By DON LINDMAN
Bookmakers and football fore-
casters undoubtedly breathed a
sigh of relief as the 1954 Big Ten
grid campaign came to a close
with the four Conference contests
played last Saturday.
As Ohio State closed out an un-
beaten season "-and annexed its
ninth Western Conference grid
crown by edging Michigan, 21-7,
football fans all across the na-'
tion could only shake their heads
in amazement as they scanned the
final Big Ten standings.
OSU Cops Title
They saw Ohio State, an also-
ran in the pre-season polls, firm-
ly entrenched in the number one
spot, reigning as the Western
Conference king. Michigan, con-
signed to the second division by
the experts, was in the fight for
the crown until thp final few min-
utes of the season, and managed
to grab a share of second place.
In fourth place in the standings
the fans saw Minnesota, destined'
to finish no higher than seventh
according to the pre-season prog-
nosticators.
Michigan State and Illinois, co-
champions last year and two of the
favorites this season, found out
what the other end of the stand-
ings is like. The highly-touted Il-
lini failed to win a Conference
game and dropped from last year's
spot on top of the standings to the
mire of the Big Ten basement this
season.
Dropping two crucial tilts to
Iowa and Wisconsin at the start
of the season, the Spartans never;
recovered, and only a shaky win
over Indiana kept them from shar-
ing the cellar with Ray Eliot's
eleven.
Among the top four teams in
the start of the season, only Wis-
consin was able to justify its rat-1
ing, moving into a tie for sec-
ond by its win over Minnesota. Io-
wa, the fourth squad, finished in
fifth place by virtue of a good
start and a good finish, which
sandwiched three miserable mid-
season games.
Season of Upsets
The Big Ten season proved to
be poison for the forecasters. One
national grid magazine, which
specializes in predicting the out-
come of every game before the
fall practice sessions even begin,
missed on 17 of the 32 Conference
contests.
Gazing at the Big Ten sched-
ule in the heat of August, few ex-
perts would have been brave
enough to predict Michigan to beat'
Iowa, Ohio State to top Wiscon-
sin, or Northwestern and Ohio
State to both topple the Illini. As'
the season developed, these were
only four of the many upsets
which Big Ten fans witnessed.
Wolverines
Gain Honors
Michigan's End Ron Kramer and
Tackle Art Walker were named to
the first teams., of two all-Big Ten
grid squads announced yesterday.
Both prospective all-Americans,
Kramer and Walker gained the Big
Ten honors in the Associated Press
survey as well as in the first an-
nual poll of Western Conference
sports editors. Kramer's total of 17
points in the editors' poll was sec-
ond only to Alan (the Horse) Ame-
che, who was a unanimous choice.
Ohio State placed three players
~on the first teams of both polls.
Wisconsin and Purdue joined Mich-
igan in providing two members
apiece. Cal Jones was Iowa's only
representative on both honor
squads. Minnesota and Michigan
State shared the remaining spot,
eachtplacing a man on one of the
two teams.
No Wolverines were chosen to
either survey's second team, but
five of Bennie Oosterbaan's prote-
ges were awarded Honorable Men-
tion by the AP. They included Cap-
tain Ted Cachey at tackle, Jim
Bates at center, and backs Lou
Baldacci, Fred Baer, and Dan
Cline.
The AP's first team lines up
as follows:
Ends-Dean Dugger, Ohio State,
and Ron Kramer, Michigan.
Tackles-Art Walker, Michigan,
and Dick Hilinski, Ohio State.
Guards-Cal Jones, Iowa, and
Tom Bettis, Purdue.
Center - Gary Messner, Wiscon-
sin.r
Backs - Len Dawson, Purdue;
Howie Cassady, Ohio State;
Bob Mc Namara, Minnesota;
and Alan Ameche, Wisconsin.

Faces Freshmen Today
Coach Bill Perigo will 'unveil the

ketball team to the public tonight

sity cagers meet a spirited fresh-
man five coached by Dave Strack.
lot of action. Three players, Jim
Barron, Don Eaddy, and Jim
Shearon will share the duties at the
guard slots.
Harvey Williams, the lanky 6-8
Junior from Louisville, Ky., will
start at center. Williams, who has
been working hard since practice
began, has, as Perigo noted,
"greatly improved over last year."
Captain Paul Groffsky will hold
down one of the forward positions
and Tom Jorgenson and Miller
Lingle will alternate at the other.
It is debatable as to how much ac-
tion Jorgenson and Lingle will see
in tonight's contest.
Jorgenson Troubled By Injury
Jorgenson, who averaged 12.3
points per game last season, has
been sidelined with a sprained
ankle and "charley horse," sus-
tained in the intramural football fi-
nals. The injury has slowed him
down and he is still sub-par physi-
cally. Lingle, a sophomore, has
also been plagued with a sprained
ankle.
Others who are sure to see some
action this evening are Bob Shar-
land, a sophomore from Ishpem-
ing, and senior Bruce Allen. .
Gridders Ron Kramer and Tom
Maentz have taken a "vacation"
and will not report for practice un-
til Friday. It is hoped by the coach-
ing staff that Kramer will be able
to work himself into shape quickly;
for the Detroit star is expected to
help most where the Wolverines
are woefully weak: in the rebound-
ing department.
TOM JORGENSON

The game, a full-length affair,
gets underway at 8 and will be free
to the general public.

cided who will be in the lineup
when the contest begins, there are

Win. NCAA Meet
EAST LANSING (R") - Allen
Frame, the Big Seven champ from
Kansas University, crossed the
tape ahead of a bunched group of
othersectional favorites to win
the 16th annual NCAA crd'ss coun-
try run yesterday with a fast time
of 19:54.2.
Oklahoma A&M with a low of
61 points, won the team title
from defending champion Kansas,
which placed fourth.
After running with the pack
most of the way, Frame put on a
kick in the last half mile of the
four-mile distance to finish about
35 yards in front of George King
of NYU, in second place.
Michigan's Coach Don Canham
did not enter the Wolverines in
the meet, but instead gave them
a well-earned rest until after
Thanksgiving vacation when the
track season will get into full
swing.
Frank Eckhoff of Oklahoma
A&M was third, George Terry of
Boston University forth and Ar-
nold Sowell of Pittsburgh fifth.

onto the field for a touchback.
In the Western Division, the
Lions edged still closer to an un-
precedented third straight title.
Bobby Layne tossed two scoring
passes as the champs nipped
Green Bay, 21-17. Any combina-
tion of Lion wins and 49er de-
feats totalling two, will give Bud-
dy Parker his third championship.
Ollie Matson crossed paydirt
four times to pace the Chicago
Cardinals to a 38-16 decision over
the Washington Redskins. It was
only the second victory of the year
for the Cards.
In other games, the Chicago
Bears stopped Baltimore, 28-13,
and San Francisco blasted Pitts-
burgh, 31-3.

COLLEGE SMOKERS PREFER Luckies-and by a wide
margin-according to the largest and latest coast-to-coast
college survey. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste
better. They taste better because Lucky Strike means fine
tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
"It's Toasted"- the famous Lucky Strike process - tones
up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste
even better. The pleasure you'll get from Luckies' better
taste is vividly depicted in the Droodle above, titled:
