locker room comment was simply
Lets play 80 more minutes for
Bennie." Michigan won. 9-3.
That same attitude played its
part in the locker room at
Pasadena, Calf. when Michigan
trailed California 60. Michigan
went on to win the Rose Bowl
encounter 14-6.
Perhaps the players abiding
affection for Bennie stems from
the very human qualities of this
two-time all-American Michigan
end. Despite a calm exterior.
Oosterbaan goes through agonies
before a game.

admit. Nonetheless, he has trouble
sleeping during the regular sea-
son. His digestion goes haywire
But he loves the game. A rest
will make him fit as a fiddle and
he'll be ready to 60 again.
Many felt that Fritz Crisler
handed the reins to Bennie in
1948 with the thought that Michi-
gan had achieved a peak with its
1947 Rose bowl champions and
could only go down.

that will move it into first-place
tie with West Virginia in the
Southern Conference.
The Wolfpack now shares Sec

by knocking off North Carolina,
67-59, last night at Chapel Hill.
1t was the third straight confer
ence victory for the Terrapins and
the first conference setback for
the Tar Heels, although this in
juiy-riddled team now has
dropped six in a row.
In tonight's game at Raleigh,
the Wolfpack will be heavily fav-
ored to beat the Colonials. North
Carolina State already has defeat
ed CIV once. by an 86-71 verdict
here last month. and a triumph
tonight would give it a season to-
tai Ct IL wins in 13 outings. West
Virginia is on top in the confer

that will be matched by State If
it triumphs tonight.
Maryland's Lee Brawley spanked

13 free throws and six field goals.
He racked up 10 free tries in the

Stung by Criticisms.
The 36-year- old Louis was stung
by criticisms of his last two fights
against Heavyweight King Ezzard
Charles and Cesar Brion Of
Argentina.
Intimates reported he promised
then to flatten Beshore in hurry
to prove he still can punch with
the best heavyweights in the
business.
Louis took careful note of the
fact that it took Charles until the
14th round to stop Beshore on q
TKO when Beshore was badly cut.
Louis figures that he can put
Beshore away quicker than that,
thus bolste-ing his possible bid
for another crack at Charles and
the title" said a representative Of
the International Boxing Club,
which is putting on the fight.
The bout will be the second
of four in Louis current come
back campaign. The first was
against Brion on November % and
Louis failed to impress very much
in getting that decision.
"My Kind of Fighter"
Louis himself said of Beshore.
"He is my kind of fighter. the
kind of fellow who keeps boring
in on you. He doesn't run away
and he doesn't back away"
The 25-year-old Beshore-who
will spot Louis a 23-pound edge
was calmly confident that his
body attack would wear Louis
down and get him a decision.
In an unusually frank outline
/ of fight plans,s Beshore declared.
I'm going to stay on top OF
him all the time and figure Louis
will tire"
Beshore. not particularly noted
as knockout puncher, added. Il
think I've figured out the way
to beat Louis"
