WHEN ATO KNOCKED OFF Sigma Chi the other night it marked
the first time that a fraternity has won the football title more
than once. Of course, it should be pointed out that touch football
is a comparatively new sport in Greek circles, being inaugurated as
recently as 1947.
Up until that time speedball provided the means by which
the white bucks men let off excess energy on autumn afternoons..
With the assumption of football to a major sport in '47, the
"great big hairy-chested men" stepped in and hung up their first
pigskin crown. In the interim between then and now the Phi
Delts, Chi Psi's and Delta Sags came up with championship teams.
Although team play is unquestionably the biggest factor in any
success in touch football, sometimes a few individuals stand out so
prominently that their teams' good fortunes appear synonymous with
their abilities. So it is with Howie Maturen and Don Fackler of ATO.

A Potent Scoring Combo
MATUREN AND FACKLER began appearing in print when they
teamed up to lead Michigan House of the West Quad to a football
title last year. Maturen was the Michigangers' ace passer, and, natur-
ally, his favorite target was Fackler. T e pair affiliated with ATO
and continued where they left off on the gridiron.
There are no statistics available to show just how big a factor
the two were in ATO's success this year, but the final game gives
an indication of it. The initial six pointer came as a result of a
Maturen-Fackler pass, and in the first half Maturen passed on
every ATO play. This year's victims of the pair may take refuge
+ in the thought that both graduate next spring.
One campus aggregation that compiled a near-fantastic record
this year in touch football was the Law Club 'A' squad. During the
recent campaign the lawyers rang up 151 points while holding their
opponents scoreless. If this feat doesn't impress, the fact that the
situation was never so bad that they had to punt should.
In he professional fraternity final the barristers racked up a
favored Delta Sigma Delta team by a 32-0 count. The Delt's ace
passer and former Wolverine gridder, Joe Ponsetto, was unable to hit
his receivers consistently, so harassed was he by the rushing lawyer
line.

Wolverines'
Drill To Stop
Ohio Passes
Michigan's Wolverines, victims
of upset defeats by Cornell and
Northwestern the last two week-
ends, set about in practice yester-
day to fashion an upset of their
own against Ohio State Satur-
day.
The underdog role against the
Buckeyes is nothing new for coach
Bennie Oosterbaan's Wolverines,
as the Ohioans also were favored
to take Michigan in both 1950
and '49; last year the Maize and
Blue triumphed in the blizzard,
9-3, and the season before that
Ohio settled for a 7-7 tie in Ann
Arbor.
NEW YORK-(P)-The Univer-
sity of Tennessee was back in the
No. 1 spot yesterday in the weekly
nation-wide Associated Press foot-
ball poll but Gen. Bob Neylant's
Volunteers are no cinch to wind up
the season in that lofty position.
Whereas seven o fthe top 10
teams close out their regular sea-
son this Saturday, Tennessee and
two others in the select group
have two more games before the
long fall grind ends.
* * *
TENNESSEE, which vaulted
back into the No. 1 and dropped
Michigan State into the No. 2
ranking, meets Kentuiky Satur-
day at Lexington and winds up
Dec. 1 with Vanderbilt at Knox-
ville. Kentucky is the No. 9 team
this week, gaining strength after
a poor early season.
Either Kentucky or Vandy
could hand the unbeaten Vols,
named to meet Maryland in the
Sugar Bowl New Year's Day,
their first setback of the cam-
paign.
The seven steams which end their
regular season Saturday are Mich-
igan State, No. 2 this week; Stan-
ford, No. 3; Maryland, No. 4;
Princeton, No. 5; Illinois, No. 6;
Wisconsin, No. 8; and Kentucky,
No. 9.
,'* *
GEORGIA TECH, No. 7, meets
Davidson Saturday, and Georgia
Dec. 1, both games in Atlanta.
Tech also has accepted an Orange
Bowl invite. The No. 10 team,
Baylor, plays Southern Methodist
Saturday, and Rice on Dec. 1. Rice,
T. C. U., Baylor, Texas and South-
ern Methodist, still are contenders
for the Cotton Bowl assignment
against Kentucky.
For the teams ending their
schedule this week, Stanford ap-
pears to have the toughest out-
look in its game with California
at Palo Alto. Stanford seems
assured of the Rose Bowl bid, but
a defeat won't help the Indians'
No. 3 rating in the poll, which
continues two more weeks.
Michigan State, No. 1 in the poll
a week ago, plays Colorado at East
Lansing.
* * *
ILLINOIS can assure the 'Big 10
title and a trip to the Rose Bowl
by defeating or tieing Northwest-
ern Saturday at Evanston. But,
the Illini won't be buying any tick-
ets for Pasadena until the game's

ended. Northestern has beaten
Illinois for the last four years, and
deprived the same team of a Rose
Bowl excursion last fall by winning
a 14-7 stunner.
Wisconsin meets Minnesota at
Minneapolis. A victory for the
Badgers and defeat of Illinois by

Co-captains John Davies and
Stew Elliott, who hold several na-

them, head the list of returning
lettermen that already are prepar-
ing for the 1951-52 swimming sea-
son under the eyes of Coach Matt

Davies, who competed for Aus-
tralia in the 1948 Olympics,
reached his top performance to
date when he broke the National
AAU outdoor record for the 200-
meter breaststroke in last sum-
mer's meet at Detroit's Brennan
Pools.
HIS WINNING time was 2:35.8
which topped, the old mark of
2:36.3 set by Joe Verdeur four
years earlier.
This record breaking feat
made him a double winner in
the meet as he had raced to a
100-meter breaststroke victory
the day before.
He thereby added these cham-
pionships to his 220-yard NAAU

[ INTRAMURAL BRIEFS
The old perennials, the Sig Eps and Williams, are once again
going to be tough to beat, especially with the good start they have.
But the intramural year is a long one and anything can happen
between now and June.
If there was such an animal as a sportsmanship trophy
awarded each year, the Phi Delts feel that the presentation
should be made to the Alpha Delts this time. The latter refused
to accept the forfeited games they were awarded when the Phis
showed up late for a volleyball match between the clubs, and
played them out as real sportsmen would.
The results were disastrous for the gentlemen from State street
(six wins for the opposition), but their hearts were in the right place,
and that, after all, is the chief ,reason for having intramural sports
in the first place as we see it.
Curcillo lines up at quarter-
back in Coach Woody Hayes'. T
formation, while Janowicz runs
from leift half. Both Janowicz
and Curcillo are respeeted run-
ners also.
Oosterbaan drilled his squad
hard on pass defense yesterday,
with Dave Tinkham, Lowell Perry,
and Don Oldham in the principal
roles as defenders.
OFFENSIVELY, cracking the
tough Ohio line is Oosterbaan's
main worry. In last week's 0-0
deadlock with Illinois, the Buck-
eye forwards held the vaunted Il-
lini ground attack to a net total
of 48 yards.
Kingpin of the OSU defense is
end Sherwin Gandee, who was
particularly troublesome to the
Illini backfield Saturday. Ganldee
is also used occasionally as a pass
catcher. Last year Gandee played
more minutes (251) than any other
Buckeye except Janowicz.

Three residence halls, Williams,
Kelsey, and Chicago, and one fra-
ternity, Alpha Tau Omega, ad-
vanced up the ladder in the I-M
dual swimming tournament yes-
terday.
Williams House triumphed over
Winchell House, 37-17, with the
aid of Bob Bolt, who won the 25-
yard free style in 11.8, and helped
his 75-yard medley relay team to
a 43.1 victory. Both times were
the best of the evening for these;
events. Williams also collected
firsts in the free style relay and
the 50-yd. free style.
* * *
KELSEY HOUSE downed Adams
House, 32-28, despite Wayne Slaw-
son's performance in the 25-yard
breast stroke. Slawson had the
best time in that event, going the
length in 14.1. Kelsey picked up

four first places and Adams had
only two.
Frank Haag of Chicago House
sparked his teammates in a 29-
28 edge of Hayden House. Haag
recorded a 14.3 time in the 25-
yard back stroke. Duncan Ma-
goon of Hayden House also 4ad
one of the evenings top times;
25.9 sec. in the 50-yard free
style. Both houses took an equal
number of firsts but Chicago
salvaged the extra point with
seconds and thirds.
ATO breezed by Phi Lambda
Phi, 35-24, taking first in every
event except the 50-yard free
style.

(Last in a series spotlighting last
Saturday's performance of Michigan'sE
future 1951 grid foes.)I
The Buckeye will be a tough nut
for Michigan to crack this Satur-
day.
AFTER sputtering past inept
Pittsburgh and Northwestern by
the margin of field goals in their
last two outings, Ohio State's
Buckeyes finally hit on all cylin-
ders last weekend to hold unbeaten
Illinois to a 0-0 deadlock.
By virtue of their play against
the Conference leading Illini,
the Bucks have established
themselves as favorites to beat
the Wolverines.
But for a fumble by the holder
on a field goal attempt from Illi-
nois' eight yard line, the Ohioans
might have defeated the Cham-
paign outfit. Vic Janowicz had
booted three pointers to win the
two previous games, and he prob-
ably could have' made it three
straight wins if the ball had been
placed for him.
BOTH TEAMS tried hard to give
the game away. OSU lost the ball
four times on fumbles, but made
up for it by intercepting four Illini
aerials. Illinois picked off one
wayward Buck pass, and lost two
fumbles, once on the Ohio seven
yard line when Johnny Karras
bobbled.

In the fourth period, Illinois
almost duplicated their last
ditch rally that beat Michigan,
7-0. Al Brosky, Illinois' chief
interceptor, ran back an inter-
cepted pass 44 yards to Ohio's
38. Then Quarterback Tom O'-
Connell hit Rex Smith with a
28 yard aerial.
But Buckeye Fred Bruney in-
tercepted O'Connell's next heave
on the goal line and moved it out
to the 25.
PLAYING its outstanding game
of the season, Ohio State's pow-
erful lineheld the famed Illinois
ground attack to a net gain of
48. yards.
End Sherwin Gandee and
tackles Johnny Borton and Jul-
ius Wittman combined to give
the Illini backs a rough after-
noon.
Among other feats, Gandee
threw O'Connell for a 24 yard loss
when the Illini had a first down
on OSU's 27.
