M', Wildcat Passers Get
Weekb' Gridiron Honors

By JIM DYGERT
Quarterbacks Duncan MacDon-
ald of Michigan and Dick Thomas
of Northwestern were named Play-
ers-of-the-Week by Daily sports
driters after the Wolverines' 20-12
conquest of the Wildcats last Sat-
urday.
Although actually in the game
for only a few minutes, MacDon-
ald accounted for all of Michigan's
points. The blond, lanky junior
came off the bench in the waning
minutes of the first quarter to lead
a 72-yard scoring drive which
he climaxed with a touchdown toss
to Tony Branoff, the play cover-
ing 44 yards altogether.
* * *
LATE IN THE second quarter
MacDonald took over the Wolver-
ine helm with the ball on the
Wildcat's 39-yard line. On the first
play he completed an 18-yard aer-
ial to end Gene Knutson. After a
roughing penalty had moved the
pigskin to the Northwestern 6-
yard line, he clicked on a short
jump-pass to John Veselenak in
the end zone with a scant two sec-
onds remaining in the half.
Returning near the end of the
third period after first string
quarterback Lou Baldacci had
been injured, MacDonald needed
only two plays to score from his
own 31-yard line.
After sending Branoff around
left end for 20 yards, "Dunc" faded
back and flipped the ball toward
the right sideline. Ted Kress pulled
in the pass and raced down the
sideline behind a bevy of blockers
and cut diagonally to his left to
chalk up Michigan's third tally via
MacDonald's arm and put the
game on ice.
* * *
TO MAKE things complete, the
Flint youth kicked 'two extra
points one each after the second
and third scores. His sensational
passing showed up in the statis-
tics as six completitions in 11 at-
tempts for 128 of the 144 yards
gained by the Wolverines through
theair,
Thomas, who had established

Duckett both contributed two tal-

Recouperating from last
week's upset loss to Illinois, Ohio
State barely managed to squeak
by Penn, 12-6, in a non-confer-
ence tussle.
With the score knotted 6-6 the
Bucks marched 93 yards in 15
plays to eke out a fourth quarter
win over the Quakers.

EVEN THEN Penn was in the
game until the final gun as OSU
missed the extra point and held
only a 12-6 margin, the final
score.

Forced to compete without the
services of ace-back John Bor-
ton Ohio State depended on the
running of halfback Bobby Wat-
kins and the prowess of Borton's
' understudy Dave Leggett.
Howie (Hopalong) Cassidy
equalized an early Quaker touch-
down when he rambled 61 yards to
paydirt in the second period but
Tad Weed, OSU's place-kicking
specialist, missed the extra point.
It wasn't until there were nine
minutes left in the game that
Watkins, who carried 22 times for
116 yards, pounded across from the
two-yard line to give the Bucks
their game-winning edge.

himself as one of the nation's
finest passers, demonstrated
that he deserved the rating by
pacing Northwestern's hot-and-
cold offense with 13 completed
passes in 25 tries for 133 yards.
The blond senior from Rock Is-
land, Illinois, also turned in. a
standout performance in directing
the Wildcats' devastating ground
attack. Carrying the ball more oft-
en than any other Northwestern
back (12 rushes), Thomas picked
up 28 yards running.
Playing almost the entire game,
Thomas also utilized his numer-
ous skills from the half-back post

Challenging his audience to

What's buzzin', Cousin?
A sophomore at a midwestcrn college was bothered by buzz-
ing in his ears and headaches. He went to doctor after doctor
...had his appendix and tonsils removed... his teeth pulled.
But nothing helped. Finally, the doctors gave up and told
him he had only 6 months to live.
The young fellow decided to "live it up" for his last 6
months. First, he went to his college sportswear shop for the
smartest sport shirts money could buy. Naturally, he chose
Van Heusen's VAN GAB.
"VAN GAB is completely washable," beamed the sales-
man. "See the saddle-stitched trim about the collar and pock-
ets. Feel the silky texture of the fabric. And only $5.95. With
a 15 neck like yours, I suggest a Medium size."
"Don't waste my time," snapped the fellow. "Give me one
of each of the 18 smart solid colors. Size rz."
"But sir," gasped the salesman, "your neck is much larger
than a 14. You need at least a 15-
"I've worn a 14 all my life, and I don't feel like changing
now," replied the youngster, greatly annoyed.
"Okay," muttered the salesman. "But I warn you, that
tight collar will give you buzzing in the ears and headaches!"

The first and second place teams
in the Western Conference of the
National Football League clashed

activities the two teams were tied
for first as the Los Angeles Rams
upset the Detroit Lions, 31-19.
As a matter of a fact there is a
three way tie for the lead since the
San Francisco Forty-Niners, who
were tied with the Rams for sec-
ond, overcame the Chicago Bears
by a 53-28 margin.

IN THE GAME at Briggs Stadi-
um, Los Angeles knocked the Lions
from the ranks of the unbeaten led
by the strong ,right arm of Norm
Van Brocklin. The Ram Quarter-
back set up the first touchdown
with his aerials and later tossedE
40 yards to End Elroy Hirsch and
45 yards to End Bob Boyd for,
scores.
The west coast eleven opened
up a 24-9 lead in the third pe-
riod only to have Detroit cut the
lead to five points. Doak Walk-
er kicked a 35-yard field goal
and Bobby Layne tossed his sec-
ond touchdown pass of the day,
a heave that traveled 36 yards to
End Dorn Dibble.
It was at this point that Van
Brocklin iced the game with his
toss to Boyd.
SAN FRANCISCO scored 28
points in the second half to over-
come a 21-7 halftime deficit and
gain its third victory in four at-
tempts this season.

back and the leading ground
gainer in the NFL, crossed the
Chicago goal line three times in
the process'of gaining 117 yards.

in the opening period as deorge
Blanda completed six passes for
164 yards and two touchdowns.

a first and second place team, this
one in the Eastern Conference,
the Cleveland Browns racked up
the Washington Redskins, 30-14
to widen their conference lead.
Behind 14-13, Cleveland's Ot-
to Graham gave the winners a
lead which they never relin-
quished as he tossed for 25 yards
and a score to Dante Laveli. T'wo
subsequent Redskin fumbles en-
abled the Browns to increase the
gap.
The New York Giants scored
their first triumph of the season,
defeating the winless Chicago Car-
dinals, 21-7. Charlie Conerly con-
nected with Ray Pelfrey for 60
yards and a touchdown for one
Giant score and set up another two
completitions that covered the
same number of yards.

ped a three game losing streak by
