THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, DECE Ioce r llacFia nla ndl Mends Tougher OppositionLies Ahead For Wolverine Team May Play in Dakota Series; Heyliger Pleased By Opener starter, scored 10 points while he was in, and did well under the boards. Perigo experimented with a two- platoon system Saturday. He had Ron Kramer, Jerry Stern, Tom Jorgenson, Wright and Tillotson start the game as a unit, but then substituted with Williams, Randy Tarrier, Milt Lingle, Jim Barron and Jim Shearon. The experiment didn't seem to be a bad one against Pitt, but it's doubtful whether this system will catch on-there are too many in- stances when only small substi- tutions are needed (or are effec- tive). Meanwhile, Perigo isn't resting. Saturday's home opener is with Nebraska, a team that scared Iowa over the weekend. By BRUCE BENNETT Michigan Captain Bill MacFar- land, injured in Saturday night's hockey opener with McGill, should be ready for this weekend's all important two game series with North Dakota. Trainer Carl Isaacson reported yesterday that the Wolverine star center's ankle injury is not as serious as was earlier believed. He diagnosed it as an ordinary sprain and said that if it continued to improve at the rate at which it has so far, MacFarland will be available for at least limited duty.

The Cleveland wrapped up its sixth straight Eastern Division title Sunday by rolling over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-7. The Washington Redskins, close behind Cleveland a week ago lost their thin title hopes when they fell to the New York Giants, 27- 20. This loss dropped Washington a game and a half behind Cleve- land, eliminating all possibility'of catching up. Giants Are Spoilers The Giants, incidentally, showed up as the team to fear as the sea- son drew to a close. They scared Cleveland last week by playing them to a 35-35 tie. The crushing of Washington Sun- day wound up their role as spoilers. The burst of late season strength also improvedNew sYork's position in the standings, bringing them from last to a respectable third. Cleveland's past supremacy in the Eastern Division has to a large part been dice to the quarterback- Ladies and Gentlemen, Step right up to your U OF M BARBER and demonstrate your fine taste by having your hair styled by an expert - 715 N. University ing of Otto Graham, and it went the same this season. Cleveland was not rated as the team to beat this year until Graham poined the club just before the first game of the season. It only took him about a game to warm up and Cleveland again looked like the champs of the East. West in Doubt Meanwhile in the Western Div- ision, Cleveland's opponent for the world championship has yet to be decided. The only definite thing to be said is it won't be the De- troit Lions again this year. Los Angeles and Chicago both won last Sunday, but Los Angeles still holds on to its precious half game lead, which very well may be the deciding margin. Los Angeles had no trouble with the Colts, beating them 20-14. The loss knocked Baltimore from the competition for first place. The Bears, however, had to fight an uphill battle all the way against the last place Lions, finally de- feating them in the last five minutes by the margin of an extra point, 21-20. The Lions had a comparatively good chance to salvage the con- test with less than a minute re- maining if Doak Walker could have made good a 26 yard field goal attempt. The kick was wide, how- ever, and the miss secured the, game for the determined Bears. Next week's games, the last of the season, will decide the West- ern Division crown. Los Angeles, with its slim lead, must play the tougher opponent on paper. The Rams will meet Green Bay, in third place, while the Bears play the fifth place Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams play on home' soil, giving them that advantage. Here are some more facts: the Packers beat Los Angeles at their last meeting, 30-28---the Packers have won six games and lost five. The Eagles have whipped the Cleveland Browns, $3-17, and have tied and beaten the Chicago Cards, the team which humbled the Bears, 40-7, on Thanksgiving weekend. The Eagles have a 4-6-1 record. There are the opponents. Both Los Angeles and Chicago are strong, and all Ios Angeles had to do is win. Chicago must win and pray for a Packer upset. The other games this weekend saw Philadelphia beating the Cards, 27-3, and Green Bay walk- ed over San Francisco, 28-7. MacFarland collided feet first with the boards behind the Mc- Gill net, after being foiled in an attempt to score. He left the ice under his own power, but went straight to the locker room, caus- ing much anxiety among the Michigan fans. MacFarland, however, was back on skates again Sunday to exer- cise the ankle and also skated at yesterday's regular practice ses- sion. Coach Vic Heyliger, meanwhile, is not taking any chances. In case MacFarland can't play, he plans to use sophomore Don McIntosh in his place on the first line and to move handiy man Neil Buchanan into McIntosh's slot on the third line. Heyliger Pleased Aside from MacFarland's injury, Michigan came through the opener in fine shape. Considering it was the first game of the season, Hey- liger was pleased with his team's showing. "We were a little ragged around both nets at times, but this should improve with time,"'he said. The North Dakota outfit, ac- cording to Heyliger, will give Mich- igan some of the stiffest compe- tition it will have to face this year. He stressed that they are a vastly improved team; over that which suffered 7-0 and 7-2 de- feats in Ann Arbor last February. The two games are of special importance in the Western Inter- collegiate Hockey League stand- ings since they are each worth two points, because they are the only meetings between the two schools this year. North Daliota will be fresh.from a 5-4 victory over Michigan State's ice squad last Saturday. Michi- gan's other entry in the WHL, Michigan Tech, won two exhibition games over Port Arthur, Ontario last weekend. s )Z OSU's Freeman Scores 40 In Last Night's Cage Activity a By appointment purveyors of soap to the late King George VI, Yardley & Co., Ltd., London By The Associated Press Even All-American Robin Free- man wasn't enough to prevent Ohio State from going down to defeat, 76-67, before a sharp-shoot- ing Vanderbilt five at Columbus last night. Freeman hit for 40 points, mak- ing sixty per-cent of his field-goal attempts, on his usual wide varie- ty of deadly shots. Vanderbilt jumped off to an early lead of seven points at the end of the first quarter, and never trailed in the game. A last-quarter rally, led by Freeman, brought the Buck- eyes within five points of the Com- modores with only four and a half minutes left in the game. Four of Vanderbilt's starting five hit double figures, as the team made 24 field-goals in 48 tries for a smart fifty per-cent effi- ciency. Guard Al Rochelle led the way with 23 points. At the free throw line the Com- modores, who were 17th in the nation last year, made seventy-six per-cent of their charity tosses. In Lawrence, Kansas, anothei Big Ten school went down to de- feat. Kansas, a favorite in the Big Seven title chase, opened its basketball season with a 91-70 vic- tory over Northwestern. This was Northwestern's second defeat, hav ing been beaten by Western Michi- gan on Saturday night. Wisconsin Tops Notre Dame Wisconsin, the other Big Ten school in action, beat Notre Dame 70-66 in a~ close game.
