Cornell's "Big Reds" will arrive in
Ahn Arbor today for their intersec-
4X'nal game tomorrow afternoon in
lae Michigan Stadium.
(Coach Gilmour Dobie will have his
s4iad work-out in the Stadium this
4fternoon then take them to Oak-
land Hills Country Club where they
Will remain until game time tomor-
ro1v.
ccording to information from
Ithaca, N. Y., the eastern team is
primed to give. the favored Wolverine
otfit a hard battle.
Two Injured
Only two men had injuries of any
importance. Terry, a reserve back,
had a bruised leg that may keep him
out of tomorrow's game. Nunn, ca-
pgple reserve end, has been working
out this week with a nose-guard pro-
teeting his nose which was fractured
in the Richmond game last week.
Dobie's crew already has two
games against minor opponents to
their credit this season. They took
St. Lawrence into camp, 35 to 0, two
weeks ago and trimmed Richmond
under wraps, 28 to 7, last Saturday.
In Johnny Ferraro, left half and
acting captain, Cornell has a triple-
threat man that the Wolverine may
have trouble stopping. Ferraro was
out with injuries much of last year,
but is bidding for All-American hon-
ors this fall. He punts, passes, runs,
plays safety on defense; blocks, and
place kicks.
Switzer will probably start at quar-
ter with Goldblas at right half and
Frederick at full. Switzer and Fer-
raro handle the passing which will
be ,A feature of the attack Dobie has
planned to use against the much
heavier Wolverine outfit.
Won Last Game
4ichigan won the last game with
tie Big Rels back in 1917 by a score
of ,42 to 0. But the easterners are
bne of the few teams that hold an
all-time margin of the "Champions
pf the West," having won 11 out of
the 15 games phayed thus far.
Gil Dobie, the most pessimistic
teller 'df Bear stories among the first
Tank coaches today, has been moan-
ing for two weeks about how light his
team is, and how the heavy Wol-
verines will mop up the Stadium sod
Witp them. If it is a dry day, with
. firnm fast footing underneath,
'Gloomy" Gil will probably throw a
sight, fast combination onto the field
in the hope that they will run circles
nd Kipke's charges.
During the last 31 years Dobie has
coached football teams at North Da-
kota A. C., University of Washing-
ton and Cornell. In that time his
teams have won 207 games while
losing only 22-"Gloomy" says it will
surely be 23 after tomorrow, but
that's how he got his name.
News that Michigan has a couple
of end running fools as well as a
strong passing attack has filtered
through to Ithaca and Dobie spent
his last three drill sessions at home
in perfecting a defense against these
two threats.
Use Warner System
The Eastern team uses the Warner.
system of offense, which features the
wing back formations. They pass
or run from double and single wing
back or tandem formations, furnish-
ing a type of play that is hard for
the defensive team to diagnose be-
fore the play starts.
Dobie does not stress the use of
passes to the exclusion of strong run-
ning plays, feeling that an attack,
to be strong, must be varied enough
to keep the defensive team spread
enough to cover passes, but also close
enough to back up the line on run-
ning plays.
The double wing back style gives
the two backs on the wings a fine
chance to crack the opposing tackle,
consequently Dobie aims most of his
line plays at the tackles,
Foxx Selected
As Best Player
I A. L. Circuit
Receives Most V aIU abI c
Man Award On Second
Successive Occasion
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-)-James
Emory Foxx, the home run king of
the major leagues, was named by the
baseball experts today as the Amer-
ican league's "most valuable player"
for the second successive year.
Only two other stars in either lea-
gue have ever gained this extraor-
dinary distinction. Walter Johnson,
when he was the "Big Train" of
Washington's pitching staff, captur-
ed the award in 1913 and repeated
in 1924, the year he helped the Sen-
ators win their first world series.
Rogcrs Hornsby won the National
league "most valuable player" con-
test in 1925 and repeated in 1929.
Selected By Writers
Foxx was selected for top honors
again by a committee representing
the baseball Writers' association of
""' America, of which
Denman Thomp-
son of the Wash-
ington Star acted
. _> as chairman.
%g ~The sl1u gg in g
first baseman of
the Athletics was
.'given a brisk run
in the voting by
:two. Washington
vashington rivals, Manager Joe
Cronin and Heinie Manush, but
emerged with a clean-cut margin.
Decisive factors in favor of Foxx
were that, in addition to retaining
the home run crown, he led all the
American league hitters with an un-
official mark of .256 and topped the
clouters of both big leagues in runs
batted in, with 159.
Cronin Comes Second
In the opinion of Cronin, his clos-
est rival and a former winner of the
award, Foxx is "the greatest all-
around" ball player in the game to-
day.
Ballots were cast by eight mem-
bers of the writers' committee, each
listing 10 players in the order of
preference. Points were awarded on
the basis of 10 for the first place, 9
for second, and so on.
Foxx was named the No. 1 star
by four experts and totalled 74
points out of a possible maximum of
80. He was rated second by three
writers and fourth by one. Cronin
and Manush each received two first
place nominations, collecting 62 and
54 points respectively.
Gehrig Wins Place
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, Lefty
Grove of the Athletics and Charley
Gehringer of the Tigers were rank-
ed fourth, fifth and sixth. For the
first time since 1927, Babe Ruth did
not receive a vote or so much as hon-
orable mention.
The selection of Foxx marks the
fourth time in six years that a mem-
ber of the Athletics has been chosen
for the American league honor.
Micken Cochran in 1928 and Bob
Grove in 1931 preceded the first
baseman in winning recognition as
the most valuable.
Rumors State Band
May 'Goose Step'
Spectators at the Michigan-Cor-
nell game tomorrow may find it
necessary to pinch themselves to
find out if they are in Ann Arbor
or have accidently taken a trip to
Gcrmany instead. This dilemma
will be caused by the Varsity band
as it is reliably reported that they
will add the ''goose step'' to their
repertoire of formations. It is also
claimed that Donald A. Strouse,1
drum major, can bring his under-
pining up parallel w it h the
ground, without bending his body,
while imitating the G e r m a n
army.
Two Games ill Be Played In
Conference Schedule Saturday
Will Require Health
Cards For Sports
All students planning to compete
in intra-mural or inter-fraternity
sports or sports of any description
will be required to have health cards
again this year. They can be secur-
ed at the Health Service after a brief
examination. Students who had the
earlier examination already have
their cards.
The purpose of the health card re-
quirement is to prevent students
with heart-trouble, hernia, and tife
like, from having any serious com-
Plications.
The Big Ten schedule gets under
way in earnest Saturday as Purdue
meets Minnesota a n d Wisconsin
clashes with Illinois.
Purdue, the team that is generally
favored throughout the Middle West
to win the Big Ten title was pretty
well shaken up by the unexpectedly
stiff opposition offered them by Ohio
University. This week, however it
is expected to take Minnesota very
handily. Doc Spear's Wisconsin Bad-
gers are heading for the top this year
and Illinois will have to go plenty to
defeat them. Another game that
may well have bearing on the cham-
pionship struggle is the setto be-
tween Notre Dame and Indiana who
last week held the highly favored
Minnesota team to a 6-6 tie. Notre
Dame was also tied by Kansas, but
that was thought to be more or less
of a mistake. They are expected to
find themselves this week.
Kansas State Meets Missouri
In the Big Six, Bo McMillen's
Kansas State outfit looks to be much
too strong for their Missouri rivals.
Nebraska, after walloping Texas very
soundly last week will tangle with
Iowa State.
In the East, a great deal of at-
tention has been focused upon the
Pittsburgh-Navy game. The Panth-
ers have two games tucked away un-
der their belt and are once more re-
garded as one of the three best
teams in the East. Navy has climb-
ed out of the doldrums this year and
looked a great deal better downing
Mercer and William and Mary in
early season engagements than they
have in a very long time. Backing up
this star lead, Yale meets and will
probably beat Washington and Lee.
West Virginia, after upseting N.Y.U.
in New York, returns to the Big City
and will attempt to repeat its prev-
ious' performance against Jim Crow-
ley's Fordham Ram. Ohio Wesleyan-
Syracuse, Bucknell-Villanova, and
Rutgers-Colgate are the other out-
standing games on the Eastern
schedule.
Auburn To Get Real Test
Auburn gained a national reputa-
tion last year as a member of the
now disbanded Southern Conference.
It gets its first real test as a member
of t h e Southeastern. Conference
when Georgia Tech comes down to
meet the Plainsmen. The Auburn
team shows signs of deterioration
while the Yellow Jackets are up and
coming. Take pick.

Plans For Wolverine Cheering
Section Announced By Roberts
ML
The University of Michigan cheer-
ing section gives promise this year
of coming up to the standard set by
its team, according to Thomas B.
Roberts, Jr., '34, Head Cheerleader.
"We are trying to put on an im-
proved and coloful program with a
more systematic card system," Tom
reported, "and in order to do so, it
is necessary for us to have the co-
operation of all students in learning
directions and cheers.
The cheering section for the Cor-
nell game will consist of a broad band
running across the middle of sec-
tions 22, 23, 24, and one half of 25,
and will seat 1536 students. The
colored cards, which were made pos-
sible by Goldman Brothers, will be
tacked to the seats before the game.
The first stunt will ae the spelling
of the symbol, M-I-C-H, in yellow
letters with a blue background. At
the signal, "Over," everyone will turn
his card over so that the opposite
color is showing to the field, thus
presenting the same formation in
blue letters with a yellow back-
ground.

Boilermaker Coach
Uses Baseball Plan
LAFAYETTE, Ind. Oct. 12.-(P)-
An old trick of baseball psychology
has been made over by Coach Noble
Kizer to apply to his Purdue univer-
sity footballers this fall.
He has ordered unusually light-
weight game uniforms for the Boiler-
makers, weighing lass t h a n 10
pounds including shoes and head-
gears. But the practice parapherna-
lia is above average weight.
Part of the theory is the same as
that of a baseball player swinging
two bats just before taking his turn
at the plate. After bearing up under
heavy uniforms all week the Old
Gold and Black gridders may feel
like flying when accoutred in their
balloon-silk panties on a Saturday
afternoon.
DOBIE'S WISH REALIZED
Ever since Gil Dobie played end at
Minnesota in his college days, he has
nourished the wish to lead a team
against a Big Ten school. The Mich-
igan game Saturday, will be the
answer to his desire.
