FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE wolverine Ja vees Meet Michigan State o da SPEAKING of p tpot BY GEORGE FLINT WES FESLER, one of the brightest stars in Ohio State's athletic history, is a good example of one of the really valid trouble spots in collegiate football. Fesler, who will bring an improving Minnesota team to town tomorrow, was the victim of a far from disinterested group of alumni while at Ohio State. Although he had produced a Rose Bowl cham- pion in the 1949 season, Fesler found that you have to win every year to stay around in big-time football. Last season an Ohio State team which looked in the early parts of the season like the conference champion folded up in the late stages and lost the Big Ten crown to Michigan on a snow-topped Columbus gridiron. That was the exit sign for Fesler. His resignation was the result of subtle but clear alumni pressure, and in 1951 Ohio State has a new coach. The former Buckeye All-Americn evidently had not had enough. He took one of the most thankless coaching jobs in the country-the task of rebuilding the crumbling gridiron empire of the Minnesota Gophers. A Question of Strategy THE armchair strategists of football were having a meeting the other day (the local chapter), and a question of tactics came up. For what it's worth, the problem is this: Should a team which is behind in the late stages of a game play for a tie or play to win, if the former alternative is within grasp? THE GAME WHICH brought all this up was Michigan's second of the season-the 23-13 loss to Stanford. Score: 20-13. Time left: about five minutes. Michigan had the ball, fourth down and five to go, around the Wolverine forty. The believers in the "win above all" philosophy felt that a pass or long yardage play should have been used, on the chance that it would put Michigan. in scoring position. What the Wolverines actually did was kick, on the supposi- tion that the Stanford attack would stall and they would have a scoring opportunity before the game's end. As it turned out, the attack didn't stall, the Indians marching down the field for a field goal. This particular problem is always a serious one for a football coach. In professional ball, the usual solution is to gamble. But col- lege coaches are reluctant to do that except in the closing moments of a game. Michigan's Ben Oosterbaan is no exception. Although he has his charges play a type of ball which developed under Fritz Crisler, there are vestiges of the Yost philosophy of play in the present Wolverine strategy. In most cases it has paid off. When it doesn't, the armchair quarterbacks will moan, and perhapj with good reason. Boxing Sore Spot EVERYBODY seems to agree that there's something wrong with the fight game. But no one seems to be willing to do anything about it. Those who follow the prize ring, once the number one interest for sporting gentleman throughout the land, shake their heads at least once a week and proclaim that things are no4 what they used to be. * . * . PRINCIPAL SORE SPOT in the boxing picture is the monopoly which the International Boxing Club has gained over nearly every important arena. The IBC, through control of Madison Square Garden, De- troit's Olympia, and the big fight palaces in the other major cities, can write its own ticket as to whether or not bouts shall be televised, who fights whom, and for how much. Some of the results are not too pleasing. No really capable heavy- weight of less than ancient vintage has come up in the last several years. A man like Harry Matthews, who is not the IBC's cup of tea, found himself in a back seat to Bob Murphy, whom he defeated soundly, when it came to a shot at the light-heavyweight crown. And in the same division, a fellow named Archie Moore has been the logical contender for twelve years, on and off, and still hasn't seen a championship bout in which he was a participant. The IBC. and Archie Moore are on tenuous terms. Chances are that boxing will continue in its sorry straits until some competition crops up in the promoting field. Even Mike Jacobs was never like this. . -t" State Seeks To Duplicate EarlierWin Michigan's Junior Varsity foot- ball team will be seeking its sec- ond win of the season this after- noon when it squares off against the Michigan State JV squad at Ferry Field. Game time is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. IT WILL BE the second meeting of the two teams this year. In a rough and tumble contest at East Lansing two weeks'ago, the Spar- tans rolled over the Wolverines, 20-7. Michigan coach Don Robin- son's charges had previously beat- en Marquette reserves 26-21. . * MSC TROUNCED Selfridge Field 40 to 0 in their only other en- counter. Both teams have been hard hit by injuries, and with new men filling the gaps prospects for a close battle are good. Robinson's biggest injury loss is Fred Baer, a rangy fullback from La Grange, Ill., who scored twice against Marquette and who bore the brunt of the Blue running at- tack in the first Michigan State game. SOPHOMORE DAVE Balzhiser will probably start in the fullback spot today. Quarterback Mark Scarr and halfbacks Ed Hickey and Don Evans round out the starting backfield for the Maize and Blue. First string offensive linej berths go to ends Bob Topp and Sohn Veselenak, tackles Joe Shomsky and Bob Mulligan, and guards Ron Williams and John Wagner. Robinson plans to use Emil Morlock, Glenn Bowers and Don Drake at center. Big noises in the Spartan attack are quarterback Al Fracassa, tail- back Bert Zagers and fullback Vic Postula. Postula, MSC's leading scorer, recently suffered a knee in- jury but has responded to treat- ment and will definitely be in the starting lineup for the State squad.

Phi Delt-SAE Mudbo/vl Tilt Benefits Polio Fund By PAUL GREENBERG It was a big day for Williams House of the West Quadrangle and Kappa Sigma fraternity of Hill Street yesterday, for at both places there were important victories to gloat over. Williams, out to recapture the intra-mural championship that it won last year got off on the right foot as it fought its way into first place in the residence halloutdoor 'M' Prepares For Gophers; Stress Defense An extra long defensive drill marked yesterday's last heavy grid practice session for Bennie Ooster- baan's Wolverines as they prepare for the Minnesota tussle tomorrow., The Gophers apparently got out of the doldrums last week with a rousing 39-20 victory over Ne- braska after .they had dropped their first three games, and a tough fight is in the offing for the Michigan men. * * * WITH WES BRADFORD still a civilian the right halfback posi- tion is temporarily solved, and he will join forces in the backfield with Captain Bill Putich, Ted To- por and Don Peterson at their cus- tomary positions. The Wolverines will be facing, the biggest and toughest line they have faced all season so far as both the offensive and defen- sive forward walls of the Golden Gophers average o v e r 200, pounds. The entire Michigan squad is virtually in good shape, except, of course, for Frank Howell's cracked ankle bone, but Tom Witherspoon, Jim Balog,-Dick Beison and Don Bennett are not in the best phy- sical condition and are still re- covering from minor ailments. They all will probably be avail- able for limited action, however. Soccer 'Today Local interest in soccer will be revived at 4:15 p.m. today when the American team of the Interna- tional Soccer League faces a squad from Ypsilanti State Normal at thq University Soccer Field 100 yards east of the football stadium. .1 track meet, compiling a total of 18 1/5 points. * * * WINCHELL FOLLOWED just one and three-fifths of a point be- hind and Hinsdale slipped into third with a 16 point total. Hay- den with 13 3/5 garnered fourth place laurels, Allen Rumsey and HuberHouse took fifth and sixth with respective totals of 13 and 11 points. Kappa Sigma, the home of Michigan's most famous cross country runner, Don McEwen, showed that there are other fine distance runners in the house as the Kappa Sig harriers won an easy first place in the fraternity The combination of Piazza, Bur- well, Kinnel, Scandura, and Wag- ner, finished in the second, third, sixth, sixteenth, and thirty-first positions for a 58 point total, 27 ahead of second place Sig Phi Ep- silon. THE SIG EPS, lead by Bob Cut- ting, who won the event, were 24 points in front of the third place SAE team. Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Tau, Acacia, Delta Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Chi rounded out the top ten. All told, nineteen fraternities entered the meet and all nine- teen had the ,requiredI five men complete the race. An estimated 135 men competed, the majority straggling in well after Cutting had broken the tape with atime of 11:26. In the residence hall meet, the chilly1 weather 'prevented any of the competitors from getting warmed up to the point where they threatened to change" the I-M re- cord book. However, in spite of the adverse conditions several thin- clads turned in exemplary pe- formances. * * * FOREMOST AMONG these was Vic Bouckaert who turned in a double win in the high and low hurdles events. It was Bouckaert's effort that gave Williams House the crown. Another fine job was that of Jack Williams, who also turned in a ten-pointer. Williams triumphed in the mile and the high University golf course will close for the season October 28.

Wildcats Risk Perfect Record In Game with Tough Badgers FREE ARCHERY CLASS On Friday Nights P A little more light may be thrown on the still very murky Big Ten Race when Northwestern's unbeaten Wildcats play Wisconsin at Evanston Saturday. Despite the Wildcat's perfect re- cord, the Badger's, who have shown a tremendous defense and a good offense in losing to Illinois, tying OSU, and finally slaughter- ing Purdue 31-7, are slight favor- ites. WISCONSIN PLAYS seven con- ference games this year, and if they can stop the Wildcats, they have a fine chance of sweeping through the rest of the conference season. Northwestern has yet to take on Ohio State, Illinois, and Michigan in its quest for Big Ten laurels and Pasadena roses. Northwestern is going through heavy offensive and defensive drills in preparation for this game, and Wildcat halfback Wall Jones, out for the last two contests, will be ready to go against Wisconsin. Down at Bloomington, they are saying that Indiana did an amaz- ing job last week of making eleven Bucks look like 30 cents, but Coach HOP IN THE CARN! COME. AS YOU ARE! to KEG4 114 E. Williams * BEER BEER Phone 7191 . I SMIXER I Don't Miss the BIG GAME SATURDAY! November 3 Clyde Smith says "We're still rag- tag in a lot of places' as the Hoos- ier's prepare to welcome the pow- erful and unbeaten Illini at Indi- ana this Saturday. INDIANA REALLY pulled itself together to upset the Buckeyes last week. The previous Saturday Indi- ana went down to defeat against a Michigan team which took merci- less advantage of every Hoosier misplay. Against Ohio State, the fired- up Indiana eleven seized every break that came their way, made few miscues themselves, and in- cidentally outgained Ohio sta- tisticall3L All this points to the fact that Illinois is going to have a rousing time at Bloomington. Coach Ray Eliot is worried, as he remembers that the last time the Illini jour- neyed toIndiana, in 1946, the In- diana team dumped the eventual Big Ten and Rose Bowl Champions uncerimoniously.
