1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY --Imwmm PLAY & BY-PLAY -By AL NEWMAN Here's Mike Again .. . * * * LETTERS OF A GANGSTER in1 college to his lady-friend in the big, Wicked City: Dear Mabel: I am filled with tangled emotions,1 which means that I do not know whether to stand on my head, dance, or go out and hang the slug on some semaphore or what. I will tell you all about it. Last night I am studying on chem- istry so that I will make no more bombs which will blow the members of our mob into kingdom come like the one which distributes Nick the Greek over various parts of the pan- orama (that is a word which means scenery Mabel. It's very high-class) when in comes a gang of lugs who say they are semaphores and tell me I am a fresh guy or something like that. Well, this mob takes me out of the house and down to the river and dumps mee in. I swim and swim, fig- uring that some other gang in the city catch wise to the fact that I am down here learning about chemistry and decide to bump me off. So I swim for dear life expecting at any moment to furnish a nice soft resting place for a .44 slug when I finally can get no further and I ex- pect to sink forever beneath the Hu- ron river's mighty waves. So I start to sink & find that I am standing on bottom! It seems that it is al- ways a joke a lot of fun for mem- bers of the 2 lower classes here to treat each other like that. It is very lucky indeed for these guys that I do not have my gat along or some of them by this time will be playing harps along with Nick the Greek, and I imagine that Nik is a very bad harp player just a- ful to listen to. That is one of my tangled emo- tions and is why I feel like putting the sock on some Semaphore, which is the other class name. * * * * THE OTHER EMOTIONS all con- nect up with, this football racket. The Ohio States are coming down this week-end and Ihear they are so rough & tough that they add up their score with a machine. The nickname of the Ohio States is the Blackeyes or something like that. Well the Blackeyes and the Michi- gans are not very good friends ever since the Michigans go down to dedi- cate the Blackeyes new stadium which is where they play football, and, iby a large. score.. I may as well explain Mabel that Independent Team Organization Begun As a result of a meeting held Mon- day evening involving the managers of the independent intra-mural teams, a plan is underway whereby the groups will bp established on a permanent basis and will operate un- der the same name from year to year with the members that graduate be- ing replaced by new men. . It is hoped that by so organizing, the interest of the team members will be sustained and rivalries built up that will lead to keener competition. A meeting will be held Friday at 4 o'clock in the big Intra-Mural gym; all independents are urged to attend because at this time further plans will be made for the organization of teams. beating the team whose stadium you are dedicating is considered very bad manners like bumping a guy off without telling him you are going to bump him off beforehand. Natur- ally the Ohio States resent this more than somewhat. So they come up here and put the bite on the Michigans something fierce two years ago, and that is the last game up to now which the Mich- igans lose. Then the Michigans go down to Columbus (the gem of the ocean) last year and beat the Blackeyes pretty bad. But now they are rough & tough again, and are all ready to put the slug on the Michigans and I fear that they have a good chance to do same. They too are singing "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wol- verines" all the time & dreaming of putting the bite on us down here very bad indeed. In fact, I understand that they plan on taking a few of the bldgs. here back with them as a souvenir if they win. Just between you and I Mabel I hope they take the Chem- istry bldg. with them if they do and also my prof with it because I do not like that guy worse and worse all the time. It might also be a good way of getting rid of Newberry Auditori- um which they have been trying to figure what to do with for years. Give my regards to the Boss & tell him that I am picking up a lot of culture & refinement. Yrs. Mike ED. NOTE: I hear that Mike's first letter of two weeks ago has started something. The Maize and Blue are being called the "Big, Bad Wolverines" all over the nation now, and the Ohio State band is actually rumored to be prac- ticing the song, "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf," to be rendered in the Stadium Saturday. I might recommend that the Fight- ing Hundred start learning "Night And Day, You Are the One" as an answer ... Band To Honor Farrell In Formations At Game The Varsity Band Saturday will do its part toward honoring the memory of Stephen "Steve" Far- rell, veteran 'trainer who for 17 years looked after the welfare of Michigan teams. Funeral services are to be held today for Farrell, who dropped dead Tuesday on the University Golf Course. The first formation of the band between halves of the Ohio State- Michigan game Saturday will be "STEVE," accompanied by suita- ble music, it was announced late yesterday by Lieut. R. R. Cour- sey, drillmaster. 1I Dukeo Public Barred From All O.S.U. Practice Drills Team Will Practice In The Stadium Here Friday; Willaman Pessimistic Ohio State's band of determined gridders ran through their last prac- tice on the home field yesterday afternoon, continuing their policy of drilling behind closed doors. Even newspapermen, who had previously enjoyed the confidence of Coach Sam Willaman, were barred from the field where Willaman worked oh special plays and defense for the Michigan game Saturday. The Buckeyes will leave Columbus late today for Dearborn where their Michigan headquarters are located. They will go through a short drill in Michigan's Stadium Friday afternoon and then return to Dearborn until shortly before game time Saturday. Willaman Fears Running Coach Willaman, in discussing Ohio's chances against the Wolver- ines, was not too optimistic. "We couldn't beat them last year when they had no running attack, and now-they have one and one that clicks, too. That makes them just twice as dangerous. "Reports about Michigan lacking a forward pass attack are so much bunk," he said. "Kipke hasn't anyone fooled about not having a passer this year. It would look kind of foolish for a team that has been winning so many games in the air to abandon that style for a running attack. It isn't so much the running attack that has me wor- ried, it's those passes." ,State's Booting Inferior Have we a punter who can match Regeczi?" he asked. "Rush him? Who's going, to rush through that Michigan line? It's every bit as good as ours." Jack Blott, Wolverine coach who has been scouting the Buckeyes, had a different story to tell, however. "Ohio is the best looking football team I've seen for these many years," Jack said. "You can mark it down that it's the roughest going gang of Buckeyes that ever came up this way from Ohio insofar as my memory serves. I fear we're due for a licking."

Secret Session For Grid Squad HeldYesterday Speculations Fly Concern- ing Kipke's Moves To Keep Ohio Guessing Behind locked doors, Michig'an's' football squad and Coach Kipke held a mysteriously secret practice yester- day afternoon. For the first time in four years everyone was barred from the practice session, including news- paper men. It is supposed that Kipke gave his team some new plays, both on attack and defense that he would not trust to the most loyal Wolverine support- ers. Coach Sam Willaman of 9hio State said Wednesday that Kipke couldn't fool people into believing that Michigan would give up its here- tofore successful passing plays for a concentrated ground attack. So it appears that Willaman will drill his squad on aerial defense against Mich- igan before he worries about ground offense. No Scrimmage This Week Nothing could be learned about the practice yesterday but the dopesters have it figured that the Coach work- ed the squad on running through' plays, dummy scrimmage, and block- ing. Kipke is not putting the team through scrimmage this week as he will not risk injuries before his most important game of the season. A capacity crowd for the stadium is anticipated Saturday as it was learned yesterday unofficially that the extra bleacher seats will be erec- ed for the game. Both ticket offices in Detroit, at the Book-Cadillac and the Wabash station, ran out of tick- ets early yesterday morning and ap- plied for 2,000 more. The reserved seats are now selling in the last sec- tion next to the general admission seats, which has not happened this early in the week in several seasons. Army And Illini Battle Saturday CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Oct. 18.-Back in its oldtime place in the sun of the, football world, by virtue of its smashing victory over a powerful Wisconsin team, Illinois girds itself for the move to Cleveland for its big intersectional battle withthe hard-hitting and fast-running Army outfit. No false confidence prevails in the Ililnois camp, which pictures the game as a close one between two teams which appear to be evenly- matched in ability and experience. The Illinois squad which will face Army in Cleveland's immense sta- dium will be practically the same that halted the powerful attack of Wiscon- sin and thrice crossed the Badger goal. They Stopped Cagle Memories of previous close and exciting struggles with the Cadets inspire interest in this intersectional battle. It was'in 1929 that "Red" Cagle led one of the greatest Army teams in history to the Illinois sta- dium where the Illini triumphed, 17 to 7, in a spectacular game before a packed stadium of 70,000 spectators. Army retaliated in the Yankee sta- dium in New York before another huge crowd in 1930, winning 13-0. The Army-Illinois series, which will be concluded in the Illinois stadium next year, will mark the last meet- ing of West Point and Big Ten teams unless the Big Ten faculty board re- verses its decision that western con- ference teams may not play Army. Cleveland Sees \ -Assopiated Press Photo Buzz Wetzel and Carl Cramer are veteran backfield men operating behind Ohio's 200-plus pound line, Cramer at quarter and Wetzel at fullback. Chuck Bernard, Michigan's potential All-American, will work in the secondary defense against them. Cross Country Team Will Meet Western State Here Saturday, The lid will be pried off the cross- country schedule Saturday, October 21, at 10 a. m. when Michigan plays host to the harriers of Western State Normal.
