THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE PAGE THREE C ampanella BIG TEN BRIEFS: Eager Buckeyes Attempt To Stay On Victory Path- Named NL Most Valuable Player * * * By ROD COOK Although the struggle between Illinois and Michigan at Cham- paign takes precedence in both Big Ten and national interest this Saturday, two other important Western Conference contests will be decided this week. The first will match a chastened Wildcat squad against Ohio State, now apparently ready and eager to prove that the great things ex- * * * Badger Pair ATakes Lead In Statistics CHICAGO --(P)- Wisconsin's one-two combination of John Coatta's passing and young Alan Ameche's running gives the Badg- ers the Big Ten's top individual performers. Official statistics released yes- terday show Coatta's heaves have been good for 679 yards. He's at- tempted 96 passes in his four Con- ference games and completed 51 for a .531 average. * * * FIVE OF HIS tosses went for touchdowns. Ameche, the freshman who runs like a pro, has run up 391 yards on 76 rushes for an average of. 5.1. The respective totals of the two Badgers place them well to the fore of other Big Ten stars. Tony Curcillo of Ohio State set a record for one game last week- end against Iowa when his pass and run efforts were good for a total 308 yards. He ranks second to Coatta in total offense now with 469 yards in three games. ANOTHER Wisconsin back, Jerry Witt, holds the scoring lead in the Big Ten. Witt scored four touchdowns Saturday against Northwestern and now has 36 points in Big Ten competition. Fullback Bill Reichardt of Iowa is giving Ameche the clos- est race for rushing leader. In three Conference games Rei- chardt has crunched 310 yards on an average of 5.2 yards per try. Both Ameche and Reichardt are topped in average gain, however, by Michigan's Wes Bradford, with an 8.4 average on 24 attempts, and by Johnny Karas of Illinois, with. a 5.7 average on 31 carries. Bill Putich of Michigan has the best passing average. He's com- pleted .625 per cent of his throws. One of his receivers, Lowell Perry, leads the take-in department with 12 catches good for 324 yards. pected at the start were not just false of the season alarms. ALSO, POWERFUL Wisconsin and undependable Indiana will clash at Madison next Saturday, and Wisconsin is expected to keep its Bowl hopes alive by beating the Hoosiers. The Wildcats, after having won four straight, were dumped by an impressive Wisconsin eleven 41-0 and are still licking their wounds. These injuries are mostly mental, according to coach Bob Voigts, who said, "We haven't any serious injur- ies. In fact, the boys didn't play hard enough to get hurt." Since the recent severe Hoosier deflation, Buckeye preferred is zooming again in Columbus as a result of Ohio's resounding 47-21 victory over a good Iowa team. OHIO STATE'S hopes are being further bolstered by the return of Captain Bob Heid and all- American halfback Vic Janowicz to the lineup. At Madison the Badgers are going ahead with their prepara- tions for Saturday's festivities minus their two regular offen- sive ends, Hal Favey and Gene Felher. Incidentally, the Wisconsin de- fense was labeled by a Hoosier scout as the best he has seen all season. The Badger defensive con- tingent certainly seemed to live up to this billing against North- western last week, as they held the Wildcats to a total of 23 yards rushing. * * ,* THE PREVIOUSLY p o t e n t Northwestern aerial attack was held to nine completions for 90 yards in 29 tries. Indiana suffered a very se- vere blow to its hopes for an upset over the Badgers when Bob Robertson, Hoosier left halfback, was inducted into the army this week. Robertson is noted as one of the Big Ten's best punters. His total offense in the 23 games he played for Indiana shows 2,799 yards gained for 90 points, just six points short of the all-time Indi- ana scoring period. * * * COACH CLYDE SMITH promo- ted freshman Florian Helsinki to the varsity to take over Robert- son's punting duties. Purdue has seven backs side- lined after last Saturday's bruis- ing contest with Notre Dame as the Boilermakers dig in in pre- paration for Penn State. MSC has an open date this week, and thus will have two weeks to prepare for their game with Notre Dame. ROY CAMPANELLA . .star Brooklyn catcher 11' Hopeful Of Chances On Saturday Illinois is the big one. Michigan's Coach Bennie Ooster- baan has been muttering "Illinois" to himself and his coaching staff for the past month, but the tone of hisutterances have changed considerably of late. THREE WEEKS ago they car- ried a rather hopeless, resigned tone. Now, after three straight Conference wins, Oosterbaan's "Illinois" has transformed into a confident, somewhat optimistic keynote as the Wolverines make calculated preparations for an, upset of the Illini Saturday. And an upset it will be should Michigan win, since the unde- feated Champaign outfit ranked third in the country, is a seven point favorite to take the Maize and Blue, according to latest reports from the wagering gentry. Saturday's contest is being billed as the game to decide the Big Ten Championship, with both principals unbeaten in Confer- ence play. SPIRIT BEGAN to build uip in yesterday's drills as the Wolver- ines went through their usual of- fensive and defensiveworkout, most of it in a cold twilight. The Maize and Blue polished its passing attack, with several throwers hittingkassorted tar- gets. Lacking an outstanding passer, Oosterbaan has solved the problem by having everyone in the backfield throw, Bill Put- ich, Don Oldham, Ted Topor, and Don Peterson especially. Last year Illinois had to figure on stopping Chuck Ortmann to halt Michigan'staerial attack, but this weekend the Illini will be forced to worry about several pass- ers. D E F E N S I V E L Y Michigan's headache is how to stop Johnny Karras. The afternoon's drill concluded on an optimistic note, character- istic of recent practices: Seeing Lowell Perry make a leaping one- handed catch of a pass on the last scrimmage play, Oosterbaan jovially shouted, "That's all; I've seen enough." Musial Gains{ Seeond Spot; Irvin Third NEW YORK --iP) - Roy Cam- panella, Brooklyn's brilliant catch- er, yesterday was named Most Valuable Player in the National League for 1951 by a 24-man com- mittee of the Baseball Writers As- sociation of America. It was the third time in the last 13 years that the writers have strayed from a National League pennant winner to pick the Mostj Valuable Player. Although the Dodgers blew a 13/2 game lead and lost the flag to the New York Giants in a playoff, Campanella drew 11 of 24 first place votes. THE CHUNKY catcher, ap- proaching his 30th birthday Nov. 19, shrugged off a series of injur- ies, trying to avoid the threat of disaster. Hobbled by a leg in- jury he limped through the first playoff game but had to sit out the last two as the Dodgers lost the pennant. He batted .325, fourth highest in the League, hit 33 homers and drove in 108 runs. Campanella piled up 243 points on the basis of 14 for a first place vote, nine for second and so on down to one for tenth. He clearly outdistanced the op- position. Stan Musial of St. Louis, win- ning his fifth batting title with a .355 average, finished second with two firsts and 191 points. Stan was the only man to be named on all 24 ballots. * * * MONTE IRVIN, big power man for the Giants with 121 runs batted in and a .312 average, had five first place votes-three more than Musial. Still, Irvin wound up with 166 points, good only for third place. The complete tabulation of the voting with first place votes in parenthesis: Johnny Karras Sparks IllinoisRunning Attack By HERB NEIL Michigan will face one of the most dangerous runners in the country in the person of Johnny Karras when they take the field against Illinois Saturdayafter- noon. The Wolverines' concentration on defense this week in practice , is in large measure devoted to finding the key to halting this elusive halfback, who holds the Big Ten rushing record of 732 yards which he set as a sopho- more.' AFTER COMPILING such a fine record in 1949 Karras was ham-j pered by a sprained ankle last season which kept him out of two games and limited his play in a third encounter. Despite his in- juries, however, he was able to pick up 593 yards on the ground in 117 carries for an average of 5.1 yards per try. - One of the games Karras missed last year was the con- test with Michigan in the snow, which the Illini won byJ a 7-0 score in the battle of JOHNNY KARRAS punters.

Claude Crawford proved to be the big gun in the Sig Ep victory. He hit Paddy Haas twice on passes for touchdowns, and then ended his big day by throwing an- other perfect strike to Dave Space. JERRY ROVNER once again led the Pi Lam attack, although this time it was in a lost cause. Rovner passed to Jules Belkin for the Pi Lams first score, and ran for their second one himself. In another decisive game, Psi Omega shutout Air Force, 21-0, to clinch the championship of their division, and qualify for next week's professional play- offs. Bob Reed threw two touchdown passes, one to Don Briggs and an- other to Roger Wall who scam- pered 20 yards after grabbing the toss. Jim Laidlow acounted for the rest of the points by taking a pitchout and racing through the Air Force defense for 35 yards. IN THE SAME division, Phi Delta Phi qualified for the second place play-offs by walloping Phi Delta Epsilon, 29-0. Dick Donaldson passed 35 yards to Wally Riley for the Phi Delt's first six points, which were really all that they needed. Later in the first half, Riley in- tercepted an enemy pass at mid- field and ran it all the way back for another TD. Bill Clark scampered 10 yards for the third score, early in the second half, and Dick Donaldson passed to Jim Gault for Phi Delta Phi's final marker after they had picked up an extra two points when they trapped a Phi Ep in the end-zone for a safety. In other games, Kappa Sigma defeated Sigma Nu, 7-0; Law Club 'A' ran all over Phi Delta Chi, 46-0, and Gomberg edged out Fletcher, 12-6 in overtime.
