FRiDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THRER I HI JINKS .. by John Jenks ROSS, LYNCH INJURED: Wolverines To Miss Cross-Country Meet I THE WAY THE MOVIES tell it, the average college athlete is sort of a mystical fellow who spends most of his time riding around in snazzy convertibles for the benefit of his adoring fans, the majority of which are prototypes of Marilyn Monroe. Undoubtedly there are some athletic Utopias where this type of situation approaches reality, but in the greater number of cases such a depictment conveys the wrong impression about the campus muscle men. Generally speaking, Gus Fan lingers under the impression that participating in intercollegiate sports is all peaches and cream. He figures that playing on a team consists of Saturday's game and Sunday's headlines. If Gus could spend a week or so associating with anyone "out" for a varsity sport, he would fast realize that his former impres- sion was slightly off base. Every Saturday game means hours of weekday practice, hours that could just as well be spent in study, in the rack, or in plain loafing. Then, too, not everybody makes the headlines. For every star who gets some ink, there are 20 others whose activities go almost unnoticed by everyone except their teammates, coaches and friends. Kinyon's Words of Wisdom .. KINYON, a former Wolverine guard, hit the nail on the head when he complained: "Nobody knows how much time an athlete puts into his sport. When I'm out for football I have to prac- tice at least two hours a day and go to a chalk talk or watch movies twice a week, so that by the time I get around to studying I can hardly keep my eyes open." But football isn't the only time-consumer among the inter- collegiate athletic pastimes. Track is even more demanding, in- as-much as it is a year around affair. The cindermen devote many hours to running 'round and 'round Yost Field House for a few minutes of competition in an occasional track meet. Basketball, baseball, hockey-they're all the same. You can't get by without putting in a whale of a lot of time. The next time you see Joe Star the center of attraction, don't begrudge him his success. He's earned it. By ED SMITH Michigan will not run in this mornings Western Conference cross-country meet in Chicago. Although the Wolverines do not run cross-country as a varsity sport, the harriers usually enter the Big Ten event as preparation for the indoor and outdoor track campaigns. . * * ORIGINALLY Coach Don Can- ham had planned on entering the Maize and Blue in the meet, but adverse breaks have made for a change in his plans.

It appears that this will be the smallest Con- ference meet in many years. * * * BESIDES Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, Illinois, and Northwestern are definitely not entering teams. The athletic department ad- vises all students to hold on to their season ticket stubs un- til after this Saturday's Michi- gan-Purdue game is over, so that proper seat locations may be claimed during the game. -Don Weir While the Golden Gophers from Minnesota are doubtful partici- pants. At present the Spartans are rated the favorite to annex the crown, with Indiana considered their strongest opposition. Iowa and Wisconsin, the other two def- mite starters, are rated as out- side threats. Individual honors probably will fall to Michigan State's Captain Jim Kepford or Iowa's Ted Wheel- er. Another Hawkeye, Rich Fergu- son, is also conceded a chance. M' Finishes Final Drills For Purdue It was cold on the sidelines, but the Wolverines were hot on the field as they ran through their final drill in preparation for the all-important clash with Purdue. COACH BEN Oosterbaan stress- ed defense as the Wolverines rap- ped up practice. The defensive platoon spent the afternoon facing the second stringers, who ran out of Pur- due's version of the "T." Ray Kenaga, playing Dale Samuels spot, kept the pass defenders busy watching Boilermaker pass paterns. The spirited Wolverine gridders were at practice till long after darkness forced use of the lights. IN ANTICIPATION of a high scoring battle, Russ Rescorla and Dunc McDonald spent part of the afternoon practicing extra point placements. They alternated in the holding and kicking slots. Bill Billings was occupied in practicing long booming punts, while Don Oldham, Lowell Perry, and Tony Branoff practiced re- turning them. As usual there will be no prac- tice this afternoon. The gridders will get their customary pre-game layoff. BUT WITH the Big Ten as unpredictable as ever in the Wolverines, Purdue and consin could all wind up 4-1-1 slates.

The last time that something like this happened was in 1931 when Michigan, Northwestern and Purdue tied for the league lead. race 1952, Wis- with Three Team Tie Possible In Wild Big Ten Scramble Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's title contenders, with a win over the league-leading Boilermakers and a tie with erratic Ohior State, would attain the mnagic standoff figure and an .800 per- centage to boot. If Purdue, in turn, drops one to the Wolverines and goes on to take Indiana into camp, it, too, will boast a 4-1-1 record. WISCONSIN, to make the three- way scramble a reality, must lose to Indiana and tie Minnesota or vice-versa. Minnesota is the only other squad with a shot at the league bunting. The Golden Gophers would have to take their final scrap from Wisconsin to vault to the top spot. Speaking of standoffs, two-way ties have been abundant in con- ference grid history. No less than six times have two teams knotted for the number one position. The last time this oc- curred was in 1949 when Ohio State played even-steven with the Wolverines and went on to upset California, 17-14, in the Rose Bowl.

WILFORD SMITH, a Chicago Tribune sportswriter, has come up with this novel suggestion: "If and when Michigan wins the Big Ten crown, it should reject the Rose Bowl bid in favor of neighboring Michigan State." Smith gives as his reason for the proposal the fact that the Spartans are the strongest team in the Big Ten and the only squad that could possibly maintain the conference prestiege in the bowl this year. He also points out that every contender except Purdue has been had by a West Coast team and that Michigan has gone before. In the event of a tie, this proposal would solve all the problems of selecting a representative and would prevent bad feelings from developing among the candidates. But if one team wins it outright, be it Michigan or anybody else, that team should go west if it so desires. Both players and students alike would enjoy a Rose Bowl trip, and it would be frustrating, to say the least, if an earned journey were taken away by vote. Besides, State will probably go next year anyhow. "Rugby Is A Better Game" ... RBMEMBER AL JACKSON'S article, "Too Much Football," which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly a year ago? The former Michigan guard has come out with another bit entitled, "Rugby Is A Better Game," which appears in the same magazine. Jackson, now at Oxford, plays on an English aggregation of some kind. How about this for going out on a limb? Yours truly predicts that Michigan will beat Purdue, but will let down after the big win and get knocked off by Ohio State. It's something to watch for.
