Cornell grid coach Lefty James had to go to the post six times be- fore he could produce a winner, and consequently the Big Red football machine has resembled the eternally-moving revolving door in a metropolitan depart- ment store. Scores of aspiring athletes, some green and others experi- enced veterans, have trotted on and off the field in an attempt "to giv their all" for old Cayuga. FOR FIVE games this season they failed. Cornell football reached its lowest ebb in those fateful five, as the New Yorkers could manage only three touch- downs in 300 minutes of compe- tition. Last week in New York City, one player who hadn't played in the five setbacks made his ini- tial grid appearance of the 1952 campaign. As usual, Cornell was the underdog. This time the spread was 12 points in favor of a pass-crazy Columbia elev- en. But with Captain Bill Whelan, a veteran of last year's 20-7 upset over Michigan, back in the line- up, the Big Red rose up for three touchdowns (as many as it scored all season) in the last 13 minutes of a 21-14 triumph. New York sports writers agreed that the Cornell inspirational leader had made the difference. * * * BEFORE the season, Whelan was regarded a cinch for all- Eastern honors. As an effective running halfback and defensive safety,, he was expected to pick up the brunt of the Cornell at- tack which was shattered when 25 lettermen graduated. The 173-pound senior from Lynn, Mass., rushed 47 times for 133 yards in 1951, and com- pleted 3 of 3 passes for 64 yards. As versatile as they come, Whel- an also punted 7 times for 2044 yards (a 35.9 average) and re- turned a kickoff 24 yards. He hit paydirt twice. With grid laurels imminent, old man injury struck the Ithaca campus. Whelan sustained a broken collarbone in a preseason scrimmage. The medicos said that he would be out for the season. Coach Lou All men interested in playing on an independent rugby team are invited to attend a meet- ing at 7:30 next Wednesday night, November 12, at the In- ternational Center. A game with Oberlin may be scheduled. --James Ferguson Little and his Lion gridders knew otherwise when Whelan was back in uniform last Saturday. HE GAVE a much-needed lift to the punchless Ivy Leaguers. He also kept Columbia deep in its own territory during the entire second half with his accurate boots. Two Whelan kicks travelled a full 60 yards. Cornell's first semblance of an attack all season plus Whelan's kicking featured the victory drive.

Early in the first pe- riod, quarterback Herb Bool loft- ed a 19-yard pass to the talented halfback who took it on the run and danced into the endazone. A backfield in motion penalty nulli- fled that score. BUT WITH Whelan's boots booming, Columbia couldn't ad- vance beyond its own 40 until the last minutes of the second half. The Lions would have been deeper in the hole had not three boots by the Big Red captain rolled into the end zone after doing a shim- my inches from the goal line. In addition to his punting, Whelan found the range on one toss in one attempt for 35 yards He plowed through the Colum- bia line for 42 yards on 18 tries. If you drop down to the Mich- igan dressing room at Yost Field House, you'll see a life-size por- trait of Whelan staring you right in the face. He's number one on the Wolver- ine wanted list, and just his pres- ence in Ann Arbor tomorrow should add plenty to the Cornell football awakening. Grid Squads Fimsh Drill Preparations By The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN, ILL. - Illinois polished off for its visit to Iowa Saturday with a passing drill and signal review. The Illini traveling squad which leaves for Iowa City Friday in- cluded tackle Bernie Elsner, pre- viously declared out of action be- cause of an injured back. EAST LANSING, MICR:-Three regulars were missing as Michigan State took off for its football date with Indiana at Bloomington Sat- urday. Left behind were right half Vince Pisano, utility back Gene Lekenta and end Ellis Duckett. All have injuries. * s * COLUMBUS, O. - Ohio State University's football squad polish- ed off its offensive mechanism in preparation for Saturday's game with the University of Pittsburgh here Saturday. Except for Doug Goodsell's head injuries, the minor ailments of the Buckeyes had cleared up. * - - MADISON, WIS.-A high-spirit- ed gang of Wisconsin Badgers hustled through their final heavy workout before meeting North- western here Saturday. * ~ * Wolverine 's Team Ready For Cornell Wolverine gridders appeared to be in nearly top physical condi- tion yesterday as Coach Bennie Oosterbaan sent his squad through the final heavy workout for Saturday's intersectional clash with Cornell. Both tailback Ted Kress and Ron Williams, defensive guard, are fully recovered from sprained ankles suffered in last week's Il- linois battle, leaving halfback Tom Witherspoon, with a similar injury, as the only doubtful Mich- igan starter AFTER TWO DAYS of hard scrimmaging yesterday's drills re- verted to the customary no-con- tact type. The junior-varsity ran through a series of Cornell plays as the defensive platoon put the finishing touches on their plans to halt the Big Red. Kicking drills were cut short by the wintry blast that whis- tled around Yost Field House, but Oosterbaan raced the of- fensive platoons through a spir- ited running and passing drill in spite of the bitter cold. The Wolverines will wind up their preparations with a short workout this afternoon. * * * CORNELL COACH Lefty James, whose team left by train last night for Ann Arbor, called off a scheduled practice because of the early departure time. The 41-man squad will hold a brief drill in Michigan Stadium this afternoon. The only casualty reported among the Big Red is tackle Don Kennedy, who suffered a back injury in Cornell's 21-14 upset of Columbia last week. A crowd of 50,000 is expected Saturday to see Michigan attempt to break a six-game losing streak against non-conference op- ponents. ThenWolverines can boast of only one victory outside the Big Ten since 1949 season. They whipped Dartmouth 27-7 in their second start of the 1950 cam- paign but since then they have been dumped by Army, in 1950, Michigan State, Stanford, and Cornell last year, and the Spart- ans and Stanford this season.
