'17. 1957 THE TMICHIGAN fDAILY Bruce Bennett Varsity Cage Team Triumphs PAGE I Final 'M' Statistics 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. TEAM STATISTICS Mich.

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. PASSING Had Scoring % Att. Cmp. Int. Yds.

Jordan, Tidi By RUDE DIFAZIO 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. MICHIGAN Burton, f .... Tarrier, f ....

By HAL APPLEBAUM VU 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 Bowls Call '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. NBA SCORE Detroit 109, Minneapolis 91 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. Michigan 55, Freshmen 22 Indiana Says It Won't Quit BLOOMINGTON, Ind.(A) --Ru- mors that Indiana University was thinking of quitting the Big Ten Conference in the wake of a dismal football season were exploded yes- 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 a helping shove to the creaking Indiana football machine. lI LtP the tobacco... e tip...
