WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBERS,- THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ~SA1I Dowts e Its, 7-6, in 'M Play BACK AGAIN - BETTER THAN EVER! Mel Sach's Orchestra featuring GENECOHEN Now Available for DANCES and PARTIES .,nee Injury Leaves Branoff's Grid Future Doubtful; Operation Uncertain The Michigan fbctball team ran through defensive practice yester- day afternoon, without the ser- vices of right halfback Tony Bran- off, whose gridiron future is still undetermined. Branoff, whose knee was injured in Saturday's Indiana game, is registered in University Hospital to receive treatment for his in- jury. A statement from the office of the associate' director of the hospital, Dr. Roger B. Nelson, said that Branoff is receiving conser- vative treatment and is respond- ing well. In spite of previous rumors to the effect that he will be operated on immediately, there has been no date set for the removal of a piece of cartilage from his knee. Won't Discuss Future Friends said that Branoff is not broken up -over his injury. How- ever he won't talk about his fu- ture with the football squad. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan led the rest of the grid squad, also minus the services of halfback Dan Cline, who is sidelined with bruised ribs, through indoor drill as a light snow and some rain fell overthe practice field. The Wolverine coaching staff stressed passing defense, a point which was sorely needed in the backfield of Abe Woodson, Mickey Bates, and J. C. Caroline. Caroline Doubtful Starter However, it was learned later in the day that Caroline may not play next Saturday. He missed the Illini-Purdue game last week with a shoulder separation.If he does get into the game, he undoubtedly will not be up to his full effective- ness. Oosterbaan took his team out on the field only for a run in the cold early winter air. The weath- er is likely to be the same as it is at present. Also lost to the Wolverines for another week is end Jerry Wil- liams. Williams has an injured arm and has missed the last two games. Center Jim Bates is also on the sick-list. He was sent to Health Service for a checkup yesterday, but will probably be able to play in Saturday's tilt. UCLA Tops AP Poll;'M' Takes Drop Powerful UCLA took the lead as nation's top team yesterday, and Michigan, ranked 11th last week slipped out of the top 20, accord- ing to the Associated Press poll. Defeat at the hands of a good Indiana eleven was the reason for the drop in the Wolverine rating. Meanwhile undefeated Oklahoma, ranked first three weeks ago, drop- ped to third as the Uclans ascend- ed.

The Sammies lone score came on the last play of the first half, when Paul Richmond caught Warren Wertheimer's throw in the end zone. The same combi- nation accounted also for the all important extra point. Coming back strong in the second period, the Delts marched the- kickoff the length of the field and scored on Jack Demarest's throw to Al Price. However, the losers dropped' the point after touchdown and with it went the game. Murphy Intercepts Later in the half Lee Murphy intercepted a long Sammy pass and so began another advance for 'lace Playoff i Chi Gets Win the losers which got as far as the Sammies' three yard line. But a fifteen yard penalty for offen- sive holding and a five yard pen- alty for illegal pass procedure on successive plays thwarted the drive. As a result or yesterday's vic- tory, the Sammies will meet the winner of the Zeta Beta Tau, Phi Delta Theta encounter in the championship game, to be held a week from today at Wines Field at 8:30 p.m. Chi Psi Loses, 15-0 Sigma Phi Epsilon downed Chi Psi, 15-0, in a second place semi- final engagement. Ted Dodenhoff threw to Rich Crawford for the initial touchdown and to Rog Maugh for the extra point. Maugh swiped the ball from the Chi Psi's, Dale Ewert as Ewert tossed it into the air to avoid being thrown for a loss. Maugh skidded for a sec- ond tally. Later Maugh caught Ewert behind the latter's goal line to garner a safety and round out the score. In the other Second place semi- final game, Lambda Chi Alpha edged Triangle, 6-0. Lambda Chi's single touchdown came on a pass from Hal Cruger to Jim Dutcher. Lambda -Chi will meet Sigma Phi Epsilon next week for the second place championship. Alpha Delta Phi lost its third place playoff game to Theta Chi, 13-0. Evans Scholars won by for- feit over Michigan Co-op in the only independent league engage- ment scheduled.

For the second successive year the Wolverines will play 2E games, 14 being conference tilts. The Maize and Blue will make their debut on December 4th when they meet Pittsburgh in Ann Arbor. Two more games, against Butler and Marquette will follow before the dribblers take to the road on their annual Christmas trip. Starting Five Returns Nine lettermen, including all of last year's starting five, return to the aggregation which finish- ed in a tie for ninth place with Purdue in the 1953-54 campaign. To this nucleus, a group of fine sophomores led by gridder Ron Kramer, Jim Shearon and Milt Lingle round out the team. Only three men were missing from last year's outfit when prac- tice opened on Monday. They are Reynolds Hurt1 OKLAHOMA CITY UP)-A slip in the shower last week may cost Allie Reynolds of the New York Yankees the remainder of his pitching career, it was being con- jectured yesterday. The 37-year-old fireballer told the Daily Oklahoman the index finger of his right hand was cut to the bone in the accident last Thursday at Colorado Springs, Colo. Reynolds had returned from deer hunting. While taking a show- er the mat slipped, thrownig him into the glass enclosure. A doctor performed an 80-min- ute operation in a Colorado Springs hospital on the finger. Skin had to be grafted over the cut. Results of the surgery will not be known until Wednesday, Rey- nolds said. third in scoring last season as he notched 250 points. The top performer on the 53-54 team, Jim Barron, also returns for another year of varsity competi- tion. Possessing a deadly two-hand set shot and an accurate jump shot, Barron led the squad in scoring as he racked up 377 points. Barron Should Star Great things are expected of Barron this campaign, also. Peri- go noted that the high scoring guard, with a year of Big Ten playing under his belt, will have a lot more poise and experience. Another factor which will im- prove his playing is that the squad probably will not rely on Barron as much, and this will take some of the pressure off his shoulders. Tom Jorgenson and Don Eaddy round out the starting five. Jor- genson, a fine shooter and floor man, scored 272 points to hold the second spot on the Wolverine team while Eaddy finished fourth in the scoring race. Of the sophomores, Kramer is expected to supply the most help. Very strong, possessing a good pair of hands and a sharp eye, he should be a big asset under the boards - where Michigan needs help badly. Shearon and Lingle are both good playmakers with good outside shots and should help the team. 1954 December 1955 January Mondays Open Until 8:30 P.M. SAMS STORE 122 E. Washington Sam J.

COACH BILL PERIGO ... bucket squad improving forward John Codwell, center Milt Mead, and past captain, Ray Pa- vechevich. The loss of these play- ers will hurt Michigan in the "battle of the boards," a depart- ment where the Wolverines were woefully inept last season. Williams Holds Key Harvey Williams, to a large de-. gree, seems to hold the key to the door which could open into the first division of the Big Ten. It is accepted as fact by all hoop fol- lowers that a team can not be successful unless it has a good big man. Williams, a 6-8 junior from Kentucky, could fill the bill. Though he only averaged 9-2 points last season, there were times when the big center played excellent ball. Paul Groffsky, captain of the Michigan aggregation will be back at one of the forward positions. A good rebounder and a steady play- er, Groffsky will be one of the important cogs in the Maize and Blue machine.
