PAGE THREE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Wolverine, MSC Clash To Inaugurate Hockey Loop Ameche, Giel Lead Conference Runners Coatta Sets Four Passing Records CHICAGO-(A)-Two 18-year- old rookies with brawn and speed and a whip-armed, veteran cap- tured top statistical honors in the 1951 Big Ten football race in which 13 individual performance marks were broke nor tied. In a league perenially tabbed "for seniors only," freshman full- back Alan Ameche of Wisconsin Strauss Tank Powerhouse Rips Gomberg Strauss House displayed a pow- erhouse of swimming strength to trounce a thoroughly outclassed Gomberg tank team, 43-14, last night at the Intramural pool. Strauss was never headed as the 100-yard free style relay team, composed of D o n Hammond, George Schatz, Fred Hohwart, and Don Schieaele, swept past the Gomberg squad easily. George Schatz and Fred Hamil came back in the 50-yard free style to cop first and second, respectively. * * * DEN SCHMIEAEKE, along with Murray Schwartzberg, continued the torrid pace when they cap- tured first and second in the 25- yard backstroke, respectively. Strauss finished its victory pa- rade with a double triumph in the 25-yard breaststroke and a run- away of the 75-yard medley relay to complete its scoring. * * * KELSEY HOUSE was edged,29- 27, by Williams House in a nip and tuck battle. Williams drew first blood with a quick triumph by the 100-yard relay team of Bob Bolt, Don Anderson, Barret Broad, and Tom Johnson. Kelsey rallied to sweep the 25- yard breaststroke when Andy Samelsock broke stroke and was disqualified. Kelsey forged ahead with a one, two finish in the 25-yard free style by Bob Bolt and Barret Broad, but Ton Johnson and Allan Butterworth countered with a first and third in the backstroke that was the margin of victory. * * * Intramural Results bowled to two new modern rush- ing records and sophomore Paul Giel of Minnesota smashed all to- tal offense marks. ANOTHER WISCONSIN star, senior quarterback Johnny Coatta repeated as Big Ten passing cham- pion with four new aerial records. The 205-pound Ameche, ac- curately nick-named the horse, ripped through enemy lines for 774 yards, toppling the record set in 1949 by halfback Johnny Karras of Illinois. Karras, a senior this year, wound up sev- enth in rushing with 359 yards. Ameche's feat of 147 carries in seven games also was a new rec- ord, surpassing the 1942 record of 134 tries by Ohio State's Gene Fekete. * * * THE OFFICIAL league statistics released yesterday credited 185- pound Giel with 1,079 yards by passing and rushing in six games. That bettered the seven-game to- tal of 1,039 which gave Michigan's Bob Chappius the previous record in 1946. Giel, a superb all-around back who also punted and caught passes for the Gophers, had a record-breaking per game total offense average of 194.8, break- ing Chappuis' 1947 mark of 169.8. AP ROUNDUP: Giel finished second to Ameche in rushing with 651 yards in 123 tries for the same average as Ameche, 5.3. Third best ball-car- rier was senior fullback Bill Rei- chardt of Iowa with 124 tries for 577 yards and a 4.7 average. COATTA'S 76 completions on 146 passes, both records, amassed 1,030 yards, far exceeding the old record of 714 set by Northwestern's Otto Graham, now kingpin of the Cleveland Browns, in 1942. The brilliant Badger quarterback's game average was 147.1, scrapping the record of 128.8 set in 1950 by Indiana's Lou D'Achille. Other new records included 12 kickoff returns and 299 yards on those returns by Minnesota full- back Ron Engel. Marks were tied by safety Al Brosky of Illinois with seven pass interceptions, halfback Bill Lane of Wisconsin with 18 punt returns, and Coatta and VicI Janowicz of Ohio State with twoI field goals each. Leading Conference scorer with 48 points on eight touchdowns was Wisconsin's Jerry Witt, who also had the best rushing average 7.1 and led in pass receiving with 16 catches for 372 yards. Iowa's Chuck Denning had the best punt- ing average, 38.0 yards. IMidwestern League Led y Heyliger Michigan s hockey opener next Wednesday at Michigan State in- augurates action in the newly or- ganized Midwestern Collegiate Hockey League which has tempor- ary headquarters in Ann Arbor, Wolverine puck coach Vic Heyliger announced yesterday. The enterprising Heyliger also explained plans f o r handling standings, statistics, tie games, NCAA representatives, and other details in the function of the sevenI team loop, conceived by collegeI hockey mentors at their annual meeting last spring in Boston. FOR THE CURRENT season, at least, Heyliger and other Wolver- ine hockey enthusiasts will act to make Ann Arbor League head- quarters, disseminating informa- tion and coordinating activities for the organization which in- cludes Michigan, Michigan State, Michigan Tech, North Dakota, Denver, Colorado, and Minnesota. Ileyliger has already drawn up a schedule, opening with the Wolverine-MSC tilt next week, which has each team playing 12 contests, two with every other member, to count REPEAT SELECTION: Scribes Choose Johnson Top ' Player of Week t 1 By HERB COHEN Tom Johnson, Michigan's 225- pound left tackle, was designated last weekend for the second time this year as the player of the week. The sportswriters in the Stad- ium pressbox bestowed the honor upon the Muskegon Heights sen- ior for his outstanding defensive play in the Wolverines 7-0 con- quest of Ohio State. JOHNSON, WHO WAS playing in his last game for Michigan gave ample evidence of the "old col- lege spirit," when even though he PEORIA, IIl.--{P--Bradley Tni- had injured his knee, he refused versity last night withdrew from to be kept on the sidelines, the Missouri Valley Conference, TOM JOHNSON ... repeat performance Strong Ilinois, Indiana Head Michigan Basketball Schedule Braves Out Of MVC-Six Teams Left Michigan's 1951-52 basketball schedule, which begins Saturday at Central Michigan and ends with Purdue early in March, is loaded with stumbling blocks, most of them in the form of other Big Ten cage squads. If Coach Ernie McCoy's hard- wood warriors are to finish the season with a winning record they will have to do so against some of the best cage teams in the na- tion. in the standings. Tate, Roffler Backs of Week; Rangers Trounce Hawks, 6-3 NEW YORK - Bill Tate, line crasher of Illinois' Rose Bowl-elev- en and Bud Roffler of Washing- ton State yesterday were named the backs of the week in the As- sociated Press football poll. Tate piled up 167 yards in 31 bucks in Saturday's 3-0 Illinois victory over Northwestern that enabled the Illini to win the Big Ten championship and get the Rose Bowl invitation. His per- formance won him offensive honors. Raffler got the defensive nod although he played the full game in State's 27-25 victory over Wash- ington. He helped stop Washing- ton drives by intercepting two passes, running them back 26 and 31 yards. * s * NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers burst out with their big- gest scoring spree of the season last night as they defeated the Chicago Black Hawks, 6-3, at Madison Square Garden to move into a three-way tie for third place in the National Hockey League. MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Yankee squad for the December 29 Blue-Gray gridiron tussle was bolstered yesterday with the addi- tion of three star linemen from Michigan State's undefeated Spar- tans. Frank Kapral, 205 and Dean Garner, 190. All three had an important part in Michigan State's rise to nation- al prominence, ranking second in the nation on the last Associated Press poll. ..CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-Illinois' Big Ten championship football team will have six home workouts, start- ing December 10, before leaving December 16 for its Rose Bowl en- counter with Stanford. Coach Ray Eliot yesterday an- nounced the Illini practice rou- tine before the New Year's Iay classic at Pasadena, California, also would include ten drills on the West coast. The Bowl prac- tice limit is 16 days. Eliot plans to take the maxi- mum quota of 44 players, leaving Chicago aboard the Santa Fe Su- perchief the evening of Decem- ber 16. Purdue Skippers Cop NU Regatta Purdue University sailed to first place honors in the Northwestern Fall Invitational Regatta held Thanksgiving weekend in Chicago, while the Michigan Sailing Club could do no better than fifth place.

THE HOOSIERS who boast1 to fill the shoes of center Bill Garrett and forward Bill Tos- heff who finished fifth in the Big Ten's individual scoring race last year. Senior guard Ab Nicholas and junior forward Jim Clinton give Wisconsin a high powered scoring Dudley Chosen Grid.Mknager Senior football manager for next year will be Gerry Dudley, '53E, Lee Stock, this year's manager, announced last night. Dudley, who hails from Pel- ham Manor, N. Y., was chosen by a committee consisting, of C o a c h Bennie Oosterbaan, equipment m a n a g e r Henry Hatch, Stock, and trainer Jim Hunt. Stock also announced the appointment of the following junior managers by this year's junior crew: Charles Bancroft, '54E, Toledo, Ohio; Gerald Kess, '55Ph., Cleveland Heights, Ohio; Gilbert Lauretti, Grad., West Hartford, Connecticut; and James McClune, '53A&D, Ann Arbor. threat which should hand Coach Harold (Bud) Foster a winning combination once more. * *. * IOWA'S CHIEF threat will come from the hands of Chuck Darling, a 220-pound, 6'8" center from Fort Logan, Colorado. Playing both on offense and defense, as he has done the en- tire season, Johnson was superbI throughout. When he was forced to leave the game temporarily in the third quarter, the defensive line almost crumbled. * * * OHIO STATE, remembering the Stanford game when Johnson was again forced to leave, began to run through the weak spot in the Michigan line, left tackle, the spot usually occupied by Johnson. Time and again the hard- running Buckeye backs ran off their own right tackle ^,d time and again they gained yardage. Finally they were halted, deep in Michigan territory. Johnson, being worked on con- stantly by the Michigan trainer, finally was able to reenter the game. And when he did the Mich- igan line bolstered and showed the toughness only an inspirational force like he can give it. * * * THE ASSOCIATED PRESS and another news service have come out in the past week with all Western Conference teams. In both cases Johnson has been placed on the first team, and it is highly probable that many more "all" teams will display his name promi- nently. Sherwin Gandee, Ohio State's player of the week was also cit- ed for his outstanding defensive work at the left end's position. Gandee, a 6'O 204 pound senior from Akron, Ohio, was a standout for the Buckeyes all day. Although Michigan completed a goodly number of their passes, the ones they didn't complete can largely be traced back to Gandee. following the same action taken by Drake University Tuesday night. Bradley's withdrawal, voted by the school's faculty athletic com- mittee, reduced the Conference to six members-Oklahoma A & M, Houston, Detroit, Tulsa, St. Louis and Wichita. DRAKE ENDED 43 years of Conference membership because of the League's failure to act'on a protest in the widely-publicized "Bright case." Bradley entered the Conference three years ago. Bradley, while quitting in sympathy, cited several other reasons. One is that Bradley has gone begging for Conference football games. Drake and Wi- chita were the only members on Bradley's 1952 grid schedule. Another stemmed from the Con- ference voiding of a Bradley bas- ketball and one baseball champ- ionship after several former Brad- ley basketball players were impli- cated in the point-rigging scandal, THE BRADLEY faculty com- mittee met yesterday afternoon to discuss withdrawal from the Con- ference. After a brief adjourn- ment for dinner, the discussion continued last night. The committee simply an- nounced it had voted the with- drawal and said a statement covering its decision would be given out later. The move had been suggested to the council by Bradley's presi- dent, David B. Owen. Hairstyling to Please You Today!! ---- 8 HAI RCUTTERS -- 11 C H RISTMAS CARDS U. of M.
