FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TIMEE I U i SPORTS SLANTS, . ..By Ed Whipple I' TBETTER HADN'T SNOW. Anything else can happen (and prob- ably will), but it better not snow tomorrow. Because it snowed two years ago, and one such experience is plenty for even a St. Bernard in red flannels. Ask anyone who was there. As numbed Michigan supporters struggled up to the Ohio Stadium through that blizzard, the gate keeper didn't bother to collect ticket stubs. "Ho, ho," he choked between blasts of snow. "There ain't gonna be any football game here today." Actually there was no sense to staying, because if Illinois beat Northwestern, the Illini would have the championship and a Rose Bowl trip no matter what happened in Columbus. What's more, the Wildcats weren't conceded a chance. But in went the fans anyway. The least uncomfortable person in the Stadium was the ingenious guy who wore a long cardboard box over his head. He navigated by a tiny slit in front. The rest of the 50,000 who eventually straggled in sat shivering like a tribe of 'monkeys in an an ice house. And there was a football game, in spite of periodic expeditions by managers up and down the sidelines to sweep the snow off the yardlines and outside boundaries. It was really FOOT-ball, too. Ohio's Vic Janowicz and Michigan's Chuck Ortmann punted 45 times be- tween them-a Conference record. Snow and Roses ... THE WOLVERINES' Tony Momsen blocked one punt for a safety and another for a touchdown. Michigan won, 9-3, without com- pleting a pass or making a first down. The Wolverines gained 27 yards rushing. But the biggest phenomenon was the announcement of Northwest- ern's 14-7 defeat of Illinois. The impossible had happened. Bennie } Oosterbaan's team had come from rags to riches-from snow bowl to Rose Bowl, and won the undisputed Conference championship to boot. And if the cast will only follow its script, the stage is set to- morrow for a repeat of that performance the Big Ten put on two Novembers ago. Only this time Minnesota has to upset Wisconsin while Michigan beats Ohio State in order for the Wolverines to win the title all alone. How close can a league race get? Michigan and Wisconsin are tied for the Big Ten lead with four victories and one defeat. Yet if either loses tomorrow it will probably wind up fourth in the final standings. I Minnesota has only a loss and a half (tie counts half game won, half lost), as does Purdue. Ohio State has lost twice, but the Bucks play seven Conference games. Hence they can move ahead of the Wol- verines by winning. Tough Decision.. . . TO MAKE IT tighter still, statistics show that Michigan is first defensively in Conference games and third on offense. Wisconsin is first on offense, and third on defense. And who ranks second in both offense and defense? None other than the pesky Buckeyes, al- though they're fifth in the standings. No wonder Big Ten athletic directors are wishing for an un- disputed champ. If Michigan and Wisconsin tie for the title, it's any- body's guess who will get the Rose Bowl bid. The athletic directors will vote, regardless of what happens tomorrow, and the results will be out at noon (CST) Monday. If there is not tie, the vote is a mere formality. If there's a deadlock, the procedure of listing "the three most representative teams" in order will tell the story. That result de. pends wholly on what happens tomorrow in'Columbus, Madison, and Los Angeles, where UCLA and Southern California, both unbeaten, clash for the Pacific Coast Conference title. No one around Ferry Field will publicly give out with any ideas on the Rose Bowl. Said Oosterbaan, "We're just trying to win a foot- ball game."I But the stage is set, and anything can happen. Only it better hadn't snow. Sauer Gets National League's uMost Valuable Player Award 'M', Badgers Top Big Ten In Statistics Ameche, Kress Rushing Leaders Michigan and Wisconsin, tied for the Big Ten lead, head into Saturday's vital contests as the Conference leaders in defense and offense respectively. The Badgers, aside from being tops in total yardage, first downs, and points also have the League's rushing leader in Alan Ameche. The Wisconsin fullback has gained close to five yards per try in the process of running for a total of 596 yards during the season. AMECHE LEADS Michigan's Ted Kress by 150 yards although the Wolverine junior has averaged more yards per carry. Kress is also third in total offense behind Mlini Tommy O'Connell and Dick Thomas of Northwestern. In the passing department, Dale Samuels, Purdue's ace is currently top ranked, having completed better than 60 per- cent of his attempts. Right be- hind Samuels is O'Connell, who has gained the most yardage via the air route, 1138., The passer in third place will be of interest to Michigan fans as he is Ohio State's top notch quarter- back, John Borton. Borton, who will have to be stopped by the Maize and Blue if Michigan is to have a chance for the Rose Bowl, is also fourth in total offense, a scant four yards behind Ted Kress. * * * THE BEST that Michigan has in the passing department is Kress, only rated seventh despite the fact that he has completed 53 of his tosses. Michigan has permitted but 11.8 points per conference con- test to rate as the best defensive outfit in the Big Ten. The Wol- verines have permitted the few- est yards per try in both rush- ing and passing in spite of the fact that they are supposed to have a poor pass defense. In Ohio State, however, Bennie Oosterbaan's eleven will be meet- ing the best balanced team in the Conference, statistically speaking at least. The Buckeyes are second both offensively and defensively even though they are in fifth place in the league standings. IN PREPARATION for the im- portant meeting with the Buckeyes at Columbus, Michigan ran through its final full scale drill of the regular season. After a long defensive session, Coach Benny Oosterbaan ordered non-contact signal drills to put a final polish on the Wolverines precision and tim- ing. The forty-man traveling squad will leave Ann Arbor today at four p.m., traveling to Toledo where it will spend the night. The team will entrain for Columbus Saturday morning and arrive at the Buckeye stadium just before game time. LAST DAY Pan Hellenic Ball pictures on display Michigan League 10-2 1-5 IT'S DON DUGGER VS. DEAN DUGGER ON SATURDAY GRID SELECTIONS GAMES OF THE WEEK Consensus Selections (80-34) Appear in Capitals By DAVE LIVINGSTON "Don Dugger is too smallto ever play Big Ten football." That's what the Ohio State coaching staff thought four years ago, so Don came to Michigan. But when the cleats stop pound- ing tomorrow afternoon in Col- umbus it's a pretty sure bet that no matter who wins, Buckeye coach Woody Hayes will wish he had had two Duggers in his line, instead of one. FOR, WHILE sophomore Dean Dugger is now holding down a spot at end for the Bucks his older brother has become one of the most respected linemen in the conference. The scrappy Wolverine guard anchors the center of a Michi- gan forward wall that ranks with the best defensive units in the country. At 180 pounds, 5' 10", Don is comparatively small for a line- man in these days of hulking 200- pounders. BUT THE Michigan senior makes up for his "diminutive" size with a drive and determination that has won him this season the plaudits of such grid mentors as Ray Eliot of Illinois and Cornell coach Lefty James. Football comes naturally to the Buckeye and Wolverine Dug- gers. Their older brother, Jack, was no less than an. All-Ameri- can as an end at Ohio State in 1944, going on to play pro-ball with the Detroit Lions and Chi- cago Bears, Buckeyes Jack and Dean are both well over six feet tall and just as far over 200 pounds, so that Don has to look up to both of them-everywhere but on the gridiron, that is. LAST WEEK the Wolverine sparkplug played a big part in keeping Michigan's Big Ten title chances alive. With Purdue leading the Maize and Blue 7-0 in the first quarter and threatening again on the Wolverine 16 yard line, Dugger crashed through the line and smeared quarterback Dale Samuels for a nine yard loss before he could get one of his deadly passes away. From that moment the Boiler- maker offense stalled after they were forced to settle for a field goal on that drive. * * * BROTHER DEAN warmed up for tomorrow's vital clash by scor- ing the first two touchdowns of his collegiate career against Illi- nois last Saturday. He nabbed scoring tosses of six and 37 yards from Buckeye hurler John Borton. The OSU outcast, Don, got his big chance as a Wolverine last year when Dick Beison was in- jured in the fourth game of the FAMILY FEUD: Dugger Brothers To Clash Tomorrow season. Dugger took over his guard spot and has been a reg- ular ever since. Last spring he was runner-up for the Meyer J. Morton trophy, wan by Gene Knutson, which is awarded to the most improved player in spring practice. IN NIGH SCHOOL Dugger won letters at center his freshman and sophomore years at Lima Central, in Ohio. His last couple years he held a tackle position for Stone- wall Jackson High in Charleston, W. Va., where Dean was a team- mate as a freshman and sopho- more. Tomorrow afternoon, the Dug- ger brothers will be glaring at each other from opposite sides of the line. Don's fondest hope (next to whipping the Buckeyes, of course,) is for Dean to run an "end-around" play, so he can show him how they tackle at Michigan. There's one Dugger that didn't go to Ohio State, but Buckeye partisans will know he's around this Saturday. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

The long ball won for Ham- merin' Hank whose total of 37 home runs and 121 runs batted in offset his .270 batting average. Despite a disastrous September a slump, Sauer's slugging feats were judged more valuable to the Cubs than Roberts' job of winning 28 games for the Phils and Black's brilliant relief work for the pen- nant-winning Dodgers. IN FACT, it was the first time since 1938 that the most valuable players in both leagues came from teams that did not win the pen- nant. Bobby Shantz of the Phila- delphia A's was named the Amer- ican's MVP winner last week. It was a tight fit among the three leaders in the National in both first place votes from the 24-man committee of the Base- ball Writers Association and the point total. Sauer eked out a 15-point mar- gin with 226 points, to Roberts' 211 and Black's 208.
