T' SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1957 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TARES Northwestern Also Hurt Badly By Flu and Injuries p t4 Comment BY JIM BAAD Today is a day for spirit and intestinal fortitude on the part of Michigan's Wolverines. It will probably take a bit more than superior raw talent to win this one. One week ago the team was built up to a fever pitch of optimism. The players and the coaches knew from the reports that they were the underdogs but a11 felt deep in their hearts that the team from East Lansing could be beaten. The resulting avalanche of Michigan State power was a crushing blow. It went far beyond the worst fears of all personnel directly concerned. Not only didn't we win, we were thoroughly outplayed and outclassed along with being more than slightly humiliated. That day is now past but there is no doubt that the memories hang in the air-they hung over the ,practice field during the week, they're down at the clubhouse this morning, and will be out over the Stadium this afternoon. Head Coach Bennie Oosterbaan knew last Monday that his toughest job this week would be to direct the spirit of his team away from the discouragement of defeat and toward the goal ahead, this afternoon's clash with Northwestern. Also on the week's agenda was a solid week of work to sharpen up the weak points which glared in the State game. It was a good, healthy schedule to accomplish, one which would require little interference from extraneous detractions. Nothing has seemed to work out, however, as the week has been filled with all kinds of outside interruptions. The flu, which has been ranging on the outside world, swept into the inoculated world of football and at one point had 23 of Oosterbaan's personnel either sitting out practices or working out at lower than peak efficiency. The weather, also, has been adverse. A chill in the air most of the week plus continuous rain on Wednesday played havoc with the flu cases and seriously cut into the practice schedule timewise. From a physical standpoint, then, Michigan is going into the Northwestern game far from its potential best. John Herrnstein won't dress for the game. Performers like Stan Noskin, Brad Meyers, and s Bob Ptacek are not at their peak because of the flu. The whole team as a unit is slightly behind schedule because of the heavily interrupted practice sessions. Admittedly Northwestern is having its own troubles with the bug and injuries. But they are the underdogs and will definitely be up for this game. The Wildcats are looking for their first Big Ten win and as the Conference adage goes-beat Michigan and you have had a successful season. The Wildcats' coach, Ara Parseghian, is a proven master at talk- ing his team to the supreme effort. Last year he told his players they were winners so convincingly that they turned in more wins than they've had in years. This year opponents have been preparing a little more carefully for the Wildcats, but Parseghian is still talking. Therefore, it's probably going to take more than just physical superiority for Michigan to play a top-notch ball game. There will r definitely have to be a large portion of that intangible called spirit and the more tangible intestinal fortitude present if the Wolverines are going to bounce back from last week's disappointment and show some of the power that, on paper, is there. There will have to be some added drive in the line, some up-to-par blacking from the backs, and some individuals will have to have a good day if Michigan is going to start down the winning road. Last year Michigan was faced with a similar situation after the loss to State, 9-0. After this loss the mumblings were loud and many that the Wolverines were "highly overrated" and "not realizing their potential." Next on the schedule was Army. Michigan rose to the occasion and dumped the Cadets, 48-14, and went on to compile a Conference record of 5-2 to remain in the thick of the Rose Bowl contention right up to the final day. Again Michigan is at the crossroads. Here is a hope that the winning spirit of past years is deeply instilled today. Passing Attu In This Yeaj (Continued from Page 1) last year will be _t his regular position at left guard, but at right guard Parseghian has had to call on third stringer John Lake. Regular center Frank Bennett returns to the line-up after an injury session. Parseghian has more troubles in his backfield. Quarterback John Talley, with 21 completions in 39 passes for 170 yards, will be in for limited action as will Chip Five B Ten Teams Risk First Loss By The Associated Press Five unbeaten Big Ten teams risk their perfect record today; one of the five must stumble. Iowa and Wisconsin meet each other at Iowa City, and they both have perfect records. A deadlock is a possibility in the important Iowa City contest, but the defending champion Hawkeyes are a one- touchdown favorite over the sur- prising Badgers, who also won their only league start to date. Each risks a perfect 3-0record. Michigan State, 2-0, the nation's No. 1 team in the Associated Press poll, and Ohio State, 1-0, are ex- pected to brush aside two winless invaders, Purdue, 0-2, and Indiana, 0-2, respectively. The fifth undefeated conference entry, Minnesota, 2-0, is a two- touchdown favorite, but wary of an upset, against Illinois, 0-1, in an Illini Homecoming game which will be televised nationally. Wisconsin is the biggest surprise of the still-young season. The Bad- gers were written off in pre-cam- paign ratings as a rebuilding, un- seasoned club destined to land deep in the second division. But coach Milt Bruhn has de- veloped a quick striking, poised team with exceptionally fine ball carriers. Quarterback Sid Williams and halfback Danny Lewis, the club's only real veteran ballcarrier, have been outstanding. In Wiscon- sin's 23-14 triumph over Purdue last Saturday, Lewis averaged 16.8 yards per carry in rolling up 134 yards. Williams romped 85 yards for a 9.2 average against the Boilermakers. rck Featured r s Offense Holcomb, the Wildcat's other top- flight signal caller. Third string- er Bert Fredrick will get the call. At the other backfield positions, things are rosier. Fans here will remember diminutive Bob Mc- Keiver, who last year ran around the stadium as if he owned it. He returns to the lineup to reassert his rights against the Wolverines after recovering from a chest in- jury suffered early this season. At the other haelfback will be Willie Fowler, Big Ten Sprint Champion who runs the 100 yd. dash in :09.7. Ed Quinn will be at his regular fullback slot. Stand In Also Threat Another threat in the Wildcat backfield is Ron Burton, McKeiv- er's stand-in. He is currently the team's leading ground gainer with 167 yards in 22 carries for a 7.5 average. Up to now Parseghian's Split-T unit has been concentrating heav- ily on their air attack. Last year Northwestern completed 33 passes all year. This season they've com- pleted 34 with their two top quar- terbacks limited in use. The Wildcats have been on the losing end of all their games this year, but with both teams whittled down by injuries and sickness they cannot be consid- ered a weak opponent. N. Car. State Miami .battle o oDeadlock By The Associated Press MIAMI, Fla. -Unbeaten North Carolina State and Miami wound up in a scoreless deadlock last night after a dull defensive foot- ball battle that kept 40,783 fans slumped in bored silence all the way. The tie interrupted a four-game winning streak by North Carolina State, the nation's 12th ranking foobtall team. Miami had lost two of its previous games. * * * West Virginia Wins WASHINGTON--West Virginia sprung a fleet of fast, crashing backs on George Washington last night and powered its way to a 34-14 victory over the Colonials in chilly Griffith Stadium.

Pittsburgh plays Army, in a game that will decide who will win the Lambert Trophy, symbol of the eastern championship. The big mobile Pitt team has regained its rating as one of the East's best by defeating Oregon, Southern Cali- fornia, and Nebraska after an opening-day loss to Oklahoma. Army, jolted by Notre Dame last weekend, will be up for this game, after throwing away its last. The winnerbof the game will be in a favorable position in the Lambert Trophy balloting for the rest of the season. Washington State puts in its bid for the Rose Bowl invitation, against Oregon. This is notable since Washington State is a virtual outsider in the conference race. However, unbeaten Oregon State, who is favored to repeat its cham- pionship is ineligible to go to the post-season affair, because it went last year. A combination of NCAA and Conference penalties have elimi- nated three of the stronger teams, therefore a win today would just about clinch a Rose Bowl invita- tion for Washington State. By SI COLEMAN When Michigan trots onto the field today, it will be, as in. the past, heavy favorites to defeat the Wildcats of Northwestern. This was also true in four past games, but in those the Wildcats surprised. In 1917 the Wolverines returned to the conference after a nine- year lapse with a game against Northwestern. The Wolverines were, then as now, heavy favorites. Quick Score But a few minutes after the opening kickoff Marsh Underhill passed twenty-five yards "to Les Arries for the firt of three quick Wildcat scores. Swept off their feet the Wolverines came back to score two late TD's but it was not enough. The final score was 21-12 -the Purple's first triumph over Michigan since 1892. Two meetings brought two wins for the Wolverines between 1917 and 1924. But 1925 was another story. Rain pelted Chicagomfor six days prior to the game. With Fielding H. Yost at the helm, Michigan had not been scored upon in their first five games that season. Overwhelming favorites they had an explosive passing com- bination, Bennie Friedman to Bennie Oosterbaan. Short on Talent Northwestern was short on tal- ent. Its two stars, end Waldo Fisher and halfback 'Moon' Bak- er were injured. Grant Park stadium was a sea of mud. A steady driving rain poured relentlessly and both teams found it impossible to car- ry on any semblance of football. The echoes of the opening whistle had hardly died out when fullback Leland Lewis booted the ball squarely between the up- rights from Michigan's 15-yd. line for enough points to beat Michigan 3-2. String Smashed In 1938 Michigan had another great season. Before the North- western game Michigan had won five games and dropped one, a 7-6 decision to Minnesota. It Was the year of Harmon and- Evashevski. The winner of the game would become the odds-on favorite to capture the mythical Big Ten Title. The two teams met under over- cast skies before 66,700 fans. Aft- er four quarters of intense fot- ball, the scoreboard read 0-0, a heartbreaking story for both sides. In 1949 Michigan once again ruled a favorite to beat the Wild- cats. Names like Ortmann, Ten- inga and Kempthorne dotted the Wolverine line-up. A combination of Oosterbaan and Fritz Crisler teams had won 15 consecutive contests against Big Ten opponents over a three- year period. Northwestern had tied Michigan, 14-14 three years earlier in 1946. The Wolverines ran into a spir- ited Wildcat squad in Dyche Sta- dium. When the roar from the game died out, the results showed Northwestern scoring a stunning upset over the defending champs of the Big Ten, 21-20.

Today we will do the same for college men. The most important thing to remember, gentlemen, is to dress with verve, with dash, with inventiveness. Don't be imprisoned by the traditional conservatism of men's clothing. Brighten up your appearance with a single earring, or a cavalry saber, or a gold derby. 4\ 6iur~IA6J'1 c az1s However, guard against gaudiness. If, for instance, you are wearing a gold derby, do not also wear a cavalry saber. This is too much. Wear a dagger instead, or, for formal occasions, a bowie knife. Let us turn now to a persistent rumor that a gar- ment called the "suit" is on the verge of making a comeback. Some of you older students may remember this "suit." It was an ensemble consisting of a jacket and trousers, both of which-this'll kill you-both of which were made out of the same material! The last "suit" ever seen on an American campus was in 1941-and I ought to know because I was wearing it. I was an undergraduate then, and in love -hopelessly in love with a beauteous statistics major named Harry Sigafoos. (She is one of the two girls I have ever known named Harry. The other one is her sister.) I loved Harry madly, though her expensive tastes were the ruin of me. Bit by bit I sold off my belong- ings to pursue this costly courtship-first my books, then my clothes, until finally I was left with nothing to wear but a "suit". One night I came calling for her in this garment and she, of course, slashed me across the face with a riding crop and sent me from her door. I slunk home and lit a Marlboro and sat down to think. I always light a Marlboro when I sit down to think, for their good mild flavor is a great aid to cere- bration. I always light a Marlboro when I don't sit down to think, too, because Marlboro is my favorite cigarette, and I know it will be yours, too, once you make the acquaintance of that filter, that flavor, that fliptop box. As the man says, you get a lot to like with a Marlboro. Well, sirs, smoking and thinking thus, my eye hap- pened to fall on an ad in a campus newspaper which said: "WIN A COMPLETE WARDROBE! Touhy's Toggery, the campus's leading men's store, announces a contest to pick the best-dressed man on campus. The winner will receive absolutely free a complete new wardrobe!" Struck by a sudden inspiration, I took pen in hand and wrote a letter to Mr. Touhy of Touhy's Toggery: "Sir-I see by the paper that you are giving a com- plete new wardrobe to the best-dressed man on cam- pus. What a ridiculous idea! "Obviously, to be the best-dressed man on campus, you must first have a lot of clothes, and if you have a lot of clothes, what do you need with another wardrobe? "Touhy's Toggery should give a new wardrobe to the worst-dressed man on campus. Me, for instance. The vital part of Jockey underwear lasts longer than the rest of the garment. + TRUE F PALSE True. The waistband is usually the weak point of most underwear, but Jockey developed a special, long- wearing, heat-resistant elastic (with U.S. Rubber and the American In- stitute of Laundering) that actually outwears the garment itself. f "In a big company, a young man can get to tackle big jobs" "The thing that has impressed me most in my two years at General Electric," says 28-year-old Yusuf A.

Because of the scope of the company's research and development gramed by the U. S. government.
