Michigan's shorthanded ice forc- es marshall what ever strength they have this week as they swing into their final drills before plung- ing headlong into a rugged twen- ty-three game schedule. McGill's Redmen are first to test Vic Heyliger's 1954-55 edition when they come into the Coliseum this Friday and Saturday nights for a two game exhibition series. Last year, the Wolverines and Redmen divided the pair, with Michigan winning the opener, 7-2, and dropping the second game, 7-5. Redmen Look Rugged According to reports from Mon- treal, the Redmen are slightly smaller than last year, but a lot faster. Coach Rocky Robillard has seven returning veterans, includ- ing Pete Jotkus, Gord Corrue, Guy Burgoin, Ron Robertson, Dick Baltzan, Johnny Henderson, and Frank Slavin. Robertson is the most valuable man from last year's team, and along with Baltzan, led the on- slaught in their second game win over Michigan last year. McGill, playing its home games in the huge Montreal Forum, the home of the Montreal Canadiens, already boast one victory this year. The Redmen slammed the Loy- ola Warriers, 5-0, as Jotkus, Bur- goin, and Baltzan scored. Michigan meanwhile must rely on only two lines, one composed of Bill MacFarland, George Dun- ningan, and Gerry Karpinka, the other consisting of Tommy Ren- dall, Jay Goold, and Neil Buchan- an. Ed Schiller, Bernie Hannah, and Bob Pitts will be on defense, with Lorne Howes in the nets. The game will be the first of four exhibition tilts, the next pair coming on Dec. 10 and 11th, here against Montreal University. The Maize and Blue will open its West- ern Hockey League campaign over the Christmas Holidays when they travel west to take on the Colo- rado College Tigers and the Den- ver Pioneers. NEW YORK ( - - Rose Bowl bound Ohio State yesterday was named as the 1954 national colle- giate football champion and win- ner of the O'Donnell Memorial Tro- phy. At the same time, final standings revealed the Michigan Wolverines esconced in fifteenth place in the national ratings. The Maize and Entries are now being taken for the all-campus wrestling tournament. Those interested may sign up at the I-M office. -Bob Welke Blue wound up the season with a 6-3 record, the poorest of the top 20, but excellent performances against top teams gave the Wol- verines a higher place than other squads with better records. In the final Associated Press ranking poll of the season, the na- tion's sports writers and broad- casters, casting a record-breaking ballot, named Ohio's Buckeyes by a slim margin over UCLA of 3,670 points to 3,594. These two unbeaten teams had made it a race all through the closing weeks of the season, with OSU slipping into the .lead weeks ago and holding on to the finish. Oklahoma, the only other major team to finish the season unbeaten and untied, finished a strong third, the position it had held since mid- season. A total of 408 votes were cat in the season's final ranking poll and exactly half of them listed Ohio State first. UCLA drew 133 first place votes. But the point score on' the usual basis of 10 for each first place vote, 9 for second etc. made it even closer. Previous High Was 376 The previous record vote was 376 ballots cast in last year's final AP poll, when Maryland edged out Notre Dame for the national cham- pionship, Thetop ranking earned Ohio State its first leg on the Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell Memorial Trophy, the championship emblem present- ed by Notre Dame after it had re- tired the Williams Trophy in 1947 by winning it three times. No team has won the current trophy more than twice. Ohio State, as Big Ten Confer- ence champion, will play South- ern California, runnerup in the Pa- cific Coast Conference, in the Rose Bowl New Year's Day. UCLA, win- ning its second straight Pacific Coast title, is ineligible to return to the Rose Bowl. Southern Cali- fornia placed 17th in the final ranking. Oklahbma, perennial Big Seven champion, also is ineligible for a bowl game, having played in the Orange Bowl last New Year's Day. Behind the unbeaten big three in the final ranking came - Notre Dame, Navy, Mississippi, Army, Tickets for the Michigan home hockey games will go on sale the day ofgthegame in the Athletic Administration Build- ing from 8:30 to 4:30. After that time tickets will be avail- able,.at the hockey rink. -Don Weir Maryland, Wisconsin and Arkan- sas, in order, the complete first 10.

Hoping to better its second, place finish of last year, the 1955 edition of the Michigan wrestling team will make its first appearance of the season at Purdue on the Saturday following Christmas va-' cation. In the Big Ten Championships which were held last March in' East Lansing, the Michigan squad took second place with a total of 22 points' behind Purdue's firstl place effort of 26 points. In doing' this the Wolverines captured two championship crowns and placed several other men in the scoring column. Leading the matmen this year. will be senior Andy Kaul who is now in his fourth year of inter- collegiate competition. Kaul wres- ties in the 137-pound division and captured the Conference crown in this event last year when he de- feated Len Vyskoseil of North- western, 4-1. Then in the NCAA meet held three weeks later in Norman, Oklahoma, he finished in fourth place in the 137-pound division after losing to Ed Eichel-, berger of Lehigh in the semi-finals.

For the last two years, the De- troit Lions and the Cleveland Browns have battled in the Na- tional Football League champion- ship game. With a little more than three-quarters of the action- packed league schedule gone by the boards, it is almost a certain- ty that both the Lions and the Browns will be fighting for the crown again. The Browns now lead their clos- et rivals-the Giants and the Ea- gles who are tied for second-by 12 games, and two in the all-im- portant losing column. To cap- ture the Eastern Division flag the Browns must win two or their re-1 maining three games. This is, of course, assuming that either the Giants or the Eagles will not drop a game. Cleveland will have to win but two tilts out of three to cap- ture the flag. One win more will give the Browns a tie. Lions Title Cinch Detroit is a cinch to capture the Western Division title. The Lions lead their closest rival by 22 games and need only one victory in four games to garner another title. Cleveland obtained its enviable position by blasting the New York Giants, 16-7. The score, however, is not indicative of the way in which the winners dominated the game. The Browns, led by the "three G's"-Otto Graham, Lou Groza, and Horace Gillom, scored early and quickly, and then coast- ed in. Graham completed 16 passes, good for 210 yards, and scored his team's only touchdown; Groza was the high scorer as he booted three field goals and one extra point; Gillom, got off several booming punts, one for 80 yards, to push the Giants back into their terri- tory. The New Yorkers were hamper- ed by the loss of their ace back,' Frank Gifford, and their top quar- terback, Chuck Conerly, who was, injured on the first play of the} game. Conerly's replacement, Bob- by Clatterbuck, was a poor replace- ment, as he could only pick up 68 yards through the airlanes. Without Gifford to lead the way, the Giant running attack was ex- tremely ineffective. The Cleveland All "M"-Men are reminded of the "M" Club meeting to- night at 7:30 in the Yost Field House. The picture for the En- sian will be taken at that time so bring your sweaters. -Pete Dow, Secretary id Divisions Packers, better than a two touch-' down underdog, narrowly missed: pulling a big upset. The Lions play-; ed loosely both on offense and de-I fense, and when the game was over, Coach Paker called it a lucky victory. Bobby Layne, with two scoring flips, and Jack Christian- sen, who crossed paydirt twice, led the champs. The big upset of the day was the dumping of the 49ers by the' Baltimore Colts, 17-13. A touch- down pass covering 78 yards, from: Gary Kerkorian to Royve Womble in the dying moments of the game enabled the Colts to win. The Chicago Bears slipped into second place in the Western Di- vision as they surprised the Los; Angeles Rams, 24-13. The defeat' eliminated the Rams from title Other veterans include Charles Anderson at 123 pounds. Mike' Rodriguez at-157 pounds and John McMahon at either 157 or 167 pounds. McMahon competed in the Big Ten meet last year and! added valuable points to the Mich- igan total by taking a fourth place in the 157- pound division. NEW YORK (AP) - Brimming with confidence. France's Pierre Langlois said yesterday he expects to dethrone middleweight cham- pion Carl (Bobo) Olsen Dec. 15 because of Bobo's aggressive style of fighting. "I've seen Olson only on televi- sion," said Pierre. "But I noticed that he gets in there and fights. He doesn't run away. That's his style and I like it. I mean I like to fight a man with that kind of style. I do well against that kind of a fighter." Olson is favored at about 2-1 odds to beat back the challenge of the 29-year-old Gallic gladiator in San Francisco. * * * NEW YORK (/P) - Joey Lopes, 133, of Sacramento, Calif., won' a split decision over Lulu Perep, 132, of Brooklyn, yesterday night in the 10-round feature bout at St. Nicholas Arena. i i I 1 SEMI-ANNUAL * PANT A pome by Ogden Gnash Maurice had a little shirt A sport-shirt, don't you know?
