He must compete against the present top-ranked U.S. stars -- men like Seixas, Richardson, Lar- sen, and Herb Flam. And he must also move ahead of a host of new- comers like himself, who are hop- ing to replace the aging veteran netters in the top ranks. Giammalva, Holmberg, Mike Green, Mike Franks, Jack Frost are some of these younger men. Barry may make the coming Xl. year's campaign his last in seri- ously competitive tennis if he's unsuccessful.

By CARL RISEMAN Iowa won the Big Ten cham- pionship and a Rose Bowl trip to Pasadena, but Michigan and Ohio State proved to be the leading of- fensive and defensive teams re- spectively for the 1956 season. Michigan . State outgained the Wolverines 325.5 yards a game to 322.3 and led in scoring, 22 points a game to 20.4 points for Michi- gan. A wide margin for Michigan in first downs, in which the Spar- tans were tied for fourth, was suf- ficient to provide an edge in the final standings. Purdue Leads Yardage Ohio State failed to lead in any of the three defensive depart- ments. Purdue was first in yard- age allowance, giving up 215.4 yards a game, with Iowa in second place. The Boilermakers also gave up the fewest first downs. Iowa held their opponents to 7.3 points a game, giving up the fewest points in the conference. The individual player statistics were dominated by a pair of Boilermakers. Iowa ranked no higher than sixth in offense and fourth in de- fense. The Hawkeyes, however, al- lowed their opponents only 2.9 yards per running play and that one statistic is a principal clue to the team's success. Len Dawson, Purdue's brilliant passing specialist, became the first player on record to lead the Big Ten in both passing and total of- fense for three years. Fullback Mel Dillard won rushing honors. Dillard's principal rival for rushing honors, Abe Woodson of Illinois, failed to make a race of it as a result of an injury and ended with a net of 500 yards. Dillard gained 634 yards on the ground. Galen Cisco, Ohio full- back, had the best average per play, .7.5 yards. Wilson Second in Passing Pat Wilson, MSU quarterback, was second to Dawson in pass- ing. Bob Ptacek, Michigan's soph- omore halfback,ranked sixth. Frank Ellwood of Ohio led in scoring with 39 points. The Wol- verine's Terry Barr tied for sec- ond with Bobby Cox at 36 points. Brad Bomba of Indiana took pass catching honors with 25 re- ceptions. Michigan's All Ameri- can, Ron Kramer, placed second with 15. Clarence Peaks of Michigan State, injured in mid-season, had a punting average of 40.9 yards. Harry Jefferson of Illinois led in kickoff returns and Dennis Men- dyk of Michigan State in punt returns. Mendyk also shared a lead with Bill Happel of Iowa and Ed Quinn of Northwestern in pass interceptions at three. 1956 FOOTBALL: Michigan, OSU Top Offensive, Defensive Teams in Big Ten _ ,, "I l A M 4 THE QUARRY presents perfume from the heart of France That brilliant reaching, spicy perfume-every drop imported from France- - ,famous the world over for its "difference," its luxury, its extraordinary staying-power.
