PAGE THREE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 THE MI1CHIGAN DI)ALY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1951 PAGE THREE } I M TALKING ... Sy Jo'hn Jehk4 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. i Wolverines En tra in fior Ch ampaig 4 on f,. 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.

Washington over Oregon State- the Huskies have the best material on the coast, and this week they show it. 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. Michigan rolled in the early thirties under former All Ameri- can Harry Kipke, and the Illini felt the might of those Wolver- ine powerhouses in.35-0 and 32-0 shellackings. ichigantJVs Face1Mtami; Seek 3(1Win Tomorrow morning on Ferry Field Michigan's Junior Varsity grid squad will seek its third vic- tory of the season at the expense of a Miami Ohio) JV eleven. The Wolverines will be without the services of tailback Don Evans, who was injured in last week's 7-6 defeat of Michigan State. Evans had sparked the Maize and Blue with his hard running ! nd sharp passing as they beat Marquette 27-21, and lost, 20-7, to MSC in other encounters this year. To take up the offensive slack caused by Evans' injury, coach Don Robinson is counting heavily on fullbacks Fred Baer and Dick Balzhiser, quarterback Mark Scarr, and wingbacks Stan Knickerbock- erer and Dan Beckers ,Scarr~, Baer and Balzhiser also spearhead Robinson's aerial at- tack, which has functioned well of late, with end Bob Topp doing most of the catching.
