The Lions are at their physi After watching Notre Dame quarterback John Huarte slice up Michigan State's football forces a couple of weeks ago, we can see why the Irish back won the 1964 Heisman award for being the outstanding senior player in the nation.

He was great against the Spartans. It was probably his best performance of the year. The way he has helped lead Notre Dame to the No. 1 spot in the nation has been tremendous. He received 216 of the 893 first-place votes.

We were one of the 80 sportswriters around the nation who voted for Michigan quarterback Bob Timberlake for the top honor. There will be some who say we were prejudiced because Timberlake plays for Michigan and in the Big Ten. At least they can't say we were mad because Notre Dame and Huarte beat Michigan State because Michigan and Timberlake also leveled the Spartans. Timberlake is more versatile than Huarte in our book. The Notre Dame back is the better passer but Timberlake Is the stronger runner.

Timberlake finished third behind Illinois' cal low-point of the season and under the circumstances you might assume head coach George Wilson would agree with itie. State, jsporfsl SECTION Cj Nov. 25, 1964 CHICAGO Halfback Dick Gordon and tackle Jerry Rush picked up Michigan State's two places on the Big Ten All-Conference football team as chosen today by the Associated Press. Both were named to the offensive team with Gordon and Bob Timberlake of Michigan the only unanimous selections on the offensive team.

"It's a lections on both the offensive and good idea and a good game for defensive teams while Michigan the Lions, no matter what the Ohio State and Indiana had physical strain.

Although only a junior, this is the second time in as many benefits greatly from the exposure." Wilson added that extra time still wouldn't allow the Lions to count on the services of any badly injured players.

"Those with serious injuries won't be ready by Sunday or a week from Sunday, so playing Timberlake, who quarter- backed Michigan to the conference championship, was one of Football League's Western Conference, despite losing three and tying one of their last five games. The defending confer-ference and world champion Bears are tied for the basement with San Francisco with a 4-7 mark. Detroit beat Chicago, 10-0, in the first meeting in the Windy City and the defensive struggle prompted Detroit linebacker Wayne Walker to admit, "When the Lions and Bears play, pro football is set back 30 years." That might be the case the second time around, too. The 1964 edition of the Thanksgiving Day clash shapes up as another defensive battle where the only scoring might be a field goal and a safety. six unanimous choices on the 22-man squad of one team on offense and the other on defense.

years that Cecchini has been named Midwest lineman of the week. This season Cecchini has made 89 solo tackles and recovered eight fumbles. The Associated Press Lineman of the Week award went to a player who wanted to quit the game four years ago. Jack Shineholser of Florida State changed his mind, however, and was named the AP's top lineman for his play in the Seminoles' 16-7 victory over Florida that earned Florida State a Gator Bowl berth. Shineholser is a 6-1, 209-pound linebacker who got credit for six tackles, six assists and forcing a fumble.

However, Timberlake, because of his ability to do everything, was selected as a halfback. The move enabled Gary Snook. Iowa's passing sensation to grab the quarterback spot on the offensive team with Gordon at halfback and Jim Grabowski, the Big Ten rushing champion from Illinois, at fullback. On defense, All-America Dick three days early shouldn't affect us," he explained. "The extra time might enable some of our minor victims, with bruises and sprains, to fully recover, but they'll play anyway." The Lions will be without the services of flanker Gail Cogdill, middle linebacker Joe Schmidt and quarterback Earl Morrall.

All suffered shoulder, injuries Studstill will replace Cogdill while Dennis Gaubatz has been filling in for Schmidt and Milt Plum has been the full time quarterback. The Bears, too, have injury problems and the outcome of the event might be decided on the abilities of the team physicians. Chicago placed defensive end Ed O'Bradovich and defensive back Larry Glueck on the injured reserve list and activated defensive back Johnny Sisk.

Besides earning the Rose Bowl spot, the Big Ten champion Wolverines also collected additional laurels when Bump Elliott was named United Press International's Coach of the Week, Bob Timberlake was selected Back of the Week by The Associated Press and when linebacker Tom Cecchini was selected Midwest Lineman of the Week by UPI. Elliott was named coach of the week for directing Michigan to a 10-0 victory over Ohio State that clinched the Rose Bowl bid. In fact, things have been rosy for Elliott all season with his Wolverines posting an 8-1 record. What's his secret? Recruiting. "There's no question about it," said Elliott.

"You've got to recruit nowadays. At one time you didn't have to, but the competition from rival schools is so great that if you don't do your share, you don't get the better high school football players." Timberlake quarterbacked the Wolverines to their victory over the Buckeyes. He passed for a touchdown, booted an extra point and kicked a field goal. That production helped Timberlake capture the Big Ten all-game football scoring title. He rolled up 80 points on eight touchdowns, four sive backs George Donnelly of Illinois and Arnie Chonko of Pro Basketball By The Associated Press EASTERN DIVISION Won Lost Pet.

Irish Coach Parseghian Congratulates Huarte Jim Grabowski and State's Dick Gordon in rushing in the Big Ten.

That's pretty good for a quarterback who gets dumped once in a while attempting to pass. Loss of yardage on this pass-type play is subtracted from his rushing total. Timberlake is also a fine place-kicker. His fourth field goal of the season against Ohio State was as good as another touchdown for the Wolverines in the championship game. The three-pointer pushed Michigan ahead, 10-0.

For the year he scored eight touchdowns, kicked 20 straight extra points and had four field goals for 80 points. Huarte has three touchdowns for IS points with one more game to play. We are not complaining about the selection of Huarte. He was our second choice with Illinois' Dick Butkus third. But, as it happens so many times, there are several players in the nation who could rightly receive the award.

It would be strange, though, if Southern Cal should stop Huarte and Notre Dame Saturday at LA and win a berth against Michigan in the Rose Bowl game. Then, if Timberlake and Michigan beat Southern Cal on New Year's Day, our vote for the Heisman award would look a little more solid. If this series of events should happen and it's not impossible Michigan could claim the national championship. Tackle-End Dick Flynn of Mount Pleasant and tackle Jerry Rush of Pontiac received the Ross and Danziger awards at the Detroit Spartan Football Bust Tuesday night. The Ross award goes to the squad member adjudged to have made the finest contribution scholastically and athletically.

Rush, who is from Pontiac, received the Danziger award which goes to the player from the Detroit area who made the most outstanding contribution to the team. There's little doubt Spartan senior Lou Bobich is the best punter in the Big Ten. He has won the honor two straight seasons. This year he averaged an even 42 yards in the six Big Ten games. Lou, the soccer-type booter, finished eighth in the nation with a season average of 41.5 yards.

Dick Gordon ranks 16th in the nation for rushing with 741 yards in 123 carries. Illinois' Jim Grabowski is second with 1.004 yards in 186 rushes. There are no other Big Ten runners in the top 20. Grabowski will be named the top rusher in the Big Ten-he has more yards than Gordon but the Illinois back played one more conference game than Gordon. Dick's average per rush is easily the best in the league.
