These were the words -which Wolverine Coach Bennie Ooster- baan emphasized when he spoke about his first string center, Jerry Goebel. Goebel was a standout at center for the Wolverines in 1955 when as a sophomore he rotated with senior Larry Bates at the first string pivot position. Sidelined by Injury He was expected to take full possession of that job in 1956 but a broken leg, in the offseason kept 4i1m from the gridiron for the en- tire fall. Coming back for the 1957 season Hoosiers Drop Two Starters BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (M)-In- diana University, who has yet to win a Big Ten fotball game, yes- terday dismissed two starting players from their already under- manned squad. Halfback Victor Jones, second leading ground-gainer for the Hoosiers, and end Tom Aucreman who are both sophomores were dropped because of "repeated vio- lation of training rules" according to Acting Coach Bob Hicks. Idle of Line; rk on Passing Goebel wasn't even classified in the pre-season lineups. The aggressive 6'3" senior from Grosse Pointe, however, wasted no; time in showing that he was ready for more of the rugged football which he was accustomed to play- ing. By the time the USC game rolled around he was up to second string. Three games passed and by the time of the Wolverines' homecom- ing game against Northwestern, he was on the first eleven. Improves Game Oosterbaan also commented that both Goebel's blocking and defen- sive play have improved. Speaking about last week's game the Wol- verine coach praised the blond senior who plays left linebacker for his good defensive pass cover- age. PassPractice Yesterda.'s practice centered on passing. It started out with offen- sive aerial drills and carried on through defensive passing drills. The practice also featured a defen- sive scrimmage. Looking to this week, Oosterbaan said that Byers will start at the fullback slot even though Herrn- stein is working out. However, he did not ignore the possibility that Herrnstein might be used at some time during the game. Another change in the Wolverine lineup will have Chuck Teuscher at second string right end, re- placing the injured Dave Bowers. I, 0*1 SPECTACULAR COMEBACK-Jerry Goebel, who appeared on the Michigan scene as a fine sophomore prospect in 1955, but missed last season because of a broken leg, has broken into the first string lineup this season exhibiting much improvement and aggressive play.

As every season draws to a close, the eyes of the public scan the pages of papers across the country to see what teams are rated at the top of the collegiate list. The pub- lic knows that it is generally these teams that they will be seeing on television New Year's Day, playing in the major bowl games. Several Bans But this year there are several possible candidates that won't make it to the bowls-not because they aren't good enough, but be- cause of an organization com- monly known as the NCAA-the National Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation. At least three teams - North Carolina State, Auburn and UCLA -are on probation. They are ban- ned from bowl games and post- season and championship compe- tition in all sports, These three teams are the major ones that had the best chances of being invited to participate in bowl competition. North Carolina State is rated tenth in this week's AP poll after tying Duke last Saturday. But the Wolfpack was handed one of the stiffest penalties ever handed out by the NCAA for a basketball re- cruiting viloation last year. They were placed on probation for a four-year period, which won't end until November of 1960. Auburn Out At the present time, Auburn, rated fourth, is the leader of the Southeastern Conference. The SEC champion almost invariably gets a bowl bid and sometimes the run- ner-up is also invited. Some Escape Three of the better teams were recently removed from probation. Ohio State is back in contention in the Big Ten, and Oklahoma and Texas A&M, presently rated one- two nationally, completed their terms earlier this year, freeing them for almost definite bowl in- vitations. By The Associated Press CHICAGO-Oklahoma's narrow escape against Colorado cost the Sooners first place in the weekly Associated Press ranking poll as Texas A&M took over the lead. Colorado took the Sooners down to the wire before bowing 14-13 while the Texas Aggies shut out Baylor 14-0 for their sixth straight victory and 12th over a two-year span. On the basis of 10 points for first, nine for second and so on down to one for tenth, the Aggies edged Oklahoma, 1,457 points to 1,418. Iowa retained third place fol- lowed by Auburn in fourth, and Notre Dame who moved up to fifth. Michigan State University advanced to sixth spot; Duke is ranked seventh and Ohio 'State occupies eighth spot in the poll. Army is rated ninth and North Carolina State fills the tenth spot. Michigan moved into the num- ber twelve position after upsetting Minnesota last Saturday. Back of The Week CHICAGO-Tabbed as the pro- ducer of a one-man upset, full- back Jimmy Jones of the Univer- sity of Washington was named Associated Press Back of the Week yesterday. Jones, whose performance was mainly responsible for Washing- ton's 19-6 victory over the defend- ing Pacific Coast Conference champions, Oregon State, got the call by a very narrow margin over a half dozen ether stars through- out college football.
