This was not totally unexpected. A couple of the Wolverines had a lot of pre-season ballyhoo, but for one reason or another had just mediocre seasons. Some of the other Michiganders looked like All- Americans at times, but they weren't expected to by the pre-season dopesters. Then there is the inevitable fact that Michigan did not have a good season despite its ranking of sixth and ninth in the land depending on what press association you' prefer. It was rated around 25th most of the season and only a final day miracle put them in the top ten and is sending them to the Rose Bowl. There isn't much sense in arguing that one or two of Bennie Oos- terbaan's lads should have made some of the lists of gridiron immor- tals, but we can't help feel that it's a shame that the blonde kid from Milwaukee, Charlie Ortmann isn't going to be an All-American. None of the teams that have come out so far have Charlie on them, and one of them, The Sporting News "Quarterback" didn't even place him on the third team. It seems like an injustice to somebody that had a chance to break Tom Harmon's all-time offensive record at the start of the season, and probably would have in a normal campaign. Chuck's total offensive figures aren't so impressive this year as they were the last two years when he led the conference in total of- fense. But this year's statistics don't reveal the fact that Charlie miss- ed the better part of two games, was far below physical peak in thrpe or four others, and had to contend with snow storms in a couple more. ORTMANN is the victim of circumstance in one sense and maybe just bad luck in another. Anybody that has been on this campus for three or four years can't help compare Charlie with Bob Chap- pus, Michigan's great 1947 All-American. That's where the circumstance angle comes in. Chappuis had a really great team back of him, and in 1947 they had a tremen- dous year, that included the lopsided Rose Bowl triumph. "Chap" was passing to four or five pass receivers, all of which were at one time or another considered as All-American candidates. Along side Bob were brilliant runners like "Bump" Eliot and Jack Wiesenberger, who were expected to more than share the offensive burden. Chappuis didn't have to handle any defensive assignments. either, with a guy like Gene Derricotte around. On the other hand there's Ortmann who had capable receiv- ers to throw to only in his sophomore year, and since that time has been expected to dominate or lead the entire Michigan attack. Oosterbaan has had to use him as a safety man this year simply because he was the best one on the team, contrary to what some of the grandstand quarterbacks might think. Moe important than that, neither this year's or last year's squad had anywhere near the depth and all around ability that the 1947 or 1948 teams had. * * * * AS WAS MENTIONED before, maybe it was just bad luck. There is little doubt that Ortmann can do an4 has done everything that Chappuis did and maybe some things better. But Charlie (dn't have the team back of him. Both were great passers, probably just average runners, but plenty dangerous in that latter regard too. Ortmann's running impressed Army's Elmer Stout, an All-American incidentlfy, to the point where he expressed amazement after the contest in Yankee Stadium. Ortmann had another talent, that of punting, which is the big reason that the Wolverines are going to Pasadena. What we've tried to say is if Bob Chappuis is an All-Ameri- can, then so is Charlie Ortmann. And it's not taking anything away from Chappuis to say, than our humble opinion, Charlie is every bit the player Bob was. Charlie has one more chance to prove that he is All-American material when he bows out in the January first classic. He presum- sbly will be in top shape physically and so will the team back of him. But it won't matter too much what he does. His three year ac- complishments along with what we know he could have done under more favorable circumstances this season still stamps him as an All- American in our book. He just had a run-in with Lady Luck. Cagers Play Tonight; Murray Out Face Strong Toledo Squad Minus Services of Captain * * * * * IKeyes Possible Starting G oalie By JOHN JENKS Michigan's already slim hopes of garnering its first cage win of the season at the expense of a strong Toledo University five to-I night, received a severe jolt from an unexpected quarter. Charlie Murray, diminutive guard and fiery captain ofthe Wolverine quintet, was stricken with glandular fever Saturday night and will be sidelined for the remainder of the week in Health Service. * * * MURRAY BECAME sick during the Miami contest last Saturday night and the little guard was taken to Health Service and put under the competent care of Dr. Brace. Meanwhile, Murray's team- mates will have to face Toledo tonight minus their second high scorer-he chalked up 11 pointst --and chief play-maker. Con- sidering the quality of materialJ available, Murray's loss consti- tuted a real blow to Coach Erniek McCoy's victory designs. In all probability McCoy will call Charles Wins In Knockout CINCINNATI - (A') - Sharp- shooting Ezzard Charles unloaded his heavy guns in the 11th round last night to knock out Nick Ba- rone of Syracuse, N. Y., and thus retain his World Heavyweight Championship before an estimated 12,000 fans. The knockout came at 2:06 of the 11th round. It was the first time Barone ever had been knock-] ed off his feet in his professional fighting career. UP UNTIL that time he had taken a fearful punching around. If Charles lost any round it might have been the fourth and that byr only the slimmest of margins. The knockout blow was a crushing right after a series of rights and lefts had the chal- lenger wobbling around the ring.

Russ Smith is a strong contender for Geyer's spot and might possibly crack into the start- ing lineup. Toledo University prepped for the Maize and Blue game by running roughshod over two small-college quintets in a double-header Monday night. In the opener the Rockets crushed AdrianCollege under a deluge of baskets, 95-38, and in the nightcap "doubled" Bluffton College, 79-38. Along with the double triumph Monday the Rockets possess a EARL KEYES ...ready replacement * * * . Keyes had had experience at both right and left wing. At Michigan last year he played a tremendous game at center and this year was moved to left wing to give more balance to the Michigan scoring attack. Last year, in his second game in a maize and blue uniform, Keyes chalked up his first of three "hat tricks" over an abre- viated season (he had not become eligible for intercollegiate compe- tition until the second semester). OVER HIS half-season of play- ing, he posted 27 points (16 goals and 11 assists) in the individual scoring column. Using Keyes in goal would most certainly be a terrific loss to the Wolverines' offensive power.. But it has been a move that has been under considera- tion by Heyliger for some time in event that Downes needed backing up in goal. But Downes' illness brought the problem to a head and left Hey- liger with no alternative, than to rush the fast-stepping Keyes into the Michigan nets.
