THE LAST FEW WEEKS this column has been featuring the assort-
ed grievances of participants in intramural sports. It seems only
fair that before continuing with these complaints a few words should
be said about the troubles one meets when running a program as large
as Michigan's intramural program.
From autumn until spring at least one sport is in the process of
being played, and more often than not there are several diversions
offered to the sports-minded. Throw in upwards of 80 competing
teams, individual tournaments and co-recreation night, and wide
possibilities for a colossal foul-up appear on the horizon.

Orchids to Earl Riskey
PERHAPS NO OTHER administrator on this campus tackles his
job with more enthusiasm than Earl Riskey, IM czar. Aided by
his assistant, Rod Grambeau, and a staff of student managers, Riskey
has kept the intramural gears greased for the last 18 years. There
have been the inevitable errors that accompany such a huge organi-
zation, but they have been kept to a miiimum because of Riskey's
tireless efforts.
Riskey gave us a good idea of the complexity of his outfit when
we asked him why the champions of the fraternity and residence hall
leagues don't meet in a real title contest. He pointed out that football
lasts too late in the year to play another game, basketball finishes the
week before spring vacation and that the finals in baseball are still
going during final exams.
Besides the scheduling difficulties encountered in such a
project, there is the added factor of what to do with the profes-
ional fraternity and independent winners. Riskey stated that
they. would want to be considered in any campus championship
deal, making any playoff that much more remote.
Besides arranging the various schedules for the four leagues,
Riskey also spends considerable time collecting oddities which have
occurred in intramural competition. These tidbits of information
are inserted in the IM handbook which is published annually. We
picked out a few of the more interesting happenings to pass along
to the masses.
Them Were the Days
THERE WAS THE TIME a fraternity dog, sleeping peacefully be-
hind home plate, was rudely awaken by a player lunging for a pop
foul in the dog's vicinity. The startled canine showed his disapproval
of such carryings-on by promptly imbedding his teeth in the player's
throat. No sir, softball today just isn't the he-man sport it used to be.
Back in '34 Phi Psi and Phi Epsilon Pi staged a softball game
that turned out to be an offensive monster. Phi Psi won, 24-16,
scoring the unbelievable total of 17 runs in the third frame. They
had to do it, too, for in that same inning Phi Pi came up with 11
markers.
The real marathon tilt of intramural competition featured a
hockey playoff between the 38's and the Delts. -There were three
regular periods during which nobody scored. Five more overtimes
produced the same net results. In the sixth overtime period, with
both squads out on their feet, a 38 edged one into the nets for a 1-0
win. The total elapsed time was an even four hours.
Next time you drift through the lobby of the Sports building, take
a gander at the plaques hanging there. They are the gift of an
alumnus named Mitchell, who in turn received them from one Jean
Chryssafis. The latter got them from the Ministry of Education in
Athens, Greece. They are replicas of originals excavated in 1924
on the estate of an Athenian nobleman.

Squad of 40
Set for Key
Illini Clash
Defense Stressed
In Final Workout
A squad of forty Wolverine grid
men entrains for Champaign at
7:30 this morning for tomorrow's
all important Conference clash
with Illinois.
In holding yesterday's final
practice session Coach Bennie
Oosterbaan put most of the em-
phasis on defense, but he stressed
the fact that a sharp and poised
attack must also be in the posses-
sion of his charges when they
take the field against the Illini.
S* * .*
"WE HAVE to give them every-
thing we've got," he told his white
shirted pupils, and the hope is
that nothing has been left behind
for this journey.
The team is in good physical
shape and the same backfield
combination that has racked up
three straight Big Ten victories
will again carry the offensive
load for the Wolverines in their
biggest test so far.
Captain Bill Putich will be at
left half, Ted Topor at quarter-
back, Wes Bradford at right half
and Don Peterson will be the full-
back. This quartetalongwith
star end Lowell Perry have ac-
counted for practically all of the
108 points that Michigan has
rolled up against its Conference
opposition.
Defensively the Wolverines are
out to stop Johnny Karras, but
even if they can do this they will
also have to deal with Don Stev-
ens, Bill Tate and Pete Bachouras.
The compete travelingateam:
Ends: B o b Dingman, Merritt
Greene, Fred Pickard, Leo Schlicht,
Tad Stanford, Gene Knutson, Russ
Osterman and Lowell Perry.

lomew, Tom Johnson, Ben Pederson
and Ralph Stribe..
Guards: Dick Beison, Don Bennett,

Jim Wolter.
Centers: Dean Ludwig, Wayne Mel-

first victory over Michigan.
Five years after this initial
triumph, Red Grange staged his
memorable one-man touchdown
parade. The occasion was the
dedication game of the Illinois
Memorial Stadium, and Grange
scored four times in the first ten
minutes and once in the last
quarter as the Orange and Blue
stunned Michigan, 39-14.
The story of this game and ofj,
Grange's exploits has been retold
countless times by the loyal fol-
lowers of the University of Illinois.
Michigan fans however, remember
with pride what happened on a
much less publicized afternoon just
one year later, when the Wolver-
ines stopped the Illini and their
star, 3-0.
THREE significant changes had
strengthened Michigan for the
great test of 1925. The immortal
Fielding Yost was back at the
helm after a doctor's-orders vaca-
tion of a year, Bennie Oosterbaan
was beginning his All American
career at end, and Benny Fried-
man was coming into his own as
a passer and quarterback. Fried-
man provided the margin of vic-
tory with an eighteen yard field-
goal just before the half, while
the great Michigan forward wall
kept Grange tightly in check all
afternoon.

thirties under former All Ameri-
can Harry Kipke, and the Illini

Hockey Squad
Begpins Work
Coach Vic Heyliger wasted little
time yesterday as he sent his 1951
NCAA hockey champs through a
light scrimmage in the first prac-
tice session of the season.
The object, Heyliger declared,
was merely to "get the boys' legs
in shape."
With nine lettermen returning
to the ice wars plus nine men from
last year's talented freshman
squad, Heyliger will this year find
himself with an abundance of good
material.
