Wolverine Team 1 .;Backs Who Will Be Big Factors In Minnesota Game To Arrive Today At Gopher Lair Nine Backfield Men, Five Guards, Four Tackles, And Five Ends TakenI Last Workout Held Minnesota Power Plays Fail To Gain Very Much AgainstMichigan Line After concluding their final home practice of the season yesterday af- ternoon, 26 Michigan football men entrained^ for Minneapolis, where they will play their last game of thes year Saturday afternoon. Practice is carded in the Minnesota Stadium tomorrow afternoon for the Wolverines. While in Minneapolis they will stay at the Curtis Hotel. The squad that departed was the smallest one to take the road for Michigan yet this season. Only nine backfield men were carried on to the lair of the Gophers. These included the regular backfield of Newman, Pay, Regeczi and Everhardus, while five substitutes, Heston, Oliver, West- over, DeBaker, and Renner also made the trip. Heston may see action for the first time since his injury in the Ohio State game. With the return of Ted Petoskey to a flank post, five ends are on the trip, including Captain Williamson, Willis Ward, Ted Petoskey, Chapman and Cox. Japanese Cage Squad Coming Over On Tour, Hoosiers Favored To Capture Conference Cross Country Title Meiji University QuintetR Will Meet Variety Of American Collegest Meiji University, of Japan, is plan- ning to send its basketball squad on1 an extensive tour of the United1 States, sailing from Japan on or about the twelfth of December. This is believed to be the first time a Jap- anese college has ever sent a basket- ball team on such a tour. Landing at Seattle, the Orientals will play most of the large coast schools, including Washington State, University of Washington, Southern California, Montana, Nevada, Mon- tana State, and Leland Stanford. To go East They will then travel eastward, this part of the schedule being ar- ranged by Ray Fisher, Michigan ath- letic coach, who toured Japan this summer while in charge of Michi- gan's baseball team. This part of the, itinerary, although not complete as yet, includes a game with Michigan State in addition to contests with several smaller mid-west colleges. The Japanese will sail from San' Francisco on March 1st, and will play Indiana's cross country team is3 favored to win the Big Ten Meet to be run over the Purdue course at La- fayette, Indiana tomorrow morning. The Hoosiers will be seeking the fifth consecutive hill and dale title. Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota are conceded a chance to upset the dope-bucket. Coach Charlie Hoyt, the -Wolverine mentor, adds Purdue to this list, saying that although they have shown little so far this year they have the material for a fine outfit and may be at the peak Saturday. Wolves' Win Surprising Since Michigan's surprising victory two weeks ago in a triangular meet with Illinois and Ohio their stock has gone up considerably, and Hoyt gives them an outside chance to win if Indiana's strong four is "cut up" by the other individual stars entered. Hoyt said, though, that he would be pleased to see his team finish sec-. and or third. Indiana's three stars from last year, Brocksmith, Watson and Hornbostel who finished first, third and sixth in last year's Big Ten meet have been reinforced by a surprising newcomer in Neese. Captain Woolsey of Illinois and Swalbach of Wisconsin are ex- several games in Hawaii before re- turning home. pected to give Brocksmith a good race. Howell Handicapped The injury to Michigan's star, Cap- tain Doc Howell, who ran second to Brocksmith last year, has been a serious handicap to the Wolverines all season and will be particularly felt Saturday. Doc will run Satur- day but is conceded little chance to press the leaders. Hoyt announced definitely yester- day that John Clarke will make the trip, along with Captain Howell, Rod Howell, Bill Hill, Bob Ostrander and Dick McManus. They will leave at 11 a. m. today. Japan To Place High In Next Olympic Games AMES, Iowa, Nov. 17.-(P)-Robert I. Simpson, head track and field coach at Iowa State college, in a long-time forecast predicts United States athletes will win the 1936 Olympics, with Japan their principal rival. "Italy, too, is on the up-grade," he says. "But Great Britain, Sweden, and Canada will have to improve in team strength before they become dangerous." (Associated Press Photo) The outcome of Saturday's game will probably depend on the actions of these four men. Harry Newman, Michigan's double threat man, and John Regeezi, sophomore, whose kicks have helped Michigan out of many bad spots are the biggest threats in the Maize and Blue combination, Jack Manders, Minnesota's line plunger, and Pug Lund, the Gophers' versatile Backfield star will be the big guns in their attacks. Four tackles are also included in the roster, Austin, Wistert, Damm, Hildebrand, while Bernard, Ford, and Fuog were carried to dispatch t h e > center duties. Five ! g u a r d s, Cantrill, Savage, iarcovsky and Singer, com- plete the personnel of the squad. - In the final work- out yesterday the varsity was sent through a long of- 6Ei'M fensive scrimmage, against a team composed of Junior Varsity men, armed with Minnesota plays. The Gopher power plays failed to gain against the Maize-and-Blue boys, especially after the addition of Charlie Bernard to the lineup. Jerry Ford started the practice at center, but soon gave way to Bernard, who broke through the line and smeared the ball carrier repeatedly. Attempts to -forward pass also met with little success. Here it was New- man and Regeczi who were most suc- cessful in stopping the pseudo-Go- pher air attack. Mat Team To Meet Penn State, Navy On Eastern Trip The Varsity wrestling team will make a trip East this winter and will engage in two meets with a pair of the strongest Eastern squads, Penn State and Navy. These two meets will be on consecutive nights, the first match being with Penn State on Feb. 10 and the latter with the Navy Feb. 11. The squad is now rounding into shape and will have its full roster with the end of football when Bill Hildebrand, Johnny Kowalik, and Hilton Ponto will come out. Hilde- brand is expected to fill the gap in the heavy-weight class made by the graduation of Cliff Stoddard. Last year Hildebrand won the All-Campus 175-pound. championship, but will work as a heavy this year. Johnny Kowalik and Hilton Ponto are going to be used in the light-heavy class.

Dunn changed the ball as the teams traded goals and when they lir ,d up again the ball was on the 30-yard marker. The Eds did not protest and the Frosh quarter, Bolas, did not notice the .difference. Hunn, freshman halfback, pulled a smart play. Going back to punt in the fourth quarter, he received a poor pass from center, and as he sidestepped two Phys. Ed. players, started .to run with the ball. They stopped. Hunn also stopped and pro- ceeded- to calmly punt the pigskin well down the field.
