It was just 75 years ago that Michigan inaugurated the gridiron sport with a rousing 7-2 victory over Racine College. And in the an- niversary year of 1954 the Wolverine grid squad has come just about as far in five weeks as the game of football has in 75 years. Yet the previous remark that smacked of Rose Bowl optimism is obviously premature, although it does reflect the sentiment that began to possess a large segment of the campus population late Saturday afternoon. Ohio State is "still the odds-on favorite to annex the Big Ten crown and the concurrent Jaunt to Pasa- dena, for the Buckeyes have been consistently great while the Wolverines have been alternately brilliant and terrible. But while the festive spirit reigns, Wolverine fans prefer to for- get the Bucks (not to mention Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan State) for a while and concentrate on their own heros. Although Michigan t rooters are just as fickle as their team seems to be, who can blame them for getting a wee bit excited over the events of the past weekend? The Maize and Blue team that literally blasted Minnesota off the football map could hold its head high with any squad that has, since the inaugural with Racine, made the name Michigan incom- parable in gridiron lore. Add that game to the one two weeks ago with Iowa and that pair alone would make any anniversary celebration suc- cessful. UT THE CELEBRATION encompasses a nine, and not a two, game Y B span. The party started out shakily (Washington), approached disaster proportions (Army), had a brief moment of what appeared at the time mere exhuberance (Iowa), again forbode doom (North- western), and then abruptly turned into one of the most gala affairs (Minnesota) that long-time Michigan Stadium party-goers can re- member. It took a while, but Master of Ceremonies Bennie Oosterbaan has molded neophytes and veterans into the smooth-working aggregation that amazed the football world Saturday. It will take a combination of breaks and continued inspired performances, but it's not inconceiv- able' that the Wolverines can continue to play at least a semblance of the type of football they showed Saturday. The single-wing came back in grand style to bewilder the Gophers after the T-formation had had a brief and unsuccessful fling. For the first time this season the Wolverines are in at least fair physical condition. Everyone but Ed Hickey, Jerry Williams, and possibly Dave Hill should be available for Indiana, in con- trast with recent weeks when the injury list read like a starting lineup. The line that proved inept in earlier contests stopped the vaunt- ed Minnesota backs cold while opening gaping holes on offense. Tom Maentz has developed rapidly as a capable mate at end for his talent- ed fellow sophomore Ron Kramer. Jim Bates has shaken off the in- jury bug to fill the all-important center and linebacker slots. Lou Baldacdi appears to have found his niche at quarterback, after start- ing the year as a fullback. And he joins Bates to mold a rugged line- backing team. The hard-driving Fred Baer, who has finally fulfilled the promise he showed three years ago as a freshman, has given the Wolverines a single-wing fullback who can spin and can run. Dan Cline, probably the steadiest performer Michigan can boast, is a tailback who can run, kick, and pass. And his punt returning was little short of sensational last week. Sophomore Jim Maddock runs the team with the cool head of a veteran when he takes over at quar- terback. He blocks, tackles, and, when he's trapped trying to pass, can run with the best of them. And it's enough to say that Tony Branoff is back at wingback. * * * *. Kramer Kicking King .. . HE FOOT is still a big part of football, and in that department the Wolverines need take a backseat to no one. Kramer hasn't missed a conversion attempt all season, his booming kickoffs are equally consistent, and he and Maddock possess punting averages surpassed by few in the country. Quarterback Dune McDonald still possesses a fine passing arm and remains available for the spot roles that won more than one game for Michigan last year. Comparable depth exists in other positions where the frequent lineup shuffles have given several men experience at every position. All in all it's far from a gloomy picture that presents itself as the Wolverines head into the last half of what has developed into one of the most interesting Conference races in history. But It's a long, long haul to the battle with Ohio State, currently the country's top team. After his week's game with Indiana, a team that Michigan can ill-afford to under estimate, the Wolverines will face the pre-season favorites, Illinois and Michigan State, on successive weekends. The Spartans are a much better team than their record would in- dicate, while if the Illini have one good game in their system it's a pretty sure bet that it will be against Michigan. Should the Wolver- ines pull through that formidable array of opposition unscathed, the finale at Columbus promises to develop into a climactic struggle that befits the conclusion of a Diamond Jubilee season, SAM, Phi Delts Gain Grid First-Place Semi-Final Tilts By John Hillyer Sigma Alpha Mu and Phi Delta Theta both advanced to the first- place semi-finals in social frater- nity intramural football competi- tion yesterday afternoon at South Ferry Field. In other games, Sigma Phi Ep- silon and Lambda Chi Alpha won their quarter-finals for second place, Phi Kappa Sigma and Delta Epsilon advanced in third-place competition, and Chi Phi tri- umphed in its fourth-place play- off contest. Sparked by the passing of War- ren Wertheimer and over 100 par- tisan fans, Sigma Alpha Mu edged Pi Lambda Phi, 7-6, to gain a semi-final berth in the first-place playoffs. Wertheimer itched to, Paul Groffsky in the first half for the touchdown, and Tom Kovanj added the extra point for thej Sammies to give them the margin of victory. Leon Greenblatt, whose passing kept the Pilams in the game, passed to Jerry Stern in the first half for therr only score. With four minutes to play, the Pil- ams made a first down, and seem-j ed to be headed for a possible win- ning touchdown. However, the first down was nullified by a clip- ping penalty and the march was halted. Alpha Epsilon, 26-7, behind the passing of Bill Shapel. Shapel fired three touchdown passes in the first half Rto build up the Phi Delts' lead, two to George Beau- champ and one to Doug Lawrence, and a fourth in the second half to Frank Moore. Larry Wise scored' the only six-pointer for the SAE's, with Ron Norene adding the extra point. Both of the extra points were netted for the Phi Delts by Lawrence. In second-place competition, Sigma Phi Epsilon beat Sigma Chi, 8-7, in overtime. The score was knotted at 7-7 at the end of regulation play, but Sig Eps marched off the most yardage in overtime to gain the victory. Rich Crawford scored the touchdown for Sig Eps, with Roger Maugh tallying the point-after. In the other second-place quar- ter-final game, Lambda Chi Al- pha outscored Sigma Nu, 12-6.

Overtime Thriller In another overtime thriller, Phi Kappa Sigma defeated Delta Up- silon in a third-place playoff con- test. Ernie Meyers provided the victory spark for the Phi Kappa Sigs, passing to Jim Vukovich for a second-half touchdown and fir- ing for the winning yardage m ov- ertime. Delta Kappa Epsilon also enter- ed the third-place semi-finals by besting Alpha Delta Phi, 13-6, in overtime. The Dekes scored a touchdown in overtime in addi- tion to outgaining the Alpha Delts. Chi Phi downed Sigma Phi, 6-0, in fourth-place competition. Phi Delts Win, 26-7 In another first-place1 Phi Delta Theta trampled battle, Sigma DAVE HILL . . . sidelined with injury AP Poll Ranks "M' Eleventh Michigan's surprising football team gained eleventh place in the Associated Press's weekly nation- wide poll of 214 sportswriters and sportcasters. The Wolverines moved into the national rankings on the basis of their impressive 34-0victory over Minnesota, who was previously ranked eighth in the poll. Ohio State, the leader and only other undefeated Big Ten team, moved from fourth place a week ago to the top spot in the poll. The Buckeyes came from behind to trounce Wisconsin soundly, 31-14. Ohio State coach Woody Hayes said, "I know everyone is talking about national rankings and Rose Bowl and all those things, but to us the season is merely half over, That's how we look at it. Four im- portant ones yet to go." The Top Ten teams are as fol- lows : 1. Ohio State (64) 5-0 1858 2. Oklahoma (74) 5-0 1834 3. UCLA (45) 6-0 1800 4. Arkansas (16) 5-0 1351 5. Army (1) 4-1 974 6.

(6) 4-0 369 Aggravated Ankle Injury Sidelines Hill May Be Absent For Hoosier Tilt An aggravated ankle injury side- lined Wolverine fullback Dave Hill yesterday, and may keep him out of action in this weekend's game with the Indiana Hoosiers. While the Michigan grid squad ran through defense against Indi- ana plays yesterday afternoon, Hill was having his ankle treated in the training room. The hard-run- ning junior ,back originally sus- tained the injury in the Army game earlier this season. He limped no- ticeably in the Minnesota contest last Saturday. Head Coach Bennie Oosterbaan said Hill further aggravated the injury Monday when he tripped on a rug. It was decided yesterday that the ankle needed attention. Team Shows Spirit The team showed lots of spirit in practice, ,and worked hard on blocking earlier in the afternoon. Later Oosterbaan had the second string run Indiana plays against the starting team. The squad worked mostly on pass defense, with its eye to next week- end when the Wolverines will face one of the best arms in the Big Sophomores interested in bas- ketball managering may see me after 4 p.m. at Yost Field House, or can call me at NO 8-8612. -Larry Houck Ten. The sharpshooter the Maize and Blue have been warned about is Indiana's first string quarter- back, Florian Helinski. Although Helinski only recently recovered from a shoulder injury and played only 15 minutes against Iowa last weekend, he completed two passes against the Hawkeyes. Hickey Still Doubtful Starter Right halfbacks Tony Branoff and Ed Hickey both participated in yesterday's drills. Branoff saw some action last weekepd against Minnesota, and is slated to play even more this weekend. But Hick- ey, whose cracked rib has kept him out of two games since he sus- tained the injury in the Iowa bat- tle, still is a doubtful starter. Although Indiana has won only one game this season, and that against College of the Pacific, Michigan scouts warned the Wol- verines that the Hoosiers are a better team than their Big Ten cellar position indicates.

"We have much room for im- provement and with some fine new prospects, we can do much better in conference play than we have done," he continued. Perigo listed several reasons for his optimistic viewpoint. Among them is the fact that he will have his entire starting five back again and with a year's experience under their belt, they should be able to hold their own against Michigan's foes. The returning men are Paul Grofsky, Jim Barron, Don Eaddy, Tom Jorgenson, and Harvey Wil- liams. Bruce Allen, Jay Vawter, Tom Singer, and Jerry Stern are the subs who are also returning to the basketball wars. Barron 'Most Valuable' Barron, who was voted the "Most Valuable Player" last sea- son, was Michigan's top point pro- ducer. The 6' junior chalked up 377 points in 22 contests, for a 17-1 game average. Tom Jorgenson trailed him with 272 points in 22 games for a 12.3 average. Newly-elected captain P a u 1 Grofsky posted an 11.3 average, by tallying 250 points in 22 games. Don Eaddy and Harvey Williams registered 205 and 195 points re- spectively, for game averages of 9.3 and 9.2. Perigo stated that three prom- ising sophomores can break into the probable starting lineup. "Ron Kramer is an excellent prospect. He is big and strong, and likes to throw his weight around under the backboards. If he isn't injured while playing football, he will def- initely aid us in the rebound de- partment." Kramer Potential Rebounder "We had many tall men last sea- son, however they were not out- standing rebounders. K r a m e r shows promise of developing into a grade A rebounder." Other sophomores who have an excellent chance of breaking into the starting lineup are Jim Shear- on, Milt Lingle, and Bob Shar- land. Shearon is 5'11", and is a fine ballhandler and playmaker. Lingle and Sharland are both 6', and coming along fast.
