i TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1955. THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGI TRE TUESAYMAY17, 955THE MICH GAN DAI Y PA V T flK s va. a aaari, L1 a oWIT PHIL/hOU0S... WITH PHIL DOUGLIS Wolverine etmen Trounce lSC, 9-0 Bennie Oosterbaan sat reflectively at his desk, and as the hot spring sun bathed his Ferry Field cubicle with light, his thoughts seemed a long way from screaming crowds in the huge Michigan Stadium. The genial Wolverine football coach had just finished running his squad through spring drills and as far as he was concerned- the real work was done until next August. But on the campus, things are different. In classroom 'and dorm, on the Diag and in the Union, followers of Michigan's grid fortunes are already turning thoughts to prospects for the fall. Talk is free- and there is lots of it. Some observers already see Michigan facing UCLA in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Some are gleefully predicting a national championship for Michigan, as one Chicago Newspaper reportedly did last fall. But as we sat there with Oosterbaan we could evidently see that all of this is mere window, dressing to a job that is just be- ginning. He turned slowly in his swivel chair and drawled "Football is a game of doing-not talking." The situation is "wholesome" to use Oosterbaan's terminology. As far as depth and quantity goes-Michigan has it. As far as quality goes-Michigan probably has it. As far as the intangibles of spirit and attitude goes-well, that is the stumbling block. According to Oosterbaan, it is this spirit and attitude tha is THE deciding factor in college football. " five that are gone At this time it is hard to know if it will develop. Last year's term certainly had it. Thin on actual material, the Wolverines re- mained in the running up to the final game, due in a large part to spirit. But gone are five regulars-five of the key factors in this inspirational role. Captain Ted. Cachey, Danny Cline, Fred Baer, Ron Geyer, and Art Walker will not be back next season-and it is a definite problem to replace their leadership. Nevertheless the overall picture, as far as quantity, is excellent. At the ends, Oosterbaan has seven veterans returning. Led by All- American Ron Kramer, the Wolverines will also be graced with the presence of such lanky gents as Tom Maentz, Jerry Williams, Mike Rotunno, Charlie Brooks, David Rentschler, and John Veselenak. Adding such possible new talent as Larry Faul, and Big Ben has no worries on the flanks. Moving in to tackle, we have the first trouble spot. Much ex- perimenting will be in order before this slot is anywhere near per- manent. Returnees John Morrow and Bill Kolesar will be hard press- ed by the big shot-putter Dave Owen, and such other sophs as big John MacPhee and Al Sigman. At the guards, Michigan looks strong. Captain Ed Meads, Jim Fox and Dick Hill are all back-and coupled with such sophs as' the vastly improved Marv Nyren, Tom Berger, Tom Paplomatas, and Alex Bochnowski, line coach Jack Blott has few real worries here. At center, with Gene Snider, Jim Bates, and Jerry Goebel re- 4 turning, the Wolverines also have no problem-just too many of them. The backfield appears extremely strong. Quarterback is amply filled, with veteran Jim Maddock leading the list. Maddock looked outstanding this spring, along with sophomore understudy Jim Van- Pelt. VanPelt won the Meyer Morton trophy for the "Most Improved Player,' and his nifty signal calling certainly earned him the honor. Then there is standby Lou Baldacci, destined to play a key role in any title aspirations Michigan may have next fall. Baldacci will alternate between quarter and fullback as last season. At left half, the big question is-how good is Jim Pace? The "Ar- kansas Traveler," who hails from Little Rock, caused more than a stir this spring, as he churned off yardage by the bushel full. Ooster- baan calls him a "wonderful prospect" but qualifies it by explaining that he needs lots of experience and coaching. Oosterbaan claims, "He must learn to completely lose himself in the game, and not worry about what he is technically supposed to be doing." Besides the speedy Pace, there is the equally swift Tommy Hend- ricks at tailback. Hendricks must still learn how to hang on\ to that pigskin, however. Probably playing as much-as both Pace and Hend- 9 ricks will be Terry Barr-who looked exceptionally good this spring. ..quite a crew Right half will also be of little worry to osterbaan, who will have Tony Branoff, sound knee and all, back in harness for his fourth season. Along with Branoff, such threats as Ed Hickey, who was so reliable last season, and George Corey, who had a fine spring, will team up to give the Wolverines plenty of power. Count in scrappy Ed Shannon and veteran Stan Knickerbocker, and you have quite a crew of right halfbacks. The fullback spot is the second weak link in the Big Blue jug- gernaught. Not one man at the spot is really a "natural" for the position. End Rotunno, Quarterback Baldacci, and Halfback Shannon will all try their hand at it. Along with them will be three very prom- ising sophomores, big Jim Beyers, Zeno Karcz, and Steve Zervas. This then, is what Michigan will put on the field next fall. If such sophs as Pace, VanPelt, Byers, Nyren, and McPhee can assimi- late into the Michigan system-and if the intangible team spirit can remain as high as last year-the rest of the conference and nation better watch out. This Michigan team is potentially one of the finest in recent Years-and is worth speculating over. However, as we left the aging Athletic building, Big Ben bel- lowed once again from his office-"Football is a game of doing, not talking." It will take lots of "doing" to make the phrase "Champions of the West" meaningful once again. Win Streak Extended To Sixteen (Continued from Page 1) ing the pattern of winning in the minimum amount of time. After capturing his first set against Jim Beachum by a 6-1 margin, Mann encounteredtrouble in placing his shots and dropped the second set, 4-6. He rallied in the final set to win in six straight games. Mann's serves and smashing forehand were instrumental in scoring the second doubles match as a Michigan victory. Both he and Captain Bob Nederlander were forced to put on pressure which the meet didnot warrant in order to defeat Dave Brogan and Ralph Braden, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Doubles Win Easily MacKay and Potter overcame a rough beginning in the first dou- bles to subdue Dick Menzel and George Stepanovic, 10-8, 6-2. Jaffe and Paley scored a faster 6-3, 6-3 triumph over John Brogan and Beachum in the third doubles match. The team victory, accomplished despite the disadvantages of play- ing on a foreign court and of a strong wind which hampered pre- cision placing of shots, brought Coach Bill Murphy's record over the Spartans since 1949 to 6-5. Michigan State was the last squad to beat the Maize and Blue. Michigan, while finishing second to Indiana in 1954's Big Ten tour- ney, has not lost a dual meet since its 8-1 setback at the hands of the Spartans last May 11 at East Lan- sing . SMajor League SEVEN TEAMS VICTORIOUS: Kelsey Edges Gomberg in Softball By BILL GRANSE Slugging contests provided the three biggest I-M softball games in the residence hall division yester- day, Kelsey House came from behind three times to jolt Gomberg, 7-6. They pushed over a run to win in the sixth inning, breaking a 6-6 deadlock in the third place playoff game. Bill Wurst, pitching for Gom- berg, displayed a blazing fastball, but ran into trouble from the bats of Dick Billingsley, Gene Derri- cotte, Don Canada, and Frank Smith. Kelsey got off to a flying start in the first inning, as Billingsley and Derricotte singled, Smith forc- ed Billingsley, and Canada singled, scoring Smith. Both Derricotte and Canada also scored by virtue of an error on the play. Canada scored the winning run on a sixth inning error.

SAN FRANCISCO (R) - Rocky Marciano sent courageous Don Cockell home to England on his shield Monday night, a blood-spat- tered technical knockout victim in { 59 seconds of the ninth round in \ Marciano's fifth defense of his world heavyweight title. Referee Frankie Brown enfolded the fat hog farmer in his arms to stop him from further punishment after he reeled drunkenly toward the ropes. Cockell had b-e e n knocked through the ropes for a count of two when the bell rang ending the eighth round. Out for the kill, the unbeaten 30-year-old Brock- ton, Mass., slugger swarmed over game Cockell with all the fury of his animal attack in the ninth.

Princely values at pauper prices. Have lots more fun-go * - five losses, while they grabbed sec- ond place. Coach Ray Fisher plans to start pitcher Don Poloskey against the Titans, who turned in the best pitching performance on Satur- day. Possible pitchers to follow him are Dick Peterjohn, Bill Thurston, and Glenn Girardin. The game is scheduled to start at 3:30. Lack of Control Lack of control by the pitching staff seemed to be the chief rea- son for the losses. In the double header on Saturday afternoon Michigan pitchers gave up a to- tal of 18 bases on balls. Dick Pe- terjohn issued eight walks in six innings. The pitching staff couldn't fight off the sluggers from East Lansing. Fisher used nearly all of his pitch- ers in the series. for that FRESH Spring Look 715 N. University OLD-FASHIONED GERMAN DINNER Steaks-- Chicken-in-the-rough In the Friday game Mary Wis- niewski didn't give up one base on balls in his nine inning pitching stint, but when he came in to re- lieve in the Saturday nightcap, he issued two walks in one third of an inning. "I didn't think Marv was ready to pitch so soon," re- marked Fisher, "but Marv said he thought he was able to do it, so I let him try." A quirk that hit both teams was the failure of the strong hitters to hit the ball, but the men at the end of the batting order came through in fine style. Most nota- ble of these men were Spartan centerfielder John Powell and Michigan catcher Gene Snider. Powell went seven for twelve in the double header, and batted in five Michigan State runs. He was responsible for all of the MSC runs in Saturday's bill. Bob Davis came out the winning pitcher in a rocky game that saw Allen Rumsey edge Greene House, 14-11, in a fifth place playoff bat- tle. Greene Rallies Greene, trailing 11-2, scored nine runs after two outs in the third inning, to tie the score. The rally was featured by Jerry Wik- strom's grand slam home run. Williams House scored seven runs in a sensational second in- ning rally and went on to wallop Anderson, 14-0, in a fourth place playoff contest. Spotlight event was a grand slam homer by Al To- chet, and a two-run single off the bat of Charlie Jennings, Tochet's homer was a blast which sailed into deep right field. Cooley Edges Michigan Cooley defeated defending cham- pion Michigan House, 3-2, in the first place playoff game. Hayden edged Scott, 1-6r, and Van Tyne de- feated Reeves, 6-4, in second place playoffs. Taylor blasted Hinsdale, 12-5, in a third place playoff, and Adams decisioned Huber, 2-1, in a fourth place game. Strauss won its scheduled fifth. place contest from Winchell on a forfeit. Beta Theta Pi whipped Phi Gamma Delta, 4-1, in the only so- cial fraternity game of the day.
