As Wolverine Hockey Season Draws Near
'Number 76' Is Key Figure in 'M' Line;

Michigan hockey coach Vic Hey-
liger made another move yesterday
to strengthen his latest Wolverine
ice squad by combining youth with
experience.
Heyliger moved veteran captain
Bill MacFarland into the center
slot of his rookie line, between
wingers Gerry Karpinka a n d
George Dunningan, and at the
same time inserted rookie center
Tommy Rendall between veterans
Neil Buchanan and Jay Goold in
his other line.
The move came as Michigan's
icers looked forward to itsglast
weekend of rest, for the rugged 23
game schedule gets under way a
week from Friday, as McGill Uni-
versity invades the Coliseum for a
two game exhibition series.
No Quantity, Much Quality
Heyliger is both optimistic and
pessimistic about the coming sea-
son. "What we lack in quantity, we
sure have in quality" said the gen-
ial coach. This fact is borne out by
the presence of only 11 men on the
varsity squad, now that winger
Yves Herbert is out of the lineup,
at least for awhile.
Hebert suffered a concussion last
week in practice, and is still in
University Hospital. This leaves
Michigan with only six forwards,
three defensemen and two goalies
-period. Heyliger is dreading us-
ing such a thin team in the rarified
atmosphere of Colorado, where the
Wolverines open the Western Hock-
ey League season over Christmas
Vacation.
On the other hand, two things
seem to be in favor of the Wolver-
ines, who will be bidding for their
eighth successive trip to the NCAA
playoffs in Colorado Springs next
March.
Keep Your Eye on These
The first factor is quality. Heylig-
er has some of the finest players
- in years on his squad. MaeFar-
land is a cinch for All-American
honors if he repeats his spectacu-1
,
lar performance of last season.
Rookie goalie Lorne Howes is
called by many observers the fin-
est goaltending prospect in colle-
giate hockey today.hRookie center
Tommy Rendall has especially
pleased Heyliger-for he has shown
magnificent speed, stickhandling,
playmaking, and shooting during
the pre-season drills.
Another element which will work
to Michigan's advantage is addi-
tional help which will arrive at
mid-semester. At this time, Bu-
chanan's twin brother, Mike, be-
comes eligible, and this huge
blonde speedster will add much
needed depth and luster to the
Maize and Blue attack. Also a dis-
tinct possibility is that Telly Mas-
carin, now ineligible for scholas-
tic reasons, will be able to play
There will be a 'M' Club
meeting next Tuesday, Nov. 30,
at 7:30 p.m. in Yost Field
House. Annual picture will be
taken so please bring 'M' sweat-
ers.
--Andy Kaul
come next February, when Michi-
gan heads into the stretch run.
These two men, along with a heal-
thy Hebert, could give Michigan
three solid lines, and could make
the Wolverines a definite contend-
er.
Heyliger pointed out even an-
other factor which may make
Michigan's task a bit easier, the
better balance in the Western
Hockey League. For the first time
in years, every team in the league
is very strong-strong enough to
gain a playoff berth by finishing
first or second.
Gophers Growl
Up at Minneapolis, John Mariuc-
ci's Gophers are on the warpath
again . . . with John Mayasich,
Ken Yackel, and John Mattson
heading the returnees. Over at
Grand Forks, the Nodaks of North
Dakota are beating the war-drums,
as Spike Shultz and Ben Cherski
add veteran strength to "Fido"
Purpurs' dangerous squad. In
Houghton, Michigan, M i c h i g a n
Tech's Huskies have a "real ball
club" for the first time in years,
according to Heyliger.
Michigan State, with Weldy Ol-
sen, John Mayes, Ed Schiller and
other stars returning, will be bet-
ter than last year, when they gave
the Wolverines fits. Heyliger also
points a wary finger at the Colo-
rado teams. Both Denver and Col-
orado College have tough and vet-
eran teams-good enough to take
all the bunting.
How then, can Michigan expect
to benefit from all this competi-
tion? Heyliger points out, that this
year as never before, these other
teams will be "cutting their own
throats" in a "dog-eat-dog" race,
and no team will get 'fat" at the
cost of the league's weak sisters.
Michigan, while losing its share,
may not lose any more than most
other teams, and thus be in thick
of the race all the way.
This is the way the race shapes
up to Heyliger, who has led Michi-
gan hockey teams to the most'
glorious era in its history. Can he
do it again? We can only wait and
see.

G. Edgar Meads, this year's
starting right guard, is the new
captain-elect of the 1955 Michigan
football team.
In a squad meeting held yester-
day afternoon, the Oxford, Michi-
gan, junior was selected by his
teammates to succeed this/!year's
captain, Ted Cachey; and, in the
words of Coach Bennie Ooster-
baan, "to follow in the line of all
great Michigan leaders."
Fred Baer was selected as the
"most valuable player."
Oosterbaan commented on
Meads by saying, "Besides being
an excellent player, he is also a
fine leader and a fine citizen."
Meads has performed consistently'
all season and ranks as one of the
most improved ballplayers on the
team.
Originally a tackle in his sopho-
more year, Meads was shifted this
fall to the guard position by Line
Coach Jack Blott, and has started
ever since.
Tipping the scales at 200 pounds,
the 6-foot, 20-year old lineman's
full name is actually George Edgar
Meads, but he retains only the ini-
tial of his first name. To Michigan
football fans, however, he's recog-
nized as "number 76."
As a letterwinner on the 1953.
Varsity, Meads saw limited action
at the tackle slot, playing 26 min-
ness in recovering a Northwestern
fumble 'to set-up the only score of
the game played at Evanston on
October 16.
After Northwestern had started
to move at the end of the first half
only to be stopped by the Wolver-
ine defense, Meads brought the
big break of the game by pouncing
on a Northwestern fumble on the
second play of the second quarter.
Michigan took over the ball on the
Wildcat 24-yard line, and eight
plays later, Danny Cline scored,
Kramer added the extra point and
Michigan had a 7-0 margin that
was to be the final score.
The other award was -bestowed
upon senior fullback Fred Baer,
who was selected as the "most
valuable player."
Forced to take a back seat to
Dick Balzhiser and Bob Hurley
last season, Baer finally had a
chance to come into his own this
year. The 5-foot 11-inch, blond sen-
ior became a key man in the Maize
and Blue offense by picking up the
needed short yardage all season
long. Baer was particularly out-
standing in the 14-13 upset of Iowa.
During the season, Baer aver-
aged about four yards per carry,
gaining 372 net yards rushing in
seven Big Ten games to rank
sixth in the conference.
A final announcement named Cap
Grathwohl, '56, as next year's sen-
ior manager.

Varsity Cagers Smash
Freshman Team, 92-49
By JACK HORWITZ
Michigan's varsity basketball
squad romped over a defenseless
freshman team, 92-49, before ap-
proximately three hundred fans in
Yost Field House last night.
Coach Bill Perigo, starting the
same lineup that he used most of
last season, was pleased by the
fine work of sophomore Jim Shear-
on, who came into the game mid-
way in the first half and immedi-
ately took the spotlight.

ties with Don Eaddy and Jim Bar-

ron, missed only one shot as he
tallied 12 points. His defensive
work was excellent, according to
Perigo, and he showed a lot of
drive.
Barron, the game leading scorer
with 25 points, also displayed much
of the defensive work he showed
Wolverine cage fans last season.
After the Varsity cagers opened
up a 12 point lead, Perigo sent
Shearon and Ron Kramer into the
game. Kramer, who is reported to
be one of the finest rebounders inI
this area, has practiced for only
two days and tired very fast. He
has just started practicing after
finishing a great year at end on
the Wolverine gridiron squad.
Perigo used two other sopho-
mores in the game who have shown
great promise. Milt Lingle and
Bob Sharland entered the game in
the first half but saw only limited
action.
Captain Paul Groffsky, with 10
points, showed the only rebounding
strength, scoring several off the
backboards. Eaddy, with 12 points,
displayed a good set shot.
For the freshmen, Bil Rorabach'
tallied 19 points before he fouled

Ten in total offense, gaining a
total of 520 yards in seven games.
'en Dawson, sensational Purdue
sophomore, was the leader with a
net of 924 yards gained via his
passing.
Cline .also rated third in both
kickoff and punt return yardage,
and ninth in the Conference in
passing.
Kramer Rolls
Sophomore left end Ron Kram-

"He's cute," said one coed to another.
"Umm, hmm, but he's crazy," replied Coed Two.
"Crazy how?" asked the first.
"Well, for one thing, look how he dresses. He has a whole
wardrobe of those perfectly stunning Van Heusen
Vanahue shirts .,. you know the beautiful colored ones
with the wonderful collar styles, those short ones and
button-downs and spreads and everything?"
"He must be loaded," commented No. 1. "He's really
cute."
"Silly. You don't have to be rich to own Vanahue Shirts.
They may look like custom shirts, but they oabv cost $3.95.,;
"So what's so crazy?"
"Look at him," replied No. 2. He's got on that lovely
green Vanahue with a blue suit.'
"I don't care. He's cute."
"But he could wear almost any of his othersa: the pink,
the yellow, the blue, or even the vintage. It's only
because he's nuts."
Shortly thereafter, our No. 1 girl met the freshman in
question at the drug store. With astonishing tact, she
said: "My girl friend thinks you're nuts."
"So does my room-mate," he replied sadly;
"Why?"
"Just because I like pancakes."
"I love pancakes," she answered.
"You do? Well, gee, come over to the fraternity house.
I've got trunks of 'em."
"You're cute," she sAid.
