0 PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1953 Bucks at wolverine Lair In Season Finale Today (Continued from Page 1) OHIO TOO HAS BEEN beset with injuries to key players this season, but whereas Michigan received most of its punishment over / the course of the last two games, the Buckeyes have had a little time to ready themselves for today's encounter. Ohio's great quarterback, John Borton of Alliance, was knocked out of the Illinois game early in the season with a sprained ankle, and has yet to regain full playing efficiency. Borton is the key to the Ohio offense. It is his passing and the threat of his running from the tricky "Split T" formation that give the Buckeyes a scoring punch which at the outset of the season was expected to carry them to the conference title. Bob Watkins, a 5 foot 9 inch, 192 pound package of football dynamite from New Bedford, Massachusetts, is the top Ohio runner, and one of the finest ball carriers in the nation. Watkins has carried the ball 134 times for 804 yards and 10.touchdowns this season. He has a six yard rushing average, one of the best in the Big Ten. Against California in a non-conference game which was televised across the nation, he scored four touchdowns and was acclaimed the Back of the Week in the Associated Press Poll. The overall picture for Michigan this afternoon is as gloomy as the overcast sky, however the always-present upset factor in these traditional Big Ten games, and especially in the Ohio State-Michigan series; may offer some pre-game comfort to Wolverine adherants. The Michigan team is thoroughly aroused for this game and wants to win it badly. The only question is whether or not the varsity can overcome the handicap of the numerous injuries to important players. The inclement weather may help to slow the Ohio offense, but in the final analysis the game must be won at the scrimmage line by superior play. Grid Game Pleases Alumnus WOLVERINE HOOP HISTORY: Pitt Opener Marks Thirty-Six Years of 'M' Basketball - - By TED KAUFMAN Michigan enters its thirty-sixth consecutive year of basketball on December fifth with its season opener against the Pittsburgh Panthers. In this three decades plus, the Maize and Blue hoopsters have been victorious in nearly sixty per cent of their six hundred and six- ty-five endeavors. In conference play, however, the Wolverines have amassed only a .495 percentage, which places them fourth in all- time conference standings behind Illinois, Wisconsin and Purdue. IN ITS FIRST year, 1917, the Wolverine quintet with Elmer Mitchell as coach ended the sea- son with a disappointing 6-12 re- cord, ten of the losses and none of the wins were in the Big Ten. The 0-10 record earned Michigan the conference cellar. Mitchell left Michigan after the following season and Edwin Mather replaced him. Mather was more durable than his pred- essdr and it was not until 1928, after nine years in Ann Arbor, that he left Michigan. In 1926, the Wolverines ended in a four way tie for the confer- ence title with Indiana, Purdue and Iowa. The following season they brought back to Ann Arbor its first undisputed Big Nine hoop title with a 10-2 record. * * * GEORGE VEENKER, Mather's replacement, coached the Michi- gan team to a tie with Wiscon- sin for the conference laurels in his first year, 1929. The spark plug of this team was its captain and a future hoop coach here, Er- nie McCoy. McCoy, playing guard, provid- ed the fire behind the team, and was awarded the honor of be- ing elected captain of the 1929 all-conference team and the, conference medal for being cap-, tain of the championship bas- ketball team. From 1931 to 1937, the Maize and Blue quintets were under the tutelage of Frank Cappon. Al- though Cappon's teams never brought a conference title to Ann Arbor, they did compile a winning 66-49 record. A FAMILIAR name to present day university students followed Cappan. Ben Oosterbaan, all- American end and present Wolver- ine football coach stepped into the coaching reigns. During Oosterbaan's e i g h t years Michigan also went with- out a title. However, several not- ables played on Bennie's 1943-44 squad. One was Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, now a profession- al football player and the other was Don Lund who played for the Detroit Tigers last season. Following the Oosterbaan era, Ozzie Cowles, famous Minnesota product came to Michigan for two seasons and during that time coached the Wolverine's most re- known five, that of 1947-48. * * * WITH SUCH personnel as Pete Elliott, that year all Big Nine de- fensive ace, Mack Sprunowicz, on the all Big Nine five, Bill Roberts and Bob Harrison, the conferences top scorer, the team compiled a 15-5 season record and led the conference. With such a fine season, the team was invited to represent the midwest in the NCAA tour- nament in New York City. They bowed to Holy Cross, the defend- ing champs, but came back to trounce Columbia 66-49, and win the consolation round. For the 1948-51 seasons Ernie McCoy, captain of the 1929 team returned as coach. The 1948 squad had a season's record of 15-6, Bob Harrison was named most valu- able conference player but the team could do no better than third in the standings of the Big Nine. * * *. WHEN McCOY left in 1952, the present Michigan basketball men- tor, the affable Bill Perigo took over. With a team rather limited by lack of height, his t charges could do no betterthan a tie for the conference cellar with a 3-15 record. This season, Perigo's second as coach, the Maize and Blue five have been strengthened by the ad- dition of more speed but still lacks the needed experienced height. The future, with the past, looks bright for Michigan fans.
