The Bests and Worsts of 1957:
A. Final Look at Michigan Footballs
V
THE 1957 football season is past history now as far as Michigan
is concerned, so look back with us at some of the peak performances
(both ways) during the past months as a season's wrap-up:
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Jim Pace. The test for a most
valyable player is--where would the team have finished without him?
The Wolverines were sixth with him; without him (?)-look out
Northwestern and Indiana!
MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: Jim Van Pelt. He blossomed as a
strong passer and great team leader, guiding Michigan to title conten-
tion in mid-season. Injuries slowed him in the late stages and Michi-
gan missed him.
BEST LINEMAN: Larry Paul. A tough choice here, but Larry is it
because of his alertness, both on offense and defense. He's not big for
a guard, but is fast and often leads interference. Made many key
tackles this fall.
BEST SOPHOMORE: Brad Myers. Came out of nowhere to
become the team's best right halfback. Has speed, drive, and good
defensive sense. Was second to Pace on team in rushing with 253
yards; scored four touchdowns. .
MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER: Bob Boshoven. Switched to end
this fall and did a bang-up job. Probably the best defensive end on
the team and worked hard to become a capable receiver. Caught
three passes.
MOST OVERRATED PLAYER: Fred Julian. Injuries slowed him,
but even fo he wasn't even a shadow of the player the coaches
thought he would be. He scarcely played after the Michigan State
game.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: John Herrnstein. Handicapped by
injuries, this big fellow never regained the form he flashed last year.
A healthy Herrnstein could have made a big difference this fall.
MOST PROMISING FUTURE: Stan Noskin. If he learns to play
defense well, he could be great. An extraordinary passer, competent
field general and showed running ability.
BEST OPPOSING BACK: Walt Kowalczyk, Michigan State. This
big, powerful back was the meanest runner Michigan faced all )year.
He possesses great speed, scored State's first touchdown and gained 114
yards rushing against the Blue.
BEST OPPOSING LINEMAN: Alex Karras, Iowa. He was a key
factor both on offense and defense in the Hawkeyes' second-half come-
back. Was the "fifth man" in Michigan backfield on Nov. 2.
BEST ALL-AROUND OPPONENT: Bob White, Ohio State. Besides
gaining 163 yards on 30 carries, this monster backed the line and
played offensive center against the Wolverines. It took three and four
men to bring hirp down. A great clutch yardage man.
WORST MICHIGAN STRATEGY: Whatever transpired in the
locker room during halftime at about five (count 'em) games. Michigan
either blew or nearly blew these games in the third quarter: Michigan
State, Northwestern, Iowa, Illinois and Ohio State.
SECOND WORST STRATEGY: Sparse use of Van Pelt against
Illinois. He nearly engineered a victory in eight minutes, think what he
might have done in only 18!
BEST MICHIGAN STRATEGY: Defensing Minnesota and Bobby
Cox. This was a team effort that kept Cox and the Gopher backs off
balance all day. They made only one first down in the first half.
BEST TEAM MICHIGAN FACED: A, close contest here, but Ohio
gets the nod over Michigan State. A game between them would be
won in the line and this is where the Buckeyes have a slight edge on
speed. Ohio's lack of passing might hurt them, but it didn't against'
seven other Conference foes, so the guess is they'd get by the Spartans,
too.
- MOST OVERRATED OPPOSING PLAYER: Bobby Cox, Minnesota
quarterback. As Cox went, so went the Gophers. Neither went very far
and the Gopher partisans even. booed the "Golden Boy" during the
game we saw. R
BEST ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE BY A MICHIGAN PLAY-
ER: Van Pelt against Minnesota. He did everything well-ran, passed,
punted, kicked three extra points, booted a field goal.

By The Associated Press
Auburn, the only undefeated
major college football team in the
nation, was ranked on top' of the
Associated Press poll this week.
Ohio State and Michigan State,
the powers of the Big Ten, ranked
second and third in the next to the
last week of voting.
With only a week of major
games remaining, Auburn is the
only one of the top three with a
game yet to play. They will be
entertaining Alabama this Satur-
day, while the Western Conference
leaders have finished their season.
A&M Fourth
Following these three in the
poll were Texas A&M fourth,
Oklahoma fifth, Iowa sixth, Mis-
sissippi seventh, Navy eighth, Rice
ninth, and Army tenth.
Of the last seven teams, two
have finished their schedules, while
five will be risking their positions
this week. The only clash among
top contenders will be Saturday
when Army and Navy meet in their
annual contest.
'Turkey Day' Game
Texas A&M will host Texas in
their "Turkey Day" game Thurs-
day, while Rice and SMU will meet
Saturday in the other big South-
western Conference game.
Mississippi will meet Mississippi
State on Saturday, also, while Iowa
and Oklahoma are the other two
powers who have finished their
schedules.
Back of the Week
The AP voted Dick Christy of
North Carolina State back of thej
week for his sterling play against
South Carolina. Christy scored all
of the points for his team as they
downed their opponents,. 29-26.
His 29 points included the win-
ning field goal on the final play of
the game. His accomplishment
established a scoring record for a
single man in a single game for the
Southeastern Conference.
All four touchdowns came on
short plunges, one of them with
three seconds to go in the first
half. He gained 79 yards rushing
and 50 more on a punt return.

Michigan's fast-breaking basket-
ball team opened up a 55-22 half-
time lead and then coasted to an
89-59 victory over a surprising
freshman team last night.
The game, played before nearly
1,000 fans at Yost Feld House, was
outstanding for the early-season
speed of both teams.
The big gun for the varsity was
forward Pete Tillotson, the Michi-
I Fast Start
well Star for Freshmen
gan captain, with 28 points. He
scored 18 of these in the first 18
minutes of the opening half, main-
ly on jump shots from outside.
High Scoring Captain
The remainder of his baskets
came when the 6'6" husky raced
down the court for layups on the
many Michigan fast breaks. He
counted 13 buckets in all.
Teamwise, the most impressive
features were the rebounding and
passing, the factors that lead to
the fast breaks. Burton, Tarrier
and Tillotson constantly pulled the
ball off the boards, passed out
quickly and then raced down the
court to take sharp, accurate pass-
es to score.
Good Depth
Michigan also showed that they
have fairly good depth in Bill
Wright, Terry Miller and Gordy
Rogers.
With about two and a half min-
utes to go in the first half, Coach
Bill Perigo put these three men
in with Lee and Tarrier, and sent
them into a 1-2-2 zone defense to
bottle up the freshmen. Earlier
they were outstanding as they in-
dividually spelled the starters.
Two Top Freshmen
Led by Steve Jordan and John
Tidwell, the freshmen showed that
they too could hit on jump shots
from almost any point on the
court as they outscored the varsity,
37-33, in the second half.
The real surprise for the fresh-
men, however, was Arlen Parker.
With an unorthodox shooting style
he scored 14 points.
Work To Do
Getting back to the varsity, they
showed that they still have plenty
of work to do before the Big Ten
season starts. Primarily, they have
to move the ball faster on their
patterns when their fast break is
stopped. Several times against the
freshmen they were content to fire
set shots from outside.
Perigo undoubtedly would rather
have them move the ball .around
to open up the defense so that a
man could cut or drive for the
basket and an easy layup.

The have yet to throw a Big Ten
block or make a Big Ten tackle,
but they look' "good, Wally Weber
stated as he evaluated this year's
* freshman football players.
"At end we have\three outstand-
ing prospects; Gary Kane, Joe
Brefeld and John Hallstead. All
three are big, fast and have desire.
It is quite possible that they can
help the varsity next season," he
pointed out.
Good Linemen
"The varsity needs bolstering in
the interior of the line and I be-
lieve some of the freshmen can
help. We have an outstanding
player in Don Deskins, a 240-lb.
ex-Marine tackle. He played at
Quantico where he won all-service
honors. Deskins is extremely fast
for a big man, and he really loves
the game. He plays with great in-
tensity and is almost of varsity
caliber right now. Lee Hall and
Bill Stine could also make an im-
mediate contribution to the var-
sity," Weber contends.
Guard Prospects
"At guard we have several good
prospects; Bob Wojcik, who is one
of the fastest chargers we have
had in years, and Dick Syring, an
all-stater from Bay City, Tom
Jobson and Dave Palomaki.
"At center we have Tom Kerr,
who moves with great mobility and
is a fine diagnostician of plays on
defense; Bill Crain, a fine blocker;
and Darrell Thorpe, a big solid boy
who might be shifted to guard,"
Weber explained.
"At left halfback we have four

'M' Gridders
Several gridders will be repre-
senting Michigan in post-season
intersectional games this year.
Michigan chief candidate for
All-America honors, Jim Pace, will
travel to California over the
Christmas vacation to give his
services to the Shriners in the
annual East-West all-star affair.
Jim Orwig will also play in that
game.
Jim Van Pelt, Larry Paul, and
Jerry Goebel will be part of the
North contingent that engages the
Dixie boys in the North-South con-
test that will be played at Miami,
Fla.
Jim Davies will definitely play
in the Blue-Gray game at Mobile,
Ala., while Bob Boshoven may be
a member of the Blue team.

boys who all have potentiality and
at present are rated almost equal.
They are Hank Stuart, Reid Bush-
ong, Harry Newman, and Gary
McNitt, all top-flight runners.
Fullback or Lineman
"At fullback John Walker is the
outstanding prospect. He is fast
and could play line if he can't beat
out the varsity fullbacks, all of
whom are returning next year,"
Weber said.
"The quarterbacks, Dan Snow,
Jack Ward, Phil Barger and Don
Hannah all show promise. Topping
the list at right halfback is Dale
McDonald, a Canadian speedster.
A fine hockey player, McDonald
was one of the squad's fastest
men. Also deserving mention are
Paul Raeder and John Zanglin,"
Weber concluded.

It Won't Quit
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.(A) --Ru-

thinking of quitting the Big Ten
Conference in the wake of a dismal

terday when the board of trustees
pledged to raise Hoosier gridiron
performance to the level of other
I. U. athletic teams.
In an unprecedented 'public
statement, the trustees voiced con-
fidence in the coaching staff and
urged students and alumni to give
