WHl .MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE TIlE MICHIGAN IiAILY PAGE THRE! Wlolverinles Try To Regain Victory Tail o d Cards, Lions Pull Upsets; Pace NFL By PAUL BORMAN Upsets have been commonplace and pre-season predicitions have been thrown out the window after the opening two weeks of the National Professional Football League season. The present standings find the undefeated Detroit Lions and Chi- cago Cardinals on the top of the standings in their respective leagues. Both of these teams were picked by the "expert." to finish at or very close to the bottom of the standings, but they are now giving the "know-it-alls" ulcers. Quarterbacks Surprise Surprisingly enough, the same factor, good quarterbacking, has been the key weapon for both teams. Bobby Layne, the tall blond' Texan who quarterbacked the Lions to the previous champion- ships in 1953-54, has recovered championship form. He is throw- ing the pigskin with amazing re- sults. In last Sunday's game when the ;Lions upset the heavily-favored Baltimore Colts, Layne threw for a spectacular 236 yards. Another southerner has been the kingpin of the Chicago Car- dinal offense. Lamar McHan who quarterbacked at the University of Arkansas has finally been able to put the explosive running of the Cardinal backfield to goo use. Last Sunday, Ollie Matson, Dave Mann and Johnny Olszewski combined with McHan to upset the New York Giants, 35-27. McHan passing ac- counted for 136 yards and two touchdowns. 1e a n w h il e, quarterbacking troubles have been plagueing last year's champions. Browns Have Trouble Paul Brown's Cleveland Browns are having trouble in finding a replacement for their previous field-general, Otto'. Graham, who retired. Quarterbacks George Rat- terman and Babe Parilli have only been able to lead the Brown of- fense to three touchdowns in the first two games. The Los Angeles Rams have a problem of too many good quarter- backs. Coach Sid Gillman has Norm Van Broklin, Bill Wade and Rudy Bukich to choose from and apparently he is not concentrating on any one. Last Sunday the Rams' inconsistent offense lost, to the San Francisco 49er's. POTENTIAL THREAT-Wolverine halfback Jim Pace is snagged by a cadet tackler in the game with Army a year ago. Michigan romped to a 26-2 win over the West Pointers. Action such as this is typical of the colorful Army-Michigan series. CADETS HOLD 5-1 EDGE: 'M-Arm Series Short but Colorful By BOB McELWAINv Michigan and Army have met only six times on the gridiron, but seldom in Wolverine football his- tory has a series provided as much color and excitement. Six games they have played, and the. mighty Black Knights have returned home victorious on five occasions. In fact, up; until Michi- gan's memorable win last year, Army had the unusual distinction of being the only team the Wolver- ines had faced and never defeated. The. Cadets still hold a comfort- able edge in the series, holding the distinction of being one of a hand- ful of teams to have more victories over Michigan than it has won from them. Began in '45 The colorful battles began in 1945, indeed an unfortunate year for any team to face the West- Pointers. For the legendary "Mr. Inside" and "Mr. Outside," Felix (Doc) Blanchard and Glenn Davis were Just beginning their rise to, gridiron fame. Together these "Gold Dust Twins" gained 300 yds.- on the ground, and led the Cadets to vic- tory number one, a 28-7 verdict over the outclassed Wolverines. The following year this terrible duo was back, only to be met head-{ on by a spirited bandof Wolver- ines, led by Michigan's own "Touchdown Twins," Bob Chap- pius, and "Bump" Elliott, them- selves just launching memorable gridiron careers. Extolled by many as the most exciting game in the entire series, Michigan courageously fought on even terms with the Cadets for most of the fray, only to wind up on the short end of a heart-break- ing 20-13 scoreto the more ex- perienced Army squad. When the teams met again, in 1949, two memorable winning streaks were on the line. Mighty Michigan had rolled over its last There will be a meeting for .all freshman and varsity swim- mers and anyone else interested in Varsity swimming Monday at 4:15 at the Varsity Pool. -John Narcy, Captain -Gus Stager, Coach 25 opponents, while Army sported a 14-game skein of its own. Michigan's star tailback, Chuck Ortmann, incurred a slight con- cussion on the second play, and had to leave the game. With him went the Wolverines' once-potent air attack, and the Cadets once again powered their way to vic- tory, 21-7. The following year Yankee Sta- dium hosted the two teams, the only game in the series to be played away from Ann Arbor. But the change of scenery didn't help Michigan. Army Wins, 27-6 After trading touchdowns the first half of a bitterly contested battle, Army began a second-half surge that threatenedto be a rout, as they roared to a 27-6 win. After a three-year lapse, the Black Knights once again came to Ann Arbor, and walked off with a decisive 26-7 triumph. The Cadets could do no wrong as they marched effortlessly over the Wolverines, much to the disappointment of the pro-Michigan throng. Five straight humiliating defeats at the hands of the West Pointers! Every loyal Michigan fan scowled at the very mention of "Army." That was before last year's game. Army Arrived Confident' A favored Army team arrived, confident of picking up victory number six. But they met up with a fired-up, revenge-filled Michigan team, determined to reverse the tables. And reverse the tables they did! Taking command from the open- ing kickoff, -ichigan outplayed and out-maneuvered the Cadets, and completely dominated the en- tire game. Responding to the cheers of the packed Stadiun, the Wolverines rolled to a surprisingly easy 26-2 win, and gained back much of their lost prestige. Number seven is slated for this afternoon, and will be the last tilt between the rivals for a few years. While the future may be indefinite, one thing is certain today-Michi- gan wants, and needs this one badly. It is advised that students try to arrive at the stadium Sat- Urday well before the 1:30 p n. kickoff time to avoid conges- tion. --Don Weir Ticket Manager Stengel Inks' Two-Year Yank Pact NEW YORK (P)-Gray-haired Charles Dillon "Casey" Stengel, who last Wednesday managed the: New York Yankees to their sixth World Series title in his regime, signed yesterday to pilot them for two more years. The announcement was made at a news conference by General Manager George Weiss. The 66-yr. old Stengel, who will draw around $75,000 a year on the new contract, said: "I don't see why I have to retire as long as my health is good. And I feel mighty good ... particularly since the World Series." He took over the Yankees in 1949. An independently wealthy man with at least a score of oil wells, Stengel indicated the Yankees against would be gushing with top- flight players in 1957. "You saw the way my young pitchers came through in the Se- ries," he declared. "I think it'll give them added confidence for next season. "We've got a young staff with Ford, Kucks, Larsen, Grim, Tur- ley and Sturdivant. My infield is in good shape and we've got Hank Bauer and Mickey Mantle for a start in the outfield."

()-Pur- due's head coach, Jack Mollen- kopf, yesterday was added to the northern coaching staff for the All-Star Blue-Gray football game in December. He joins Don Faurot of Missouri and Murray Warmath of Minneso- ta on the Blue staff. Mollenkopf coached the Boilermakers to a 5-2-1 record in the tough Big Ten conference last year. Calhoun Wins TKO in Eighth Over Sullivan CLEVELAND OP)-Rory Calhoun slugged his way to a technical knockout victory over John L. Sullivan of, England last night by flooring Sullivan for a three- count at the end of the seventh round and hitting him at will in the eighth before Referee JackieI Davis stopped that round after1 nine seconds. Calhoun had Sullivan in trouble from the sixth round on, but Sul- livan battled back gamely until a smashing left to the stomach ear- ly in the seventh round took most of the fight outof him. When the bell sounded for round 8, Calhoun caine clear across the ring to Sullivan's corner and landed three straight rights to the jaw of the dazed Britisher. Ref- eree Davis then pulled Calhoun off. The fight had been scheduled for 10 rounds.

Coach Blaik has done some shift- ing in his line, but he still will be able to use five of last year's first- stringers to start. Three Cadet linemen will be equal or superior in weight to their counterparts in Michigan's forward wall. Wilmoth will top Wolverine right tackle Al Sigman by 19 pounds, with Capt. Ed Svetecz will match the weight of Michigan's Mike Rotunno at center. Moved from right tackle to right end, Army's Dick Stephenson will give a 28-lb. advantage to the man he faces-Kramer, and left end Art Johnson of the Cadets will be 15-lbs. below Wolverine right end Tom Maentz. Nyren Outweighs Opponent The second Army newcomer in the line, left guard, Dick Fadel, will be at a 15-lb. disadvantage against right guard Mary Nyren of Michigan. Fadel is not new to the varsity, but he, too, has been beset by in- juries in the past and is earning his first letter this year as a sen- ior. Stan Slater, who has been shift- ed from left to right guard, will be outweighted by Wolverine. left! kuard Dick Hill, 198-190.But for- mer right guard-now right tackle Flay Goodwin will top Wolverine left tackle Jim Orwig by a 205- 196 margin. Goodwin gained a claim to fame last year as Army's lone scorer against Michigan. Late in the game he caught reserve quarterback Jack Greenwood in the Wolverine end zone for the Cadets' only two points of the contest. If Michigan can win today, it will bring its record to 2-1 for the season with victories over UCLA and Army sandwiched around its heart-breaking loss to Michigan State. A triumph over the Cadets would bring the Wolverines' record to 2-5 against the only team that it has a losing mark against in the mod- ern era of football.

By BRUCE BENNETT The national college grid pic- ture for today is devoid of a major intersectional battle as most teams return to their own areas for in most cases one more tune up be- fore beginning their conference play next week. The South and the Southwest seem to have the corner on "big games," outside of the Big Ten, but several of the Pacific Coast games could be of major impor- tance since there are a couple of encounters that may go a long way in determining the PCC's rep- resentative in the Rose Bowl. Cal-Oregon State The top game on the Coast should be the California-Oregon State fracas. The Golden Bears' from Berkeley may prove to be the surprise of the conference and their upset of Pitt last week shows that they are capable of making it mighty uncomfortable for any foe. For Oregon State, beaten by Southern Cal two weeks ago, it is one of those "must-win" situa- tions if the Beavers hope to keep their title hopes alive. Other conference games are Ore- gon at Washington and Washing- ton State at UCLA. Stanford, after losing to two of the nation's top teams, Michigan State and Ohio State, takes a breather in playing San Jose State. The top game in the South is' the Mississippi-Vanderbilt clash, bringing together two of the top rushing games in the country. Kentucky, rebounding last week after two straight defeats, takes on a rugged Auburn team. Tech in Top Five Georgia Tech, ranked in the top five in the major press asso- ciations last week, takes on a stub- born LSU eleven. The headliner in the Southwest, is the battle in Dallas' Cotton Bowl between Oklahoma and Texas. The Sooners, as might be expected, are heavy favorites, but if the Longhorns can get their thus-far sputtering attack working smooth- ly, they could make a game out of Baylor, conqueror of Maryland last week, opens its Conference state against Arkansas. The Bears cannot afford to let down against Arkansas, despite the fact that the Porkers looked poor against TCU last' Saturday. Southwest Wide Open The Southwest Conference has always been a wide open circuit, with a team that looks poor one week, apt to turn in a surprising upset the next. TCU, Texas A & M and SMU all play out of the conference, meeting Aabama, Houston and Florida, respectively. The best in the Ivy league will see Yale at Columbia and Prince- ton at Penn. West Virginia is at Syracuse in the top independent game. ENJOY Carry-Out Beer Service WV Sea ve at the Del Rio Restaurant & Wine rrved 9375. 122 West Washington at Ashley Open 4 P.M. to 12 P.M.
