Infected Ear Has Handicapped
Lineman; Expected to Be
Ready for Chicago.
Foot;all critics have repeatedly
said this fall that Michigan will be
no better than her tackles. With
extra strength in every other de-
partment the Wolverines will look
to the tackles, Auer and Samuels,
to carry on as the weakest link in
the Maize and Blue 1931 gridiron
chain.
Many close followers haveslooked
for Coach Kipke to revamp one of
his many ends into a substitute
tackle to strengthen the reserve
material at that post. Cooke, Cant-
rill, and Wally Miller have shgwn
..ossibilities and may make capable
substitutes. The latter is a letter-
man of this position last year.
Howard Auer, of Bay City, is play-
ing his third year at tackle. He
broke into the lineup in his sopho-
more year and has stayedin except
for an ear infection which forced
him out last season just before the
Ohio State game.
Although the Bay City youth has
never won national fame, he was
considered a star of Michigan's line
last season until the infection forc-
ed him out. By the time of the
Harvard game he was supposed to
be ready again but the ear still
bothered and he could not play a
full game.
The 196-pound left tackle plays
next to Williamson, the steady end
and the two pair together in a
sweet line combination. Auer is a
heady tackle and is very hard to
take out of a play. He is a hard
tackler.
More fans see him going down
under punts when he covers the
middle territory between the two
ends. With Williamson and Hewitt
on the outside and Auer pounding
down the center, opponent quarter-
backs have an unusually hard job
in returning punts.
Several times each game, Howard
makes a spectacular tackle by pull-
ing down some runner from behind

Coach West.
Opening the season with two easy,
victories in the Saturday double
header, Michigan's grid team start-
ed work yesterday in secret practice
for the first Big Ten clash of the
1931 schedule, next Saturday's en-
counter with Chicago.
Monday afternoon's practice ses-
sion was devoted to working out
several new plays which will be
usedeagainst the Maroons. The men
running through the plays were
'changed about so as to give every
one an opportunity to become
familiar with the new formations.
The Wolverines came through the
two opening contests with Michi-
gan State Normal and Central State
Teachers without any serious injur-
ies.
While Coach Harry G. Kipke was
working with the backs on the new
plays which he gave the team,
Cappy Cappon was drilling the line-
men on both defensive and offen-
sive fundamentals in their depart-
ment. When the entire squad was
brought together a picked team
went through the new plays with
another eleven on defense while the
rest of the squad looked on.
Whether Chicago will be able to
put a first class team or only a
mediocre one in the stadium against
the Wolves this week will be decided
today.
The eligibility of Pat Page, Jr..
is the most important upknown
factor which will be determined
today when young Page takes a
final examination in German. Coach
Stagg seems to be benking heavily'
on Pat's knowledge of the German
language as he has been using the
lad regularly at half and full back
posts in practice.
' j -
Should Page make the grade, will meet Thursday afternoon at
Coach Kipke's men will be faced
with the best plunger that Chicago
has had since the Thomas brothers.'
?at Jr., is also an excellent punter'
and a fair passer.
Two veteran backs will also at-
tempt to clear up their eligibility
this week. The men in question are
Lou Kanne, who backedaup the line
and kicked well last year, and Jae
Temple, a two letter man. There is{
still another ineligible, Aufden-
spring, who stood out at full back
on last fall's yearling team. His case
is considered much more promising.
The injured leg of Paul Stagg,
son of the Maroon coach, has pro-
gressed satisfactorily and he will1
be back in uniform early this week.
Three sophomores, Sahlin, Zimmer,
and Page, if he is eligible, will prob-
ably start in the backfield with
Stagg for the Midway eleven. 1

sophomores, Cliff Friend, Walter
Kline, and Robert Moreland.
During the fall the Department
will run off five All-Campus events;
golf, Sigma Delta Psi, Tennis, soc-
cer, and cross country. Seven fra-
ternity events: speedball, volleybail,
dual swimming, water polo, hand-
ball, cross country, and wrestling
are also carded.
The Independent program has
three sports: touch football, cross
country, and volley ball; while two
faculty events, both new, are in-
cluded, golf and tennis. Full winter
and spring calendars have been
planned for each division and will
be announced in due time.
The opening event on the fall
part of the fraternity program will
be the popular sport of speedball.
This sport starts next Monday, the
entries closing today.
Chick Hafey of the Cards and Al Simmons of the Athletics, each
the champion hitter of his league, who are now arguing with the ash
sticks for the slugging supremacy of the World's Series.. Yesterday's
honors were about even, with two safeties for the National league bats-
man, and one for the redoubtable American Leaguer. Al's went for a
homer in the ninth inning which prevented Burleigh Grimes, Cardinal
pitcher; from cofecting the Series record for a one-hit game.
