A Minnesota team that is already being compared to the famed Ger- mue Bierman juggernaughts of the 30's and early 40's is on its way toward the Michigan Stadium for a homecoming date with the Wolver- ines this Saturday afternoon, and they are bringing with them one of the most remarkable backfields of the current season. Perhaps the more remarkable man in the backfield is Ken Yack- el, a third string fullback far more famous for his ice hockey ability. Yackel, one of Johnny Mariucci's crack hockey defensemen, did not come out for football until midway in his junior year, and rarely saw action. Murry Warmath, new Gopher coach, was desperate last Satur- day against Illinos as a result of injuries to his top two fullbacks, John Baumgartner, and Frank + C s } GENE CAPPELETTI *. . sparks Gophers Bachman, so he turned to the bench and called in Yackel. Warmath had never seen Yackel play in an actual game before, only remembering him for his steady and rugged play on the hockey ice. It was a gamble, but it paid off.

If this showing is any indication of his ability, the Wolverines better watch out for him this Saturday afternoon. Another unusual twist to the Go- pher backfield is the presence of brothers, Bob and Don MacNa- mara. Bob working from right half is the workhorse of the Min- nesota team, carrying the mail 44 times for 287 yards, and boasting a 6.5 average. Hisbrother Don, last year an understudy to the great Paul Giel, currently has car- ried 20 times for 71 yards and a 3,5 average. When one considers these aver- ages, thrown together with the 7.3 rushing mark of first string full- back John Baumgartner, and the top notch passing of quarterback Gene Cappeletti, the Wolverines are in for a workout this Saturday afternoon. Add to all this a typical Minne- sota line, a line that has held four opponents to a paltry 557 yards (compared to the Gophers' 1115 total) and you can readily see why Minnesota currently ranks as the eighth team in America. It will take quite some football to wrest the Little Brown Jug from the Gophers. Whether the Wolver- ines can do it or not will be an- swered this Saturday afternoon in the Stadium. { Bulletin PHILADELPHIA (WP)-Sturdy Johnny Saxton, fighting a cau- tious counter-punching battle, stripped listless Kid Gavilan of his world welterweight title yesterday on a unanimous deci- sion in a dull 15-round bout at Convention Hall. The 24-year-old new cham- pion, a New York Golden Glove grad, won the votes of all three officials after a battle marred by much holding, wrestling, tugging and shoving. At times it looked more like a wrestling match than a fight. "It was a lousy fight," said Chairman Frank Wiener of the Pannsylvania Athletic Commis- sion. "But I guess they did as well as they could." Only in the closing minutes, when the Cuba Keed staged his only real Gavilan-style burst of action did the customers warm up. By DICK CRAMER 7 I-M Fraternity Playoffs Cli Psi, Triangle Cop Second Place Tilts ; Alpha Delts, Theta Chi, Phi Sigs Also Win Mort Siegel's 20-yard pass to Bill Gardner with only a minute remaining in the game gave Zeta Beta Tau a 6-0 victory over Phi Gamma Delta in yesterday's In- tramural fraternity league football play-off games at South Ferry Field. The scoring toss followed 39 minutes of stellar defensive play by both squads and enabled Zeta Beta Tau to gain the semi-finals of the fraternity first place play- offs. Each team repelled one rha- jor threat by the opposition before the game was finally decided. ZBT managed to reach the Phi Gam's one-yard line early in the second quater on a 40 yard pass from Siegel to Gardner and tw) short tosses hauled in by Harry Israel and Howard May. However, Phi Gam staged a successful goal- line stand to keep the game score- less. Kappa Sigma scored first, but Chi Psi soon found its scoring punch to pound out a 26-12 tri- umph in one of two second place play-off tilts. Tom Case connected to Glen Thomet for the opening touch- down for the Kappa Sigs. How- ever, Dale Ewart found the range for Chi Psi with.a touchdown toss to Stu Scheifele to make the half- time score 6-6. Scheifele, Art Fairbanks, and Bob Brown gathered in passes from Ewart in the second half to bring Chi Psi's touchdown total to four for the day. A pass from Case to Dave Swanson garnered Kappa Sigma's final six-pointer. In the other second place play- off encounter Triangle mastered Alpha Sigma Phi, 26-7. It was a day for the Andersons with Paul and Harry (not related) each catching two touchdown passes from John Rackov for Triangle. Alpha Sigma Phi's lone marker came on Jim McCafferty's aerial to Bruce McCubbrey late in the first half. Alpha Phi Alpha and Theta Chi advanced in the third place play- offs by chalking up wins over Psi Upsilon and Phi Kappa Tau, re- spectively. Don Eaddy ran for one touchdown and passed for the two others in Alpha Phi Alpha's 19-7 victory. Psi U managed to hit the scor- ing column on a 15-yard pass from Hugh Banninga to Carl Heller with five minutes remaining in the game. Theta Chi's margin of victory over Phi Kappa Tau was by vir- tue of a completed extra point aerial from Ray Roble to John Tower. This followed a touchdown completion from Roble to Bob MacKenzie and offset an earlier six-pointer recorded for Phi Kap- pa Tau on a throw from Jack Stephenson to Rex Youse. Phi Sigma Delta won its fourth place playoff tilt by a 6-0 margin over Theta Xi. Late in the game Warren Singer connected on a 20- yard aerial to Ivan Kahn to win the game for the Phi Sigs. Bob Olson scored two touch- downs and Booker Williams hit pay-dirt once to lead Tau Epsilon Rho to an 18-13 triumph over Al- pha Omega in the pro-fraternity league meeting. In the meanwhile, Theta Delta Chi was declared winner by for- feit over Delta Chi when the lat- ter team was absent for its sched- uled fraternity league tilt. MMONEEMEMENEq By LEW HAMBURGER Michigan's swimmers b e g a n their workouts for the 1954-55 sea- son on land Monday as coach Gus Stager ran his team through cal- isthenics. After a half hour of the land drills, the team went upstairs to the Sports Building pool to con- clude the workout with a half mile swim. The calisthenics are being done iin the weight room of the Sports Building for the present, but Sta- ger hopes to move the exercises to the Field House within a few days. Dry land workouts with a little dose of distance swimming will be the prescription for the first month and a half of practice. At the end of that time emphasis will be placed on the actual swimming and calisthenics will be carried on by the swimmers individually through- out the remainder of the season. Team spirit was exceptionally high as the season began and a great enthusiasm for their new coaches was displayed by the mem- bers of the team. Stager and Bruce Harlan, diving coach, are very popular and have already in- stilled a spirit of determination in their first college team. The swim- mers themselves are anxiously awaiting the opening meet and a chance to provide the youthful coaches with a winner. Almost all of last year's team, second in the national champion- ships, is back. Captain Bumpy Jones, the Wardrop twins, Bert and Jack, Ron Gora, and diver Jim Walters, the "big guns" of last year's success, are all looking for- ward to a better season. Versatility will undoubtedly be the main factor in the strength of the team. Jones and both of the Wardrop twins are outstanding in- dividual medley men and can swim almost any event in the meet. All three were named to the All-Amer- ican team in several events. Jones holds the world and American rec- ord for the individual medley while Jack Wardrop upset Ohio State's Ford Konno in the NCAA meet last March, breaking the world record in the 220 yard freestyle. Walters heads the diving corps, this season made up of himself, Charley Bates, and sophomore John Narcy. Several sophomore swimmers stand to aid the varsity considerably this year. Breast- strokers John Hubly, and Jim Thurlow and Fritz Myers, individ- ual medley man and freestyler Tom Prunk hope to break into the lineup. The backstroke positions will probably be filled by lettermen Jim Kruthers and Don Potter. Sophomore Ron Puddock should give the team added depth. Breast- strokers Mike Delaney and Glen Miller are also back to fill their old positions. Gora and Pete Dow are left to fill the vacant spots. Sophomores Harrison Wehner and Tony Pear aspire to fit into the lineup also.

WHEN4IT that he may be of valuable help to the Wolverines in their current quest for the Big Ten title. I Directing the team from both the "T'" and single wing forma- tions in the rehearsal for Satur- day's big clash with Minnesota, McDonald pleased head coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan as he continuously hit downfield targets. The drills were quite rough for a mid-week practice, as tackling and blocking were sharp through- out the afternoon. Seeing action for the second straight day were halfbacks Tony Branoff and Ed Hickey. Both men Also leaving early was Ron Kra- mer, who suffered a leg injury in Saturday's victory over North- western. Kramer, however, is ex- pected to be at the left end slot at kickoff time Saturday. Michigan's right end, Jerry Wil-1 liams, is in the Hospital with a shoulder injury that recurred in the Northwestern game. Williams says his shoulder feels all right when his arm is at rest, but any movement is painful. Sophomore Tom Maentz will probably start in place of Williams, unless the latter performer recov- ers quickly.
