From his new halfback position Hudson pierced the freshmen line, extending his jaunts into the yearling secondary defense, and rolling up a tremen- dous total of yardage from the line of scrimmage. Coach Kipke shifted Hudson to the halfback post Monday and was entirely satisfied with the results yesterday. Roy played his best foot- ball from this position last year and has not functioned in his old style so far this season, mainly cri- tics think, because he has had to bear the additional burden of all line plunging. Hudson Leads Offense. With CaptainHudson leading the offense, the Varsity used their new plays to good advantage against the yearlings. Fay and Hewitt gave the Wolverine Captain fair block- ing but Coach Kipke was not satis- fied with the general blocking and sent the backs against a group of freshmen for special practice in this division of attack. Later in the session, a selected group of first-year men were sent through the Princeton plays. Coach Cappon has scouted the Tigers for the last few games and has noted improvement in the play of the Princeton eleven each week al- though they were defeated by Cor- nell, Brown, and the Navy. Coach Al Witmer is desperate and he will be taking all kinds of chances Sat- urday to put his team back on the road to victory. Kipke Works New Kickers. With Tessmer, Heston, and Ever- hardus all suffering from minor in- juries, Coach Kipke put Renner, Eastman, and Roy Hudson through a special kicking workout. If Mich- igan's three regular punters should be out of the game, Kipke will have to call on one of the latter group to perform in this depart- ment. The linemen were used against each other in an effort to improve their line-play. Although they out- played the Illinois' line, Coach Kipke expects them to meet stif- fer competition against the Tigers and must improve their offensive form.

HUDSON AT HALF TO AID BLOCKING MAJOR LEAGUE THIRD SACKERS SET LOW STANDARD THIS YEAR Assocuaed Press Photo By Sheldon C. Fullerton Coach Harry Kipke's worries over a backfield seem to be about through, but now the Michigan mentor finds himself confronted with another problem, that of using all of the available men whose namc3 can be found on the roster of the Wolverine squad. With Bill Hewitt firmly en-% trenched in the fullback posi- tion, Kipke has moved Captain Roy Hudson to a halfback post, giving the Varsity squad at least four halves capable of fill- ing regular positions. Fay, Hes- ton, and Everhardus have al- ready proved their right to work in the Michigan back- field, and now that Hudson has also been shifted to half the problem arises as to just which two should play. With Hudson at one halfback post, Fay at the other, Tessmer at quarter, and Hewitt at fullback Michigan would have one of the best blocking quartets behind the line in the history of the Maize and Blue. While the Wolverines captain has starred as a ball carrier in his two years on the team, it is as a defensive back that he is at his best. If Hudson plays when Tess- mer is calling s nals, Heston probably will get into the game when Harry Newman assumes the quarterback duties. This shift will give Michigan not such a strong defensive quar- tet, but the potential scoring will be heightened by the less conservative signal calling of Newman and the flashy run- ning ability of Heston.

HARRIERS TO GET PLENT Y OF WORK Bluege, TraynormDykes Turn in Best Performance for Big Time Circuits. By Fred A. Huber. Due largely to the failure of a number of rookies to fill the bill the third base situation was worse in the major leagues during 1931, than it has been for some years past.

This sport is an innovation of the season and is expected to be of interest this and coming years. A total of five teams have signed for this tourney, including the Buckeyes, all-around winners of two years ago, and four teams un- named to date. The Department needs at least eight teams to con- duct this meet satisfactorily and hopes for three more entries be- fore the close of the week. No less than 20 individuals have signed up on the bulletin board to play in Independent competition this year but are unorganized as yet. This is a splendid opportunity for some independent students to step in as managers and organize a couple teams to compete in the calendar of ten sports that runs throughout the year. This first event will be conduct- ed with every team playing every other team entered to determine the winner. Besides the individual trophy offered, the points made in this event will as usual count to- ward the final all-year standingq and placque which goes with them The Michiganders who won thi: honor last year are not yet enter- ed but are epected in the near fu- ture. field to make room for the highly touted Vergez from the Pacific Coast.
