THE MICHIGAN DAILY pA Cornell To Hold Final Practice In Stadium Today Dobie And Squad Reach Here This Morning To Hold Workout Punting Is Featured Visitors' Playing Style Is Varied So As To Use - Passing, Running Attack By ART CARSTENS 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. I 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.

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. I WATCH OUR WINDOWS for the First Showing of THE NEW MAGAZ I NE Wol-ver-ine! Fight! Fight! Fight! Wol-ver-ine! Fight ! Fight !
