Hall Of Immortals By Star Work In Big Series

News From Big Ten Camps

ILLINOIS
Coach Bob Zuppke is looking for.f
ward to another winning team thisc
year. His hopes are fortified by the1
presence of the mighty "Red" Grange,I
the All-American halback, who isf
starting upon his second year of col-
legiate competition, Besides Grange,,
Zuppke has 14 letter men returning,
including Captain Rokusek at end,
eight linemen, and last year's three to'
her backfield men.
Besides his veterans, the Illini
mentor will have .a fair-sized assort-1
ment of sophomores to pick from.
Especially promising are Shively,l
Leonard, Gallivan, Dancey, and Bus-
sey, backs; Wilson, tackle, and Kas-
sel, end.
MINNESOTA
Minnesota flans and players are not
daunted by either the prospect of an
exceedingly tough schedule or the
jinx of a new stadium, and Coaci"
Spaulding and Captain Cox are al-
ready getting their heads together in
antocipation of ta series of victories
in the new Gopher edifice.
The Northmnen are slated to tackle
Illinois, Haskell Wisconsin, Iowa,'
Michigan Ames, and Vanderbilt.
OHIO STATE
Columbus will be the scene of six
big games this season as the Buck-
eyes clash with Purdue, Illinois Chi-
cago Michigan, Iowa and Indiana, on
their own field,.
Captain "Ted" Young is playing his
customary aggressive game at center
and is being ably supported by Wilson
and Cunningham. ends, Kutler and
Schluist, gards, Watts center, Judy,
quarter, Klee, Wendler, Snyder, and
Carlson, halflyacks, and Hamilton,
fullback.
INDIANA
In spite of the prospect of a fast
eleven this fall, the Indiana fans are
plunged in gloom, which pervades
Bloomington. The reason is that the
new memorial stadium, which was to
have been ready for use this fall, is
now nothing more than a crumbled
nmass of debris. A frost early last
spring caught the concrete in its earlyI
stages of setting, and numerous
cracks appeared. This in turn caused
crumbling, which continued at such
an alarming pace that. the structure

was damaged beyond repair, and this!
summer was, demolished by means ofs
dynpimite and electric drills. The
work of rebuilding the stadium has
been shortened, and next year will
see its dedicatfon.
CHICAGO
Coach Alonzo Stagg is not faced!
with a particularly stiff schedule, and!
It is fortunate for his own sake as
well as that of the school, as prospects
for the Maroon eleven tare anything
but bright.
Captain Gowdy, Pondelik, Rolleston,
Hobscheid, Hibben, Lampe, Barnes,j
Abbott, Curley, Harry Thomas,. Caru-
so, McCarty, and Francis are the l
choice of Stagg's list.
IOWA
Burt Ingwerson, in taking over the
coaching position at Iowa; is fortunate
in having such )an imposing array of
talent with which to iake his debut
as mentor at the Hawkeye school.
Some twenty men with previous ex-
perience on the Hawkeye squad arp,
back for practice, and everything I
points to a fast, heavy, . aggressive

Hawkeyes will consist of Michigan,
Illinois Minnesota, Ohio State, Butler,
and Wisconsin.

Harris are hard at work preparing
for a schedule, which will include
Notre Dame, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, Ames, and Chicago.

things from Harris, whoIVthey:ex-

-- Ann Arbor Prefers Enrgin

The tremendous amount of Energine
used by the Swiss Garment Cleaning Co.,
in dry cleaning shows beyond question
that the people of Ann Arbor realize that
it is the superior dry cleaning agent. It
leaves no grease or odor on garments.
Fabrics thus cleaned are brighter-they

sensational victory, while 'McGraw's
machine crumbled.
The Giants held their own for- the
first =four games, due to the sensa-
tional home run hitting of the veteran
Casey Stengel whose circuit 'clouts
were the deciding factors in two
games, the climax coming in the six
th game, when, after a last gallant
stand, Art Nehf, southpaw star of 'the
Giants, collapsed and the National
Leaguers surrendered their crown.'
Herb Pennock, portside ace of the
Yankees, was the pitching star, with I
two victories to his credit. Joe Bush
and Bob Shawkey were credited with
the others for the Yankees while Ryan
and Nehf gained the Giant triumphs.
The best swilring perfprmance was
that of Sam Jones, who held the Giants
to four hits in the third game but lost
because one of these was a home by
Stengel, the only score of the game,
while the Yankees were unable to
make effective use of these six blows;

The Yankees wide margin at the
