SATUSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY i _ OSUArkansas Face Threat To Winning Streaks * * * * * * Buckeyes, Razorbacks Clash With Pittsburgh, Rice Elevens 67 By The Associated Press COLUMBUS - Ohio State's un- beaten Bucks, their sights set on the Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl bid, aren't taking Pittsburgh's Panthers lightly in today's foot- ball fracas. * The game has no bearing on Ohio's championship hopes, but an upset at the hands of the 13-point underdog Pitt team could be hu- miliating. Two years ago, in the last meeting of the. teams, Pitt surprised with a 21-14 triumph, and the year before fell by only 16-14. 80,000 Expected Starting time has been moved up to 1:30 p.m. (EST), and a crowd of more. than 80,000 will sit in on the fray-largest turnout for a Panther-Buck contest. Pitt lost its first three games, then won the next three after Tom Hamilton moved in as substitute for ailing coach Red Dawson. Ohio has won six in a row. Two weeks ago Pitt whipped Northwestern 14- 7, and last week Ohio did it by the same score against the only mutual opponent. Upset Is Possible But the Panthers did a more workmanlike job than the Bucks against the Evanston Wildcats, hleading to the belief an upset might be in the offing. Against Northwestern Pitt had a 20-10 edge in first downs, Ohio 14- 14. Pitt gained 277 on the ground and held the 'Cats to 97, while Ohio rambled for only 178 and allowed 100. Northwestern passed for 100 yards against Ohio, and only 57 against Pitt. Ohio is a bit battered, with half- back Hopalong Cassidy, end Dick Brubaker, guard Jim Parker and centers Bob Thornton and Bud i TOUCHDOWN THREAT-Mickey Bates, who teams with Illinois halfbacks J. C. Caroline and Abe Woodson to form one of the na- tion's most potent backfield combinations, faces Michigan this afternoon at the Stadium. Bates was switched from right half- back, where he played last season, to fullback in order to make room for sophomore Woodson. JIM BATES ED HICKEY The injury list remains the same as Hickey returns to the lineup and Bates leaves the football field for the hospital bed. Tony Bran- off will also miss today's game. His knee is scheduled to be oper- ated on Monday.

Eliot Predicts Illini Win Eliot has come out and flatly predicted that his Fighting Illini will take this one. Earlier in the week he was quoted in Champaign as- saying "Our kids are coming. It isn't too late for us to win a few. We'll start against Michi- gan." Eliot didn't appear quite so con- fident yesterday afternoon as his squad worked out in the Stadium, for he indicated that the status of Caroline, the star halfback who I Lineups MICHIGAN Kramer Walker Cachey Snider Meads Geyer Maentz Baldacci Cline Shannon Baer Pos. LE LT LG C RG RT RE QB LH RH FB ILLINOIS Renn Oliver Smid Cbamblin Tate Siegert Nosek Lindbeck Jefferson Woodson .Bates was heavily counted on to stop the Illini running attack. Gene Snider, a sophomore who has seen considerable action in earlier games, will fill in for Bates. Ed Shannon will take over Branoff's wingback spot, with assistance from Ed Hickey, who is still both- ered by a broken rib, and George. Corey. Jerry Williams also remains on the injured list, which means that Tom Maentz will again start at right end. With Ron Geyer re- placing John Morrow at right tackle, the rest of the' team will line up as'usual, with Ted Catchey and Ed Meads at the guards, Art Walker and Ron Kramer at tackle and end on the left side of the line, Lou Baldacci at quarterback, Fred Baer at full, and Dan Cline at left half. In a series which started in 1898 with a 12-5 Wolverine win, Michigan holds a substantial 25- 14 edge in total victories over the Illini. Illinois Seeks to Extend String Starting in 1950 Illinois has triumphed 7-0, 7-0, 22-13, and 19-3 respectively, with the pair of 7-0 games played in snowstorms. This year the Wolverines have been alternately hot and cold as they opened with a shaky 14-0 win over Washington, lost a 26-7 de- bacle to Army, surprised Iowa's powerful Hawkeyes 14-13, slip- ped by Northwestern 7-0, routed previously unbeaten Minnesota 34-0, and then became an upset- victim themselves when Indiana halted them, 13-9, last week. Meanwhile the Illini have been consistently on the .losing side of the ledger. For the first time in a football history that began in 1890, Illinois dropped its first four games, to Penn State, Stanford, Ohio State, and Minnesota. The victory over Syracuse preceded last week's 28-14 loss to Purdue. Bond due for curtailed service. Pitt is at the peak, physically. * * * LITTLE ROCK - Undefeated Ar- kansas and the Rice Owls clash here today with the football cham- pionship of the Southwest Confer- ence standing as a possible prize for the victor. A victory for the Razorbacks, winners of six straight this year, will leave them needing no mpre than a tie with Southern Methodist to win their first title since 1946. SMU, which plays Texas A&M to- morrow, is unbeaten in conference play, but has been tied by Texas. Rice Must Win Rice, which has lost one confer- ence game, must win today to re- tain any hope of taking the championship. The game will maten Rice's bril- liant offense, led by All-America candidate Dicky Moegle, against an Arkansas defense which has al- lowed an average of only 7.8 points per game. * * * NORFOLK -- Duke's Blue Dev- ils are a shaky three-point favorite to prevail over battling Navy and thus improve their chances of gain- ing an Orange Bowl bid when the two teams collide here today. Kickoff time for the "Oyster Bowl" game on Foreman field, a charity contest for the benefit of Shrine hospital, is 2:15 p.m. "Ridiculous" is what Duke coach Bill Murray has tabbed his team's role as favorite despite the Blue Devils' record of four victor- ies, a tie and a single loss. And coach Eddie Erdelatz of Navy agrees that his Middies, the na- tion's top team in total defense with a per-game yield of only 160.2 yards, are a good bet to spring an upset. Phi Delts Beat ZBT; Sam mies Trounce Delts Sigma Alpha Mu and Phi Delta Theta entered into the Fraternity grid final by winning their semi-fi- nals yesterday afternoon at South Ferry Field. Swaney Stars With Rusty Swaney pitching and Chuck Hoag and Doug Lawrence catching, the Phi Delta Theta sev- en blanked Zeta Beta Tau, 15-0, to gain a berth in the first-place play- off championship finale. Hoag tal- lied in the first half for the Phi Delts, with Lawrence notching a TD in the second. Frank Moore trapped the ZBT tailback ih his own end zone for a safety. In a battle in which only the sec- ond half was played, Sigma Alpha Mu trounced Delta Tau Delta, 27-6. Although the game was played in its entirety last week, it was played in two 15-minute halves. Under the official I-M league ruling, all play- off games are to be divided into four 10-minute quarters. It was ruled that the second half be replayed, with the Sammies lead- ing, 7-0. The Sammies built up their 7-0 advantage, however, as Warren Wertheimer pitched touchdown aer- ials to Mike Waxberg, Tom Kovan, and Bruce Stiglitz, and two extra points to Paul Richman, who also grabbed a Wertheimer pass in the first half. 0 filter tip Cigareltes haven't got?

Giants Face Steelers In Crucial NFL, Game; Lions Battle Colts; Rams To Oppose 49ers By The Associated Press < The Eastern Division lead in tl e National Football League will t 3 at stake tomorrow when the New York Giants invade Pittsburgh for a game with the Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Chicago Cardinals. Three-Way Tie The Giants, Steelers and Eagles are tied for the division lead with Identical 4-2 records. In other games, the San Fran- cisco 49ers, battling champion Detroit for the top spot in the Western Division, play the Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco; the Washington Redskins meet the (4 - Browns at Cleveland, and the Green Bay Packers have a Chi- cago date with the Bears. Giants Underdogs The big game is at Pittsburgh where the Steelers rule a five- point favorite over the Giants, who were clipped by the Cleveland Browns a week ago 24-14. The Eagles, although two touch- down favorites, may have their hands full in the Cardinals, who upset the Steelers last Sunday 17-14. That was the Cards' first victory in six starts. The Browns are 17-point favor- ites over the battered Redskins, who have only one victory to show for six games. The 49ers will be without Hugh McElhenny, their star running back, in the game with the Rams but are encouraged by the return of Gordy Soltau, their ace kicker. The Rams have won two games and lost three. has stood out on defense as well as on offense this year, is bothered' by a pinched shoulder nerve and may see only limited action. It was the All-American's run- ning that was largely responsible' for Illinois' 19-3 victory last year. With center Jim Bates ill and confined to Health Service and Tony Branoff in the hosjital and tentatively scheduled to receive a knee operation Monday, the Wolverines will enter their seventh straight game without their start- ing lineup intact.
