IVESDAT, OCTOBER 31, 1959 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Oosterbaan Plans To Rebuild Injury Riddled Team }* 4 4 # * * * * * s * * Scarcity of Touchdowns Looms as Main Problem By TED PAPES Ben 'Oosterbaan reported for work yesterday surrounded by in- jured football players, perplexed by the baffling absence of Wol- verine scoring punch, and faced with the key Big Ten game this Saturday. He had little to say about the disappointing developments at Minnesota. HIS GRIDIRON mechanism stripped its gears against the sur- prising Gophers and faces several major repair jobs to be ready for Illinois. The most disturbing problem, of course, is the team's physical condition. The injury toll of last week has boosted the hos- pital list to almost ridiculous proportions. In addition to the two side- tracked right halfbacks, Leo Ko- ceski and Frank Howell, Roger Zatkoff and Bill Ohlenroth were out of action. * * * IT WAS LEARNED yesterday that two other blows were struck at Michigan efficiency in a dm- my scrimmage last Thursday. Al Wah twisted his knee and Don-Peterson injured his shoul- der in the comparatively mild drills. The latter mishap caused Oosterbaan to revise his plan of DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 2) Mathematics Colloquium: Prof. 0.

In the game itself John Hess, the first line guard, sprained his ankle and Charlie Ortmann twist- ed his back in the first quarter. ORTMANN'S injury sheds some light on the mystery of his per- formance Saturday. He could hardly bend over -at practice yes- terday. Don Oldham, a sophomore, was placed on the wingback hot spot and his inexperience pro- duced the usual results. The rest of the team was not equal to the task of taking up the of- fensive slack. Oldham's crushing first period fumble on the enemy 24 yard line could have been counteracted on a half dozen. occasions as the Wol- verines penetrated deep into Go- pher territory but the quarterback Bill Putich could not find an ef- fective weapon. ** * PUTICH was unable to mix his running and passing offenses ef- f estively, much to the relief of Minnesota's heavy defense. The Wolverines' 46 net yards rushing told on them. That figure is deceptive, how- ever, since Ortmann lost 43 yards attempting to pass and Putich added a 16 yard deficit. As for the desperation pass play that enabled Minnesota to salvage the deadlock, it was simply a Michigan error. The play had been broken up. in an earlier attempt. 4 ORTMANN and Tom Wither- spoon had Darrell Cochran well covered but the two Michigan de- fenders misjudged the ball in the end zone. The team reviewed films of the game last night in the hopes of accomplishing a complete form reversal against the Illini. Just who will play where in the Michigan lineup remains a mys- tery pending injury developments. It appears that Peterson will final- ly take over on the wing. SC Team Not Eligible In '51_Bowl CHICAGO - W) - Michigan State, conquerer of Michigan and Notre Dame, but member in- name-only of the Big Ten Foot- ball family, is not eligible to com- pete in the 1951 ose Bowl game. Big Ten commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wilson yesterday recalled a ruling of May, 1949, in which the conference stipulated that only a championship contender would play in the final two games of the five-tilt bowl series which ends next New Year's Day. * s * MICHIGAN STATE begins con- ference title play in 1953. The Spartans lately have had con- siderable backing as a Rose Bowl potential. The 1949 Conference decision eliminated a clause in the Bowl pact which provided that the Big Ten could send an outside representative. However, the possibility, that Michigan State may get a Rose Bowl nod in the 1952 or '53 Pasa- dena classics still exists. This is contingent upon the form a new Big Ten-Pacific Coast Confer- ence Bowl pact takes. Rickey To Consider Offers; Wants To Stay in Baseball --AP News Photo MICHIGAN AERIAL GAMES-Second-quarter action in the Minnesota-Michigan game at Minne- apolis Saturday. With the ball near the midfield stripe, quarterback Bill Putich (24) takes the ball from the T-formation, fades back and spots both Harry Allis (88) and Lowell Perry (85) breaking into the clear. * * 0 * * * * * ST. LOUIS-(A)-Branch Rick- ey, known as a shrewd manipula- tor of the dollar, said yesterday he is open to any "firm" baseball of- fer but that'money isn't the im- portant thing. The unemployed Mahatma said he may not want to be as active as he has been in the past "and I might not want as many responsi- bilities." PARRYING reporters' questions at a press conference here, Rickey said he had no statement to make about his future at this time but that he would like to stay in base- ball. Has he had any definite of- fers? "Yes," Rickey replied. "But termsd and conditions have not been discussed." ASKED IF he had any interest in the Browns or Cardinals, Rickey carefully rephrased the question and replied: "There is little likelihood that I will become identified with one of the St. Louis clubs." Rickey served the Cardinals as Field Manager and General Man- ager for 25 years. * * * HOW ABOUT reports he might wind up in the front office of the Pittsburgh Pirates? "Mr. (John) Galbreath (presi- dent of the Pirates) has openly said he would like me to come to Pittsburgh," Rickey answered. CHICAGO BEEF MEETS: PrepFoes United on Flrosh Gridders By BOB ROSENMAN Nussbaumer, Pihos, Young, Wis- tert, Nomellini, Connor, Angsman, Agase, Kluszewski, Coutre, Kafras -these are but a few of the many football greats produced in the Chicago area who rose to fame on college and professional gridirons all over the nation. Michigan's freshman team boasts no Elmer Angsman or Al Wistert at present, but it does have a numbe' of Chicago-area football players who have shown promise in fall frosh drills and who may see action for the Maize and Blue varsity next fall. TWO OF THESE frosh gridders from Chicago, Dick Yirkosky and Norm Canty, deserve special men- tion. An interesting sidelight on their careers is thefact that they performed on opposing teams in their last high school grid appear- ances. Less than a year ago, Schurz High School, champion of Chi- cago's public high schools, met Fenwick, Catholic league cham- pion on the gridiron at Soldier's Field in Chicago to determine Chicago's 1949 city football champions. Soldier's Field-the site of the annual All-Star football game played each year by the champion- ship team of the National Foot- ball League and a bevy of col- legiate gridiron greats, including such stars as Trippi, Walker, Jus- tice, Harmon, Chappius, and many others. BUT NOW two high school teams were battling it out on the field. And Yirkosky was in the lineup for Schurz in that game, along with such capable team- mates as Jim Hock, an all-city end, pint-sized Bob Fudala, and Kenny Swienton, a powerful yet shifty backfield star. Outstanding for the Fenwick Friars, along with quarterback Canty, were fullback Johnny Lattner, all-city and all-state, and Bob Rigali, another fine high school performer, both of whom are now starring for Notre Dame's freshman team. On the basis of a near-perfect season record, Fenwick went into the game 14-point favorites. But a rugged Schurz eleven stiffened in the clutches, hit Lattner so hard he furbled repeatedly deep in Schurz territory, and scored often enough to win the game, 20-7. Both Yirkosky and Canty played important roles in that major prep battle. Now both are doing their best for Wally Weber's frosh squad. -AP News Photo GOPHERS MAKE GOOD . . . . . . Michigan's Chuck Ortmann (49) and Tom Witherspoon seem to have Minnesota halfback Darrell Cochrane well covered as they take to the air to block George Hudak's pass in the end zone. All they got, however, was thin air as they collided with each other. Cochrane got the ball and the lowly Gophers got their first bit of consolation from a disappointing season by tying their traditional Ann Arbor foe 7-7. 'SPELCI LPRS CHAPSE OF MEN'S .G... MEN!
