GRID SQUAD TAIZZ' W EE OF INTENSJ"Tv7E DRILL COACHES WILL SEEK TO IR0ON OUT1FAWS Five Men Are Transferred From "B" Squad; Practice To Be In Secret STRONG OFFENSE SOUGHT With anything but bright pros- pects before them after the sound trouncing administered by the Ohio Wesleyan outfit last Saturday, the Varsity football squad settled down to a week of intensive drill behind locked gates to iron out the flaws that appeared in the opening game. In an effort to supply the offen- sive punch so sadly lacking in the contest with the Bishops, five men have been advanced from the Jun- ior Varsity on the strength of their showings in the game with Mt. Un- ion college at Alliance and the scrimmages with the regulars last week. This group includes three back- field men, Dallas Whittle, Alvin Dahlam and John Totzke; Harsen Smith, an end; and Robert Wil- liams, tackle or guard. Whittle is a letterman from the 1927 squad and is a capable passer and kicker; Totzke's specialty is punting, while Dahlam's speed may supply the drive that a successful backfield must have. Reports from the coaches who scouted. the Indiana game indicate that Pat Page has developed a powerful aggregation which will give the Wolves some of the. hard- est Conference competition of the season. The Hoosiers have a vet- eran team, an exceptionally heavy forward wall and a real offensive threat in Captain Bennett. While the Indiana team was forc- ed to come from behind in its con- test with Oklahoma Saturday to eke out a 10-7 victory, the Michi- gan coaches feel confident that the Pagemen will invade the new sta- dium Saturday determined to ac-' complish something that a Hoosier eleven has never yet succeeded in1 doing, namely to .trip a Wolverine team on its home field. Yesterday's practice saw the en-1 tire squad put through a long and' strenuous tackling practice in anI effort to remedy the poor showing of the team Saturday in this de- partment. Three sets of freshment backs kept the Varsity players busy1 until rain forced them indoors., While Coaches Wieman, Cappon< and Veenker were watching the tacklers and correcting their faults,E Coach Yost spent his time with the punters and passers, with some of the backs receiving punts, while others ran down' for passes. Whit- tle was given considerable instrue- tion in the art of throwing the ball. Inside the field house the squad was given a number of new plays and then they were divided up into teams and proceeded to run through them. A long signal drill completed the afternoon's work. The first part of this week will be devoted almost exclusively to work of an offensive nature and the team will take the field much better prepared to offer a. real at- tack than was the case against Wesleyan. Tackling practice will be in order all week, while the two days preceding Saturday's game will see the men drilling on a de- fense to stop the Hoosier attack. Meanwhile Coaches Courtright and Brown were correcting the faults exhibited by the Junior Var- sity against the Mt. Union team, and remaking their backfield, an act necessitated by the promotion of Whittle, Dahlam and Totzke. A number of new plays were giv- en out by Coach Courtright and the squad spent the latter part of the practice session in becoming acquainted with them.

Two years ago I took my trusty briar along on a trip abroad, intending to revel in the delights of the famous mixtures in London. I confess that I did not carry along with me any of the little blue tins of Edgeworth. But the joke was on me. I went back to Edge- worth, only this time I had to pay 45c for a 15c tin of Edgeworth! Incidentally, on a trip through England and later through Ireland, I was surprised to find the wide distribu- tion and ready sale of Edgeworth in Great Britain.

The Wolverines fell short of the standard of other years in the fun- damentals as well as in the finer points of the game, the blocking, tackling and general team play be- ing lamentably weak. An example of the daring displayed by the winners is to be found in the dash through the line that netted 48 yards by Breese, when e v e r y o n e thought that the Bishops would certainly kick, the ball being within their own ten yard mark. , 1 wall that rezused to give more .u very than a few yards at a time be- important.

Breese outpunt- ed both Simrall and Wheeler throughout the contest, some of his kicks going as far as 60 and 70 yards with the roll. Wheeler, who handled almost all of the Michigan passing, al- though he was hurried on sev- eral occasions by the Wesleyan ends, lacked the accuracy of} Louie Gilbert as well as his ability to spot a man in the clear to throw to. Opposed to the Michigan team was an experienced, well trained aggregation that played a heady game, and took full advantage of their opponents' inexperience, with the obvious result that the Wolver- ines lost their first opener since . 1888. "'Silent Otto" played an un- usually fine game, making tac- kles on both sides of the line, covering Wheeler's punts well, and one occasion he scooped up Waid's fumble and sprinted across the Wesleyan goal only to have the play called back because under the new rules I the kicking side cannot ad- vance the ball after a fumble beyond the point where the tackle is made. crippled Yankees inside of four or five games. Three straight losses to the.un- derdogs seem to have taken the starch completely out of the Red- birds. The failures of Sherdel and Alexander put the Cards two down with five to go, but McKechnie still had big Jeff Haines, who had blanked practically the same Yan- kee team in 1926 to count on, and on Haines rested the Cardinals'; hopes of getting back into the se- ries. But the combination of Ruth and: Gehrig that beat Sherdel and push- ed Alexander off the mound re- fused to be stopped, and the two Yankee sluggers, aided by three Cardinal errors, broke up the third game as they had the first two, while the aged Zachary, forced to pitch behind early inning support! fully as bad as that given by St.I Louis, came through with but three runs scored off of him to add the final blow. With Waite Hoyt, who ruffled the Redbirds' feathers so sadly in the first game again on the mound for the Yanks, the Cardinals' chances to prolong the series appear slim indeed.
