WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13,195! THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE' TRtiFW :Hickey OutofAction for Three Weeks witi K'r-r. a rajAd Loss Jolts Michigan Hopes As Northwestern Tilt Nears Five Houses Gain First Place PlayoffS In Intramural Touch Football League Another bad blow rocked Michi- (gan's football camp late. yesterday. when X-Rays on right halfback Ed Hickey revealed that he sus- tained a cracked rib in the Iowa game Saturday. Head coach Bennie Oosterbaan estimated that Hickey will be lost to the Wolverines for at least three weeks, a serious blow to Michigan title aspirations. Hickey, one of the Freshmen interested in bas- ketball please report to the k Sports Building on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of this week at 3:30 pm. Please bring your own equip- ment. Locker space is available. -Dave Strack big guns in the Iowa victory, joins other first stringers Tony Branoff and Lou Baldacci on the injury list,. and leaves the Maize and Blue backfield extremely thin. Ei- ther George Corey, Ed Shannon, % or Stan Knickerbocker will take Hickey's place in the game with Northwestern Saturday. Branoff is out of the contest with Northwestern for sure, and al- though he limbered up briefly to- day, fullback Baldacci will only see limited action against the Wild- cats. Despite the bad break, the Wol- verines appeared full of spirit in yesterday's drills,, working until dark on offensive signal drills and on defensive patterns. The first string wore white jerseys as they practiced s t o p p i n g "Wildcat" plays. Other injuries which burden the Michigan camp these days include Gerry Williams' sore chest, and Art Walkers' aching heel, but both should see action against the Pur- ple. Only Cline Left The loss of Hickey leaves only Danny Cline as the remaining member of Michigan's original first string backfield. Jim Maddock ap- pears to have replaced Duncan McDonald at quarter, while Dave Hill and Fred Baer have replaced Baldacci, and Hickey replaced right half Branoff. Now Hickey himself has to be replaced, and it will be up to Corey, Shannon and Knickerbocker to carry the mail. The injured Branoff worked out briefly today without pads, but is still a long way from playing con- dition. NORTHWESTERN'S DYCHE STADIUM--WILL HISTORY REPEAT Chicago Flood Recalls 1925 Game When Wildcats Upset M' in Mud By PHIL DOUGLIS A deluge which turned Chicago and suburbs into a quagmire yes- terday, may well drown Michigan's budding title hopes along with it this Saturday afternoon. At least this promises to happen Wisconsin, Ohio State Loom as Co-favorites; Five Teams Bar Road to Conference Crown I By DON LINDMAN With three weeks of the season gone and only three teams defi- nitely out of contention, the Big Ten grid powers open fire on each other in a three-week series of games which should separate the men from the boys in the Western Conference title race. During that period Iowa and Ohio State, Iowa and Wisconsin, Purdue and Wisconsin, and Ohio State and Wisconsin meet in crucial contests. The advantage at the present rests with the Buckeyes and the Badgers, who have assumed co- favorite roles since the upset of Iowa last Saturday. The schedule may favor the Badgers, who meet OSU the week after Iowa invades Columbus. This advantage was diminished some- what by the Hawkeye loss, how- ever. Ohio State now has a one- game lead over Iowa and can af- ford -topoint more definitely for the game with Wisconsin on the following week. Iowa is definitely at a disadvan- tage after being tripped-up by Michigan. Coach Forest Evashev- Read and Use Daily Classifieds ski's crew can't afford to take a breather during any of their next five games, since one more de- feat would in all probability spell curtains for their title chances. Ohio State has shown up exceed- ingly well during its first three games. The Buckeyes have gained 87 more yards in the air and a phenomenal 461 more yards on the ground than their opponents. Quar- terback Dave Leggett has com- pleted 55% of his passes, while halfback Howard "Hopalong" Cas- sidy averaged more than seven' yards a carry in his first two games. More significant, perhaps, is the fact that OSU has allowed an av- erage of only 188 yards to its op- ponents. Pass defense has been especially outstanding, with OSt's foes being able to complete only 43 per cent of their passes for a meager average of 77 yards per game. The alert Buckeye secon- dary has pilfered six tosses already this year. Purdue Schedule Rugged Purdue, which opens its confer- ence campaign against Wisconsin this weekend, plays one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Even with games against Missouri, Notre Dame, and Duke behind them, the sophomore-studded Boil- ermakers can hardly be expectedj to emerge from tilts with Wiscon- sin, Michigan State, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio State, and Indiana as a cham- pionship contender. The chief role of the men fromF Lafayette seems to be one of a spoiler, since it is quite possible that the Purdue squad will be able to dump one or two of the title as-; pirants in the same, fashion in which Notre Dame was toppled. Michigan State faces a nearly hopeless situation, having already lost two of its six games. Playing one less conference contest than Iowa, OSU, and Wisconsin, the Spartans must win all three re- maining games and hope that all other Big Ten teams lose three of their Big Ten tilts. Surprisingly, Michigan is in prob- ably the best situation of any con- ference team schedule-wise. The Wolverines face Northwestern, In-; diana, and Minnesota in their next three games, and could conceiv- ably enter the Michigan State con- test with a 5-0 record.1 if history has anything to say about it. Way back in 1925, Mich- igan's Wolverines had just crush- ed a rugged Navy squad, 54-0, and were first starting drills for an impending clash with a weak Northwestern team the following week in Chicago. Meanwhile the Windy City ex- perienced a light drizzle which be- gan on an October Sunday eve- ning. Hardly noticing it, Chicago- ans went about their way, until the drizzle became a torrent, and Chi- cago wallowedin the throes ofha flood. For six days, and six nights it rained, and America's second largest town was turned into a sub- urb of Lake Michigan. When the Wolverines arrived at Chicago's Soldier Field for the game the fol- lowing Saturday, they found a miniature lake awaiting them. We cannot see into the future and predict what the Wolverines will do in rain soaked Dyche Sta- dium in Evanston this Saturday, but we can re-live history, and re- late the tale of a muddy set-to re- tween Wolverine and Wildcat back in 1925. 40,000 fans huddled in the soggy lakefront areana that day to see a Michigan team headed by Benie Friedman and Bennie Oosterbaan do battle with the undermanned Wildcats. late in the game the Wolverines managed to trap Tim Lowrey be- hind his goal for a safety. . . But it was too late. The Purple ban- ner waved the highest that day . . by a 3-2 count. Michigan later rolled on to sweep all other opposition before it, in- cluding a Red Grange Illinois team, but those three points re- mained as the only defeat of the season. The Mighty Yostmen had met their "Water-loo" (no pun in- tended in Soldier Field that day, and when final returns were in, the field goal was the only score of the entire season to be regis- tered against the Wolverines. Once again this Saturday, a fa- vored Wolverine eleven will dash onto Dyche Stadium's turf, and if present conditions continue the turf may be as sloppy as the 19251 vintage. Weather, the great equal- izer, may have a lot to say as to how far Michigan's 1954 team will go . . . especially against Northwestern's Wildcats.I By JOHN HILLYER Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta both gained first-place playoff berths in overtime to high- light yesterday afternoon's action in the social fraternity intramur- al league. Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, and Alpha Delta Phi also became eligible for the first-place playoffs as a result of yesterday's competition. SAE bested Sigma Chi, 7-6. in overtime play, after the two teams had battled to a 6-6 tie during reg- ulation play. SAE then gained the most yardage with its four downs in overtime to annex the point necessary for victory. After a scoreless first half, Ron Norene scored for SAE in the third quarter on a pass from Bill Bernard. How- ever, Sigma Chi came back in the final period when Jim Young caught a scoring pass from Fred Newman. Both teams were unable to score the point-after-touch- down. Another entrant into the first- place playoffs was Phi Delta The- ta, which completed its unblem- ished league competition with a The University Golf Course and Clubhouse will close for Ithe season this Sunday night, October 17th. Please clean out all lockers. -Harry Kaesberg Manager 20-2 trouncing of Alpha Tau Omega. This win broke a first- place tie between the two teams. All three touchdowns were scored by Doug Lawrence, former Varsity basketball captain, two coming on passes from Tom Jorgenson, a member of the present cage squad. Rusty Swaney pitched to Lawr- ence for the other six-pointer. Lawrence also accounted for one of the Phi Delts' extra points. Phi Gams Roll The other team to finish the league season undefeated was Phi Gamma Delta, which nipped Lambda Chi Alpha, 13-7, to gain a playoff berth. Pete Paulus, for- mer Varsity tennis captain, passed to Ernie McCoy for one of the, Phi Gams' TD's, and pitched to Howine Liverance to set up the other, with Bud Wilcox plunging over on the next play from two yards out. Both teams boasted per- fect records going into the game. Alpha Delta Phi edged Beta The- ta Pi, 14-13, thus creating a 3-way tie between these two teams and Phi Kappa Psi for a berth in the first-place playoffs. The Alpha Delts scored 33 points in their three contests, however, besting Sooners Still Hold First Slot In AP's Weekly Gridiron Poll. By The Associated Press Oklahoma was all by itself at the top of the Associated Press' football poll today and appears due for a long tenancy following its road victory over Texas. But some of the other members of the elite top ten may run into trouble and demotion this weekend. Michigan was unrated.

Had the Betas won, they would have gained the playoff spot. Both of Alpha Del's touchdowns came on passes from Roger Mulier, one to Harry MacCallum and the other to Laurie Booge. Terry Iver- son and Tom Brandt both tallied for the Betas. Ed Swanson scored the decisive extra point for the Alpha Delts.

"Umm, hmm, but he's crazy," replied Coed Two. "Crazy how?" asked the first. "Well, for one thing, look how he dresses. He has a whole wardrobe of those perfectly stunning Van Heusen Vanahue shirts ... you know the beautiful colored ones with the wonderful collar styles, those short ones and button-downs and spreads and everything?" "He must be loaded," commented No. 1. "He's really cute." "Silly. You don't have to be rich to own Vanahue Shirts. They may look like custom shirts, but they oay cost $3.95." "So what's so crazy?" "Look at him," replied No. 2. He's got on that lovely green Vanahue with a blue suit." "I don't care. He's cute." "But he could wear almost any of his others ..the pink, the yellow,- the blue, or even the vintage. It's only because he's nuts." Shortly thereafter, our No. 1 girl met the freshman in question at the drug store. With astonishing tact, she said: "My girl friend thinks you're nuts." "So does my room-mate," he replied sadly. "Why?" "Just because I like pancakes." "I love pancakes," she answered. "You do? Well, gee, come over to the fraternity house# I've got trunks of 'em." "You're cute," she said.
