1 TiruRSDAY, DECEIMBER 5, 1957 TIRE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1957 TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Cagers Drop o0ning Tilt to BY JIM BAAD Pittsburgh, Hennon Tallies 26 Points; Three 'M' Guards Foul Out 7262 I."- An All-American-Finally THIS WILL merely be a short observation on another year's selec- tions of football All Americans. First of all, I'm extremely happy to see Jim Pace get the honor he most thoroughly deserves. His selection to the Associated Press All-American was a while in com- ing (the AP is one of the last to come out) but it did come. Throughout this past week I have been observing the various other selections flowing in to the sports desk -- the United Press's, the International News Service's, the Hearst, the Sporting News, the American Football Coaches Association's, and even General Mills', and the steady theme of All-American Walt Kowalczyk and not All- American Jim Pace was beginning to sow seeds of doubt as to the accuracy of the system.. A comparison of Pace's Big Ten statistics with Kowalczyk's alone should be enough to discourage the 'voters' away from the latter and towards the former. This is not to tear down Kowalczyk. He is an ex- cellent back, but on paper Pace was better. In rushing, Pace was num- ber one in the Conference with 584 yards gained in 100 attempts. Kowalczyk was fifth with 400 yards on 64 carries. Kowalczyk's aver- age was a bit better, 6.3-5.8, but Pace carried the ball 36 more times and this greater number of risks tends to bring down a runner's average. Pace also led the Big Ten in scoring with 54 points. Kowalczyk was third with 42. Pace's 584 yards were enough to rank him second in total conference yardage even though he never completed a pass. Kowalczyk was not among the leaders. Add this to the statistics. Michigan State had one of the best lines in the nation. Michigan's was small and at times not too effec- tive. Kowalczyk was running behind State's line, Pace behind Michi- gan's. Where Kowalczyk many times could find a nice hole to get started. Pace had to forge his own hole. Both men are obviously great backs, two of the best in the tough Big Ten Conference. The point is, though the statistics were Pace's, the All-American honors were regularly Kowalczyk's until the Asso- ciated Press selections. Why? Before the Season ... LOOKING FOR an explanation one arrives at the pre-season build- ups. These were the collective weights which must have swung the balance of votes to the Spartan and not the Wolverine. Kowalczyk was billed at the season's beginning as a potential All-American. The stories proclaimed his poor junior season, laying it to an injury, and all assured the public that the "Sprinting Blacksmith" was ready to go-again. On the other hand there was very little about Pace. When Michigan was mentioned (and it wasn't a whole lot last September) Pace was considered a solid prospect, but not much about All-Ameri- can status. As it turned out both men had a great year. What followed? Well, everyone knows.1 I've already said it. It's just a good ending that the sportswriters of America, in their AP choice, overlooked what was said before the season and concentrated on what hap- pened during the ,season. ONE ALONE-Halfback Jim Pace was Michigan's only contribution to the Associated Press 1957 All-America Team. No other Wolverine gridder was named by the AP on its three squads. FORMER 'M' ICER RETURNS: Special to The Daily PITTSBURGH - Supposed Michigan strong points became weaknesses last night as Pitts- burgh's basketball team parlayed rebounding strength and a press defense into a 72-62 victory over the Wolverine cagers here in Michigan's season opener last night. Michigan headed into the game with a slight height advantage but a quartet of Panthers dominated both backboards. Pittsburgh's half-court press stymied the visi- tors' fast-break offense. Also contributing to the Wol- verine defeat was a weakness at the foul line. Although outscored by only one field goal, Michigan was able to convert only 18 of 28 free throws while the Panthers were cashing in on 26 of 36. Panthers Take Early Lead Pittsburgh seized an early 13-6 lead and, due to the rebounding work of 6'3" Julius Pegues, 6'4" Charley Hursh, 6'5" John Mills, and 6'6" Dave Sawyer, plus the marksmanship of 5'8" guard Don Hennon, the host team stayed ahead by six to nine points during the first half. . After a long goal by Michigan's George Lee at the halftime buzzer had reduced the Panthers' lead to 37-31, the visitors further whittled the deficit to three points shortly after the second half got under- way. But Pitt retaliated quickly to again establish a nine-point lead, which was not endangered during the rest of the game. Hopes of a Michigan rally late in the game were squelched when guard George Lee 'fouled out with 7:45 remaining in the game, with two other Wolverine guards, Jack Lewis and Billy Wright, following Lee to the bench via the foul route. Poor Shooting Records The visitors also suffered from a lack of marksmanship from the CAGE SCORES Kentucky 61, Ohio State 54 Georgia 72, Clemson 60 Kansas 66, Canisius 46 Cornell 62, Buffalo 37 Dayton 62, Morris Harvey 43 Duquesne 72, Carnegie Tech 58 Rose Poly 54, Illinois College 34 Butler 90, Fort Knox, Ky. 64 St. Joseph's Indiana 58, Wabash 57 Loyola, Chicago 86, Omaha 46 field during the last half. After compiling a respectable 43 per cent shooting average in the first half, Michigan fell off to 28 per cent during the remainder of the game. Pittsburgh maintained a steady 36 per cent average from the field. Hennon, the short Panther guard who connects on off-bal- ance shots with either hand, showed why he is being plugged for All-American honors by net- ting eight field goals and 10 of 11 free throws for a 26-point to- tal, best of the night. Sawyer, Pegues and Mills, besides excelling on rebounding, supported Hennon with 16, 12 and 10 points respec- tively. Wright topped Michigan with six goals and five free tosses for 17 points. Lee and Pete Tillotson finished with 13 apiece. DISTINCTIVE HAIRSTYLING!!

Michigan's locker room is no different. Like a spirit from the past, Al Renfrew, a good natured, cigar chewing idol returned this season to become the new Wol- verine hockey coach, who will make his debut tomorrow. Behind him are six years of coaching experience, which bear the fact that Renfrew is a masterI of hockey fundamentals and tech-I niques. Played for Heyliger To the Michigan hockey fan, Renfrew is no stranger. He played under Vic Heyliger, former coach in the late 1940's. He was a mem- ber of Michigan's first NCAA title winner in 1948, and also a mem- ber of one of the highest scoring lines in Michigan history Renfrew came to Michigan from Toronto, Ont., Canada, where he had established himself as an out- building a team. After two years in the second division of the West- ern Intercollegiate Hockey League his team finished fourth and then moved into the runnerup spot in the League. The Huskies also finished as runner-up to Michigan in the 1955 NCAA finals. In reward for his fine season, he was asked to fill the vacancy at North Dakota. At Grand Forks last season he was immensely popular and guided the Sioux to a successful season with a third place finish in the WIHL. Now the goodlooking, cigar chewing Renfrew, with his friendly smile and warm handshake comes to practice his magic at Michigan. His attributes of being an ex- cellent student and practioner are surpassed only by his tremendous teaching ability. As the Wolverines opening game approaches against McGill this weekend, one can see that his natural talent as a play- er, his knowledge of tactics and his enthusiasm foreshadow a great coaching career at Michigan.

By BOB ROMANOFi Michigan's Redshirts, also known as scrubs, held their Third Annual Football Bust last night at a hall on South University, The 15 players who showed up feasted on pizza, and drinks, which naturally were no stronger than coke and milk. The M. C. at the banquet was White Sox Complete By The Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- The Chicago White Sox pulled off two big trades in less than 24 hours stealing the spotlight at the annual Winter Baseball Meetings. Tuesday night, the Chisox swapped their top left - handedI slugger Larry Doby and southpaw hurler Jack Harshman to Balti- more for pitcher Ray Moore, out- fielder Tito Francona and utility man Billy Goodman. As soon as the dust had settled Chicago's Chuck Comiskey turned around and traded another slug- ger, Minnie Minoso along with utility infielder Fred Hatfieldto Cleveland for pitcher Early Wynn and outfielder-infielder Al Smith. George Armelagos, a Redshirt tackle last year. Armelagos introduced end Fritz Krueger who will be captain of the scrubs next year. After Krue- ger was introduced each player then proceeded to introduce him- self. Pete Kinyon and Jim Orwig handled the speaking chores. Kinyon, former assistant line coach, spoke on the importance of Redshirts in college football. Orwig, this year's captain of the upper echelon of Wolverine foot- ball, spoke on -football at Michi- gan. Naturally no sports' banquet would be complete without the awarding of trophies, so the Red- shirts not wanting to have an in- complete banquet followed suit. Halfback Hugh Crossland was voted the Most Valuable Player and another halfback Jack Zach- ery copped the Sportsmanship trophy. Ron Pulliam, Assistant Equip- ment Manager, was awarded the Willy Heston Award, which is given to a non-player who has given the most help to the Red- shirts. Knowing how important first aid can be to a football team de- siring to stay out of Health Serv- ice, Ron Addison, Assistant Train- er, received the Doc Coxen Award for trainers. The final award went to Don Dufek who was voted Redshirt Coach of the Year. His team had a 3-0 record against the mean old varsity. One of his three victories was in last year's final spring scrim- mage which the varsity somehow managed to win in five quarters 31-25. However, at the end of the regulation four quarters the Red- shirts were on the long end of a 25-12 score. AL RENFREW ... returns to coach standing high school player. Fol- lowing his graduation from the School of Education in 1949, he spent the next two years in Ann Arbor as a salesman for a local concern. Then the call from Michigan Tech came, and Renfrew accepted the position of coach in 1951, re- maining there until the conclusion of the 1955 season. While coaching the Huskies, Renfrew showed his talent for Sport Shorts 11 1 Wolverine Gym Squad To Host Prep Teams Brown Retains Championship CHICAGO UP) - Champion Joe' Brown twice floored challenger JoeyLopes with brutal right hand shots to the jaw and retained his lightweight championship, with a technical knockout in 1:50 of the eleventh round at Chicago Sta- dium last night. Brown started the successful third defense of his title by drop- ping Lopes for a four count in the seventh round, also with a right. wand shot to the jaw. It was a close fight up to the point of Brown's eleventh round explosion. Link Warmath to Arkansas MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Reports linking Minnesota's Murray War- math with the Arkansas coaching vacancy increased in tempo yes- terday. Word circulated that the drawl- ing Tennessean was high ;on the list of candidates to succeed Jack Mitchell, who resigned last week to take the head coaching job at Kansas. Warmath stood pat in his re- fusal to comment. Back to Brooklyn? LOS ANGELES (IP)-- Petitions for a'referendum on the real estate deal between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the city of Los Angeles were officially approved yesterday. City Clerk Walter Peterson said the necessary 51,767 valid signa- tures were tallied with several thousand still to be checked. Although their schedule doesn't officially open until January, Coach-Newt Loken is doing a good job of keeping Michigan's gym- nasts busily at work. Tomorrow the squad will hostE an open house at Ann Arbor High School. The Wolverine gym team'sf task as hosts will be to offer ad-Z vice to visiting high school gym-N nasts as well as to exhibit the form which has put Michigan upi with the top squads in the coun- try. Two days later, on Saturday,' the team will go to the "Windyt City" to participate in the Mid-i west Open which will be held atr the University of Chicago. Michigan's gym squad will enter unattached as will most of the Big Ten teams because each school is only allowed to participate in a certain number of meets. This season won't be any easier for the runner-ups in the Big Ten. Michigan's biggest test will come when it faces independent Penn State the week before it engages in the Conference Meet. Loken said that he arranged this meet with the NCAA Champs at that time in order to bring his team up to its best form before its big meet which will probably once again turn into a vicious battle with Illinois for the title. p m P1M N Give him comfort Evans f HAND TURNED See our complete line of Evans Slipper/ styles for Christmas today!
