The Rams failed to score on the next play and the Giants took over the ball.

Los Angeles still won the game, 17-16. TWELFTH MAN STOPS TOWLER Dan Towler, Los Angeles Ram fullback, sits stunned on the ground after plunging headlong into the goal post in the fourth period of game Sunday against the New York Giants in New York's Polo Grounds. Towler drove through a hole in the Giant line from one yard out for an apparent three times in the second quarter. The win gave Alma a 2-4 MIAA record and Olivet dropped its fifth conference game as against a single victory. Western Michigan held a 13-7 half-time lead over Kent State.

The Ohio team scored twice in the third period on a 53 yard run by Bill Whitley and a 59 yard run by Mike Norcia.

Purdue and Wisconsin each was awarded two positions and one each went to Minnesota and Iowa on the honor team picked by AP staff writers in the Big Ten area. Two Sophs Make It Two sophomores, Purdue's sensational passing quarterback, Len Dawson, and Michigan's brilliant end, Ron Kramer, made the grade. Besides the deadly-armed Dawson, the all-conference backfield had Ohio State's Howie (Hop-along) and Minnesota's Bob (Big Mac) McNamara at halfbacks and Wisconsin's Alan (The Horse) Ameche at fullback. Ameche was one of three repeaters from the AP'S 1953 team. The two other holdovers were the guards in a 212-pound average all-star line, Tom Bettis, Purdue senior, and Cal Jones, Iowa Junior.

Paired with Kramer at end was Ohio State's 213-pound senior wingman. Dean Dugger. The other Michigan player honored was 218-pound tackle, Art Valker, a senor, while Ohio State's third all-Big Ten past went to senior tackle, Dick Hilinski, the heaviest man on the team at 231. Fine Backs Get Mention Lightest lineman in the all-star array was Wisconsin's able center, Gary Messner, a 198-pound senior. It was difficult for the selection board to keep three other Ohio State backs off the first team, but the balloting eventually placed Bobby Watkins, halfback, Hubie Bobo, full back, and Dave Leg-gett, quarterback, on the second team.

The other second team halfback was Iowa's Eddie Vincent. Watkins was as hard a runner either Ameche or McNamara. Fine backs who had to settle for honorable mention were Iowa's Earl Smith, Michigan's versatile Lou Baldacci, and Michigan State's John Matsock. 3 Players Fall No fewer than three players fell from-top 1953 recognition, due to injuries and change of team fortunes. Guard Jan Smid of Illinois was demoted to the second team, while halfbacks J.

C. Caroline of Illinois and Leroy Bolden of Michigan State dropped to only honorable mention. Injuries slowed both these stars of the 1953 co-championship teams. The 1954 all-Big Ten backfield has power in Ameche and McNamara, speed and finesse in Cassady, and a tremgendous passer in Dawson. With the possible exception of Dawson, the unit also has great defensive skill.

At least two of the all-star linemen have been compared with immortals of their schools Kramer with Bennie-Oosterbaan at Michigan, and Jones with Duke Slater at Iowa. lead with a 1796 for the nine games.

Hill had the lead ANN ARBOR tf) Ohio State's 21-7 victory over Michigan Saturday pushed the Wolverines out of a tie for the Big Ten title and into another "almost" season Michigan's fourth such season since the Western Conference signed the Rose Bowl agreement. Since 1946, Michigan has represented the Big Ten twice in Rose Bowl competition against the Pacific Coast Conference. Four other times, the Wolverines failed to win a share of the Big Ten title and a possible Rose Bowl trip by one game. Decisions over Illinois in 1946, 1951 and 1952 and over Ohio State Saturday would have turned the trick and given Michigan eight conference titles or title ties.

The loss to the Buckeyes dropped Michigan to a tie with Wisconsin for second place in the conference Michigan's highest finish since its last Rose Bowl trip in 1950. The game, won by Ohio on a fourth quarter surge, was the last for six Wolverines: Danny Cline, left halfback; Fred Baer, fullback; Ted Cachey, captain and John Veselenak, end; Duncan McDonald, quarterback, and Art Walker, tackle. Walker and sophomore end Ron Kramer were named to the Associated Press all Big Ten team. Cline, Baer and Lou Baldacci received honorable mention in the backfield selections. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan had no excuses for the Buckeye loss.

He said Michigan played its best game of the season against OSU, ranked No. 1 nationally.
