Heyliger, the genial cigar chew- ing coach who led the Wolverines to third place in the nation the past season, is beginning perhaps the toughest job of his career-rebuild- ing a team that has lost nine key men through graduation. Yesterday's practice session con- sisted of conditioning, something Wolverine pucksters will see a lot of before they open the season on the night of December 3 here against McGill. Heyliger plans to use only two linesdthis season, one of them com- posed completely of untested tal- ent. His defense is also completely new to the Wolverine hockey scene, as is most of the reserve strength. Only Five Vets Back Only five veterans are back, and four of these are only beginning their second varsity season. Head- ing the returnees is captain Bill MacFarland, who will be teamed with lettermen Neil Buchanan and either Jay Goold or Yves Hebert on , one of Michigan's forward lines. The only other returnee is reserve goalie Bill Lucier, who-as a senior,'is the last remnant of Michigan's great National Cham- pionship teams. From here on, one can easily see why Heyliger terms the coming season as "a year of rebuilding." In the goal is newcomer Lorne Howes, who is boomed to be one of the greatest prospects in years. Howes, who hails from Kirkland Lake, Ontario, is actually a junior, but under a five year program has a full three years of eligibility ahead of him. He will be an able replacement for Willie Ikola whose goaltending helped Michigan to three National championships. Rookie Line Looms In Michigan's only other line are three rookies. Heyliger plans to use swift Tommy Rendall of Win- nepeg at center, flanked by George Dunningan and Gerry Karpinka. As far as defense goes,, newcom- ers Bob Shiller, Bernie Hanna and Bob Pitts will hold forth almost en- tirely, for Heyliger has moved vet- eran defenseman Neil Buchanan into his other front line. This then is the extent of Mich- igan's 1954-55 squad - only seven forwards, three defensemen, and two goalies. On these twelve rug- ged gentlemen lies the hope of re- newing the phenomenal string of seven successive bids to the Na- tional Championships held every year in Colorado Springs, Colorado. To gain their eighth straight bid and chance to shoot at their fifth national title in eight years, the Wolverines must finish first or second in a league with such rug- ged competition as Minnesota, North Dakota, Colorado College, Denver University, Michigan State, and Michigan Tech. Can this be done with the loss of twelve men from last season's 17 man roster? Gone through gradua- Battle, 18-6 By HAP ATHERTON Icy winds didn't stop four pro- fessional fraternity and four so- cial fraternity football teams yes- terday as they battled through third and fourth place playoffs. The third place playoff game found Alpha Phi Alpha Social pit- ted against Phi Kappa Sigma. The duel was. fought to a tie, but the Alpha Phi Alpha team moved the pigskin to the Phi Kappa Sigma's two yard line in overtime to give them a 1-0 victory. Twice the winners were in scor- ing position, but couldn't capital- ize on the opportunities. Late in the first half they moved the ball 'to the Phi Kappa Sigma's four yard line, but lost the ball on a pass interception in the end zone. Alpha Iappa Psi scored its first touchdown in two years against Alpha Rho Chi in a fourth place playoff, but it was little consola- tion for the 27-6 drubbing it took. Stan Bohinc scored all the points for Alpha Rho Chi. He gave the squad a 7-0 half time lead on a three yard plunge through the center of the line into the end zone. In the second half he passed to Carl Goldberg, Har- ry Montague, and Fred Stephen- son for three more TDs., Psi Omega downed Alpha Ome- ga, 19-6, in the other professional fraternity fourth place playoff. Larry Kinstle sparked the win- ners to their victory. Lee Krumbholz paced the Chi Phis in an 18-6 win over Theta Delta Chi in a social fraternity fourth place playoff. Dropping back to pass on the Theta Delta Chi five yard line, he found his receivers covered,dso he carried the ball to pay dirt himself. A' thirty yard aerial from Krumb- holz to Pete Geis in the end zone provided the necessary margin for victory. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.' 7. 8.

Can the master touch of Heylig- er, who last season was named col- legiate hockey's "Coach of the Year," turn this team of rookies into another Wolverine power- house?

But Don Berger, promis- ing sophomore center from Phila- delphia, went down during the workout with a knee injury.

By JOHN SCHELDRUP Sports Editor The Daily Illini CHAMPAIGN-URBANA -- Some 61,000 gleeful spectators were fil- ing from Minneapolis' Memorial Stadium immediately following the Golden Gophers' 19-6 defeat dealt Illinois on Oct. 16. The announce- ment was made that on the Sat- urday following, Minnesota would be up at Michigan for a home- coming duel to determine which of the two would remain unbeaten in '54 conference play. "Watch that one!" someone up in the press box advisedl. "Ooster- baan's team is a lot better than a lotta people expected." Needless to say, our friend, Sports Editor Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune, was not alone in his high regard for the Wolver- ines. Only a 26-7 loss to Army marred an enviable record which included a 14-13 victory over Iowa. Is Michigan Tough? As it turned out, what was ex- pected to prove a close one up at Ann Arbor was little less than a rout as Michigan won, 34-0. To win was not an upset by any measure, but the proportions caused many of the nation's football eyebrows to raise in awe. Was Minnesota that bad? . . . Or was Michigan that good? Naturally, our sole criteria for judgment of the Wolverines is what we hear from the experienced and read in the newspapers. We'll re- serve final opinion on the Wolver- ines' calibre until we have the opportunity to see for ourselves- this Saturday. Past results con- firm that anything can and has happened in the unpredictable Michigan- Illinois series, however, and this weekend's game should prove no exception. It's no secret that the Illini will enter Saturday's game anywhere from two to three-touchdown un- derdogs. We at Illinois like to feel there's no such thing as an under- dog in an Illinois-Michigan contest. The Wolverines haven't defeated the Illini since '49 and we predict more trouble in '54. Everyone is wondering what has happened to Illinois this season. Co-champions with Michigan State last year, the football swamis foresaw Illinois as championship shoo-ins this time around, appar- ently because of one J. C. Caro- line's name on the Illini register. They're asking why Caroline isn't racking up yardage as he did in his soph year. Coach Ray Eliot, out of necessity caused by gradua- tions, injuries, etc., has been forced to go along with inexper- ienced linemen who've had con- siderable difficulty providing open- ings for J. C. Illini Triple-Threat Accept it from this source, Caro- line is much more valuable to his Illini teammates this year as now he plays in the role of a triple- threat. Always troublesome when reaching the secondary, Caroline now rates as one of the Big 10's standout punters and defensive halfbacks. With Abe Woodson, conference hurdles champ, and Mickey Bates along with Mr. Caroline in the first backfield, anything can happen. Granted, this Illini team is un- representative of those in recent years. It is weak at the end, tackle and quarterback positions but, nevertheless, will give the Wol- verines trouble Saturday and would like nothing better than to return here with a victory over Michigan. A win here would turn a dismal season into a successful one over- night. Why Poor Showing Because of its unexpectedly poor showing thus far, many explana- tions are given for Illinois' 1-5 rec- ord. There are those who say it's all due to a tremendous lack of team spirit and morale. There are also those who blame it all on too much pre-season publicity given the team in general, Caroline in particular. By the same token, it has been said the Illini resent Caroline's newsworthiness; even that Eliot is going about his job in the wrong manner. As regards the latter, we like to feel Eliot is among the best in his business along with your Bennie, William- son, Holcomb and Evashevski. Whatever the case may be, dis- regard pre-game records. They're not worth much at kick-off time. We guarantee this: Illinois has been a constantly improving team, though progress has been slow, and will be psychologically "up" for Michigan. As aforementioned, anything can happen! SPORTS' UNSUNG HEROES: Student Officials Brave All Hardships To Referee Various I-M Athletic Events I I By DICK CRAMER L s Proverbially, the unsung heroes of any sports event are the men who referee or umpire the proceed- ings. This idea is most strikingly illus- trated in the situation involving the officials of the Athletic Depart- ment's intramural sports program. These men, all students of the Uni- versity, serve an average of sev- en hours a week enforcing the rules of the various sports includ- ed in the intramural setup. Yet, their names never are included in reports of the games. Waleryszak Leads Group At the present time, 16 men, un- der the leadership of Dave Walery- szak, are officiating I-M games. Waleryszak, a teaching fellow in the Physical Education Depart- ment, has praised his men for their "willingness to work in all kinds of weather and in the tens- est of situations." Remarkably, very few protests have been lodged against the I-M officials. This is despite their rela- tive inexperience as arbiters, and the occasionally confusing rules of I-M play. Of the few protests which have been made so far this year, only one has been upheld. During the football season, the referees have been subjected to unusual hardships by the weather. Working three or four afternoons a week, they have had to endure conditions which many of the com- peting players found intolerable even for one afternoon. The long rainy spell, which Ann Againi The injury jinx, which has been knocking Michigan all season, took its toll again yes- terday and sidelined Jim Bates, senior center. Bates, plagued by injury throughout his collegiate career, ran a high temperature and was taken to the hospital. The Wolverine center was ex- pected to be released sometime today if nothing new develops, but it is not known whether he will be able to play in the Illi- nois contest. Arbor experienced a couple of weeks ago, formed several shal- low pools on South Ferry Field, where the I-M's outdoor games are played. It was in these puddles that our referee heroes were forced to make decisions for two games each day. Now, cold weather and, possibly, snow are making the of- ficials' job a difficult one. Sixteen In All Just who are the impartial judges of intramural sports? Eight men have had experience from past years. In this group are Bob Doherty, Harold Jokela, Dick Wil- son, Pat Reilly, Bob Brand, Chuck Boyd, Bob Hitchmough, and Les- ter Nelson. Rounding out the staff are eight newcomers: Don Wittenber'g, Tom Benner, Stan Whitman, Chuck Schweim, Dave Seitz, Matt Shad- eck, Joe Pagen, and Al Shafer. HAIRCUTS at a Moment's Notice!
