Most heartening is the r'evitalized offensive attack. After the initial quarter, Michigan dominated the game almost completely. This was most evident in the third quarter when Minnesota had the ball only three times - and was forced to punt on each occasion. For the first time this season the Wolverines were able to consistently move the ball. The winning touchdown came after a drive of 48 yards in ten plays; the first score resulted after Michigan had marched 60 yards in only 6 plays. A New Star for Michigan... THEN THERE was the fine play of quarterback Jim Van Pelt. Substituting for the injured Jim Maddock, the sophomore dis- played the coolness of a veteran. He led the team so well that he may have earned himself a starting berth. Van Pelt completed five of 11 passes, good for one touchdown and 76 yards. He also kicked the extra point which supplied the victory. But Van Pelt was not the only one who turned in an outstanding performance. 'Terry Barr accounted for 46 yards on the ground, scored the first touchdown, and blocked Minnesota's try for the extra point. Reliable Tony Branoff was a threat all day as he picked up 57 yards rushing. Tom Maentz had a wonderful day: the big end snared Van Pelt's touchdown pass and three others for a total of 57 yards. Another factor in Michigan's one-point victory was its poise. The Wolverines, instead of cracking when behind by 13 points, increased the pressure. They forced the Gophers to make errors and then were able to capitalize on the mistakes. It is only a very good team than can come from behind as Michigan did last Saturday.f After a shaky start, the Maize and Blue's defense performed more than creditably. Minnesota had seven first downs - 12 less than the Maize and Blue - and, could gain only 44 yards on the ground in the second half.F To add further joy in the Michi- gan camp, no serious injuries resulted at Minneapolis. Jim Bates and Mike Rotunno are still havingx trouble with their legs but they x will be ready come game-time this weekend. When Ron Kramer will return to the lineup could become the- favorite guessing game on they campus. No one seems to know% when the star end will return to JIM VAN PELT action. The Unmentioned Subject... THE BIG TEN championship and the Pasadena trip that goes with it, is a subject that no one talks about at Ferry Field. Be that as it may . . . but things are looking pretty good for the Wolverines at the moment. Ohio State, sporting a 26-12 win over Wisconsin, and Michigan are the only two unbeaten teams in the conference. Since the Buckeyes can not make a return trip to the West Coast and' . . well, as I said, things are looking pretty good for the Wolverines. Barr is the leading ground gainer for the first five games with 179 yards in 38 attempts, an average of 4.7 per carry. Branoff is the workhorse of the team - 46 rushes - for 116 yards. Jim Pace sports the best average-5.3-with 112 yards on 21 carries. Kramer still leads the team in scoring with 25 points on three touchdowns and eight conversions. Barr is one point behind with four tallies. In the passing department, Maddock has 134 yards to his credit while Van Pelt has tossed for 125 yards. Maddock has completed seven of 23 while Van Pelt has succeeded in eight of 16 attempts. Branoff heads the kickers with an average of 44 yards per punt. Kramer is fourthon the squad with 365 yards in ten boots. A statistic that means nothing: Michigan has lost the flip-of-the- coin in all but the Minnesota game. Former Ring Greats Honored NEW YORK W)--Ten former ring greats, including Gene Tunney, Mickey Walker, Benny Leonard and Harry Greb, have been elected to boxing's Hall of Fame. The announcement was made Monday at the dedication ceremony for the Hall of Fame at the Ring magazine offices. Other named were Sam Langford, the Boston Tar baby, who fought from 1902 to 1923; former featherweight champions Terry McGovern and Abe Attell and Barbtados Joe Walcott, onetime welterweight king. These four were voted in by the old timers' committee of 20. CALM AND COOL-HEADED when the pressure's on, it took Jim Maddock (26) just one game to demonstrate his value to the Wolverine grid squad. By The Associated Press Maryland and Oklahoma. dis- playing the kind of awesome foot- ball power that impresses the ex- perts, moved to the top of the na- tional rankings Monday while Michigan tumbled to third place. Maryland's Terrapins, unbeaten kingpins of the Atlantic Coast Conference, humbled Syracuse, the team that had put the crusher on Army the week before, by a con- vincing 34-13 score Saturday. Oklahoma, facing its m o s t dangerous Big Seven rival, over- came a bad start to bury Colo- rado 56-21. Michigan Overshadowed These two overwhelming victor- ies overshadowed the performance of Michigan, the pacesetter for the past two weeks, but they evidently left some uncertainty in the minds of the sports writers and broad- casters participating in the week- ly Associated Press ranking poll. JIM MADDOCK the difficulty of diagnosing the other team's defense. "It's very hard, once you get in a game, to gain the proper perspective.", he points out. "Very few quarter- backs can correctly interpret the defensive setup every time." One of Maddock's pet peeves is the popular conception that foot- ball players are mere uneducated hunks of muscle. "Everybody on the team loves to play football," he emphasizes, "but we realize that it's not the most important thing in life. -I Officials Needed All men interested in offici- ating intramural volleyball games should call the IM building and leave your name and phone number immediate- ly.

By JOHN HILLYER Iowa had just rolled up two quick, stunning touchdowns, to take the lead on Michigan's young gridders, 13-0, last autumn. An apathetic mixture of groans and wry laughter emerged from the Michigan stands. This looked like an "off" year for the Wolver- ines, who had been crushed by Army the previous Saturday, Then something happened - something which few people pres- ent that day could put their fing- ers on. In one mighty effort, the men in Blue put together a couple of six-pointers themselves - and made both of the extra points - to win, 14-13. The leader of this vaunted dis- play was a sturdy, untried young quarterback with a number 26 on his back. "There's no doubt but what that was my biggest thrill playing for Michigan," said Jim Maddock. "I'll never forget that day for the rest of my life." Maddock, a 5-11, 190-pound junior from Chicago, enjoyed quite a successful high school ca- reer in the Windy City. Playing for Fenwick High in the same backfield with another Michigan back-Ed Shannon-he received all-Catholic League honors at quarterback. While in high school he also played guard on the Fenwick bas- ketball team, averaging about 10 pounts a game while Jim Barron, now a Michigan cage star, was copping most of the laurels on the same team. Maddock enjoys calling signals for the Wolverines, but stresses 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Texas A & M 5-1 Georgia Tech 5-1 Holy Cross 5-0 Tex.

Tops Western Division; Browns Are Strong in East By JIM BAAD After another week-end of banging heads, the National Foot- ball League standings are only a little more jelled than they were before. The Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns are definitely as- suming the roles of the teams to beat for their respective division championships, and the Chicago Bears may be on their way up. The Rams handed the Detroit Lions their fifth straight loss beat- ing them Sunday, 24-13. This gave thr Rams undisputed right to first place in the Western Di- vision. It also left the Lions with sole possession of the cellar, and very little hope of ever getting out. Browns, Steelers Tied The Cleveland Browns are still tied with Pittsburgh for the East- ern Division lead as both teams won last weekend, the Browns roll- ing over the Green Bay Packers, 41-10, and Pittsburgh beating the New York Giants, 19-17. Comparing the two teams, the Browns seem to hold the edge over Pittsburgh despite their equal 4-1 status. Both teams shave shown the necessary offense, but Cleveland has displayed a strong defense that has allowed only 44 points scored against them since their four game winning streak began. The Chicago Bears, after win- ning their first game two weeks ago, felt thatsthey were on their way to a title bid. Action last week (lid not damoe 1 these hopes, as tl-ey powered past the San F,mco 49ers, 34-23. Bears to Play Rams The Bears play the Rams next week and this should be a decid- ing contest for both teams. If the Rams win, their supremacy is all the more strengthened, but if the Bears show themselves stronger, it would be a harsh setback for the leaders and 'a key victory on the march upwards for Chicago. The Washington Redskins man- aged to hold on to their third place position in the Eastern Di- vision by sneaking past the Balti- *more Colts, 14-13.r The Chicago Cardinals played the Philadelphia Eagles to a 24-24 standstill, leaving both their re- cords intact since ties are not counted in the National Football League. By JIM VOGT Lloyd House, behind the aerial artistry of Bruce Fox, dumped Hinsdale, 20-0, in the top game of yesterday's I-M football slate. The first time Lloyd got the ball, it scored on a 30 yard pass from Fox to Don Dueweke in the end Zone. Fox hit Dueweke again for the extra point, and from there on it was all Lloyd. Lloyd, now one of the four un- defeated teams, is boasting a 3-0 record. Since it meets winless Hu- ber next week, it is an overwhelm- ing favorite to finish the regular season undefeated. Lloyd has an excellent chance to repeat as residence halls foot- ball champion.! Highly touted Gomberg had ant easy time protecting its undefeat- ed record. Its opponent, Greene House, failed to show up, so the Big Reds won by forfeit. In the high scoring game ofj the afternoon Adams House posted a 30-6 win over hapless Reeves. Dick Peterson accounted for twol tallies, one on a 30 yard pass from Dick Ericksen and the other on a pass interception. Fred Steele and George Rakolta also crossed, the stripe for Adams. A touchback high-lighted Wil- liams' 8-0 win over Kelsey. For Williams' other score fullback Jack Lewis intercepted a Kelsey pass on his own 18 and ran it back to the two. On the next play he ran around right end for six. In other league action, Ander- son nipped Wenley, 7-6, and Tay- lor House blanked Strauss, 6-0. .f Michigan and VanTyne finally broke into the winning column, as Michigan whipped Scott, 12-0, and VanTyne handed Huber a 14-0 set- back. ...
