SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAil.Y aa~al 111MI1 ..l"1AN UIAIIW> Hoosiers P @ Hopes on Air Attack 4 Fisher May Be New NIU Athletic Head Plan To Bolster Sports Prestige EVANSTON, Ill. U)-A man as sociated with Northwestern ath letics for 31 years, basketbal] coach Waldo Fisher, may becom the new athletic director expecte to restore the Wildcats to footbal respectability. Fisher, 49, an athletic staf member ever since his graduatio in 1928 after four years of North western stardom, is most prom inently mentioned as successor t Ted Payseur, who was "kicke upstairs." School president J. Roscoe Mil ler Thursday announced that Pay seur was relieved of the athletic director's post to become an as sistant business manager of th university "for athletics." The move obviously was direct ed entirely at reorganizing a foot. ball program which has produce only one Big Ten victory in 1 games since 1953 and this seasor finds the Wildcast winless ir seven searts. To Control Saban's Fate The new athletic director will have in his hands the fate of Lou Saban, nearing the end of a one- year contract as new head foot- ball coach succeeding harassed Bob Voigts. Voigts quit . early this year under alumni pressure. Whatever his decision on Sa- ban's future, the incoming ath- letic director hs the blessing of president Miller to "evolve a pro- gram consistent" with Big Ten standards. This points at a stepped-up hunt for football talent, comparable to the better-manned squads which are attracted to other Big Ten schools. Sports The upheavals in the Big Ten football race have been marked by the emergence of new rushing and passing leaders in statistics for individual play. Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, Ohio State's all-American half- back, has taken over in ground gaining from Harry Jefferson of Illinois. Cassady has netted 396 yards in his four games, to 356 for Jefferson, who led until last week. Cassady has an average per play of 6.1 yards, but even that is overshadowed by the 10.6 yards per play of Jefferson's substitute, Bob Mitchell, who ran wild against Michigan last week for a one-game season's high of 173 yards and seventh place among rushing lead- ers. Cassady Has 42 Points Cassady meanwhile is making a walkaway of the individual scoring race with seven touchdowns for 42 points, and has taken over a lead in kickoff returns with an average of 29.1 yards. In passing, Chick Cichowski of Indiana has dumped Purdue's Len Dawson and Michigan State's Earl Morrall for top ranking. Although he is more than 200 yards short of Dawson in total gain he has staked out his position be a re- markable completions average of .608 in 51 attempts. Jim Haluska of Wisconsin also has passed Dawson and Morrall in ranking, with second place in yardage and in number of com- pletions. Dawson is handicapped in pass, standings by a record of twelve interceptions, but retains top place in total offense, ahead of Iowa's Jerry Reichow, who has, a high average of 6.9 yards each time he has put the ball into play. Khoenle Leading Receiver Bob Khoenle of Purdue has taken over as the leading pass re- ceiver, with 17 catches, although Dave Howard of Wisconsin and Tom Maentz of Michigan have higher yardage totals. Earl Smith of Iowa continues to lead in punt returns, Kelvin Kleber of Minnesota in punting and Pat Levenhagen of Wisconsin in pass interceptions, although he 'M' Seeks Revenge For Last Year's 13-9 Indiana Upset CHICK CICHOWSKI ... pitching Big eTen Standings W L T Pet.

Campbell, playing at the right half slot has an average of 4.0 yards per carry. He has car- ried the ball 78 times for 312 yards. Leading the squad in the rushing department is fullback Bartkiewicz with 399 yards on 96 attempts. Tackle and co-captain Bob Skoronski will be another man that the home team will have to watch closely. He recovered one fumble against Ohio to raise his recovery record to seven for the season. A senior standing 6-3 and weighing 215 pounds, Indiana boosters claim he rates on anyone's All-Confer- ence team. Bomba Back Brad Bomba, Indiana's top-notch end, sidelined for a month with a knee injury, will be available for action today. He saw extended service against Ohio and the knee passed the test. Biggest concern, though, of the Hoosier coaching staff is the bruis- ed hip received by Joe Amstutz, center and line-backing ace. The 6-4, 254-pound junior is consid- ered highly doubtful as a result of the injury suffered at Colum- bus. The Wolverines will go into the game with their share of hamper- ing injuries. Terry Barr, though a probable starter this afternoon, has been plagued by a severe char- ley horse. Lou Baldacci, who re- injured his ankle, and Captain Ed Meads, who reinjured his shoulder, will also be available. Jim Pace appears to have shrugged off his ankle ailment, Jim Bates and Jerry Goebel are still bothered with hand injuries and Mary Nyren is having trouble with his knee. All are expected to play today. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan is ex- pected to stick to his regular starting line-up despite the hu- miliating loss at the hands of Illinois last Saturday. It will be Barr and Tony Branoff at the halfback spots, Baldacci at full- back and Jim Van Pelt at quar- ter. Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz will be at their usual posts, Jim Orwig and Al Sigman at the tackles and Dick Hill and Meads will be the guards. Bates will center the Michigan line. Series Ancient The series between the two schools began 55 years ago. Michi- gan has the edge with 16 victories, while Indiana has won five. Upon only one other occasion have the Hoosiers made it two in a row over the Maize and Blue. In 1944 the late Bo McMillin's team scored a 20-0 victory and the Hoosiers duplicated with a 13-7 win in 1945. Oosterbaan's main job this past week has been to build up the spirits of a team that was badly beaten at Champaign. It is a difficult task and how successful the mild-mannered coach has been will be determined late this after- noon.

P)--A stop- watch tempest boiled yesterday as Northwestern't track coach criti- cized a national AAU move to cred- it his star sprinter, Jim Golliday, with a new world record time of 9.2 seconds for the 100-yard dash. The performance in question happened in the Big Ten relays May 4 at Evanston and at the time, Golliday's clocking was an- nounced as 9.3, matching the world mark set in 1948 by Southern Cal- ifornia's Mel Patton. and equalled by Australia's Hector Hogan in 1954. The unique position of a coach not grabbing all.the spotlight pos- sible for a protege was taken by Wildcat mentor Rut Walter be- cause: "If those people go fooling around asking for "a 9.2 record, Golliday won't even get his hon- est 9.3." This was a slam at the national AAU, whose secreary, Dan Ferris, announced in New York that the Central AAU Chicago area gum- med up a record application sub- mitted to the national group. Fer- ris said a 9.2 clocking will be sub- mitted for approval at the AAU convention in Louisville Dec. 1-4. But Walter said he, himself, filed the application and that Ferris was wrong in saying two of the re- quired three times caught Golli- day at 9.' and the third at 9.3. "It was the other way around," said Walter. "Two clocked him at 9.3 and one at 9.2. True, there was a fourth timer, an alternate, who also caught Golliday at 9.2, but his time is unofficial. * * * MADISON, Wis. (P)-The ashes of Guy M. Sundt, University of Wisconsin athletic director and one-time Badger sports great who died Oct. 25, have been scattered over Camp Randall Stadium. This carried out a wish ex- pressed by Sundt and his widow, Mary. Four close friends of the late director were aboard the air- craft that swooped over the play- ing field with the ashes Thursday. Wolverines Look No Farther Ahead Than Upcoming Game By DAVE GREY To Michigan football players and coaches the most important game of the season is always just a few days ahead. No matter how much publicity and talk of top rankings, the prime aim of Coach Bennie Oost- erbaan and his over 60-man squad is "this Saturday's game." Glitter- ing praise from the press or vauge thoughts of Rose Bowls are not going to do much to upset this objective. Oosterbaan has even gone to the point of saying that a good player will pay no attention to what he reads in print. The main reason why this should be true lies in the fact that the "science" or stra- tedgy behind football is entirely different from that of any other sport. Study Opposition Practice for Saturday's game centers around the detailed study of the opposition. The only other major sport that trains in this manner would probably be boxing. Skill in football comes in knowing exactly what the other man is going to do./ There is no time for looking be- yond the Indiana contest. Come game time, many fans would be quite surprised at how "uncon- scious" a veteran athlete is of 97,- 000 fans. Many a roar or chant of "Rose Bowl, Rose Bowl" is never heard by the men on the field. Outstanding plays and key points are also looked at from a different angle. The newspaper- man again becomes "only another spectator." Take for example, the 82-yard punt return by Terry Barr against Army that drew raves from coast to coast. Barr's own description of the run still makes it sound like "elementary football" - certainly nothing spectacular. Several Key Blocks There were several key blocks, not all obvious, that started Barr on his way. The only player the speedy halfback recognized as an individual was big Ron Kramer, who was coming toward the ball carrier from a up-field angle. Barr remembers signaling to Kramer to go after Army safety Vinve Barta, but instead, No. 87 threw a beauti- ful block that shook Barr into the clear. It was on this play that Kramer injured his ribs. Once Barta started to back up, Barr was fairly sure that he would go all the way. He waited for the Army back to make his fatal move, and then capitalized on it by twisting left and out of reach. An obvious parallel can be drawn with a solo shot on goal in ice hockey. Michigan players are only try- ing to put into practice a week's study. Each Saturday is the "big test" and all else is forgotten. - PROFESSIONAL FRATERNITY FOOTBALL THIRD PLACE PLAYOFFS Laywers Club 13, Alpha Kappa Kappa 6 Delta Sigma Delta defeated Hospital (forfeit) FOURTH PLACE PLAYOFFS Delta Theta Phi 12, Phi Delta Chi 0 Alpha Kappa Psi 6, Delta Sigma Pi0 FIFTH PLACE PLAYOFFS Alpha Rho Chi defeated Phi Delta Epsilon (forfeit) Phi Rho Sigma defeated Tau Epsilon Rho (forfeit) SOCIAL FRATERNITY HANDBALL Pi Lambda Phi defeated Sigma Phi (forfeit) EUROPE Countries 1956 80 In Europe75 days (June 21-Sep 3) Shorter trip optional. $1095 from NY, all transport and hotels.
