To- is with the Southwest COLEMAN inner in the unpre- west Conference is gh task to perform. however, it appears e two teams which tle more power than ad, and consequent- the rest of the pack. .or and Texas A.&M. The Texas Aggies won the championship last year but were barred from playing in any bowl because of alleged excessive re- cruiting. But this year they are pure and rate a good chance of repeating last year's performance. Strong Backfield , Offensively the .Aggies are stronger with three qualified men filling the Vital quarterback posi- tion. Their halfbacks are rated tops in the Conference. Only one problem confronts Coach Paul (Bear) Bryant. He must find new -nen to fill the middle of the line where gradu- ation removed three regulars. Baylor, on the other hand, has much of the same line returning that lead the Bears to an upset win over Tennessee last year in the Sugar Bowl. 140 Ic Disc on Chri~c Ca O~rlr stmas Ards ed by :t 9'59 Inc, NO 8-=7900' a Texas Christian, which has been 1-2 in the conference these past two years, has been hard hit by graduation. Coach Abe Martin must rebuild from the bottom, but a promising group of sophomores makes TCU dangerous. Texas has a new coach, the old Oklahoma quarterback, Darrel Royal, and he has installed the hurry-up-style split T. In addition, 'the Longhorns lost no one of importance from last year and another good group of sophomores could help Texas pull many surprises. Powerful Passing Attack Rice, which has finished poorly in recent years, may be dangerous if it can combine an efficient running game with what should be the most powerful passing at- tack in the conference. Another team whose major problem is the line is Arkansas. Possessing lone 3f the fastest run- ning attacks in the Southwest, the Razorbacks should be con- sidered the most likely dark horse in the conference, Thereis a new coach at South- ern Methodist. He is Bill Meek, the man who steered Houston to the Missouri Valley Championship last year. His main task will be to re- build a team that lost five regu- lars from the line.. Texas Tech, which was admit- ted_, to the conference just last' year, will not'compete for the SWC title until 1960. We have heard them say they traveled 'round the world and ' could not get a haircut so good as here. YOU BE THE JUDGE 715 North University By The Associated Press While Michigan planed to sun- ny California, other Big Ten teams went through their last workouts' yesterday before Satur- day's conference debut. Minor injuries to three key per- formers still caused concern to head coach Bennie Oosterbaan. Fullback John Herrnstein still was limping slightly from knee and ankle injuries suffered three weeks ago. He has been able to order SMILING FAREWELL-RETURN?-Members of the Michigan football team boarding a bus on their way to Willow Run Airport where they inplaned for California and ther Saturday game with Southern California. The team which was jovial upon leaving should be the same upon returning if their ailments do not prove a handicap. The Wolverines are favored in the gane by three touchdowns. Big TenFootballTeams AwaitSaturday, Kickoff work out, but the injury has di- minished his speed. ! Prahst Bruised First string left end Gary Prahst was favoring a hip bruise which kept him out of last Saturday's dress rehearsal scrimmage. His substitute, sophomore Chuck Teuscher, was crippled by a twist- ed knee. All three injured players are expected to play Saturday., At East Lansing they were chanting "Rose Bowl - Rose Bowl" in Spartan Stadium. The Michigan State football squad was trotted into the stadi- um for the business of formal in- troductions to the new freshman class. Coach Dffy Daugherty intro- duced his players and had them run through a few bast.c patterns, for the 3,800 new students. MSU Yells 'Rose Bowl' A student cheer leader shouted the cry "Rose Bowl" and the stu- dents picked up the chant. Ob- viously embarrassed by the ex- citement, Daugherty observed, "I wish they'd let us win a few games ,first." Indiana brushed up on defense against Michigan State plays and polished kickoff and punt return formations in its final practice in Bloomington before leaving for Michigan State. Notre Dame Prepares At South Bend, Notre Dame coach Terry Brennan sent the squati through a dummy scrim- mage review of all offensive and defensive assignments prior to its game with Purdue. While in Lafayette, offensive and defensive tactics and the stu- dy of various kicking situations took up the major portion of Pur- due's last full scale drill. Northwestern plays Stanford to- morrow in the TV game of the week. AWheel of Activty The office of Earl Riskey is a busy place. , From that room come the plans and directions that each year fashion the most extensive intramural programs in the dountry. During the coming school year over 10,000 male students will parti- cipate in 36 different I-M sports at Michigan. Looking at the picture objectively, one would have to ask -" does Riskey manage to run this show?" The keyword - organization. Once the I-M schedule gets underway, with the many different sports in full swing, Riskey's highly mechanized program would put a six-ring circus to shame. Officially, the whole thing got underway Wednesday night, when the intramural managers from all of the teams in the different divi- sions met to plan the fall program. Actually, however, Riskey and his assistant, Rod Grambeau, have put in a lot of time beforehand, getting prospective schedules ready. The wheels of organization began to move as soon as the meet- ings started Wednesday night. The major project for the fall is touch football. In each of the meetings the number of teams that will be entered had to be determined. In residence hall and social fraternity play there are both A and B squads, depending on how many boys want to participate. In the independent and professional fraternity leagues the number of en- tries is always a question until the meetings, since there is not a di- rect carry-over as in the other two divisions. Once the number of teams is determined, the prospective sched- ules designed by Riskey and Grambeau can be filled. Residence halls play on Monday, social fraternity games on Tuesday and Wednesday, professional fraternities on Thursday, and independents on Friday. In each division the teams are divided in four-team leagues for the season. Later the teams will enter a series of playoffs to decide the division championships. Riskey explains that the secret of his organization is the farming out of responsibilit yto other men in the I-M department.. Aside from himself and Grambeau, there are six teaching fellows who handle the different divisions. From the Hub, Many Spokes . The six are all graduate students in physical education, and they each accept the responsibilities of scheduling and notification in their respective leagues. The assistants and their assignments are as follows: Cliff Sior- gren, faculty; Dan Wardrop, independents; Jim Clark, social frater- nity; Lynn Doherty, professional fraternity; George Ho p er, field supervisor in charge of officials; Howard Poppe, all camps, co-rec- reational and international center. The names of some of these men should ring a bell with Michi- gan sports followers. Clark was a top ranking pitcher on Michigan's baseball nine the past few seasons, and Doherty is one of Don Can- ham's assistant track coaches. The organization of the residence hall leagues, and the general coordination of the whole program fails on Grambeau's shoulders, and he is then directly responsible' to Riskey. Once the program is ready to roll, there are many details that must be looked to. For one, touch football Is a sport that demailids officials. Student officials are used, and have proved very competent in the past. Field supervisor Hopper has two seniors and three juniors in line to head the band of referees for this fall. Aside from their regular duties as referees of the games, Riskey gives the responsibility of choosing the I-M all-star teams to the officials. The main reason for this is that they are the only people who observe all of the games played under the I-M system. Guide Many Sports.. . Touch football, being the most popular sport during the fall, will be the first to begin. The first games on the schedule are for net week. Riskey wants to remind all expectant participants that they' must have filled out a health card before they will be permitted to play. Cards can be obtained at the I-M office or from your I-M ath- letic manager. , The only major rules change in touch football this, fall is that players will be permitted to wear regulation football shoes. No othet spiked shoes will be allowed, however. Because of the huge campus enrollment, Riskey feels that he isn't able to reach all of the male students successfully at this early stage in the semester. Each year there are aroun 16 teams in the indepen- dent league. Riskey believes that there are probably many more men on campus who would like to take part in the touch' football pro- gram, but who don't sign up on time, or who don't have a team to play on. He emphasizes the fact that any men who want to play in the independent league should come to the I-M Building and make known the fact. They will beplaced on a team, and new teams will be added to the present independent league. This goes for faculty members; too. Groups from the bacteriology and chemistry departments are already signed up. The Co-Recreational Program will start on Friday, October 11. This is an activity that is quickly gaining popularity on the I-M front. A busy man, and a busy program. a OC I----- - -u QUICKIE CHICKIE w m Free Delivery NO 2-9944. nsay Printers ~erty I iJ ACROSS FROM THE LAW QUAD . Major, League Standings f NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet.
