Daley, a junior, leads the Big Nine in ground gaining, and Harder tops the league in scoring with 52 points. Hillenbrand was picked as the niftiest runner in the league. selected as the outstanding line- man.

The seven linemen forged in front from the earliest ballots but votes for backs were spread over a wide territory. Presence in the conference of a great group of sophomores, considered even better than the Tom Harmon, George Franck, Don Scott, George Pask-van crop in 1938, further complicated the voti ig. A surprising absentee was Capt. Bruce Smith of Minnesota, who tirew this department's vote as the back of the year despite injuries. Smith broke up the Michigan and Iowa games in which Minnesota was doing none too well.

Smith, however, topped the second list: Ends Bob Motl, Northwestern, and Bob Swan, Ohio State; tackles Jim Daniel, Ohio State, and Al Wistert, Michigan; guards George Zorich, Northwestern, and Mervin Pregulman, Michigan; center Iron Man Bob Johnson of Purdue; backs Bill Garnaas, Minnesota; Smith, Tom Kuzma, Michigan, and Jack Graf, Ohio State. Three who fell just short in the backfield were Northwestern's sophomore star, Otto Graham; Tommy Farris, senior quarterback at Wisconsin, and Dick Fisher of Ends Dave Schreiner.

Tenter Bob Ingalls, Michigan. Backs Billy Hillenbrand, Indiana; Marlin (Pat) Harder, Wisconsin; Bill Daley, Minnesota, and Bob West fall, Michigan. Hillenbrand, Indiana's shifty sophomore, was named the back of the year and Minnesota's junior powerhouse Dick Wildung was Ohio State. Of the first two teams, Hillenbrand, Harder, Pregulman, Johnson. Garnaas and Kuzma are sophomores.

Several voters who picked Hillenbrand, Harder, Daley and West-fall suggested an alternate back-field fully equipped with the standard signal-calling, punting, blocking and passing ability, This included a a Hillenbrand, Daley and Harder at quarter, left half, right half and fullback, respectively. Each man has played those positions but such a back-field leaves off a star who un-doubtbdly deserves recognition By STEVE SNIDER CHICAGO, Nov. 22 (UP) The United Press presents today a new type football honor roll the 11 best Biff Nine players observed personally by experts representing every section blanketed by the Western conference. As a competitive team it might not be much. It has two left tackles, no quarterback and three fullbacks, but these seven linemen and four backs were hailed by some 40 newspapermen, coaches and scouts as the finest performers they had seen in action this year: Wildung and Bauman, the tackles, were the unanimous choice of all who saw them play.

Good guards were scarce and Levy and Melton easily topped the list. Wolverines of Michigan rated a 10-7 favorite over the keyed-up Buckeyes of Ohio State today as the two rivals battled on the gridiron for the 38th time before a sellout house of 85,000. On cold statistics and logic, Coach Fritz Crisler's stalwarts were an almost unanimous choice to make it four straight over Ohio, but there was plenty of hunch and partisan sentiment on the part of 13,000 invading Ohio fans for an upset. Ingalls won the center nomination in a close race with Johnson who has played every minute of Pur due seven games. They remember the stubborn Manager Says A I Hostak Will Retire From Ring 3r.

iu'fll Waxes Sunuislir A biting cold wind swept the stadium for the game with temperatures down around the 32-degree freezing level, coldest of the season for Ohio folks. The gridiron itself was in good shape having been covered by a canvas all week. In addition to the traditional prestige attached to any Ohio-Michigan victory, the winner will land a high place in the final Big Ten standings, either undisputed possession of second place or tie in the unlikely event Wisconsin should topple unbeaten Minnesota. Probably lineups: CHAMP CHALLENGES STUFFED BUSTLES stand the less favored Bucks threw up against the better balanced Northwestern team before going down to their only loss of the season. The feeling also prevailed that Coach Paul Brown's men may not yet have played their best game in a somewhat erratic season.

Bucks Need Best In face of Michigan's fine record, blemished only by a 7-to-0 defeat from Minnesota, nothing but the best will return the Buckeyes a victor today. Michigan boasts a hard-charging line clearing the path for" speedy backs. They have those fast backs in Capt. Bob Westfall, senior, and Tommy Kuzma, sophomore successor to Tom Harmon.

(UP) Mysterious Al Hostak of Seattle, former middleweight champion, was battered into premature retirement by the lop-sided licking he took last night from veteran Ken Overlin before 7,926 jeering fans at Madison Square Garden. Hostak's manager, Eddie Marino, announced early today, "Al is quitting the ring for good.

He's washed up. He'll never fight again with me as his manager." Well, anyhow, the distaff divi golfdom's rulers, I'm sorry.

Of course, I suppose, if my heart were truly amateur, we'd be willing to live in a $20 a month furnished room, eat margarine on our bread and amuse ourselves evenings by playing tiddly-winks so I could play golf, but we don't happen to have that attitude, unfortunately. "But there's this about it. At least I have a clear conscience on being out in the open about accepting money for my golf.

So one of the best reasons I know for turning pro is to save amateur expenses, although I won't deny the fact that you can't measure the worth of this very grand game in dollars and cents (plus tax). But that doesn't make it cost any less.

After he had won but a single round of last night's ultra-dull engagement. "Can't be Printed" Promoter Mike Jacobs was so burned by Hostak's showing that he said his comment was: "Words that can't be printed." Although Veteran Overlin had gone into the ring a 9-5 favorite to win, promoter Jacobs and a large slice of the smart-money boys from Chicago had been hoping for a quick Hostak victory. Because Hostak is only 25, and Overlin is 31, Jacobs had been dreaming of an elimination final between i Hostak and Billy Soose, who recently gave up the middleweight crown, to determine which should get a shot at Gus Lesne-vich's light heavy diadem.

Then the USGA would Candidates For National Title Favored By Cnlted Frew) Minnesota, Notre Dame and Duke, leading candidates for the mythical national football title, were strongly favored today in games featuring the last full-scale card of the season. Minnesota faces Wisconsin, its last hurdle to a second straight Big Ten championship. Duke meets North Carolina State with the Southern Conference title and a bowl invitation sure to follow a victory. Notre Dame renews its rivalry with Southern California. Another game expected to produce a bowl candidate is the tilt between Vanderbilt and Alabama, each beaten once, but boasting perhaps the strongest teams in the south.

Missouri seeks the Big Six championship and perhaps draw a bowl assignment in its game with Kansas.

OHIO CONFERENCE There has been quite a bit of comment heard about the unusual sophomore material uncovered in the Western conference this season which brings to lifiht the fact that Paul Brown and his coaching associates came up with their share of good first year varsity men. It might be noted that both Brown's starting ends today are sophomores Bob Shaw, of Fremont, and Leon Schoenbaum, who hails from Huntington, W. Va.

Not only has Shaw developed into one of the better flankers of the conference, but in addition he is a 60-minute ball player. Schoenbaum became the Bucks' first string left end after Charlie Anderson left the squad. In Lindell Houston, Massillon, and George Cheroke, Shadyside, Brown has two excellent sophomore guards. Houston won a starting berth in the Ohio line and was going great guns until injured in the Pittsburgh game. When Houston was forced out, Cheroke stepped in and did so well in the Wisconsin and Illinois contests that Houston may not get the starting call at right guard in the finale with Michigan.

Harold Dean, Wooster, is another newcomer among the guards, who is expected to blossom into a fine performer. The best of he new tackle talent is Charles Csuri, Cleveland, who is Captain Jack Stephenson's replacement. He is rated a better tackle than the Scarlet and Gray leader. Jack Rosen, center, from Isabella, has been another find. Because it has been necessary for Brown to stick with his four senior backs In this latter game, 62-year-old Bob Zuppke ends his 29 years of service against the first Big Ten school he played after reaching Illinois as head coach in 1913.

Why the veteran Ted Lyons is still quite a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox can be found in the excellence of his control.
