WOIKING MAINLY on defense
yesterday, Oosterbaan sent his
squad through extensive drills
against a green-shirted team of
reserves. Much stress was laid on
p ass defense in an effort to halt
the Spartan's Tommy Yewcic.
The Wolverines also prac-
ticed defensive set-ups design-
ed to stop the fleet Leroy Bol-
den, currently the 15th rank-
ing rusher in the nation. Bol-
den whipped Ohio State almost
singlehandedly last week, and
the Michigan scouts have at-
temped to aid Oosterbaan in de-
signing an adequate defense to
halt him.
On the offensive side of the
ledger, signal drills augmented by
passes held the spotlight, as Oos-
terbaan used fleet sophomores
Tommy Hendricks and George
Corey extensively. Lou Baldacci,
the rugged quarterback, put his
toe to work again with many suc-
cessful conversion attempts, while
he and Ted Kress alternated in
punting drills.
A LONG SESSION of touch
scrimmage was also a part of the
Ferry Field routine yesterday, with
the Wolverines running through
most of their plays at half-speed
to avoid injuries.
The gridders wound up the
day's activities with a fast and
peppy session on the tackling
dummies, again running
through a variety of plays.
Michigan leaves for this game
in perhaps its best physical shape
of the season. Ailing captain Dick
O'Shaughnessy has apparently re-
turned to form, along with huge
hiser and tailback Kress. Kress'
told Fleming that "trhis is the big.
one," as he commented on Satur-
day's showdown at Macklin Field. \

WHAT HAPPENED? Leahy Intends
Prestige of Big Ten Title Dims; To Keep Irish
Rose Bowl Monopolizes Glory Coachin Job
By DAVE LIVINGSTON
v-
Something's been stolen.
The glory that once made the
Big Ten championship the most
coveted .award in the football
world has silently but efficiently
been transferred from the confer-
ence crown to that New Years Day
extravaganza appropriately dubbed
the Rose Bowl.
THE above-mentioned pogt-sea-
son classic has lived up to its
name: it gets all the roses while,
the Big Ten title race is relegated,
for the most part, to passing men-
tion buried in the reams of sports
copy.
There was a time when the
championship of the Western
Conference was the goal of
every Big Ten team; it still is,
but only incidentally in that it
may provide a ticket to Pasa-
dena on January 1.

the Wolverines.
HOWEVER, that feat might be
difficult to accomplish especially
after Monday's sad tale of woe
from the practice field. On Blue
Monday Dr. James Feurig, team
physician, revealed that two regu-
lars plus a second' string end
would be missing from the Michi-
gan game.
On the disabled list were Billy
Wells, stellar right halfback
of ,the pony backfield; Randy
Schrecengost, first string left
tackle; and Carl Diener, reserve
end.
Wells, a victim of pneumonia,
and Schrecengost, out with a bad
knee, will be sorely missed as both
were valuable first stringers.
INCLUDING Saturday's game
with Ohio State, Wells had scored
six touchdowns and Schrecengost
had been ranked as one of the
best Spartan linemen.n f
All is not sadness and gloom
at East Lansing, however, for
the Spartan coaching staff is
entirely satisfied with the out-
come of Saturday's clash with
Ohio State, a team that MSC
conquered by the convincing
margin of 28-13.
IN THAT all important Big 10
clash which stamped the Green
and White as a definite contender
for conference honors along with
the unbeaten Illini, the Munnmen
were sharp in comparison to their
drab appearances against Purdue
and Oregon State.
The Spartans tackled and
blocked hard to turn back the
Bucks.

Last year a survey of leading colleges

Luckies lead again over all brands, regu-
