an edge." * * * CRAVATH FELT just the op- posite in an interview at Tulsa, Okla., where he was visiting. "Ohio State almost chased us out of the park,"' he commented. "Much as I'd like to see Lynn's team win, I think Ohio State will grab it. They've got great running backs. We played Cali- fornia on even terms, and might have won." Williamson said that from what Ohio State showed here, the Buck- eyes had a stouter defense and that "maybe the Rose Bowl game will be closer than we figure." "I feel that Big Ten has a fine representative in Ohio State," Wil- liamson added, "and I hope they surprise me and come away with another victory for our confer- ence. "But they have a rugged job ahead of them." TUXEDO RENTALS ANQUET BITS: Some 97 Michigan schoolboy gridders attended the banquet with their coaches and a good share of them were introduced to the crowd by a loquacious Wally Weber who did so without the aid of a microphone which he scornfully disdained to use . . also coming in for introductions were 13 former Michigan All-Americans in attendance including Germany Shultz, Ernie All- mendinger, Pat Smith, John Maulbetsch, Bob Westfall, Harry New- man, Julie Franks, Jack Blott, Dick Rifenberg, Oosterbaan, and, of course, the Wisterts.
