MMM" (THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE SPORTS SLANTS ... By Ed Whipple Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi Keep Perfect Grid Records Sabuco's Four Touchdown Passes Give Phi Delts 27-0 Victory Over Theta Xi SOME STRANGE (but interesting) literature turns up around the, sports desk. This one, with a clipping scotch-taped to it, mater- ialized yesterday from an anonymous correspondent in Virginia: "The attached clipping was found among the 'Letters to the Edi- tor' of the Washington (D.C.) Daily News of 2 October 1952. 'Dear Ev: 'I have just seen Penn's 1953 schedule and as an old Penn myself, I'm shocked and disillusioned. Apparently, the Midwesterner who somehow became our university president has decreed that Penn's football needs em- phasis, and should play teams from the land-grant schools. 'It always seemed to me that Penn's football was emphasized too much. But a glance to the future shows our proud old school playing such unlettered institutions as Vanderbilt, Penn State, California, Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. There are contests with Army and Navy in between, and, of course, Cornell. 'Gentlemen's Schools . . FRANKLY, I'D FEEL a lot better if Penn would take her 11 best foot- ball players to Franklin Field to play the best 11 men from our traditional rivals-Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia; the service schools, Cornell, and such other gentlemen's schools of the East as the schedule permits. 'However, Mr. Stassen appears to seek games with colleges field- ing professional teams, and I understand he's seeing to it that Penn's squad will contain sufficient professionals to hold their own with the other gladiators. 'I think Penn should either junk this scheme-along with its political president and his hired hands-or should go frankly professional, resign from the Ivy League, and enter a league with Maryland, Pitt, Penn State, Villanova and similarly shoddy schools. 'I'd hate to see the latter happen, but it would at least be the honest thing to do.-J.K.'" Appears as how "old Penn himself J.K." don't have much truck for us Midwesterners who play football professional-like. Not only that, but he's misinformed on at least three points. About this busi- ness of land-grant schools, o1' J.K. apparently has confused Michigan with the up-state agricultural annex. 'Fantas y in .Fumble' . SECOND, IF West Point is a "gentleman's school," it must have got that way just since the 90-odd cadets departed by request for practicing the Gentlemanly Art of Cheating on Exams. Third, any- one who watched last Saturday's television performance "Fantasy in Fumble" from Palo Alto would have to chortle at J.K.'s charge of pro- fessionalism. That production didn't look too professional. Being an undergrad at an "unlettered institution," I'm not sure what the phrase means. We've been had, 12-8, if it means "Pennsylvania" has more letters than "Michigan." I do know Michigan has more alumni listed in Who's Who In America than Penn does. Not bad, for a "shoddy school." It's a crying shame Easterners like J.K. won't get it through their craniums a school can promote a solid sports program and main- tain some academic respectability at the same time. By JIM DYGERT Four touchdown passes by Gil Sabuco gave Phi Delta Theta a 27-0 triumph over Theta Xi in I-M football yesterday. Sabuco passed twice to Don MacLaren for tallies and once to Duke Layland and Jan Wagenka. Sabuco's deadly passing also ac- counted for three extra points as the Phi Delts remained undefeat- ed in general fraternity play. IN ANOTHER runaway, the elu- sive running of Jack Speyer and Gene Curtis enabled Tau Delta Phi to trounce Kappa Nu, 30-0. Building up a halftime lead of 21-0 on three touchdown runs, one covering 40 yards, the Tau Delts coaster to victory on sharp defen- sive play. Curtis, who also accounted for an extra point, and Speyer were the sparkplugs of an impres- sive Tau Delt team. The final two points of the game were scored by Sam Kriegman, who caught a Kappa Nu back behind his own goal line on the last play of the game. Pi Lambda Phi downed Chi Psi, 12-0, on two passes from Jerry Rovner to Jerry Hirsch in the end zone. The first touchdown was set up by a 40-yard pass from Rovner to Sid Amster that put the ball on the one-yard line. The Pi Lams dominated the entire game, scor- ing a touchdown in each half. * * * IN A BIZARRE contest, Phi Gamma Delta bested Tau Kappa Epsilon, 19-6. The first half was played on a 40-yard field, although play covered the regulation 60 yards in the second half. Jack Stumpfig passed to Howard Liver- ance for two tallies and Joe Mid- dleton for one. John Nicita scored once for TKE. Alpha Sigma Phi trounced Delta Chi, 27-0, with Dave Wieg- el in the driver's seat. Wiegel tossed four touchdown passes, DID YOU KNOW ... that in 1908 Michigan withdrew from the Western Conference in protest against "retroactive provisions" of certain Conference enactments. two to Al Miller and one each to John Worthington and Art Cox. Sigma Chi captured its second straight victory by winning over Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 14-0. Bob Littleson and Bill Ammerman each scored a touchdown for Sigma Chi. In other games yesterday Lam- bda Chi Alpha blanked Acacia, Ray Team' Don Hurst, '53 Ed., captain of the Michigan cheerleaders, an- nounced the names of the men who will sparkplug the Wolver- ine cheering section during the present football season. In addition to Hurst and the new assistant head cheerleader Lee Krumbholz, '54 Ed., the roster includes Duncan Erley, Grad., the retiring assistant head cheerleader; Larry Price, '53 Ed., returning letterman; Herb Mueller, '54 L.S.&A.; Dave Edwards, '55 E.; Frank Adams, '55 E.; and Bill Winkler, '55 Ed. 13-0, Phi Kappa Psi edged Theta Chi in overtime, 1-0, and Phi Kappa Tau won on forfeit from Trigon, as did Theta Delta Chi from Delta Kappa Epsilon. Betzig Sets il' Matmien To Practice With the seasons' opener still three months off, the University of Michigan wrestling team is already starting to round into shape. Now in its second week of prac- tice, the matmen under the tutel- ege of assistant Coach Bob Betzig are working hard to better last years' second place finish in the Big Ten. * * * , FORTY MEN are out and both Betzig and Head Coach Cliff Keen would like very much to see more candidates, whether or not they have had grappling experience.] Sorely needed is a replacement for Larry Nelson at 123 pounds and' there are also several openings in the heavier divisions. A strong nucleus returns from last years team, with the major- ity of the returnees filling in the 137 and 147 pound divisions. Joe Scandura, Andy Kaul, Jack Cole and Jack Gallon are all expected to see action in these weight classes. Both of Michigans Conference champions, 130 pounder Snip Nal- an and light heavyweight .Dick O'Shaughnessy return to the wrestling wars this year. O'Shaughnessy, the first-string of- fensive center on the WolverineI grid squad might possibly move up to the heavyweight division with Ron Horne, Jim Ward or Harmon Nine wrestling in his old spot. I MILES LEE, aggressive 157- pounder who fought his way to third place in the NCAA wrestlingf championships last year, returns to his old spot again this season. The popular junior was hampered by injuries last season and big things are expected of him in 1953. The big hole remains at 167 pounds where last year's captain, Bud Holcombe, wrestled last year. Holcombe was an inspi- rational leader and a great com- petitor and will be sorely missed. Harold Holt, Bronson Rumsey and Ernie Graf, a native of Ann Arbor are all vying for the vacated spot and all have shown promise in early workouts. As was the case last year, Mich- igan State, Illinois and Indiana will furnish the major part of the Wolverines' opposition in Confer- ence circles as the Illini seek to repeat as champs and the Spart- ans shape up as pre-season fa- vorites. 'Wings Face NY Rangers In First Tilt DETROIT (P)--The Detroit Red Wings' famous Abel-Lindsay-Howe forward line will be only two- thirds intact when the Wings open defense of their National Hockey League championship against the New York Rangers tonight. In the key center spot on the No. 1 line will be Reg Sinclair, a Ranger forward last year. HE'LL be quite a stranger be- tween the veteran Gordie Howe and Ted Linsay. because he'll be taking the place of reliable old Sid Abel, a fixure at center ice here as long as most fans can re- member. Abel left the Wings last win- ter after 12 years to become coach of the Chicago Black Hawks. He played more games at forward than any other play- er in Detroit history. Manager Jack Adams and Coach Tommy Ivan decided to sandwich Sinclair between Howe and Lind- say on the so-called "production line" even though he scored only 30 points for New York last sea- son. The strategy was to keep to- gether the Wing's second and third line. RED KELLY, Bob Goldham and Marcel Pronovost will head up the Wings' defense and agile Terry Sawchuck will beindthe goaly The only other Detroit regu- lar who will be missing besides Abel will be defenseman Leo Reise, who went to the Rangers in the Sinclair deal. The injury jinx has hit the Rangers early. Chuck Rayner, their seasoned goalie, has not re- covered fully from a leg injury and probably will be supplanted in the nets by Lorne "Gump" Wor- sley, brought up from their Sas- katoon Farm Club. Pass defense was still the major concern of the Wolverines yester- day as they feverishly sought to develop a workable meatus of foil- ing Indiana's aerial wizard, Lou D'Achille. Russ Rescorla, the extra-point- kicking fullback from Grand Ha- ven, has been given intensive drill at the defensive right halfback spot vacated temporarily due to Frank Howell's injury. * * * RESCORLA occupied the posi- tion in the Stanford game and fa- vorably impressed the coaches with his performance. The stub- born leg injury which has side- lined Howell shows little sign of abating before Saturday, but there is an outside chance that the speedy senior might see some ac- tion. Dave Tinkham has been work- ing at the other defensive half- back along with Ed Hickey and Tony Branoff. None of the three is over 5' 10", but all are fast, which is a major requisite for the defensive backfield. Special attention has been giv- en to Indiana's pass patterns, which form the backbone of the Hoosier attack. D'Achille likes to pass, as isaevidenced by his 101 attempts last season. IT WILL BE up to the Maize and Blue secondary to stop the pass-happy Pennsylvanian. D'Ach- ille hails from Beaver Falls, deep in the heart of the talent beds of Western Pennsylvania which have spawned so many of college foot- ball's greatest performers. Defensive line drills occupied a good portion of yesterday's rokout. Jack Blott will be try- ing to strengthen a forward wall which was unusually porous at times in the game against Stan- ford. The Hoosiers' will again present their line splitting fullback Gene Gedman to the Michigan Stadium audience. Gedman is double trou- ble, sincehhe also catches passes- leading the squad in receptions in 1951. THE INJURY jinx still hangs gloomily over Ferry Field. Tom Witherspoon, Lowell Perry and Thad Stanford are slowly rounding into shape for Saturday's fracus. Captain Merritt Green was re- sponding slowly to treatment of a turned ankle incurred in Tues- day's session. ACHILLES' HEEL: '1M' Pass Defense Still Poses Problem f W Some attention was also given to the offense during yesterday's practice. Bob Hurley and Fred Baer continued to alternate at the fullback post, while tne Teds, Kress and Topor flashed their brilliance both in the air and on the ground. Topor's loss of the excess pound- age which he carried last autumn has made a whale of a difference in his play at luarterback. He is much faster than he was last year, and still every bit as devas- tating a blocker. ive him comfort with mmmmm U UNDERWEAR Jockey Midway for Everyday Wear..... $1.50 Jockey Short for $.20 Active Sport......I.. .

By DICK LEWIS A five foot, eight inch Hoosier will be hurling giant-sized aerial bombs when invading Indiana makes its annual pilgrimage to Ann Arbor this Saturday. The little fellow with the rifle- like left arm is versatile Lou D'Achille, Indiana quarterback who kept his team out of the Big Ten cellar the last two seasons and set numerous records in the process. * * * WHILE HIS CLUB finished eighth in the conference in 1951 and last in 1950, D'Achille filled the air with the amazing total of 233 passes, of which 109 were com- plete for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns. In two years and one game of conference play, the venerable southpaw from Beaver Falls, Pa., has had only five tosses inter- cepted. D'Achille first gained national prominence two seasons ago when as a sophomore he set all kinds of records including the Western Conference mark for a completed pass play. * * * THIS WAS an eleven-yard toss to halfback Bob Robertson Who streaked for 80 more yards and a touchdown against Iowa. Little Louie attempted 38 passes against OSU in 1950 and completed 20 for 232 yards) to tie the league high established by Northwestern's Otto Graham, now with the professional Cleve- land Browns. Also in D'Achille's record book is the total offense standard of 49, which equalled the mark set by Hoosier Bob Hoernschemeyer. . * . ALTHOUGH Michigan held D'Achille to two completions in seven attempts last year, the 173- pound tosser ranked as fourth best in the Big Ten. In six loop games he found the range on 23 of 43 throws for 308 yards and three touchdowns. On the full season, D'Achille completed 33 of 70 for 432 yards and four six pointers. He paced the Hoosier in total offense with 521 yards gained in 111 plays for a 4.7 average. Indiana's all-time passer (he completed 76 in 1950), who also does the extra-point kicking for the Bloomington eleven, has taken up in the past two weeks where he left off two years ago. * * * WHILE THE Hoosiers were fall- ing to OSU and taking Iowa into camp, D'Achille hit his receivers 12 times out of 21 attempts for 234 yards and two touchdowns.
