Sundt, 57, University of Wisconsin athletic director and the most widely known member of the sports faculty over the past quar- ter of a century, died in a hos- pital yesterday of a heart attack. Sundt, one of the school's few eight-major-letter-winners a n d connected with its athletic de- partment for 31 years, had what his widow described as a "mild heart condition," but appeared to be in good health recently. He attended the Wisconsin-Ohio State game Saturday but the fol- lowing day complained of not feel- ing well. He was admitted to the Wisconsin General Hospital Mon- day morning but he returned to his home later in the day, only to go back to the infirmary where death occurred early Tuesday. Funeral Tomorrow Funeral services will be held Thursday morning at the First Congregational Church at Madi- son. Sundt entered the University from Stroughton, Wis., in 1918, and made the varsity football team as a freshman. He played as a fullback four years, captaining the team in his sophomore and senior years. He also won three letters in track and one in basket- ball before graduation as class president in 1922. He was athletic director of Ripon (Wis.) College for tv* years before returning to Wisconsin in 1924 as assistant track coach and freshman football coach. Since that time he has held var- FRATERNITY VOLLEYBALL Phi Gamma Delta 5, Tau Kappa Epsilon 1 ious posts with the Athletic De- partment. He was named athletic director in 1950 to succeed Harry Stuhldreher, who resigned as di- rector and football coach that year. Rucs Choose .Office Head PITTSBURGH (M) - Handsome Joe L. Brown, son of famed movie comedian Joe E. Brown, became general manager of the pennant- hungry Pittsburgh Pirates Tues- day with a promise to get the team "back in the race and into the World Series." "The job, of course, is a great challenge to me, but I think it is a challenge that can be met," said the 37-year-old successor to Branch Rickey, Sr. Brown's con- tract for one year at an undis- closed salary makes him one of the youngest top executives in the major leagues. Rickey, who will remain in an advisory capacity, will serve as board chairman and also will be a director.

JIM VAN PELT LARRY DOBY, long-time stalwart of the Cleveland Indians, was traded yesterday to the Chicago White Sox, thus giving the Sox a much-needed power hitter.

By JOHN HILLYER There's nothing Jim Van Pelt wanted to do more intensely than to play football for Michigan. The rugged sophomore from Evanston, Ill., has been rooting for Michigan teams almost ever since he was old enough to walk, even' though his home is in the shadow of Northwestern's Dyche Stadium. This year, having finally gotten his big chance, he has come through handsomely. His early life was somewhat in- fluenced by the fact that his fath- er and grandfather both attended the University, but he was given free choice as to where he would attend college, and he chose the inevitable. Van Pelt, a 5' 11", 185-pounder, was a three-sport star for Evan- ston (Ill.) High School, partici- pating in golf and basketball as well as football. On the hardwoods, he was Ev- anston's best ball-handler and one of its leading scorers, captaining the quintet his senior year at the guard post. Golf Star In golf, he shot in the upper 70's, and on one occasion fired a round which his coach called "the finest round of golf in the history of this high school." But it was in football that Van Pelt most prominently excelled in high school. Playing quarterback under the split-T system of of- fense, he proved to be pretty much the whole show, running, kicking, and passing his way to the first- team All-State eleven during his senior year. It was during this campaign that Van Pelt's coach decided to switch to almost a strict diet of the spread formation, which meant that Jim was the one man back on every play. His distinguishing characteris- tic on the field was to pattern him- self after his hero, Chuck Ort- mann, Michigan's great tailback of a few years ago. Like Ortmann, Van Pelt wore jersey number 49, and like Ortmann, always rolled up his sleeves. When he reported to Michigan for fall practice, reports were cir- culating throughout the football front that Van Pelt was too small for a Big Ten single-wing quarter- back. But his determination to eclipse such rumors paid off. He gained about 10 or 15 pounds, set himself, and impressed Coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan and his associates to such an extent that he was given the Meyer W. Morton Award as the most-improved player in spring practice, an award made last year to Ron Kramer. Brilliant First Start Last Saturday afternoon at Minneapolis, Van Pelt was given his first shot at a starting berth when Michigan's regular signal- caller, Jim Maddock, was hampered by a bruised hip. As most of, the football' world knows by now, he was not only the sparkplug behind the Wolver- ines' attack-which finally gath- ered some semblance in the second quarter-but kicked the extra point which eventually won the game for the Blue, 14-13. His ex- OnHomecoming Saturday morning, October 29, there will be an Open House at the Ath- letic Building from 9:30 to 11:00.

It would seem that Jim Van Pelt is well on his way to realizing his life-long ambition. tl t # 'M' Statistics Light Drills Are Deceiving For Kramer By The Associated Press Coach Bennie Oosterbaan put Michigan's puzzling Wolverines, his charges through extensive short on statistics but long on vic- passing and defensive drills yest- erday in preparation for Satur- tories, show their baffling brand day's football battle with Iowa's of football to a national television Hawkeyes. audience Saturday against Iowa.

New Talent Discovered Despite the fact that grid pick entries have been marred by numerous upsets, student participaton in the Daily's football contest has increased rapidly in the past two weeks. While teams such as Wisconsin, Ohio State, Duke, Army and TCU have thrown the records of the grid experts into a nosedive, student entries have jumped over the 300 per week mark. In fact, the contest is becoming so popular, that, along with their picks, students are sending letters to The Daily. The following letter, from two enthusiastic Birmingham fans was received at the Sports desk last week: Dear Grid Picks, We don't want movie tickets - all we want'is prestige, fame, notoriety! We don't get the Daily until Wednesday evening after a hard day's work, and because of the inefficient mailman can't get our grid picks to you before the Thursday-at-five-dead- line. I don't know whether you look at late picks, but we are good. Here are our statistics: Ann Morrow Jacobs Jack Jacobs 1st week ..... 12- 3 .800 1st week ..... 11- 4 .733 2nd week..... 26- 4 .867 2nd week..... 23- 7 .767 3rd week ..... 35-10 .778 3rd week ..... 34-11 .755 We shall continue our consistently high-caliber selections and would feel collegiate as all get-out if you would be so, good as to note our little victories in your column. Forget the tickets. Ann and Jack Jacobs At any rate, the following are this week's games: 1. Iowa at Michigan 8. Michigan State at Wisconsin 2. Auburn at Tulane 9. Navy at Notre Dame 3. California at UCLA 10. Northwestern at Ohio State 4. Colgate at Army 11. Purdue at Illinois 5. Dartmouth at Yale 12. Rice at Kentucky 6. Duke at Georgia Tech 13. Southern Cal. at Minnesota 7. Miami (Fla.) at Pitt 14. Texas at Southern Methodist 15. Texas Christian at Baylor 1 Slender Margin 1 They've made 55 first downs compared to 50 for the opposition, 739 yards rushing to 731 for the enemy. Their margin in passing yarder is somewhat larger, 381 to 196, but a slender difference when spread out over five games. How, then, has Michigan been' winning? Like many Michigan teams of the past, the 1955 version is an opportunistic one, quick to seize upon enemy errors and turn them into touchdowns. For instance, only three times this season has Michigan moved from its own territory for touchdowns. As for the Iowa camp, a Chi- cago Tribune story said yesterday that Frank Gilliam, star Hawkeye end, who has been sidelined with a broken leg for most of the sea- son, would play against the Wol- verines. The Tribune also stated that All-American guard Calvin Jones would miss the contest. Jim Bates and Mike Rotunno. who have been suffering from knee and shin injuries, respectiv- ely, are expected to be available for the Homecoming festivities. Others who have shaken off in- juries are Lou Baldacci, Dave Hill, Earl Johnson and Jim Maddock.
