A capacity throng of 78,677 is expected to crowd into the Ohio Stadium for the 2 p.m. kickoff. * * * * THE STAKES are high for both squads. Michigan has a chance for its fifth Western Conference title in six years and a possible Rose Bowl bid hanging in the balance. The Buckeyes are out to end a seven year win famine in the series with Michigan. Ohio State fans have to look back to 1944 to see victory. AN OHIO VICTORY today would give the Bucks a 5-2 Confer- ence record and move them over Michigan in the final standings. It would also serve to quiet High Street yelps for Woody Hayes' coach- ing scalp. On the other hand, a triumph for the Maize and Blue would cinch them at least a tie for the Big Ten football championship. Should Minnesota upend Wisconsin, a Michigan victory would yield an undisputed Big Ten crown and clear sailing to Pasadena. The Wolverine gridders enter the contest a one-point favorite despite Ohio's convincing 27-7 defeat of Illinois last weekend. In tra- ditional battles of this kind previous records carry little weight, and Michigan Coach Ben Oosterbaan has been warning against over con- fidence all week. CARRYING THE BRUNT of OSU hopes will be the potent of- fense which has rolled up an average rushing total of 357.7 yards per game, second only to Wisconsin in the Big Ten. Directingthe Buckeye attack is so'phomore quarterback John- ny Borton who runs and passes from any and all variations of the "T." Last Saturday against Illinois Borton passed for touchdowns of six and 37 yards to end Dean Dugger. Other standouts in the OSU offense are halfbacks Fred Bruney and Bob Watkins, and piledriving fullback John Hlay. * * * * THE OFFENSIVE Ohio State forward wall averages well over 200 pounds. Ends Bob Joslin and Bob Grimes at 187 and 198 respectively are the only starting linemen under that mark. Tackles Jim Hietikko and George Jacoby, both two-way performers, top 220. Attacking guards Mike Takacs and Jim Reichenbach also play both offense and defense and move with surprising speed for such weight. Defensively the Bucks rely heavily on the linebacking capa- bilities of veteran Tony Curcillo and Skip Doyle. Other defensive stalwarts are Bruney and Marts Beekley at halfback, Bill Vav- roch at tackle, and ends John Manyak and Dick Anderson. With the possible exception of defensive tackle Jim Balog, the Wolverines came through the bruising battle with Purdue without dis- abling injury. Michigan trainer Jim Hunt still has hopes of getting the brawny hole-opener in shape by game time. Sophomore Herb Geyer stands ready to fill in if needed.

LXIII, No. 54 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22 ,1952 FOUR PAGES TED TOPOR . offensive quarterback William Green, AFL ChiefDieS COSHOCTON, O.-(R)-William Green, who led and spoke for 13 million American workers in the American Federation of Labor over nearly three decades, died yesterday. The AFL president, only the second leader the AFL has had, was 81. Green's death followed by only 12 days that of Philip Murray, president of the rival CIO. Muriay died Nov. 9 in San Francisco. DEATH CAME to Green in a red brick home nearly in the center - of the Eastern Ohio town from BEN PEDERSON ... offensive tackle State Rejects SenateRequest WASHINGTON--P)-A Senate committee yesterday asked. that the official certification of Rep. Charles E. Potter as senator from Michigan be delayed, and state of- ficials promptly rejected the re- quest. Potter, a Republican, defeated Democratic Sen. Blair Moody in the Nov. 4 election. The official canvass put his margin at 45,936 votes. The Senate elections sub- committee has been asked to in- vestigate what state Democratic Chairman Neil Staebler termed many irregularities in the count. The subcommittee has sent in- vestigators into Michigan, and Chairman Hennings (D-Mo) said the group decided to ask that of- ficial notice of Potter's election be held up pending completion of a preliminary probe. The election was certified Fri- day by the State Board of Can- vass, but Hennings said official notice had not yet been dispatched to the Senate. At Lansing, D. Hale Brake, acting chairman of the board, rejected the request. Brake said the state had com- pleted all requirements toward cer- tifying Potter as senator. He said the board saw no reason to change its mind. which he rose to labor fame from his job as a coal miner. The family said a heart ail- ment caused the aged labor lead- er's death. Coshocton generally was not surprised. Its citizens knew "Bill" Green came home an ill man early in October,nalthough the family tried to minimize the seriousness of his physical decline. But word leaked out. Green went to Coshocton Memorial Hospital for two weeks, then returned home. Two weeks ago the family installed a small elevator to en- able him to come downstairs. He spent most of his time in bed and he didn't emerge from the house to take a walk through the streets in which he grew up. * *, * GREEN'S career followed the time-hallowed American tradition. A coal miner and son of a coal miner, Green was born in Cosh- octon March 3, 1873. By the time he was 18 he was a full-fledged miner. When Samuel Gompers died in 1924, the AFL picked the earnest and determined native of Coshoc- ton, by then a vice president as his replacement in the president's job. Green put in 28 years at the job. Years later, the UMW, led by John L. Lewis, walked out of the AFL and started the Congress of Industrial Organizations with which Green fought a running or- ganization battle over the years. Lewis later led his miners out of CIO ranks but never back into the AFL fold under Green.

Vishin- sky may give the official stand next week. If the Russians reject the plan Western diplomats will have to shelve it and take up other pro- posals in an effort to find a way out. Menon received the first Mos- cow reaction with apparent gloom. He also said he would have to ex- amine the conditions being laid down by the Western Allies to see if they "poison the roots" of his proposal before he could say whether he would accept them.
