MONDAY, OCIOBhRZO, 1952 THE IUDINGTON DAILY NEWS, LUDINGTON, MICHIGAN PAGE FIVE Ludington Battles Traverse City in Key N-C Game Oriole Speed, Trojan Power to Be Tested By DICK DERRICK (Daily News Sports Editor) Traverse City and Mt. Pleasant lay their North Central Michigan conference football title hopes on the line Friday in what looks like their tougest league assignments to date when the Trojans invade Ludington and the Oilers host Big Rapids. There will be plenty at stake when Manistee barges into the Cadillac Viking lair Friday as the North Central conference heads into a three-weeks-long home stretch. Ambitious Ludington, cellarites last season, want to use' Traverse City as a springboard to the conference crown. The Trojans, who bow out of the league after this school year, need the victory to keep their first place spot unstained.

Fierce Battles Ludington-Traverse City football battles down through the years have been marked by a fierceness that has resulted in most of the decisions determined by a touchdown or less, i Traverse City holds a 16-11 edge in victories in games since the series was started in 1922 and the Trojans hold a three-game streak including last year's 12-0 triumph. Trojan Coach Ed Graybiel has never lost to a Ludington he was at Grand Haven or since he tooK over the Traverse City reins. It will be homecoming for Ludington and the team will be returning from three weeks on the road in which they won two of three games. Both teams have identical 3-2 records but they have not played any common foes on which to compare scores. In all of their action this season the Orioles have displayed a determined defense mixed with a versatile ground-air attack.

But Traverse City has gained first place in the league with a power that extends from end to end in their'line plus a covey of ball carriers who can run, pass and punt. Line Shone In fact it has been the Trojan line that shone brightest in the upset of Petoskey, the smashing of Cadillac and the holding of Alpena. Trojan linemen have scored three touchdowns so far this season and blocked three punts at critical parts of ball games. Their fast- charging tackles have been Traverse City's best pass defense. Coach Ed Graybiel's center of the line has boys like Center John Mollema at 145 and Jim Hartley, 250-pound tackle.

They give the Trojans weight and surprising speed. Hockey Bisel, Ron Knoll, Dugald Monro and Dave Allen have carried the brunt of the Trojan attack all season and with Bill Gregory, injured in the Manistee game due back the Trojan line should be in top strength. Ludington's challenge will be hurled from the ground and air by some versatile backs who have carried a football around all sum mer. Lee Schoenherr who completed seven out of 10 passes last week including a pair for touchdowns and two others that set up touchdowns, can also run together with Jim Anderson, Dick Newberg, Dick Kowatch or Terry Ferris who can also pass. Fastest in League The Ludington backs are they average 152 they have stopped bigger backs before oil defense and admittedly are the fastest on the ground in the conference.

The question to be answered Friday is whether or not Ludington's speed will be able to overcome Traverse City's power. Mt. Pleasant and Big Rapids, two former members of the old Central Michigan conference and who have been clashing he'ad-on since 1919, should put on another terrific battle. The Cards too are ambitious, need a win over Mt. Pleasant to vault them into the first division while the Oilers, their express slowed by a tie by Cadillac, still arc undefeated in conference play and a serious title contender.

Mt. Pleasant holds a 19-10 edge in vctories in the scries and a 2-1-1 record this season. Last year Mt. Pleasant won 13-0. Big Rapids has won four of five.

ln'the only clash with a common foe, Mt. Pleasant beat Ludington 7-2 who in turn won 13-7 over Big Rapids but the Orioles were at full strength against the Cards while they were shy a front-line quarterback at Mt. Pleasant. Mutt-Jeff Combinations The Oiler-Card battle should erupt in a running-aerial game featured by Mt. Pleasant's little Tom Pishes and giant Carl Robert and Big Rapids' little Allen Browu and giant Gordon Rindquist.

The closest Manistee has come to slopping Cadillac in Ihe last five years has been two scoreless ties, one. in 1947 and the other last year. That lie plus comparative scores provide a tip "off on how close the game Friday night may be. Cadillac bowed to Traverse City 20-0 and Manistee lost to the Trojans 19-0. Cadillac holds a 17-5 edge in victories in games since 1929.

Both teams have about the same records this season.

Munn had 15 offensive backs on the field at one time or another and a half dozen of them figured in the scoring. "I like to sec the youngsters in." Munn said.

"They are the fellows who will be carrying the load for us a couple of years from now." Munn had particular praise for his defensive unit. "The defense played us the best game so far this year," he said. "And our defensive outfit accounted for nine points before the offense even started scoring." On the opening play of the Syracuse's Bob Leberman was mobbed by Michigan State tacklers in his own end zone to give the Spartans two points on a safety. Jim Ellis, the Saginaw safety man, took a punt and streaked 59 yards down the sidelines for the other defensive score. Scoring honors were about equally divided between the first and second string units when the offensive unit started rolling.

Don McAuliffe gained all the important yardage in a 65-yard drive that took only five plays. took eight plays to cover 75 yards for one score by the pony backs and the ponies trotted 76 yards in five plays for their second counter. Leroy Bolden and Billy Wells took turns doing most of the carrying. Bert Zagers of the third string "pepper backs" made the final touchdown to put his unit in the scoring competition. Lions Owe Win to Cloyce Box DETROIT know, that second touchdown catch looked tough.

Actually it was easy to dive forward and get that one. The first long toss over my head was the tough one to catch." Detroit Lion end Cloyce Box was talking about his two remarkable, touchdown catches in yesterday's 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. And while he talked his lanky pass catching fingers knotted a blue tie. In all corners of the dressing room were smiling Lion players, pleased to regain some slim title hopes. Box's first touchdown catch came at 13:05 minutes of the second period after the defending champion Rams had taken a 13-0 lead.

The crowd of 40,152 had been booing the Lions. The boos stilled after quarterback Bobby Layne drifted back to his 28-yard line and loosed a long pass to Box. Cloyce streaked straight down the field beyond two defenders, took the over-the-shoulder pass on his finger tips, bobbled it, then pulled it in and raced to the end zone. The play covered 64 yards from the line of scrimmage. Most important, it was the Lions first touchdown in 126 minutes of play covering three ball games.

And it suddenly sparked the Lions to greater efforts. "If there was any turning point, that was probably it," said Coach Buddy Parker, whose club now has a 2-2 record and is in a second place tie with Green Bay and the Chicago Bears in the western division. The unbeaten San Francisco 49ers lead. Box' second touchdown catch came in the third period with Los Angeles ahead 16-14. The Lions had reached the Rams' 10 on Jack Christiansen's 45 yard punt return and Layne's 22-yard pass to Leon Hart.

On the scoring play Box slipped into the end zone "while Layne handed off to fullback Bob Hoernschemeyer on a reverse. Bob threw Leon Hart. On the scoring play Box slipped into the end zone while Layne handed off to fullback Bob Hoernschemeyer on a reverse. Bob threw a low pass to Cloyce who dived from between two defenders and grabbed the ball as he fell to the ground.

Three clubs the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Cardinals a New York tied for the American section lead with 3-1 records. And right behind are the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins with 2- 2 slates. Only the winlcss Pittsburgh Steel- ers are hopelessly out of contention.

San Francisco embellished i stature with a resounding 40-16 success over the Bears while the Lions remained in contention by vanquishing Los Angeles, 24-16.

MAYHEW ANN ARBOR itfl Michigan's football stock was climbing today in the wake of (he Wolverines' ox- plosive 48-14 victory over Northwestern. The frenzied outburst left Coach Bcnnic Oostcrbaan's players poised atop the Western conference standings in a triple tie with Purdue and Minnesota. Each has two league victories. But the Wolverine victory was so complete that they can no longer avoid a role of solid favoritism against Minnesota Saturday. Under questioning.

Oosterbaan admitted his squad was "improved," and that "it was their best game." But to draw any inference that Michigan could make a standout bid for (he Big Ten title now in the minds of fan and player, is insupportable in Oostcr- baan's kind of reckoning. But Oosterbaan notwithstanding, Michigan fans arc likely to take encouragement from the miraculous mixture of brilliance and fumblc-itis displayed by Michigan's new star halfback Ted Kress Bobbling the ball six times, Kress managed to set a new Big Ten rushing mark of 218 yards on his 20 attempts, six feet belter than Wolverine Bill Dailey's 1943 performance against Northwestern. He also scored three touchdowns: Other touchdowns were by Capt. Merrill Green on a blocked punt, halfback Tom Witherspoon on a one yard smash, halfback Dan Cline's pass lo quarterback Ted Topor that scored on a 27 yard play, and Dick Balzhiser who indicated strongly in his firsl college ball game that he may provided the. long sought up the middle power for the Wolverines.

Russ Rescorla failed to convert only one of the seven touchdowns. unhappy about the Wolverine defense that, held Northwestern inside the Michigan 24 until late in the final period when the Wildcats scored twice on desperation passes by quarterback Dick Thomas.
