European Sports Tough
For American Athletes

NEW YORK-OP)-Let's see,
now. We'll give them the soccer.
That's not our game. If we could
r:eplace it in the Olympics with
American football we might have
a chance.
That would be asking too much,
though, as we already have bas-
ketball in there, and if every
country insisted on the inclusion
of some game they invented or in
which they were particularly pro-
ficient the competition would take
the form of exhibitions and they
might as well bring on the two-
headed calf and stuffed whale.
There are sports now included
in the Olympic program, other
than soccer, in which Ameri-
cans have not taken any gold

medals. Chiefly because' we
don't go in very strong for the
events.
Cycling, for one. And fencing,
and field hockey, and the penta-
thlon, and Graeco-Roman wrest-
ling. Our failure at cycling is easy
to understand, as we are just vic-
tims of prosperity. Americans ride
in automobiles as soon as they are
old enough to convince their dads
they have been exposed to com-
mon sense, and caught at least a
mild case.
We've been blanked down through
the years in the 5000-meter and
10,000-meter runs, the 3,000-meter
steeplechase, the 50,000 and 10,000
meter walks and the javelin
throw.

Three More
In Olympic
Tournament
HELSINKI- (A)--Three more
teams qualified for the Olympic
Basketball Tournament yesterday
-all of them getting in by the
back door.
Cuba, Hungary and Egypt sur-
vived a pre-Olympic qualifying
tourney to join Bulgaria, Canada,
and the Philippines along with ten
other countries previously selected
for the 16-team competition.
Egypt edged Italy in the best
game produced by the qualifica-
tion trials.
Cuba defeated Belgium 71-63,
and Hungary staggered past
Greece, 47-44.
The other competing countries
who qualified on past perform-
ances in international competition
were the United States, Russia,
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico,
France, Finland, Czechoslovakia
and Uruguay.

GRID PREVIEW OF '52:
'M' Football Future Uncertain

(This is the first in a series of ar-
ticles dealing with the coming 1952
football season.)
By IVAN KAYE
The Michigan football picture
for 1952 is clouded with uncer-
tainty.
Where the Wolverines will wind
up in the rugged Western Confer-
ence is anybody's guess. Experts
at this early point are not boom-
ing 'Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's
boys for Conference honors, but
any football prognosticator worth
his sodium chloride knows that
Michigan teams can never be
counted out of a championship
race.
* * *
WITNESS THE rags-to-riches
tale of the 1950 squad which
clinched an undisputed title and
a Rose Bowl bid by beating Ohio
State in a snow storm at Colum-
bus, while Northwestern was de-
railing the front-running Illini at
Evanston. Michigan jumped from
third place to the championship
in one afternoon.
The Illinois squad could feel
that California sunshine the
previous week when they knock-
ed Ohio State from the top of
ajor League

_

the heap. Someone forgot to in-
form Northwestern that they
couldn't win however, and the
lads from Evanston rose to
thwart the Illinois title ambi-
tions. While all this was trans-
piriAg, the underdog Wolverines
were running an Ohio squad
which at mid-season was con-
sidered the best in the land.
The preceeding could only occur
in the wild Western Conference,
and shows the futility of trying to
pick the winner before the gun
ends the season's last game.
MICHIGAN will face one of the
toughest schedules in the nation
this fall. The Wolverines open
with Michigan State, a team rated
by many as the best in the coun-
try last season. Next comes a trip
to Palo Alto, California for an in-
tersectional tussle with the de-
fending Pacific Coast Conference
champion, Stanford University.
Indiana will appear here in the
season's first conference game.
The following week will see
the Maize and Blue oppose
Northwestern in the lair of the
Wildcats at Evanston. Four con-
secutive home appearances with
Minnesota, Illinois, Cornell and
Purdue will precede the season
finale against the Ohio State
Buckeyes in Columbus.
Michigan State and Stanford
are top-drawer competition, and
there are many easier ways to op-
en a football campaign than
games with these schools. Both
Indiana and Northwestern are
building and could cause trouble
as the Wildcats did last year when
they upset Michigan, 6-0.
* * *
MINNESOTA WILL be driven
to frenzy pitch to regain posses-
sion of the famed "Little Brown
Jug" which has eluded them since
1942. The Illini are the defending

conference champions and are de-
finitely the team to beat in the
coming race. The Cornell game
will give the Wolverines a chance
at revenge.
The Big Red humbled -Michi-
gan at Ithaca last November,
20-7. Purdue is being tagged,
along with Wisconsin as a prime
contender for the title. The
Boilermakers have done a great
deal of quiet building and are
now ready to make it pay off.
The curtain closer at Columbus
will be another very tough
game. Ohio is loaded, even with-
out Vic Janowicz.
The toughest part of this sche-
dule is the beginning. The first
two games, even though they are
both with non-conference oppo-
nents could very well tell the
story of the whole 1952 season.
** *
CONTRARY TO last season,
freshmen will not be permitted to
compete in Big Ten football. This
means that the conference coach-
es will have to work with just
their present teams with no hope
of uncovering promising freshman
talent and moving it up to varsity
squads, as was done last season.
Wisconsin, for instance, used
a freshman fullback named Al-
lan Ameche who shattered the
Big Ten rushing record in his
first year. He is being touted
for possible All-American hon-
ors as a sophomore this fall.
Although the experts would
consider it an upset, it is entirely
within the realm of possibility
that Michigan will be conference
champion this year. The Wolver-
ines will have a big line once
again, a more varied offense than
last year, and greater depth in
backfield talent. Add a little luck
to these ingredients and there may
be the recipe for a champion.
