SPORTS SLANTS
.By Ed Whipple
Those with the biggest mouths generally get the most attention,
which is fine sometimes, and not too fine on other occasions, as Michi-
gan State has just found out.
It's hard to find any sympathy for the Spartans' cause, whether
they are guilty of any more misdeeds than some other members of
the Big Ten or not. State has claimed there are other schools violating
That matbensbut this is the fundamental difference between
them and Michigan State: The unnamed offenders have at least
had the good intelligence to keep their mouths shut as they went
about recruiting. The Spartans, on the other hand, have gone
about their business in such blatant style no one could mistake
their purpose.
Further, President John Hannah hasn't been content to
quietly condone illegal subsidization under his own nose; he has
seen fit to play the hypocrite, proclaiming a deemphasis program
to the academic world. Hlere are two of his more recent mouthings,
as chairman of the American Council on Education's group named
to recommend sports reform:
"Recruiting and subsidization remains the basic problem; I hope
it will be slowed down by the college presidents. The only decent thing.
to do is to give the conferences, the NCAA, and the accrediting
agencies a chance to see what they can do."
And when Hannah asked for MSC's admission into the Big Ten
in 1947, he declared, "The evil is what is done beyond the realm
of scholarship admI b durilissions.... Imean by alumni groups, indutilcon-
cerns, downtown coaches and so on... -"
All this comes from a man whose school has just been slapped
down for promoting an alumni dlub that helps athletes on the sly.
Now he says such action is "unwarranted and unjustified."
In other words, the Spartans were asking for it, with a capital
"A."
They have denied any official connection with the Spartan
Club, yet the MSC alumni Field Secretary has damitted signing a
letter asking for $100 contributions to the Spartan Foundation,
with a secret practice pass as the return for kickins.
* * * *
The State News, MSC student newspaper, contends its school has
been convicted without evidence. Yet the books of the Spartan Foun-
dation have disclosed over $17,000 disbursed to unidentified sources be-
tween July 1951, and July, 1952, after the club had supposedly dis-
banded. Even Hannah won't tell where that went.
$3800 more was given to football players, including Don Cole-
man and Al Dorow, whose eligibility had run out. The Conference
reasoned if Michigan State could afford to spend that on has-beens,
what must they be giving to those still eligible? Which is a very
reasonable question, yet to be answered by the East Lansing folks, who
usually have the answer to everything.
What did the Spartan Foundation dow ith its money? Did it
buy manure spreaders or milking machines? Did It buy canoes for
the Red Cedar? Pin ball machines for the Union? Until MSC can
show that the Spartan Foundation did NOT use its funds for re-
cruiting athletes, the whole outfit deserves what It has already
received and more too.
Technically, the "probation" means nothing, as any literate
person can read from the news stories. Practically, it means mil-.~
lions in bad publicity, which undoes all the propaganda Michigan
State has worked so hard to spread the past five years,
Hannah has been gallavanting here, there, and everywhere. He
has dabbled in polhtics enough to get himself a federal cabinet post
because heis an "outstanding educator." Michigan State has been sold
as a well-rounded educational institution, both to the nation and the
people of the state of Michigan, when it approximates a glorified foot-
ball factory. -4
Well, that's all down the drain now, and good riddance. Mich-
igan State has no one to blame but itself. And they should have
learned that talk Is not always cheap, even when it comes from
East Lansing.
8 5-84 Win Over Wolverines

Back Coach
Takes Grid
Job at USC
George Ceithaml, for the past
five years a member of the Mich-
igan football coaching staff, an-
nounced yesterday that he had
accepted the position of backfield
coach at the University, of South-
eCeitham tutored the Wolverine
backs for te past four seasons aft-
the jayvee gridders. In his playing
days at Michigan he quarterbacked
the 1940-41-42 squads under H. 0.
"Fritz" Crisler and captained the
team in his senior year.
* * *
THE YOUTHFUL coach said
hhe was leaving Ann Arbor
"ihgreat reluctance since all of
my playing and coaching exper-
ience has been at Michigan." He
professed his debt to such fine
coaches as Crisler and Benny Oos-
first as a player and later as a
coach.'
Following in the tradition of
such ' great Michigan quarter-
backs as Benny Friedman and
Harry Newman, Ceithami es-
tablished his own niche in Wol-
verine football history on the
strength of his expert Isignal
calling and heads-up play.
His greatest game'was aint
Notre Dame in 1942 while hge was
captaining the Maize and Blue
eleven to a seven won, three lost
record. In that contest, generally
regarded as a masterpiece of quar-
terbacking, he led the Wolverines
to a 32-20 victory over the highly-
touted Irish-.
THE GREAT opportunity that
was open to him in California
guiding the Trojan gridders was
further enhanced by the fact that
relatives and frends on the coast.
The exodus of the stocky-ex-
quarterback to Los Angeles leaves
a void in the Wolverines' grid
brain trust. As yet nobody has
been chosen to succeed him, and
head coach Oosterbaan said that
"we're very sorry to lose George,
we'll miss him--he's done a fine
fields for the i ast four season.
Oosterbaan went on to say that
"I know the staff joins me in wish-
ing him well at his now post."

migeam crushed a hapless Mn
nesota squadose 67-2,esterday~ for
victory of the season.
The Wolverines took nine of the
ten events, yielding only in the
440 yard freestyle where Gopher
captain Dave Anderson nipped
Maize and Blue chieftain Wally
Jeffries by less than six inches.
THE HIGH-spirited Michigan
squad experienced its toughest
cdmpetition from the clock in a
pre-meet record-breaking foray
which found no less than 18 of
Matt Mann's disciples engaging
in a mile swim.
The old Yale record for the
event was lowered to 15:34.9
from its original 15:46.8. In the
same race, Yale records for the
500 and 600 yard distances were
also smashed. The new time for
the 500 was 4:16.5, and for the
600 was 5:10.0.
After polishing off the Eli rec-
ords, the Maize and Blue swim-
mers took coach Niels Thorpe's
Gophers completely in stride.
JOHN CHASE, Tom Case and
Johnny flies led off with a handy
victory in the 300 yard medley re-
lay, and from that point on the
only question was the size of the
final score.
Established performers Don
Hill, Ron Gora, Tom Benner
and Captain Jeifries dominated
the 50 and 220 yard freestyles to
put the Wolverine natators com-
pletely out of reach by the

A determined Wolverine hockey
club returned to a contending po-
sition in the MCHL by handing
league-leading North Dakota two
setbacks in "blue chip" contests
this past week-end.
By winning its i'emaining three
can now do no worse tan tie with
Minnesot for the leagu cown
NCAA championships at Colorado
Springs.
MICHIGAN'S chances of win-
ning a playoff spot seemed rather
dim a 'week ago after the puck-
sters dropped a pair of contests to
the Gophers at Minnesota. How-
tirely tdifferent story as a hustlin,
alert playing Wolverine squad
completely dominated play to earn
5-3 and 8-3 victories over the
Sioux of North Dakota.
All three lines played excel-
lent hockey in the twin killings,
with several men doubling on of-
fensive and defensive units. The
newly formed second line of
Pat Cooney, Doug Mullen, and
George Chin accounted for sev-
yen goals while the number one
trio, Doug Philpott, John Mat-
chef ts, and Jim Haas, bagged
the other six. -
Mullen personally aided the
Wolverine cause by blinking the
red light on four occasions and
picking up assists on three other
goals. Captain Matchefts scored
three unassisted goals and also
pitched in to assist on two more.
TELLY MASCARIN, Ron Mar-
tinson, and Bert Dunn, plaigto-
gethr onth ne deehidtlie
accomplished the difficult task of
slowing down the big guns of the
Nodak attack.
AleX McClellan, playing with
a charley horse in his leg, turned
in one of the finest performances

ever witnessed at the Coliseum
in keeping the puck away from
Michigan goal.
Willard Ikola played remark-
able hockey in the nets for the
Wolverines in holding Nodak stars

in the driver's seat with three
games remaining to play while
North Dakota and Denver have al-
ready finished league competition
for the season.
