THE MICHIGAN GRID SQUAD RELAXES BEFORE TAKEOFF FROM WILLOW RUN AIRPORT
ENROUTE TO SEATTLE. THE TEAM FLEW IN A CHARTERED PLANE FOR THE OPENER
WITH THE HUSKIES.
By DON LINDMAN
From riches to rags in ten years
- that's the story of Michigan's
amm mpionship achievements during1
the past decade.
When the 1954 Wolverine tennis
players hung up their rackets and
it ended the biggest seasons in
Michigan athletic history. Maize-
and-Blue athletes fought for Big
Ten titles in eleven sports, but
failed to gain a single team crown.
Only once before, in 1951, had the
Wolverines failed to gain a con-
ference title since the school re-
entered the Big Ten in 1917.
Tenth Anniversary
Ironically enough, the thwarted
efforts of last season. marked the
tenth anniversary of the greatest
performance by one school in the
history of the Big Ten -- the an-
niversary of Michigan's greatest
The 1943-44 season saw the Wol-
verines, loaded with navy trainees,
capture eight of the nine confer-
ence titles for which they fought.
Sparked by such Wolverine grid
greats as Bob Nussbaumer, Bob
Wiese, Bill Daley, and Elroy
"Crazy-Legs" Hirsch, the football
team romped to an undefeated
son in conference play in addition
to capturing two non-conference
tilts. Sharing the crown with Pur-
due, the Maize-and-Blue gridders
rolled up lop-sided scores in all
Big Ten encounters.

Cindermen Blast Illini

son the Wolverine cindermen went
to work, climaxing a spectacular
season by grabbing the indoor

low hurdles, besting the great
"Buddy" Young, of Illinois, in the
latter.
In outdoor track the final re-
sults were the same, although the
margin wasn't so great. Once
again the Wolverines finished on
top, scoring 70 points to 58 for
the Illini.
The Wolverine swimmers an-
nexed the conference title with
ease, winning five of the nine
events. But the wrestlers found
the going much harder. After plac-
ing every man in the semi-finals
and recording five falls in the pre-
liminary bouts, the Maize-and-Blue
matmen managed to edge the Pur-
due grapplers, 28-27, to annex the
crown.
After opening with runaway 7-0
and 20-2 wins over Iowa, the Mich-
igan baseball team entered the
final double-header of the season
still needing one victory to clinch
the Big Ten crown. The diamond-
men fought two tight battles with
Purdue, winning the first, 4-2, to
take the title, and capturing the
second game, 3-2.
The' Wolverine golfers routed
conference foes in capturing the
links crown with a 27-stroke mar-
gin over second-place Purdue.
Climaxing the Maize-and-Blue
assault, the tennis squad edged
Ohio State for the net title in an
18-17 thriller. Wolverine hopes
looked dim after the first day of
title competition when the Buck-
eye netters led by two points and
placed five men in the final round
to only three for Michigan. The
Wolverines were equal to the oc-
casion, however, as all three men
conquered OSU opponents to win
titles and give Michigan its eighth
conference title, a record un-
matched in Big Ten history.

Huskies in Final Tuneup;
Pressbox Shut to Scout
SEATTLE (,P)-Michigan's Wol-
verines arrived here Thursday
while their Saturday opponents,
the University of Washington Hus-
kies, ended their last scrimmage
before game time.
Coach John Cherberg worked!
the Huskies squad hard mostly on
their failing ground attack. For
the most part the Huskies have
appeared strongest in the air.
Tickets sales for the game be-
tween the two teams were pick-
ing up as Michigan alumni on the
coast flocked to Seattle.
Washington was having trouble
in the middle of the line, much
like Michigan, and it was a toss-
up which of last week's starters,
Pete Arrivey and Del Jensen,
would be in center's position for
said the crowd may be better than
50,000.
The verbal battle between Bert,
Bell, Commissioner of the National
Football League and various col-
lege athletic officials, among them
Michigan's Fritz Crisler, entered'
its second day, as the commission-
er cited his charges against the
colleges to Nick Kerbawy, gener-
al-manager of the Detroit Lions.
In a long distance phone call to
Kerbawy, the commissioner was?
told by the Detroit Lions' official
of several instances where the col-
leges refused to poocperate with
the pros. One specific charge was
made against Michigan.
One of them was that Bob Nuss-
baumer, who played football for
the Wolverines from 1943-45, and
is now a Lions Scout, was refus-
ed credentials for the Michigan
pressbox.
turn. Scoring twice in the first
period, three times in the second,
twice in the third, and adding a
final marker in the fourth, Michi-
gan was never in trouble.
The Wolverines not only capital-
ized on many Husky miscues, but
also wrecked the westerners in the
statistics column. Piling up 20 first
downs to Washington's 5, and out-
rushing the Huskies 337-72, the
game was "no-contest."
Tomorrow out in Seattle, the
teams meet again. The cast is
much the same. Lederman is back.
So is Branoff, Baldacci, and com-
pany. But the scene is different,'
and with Michigan playing thou-
sands of miles away before a huge
rival crowd under the shadows of
Mount Rainier, anything can hap-
pen, as the Huskies gun for re-
venge.
Regardless of the outcome, one
thing is sure. Another page will
be added to Michigan's fabulous
gridiron recordbook come this Sat-
urday afternoon.
