THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Williams Annexes Dorm Track Title * * * * * * M' To Send Six Runners To Montreal A six man contingent of Maize and Blue cindermen will officially close the indoor track season Sat- urday with individual participation in the Canadian Legion Meet at Montreal. Don McEwen will run his spe- cialty, the two mile, to lead the Wolverines. Captain Don Hoover will share the spotlight with him by being matched with the top Canadian hurdler, yet to be picked, in a matched 50 yard high hurdle race. THREE MEN who featured in Tuesday's startling frosh sprint medley mark will also participate. John Ross, who ran a 1:53.7 half mile in that race, will run the ju- nior mile race, for men under 20. Jack Carroll, who has run three top 600 yard races this year, will run in the open 500 yard race, while Bud Bristow, third of the frosh quartet, will enter the junior 500 yard race. Al Rankin, top varsity 440 man, will run the 1000 yard event, for the last of the Michigan entrants. The continuing duel between Don Gerhmann and Fred Wilt will be d carried on as these two top American milers vie in another of the spotlight events. During vacation the team will have intensified outdoor practices. Oosterbaan AcceptsAP Honor with Modesty Three Records Broken; Prescott Places Second * * Earns Award At EndPost By ROGER GREENBERG Michigan's head football'coach Bennie Oosterbaan has always been known as a very modest man, and yesterday was no exception. He had just been named to the Associated Press all-time All- American football team chosen by a poll of more than 100 of the nation's top sports writers and broadcasters. How did Mr. Oos- terbaan feel about this great honor? s* «.* "I THINK it is very nice. But there are others who deserve the honor as much as I do." The unassuming Wolverine Coach did admit that he was pleased to be named at the end position on the unique All- American team that was being selected in conjunction with the contemplated Football Hall of Fame at New Brunswick, New Jersey. He and the other end, Ala- bama's fabulous Don Hutsog, au- tomatically receive top considera- tion for this $5,000,000 shrine that ?- f _. I . field. He had a sharp sense of timing and large.sure hands. The Friedman to Oosterbaan combina- tion is almost legendary in Big Ten history, and with Benny Friedman throwing to him, Oos- terbaan even made the tough ones look easy. * * * I $f FS ... time for r:rt{.::r your newv {1{".'Topcoat S~... 45 Smartly styled for Spring in tweeds and gabardines.

Hall of Famer is to be built at Rutger's Univer- sity, where football was originated in 1869. * * iw OOSTERBAAN said that it was by no means his greatest thrill in football, and that the real thrills come from playing the game. Possibly he was remember- ing his own career here as an out- standing grid star in 1925-26-27, when he gained acclaim as one of the greatest all-around athletes developed in the Midwest. The, Michigan mentor won nine letters in football, basket- ball, and baseball, but devoted most of his time to the gridiron, and was an All-American choice in all three years of com- petition. It is generally agreed that Oosterbaan was so gifted an athlete that he could have been a standout in any sport. He is remembered as one of the greatest pass receivers and was always perfectly relaxed on the+ SEEK GREEN PASTURE AFTER GRADUATION, Bennie' turned down several professional offers in order to become an as- sistant to Michigan's immortal coach, the late Fielding H. Yost, and he has remained at Michigan ever since. He rose from freshman coach to varsity end director, and four years ago was named Fritz Cris- ler's number one assistant and backfield coach. When Crisler surprised everyone .by resigning as head coach three years ago, the shy, modest Oosterbaan was rewarded with the top job., Since Crisler during the previ- ous year, 1947, had won the Big Ten Championship by winning every game, was named "Coach of the Year" as well as winning the Rose Bowl game, it was felt that Oosterbaan would have a hard time filling his shoes. * * * BENNIE, however, fooled them all. His 1948 Wolverine football edition was similarly unbeaten, took the Big Ten title, and the na- tion's sportswiriters acclaimed him as "Coach of the Year." In 1949, Michigan under Oos- terbaan shared the Conference Crown with Ohio State. Last season his Wolverine team won not only their 3rd consecutive championship under him, but went out to the Rose Bowl and beat California 14-6. In view of this great record, it is only fair to say that Oosterbaan was showing similar 'greatness in1 the coaching field just as he shined on the gridiron. S: By ROGER WATSON Three records fell as Williams house, of West Quad, annexed the Residence Halls Track Champion- ship with 22 points at Yost Field House last night. Prescott house was runner-up with 19 point total, while Chica- go House finished third with a 9%/ point total. 9 -* * , . THE OLD RECORDS fell as Jack Williams, of Williams house, broke his own mark in the mile run with a new record of 4:46.3; Dale Brown, also of Williams, set a new mark of 55.5 seconds for the 440 yard dash eclipsing the old record by a scant tenth of a second; and Howard L-Ierance copped the high jump for Win- chell house with a very good 5'11" leap to shatter the old mark of 5-7 John Biery, Prescott, sprint- ed to first place in the 60 yard dash in 6.7 seconds, and judges awarded Richard Dolnics first in a much disputed high hurdle contest. In the latter event Vic Bouck- aert, of Williams, was leading un- til he stumbled a yard in front of the wire to drop to second among the timber toppers. 'Williams Wins Team Crown In Paddleball Williams House continued its dominance of I-M dormitory com- petition as it won the paddleball championship yesterday afternoon beating Hayden, 3-0. The West Quadders won all three matches to take the title. In the first singles, Cliff Faye won over Hayden's Dick McBride, sweeping both games. *. * * BOB BARD won the second singles match as he beat Ron Hunt, again taking both games. The doubles matches proved closer but Williams still won, taking the set by winning two out of the three games. Ron Lalond and Gene Albin pro- vided the victorious duo for the Dorm athletic leaders. Ray Green and Tony Paparella were the los- ing pair for Hayden. It was William's seventh dorm crown of the year. BARR BRAMAN racked up a first for Adams house when he 'topped the half milers with a 2:15.2 run, and then Vic Bockaert came back to take first in the broad jump after his heartbreak- ing loss earlier in the hurdles. Jack Williams just missed be- ing a double winner when How- ard Liverance jumped to vic- tory for Winchell. Williams went above the old record, but lost out' to Liverance's soaring 5'11" leap. Winning the mile was .old stuff to Williams as he won the cross country title last fall. * * * GREENE'S Jim Moore vaulted to victory with a 10'6" height to win easily over runner-up Jack Raymond's of Chicago house, who racked up a 9'6" vault. Joe La- Tendresse, A n d e r s o n White, Chuck Clarke, and Jack Williams all tied for third at 9'4". * ., * SUMMARIES 60 YARD DASH: 1-Biery, Pres- cott; 2-LaBonte, Fletcher; 3-Stuart, Hinsdale; 4-Brown, Williams; Time: 65 YARD HIGH HURDLES: 1-Dol- nies, Fletcher; 2-Bouckaert, wil- liams; 3--McSteen, Fletcher; 4-Cush- in g,Chicago; Time: 8.8.

Tigers Commence Northward Trek with 30-Player Squad HAIR STYLES TO PLEASE // Crew-cuts v' Flat tops i. Personality cuts - Spring is here - 9 HAIRCUlTERS The Daseola Barbers Liberty near State LAKELAND, FLA.-UP)-Today was getaway day for the Detroit Tigers. The 30 survivors of more than six weeks of spring training packed their bags and started northward for Detroit and the American League opener with the Cleveland Indians April 17. There isn't much here the Tigers can look back to with satisfaction. The club played 16 games in Florida and won only four-only one from an American League club. BUT DON KOLLOWAY and Johnny Lipon probably have a little self satisfaction as the Lake- land stay ends. Lipon is the batting star this spring. He's improved with every game and currently leads the club with a .351 average. His 20 hits include a homer and six doubles for 29 bases. His 14 RBI's also lead the team. Kolloway is the second ranking Tiger in the matter of base hits. He's also second in total bases and second among the regulars in bat- ting averages. THE APPARENT lack of hitting by other members of the club hasn't worried Manager Red Rolfe too much. He feels that the sound hitters-such as outfielder Hoot Evers -will soon get around to regular form.
