i WEDNESDAY; OCTOBER 24, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Tennessee Rated Number One in AP Grid Poll I M TALKING ... Sy John Jenk46 IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, mates, but complaints about the officiating in the intramural touch football games are falling faster than the autumnal foliage in Ann Arbor. The South Quad is so steamed up over the situation that it has circulated a petition listing the alleged grievances which it has experienced during the season's gridiron activities. Some of the gripes are real beauties. For instance, in the Huber-Williams clash the Huber players complained to the ref- eree that a Williams player was wearing heavy paratrooper boots. The official took no action, and as a result Duane Pozzanza suf- fered a head concussion for being in the path of one of these boots. There was no medical aid in the vicinity according to the Huber- ites, which constitutes another source of irritation. If some partici- pant were seriously injured out there on South Ferry Field he would stand an excellent chance of making the supreme sacrifice for his house, a thought which dampens the enthusiasm of the more realistic players. Confusion on the Gridiron WHEN KELSEY HOUSE engaged the men from Michigan House in a spot of football, the former asked the referee if a quick kick on third down was permitted. The ref replied in the affirmative, so Kelsey quick-kicked on third down. The Michigan team then pro- tested the ruling, with the result that the game must be replayed in the near future. In the Anderson-Winchell tilt the referee decided that guards were ineligible to receive passes. On another occasion a referee blew the whistle "by mistake" as an Anderson House man was skirting a Taylor House end. The lads from Taylor immediately gave up pursuit and the Anderson back raced on to a touchdown. The officials allowed the score. Gomberg House complains that it was the recipient of some very unsportsman-like conduct when it played Fletcher Hall. After a Gomberger had legally tagged a Fletcherite returning a kick-off, the latter threw the ball at the tagger, striking him in the heal. Although this incident occurred in full view of both teams, substi- tutes, and spectators, neither official saw the action, and no penalty was inflicted. Need for Better Refs ALL THESE COMPLAINTS point out the fact that the referees could afford to spend several hours learning the rules of the game and that a more wide-awake attitude should prevail on their part. Here's to 'better officiating in the playoffs. IM director Earl Riskey w'uld, like to announce that the Sports Building will start opening at night on October 29. Volley- ball will get started at that time for all divisions. A practically unbelievable total of 125 teams will participate in this sport. Because of the many requests, there will be unlimited substitu- tion in the touch football playoff contests. This action should help speed up some of the games according to some competent observers. Riskey also announced that a new rule allows graduate students who have not affiliated with a professional fraternity to play in the Inde- pendent League. A six team soccer league Is about to get underway with the de- fending champions, the Chinese, taking on the Turks, Arabs, Ameri- cans, Europeans, and South Americans.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Peterson Excels in Wolverine Victory By HERB COHEN When Michigan defeated Iowa last Saturday, there were very few people in the Hawkeye's stadium who didn't have a good idea who Michigan's player of the week was. Don Peterson was the. almost unanimous choice of fans and sportswriters alike, as he led an inspired Wolverine aggregation to a most-needed 21-0 victory. THIS WIN stamped Michigan as a team to be watched thr6ugh- out the rest of the season, for the Wolverines showed the old time conservative and powerful brand The University Golf Course will close for the season on Sunday, October 28. All those having material in lockers arc requested to clear them and turn in their keys. --Bert Katzenmey er * * * of football which made them a legend in the bygone days of Field- ing H. Yost. Chief man in that type of football, of course, is the full- back; and Yost did not have many fullbacks better than Pet- erson was last Saturday. In last week's game Peterson ran for a net 85 yards, completed 2 out of 3 passes for 72 yards, and twice quick kicked beautifully to keep the vaunted Iowa attack bottled up on their side of the field. * * * * ONE OF THESE completely baf-' fled the Iowans and went for 54 yards from scrimmage as it trav- eled out of bounds on the Iowa nine yard line. Besides this he scored two touchdowns. One of these was on an overpowering 21-yard gal- lop on which he shook three would-be Iowa tacklers. This was by far the best per- formance that Peterson has given so far in a Michigan uniform, and Vol Halfback Places First In Week's Poll NEW YORK-()-Hank Lauri- cella, sligit Tennessee tailback who can run, pass and kick-and do all three well-was named back of the week yesterday in the weekly Associated Press poll. Lauricella did just about every- thing you'd ask from a single wing tailback in Tennessee's 27-13 win over Alabama. HE RAN 34 yards for the third touchdown. He passed to Bert Rechichar for the Vols' first touchdown, gaining a 7-7 tie at the half, and completed four passes in Tennessee's drive to the second score. He quick-kicked 75 yards to put Alabama on the spot and aver- aged 40.5 yards per boot.. OLLIE MATSON of San Fran- cisco, Bobby Marlow of Alabama, Charles McDonald of Texas A & M, Pat Cannemala of Southern California and Roger Zatoff of Michigan all received votes as de- fensive backs. The latter pair were named for their linebacking, and Zat- koff spent most of last Saturday afternoon sipwing down or step- ping another back of the week nominee, Bill Reichardt of Iowa. Another star nominated for back of the week was Don Peter- son of Michigan, who led the Wol- verine backs to a 21-0 victory. DON PETERSON ... makes the grade * * * ture at left half back. Koceski was the same at right half. Dufek could not be budged from the fullback's position, and Bill Putich was do- ing a very satisfactory job at quar- terback. So with no first string posi- tion in sight, Don Peterson was prepared by Oosterbaan to take over as second-string right half- back. Last season he performed very admirably at that spot and also occasionally at tailback and fullback. He was the kind of player who could pass, and very adequately as has been shown this year; he could run, as he hasshown every year; and he could even punt, as he de- monstrated by his two beautiful quick kicks last Saturday. HE WAS THE TYPE of player who could play anywhere, and so when Oosterbaan found himself SPORTS HERB COHEN: Night Editor with a problem at fullback, he log- ically called upon Don Peterson to fill the while. Right from the start of the season Peterson was exception- ally adequate, if not brilliant, as he ran and occasionally pas- sed from the fullback slot. But Iowa finally proved to all concerned that Michigan had found the fullback which the pre- season experts so vierocously claimed we lacked. Knee Inj 'ry May Bench, RightHalf The right halfback jinx visited Michigan again yesterday, but the extent of its damage this trip has not been completely determined. Tom Witherspoon, a leading prospect to take over Wes Brad- ford's wingback position when the latter leaves for the army, was helped off the practice field with an injured knee. WITHERSPOON SAID'his knee popped out of joint, but he hopes to be ready for Minnesota this Saturday. He added that his con- dition will be better determined after testing the bad knee in prac- tice today. Witherspoon is the third wingback to be sidelined this season. Current number one man at the position, Bradford, has been drafted, but Coach Bennie Oosterbaan figures he will be available Saturday. The 150 pound scatback took his usual part in yesterday's work- out. Originally scheduled for induc- tion yesterday, Bradford h a s gained time by transferring his point of induction from Troy, Ohio to Ann Arbor. * * * EARLIER THIS year Frank Howell, at the time first string right half, was put out of action indefinitely with a cracked ankle bone! Yesterday's discouraging wea- ther didn't discourage Ooster- baan from putting the Wolver- ines through a long practice. In a heavy rain the Maize and Blue concentrated mostly on de- fense against Minnesota plays be- ing run by the Junior Varsity. NEW YORK-(IP)--Tennessee, which took over the coveted No. 1 spot today in the weekly Associat- ed Press football poll, stands a good chance of staying on the top rung the rest of the season. The powerful Vols, voted the team most likely to be No. 1 in the AP's annual "crystal ball" poll before the season, have ahalf- dozen games left but. they're against Tennessee Tech, North Carolina, Washington and Lee, Mississippi, Kentucky and Vander- bilt. * * * NORTH CAROLINA jand Ken- tucky, which seem to have found the winning combination, could cause trouble. Tennessee thus finally made. the grade after threatening for three weeks. After the Vols thrashed Alabama, 21-13, the nation's sports writers and sportscasters gave Tennessee 1,- 354 votes to 1,204 for second place Michigan State. Georgia.

A Makes a Man Love a Pipe in a way it partially fulfilled a prophecy made by his brother Tom when they were both members of the Wolverine football squad. The elder Peterson foresaw a bright future for Don, and "brotherly love" must not have been the whole story. Not until last weekend, how- ever, was this faith fully justi- fied. Don. Peterson was switched from one position to another in the 'M' Club meeting 7:30 to- night in 'M' room at Yost Field House. Pictuers for Ensian will be taken. -Bud Holcombe backfield.

The colorful, controversial little field leader won the coveted award for leading the Giants to their first pennant since 1937 in the most sensational race in National League history. * * * THE GIANTS, last in May and 13%/2 games behind the Brooklyn Dodgers as late as Aug. 11, cli- maxed an amazing surge to the top by defeating the Dodgers, 5-4, in the final of a three-game post season playoff on Bobby Thom- son's three run homer in the last of the uinth lining. Durocher :;Iined the honor in an Associated Press poll con- ducted among 187 members of the Baseball Writers' Associa- tion of America. He bagged 113 votes to almost double' the +4 total rung up by runner-up Casey Stengel of the World Champion New York Yankees. Stengel won the award in 1950. Only four others received recog. nition. Al Lopez of the Cleveland Indians and Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox, both serving their first seasons as big league managers. They got four votes each. Jimmy Dykes of the Phi- ladelphia Athletics a n d 1,;arty Marion of the St. Louis Cardinals were named on single ballots. FOOTBALL ,.PHILHARMONIC YOUR FAVORITE BROADCASTS LIVE FOREVER WITH .
