By The Associated Press
Tom Maentz, Michigan's 207-lb.
right end, was selected yesterday
as The Associated Press "lineman
of the week."
Maentz thus joined quarterback
-Bob Hardy of Kentucky at the
head of the week's honor roll for
individual excellence.
Ron Kramer, Michigan's other
end, also was high in the balloting
of sprtswriters and broadcasters,
as were Pat Bisceglia, Notre Dame
guard; and Cal Woodworth, Okla-
homa tackle.
Stars In Minnesota Win
Maentz, after missing the first
two games completely and most of
the third, finally came into his
own in the fifth encounter against
Minnesota. He took a pass to the
five-yd.-line to set up Michigan's
} first touchdown and scored the
winning touchdown on another
pass.
But it was against Iowa, last
Saturday, that Maentz emerged
as a full-fledged star. Ile caught a
forward pass and went 60 yards for
what proved to be the winning
touchdown in Michigan's great
last-quarter rally.
Maentz, a 6'-2" junior from Hol-
land, Mich., earlier had scored one
of Michigan's touchdowns, but
Iowa still led 21-20 until his spec-
tacular catch and run that put the
Wolverines ahead for good.
The glue-fingered receiver, last
Saturday, set a new Michigan rec-
ord for number of yards gained
via pass reception and came wtth-
in sight of the Big Ten record.
All told, he caught five passes
good for 169 yards which far out-
stripped the former Wolverine
record held by Loell Perry. He
was also outstanding on defense.
Perry, a Maize and Blue star at
the end position during the '50, '51,
and '52 seasons set his mark
against Indiana on October 13,
1951. In that game he garnered
124 yards on five receptions:
Near Big Ten Mark
The Western Conference record
came near to Maentz' grasp as he
fell only 21 yards shy of the 190
mark established by Iowa's Rex
Smith in the Hawkeye's clash
with Illinois. However, Smith
caught 11 passes, six more .than
Maentz snared, in setting that
mark.
Kramer managed to compile 109
yards, on seven passes, including
three touchdown catches, in this
fall's Missouri game for his best
record to date.

NAMED A.P. "LINEMAN OF THE WEEK" for his Iowa game per-
formance, Tom Maentz is shown lunging for an earlier-season pass.
By ED SALEM
Jim Fox ..University of Michi-
gan ... Left guard.
1953: Played, second and third
string behind Don Dugger, who re-
ceived All-Conference honors' and
played in East-West game.
1954: Played second string and
was overshadowed by Captain Ted
Cachey who was also invited to
play in a post-season game.
1955: Has alternated starting
guard position with junior Dick
Hill, who is considered by many
to be one of Michigan's top line
prospects in many years.
Rating: "Fox is a good, consist-
ent ball player," says Line Coach
Jack Blott. "He's a real leader
on the field."
Excellent Place-Kicker
Fox is an excellent place-kicker
but never gets a chance to show
his stuff because Michigan has
JIM FOX
Ron Kramer, who seems to do ev-
erything well.
"Hasn't it ever gotten discour-
aging being outshined by such
star players as Dugger, Cachey,
Hill, and finally Kramer?" Fox
was asked.
"Not a bit," he replied. "Take
this year for example. The way,
the coaches have got it worked
out, there is actually no first or
second string on the line. We
work on a two group system."
The first group will start a
game, but as soon as Oosterbaan
thinks they're tired, or not per-
forming up to par, the second setl
goes in. The two are shuffled1
back and forth for almost the
entire game.
"I don't get discouraged," he1
continued, "because I take a par-
ticular pride. in my group. We1
feel that on any given day, wet
could go out there and do as wellt
as group one."
Once Played End
Fox, who played offensive end
and defensive guard at Saginaw
High School, was switched to full-
time guard duties when he arrived
in Ann Arbor.
The sturdy senior weighed 182
lbs. in his freshman year. Evi-
dently his diet at the training
table has shown its effect as he,
now tips the scale at 195.
Asked what he intends to do
when he graduates, Fox replied,
"One of three things: Go into the,
Army (if drafted), get a job coach-
ing, or else pursue my Masters de-
gree in Physical Education before
entering the coaching field."
With this, Jim trotted off to the
practice field. "Gotta hurry," he
said, "big game this week."

Grid Entries
The Daily's official tabulators
for -the Grid Picks contest were
a bit surprised last week when
they discovered two "unusual" of-
ferings in}the entry box.
One unfortunate soul mistaken-
ly left his Geology 11 assignment
at the Daily, and probably handed
in his football entries to his sur-
prised professor.
Another somewhat absent-mind-
ed student left a postcard from

Rain and a :muddy field were
the order of the day as third-rank-
ed Michigan on the AP poll wa's
put through its paces yesterday
in preparation for the weekend
clash with the Illinois at Cham-
paign.
Ends and backfield men concen-
trated their efforts on improving
the Wolverines' already proven
passing attack, as they spent most
of the afternoon conducting pass
drills.
At the same time they gave de-
fenders ample opportunity for in-
creasing their pass interception
and pass "breaking up" skills..
The center of the line, before
coming out and practicing withj
the remainder of the squad, held
drills in Yost Field House.
Jim Pace, afflicted with a
sprained ankle, took pant in the
pass drills, but the speedy half-
back's running was noticeably
hampered.
It's hoped that weather condi-
tions will improve for today's vital
drills, the last before journeying
to Illinois.
