"Setup" - "Upset" . .
* * *
OVERCONFIDENCE IS A NIGHT-
MAR' faced by every coach of
a successful team. As victory after
victory drops down into the sched-
ule and the general attitude of the
student body is that their football
outfit is invincible, the coach only
has one anore thing to worry about.
Close followers of the gridiron
sport will ,tell you that it is nearly
as easy on the football field to turn
"setup" into "upset"as it is on pa-
per, and in the latter case it re-
quires merely the transposition of
two letters. There's a lot of psy-
chology in football.
Take the case of Wisconsin and
Illinois Saturday. Wisconsin entered
the Conference season doped by the
experts as a team with a good chance
to come through. And just imagine
their surprise and chagrin last Sat-
urday, when the Illini crashed
through and mopped up the sod with
them at 21-0.
Or if you can't imagine it, just
figure how your would feel if you
went up to a door, wiped your feet
on the doormat and it suddenly
sprouted a head equipped with very
sharp teeth and bit you in the leg.
That's how Wisconsin felt. All of
which, goes to show that Illinois is
no longer a Conference doormat.
N FACT, every Saturday brings
out results in the Big Ten which
seem to make the Wolverines' chanc-
es of coming through worse. First,
Iowa showed power in beating North-
western in the initial "upset "(inci-
dentally the 'first conference game
scheduled.)
Then Minnesota tied Purdue, the
top-heavy favorite to win titular
honors, and Michigan must face Min-
nesota later. Now Illinois, a team
also on the Wolverine schedule, turns
around and crushes Wisconsin, re-
puted to be a good team. Incidental-
ly, after the Illini play Army this
Saturday, Zuppke has an open date
in which to personally scout Michi-
gan and give his players a rest.
Michigan, on the other hand, must
play Ohio State, a most deadly con-
ference foe of the Wolverines. Then
comes a contest down in Chicago
against the Maroons who are as yet
an unknown quantity, but bet on
as a strong one.
After that, the Illini will be all
ready and waiting for the Wolver-
ines down in their stronghold. Per-
sonally, I do not envy Mr. Kipke at
- this time. Uneasy lies the head
which wears the cap marked "Head
Coach."
Bachman Drills
State To Score
Early In Game
EAST LANSING, Oct. 17.-()-
Charley Bachman began building up
a power offense at Michigan State
today which he hopes will take Mar-
quette on the jump Saturday and
definitely shake the Spartans of their
"second half" tendencies.
With the Golden Avalanche a tra-
ditionally tough team, Bachman real-
izes, that the lethargy State has
shown in the first half in its last two
games cannot be continued in Mil-
waukee.
x: "We've got to get the jump on
Marquette," Bachman said. "We can't
spot them a lead and then expect to
recover lost ground. Don't be fooled
by Marquette's two defeats. They're
going to be plenty tough when we
y.gpt there." -

Passes May Be
Important In
Wolves' Attack
Coach Kipke Drills Men
For Two Hours Perfect-
ing Aerial Game
Judging from yesterday's practice
session, fans at the Michigan-Ohio
State game Saturday may expect to
see passes play an important part in
the Wolverine attack. Coach Harry
Kipke drilled his proteges for nearly
two hours last night in perfecting an
aerial attack.
Bill Renner played the leading role
in the backfield and Willis Ward was
star performer on the receiving end.
The nationally famous track star
time and again made spectacular
catches a la Oosterbaan. Ted Petos-
key was conspicuous by his consistent
failure to lay hands on the pigskin.
After spending a short time in
signal drill on line plays, Coach
Kipke sent his reserves off to the Old
stadium to en-
gage in a regula-
tion scrimmage
with the frosh.
He t h e n com-
menced a Varsity
passing drill with
another p i c k e d
yearling t e a m
playing the de-
fensive role.
The attack
which the Var-
Ward sity threw at
their opponents ran the gamut of
possible pass plays. Forward passes
followed by double laterals, end
around laterals, triple laterals all
came in for use in the drill. It re-
minded one of the last half of the
Cornell game when the Kipkemen
practically overwhelmed the Big Reds
with their varied attack.
Followers of the Michigan system
were completely bewildered Saturday
by the spectacle of a Wolverine team
using passes after a big score had
been run up. Fans may expect any-
thing of the 1933 outfit. Kipke is evi-
dently out to give the crowd thrills.
Renner Needs Experience
But the real reason why Michigan
opened up on her passing attack Sat-
urday vas to give Bill Renner actual
experience under fire. He needs all
the game experience he can get.
Unbothered Renner is the equal of
Newman or Friedman, but in heat of
conflict he hasn't as yet learned to
function to the best advantage.
Where Newman could dodge, start
quick, stop, reverse, and evade the
oncoming opposing forwards until
the pass receivers got into the clear,
Renner cannot. Kipke feels that be-
fore the season is over these diffi-
culties will be ironed out. And Ren-
ner has another year.
But the immediate problem of the
Wolverine mentor is to get his team
past the crucial Ohio State game only
four days hence.
Against the Buck-
eyes, Michigan will
undergo the expe-
rience of playing
against a line ..
which outweighs
theirs by m a n y
pounds. The Ohio :;::.
forwards are bet-
ter known nation-
ally t h a n Mich-
igan's Bernard, E'NH,4o
Wistert and Petoskey. Their two
tackles are the best any team has in
the nation, and their guards are the
two best in the Big Ten
Their guards alone, Monahan and

Gailus, give them a big edge over
Michigan. Rosequist and Conrad will
cause plenty of trouble at the tackles.
It appears that the Wolverines have
little chance of gaining much ground
through such a line as this.
Reserves Used Freely
For this reason, Kipke is perfect-
ing his passing attack, as a means of
getting his star backs into the open
and on their way to possible scores.
In yesterday's practice Kipke used
Westover, Oliver and Renner as al-
ternates for Fay, Heston, Regeczi and
Everhardus. Chapman took turns at
relieving Ward and Petoskey of their
end duties. Jerry Ford was at Ber-
nard's place at center, due to the fact
that Chuck is bothered slightly by a
sore hahd which Kipke is taking no
chances with.
Singer, Beard, Borgman, Savage,
Austin, Kowalik and Jacobson also
saw duty in the line. Practice was
closed to public, as usual.;

Ohio To Open
Big Ten Season
With Michigan
Battle Is Expected To Be
Outstanding Game Of
Big Ten Schedule
Coach Sam Willaman believes that
:he Ohio State team he will bring
to Ann Arbor Saturday to be the
best he has turned out in five years
at the Columbus institution.
And that is a powerful statement
for Willaman coached teams have
defeated Michigan in the lasttwo
;meetings in the Michigan stadium.
In 1929 the Buckeyes nosed out the
Wolverines by a 7 to 0 score. Two
years later Willaman brought a sup-
posedly weak team to Ann Arbor to
trounce the championship-bound
Michigan team 20 to 7, in a game
that brings sad memories to many a
Michigan fan to this day.
Cramer To Try Comeback
Carl Cramer ran berserker as a
sophomore quarterback for the Bucks
that day and is making a great
comeback this year to become one
of the chief threats in a backfield
packd with power. Three other
members of that 1931 band will be
in the starting line-up Saturday-
all older and much wiser. Co-cap-
tains Sid Gillman, end, and Joe Gail-
us, guard, were at those positions in
1931, while Mickey Vuchinich, full-
back two years ago, will start at
center.
The wily Willaman started a re-
serve backfield against Vanderbilt
last Saturday, but will probably be
taking no chances on such a com-
bination this week. Cramer at quar-
ter and Wetzel at full are almost
sure starters, while Smith and Keefe
may get the call at the halves.
Conrad Injured
Left tackle Fred Conrad and cen-
ter Vuchinich both received injuries
of a rather serious nature in the
Vandy game but will probably be on
hand for the big, bad Wolverines.
Ted Rosequist, twin giant to Con-
rad, will be at the other tackle. Both
of these men are over six feet four
and weigh as much as Whitey Wis-
tert. Gailus and Monahan will very
likely be at the guards, with Pad-
low and Gillman playing the ends.
Vuchinich will play center.
This ponderous line would proba-
bly be rated above Michigan's at the
guards and tackles, but the Wolver-
ine ends and center are conceded to
have an edge.
Fisch Is Good Passer .
Frank Fisch, sophomore back from
Mansfield, O., has proven to be a
sensation as a passer in this fall's
games to date and will probably get
a chance if the Michigan defense
proves too strong for the Buckeye
running attack. Gillman and Pad-
tow are capable receivers.
Carnegie Tech
Is Hard Spot
For Ramblers
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-(P)-If you
play hunches, put your money on
Carnegie Tech to whip Notre Dame
at Pittsburgh this week.
The Ramblers couldn't beat How-
ard Harpster when he was playing a
great quarterback for the Tartans
in the days of 1926-28 and the super-
stitious might risk a gamble that the
jinx will hold good now that Harp-
ster is head coach at his alma mater.

Notre Dame played Carnegie Tech
twice in the three years Harpster was
varsity quarterback and took two
sound beatings. Howard booted field
goals from the 31 and 40-yard lines
in 1926 when Carnegie won, 19-0, and
scored a touchdown and kicked three
extra points when the Tartans crush-
ed the Ramblers, 27-7 in 1928. His
excellent field generalship likewise
was credited with playing a large
part in both victories.
Of course it will take more than a
hunch to beat Notre Dame Saturday
even though the Ramblers have been
disappointing in their first two starts
against Kansas and Indiana. But
Harpster, in his first year as head
coach at Carnegie, has built a sturdy
line and developed a sensational
passing attack that not long ago
routed Pop Warner's Temple Owls,
25-0.

By ROLAND L. MARTIN
The unexpected death of Steve
Farrell marks the termination of one
of the most varied and spectacular
careers that the history of track ac-
tivities has ever known.
"Steve Farrell was probably the
best coach of sprinters that track has
ever had", said Coach Charlie Hoyt
yesterday in reminiscing on the early
sprinting and coaching days of the
man he replaced as track coach of
the Wolverines. "Farrell has prob-
ably developed more great sprinters
than any other coach, among them
being Carl Johnson, Donald Cooper,
and Victor Leschinsky."
Had Name in Fire-Fighting
According to Hoyt, Farrell first be-
gan his sprinting career as a mem-
ber of the old hook-and-ladder bri-
gade. From this he began to run at
county fairs and soon made a name'
for himself as a runner in the sprints
and half-mile.
From amateur racing, Farrell en-
tered the professional ranks along
with such famous runners as Mike
Murphy, later trackrcoach at Yale,
Keene Fitzpatrick, former Michigan
trainer, Walter Christy, at one time
track c o a c h at California, Jock
Moakley, later Cornell's head coach,
and Johnny Mack. This group of
track stars travelled all over the
United States appearing in races and
later went to England where Farrell
won the Sheffield Handicap.
Was Member of Circus
Toward the end of his own running
days, Farrell became a member of
Barnum & Bailey circus. It was part
of his act to race against a horse
around the ring. -From a standing
start, the. man and the horse raced
around the ring with the human
runner usually the winner. In one
of these races, Farrell was tripped by
a dog, injuring his leg so that he was
unable to race again.
After this accident Mike Murphy
induced Farrell to come to Yale as
a trainer. A year or so later, Murphy
told Farrell that he had a new job
for him as track coach at Maine. His
record there was such that seven
years later he went to Ohio State
University as head coach of the
Buckeyes. In 1912, he came to Mich-
igan to take over the same duties
here.
Developed Fine Sprinters
During the 17 years that Farrell
was Michigan's "Grand Old Man" of
the cinder paths, he developed some
of the finest sprinters in the country.
In his first year here, the Wolverines
placed third in the Eastern Inter-
collegiate races and Haff, star quar-
ter-miler, ran the distance in 48:2.5
seconds, which is still a Michigan
record.
The following year, the Wolverines
again placed third in the Eastern
meet but in 1915 dropped to sixth


place. The war curbed track activi-
ties in 1917 and a year later, Mich-
igan entered the Western Conference
and participated in both the indoor
and outdoor meets, winning first
place in both.
Retired In 1930
From 1919 to 1930, when he re-
tired as head coach, the Farrell
coached track teams won three in-
door and five outdoor championships.
In the Olympic games of 1924, Far-
rell trained both DeHart Hubbard,
who took first place in the broad
jump, and Brooker, who finished
third in the pole vault.
In 1930, after winning the Confer-
ence outdoor championship for the
sixth time, Farrell turned over the
coaching reins to Hoyt, who had
been his assistant for seven years.
Since then, he has been inactive in
track, leaving the duties to other
capable hands. But his interest in
outdoor activities has remained and
it was while playing golf that he
passed away.
Fielding Yost, director of athletics
and a personal friend of Farrell, says
of the dead man: "Steve Farrell was
one of the outstanding men in his
profession for 35 or more years. He
came to Michigan in 1912,, having
coached at the University of Maine
and Ohio State. He was active here
in track for 17 or 18 years, retiring
three years ago. His service to the
University was outstanding. He pos-
sessed a keen mind and a ready wit
and had oceans of friends."

Steve Farrell's Death Ends A
Spectacular Career In Track

WOMEN'S

manent possession of the trophy.
Popularity of the new activity
seems to be assured as 20 teams have
signed up. Three houses, Alpha Ep-
silon Phi, Sorosis, and Gamma Phi
Beta, are sending three teams each
into the lists.
The first part of the series will
be played on the three outdoor vol-
leyball courts at Palmer Field. After
the bad weather sets in the teams
will play indoors at Barbour Gym,
