MID-WEST Drake at MARQUETTE Haskell at XAVIER FAR-WEST SOUTHERN CAL. at Washington Oregon at ST. MARY'S IN SELECTING Brown over Colgate we are throwing to the winds the a d v a n c e dope of comparative strengths. The "Red Raiders" have piled up 243 points to their oppo- nents' 0 in eight games.. In the last five of their eight battles Colgate has gained 1,344 to 203 yards from the line of scrim- mage. They have made 84 first downs to 15 for the opposition. Brown has scored 81 points to 21 and have made 640 yards to 456 for their seven-game opposition. Theiri opponents have made 44 first downs against their own 40 andahave out- gained them through the air. Brown's opposition has been harder than Colgate's but the Red Raiders have played N. Y. U., Penn State, Lafayette, and Syracuse. The Bears have met Columbia, Harvard, Holy Cross, and Yale. Both teams had an off day last Saturday and are primed to clash today. Our only excuse for the se- lection is that we are in the throes of hunches and are abiding by them. * * * SOUTHERN CALIIFORNIA has to ighthard to take Washington into camp today in Seattle and win the Pacific Coast championship and receive the Rose Bowl game as the western team. The Huskies are out after this game but we believe that the Golden Bear power plays through the line will win out in the end. STAN FAY and Harry Kipke have a great deal in common. The Coach played three years at Mich- igan without playing in a losing game and the 1933 gridiron captain has played two years without a de- feat. In the Ohio State game last year Fay was on the bench and did not get in, Harry Newman and Ivan William- son are leaving Michigan with a great record behind them. Three years of football and three Confer- e n c e champion- ships. This is they first time since the point-a- minuute te;; years that two players have been on three confer- ence-title teams in successive years.. HA R RY NEW- MAN was vot- ed Michigan's most NEWMAN valuable player for the Chicago Trib- une trophy at the same time that Fay was elected to captaincy. New- man has won football games by passes, by running the ball himself, and by place-kicks. How else can. ball games be won? Sometimes he won games with passes and kicks as against Purdue three years ago. He was sent into the game, shot two passes that scored and successfully converted the points after each one, after the Boilermak-j ers had earned a 13-0 lead at half- time. Against Minnesota it was his steady toe that won for Michigan. Chicago remembers his runback of a punt in the first quarter as the play that beat them although he added another six points with an end run in the last quarter. All in all there is not a man in the Conference today that has won as many games for his team as Newman and how else should a most valuable man be selected? Without him Mich- igan would be a losing team but with him they won repeatedly. There has been a great deal of talk recently that the Chicago trophy is s, 4 Lead Colgate In Bid For Eastern Title Big Ten Grid Receipts Fall Lower Again (Associated Press Photo) When the two mighty elevens of Colgate and Brown meet this afternoon in a contest which will prob- ably spell the first defeat of the season for one of them, one more team will be eliminated in the question of national champions. The "Red Raiders" of Colgate will present a light but brilliant line led by Capt. Bob Smith, who plays at guard, and Bart Ellis, tackle. In the backfield Charles Soleau directs the smooth- working Maroon outfit from his post at quarterback. Colgate is unbeaten anG unscored upon this fall, and it is upon these stars of offense and defense that Colgate depends to keep her record clear. Colgate-Brown Tilt Largest On Eastern Card Contest Will Determine Football Title; N. Y. U. To Meet Carnegie NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-MP)-Not the least of the interesting side- lights involved in the Brown-Colgate football clash tomorrow will be the duel of wits between Coaches Andy Kerr and De Ormond (Tuss) Mc- Laughry, two of the East's brilliant teachers of the game. B9th are worshippers at the shrine of the famous play-maker, Glenn Scobey (Pop) Warner but they've evolved strikingly dissimilar exam- ples of theWarner system. Brown Attack New McLaughry, in fact, has gone. a long step past the master with the triple- wing attack that has baffled every team Brown has faced this year. McLaughry has been teaching this unique attack, used by no other elevens, for several seasons but only this year has herhad a team able to master the intricate details so it can be usedfor every play in the Bears' repertoire. Kerr, at Colgate, uses the stand- ard double-wing formation but his gifted backs have loaded it up with all the deception in the world as the "Red Raiders" rivals this season will be quite ready to testify. Spectators at Providence will need to watch closely if they expect to see just who is carrying the ball for the Kerrmen. This match of undefeated and united teams has conspired to shunt other eastern Thanksgiving day at- tractions pretty much into the back- ground but there will be no lack of customers at the annual struggle at IPhiladelphia between Cornell and Pennsylvania. Carnegie Tech and New York Uni- versity will renew their bitter rivalry at New York and so will West Vir- ginia and Washington and Jefferson. a political venture for them. In the last eight years it has been awarded to eight different schools with Wis- consin and Purdue as the other two. If Moss or Horstman of Purdue or McGuire win this season. these ru- mors will be confirmed. Everyone knows that Newman is far more val- uable than any other player in the Conference but if the award is given to Moss we personally feel that Mich- igan should refuse to vote again in this interest-drawing political ven- ture of the Tribune.

Next year Coach Kipke will have a pair of Stones to contend with, Charles E. and Edward A., end and guard. r. Four Schools In Conference Select Captains Four Big Ten teams have already chosen their football captains for the 1933 elevens. Michigan's champion- Vihip squad chose Stanley Fay, bril- liant halfback to lead them next sea- son. At Purdue, "Dutch" Fehring, star tackle, and mentioned on many all- conference teams, was chosen .to lead the Boilermakers in 1933. At Illinois, Herman Waser, fullback; received the election, while Pete Zimmer, Chicago halfback, was named by the Maroons. Engel To Try Hand At Winter Baseball League In South PENSACOLA, Fla.-()-Joe En- gel, the showman of Southern As- sociation baseball, whose Chatta- nooga team won the league pennant and the Dixie series, is turning his hand to winter baseball. His idea istto form a winter base- ball league in west Florida, that would serve the double purposedof training for the regular season and give the competitive spirit that comes from playing in a league. Engel said he has been promised support from Marianna, Panama City, Appalachicola and Port St. Joe. Pensacola and Tallahassee also are expected to join the league.. Being Persistent Helps Big Rambler Guard At' School SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 23.-(P) -Notre Dame has reason to be thankful that Norm Greeney, big right guard on the Ramblers this year, is a persistent fellow. Had he taken the first "no" for an answer he would not even have become a student at Notre Dame, to say nothing of becoming one of the star football players there. His application to enter the school was rejected when he first attempted to enroll. But return of his application be- cause registration was closed failed to discourage him. He took a train to South Bend, and spent two weeks arguing with all the officials, before he finally obtained admittance. FEATURE SWIMMING Intramural activities in the wo- men's athletic division will feature swimming, with bowling and rifle shooting as subsidiary sports. The interclass activity will be in basket- ball for the indoor season. Michigan's "B" court squad will have two games this year, Dec. 3 and 8 against Turnverein and Windsor. New Ruling On Metric System Made By A.A.U. Michigan Sports Not To Be Aflected By Change In Trac Measure Action taken by the Amateur Ath- letic Union in adopting the metric system as their standard will not af- fect the University of Michigan, it was learned yesterday. Michigan be- longs to the National Collegiate Ath- letic Associatoin and, with other members of that organization, is in- dependent of the rulings of the A. A. U. However, should the N. C. A. A. at its meeting in December adopt a similar proposition, the University would necessarily fall into line. The change from the English sys- tem of yards and miles to the metric system would involve the expendi- ture of large sums of money by prac- tically every athletic organization in the country, it was pointed out by Charlie Hoyt and Matt Mann, Michi- gan athletic coaches. According to Hoyt, Wolverine track coach, Michi- gan would be no exception in this regard. Both the outdoor track and the cinder path in the Field House would have to be considerably re- vamped to meet with the new speci- fications. Another expensive job would be the reconstruction of the swimming pool, Matt Mann said. In the opinion of both men the A. A. U. heads did not consider the difficulty of adapting athletic plans to the re- quirements of the metric system of measurement when they made the ew ring. NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-()-The Amateur Athletic Union has gone on the metric standard. Without a dissenting voice, the ruling body of amateur athletics in this country has scrapped the time- honored yardage system in favor of meters and kilometers as the stand- ard measurement for all track and feld events. This change voted yesterday at the closing session of the A. A. O.'s forty- fourth annual convention, will be ef- fective Jan. 1 and will apply only to track and field sports. Organizations affiliated with the A. A. U. are expected to follow that body's lead, although there may be adverse reaction from the national collegiate A. A., which is understood to be opposed to the change. The in- tercollegiate A. A. A. A. A., at its last annual meeting, however, favored it and announced it was ready to ap- Football Will Be Unable one of the outstanding gridiron clashes in many seasons when Ham- To Carry Expense Of tramck takes on Cooley High next Saturday afternoon, for the unoffi- Usual Minor Sports cial high school championship.
