Only two more practice sessions now separate the Wolverines from their contest with the Hawkeyes and today's drill will be the last intensive work of the 1824 season. Tomorrow the squad will go through plays and will have a light workout on fundamentals. The coaches continued to stress the passing, kicking, and line work yes- terday afternoon. The pass attack is expected to play a large part in the f nal contest of the year, especially in consideration of the bulky Iowa line. ,Friedman is being carefully groomed . this week and in addition there will be Parker, Steger, or Rockwell to assist in the aerial game. Parker, who was kept out because of injurie' at the start of the season after he had shown great form in every d- partment of the game, is likely to be given a chance to perform in the final tussle of the season. At the start of the year he got almost as much dist- ance on his boots as Rockwell, was the best forward passer on the squad, and displayed a lot of talent in the running game. Michigan's line .attack Is likely to give better results this week than at any time before this season, in spite of the size and experience of the Iowa forward wall. The Wolverine line has gradually developed to a point where it is considered one of the best in the section and Dutch Marion is at the height of his career. Saturday's game will be his last in college footbal and if he shows the same talent he dId last week at Ohio It will undoubt- edly be his greatest. McGugin Calls B Teams C "Western Conference teams are the lest in the country." This is the opinion of Dan McGu- gin, head coach at Vanderbilt, who was in Ann Arbor yesterday on his way to Minneanolis, where his team will play Minnesota Saturday. Mc- Gugin was a member of the famous Yost-coached teams of a decade ago, and spent the afternoon talking over old times with his former teacher and brother-in-law, and discussing the football situation in general. When asked his opinion with regard to the comparison between leadingl teams of the South and those of the Big Ten, he made the statement that there was really no comparison, and that the Conference elevens were out- standing in the country. - Mr. McGugin said that this pointt might not always hold good in meas-t Airing up the individual merits of two . representative teams, but that he felt certaz that five or six teams from thet East could not trim the same numberc of Big Ten elevens.l The Vanderbilt mentor would not make any definite statement regard- ing his team's chances against Min- nesota. In spite of the distance be- tween the two schools, he has kepti posted on Minnesota's style of play,t and his eleven is well prepared for theI Gopher attack. McGgin is countingI strongly on the worki of Wateheld, ,hs great end. He says that he cn- siders Wakefield the equal of any flanker in the game. In the Georgia Tech game, it was he who booted a long field goal for the only score of the game. He also was a sensation at breaking up the running attack of the Golden Tornado. McGugin told of how Wakefield, playing six yards be- hind the line of scrimmage, in the position of defensive halfback, once nailed Doug Wycoff, the Tech star, for a six yard loss. Wycoff is a fast man himself, yet Wakefield was able to i 3 .
