TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE __ I SON THE SPOT By BILL CON NOLLY Daily Sports Editor T WAS MIGHTY EASY to sit in front of a warm fire late Saturday night, finish that second cup of coffee and then lean back to rehash the four-act tragedy that took place that afternoon on the field enclosed by the Michigan Stadium. But we can't help but feel, these two days later, that some of the criticism that grew out of that conversation is well-founded and not just a matter of opinion among such innumerable arm-chair quarterback groups. That the Illini deserved that 7-0 win on the grounds of their determined efforts cannot be denied and that the Wolverines deserved to lose, on the basis of their disappointing sluggishness, is equally undeniable. We were fortunate in having at our coffee-cup quarterbacks' meeting a former Wolverine signal-caller, returning from the days of the inspirational Fielding H. Yost. And a statement he made that night haunts us like an old melody: "In a game like that, the team that wants to win the most will be victorious," he commented. That statement makes a lot of sense. Given two closely matched teams, it's usually the most determined one that wins on a sloppy day. And contrary to earlier press notices, Michigan and Illinois were equally matched at the moment of the opening kickoff. The pre-season dopesters had Michigan hailed as the team to beat, and the Woxverine-Illini cash called the game to watch. '* * HOWEVER, as Indian coach Ray Eliot developed a tightly-knit pass defense and a concrete line, the underdog Illini began to grow to war-horse proportions. This, coupled with the downhill slide of the Wolverines forced the Wednesday and Thursday dope sheets to favor the invaders from Clhampaign. Eliot's 1950 attack, though, was mostly dependent on speed and deceptive ball-handling out of the tricky T-formation; while Michigan coach Bennie Oosterbaan's offense was, previous to last week, principally aerial in form. The soggy field and wet pigskin, however, eliminated for all practical purposes, both types of attack. With the respective teams entering the game with that one big strike already on the scoreboard, it looked like an even count-and anybody's ball game. To win that game, as Illinois so ably demonstrated, it took no more than a driving fullback, a will to win, and most important of all-a hard-working line. Of these three factors, Michigan had but one-a driving fullback. The Fighting Illini had all three. TWO RELATED FACTORS-the effectiveness of the line and the yardage totaled by the runners-can be measured on paper. Out of 220 net yards gained on rushes by the Illini, fullback Dick Raklo- vits picked up 122 in 27 tries for a 4.5 yard average. Michigan's fullback, Don Dufek was held to 64 of the Wolverine's net 119 yards on 25 carries, which averages out to 2.6 yards per try. That Raklovits is a better fullback than Dufek we seriously doubt. That the Illinois line was more effective than the Michigan line cannot be doubted. That they worked harder than the Michi- gan team cannot be doubted, and that they were more determined to win than the Michigan linemen also appears evident. We'd like to see the same outfit that blocked and tackled to perfection against the Army team which is now rated as the best in the country, and ran and passed with offensive brillianceagainst Wisconsin, recall some of that spark in the final three contests. But if the Wolverines play against Indiaia, Northwestern and Ohio State as they did against Minnesota and Illinois,.they'll finish with the third worst season recorded by Michigan since 1879-the year of football's inception in Ann Arbor. Rickey Takes Top Position Wth Pirates PITTSBURGH - (AP) -- Branch Rickey-baseball's master maker of pennant teams-yesterday took command of the National League's last-place Pittsburgh Pirates.

WITH HIS FIRST and second string wingbacks already incapa- cited, Bennie Oosterbaan came up with two more for the Illinois bat- tle but saw them cut down in ac- tion.- Thus Don Peterson and Don Oldham joined Leo Koceski and Frank Howell on the jinx list. Little Wes Bradford, a 155 pound midget out of Troy, Ohio, was called upon to try his luck. Wes took real good care of him- self out there and became a star besides.

Coach Ray Eliot merely adjusted his slick running game to pene- trate inside the ends instead of around them resulting in a net gain of 220 yards. THE ABSENCE of Illinois' All- America candidate, John Karras, ironically pointed up a striking contrast between his team and Michigan. Eliot has at his disposal a superbly balanced assortment of backs to fall back upon in the event of injuries. Oosterbaan is not expecting Peterson to recover in time for the game with Indiana this Sat- urday. Oldham's status is in doubt so Bradford continues to loom large in his coach's im- mediate plans.

D on Peterson (46) is shown coming in to make the tackle on the play that sent the Wolverine right h alfback to the sidelines for the remainder of the game. Stevens, who turned in a sparkling performance subbing for the injured John Karras, posted the best average gain from scrimmage on the snow-swept gridiron. He gained a net of 91 yards in 17 carries for an average of 5.3 yards per try. i I-M Volley Ball I He will be backed by Tom Wi- therspoon and Ralph Straffon who is taking on the chore in addition to his work as Don Dufek's full- back understudy. Dufek continued to carry the Wolverine ground game Saturday when he handled the ball on 25 plays' witha net gain of 64 yards, over half ,the team total. THE DEFENSE against which the visitors scored was a standard goal line procedure and had been used successfully by the Wolverines on many occasions. It was a case of two missed assignments on the part of the linebackers which sprung Tony Klimek loose in the end zone. At practice yesterday Donald Dugger, a sophomore reserve guard, and Norm Canty, promising freshman halfbock, sustained head -injuries and were taken to the health service for observation.
