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. \ The big battle, a complete sell- X'--1 'Q,"WIAI out for months, will be televised o S g . coast to coast. .,.... 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. Look at Wisconsin. The Badg- ers, sparked by a pair of great backs, Alan Ameche and Harland Carl, are still very much in the running for the Conference SOUTH BEND - (P) -- Frank crown, yet receive comparatively Leahy said yesterday, health per- mitting, he intends to continue little notice from the majority of as Notre Dame's head football j sports fans and writers. coach the remainder of a con- * * * tract which extends through 1955.

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. After putting forth dull, listless For Your Car ...
