(AP) — Well conceived defensive play, carried out with fighting fury, and frequent fumbles by the offense were the most notable developments of the 1952 college football season. They're two things that Team Works Out MADISON, Wis., Dec. 10. (AP) — Wisconsin's football team today hustled through the second of five workouts scheduled before the squad leaves Madison Dec 17 for Pasadena, site of the Jan. 1 Rose bowl clash with Southern California. Team spirit remained high and so did the odor of the livestock which usually occupy the building now being used for indoor grid practice. The doors were left open today to air out the premises and to lower the temperature. Yesterday the mercury reached 77 in the livestock pavilion. Charles Berndt, first string offensive tackle, relinquished his shoulder while blocking a dummy. The injury is not believed serious and is expected to work out in a day or two. The rest of the Badgers are in top condition. Coaches Association Announces 1952 All-America Track and Field Team LAWRENCE, Kas., Dec. 10 (AP) — The 1952 collegiate All-America track and field team was announced today by M. E. Bill Easton, secretary-treasurer of the National Collegiate Track Coaches association. The NCAA selections committee for the all stars was headed by Brutus Hamilton, University of California, a coach of the 1952 U.S. Olympic squad; Elliott B. Nozes, of Dartmouth, and Easton, Kansas track coach. The All America squad: 100-meter dash: James Golliday, Northwestern; F. Dean Smith FUHS to Host Tennis Players January 2 and 3 High school tennis players throughout Southern California Usually go together in football. The nation's sports writer and broadcasters, replying to the Associated Press post - season questionnaire, singled out the improvement in defensive play and the recognition of its importance as the most significant trend of the season. The frequent cases of "fumblitis" came second in the list of trends. In many replies these two items were bracketed together as the observers pointed out that the strenuous efforts of the defense players, plus high tackling in the effort to shake the runner loose from the ball, were among the principal causes of fumbling. Another contributing factor noted was a swing to the splitformation, in which the quarter back carries the ball loosely, read to flip it to another runner. An this, too, was listed as one of the season's more important trends. No fewer than a dozen writers in various sections particularly noted a swing toward the split-T. Others observed that the straight T was declining in popularity; that teams were using more varied offenses with several standard formations or that the single wing was gaining in popularity. The spread formation, one of last year's popular developments came in for more attention, but opinion was divided, apparently along sectional lines. A half dozen noted that the spread was losing favor, that defenses were catching up with it, etc. An equal number listed the increased use of spreads as an outstanding trend. Similarly, as many noted a swing away from "platoon" football and toward all round players as saw increased use of platoons and specialists. Out of 125 replies to this section of the AP questionnaire, 22 mentioned defenses in one way or another. Many pointed out that the leading teams in the nation...

(AP) — Michigan State today had the football coach of the year in Clarence Biggie Munn as well as the nation's No. 1 college football team. The 44-year-old Spartan mentor, whose team has won its last 24 games, was picked for the honor by members of the American Football Coaches association in the 18th annual poll conducted by the Scripps-Howard Newspapers. Munn was named first on the bailot of 139 of the coaches to win by 40 votes over Bobby Dodd, coach of Georgia Tech's second ranking 11.

Gazette SPORT Two Top PCC Cage Teams, Bruins and Huskies, Meet in Westwood on Friday LOS ANGELES — One of the country's top-ranking basketball teams — Washington's Huskies— invades the UCLA men's gymnasium this weekend (Dec: 12-13) to battle John Wooden's fast-breaking Bruins in a replay of the Pacific Coast Conference championship series of the last two years. The hot series opens UCLA's home schedule. The tipoffs are at 8:30 p.m. each night, preceded by preliminaries at 6:30 with Doug Sale's Bruin freshmen meeting Pasadena City College Friday and Mt. San Antonio College Saturday. Both Tippy Dye's Huskies and the Bruins won their openers last week in convincing fashion. Washington walloped Utah twice, 82-54 and 77-56. UCLA knocked over Oregon State, 73-63 and 58-43, at Corvallis. The Huskies really made a big impression on Vadal Peterson, veteran Utah coach, "Washington is the best basketball club I've ever seen in an opening series," Peterson said. With All-American candidate Bob Houbregs in their lineup, the Huskies deserve to be favored this weekend. However, the Bruins upset Washington in the PCC playoffs at Westwood last March and will be battling to turn the trick again. Houbregs, the six-foot-seven center with the fabulous hook-shot, showed he is again hitting the basket with amazing regularity by scoring 28 and 19 points in the two Utah games. Wooden plans to assign his own six-foot-seven cager, Mike Hibler, to the job of trying to stop Mr. Hooks. Hibler did a fine job on Houbregs in the PCC playoffs last year, holding him to only 14 points in the third and deciding game. Rounding out the powerful, experienced Husky starting five are Doug McClary (6-8) and captain Mike McCutcheon (6-1) at forwards along with Joe Cipriano (5-11) and Charlie Koon (5-11) at guards. Both McCutcheon and Cipriano gave the Bruins fits last season with their shooting and floor games. The Bruins will counter with their own all-veteran quintet of Dick Ridgway (6-4) and Don Bane (6-2) at forwards, John Moore (6-5) at center and Ron Livingston (5-10) and Don Bragg (6-4) at guards. Ridgway made an auspicious return to the Bruin lineup last week following a year on the side-lines because of academic troubles. This 1991 All-Coast cager paced the team in scoring with a 28-point weekend, 71 the first night and 11 the second, and also did a creditable job on defense. Only four points separate the next five Bruin scorers, with Moore (9-10) and Hibler (9-10) tied with a two-game total of 19, followed by Livingstone (14-4) with 18, forward Ron Bane (10-7) with 17 and Bragg (9-6) with 15. Wooden thought his Bruins played typical opening games against Oregon State, with Friday's performance being the best of the two. Moore played a terrific game, both shooting and on the boards, in the first half of Saturday.

(AP) Frankie Albert, star quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and pre-war Stanford Indians will retire from football Sunday; the 49ers announced today. Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers in Kezar stadium will be Albert's last for the San Francisco team, the club said. Albert announced he would retire to work fulltime as a business executive. He is employed by an auto agency in Burlingame, Calif. In seven season's with the 49ers, Albert completed 815 of 1,538 passes for a total gain of 10,2582 yards. That's just short of six miles. "He ran the club on the field, and he was the greatest field general we ever had," a spokesman for the 49ers said. Albert went to work for the Stanford Indians as a sophomore in 1939. The next year he sparked the team's new T-formation through an unbeaten season and led it to victory over Nebraska in the Rose bowl. His retirement will leave Bruno Eanducci, guard, the only player who has been with the 49ers. Only four points separate the next five Bruin scorers, with Moore (9-10) and Hilber (9-10) tied with a two-game total of 19, followed by Livingstone (14-4) with 18, forward Ron Bane (10-7) with 17 and Bragg (9-6), with 15. Wooden thought his Bruins played typical opening games against Oregon State, with Friday's performance being the best of the two. Moore played a terrific game, both shooting and on the boards, in the first half of Saturday's contest to keep the Bruins in the ball game. Ridgway and Hilber found the range in the second half to help UCLA pull away from the Beavers. Going into this weekend's games, Washington holds an all-time record of six wins out of eight basketball starts against UCLA. The Bruin victories came last year in the PCC playoff series. SAN BRUNO, Dec. 10. (AP) Square Off charged into the lead on the last turn and won the feature race at Tanforan today by five lengths. NEW YORK, Dec. 10.

When the front office rips hit the headlines a week was reported that different tween Ryan and Greenberg reached a point where one other would have to go.

CONE BROTH 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim PCC Relaxes Control of Athletic Recruiting at Winter Conference PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 10, (AP)—The Pacific coast conference relaxed its strict control of athlete recruiting today and voted to permit alumni to bring prospective athletes to and from a campus. A subject of agitation for the last six or seven years, the now transportation policy brings the PCC into a pattern of recruiting that is prevalent in other conferences of the nation. Conference spokesman H. P. Everest of the University of Washington, emerging from the closed session of the faculty representatives, said that violations of the old rule had been a "common occurrence." The alumni can bring a prospective athlete to a campus for a one day and night visit. The conference specified that there should not be any form of lavish entertainment, such as a banquet style dinner, and that the cost of the night's lodging and visit can be paid either by the alumni or the school involved. The conference cannot control, Everest admitted, anything that goes on in the trip to or from the campus. He said, however, that efforts will be made to keep such details on a moderate basis. This is the second step the conference has taken in relaxing alumni recruiting activities. In 1945 a rule was abandoned which denied alumni permission to even talk to prospective athletes. As far back as this the conference conceded that alumni activity was difficult to control. The penalty in this instance, as well as the transportation rule, resulted in punishment to the prospective student, who was declared eneligible when the case was detected. Everest said the debate today lasted an hour and a half and that the majority of the faculty representatives expressed the opinion that the change would reflect a "typical and normal interest by an alumnus in a boy's attending his alma mater." In another decision the PCC fathers empowered Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt to settle any conflict where a discrepancy occurs in the transcript of credits which show up at two or more schools. Duke Snider is Due for Raise LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10 (AP)—Brooklyn outfielder Duke Snider and Buzzy Bavasi, vice-president of the Dodgers, huddled today on Snider's 1953 contract. Already one of the higher-paid members of the Flatbush family, Snider figures to get a raise on the basis of his season's work and his World Series performance. Bavasi, who signed Manager Chuck Dressen for another year at Phoenix last week, also conferred here with five other Southern California residents who are Dodgers—Ben Wade, Dick Williams, Rocky Bridges, Vic Marasco and Ronnie Lee. The latter two belong to Montreal, a Brooklyn farm club, but will train with Dressen's club next spring. Bavasi said he is still hopeful the Dodgers can get a southpaw pitcher.

Tribe President Intends to Keep Job, Has Backing CLEVELAND, Dec. 10 (AP) — President Ellis Ryan of the Cleveland Indians said today he intends to keep his job and has the backing of more than 50 per cent of the baseball club's stock. The slim, nervous front office boss of the Tribe said he expects to win his fight to "restore unity in the ball club." If he wins, as he predicts he will, Ryan said he will keep Hank Greenberg as general manager for the remaining two years of Greenberg's three-year contract. When the front office rift first hit the headlines a week ago, it is reported that differences between Ryan and Greenberg had reached a point where one of the other would have to go. Ryan abruptly left the major league meeting at Phoenix, Ariz., at Thursday to return to Cleveland, and the action was interrupted as an indication he had added to sell his 600 shares of the stock and quit the job he took over from Bill Veeck three years ago. Bavasi, who signed Manager Chuck Dressen for another year at Phoenix last week, also conferred here with five other Southern California residents who are Dodgers—Ben Wade, Dick Williams, Rocky Bridges, Vic Marasco and Ronnie Lee.

But Rickey, known as the man who promotes one idea with a thousands words, says he doesn't know whether he will name a manager or not. Said Rickey: "There are several things depending on the decision. The main one being if he wants to become the Pirates manager."
