THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TIMEE THURSDAY, NOVEMX3ER 20, 1952 PAGE TIXIIER I I I Kress Establishes S'M' Yardage Mark Tailback Betters Ortmann' s Record In First Season as Regular Player Ted Kress, star Michigan half- back, has already set one Univer- sity of Michigan grid record and is on his way to establishing another. Kress is the holder of the best first year yardage performance in Michigan history with a total of 1,- 099 yards in eight games. He is only 273 yards short of the best season ever recorded by a Michi- gan player. * * * . ALL-AMERICAN Bob Chappius set the best season record in 1947. His Rose Bowl performance of 279 yards is included in the total of 1,395. With one game to go, Kress needs 18 yards to surpass Chap- plus' nine game total of 1,116. Like Chappius, Kress may get a chance to add to his total in the post sea- son game and therefore eclipse Chappius' overall record. The best Michigan mark for a regular season is out of Kress' reach this year. In 1939, Tom Harmon racked up 1,372 yards in eight games. The best previous first year ground-gaining performance of 1,- 093 yards was set by Chuck Ort- mann in 1948. Kress has already bettered this mark by six yards. He has greatly surpassed the first year mark of Harmon (708 yards' and Chappius (578 yards.) * * * KRESS, RANKING 21st in the nation in total yardage, has achieved his total with a balanced ground and 526 yards through tne attack, gaining 573 yards on the air. He is well ahead of Ted To- por, who has passed for 340 yards, and just as far ahead of the No. 2 runner, freshman Tony Bran- off, who has gained 301 yards. Wolverines Drill Grimly For Big Tilt The Wolverines practiced yes- terday under dark, threatening skies on a cold water-logged field. The somber attitude of the team matched that of the weather. There was not much talk, only de- termination and hard work in evi- dence. * , * WITH Michigan gridders skirt- ing the mud holes on the field, the practice was a stereotype of the previous practice, Bennie Oosterbaan spent a good part of the time drilling his defensive charges in opposi- tion to Buckeye plays, including, of course, pass defense against the highly touted aerial arm of Ohio quarterback John Borton. The offensive platoon again ran through signal drills and worked with the dummies. A slight varia- tion was added with Oosterbaan keeping the team hard at work until it was necessary to turn on the lights, an occurrence which does not happen too often. The injury slate was still blight- ed only by the ankle injury sus- tained by Jim Balog in the Purdue game which leaves him in doubt- ful condition for the game Satur- day; all other players were re- ported in good shape. Sophomore Herb 'Geyer, who made a good showing against Pur- due after Balog's injury, will again be called on to fill the gap this week. Detroit Ties Rangers, 2-2 NEW YORK - (R) - Marcel Pronovost, Detroit's alert, high scoring defenseman, netted twice Wednesday night to help the De- troit Red Wings gain a 2-2 tie against the National Hockey League's-cellar dwelling New York Rangers. * * * BOSTON 2, TORONTO 1 TORONTO - (P)-- Real Chev- refils scored both Boston Bruin goals Wednesday night as the Bruins jolted the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in a National Hockey League game. Number One Team Eyes 24th int Row EAST LANSING--(')-Like a runner weary and leg-sore, Michi- gan State's football team is gath- ering breath for the last hurdle this week. If the Spartans can down Mar- quette in the last game of the sea- son they will have bagged their 24th straight game. * * * THEY WILL also have conclud- ed their second straight year with- out defeat and will have a stran- glehold on the mythical national title. Although the coaches have had a strong temptation to let the squad coast after the nerve- wracking win over Notre Dame, the order has been practice as usual this week. Coach Biggie Munn has even allowed a little cautious scrim- mage. * * * "AT THIS stage of the game," Munn said, "its a hard decision to make. You have to decide whether or not to risk an injury." "Marquette will move in with a record book containing a com- plete analysis of Spartan play so far this season. By DICK LEWIS Thurlow Weed tips the scales at 128 pounds. He stands only five feet, five inches tall. Whenever he runs out on the football field in his padless uniform, everybody laughs. * * * EVERYBODY, that is, except the Ohio State opponent that rea- lizes the full meaning of the small- est grid performer in the Western Conference. For left - footed sophomore Tad Weed represents the most potent kicking force in the Big Ten today. Northwestern found that out a few weeks back when the stout- hearted 19-year-old from Colum- bus booted a 17-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter to pre- sent the Buckeyes with a last ditch 24-21 decision. THIS FEAT was actually child's play for the sawed-off gridder who is often refused entrance to for- eign football stadia because of his §mall size. Earlier in the year he as- tounded the OSU camp by toe- ing the pigskin across the bar 810 times before he flubbed one a couple of feet to the left of the post. Weed blamed himself for the failure to kick 1,000 in a row be- cause he."got too tense and wor- ried under the pressures" as he neared his goal. HE SAID he was under too much pressure as he tried to kick 300 over the goal post in one day. Oddly enough, Weed has al- ready become a hero without playing a second of football, since the clock is stopped during the try for the extra point. OSU's answer to Lou Groza will also become the littlest man ever to win a , football letter at the Columbus institution. * * * WEED CURRENTLY rates as his team's fourth highest scorer WONDROUS WEED: Buckeye Back Boots Big Points with two field goals and 20 out of 22 conversions in eight games Just what has made Weed the automatic kicker that he is? All you have to do is drop in at a Buck football practice any af- ternoon down at Columbus. There are two practice fields for the Ohio State grid forces in their home lair. On one of these, the big boys knock each other all over the turf. On the other, a diminutive fig- ure listed as a quarterback in the official program kicks ball after ball. He doesn't have a manager to chase the football for him. All he does is kick and chase the ball, hour after hour, all by his lonesome.

As a result of this somewhat sen- sational one-man feat, Stollen- werck was named Wednesday as Associated Press back of the week, edging out such brilliant perform- ers as Jimmy Lear of Mississippi, Alan Ameche of Wisconsin, Andy Kozar of Tennessee and Charley Maloy of Holy Cross. Before last Saturday, the pint- sized SMU junior had taken part in only four rushing plays and 10 passes this season. But when Arkansas moved into a 17-0 lead, Coach Rusty Russell called Stollenwerck from the bench. Little Sammy started pitching. Before the game ended, he had connected on 10 of 24 passes for 209 yards and three touchdowns and had kicked three of four con- versions.

Liberty Phone 8020 I Top Backs Clash Saturday as USC, UCLA Decide Champion LOS ANGELES - (R) - Two of the country's best tailbacks, Paul Cameron of UCLA and Jimmy Sears of Southerr California, Wednesday were pronounced ready for full time action when their teams collide in Memorial Coli- seum Saturday in a contest for the Pacific Coast Conference's cham- pionship and Rose Bowl assign- ment. The game will be televised na- tionally and will afford arm chair observers an opportunity to watch an undefeated pair of exponents of the single wing style of foot- ball take each other apart. THE TAILBACKS, operating x from the left halfback position, are the key players in the single wing. Red Sanders, the USLA coach, is a recognized authority on the single wing. Sanders calls his man Cameron the greatest tailback seen, and 167-pound best all-round back in he's ever Sears the the nation. at Whether you want a sandwich and a glass of beer or a real Italian Spaghetti or Ravioli din- ner, the place to go is 119 W.
