SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Badgers Meet Gophers _ In Top Big Ten Action By DICK LEWIS When Michigan rooters huddle in the Buckeye Stadium stands to- day, they'll have their fingers crossed, their prayers said, and their heads facing West where Wisconsin encounters upset-mind- ed Minnesota at Madison. And the Gophers will have more than talented Paul Giel on their side. Its been 40 years sonce the Badgers have annexed a Big Ten title, and the Wisconsin eleven has never made a trip to the Rose Bowl classic. NEVERTHELESS, Wisconsin is rated a solid two-touchdown fav- orite to quell the Ski-U-Mah threat and gain at least a share of the 1952 conference crown. With fullback Alan (The Horse) Ameche and quarterback Jim Haluska in the lineup, Coach Ivy Williamson's charges are a good bet to capture the 20th in a 61 game series. Ameche is the Western Confer- ence rushing leader with 596 yards in 121 carries for a 4.93. Haluska ranks fouith in passing, hitting on 62 of 101 tosses for 734 yards, six touchdowns and a .714 percentage. * * * GOPHER HOPES rest with Giel, who does everything but put the ball in play. He has hit confer- ence lines for -344 yards in 96 at- temupts and has racked up 186' yards on 19 of 46 pass completions. Giel, who accounted for 238 of Minnesota's 293 yards gained against Nebraska last Saturday, is the league's second-best punt- er with a 39.6 average. The Old Oaken Bucket and a mathematical chance for the Big Ten title will be up for the grabs when down-trodden Iowa goes against injury-ridden Purdue in the Boilermaker lair. * * * PURDUE WILL be shooting for its fifth successive Bucket victory, while the Hoosiers take aim on their second league win. Mainstays of the Indiana at- tack are Gene Gedman, all-con- ference fullback candidate who leads the Big scorers for all games, and diminutive Lou D'Achille, a left-handed passerj who has found 51 of 101 re- ceivers on the season. The Boilermakers counter with the practically unstoppable duo of quarterback Dale Samuels and end Bernard Flowers. * * * SAMUELS HEADS the pack of loop chuckers with 62 completions in 102 tosses for 721 yards, seven touchdowns and 61 per cent ac- curacy. Flowers has nabbed 24 passes four of them for six-pointers, for four touchdowns. Coach Stu Holcombe's offense also boasts fullback Max Schmal- ing who has netted six touch- downs in five conference outings. MIRED DEEP in the second di- vision, Illinois and Northwestern engage in a meaningless contest at Champaign. A Wildcat win would deadlock the two squads for a possible spot in the basement. Up at East Lansing, Michigan State is rated an easy choice to dump Marquette and chalk up its second consecutive unblem- ished season. Victory for the Spartans would run its victory skein to 24 straight, the longest unmarred string in football today. Notre Dame clashes with Iowa's Hawkeyes at Iowa City in other mid-west action. The two have tied for the last two years. On the West Coast, the game of games is on tap for a nation- wide television audience. More than 100,000 fans will jam Los Angeles' Memorial Coliseum to watch Southern California and UCLA, both undefeated, fight it out for the Rose Bowl.

The previous pact with the Pacific Coast Conference con- tamed a clause to the effect the Big Ten could designate any team it desired. But that stipu- lation was removed when the current agreement was signed last year. If there is an undisputed cham- pion, the vote by athletic directors will be a mere formality. How- ever, a tie seems likely between Michigan and Wisconsin. The Rose Bowl representative in that event won't be known until Monday noon. it Michigan and Wisconsin lose, and Purdue triumphs, Minnesota and Purdue tie for the title. Only those four teams have a mathematical chance for any part of the title; If Michigan, Wisconsin, and Purdue all lose, then Minnesota is undisputed champion; If any of the top five teams tie, then the standings would be more confused than ever.

That's the problem Michigan coach Bill Perigo is facing daily down at Yost Field House. His hustling, cagers haven't gone through more than offensive and defensive half-court drills over the past week. BUT THE fast-breaking Wolver- ine hoopsters get a chance to break loose next Tuesday night when they encounter a strong freshman unit on the Field House hardwood. Game time is 8 p.m. This contest will serve as a preview of things to come when the Maize and Blue opens its 1952-53 court campaign on December 1 against an invading Marquette five. Perigo points out that the fresh- man scrap will show whether or not his charges have been staling off. The figures, certainly, show otherwise. SINCE THE start of practice sessions early in October, the spir- ited Wolverines have steadily in- creased in their field goal and free throw percentages. Shots have been picking up to the point where the 16-man combine has reached a keen edge. Things got so spirited Thurs- day that forward candidate Paul Geyer sustained a possibly-frac- tured nose. The Toledo, Ohio junior got smacked in the schnozzola with an errant el- bow. Otherwise, the Wolverines are ? in top-notch condition. Forward John Codwell has fully recovered from a slow-healing leg muscle in- jury that hampered him early in the fall, S* * * FROSH MENTOR Dave Strack is quite optimistic about the chances of his yearlings to knock off the varsity. He's got a banner crop of pros- pects this year. Foremost among these are Jim Barron and Tom Jorgenson, a pair of hustlers hailing from Chicago.? Barron possesses a good eye, an accurate jump shot and holds down one of the freshman guard posts. He played at Chicago Fen- wick where his team never lost a game while he was in the lineup. JORGENSON OWNS the most impressive high school record of all the newcomers. A boy with tre- mendous potential, Jorgenson made all-city Chicago and second team all-state Illinois at his for- ward spot. Highland Park's contribution to the first year clan is Dave Parks, 6-4 all-state Michigan center who rates as a top-notch rebounder. - An erstwhile center who aver- aged 21 points per contest at Falls- burg, N. Y., High School has been converted from theepivot slot to the backcourt. Pepper-pot Bob Laskowitz, a quick playmaker, has been impressive in recent work- outs. Frank Mcore, 6-2 forward from Canton, Ohio, rounds out the freshman starting five. Also prominent in frosh plans are forward Gary Morrison, all Class B conference at Battle Creek Lakeview, 6-7/z Jay Vauter from Arlington Heights, Ill., Tom Sing- er, formerly of South Bend Cen- tral and Bill Whiteaker of River Rouge. Willowy Harvey Williams, a 6-8 center who was out of school last year after performing briefly in 1950, is back for another whirl. RALPH STRIBE ... there in spirit Seven Year Winning Streak Over Buckeyes Endangered (Continued from Page 1) THE DEFENSIVE PLATOON which must stop Borton and Co. will be the same fielded in previous contests. Headed by rugged Captain Tim Green the Maize and Blue warriors boast the best defensive record in the Conference, hold- ing the opposition to an average of 3.73 yards per play. The rest of the Wolverine defensive line lists Gene Knutson at the other end post, Balog and Art Walker at tackles, and guards Don Dugger (brother of Ohio State's Dean) and Ron Williams. MICHIGAN'S PASS DEFENSE which has limited five Conference opponents to an average of less than five yards per pass play has been working all week to stop Borton's aerial thrusts. Either Lowell Perry or Sophomore Dah Cline will get the call at safety. Defensive halfbacks will be Dave Tinkham and Don Oldham, and Roger Zatkoff and Laurie LeClaire will again team as linebackers. Offensively, attention will be focused on tailback Ted Kress who is only 273 yards short of Tom Harmon's Michigan record for total yardage in one season. The lithe junior triple-threat has run and passed for 1,099 yards in eight games this season. * * * * TEAMING WITH KRESS at halfback will be either senior speed- ster Frank Howell or freshman sensation Tony Branoff. Both Howell and Branoff average better than four yards per try and have scored four touchdowns between them. Ted Topor will call the signals, run, pass and block from his familiar quarterback post. Dick Balzhiser, last week's leading ground gainer, will get the nod at fullback. The Maize and Blue will probably counter Ohio State's pass blitz with some aerial fireworks of their own. Offensive ends Perry and Tad Stanford give passers Kress, Topor and Branoff better than average targets. The job of opening holes in the Buckeyes' bulky forward wall falls to Michigan tackles Ben Pederson and Dick Strozewski, guards Bob Timm and Dick Beison and center-delux Dick O'Shaughnessy. In the traditional rivalry which dates back to 1897 Michigan has won 32 games, Ohio State 12, and there have been four ties. The Wol- verines have scored 828 total points to the Buckeyes' 346. By IVAN KAYE Ancient gridiron adversaries Michigan and Ohio State will write the forty-ninth chapter of one of the game's most illustrious rival- ries today at Ohio Stadium in. Columbus. Once again this year, as in so many years past, the contest car- ries championship implications. A Michigan victory will insure at least a share of the conference crown for the Maize and Blue. * *. * OF ALL THE great title strug- gles held in the Buckeye horse- shoe, perhaps the greatest was the storied clash between Michigan and the Scarlet and Grey in 1926. Both teams entered the stad- ium carrying perfedt confer- ence records. The showdown was at hand. To the victor would go the championship of the West. The giant concret arena was jammed with 90,437rfans. The eyes of the nation were focused on Columbus. Fielding Yost's Michi- gan squad boasted the greatest passing combination in football, Benny Friedman to Bennie Ooster- baan. OHIO COACHED by Dr. John W. Wilce, had a powerful runner in Marty Karow and a great place kicker in Myers Clark. The Buckeyes, fired to the hilt and playing before a homecom- ing crowd, all but ran the Wol- verines out of the stadium in the first quarter. Karow led a crunching 75 yard touchdown drive, andsbefore the stunned Michigan squad could recover, Clark booted a 23 yard fieldgoal to give a 10-0 lead. Michigan stormed back to a touchdown with Friedman throw- '---- Ph. 3-5651 ing 38 yards to Oosterbaan, who raced alone behind three Ohio ae- fenders into the end zone. 4 4 S THE TWO SQUADS battled on even terms until just before half- time, when Michigan recovered a Karow fumble on the Buckeye 44. With time running out, Friedman decided to try for a fieldgoal in hope of evening the score. With the Ohio defenders swarming over Oosterbaan to avert what they thought would be a trick pass play, Friedman had enough time to power a tre- mendous kick over the crossbar for the tying points. Late in the third quarter, Fried- man threw to Oosterbaan to put michigan in the lead 17-10. Thus it went until the waning moments of the fourth quarter when the Buckeyes rose to their greatest heights. Karow lead the Scarlet and Grey on a brilliant 68 yard march that ripped the vaunted Michigan forward wall to shreds. ENDING TODAY WAR1NE R'S ''-"\ MERRIEST :C/NIN-CO OR MUSICAL!

All that was needed for a successful conversion, and the Buckeyes would tie for the Big Ten title and achieve an undefeated season. Myers Clark, who had kicked the fieldgoal, was called upon to tie the score. In the gathering dusk, he barely lifted the ball off the ground. Seconds later the game was history.
