sIX TUE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1955 4 Michigan Heads for Clash with Spirited Gophers ROSS COUNTRY CHAMPS: Sig Ep, Gomberg Take I-M Crowns' -,.--_ -. qr. .. . - 38 Players Leave This Morning for Minneapolis By JIM BENAGH Sigma Phi Epsilon and Gomberg won top honors in the annual I-M Cross Country meet yesterday at the University Golf Course. The SPE team nosed out Tau Kappa Epsilon by three points for the fraternity title and Gomberg made a runaway for the residence house crown. The day was highlighted by a brilliant photo-finish for the fra- ternity individual leadership. Lou Kwiker and George Rock- well, who finished one-two last year, repeated the same perform- ance, but only a step separated the two fraternity men in the duel for first. Kwiker sped over the two mile course in a record time of 10:24.6. Last year the Sigma Al- pha Mu senior set the record he broke yesterday, a 10:28. Taking the lead at the start, Kwiker held it until the final 660 yards. Rockwell passed him at that mark and the two kept a margin of five to ten yards for a while. Rockwell hurt his chances when he misjudged the last turn ;_ _1 music sHOrs .-CAMPUS- 211 S. State NO 8-9013 -DOWNTOWN- 205 . Liberty NO 2-0675 and ran a few extra yards. With some five yards left, Kwiker re- gained his lead, and edged his foe. Rockwell claimed his share of glory for the day, though, as he led the Sigma Phi Epsilons to the team victory for fraternity houses. His second place, com- bined with a twelfth by teammate Dick Wood and a fourteenth by Tom Rockwell, George's brother, gave SPE's 28 points. TKE Second Tau Kappa Epsilon was second with 31 points and third was shar- ed by the Kwiker-led Sigma Al- pha Mu's and Phi Gamma Delta, both having 38 points. One point was given for first, two for second, and so on. The team with the lowest score won. Each team was allowed to enter a maximum of five men, but the scores of just the best three finish- ers counted. Power-laden Gomberg was red hot despite the cool and cloudy weather, and they breezed to an easy win against tfie other resi- dence houses. Gomberg had a fine score of nine, far better than the 28 registered by runner-up Cooley, and Williams '35. Pete Marudas led the winners with his effort of 10:27, good enough for first in a large field of residence halls men. PROFESSIONAL FRATERNITY Nu Sigma Nu 31, Delta Sigma Pi 0 Phi Chi 32, Psi Omega 9.

Quartelback Dick Larson and Don Swanson went through a long passing session. Badgers Return MADISON, Wis.-Five regulars who have been hobbled with in- juries have returned to practices. Only two will see more than lim- ited action against Ohio State, quarterback Jim Miller and cen- ter Bill McNamara. Cassady in 'Poor Shape' COLUMBUS, O.-Hopalong Cas- sady is expected to be ready for duty by tomorrow, but Coach Woody Hayes says: "I've never seen Cassady in such poor physi- cal shape." Eliot Undecided CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-Coach Ray Eliot still hasn't decided on a starting fullback to use against Michigan State. He has three to choose from, Ray Niaschke, who has rcoverd from a leg injury after missing two games, Don Kraft and Danny Wile. Michigan's football team wound up its local preparation for Minn- esota yesterday, and will depart for Gopherland at 10 o'clock this morning. The bus will leave from in front of the Union at the appointed hour, and will take them to Wil- low Run airport. Their plane takes off at 11:15, and with it the hopes of thousands of loyal fans, who all realize the importance of every game, and who know that every Western Conference team faced is an opponent to fear. After two hours and fifteen min-' uest of air travel, the plane bear- ing Michigan's grid hopes will touch ground in enemy territory, and its cargo of highly trained, determined men will be deposited. Final Practice in Stadium The team will then head for the Curtis Hotel, check in, and then out to Memorial Stadiun for its final practice session before the mighty clash for the Jug on Sat- urday. The Wolverines will run through light drills and generally get-used to thenew gridiron, where they will put their' undefeated status and their No. 1 ranking on the line. . The stands will be empty for, practice, but tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 (2:30 in Ann Arbor) every seat will be filled, mostly with fans of the opposition screaming for their Gophers to pay back the Wolverines for the ridicule of a year ago. After smoothing out the rough spots of the mechanical part of the game, it's back to the hotel for the grid team and the begin- ning of the' mental preparation. During the whole week spirit is built -up, but the night before the real thing, nervousness comes, and relaxation is needed, an dsought by the men who will have no time to relax on the morrow. Injury List Smaller Michigan's team is in better shape for Minnesota than it was last week against Northwestern as far as injuries go. Final prac- tice saw Lou Baldacci, out of action with a bad ankle a week ago, running hard on every play, with only the' slightest detection of a limp. Dave Hill, who could play only a little while against theyWild- cats, is back in top shape. Tom Maentz is also ready to see full time action again. ' Tony Branoff was not on the practice field yesterday because of a bad cold, but is making the trip and will no doubt see action against the Gophers. Ron Kram- er, Mr. Question Mark on the in- jury list, is also going to Minne- apolis but it is extremely doubt- ful that he will be in the game at all. Gopher Bound The list of players who are making the trip to Minnesota is as follows: Lou Baldacci, Terry Barr, Jim Bates,. Tony Branoff, Charley Brooks, Jim Fox, Jerry Goebel, Ed Hickey, Dave Hill, Dick Hill, Ron Kramer, Jim Maddock, Tom Maentz, G. Edgar Meads, Jim Orwig, Jim PaCe, Mike' Ro- tunno, Lionel Sigman, and Jim Van Pelt. Also going are George Corey, Clement Corona, Jim Davies, Dale Eldrid, Larry Faul, Jerry Gonser,' John Greenwood, Tom Hendricks, Dick Heynen, Earl Johnson, Carl Kamhout, Jack Lousma, Bob Mar- ion, John Morrow, Marvin Nyren, John Peckham, Don Rembiesa, Dave Rentschler, and Ed Shannon. Tokyo Greets Touring 'Yank TOKYO WP)-The New York Yankees came to baseball-mad! Japan today and you would have thought they were the world champion Brooklyn Dodgers. They were greeted by an eye- searing flashbulb barrage, flower girls, autograph hunters, public- ity seekers and about 1,000 dren- ched fans. Other thousands lined main streets as the Yankee jeep caval- cade wound through downtown Tokyo. The Yankees arrived in twd special chartered airliners. They will play 16 exhibition games in 10 cities against Japanese professional teams. "Everyone of my players will give a fine exhibition, or I will find out why," Manager Casey Stengel told a surging mob of Japanese newsmen. £Au(9indIl'n9... WITH PHIL DOUGLIS Daily Sports Editor OMINOUS RUMBLINGS from the Northland add a fetirsome note to the trip upon which the Michigan football squad embarks this morning. Never in recent years lhas Minneapolis been so riled up over a game as it is about the clash with the top team in the nation tomorrow afternoon. A sell-out crowd of 66,500 rabid Minnesota fans will jam every nook and cranny of Memorial Stadium-a crowd which will be screaming for revenge cn every play. Meanwhile, millions more will peer at television screens through- out the midwest, including back here in Ann Arbor, to see Michigan meet its sternest test since the Army battle. You don't need a scorecard to tell you that when Minnesota and Michigan grapple over that sacred piece of crockery they call the Little Brown Jug, all form cards can be tossed away and in their place you can only measure block against block, break against break. Perhaps few games in the ancient and bitter series have had bigger buildups than this one. It was no co-incidence that the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post (dated this Saturday) features an article on Minnesota's Murray Warmath-and splashed across the page is a huge photo of last year's Brown Jug set-to. It is no secret that emblazoned all over the Minnesota lockerroom are placards saying "34-0". This bitter lesson learned last year in the Michigan Stadium may return to haunt the very men who administered that lesson. Minnesota has the horses to pull an upset ... and every fan in Minneapolis apparently believes that it will come to pass. The white-shirted Wolverines will also have other worries come tomorrow afternoon. They are still hampered by the injury bug-- which mainly afflicts Ronald John Kramer-the man with the most discussed rib cage in Michigan history. He will definitely make the trip but is not expected to see action. A Gloomy Precedent. BEHIND THEM also rides a gloomy precedent. It has been seven long years since Michigan last won at Minneapolis, for the 1948 national champs were the last team to pull the trick. Last but not least-is a blunt fact that Michigan is rated tops in the country. Th'ough coaches may decry these polls as "window dressing," it is still a fact-and it points the finger of "favorite" squarely upon the Wolverines. Psychologically, it is better to be an underdog. Everybody who they play from here on in will be "up" for them ... because a victory over Michigan would make a season "complete" for the team that pulled the trick. - The. Michigan picture is therefore not as bright as most out- siders think. Couple all these factors with an offense that has failed to jell into a sustained attack-and you have nothing but trouble. What then will happen tomorrow? There is no doubt about it -Michigan will have a battle on its hands to stay unbeaten and re- tain its ranking. To overcome the tremendous spirit that Minnesota is apparently generating, it will have to reach far into their re- sources to pull this one out of the fire. Count on no miracles . . . it will be sheer football savvy and know-how that will< turn the tide in Michigan's favor-if it. can successfully ward off the Gophers. Michigan is a team that jumps on breaks. It will need to do lots of that tomorrow. The essential difference between the two teams will be staying power. No finer slogan can exemplify this belief than that which appeared on the Michigan locker room door during the past week. The slogan read "When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Beat Minnesota!"
