WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1951 T HE M ICHIG AN JAILY PAGE THREE Yanks Whip Giants, -, Lopat 's Five-itter * * " I M TALKING... 6yZJ J4a enk i' INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL, that form of pigskin activity of which even Robert Hutchins approves, is once again rolling along under a lull head of steam. High Commissioner Earl Riskey has everything squared away in anticipation. of exciting races in each of the four circuits. Despite the careful planning involved, several complaints have been registered about various aspects of the gridiron competition. One concerns the suitability of 15-yard penalties on a 60-yard field. On a regulation field it would be the equivalent of a 25-yard mark-off, which borders on the ridiculous. We move that the maximum penalty inflicted be la yards. Another source of grief for some participants is the timing sys- tem employed on Ferry Field. All games start with a whistle blast originating somewhere behind the Hoover Ball Bearing Works. Play continues supposedly uninterrupted until another blast signals the end of the half, 15 minutes later. Two more toots on the siren begin and end the second half period after a 10-minute pause at halftime. This type of timing leads to a certain uniformity for all games and assures the IM officials that thegames will end on time. However, it's rather rough on teams that find themselves behind early in the contest. Any delay, whether it be an argument, a consultation between the referees, or just generally poor team organization, cuts into the playing time the losing squad needs to come from behind. If stop watches were used such interruptions would have no effect on the actual playing time of each tilt. We suggested this procedure to Earl Riskey, but he wisely pointed out that the first-round games would not finish on schedule, in which case the second-round teams would probably play the last half in semi-darkness. What ital1 boils down to is that IM football needs more room for more playing fields. Any suggestions should be directed to Mr. Riskey. * * * * - Some Game.. . * WE THOUGHT THAT WE had heard of just about everything in the unusual concerning IM football, but the game between the For-, esters and Phi Epsilon Kappa, professional athletic fraternity, took all honors. Although the lumbermen were there ready to go, the ath- letes did a fadeout. Only Paul Geyer, boy basketeer, and an unidenti- #ied gymnast showed up for the match. Somehow a forfeiture wasn't declared, and the "teams" prepared to do battle. Thirty minutes later th eForesters staggered off the field with a 6-0 win, but only after receiving the scare of their lives. Three times the two-man Phi EK club marched to within the five-yard line, ' only to be turned back by the more numerous opposition There is still room for four football teams in the Independent League, according to high IM sources. Anyone interested should con- tact either Earl Riskey or Rod Granbeau. Sign-ups and practices for the IM cross country event are now in the offing. Five practices are required to be eligible for competition. Rumor has it that the first co-recreation night will occur Friday, Oct. 19. For those couples interested in spending an athletic evening together almost every facility, including swimming, badminton and basketball, will be available. . AP Names Iowa Back Week's Best * h11 Losin gCau ser NEW YORK -()- A sopho-s more halfback who lost no timee learning the way to the goal line in college football is the first As- sociated Press back of the week' for 1951.t He's George (Dusty) Rice ofk Iowa, who performed in spectacu- lar fashion as his team bowed to Purdue, 34-30, last Saturday. JACK OVERMEYER of the In- dianapolis Star said Rice started a one-man show on the first play of the game, racing 100 yards to a touchdown with the Purdue kickoff, and kept up the fireworks throughout. Later, the soph star scored after catching a pass on a play covering 55 yards and made a third touchdown on a. twisting 60-yard run from scrimmage. His feats were adjudged the most sparkling of the week after a compilation of votes by sports- writers and sportscasters across the country. Rice, a blond former state high school tennis champion, surprised the Boilermakers with his speed on the kickoff return. After catch- ing the ball on his goal, he took one backward step and then flash- ed down the righthand sideline to score, slowing down only to spin away from two Purdue tacklers1 at midfield.

The little senior from Cle ve- .>* * Earier, he had set up Michi- gan's first 1951 ,touchdown by firing a beautiful 32-yard pass to Fred Pickard on Stanford's 7-yard line. Putich then called an end-around with Lowell Per- ry carrying which took Stanford by surprise and netted the d.ol- verines a touchdown. He totaled 139 yards rushing and passing out of Michigan's total of 254 yards. ''IcCOLL, AN ALL-American se- lection last fall, certainly looked like he deserved those awards Sat- urday. The 6'4" end, also captain of his team like Putich, grabbed seven of Gary Kerkorian's passes for a total yardage of 142 yards. His pass receptions xvere instru- mental in all of Stanford's touch- down marches. Even more important, McColl decoyed perfectly and when he did receive a pass he knew exactly what to do with it, invariably get- ting extra yardage through the Michigan defensive backfield. MSC Named ,, Nation1's First NEW YORK iIP_ Undefeated Michigan State barely retained its position as the No. 1 football team in the land yesterday, nipping California's high-scoring Golden Bears by a mere 10 points-or the equivalent of one first-place vote -in the second weekly Associated Press poll of the season. * CALIFORNIA MADE its bid for the coveted position by overwhel- ming Minnesota, 55 to 14, in a dis- play of brute power.

Irvin's brace ran his total for the five games played to 11, tying the record for safeties in a six-game series.

Every player in the Yankee starting lineup except Lopat feast- ed on Jansen and his relievers. Woodling belted a prodigious drive to rightcenter in the ninth, but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a home run. Besides Jan- sen and Kennedy, George Spencer, Al Corwin and Alex Konikowski felt the lash. * * * OFFICiAL BOX sCORE ED LOPAT ..second five-hitter Wolverines Seek New Backs For Use as Injury Insurance New York (A) A Woodling, If Ri~zzuto, ss Berra, c DiMaggio, cf Mize, lb Barier, rf McDougald, 2-3b Brown, 3b Coleman, 2b Collins, rf-lb Lopat, p TOTAlS 3 A M3 BILL PUTICH .'M" star of week land gained a total of 79 yards rushing and added 60 yards on of- Coach Bennie Oosterbaan took a long look at some hitherto "for- gotten" backs during yesterday's scrimmage indicating, that he might come up with a surprise or two in case of injuries or tough going against Indiana Saturday. It will be remembered, especial- ly by Indiana, that last year an unheralded Wes Bradford was sprung on the Hoosiers, and the diminutive scatback gained 105 yards rushing to lead Michigan to a 20-7 victory. WHILE BILL PUTICH, top left halfback injured against Stanford, should be ready by Saturday, freshman Don Eaddy and 175- pound Ted Kress worked out at the tailback spot yesterday as Putich took part in very little con- tact work. At right half, Don Oldham has been reconverted from tail- back to fill the shoes of injured Frank Howell. Oldham is sup-e plemented by Bradford and Bob Hurley, an 185-pound fullback who is being tried at wingback. Ted Topor is generally consid- ered the top man at quarterback, but yesterday Topor saw relative- ly little action in deference to Don ZanFagna and freshman Duncan McDonald, who looked good with their passes. * * * ALTHOUGH FULLBACKS Tom Witherspoon and Don Peterson are rated one-two at that position, Russ Rescorla, top Maize and Blue place kicker, played a sizeable share of offense at full.
