By Al Newman
ichigan's varsity cross-country
n got off to an auspicious start
their season yesterday by ad-
istering a decisive defeat to the
ran aggregation representing
Detroit Y. M. C. A. The score
16-46.
Michigan tallied by far the low-
'st number of points. In scoring
ross-country runs, the outcome is

trst five to come in on each team.
hus the team with the lowest
Lumber of points ins.
Howell Places First.
Bill Howell, ace of the Michigan
Lrriers, was the outstanding in-
idual star of the day, breaking
00 own course record for the Uni-
ersity layout by nearly ten sec-
ds to win in the excellent time
f fifteen minutes, twenty-eight
Ond four-tenths seconds. Howell,
WI, Wolfe and Fitzgibbons tobk
h6e first four places without trou-
le, Miller of the Detroit squad
reaking the Michigan streak to
alie fifth place. McManus took
1th, and Kelley, of the "Y" broke
r1 again to place seventh in the
aeet as the second Detroit man to'
nish. Ostrander of Michigan took
Ighth, White of Detroit placed
inth, and Braden, of the Wolves,
iok tenth.
Howell Passed by Austin.
The University course, of three
0les, runs from the Ferry Field
val along State street under the
aduct, around the golf course and
ack again. At the start, Howell,
:ill, Fitzgibbons and Wolfe 'of
[Ichigan stepped into the lead,.
rid maintained their position until
he mile-and-a-half mark, when
owell stepped out, only to be pss-
d at the two-mile mark by his old
ammate.
Austin, who graduated 1 a s t
fring, merely ran the course yes-
rday for a workout. The last mile
solved itself into a bitter duel be-
ween Howell and Austin, the two
f them finishing in a driving burst
f speed with but a scant ten feet
parating them.
Austin won, but since he was
unning for neither team, his time
as not recorded. In Vhe time trials
r the meet, earlier in the week,
owell beat the lanky graduate by
mething like° twenty yards, so
iat honors between them for this
ason would seem to be about
ven. Hill, in finishing some thirty
ards behind the two leaders,
lowed fine form. Fitzgibbons and
rolfe, trailing Hill by a scant mar-
in, also ran an excellent race.

an harrier, has been running some
xox1 races in the last few years
r the Detroit Y. M. C. A. He fin-
hed twelfth, appearing to be in
oor condition. However,, the close
nish between Austin' and Howell
rought the meet up to an unusual
andard of interet; such close
wces are not often seen in a cross-
)untry, meet.
The Harriers' crushing victory,
id the fine form they displayed

Rumors Name Successor as Con-
nie Mack, Owen Bush, Steve
O'Neil and Others.
DETROIT, Oct. 17:-According to
the Detroit News Stanley Raymond
Harris will undoubtedly return as
manager of the Detroit Tigers next
year. Although he has not signed
a contract it is understood that he
has been informed that he will be
offered one within the next two
months.
Pending an official announce-
ment from the Detroit base ball
,club offites that Harris will be re-
tained as manager there are vari-
ous rumors regarding his successor.
Among those named to succeed
Harris are Edward Trowridge Col-
lins, assistant to Cornelius McGilli-
cuddy at Philadelphia; Owen Bush,
former Detroit shortstop and who
recently resigned as manager of the
Chicago White Sox; Steve O'Neil,
former Cleveland catcher, later a
Detroit scout and at present man-
ager of the Toronto team in the
International League; Daniel Philip
Howley, manager of the Cincinnati
Reds and former Detroit coach of
pitcher4 and catchers; Clarence
Rowland, former American League
umpire and one time manager oft
a world champion Chicago White
Sox team; William (Kid) Gleason,
former manager of the White Soxt
and for the last several years as-f
sistant to Cornelius McGillicuddyr
at Philadelphia, and a number of
others, both major and minor
leaguers. c

Howard Auer, after starting poor-
ly, came to the front as Michigan's
outstanding lineman y e s t e r d a y
against Ohio State. His play in the
latter stages of the game was bril-
liant as he kept the opposition
completely at bay at his left tackle.

finishing the nine Armour said that
it was one of the most beautiful
courses that he has played over in
some time. He added that it was a
true test of a golfer.
Gene ,Dayton experienced little
difficulty in eliminating Russell
Oliver, freshman from Pontiac, in
the semi-finals of the all-campus
golf tournament yesterday by win-
ning 5 and 4.' Dayton was steady
throughout the match and kept

Hollawaymen Come Back in Last
Quarter to Defeat, Northern
With Long Pass.
Ann Arbor high school's football
team sprang an upset yesterday at
Wines Field by sending the highly
rated Flint Northern high school's
team home in defeat by the nar-
The tendency to sacrifice fielding
ability for hitting power among the
Major League Clubs has elicited a
storm of criticism from baseball
observers. This sacrifice seems to be
especially noticeable among the
first basemen of the two loops.
Very few of the Major League's
initial sackers today are good both
offensively and defensively. This is
especially true in the American
League where only Eddie Morgan
of the Cleveland Indians is a,
double-threat man.
Dale Alexander, big first baseman
of the Tigers is a very powerful
batsman but a weak fielder. Lou
Gehrig, home-run ace of the Yan-
kees is another ball player who has
never been noted for defensive
strength. Jack Burns, rookie with
St. Louis, is good in the field but
no batsman. The veteran Lou Blue
hit better this season than he has
in several years but he slowed up
noticeably in the field.
Foxx is Poor Fielder.
Jimmy Foxx, slugging first base-
man of the Philadelphia Athletics
has never been a good fielder due
largely to the fact that he was de-
veloped originally as a catcher and
a third baseman, before being fi-
nally placed at the initial sack.
In the senior loop the rule is not
as stringent. Don Hurst of the
Philadelphia Phillies has a low de-
fensive value and Gus Suhr, former
Pacific Coast League slugger, now
on his second season with the
Pittsburgh Pirates has never reach-
ed his full hitting stride although
his work in the field has been flaw-
less.
Harvey Hendrick, veteran jack-
of-all-positions who was traded to'
the Cincinnati Reds last season is
another slow fielder. Del Bissonette
of Brooklyn has been ill for the
past two seasons, a fact which na-
turally slowed up his work.
Bottomley Returns to Form.
Sunny Jim Bottomley, whose first
basing exhibition in the last World
Series contributed greatly to the
Cardinals' victory, is the greatest
combination of hitting and fielding
in the senior loop. His work fell
off greatly in 1930 and Jim Collins,
leading hitter at Rochester that
season was brought in by the Red
Birds. $ottomley returned to form
last year, however, and the rookie
got little chance. The Giants had
the slugging Bill Terry, another
man lacking defensive finesse. The
Braves had Earl Sheely, drafted

new event is a tennis tourney and

bers of the faculty vieing for th-

The first round matches are as
follows: Johnstone vs. Michaels;
Gearhart vs. Brassfield; McCluske ,,

Coach Johnstonie, who is in chargo
of this event as tennis mentor,
hopes that good weather will pre -
vail until the matches, includin ;
a consolation meet, are run off.
The golf tournament alread1

However, none of these has been
considered officially by the Detroit
club as a successor to Harris.
While Harris will start his fourth
season as manager of the Tigers in
1932 he will be without the assist-
ance of Jean Dubuc and Roger
Bresnahan. Dubuc, a former De-
troit pitcher and minor league
manager, and Bresnahan, former
National League manager and one
of the greatest catchers of all time,
have had charge of the Detroit
pitchers and catchers for the last
two years.
Harris will have only one assist-
ant next season and he will be
"Muddy" Ruel, who caught for
Harris when Harris was manager
of the Washington team and who
came to Detroit last August in a
trade for Marty McManus.

Flint made a 65-yard march for
a touchdown early in the last peri-
od and appeared to have the game
on ice. Ann Arbor steamed up by
holding the Eskimos after kicking
off, forcing them to kick to their
own 40-yard line.
On the second play Royce drop-
ped back and threw a 25-yard pass
into the awaiting arms of Jennings
Who sprinted over the goal line,
tieing the score. Royce then put his
team ahead with a field goal.
Although the Hollowaymen lack-
ed the scoring punch when it was
needed yesterday, they showed con-
siderable improvement over last
week's game in Saginaw. The line
play had improved and the linemen

In the first half Ann Arbor had
the upper edge, keeping the ball in

half. In the second half Flint be-
