THE MICHIGAN DAILY PLAY& BY-PLAY -By AL NEWMAN- The following is the list of major contests in the nation today with winners as chosen by the five junior members of the sports staff. The name of the team picked to win ap- pears with the number of votes out of a possible five: Michigan (5) vs. Illinois Wisconsin vs. Chicago (4) Purdue (5) vs. Carnegie Tech Centre vs. Pittsburgh (5) Princeton (5) vs. Brown Duke (4) vs. Auburn Cornell vs. Columbia (5) California (5) vs. U. C. L. A. Army (5) vs. Coe Colgate (5) vs. Tulane Dartmouth (5) vs. Yale Detroit vs. Holy Cross (4) Temple (5) vs. Drake W & J'vs. Duquesne (5) Georgia (5) vs. Florida St. Mary's vs. Fordham (5) Tennessee (5) vs. G. Washington Georgia Tech (5) vs. Vanderbilt Lehigh vs. Harvard (5) 0. S. U. (5) vs. Indiana Iowa (5) vs. Iowa State M. S. C. (5) vs. Kansas State Lafayette (3) vs. Penn Minnesota (41/2) vs. Northwestern Notre Dame (5) vs. Navy Penn. State (4) vs. Syracuse Texas (3) vs. So. Methodist Stanford (5) vs. Olympic Club Marquette (3) vs. W. Va. I do not think that the Consensus this week will be as accurate as last week's, which was .815 right. Don Bird was high in the individual to- tals with .821, which is pretty good picking on a flock of mid-season games. Incidentally, Mr. Bird also called the tie last week between Harvard and Dartmouth, which entitles him to wear the Swami's turban for at least two weeks. This week Art Car- stens is calling Northwestern-Min- nesota a tie, but I very seriously doubt whether he will be as success- ful. My own personal reaction to the Consensus this week is that it does not correctly reflect the strengths of the teams. For instance, it strikes me that, picking Dartmouth over Yale by five votes to none is rather foolish inasmuch as Dartmouth has not defeated Yale in years. Person- ally, I would pick Yale, but I am not empowered to say anything about it in :the Consensus. I should also pick W & J over Duquesne, and ac- cord St. Mary's a good chance to beat Fordham's Rams. Besides that, I think that West Virginia will beat Marquette. . . ah well, maybe I'm wrong. Eastern Grids Feature Three Battles Today Today, in the mid-season of foot- ball, finds comparative quiet reign- ing on the Eastern battlefront. Only three games are outstanding, Navy- Notre Dame, Yale-Dartmouth, and Fordham-St. Mary's, and all of them are billed as thrillers. Heretofore a game between Navy and Notre Dame would not have brought much comment, other than a caustic remark about the Irish scheduling such a set-up for mid- season. This year the South Benders have something to worry about, for they have been trampled under the feet of the Pitt Panthers, tied by a light Kansas team, and barely eked out a win over Indiana in a hard battle. Seek First Rambler Defeat Navy is about in the same position, but the Middies are still rejoicing over their 13 to 0 slaughter of Penn last week, and besides, they scent their first victory over the Ramblers. Out of the six-game series between the two schools, Navy has lost four by huge scores, but in the last two came a bit closer to stopping the Irish. Notre Dame is favored by sports writers, but Navy is out for blood. Michigan Game Heads Schedule For Conference Evanston Scene Of Game Between Minnesota And Northwestern Wisconsin At Chicago Mid-Season Standings Are Passes As Race.Begins To Narrow Down The eyes of the Big Ten football world are on the Sovereign State of Illinois today with three conference games scheduled within its bounds. Besides the Michigan-Illinois game at Champaign, Northwestern enter- tains Minnesota's Gophers at Dyche Stadium, Evanston, and Wisconsin comes in to do battle with Chicago at Stagg Field. Though the Wolverine-Sucker battle brings together two teams un- defeated in Conference play this year, experts are looking to the North- western-Gopher tilt to furnish the toughest battle of the day. A green Wildcat team has been coming along fast since it was tied by Indiana in their first Big Ten game. They outplayed Ohio State last week but lost the game on two bad breaks. Sophs Are Gopher Pride Minnesota's sophomore aggregation is undoubtedly strong and will be fa- vored over Hanley's proteges, but Michigan supporters regard the game as an indicator of what is to come for Kipke's Wolverines. Minnesota's aggregation feels that it is still in the running for the Conference crown, anticipating a win over Michigan in two weeks. The Gopher backfield of Lund, Al- phonse, Seidel and Beise is touted a~s the best at the northern school in nany seasons, but the heavy forward wall must be given the credit for shaking the stellar backs into the open for their scintillating dashes. Coach Bierman took 35 husky Gophers with him when he boarded the train for Chicago Thursday eve- ning., Ticket sales indicate that at least 5,000 Swedish rooters will be in the Dyche Field stands this after- noon. Buckeyes Favored In the only conference game out- side of Illinois, Ohio State's raging Buckeyes are favored to crush In- diana on the former's home grid. Willaman's men came back last week to take a thriller from Northwestern and are rated good enough to run wild over a comparatively weak Hoo- sier outfit. "The battle of the underdogs" might be the title tacked to the Chi- cago-Wisconsin game today. Neither team has won a Conference struggle, but experts in the Windy City for the game, feel that the Maroons are gaining poise under Clark Shaugh- nessy's tutelage and will win today's game. The remaining two Conference teams go afield for today's opposition. Those who feel that the Big Ten is the toughest league in the coun- try this year welcome the Purdue- Carnegie Tech game as further proof of that belief. The fact that Carnegie has an impressive record that in- cludes a win over Notre Dame does not scare critics who give Purdue the edge. Coach Noble Kizer has been worried by a multitude of minor in- juriesdduring the week, but thinks that his whole first team will be in shape to start today. The Boiler- maker offense is polished to a knife edge to pierce a Carnegie Tech de- fense that has held opponents score- less thus far this season. An ancient intra-state rivalry will keep Iowa's team occupied this after- noon. Ossie Solem's eleven takes on Iowa State in a game that is con- ceded to the Conference team if they can stop a stubborn State pass- ing attack. Solem's starting quartette of backs, Laws, Fisher, Hoover, and Crayne are all raring to go, and plan to polish up something nice for Mich- igan next week. HALAS SCOUTS FOR BEARS Walter Halas, former baseball and basketball coach at Notre Dame and a brother of Owner-Coach George Halas of the Chicago Bears, does much scouting for the pro eleven. At the present time, the Bears are leading their professional league.- Fay Proves Worth As Newman's Successor Spartans, Titans Face Strong Foes In Today's Tilts Holy Cross Is Undefeated, Thus Far; Kansas State Has Impressive Record Two games of national import- ance will be held in Michigan today with Michigan State meeting Kansas State at East Lansing and the Uni- versity of Detroit matching attacks and defenses with Holy Cross at De- troit. Both of these contests should be bitterly contested from the opening whistle to the final gun. The Cru- saders have one of the finest teams in the East while the Western Ag- gies rank with the best grid outfits in the sector. Neither of the Mich- igan teams, although neither can show an unsullied record, can be classed as a set-up for any machine in the country. Crusaders Have Clean Slate The U. of D.-Holy Cross contest looms as one of the most important games of the day. The Crusaders have not been defeated to date, while piling up 113 points to 21 for the opposition in five games. The titans, with one defeat at the hands of Du- quesne, have scored 93 points to 20. At East Lansing there will be an- other great intersectional battle be- tween two strong teams. Kansas State, with only one defeat in five games, has the second best team in the Big Six. Their lone defeat came at the hands of Nebraska, the ac- knowledged class of the league. Last week, the Aggies beat Kansas Uni- versity, the team that tied Notre Dame earlier in the season. The Spartans also can point to only one defeat in five games - at the hands of Michigan. Last Saturday, State made their bid for national promi- nence by crushing Syracuse, 27-3. Nebraska Defends Title At Columbus, Mo., the Cornhusk- ers of Nebraska will be trying to keep their slate clean and maintain their leadership of the Big Six against Missouri. Missouri has won only one game so far this season and does not have the man-power to cope with Nebraska. Frank Carideo, former all-American quarterback at Notre Dame, has failed to win a single major game during his first two years as head coach of the University of Missouri. Trojans Rest As Stanford PlaysOlympics Although the two outstanding elev- ens of the West coast, Southern Cal- ifornia and Oregon State, take a rest today, the Far West is offering an interesting football card. Stanford is running into a tartar when it meets the Olympic Club. The Olympics have lost several battles but always manage to put up a strong fight with the Palo Alto boys. Last year, Stanford barely eked out a 6 to 0 victory and this year will find the Olympic team more anxious for revenge. Bears Meet U. C. L. A.- California will take on the hard U. C. L. A. gridders. The Bears still remain one of the hardest teams on] the Coast despite the 6 to 3 set- back they suffered last week at the hands of the Trojans. The fact that the Los Angeles eleven were upset last week by Oregon will make them work all the harder for victory though statistics only give them an outside chance. An interesting intersectional tussle at Santa Clara will hold some of the spotlight when Rice comes west to battle Santa Clara University. Both teams are evenly matched and the game is considered to be a toss-up. CAMPUS CABS A ~ ADAY DIAL and NIGHT Owned and Operated By Former Michigan Students .

M -Associated Press Photo Michigan's title-bent eleven is augmented in its traditional system of a "pass, punt, and prayer" by its captain, Stan Fay. Fay has had the reputation of a great blocking halfback since his debut on the Ann Arbor gridiron, and is this year winning a name for himself as a powerful runner as well. He is at the quarterback post vacated by Harry Newman this fall. Harrier Squad To Encounter Strong M. S. N. C. Team Today '1 THE MICHIGAN DAILY for By KENNETH PARKER Coach Ken Doherty takes a squad of seven men to Ypsilanti this mor- ning to engage the M. S. N. C. har- rier squad at 11:30 a. m. in a three and three-quarter mile grind, but he does so with about the same con- fidence that a man goes after a ghost in a very dark room. In other words Mr. Doherty doesn't know exactly what his boys will be required to face in the way of competition. Mr. Doherty should have a rather good idea of the potentialities of his foe, for he has heard it noised around that the Ypsi squad finished second in the N. A. U. meet in Chicago last Saturday. And he also has heard about Captain Karl Kahler, the Nor- mal flash who has just cracked the campus two-mile run record with the time of 10:14.36. And he also knows that Ypsi harrier teams are tradi- tionally strong under the develop- ment of Coach Lloyd Olds. But Mr. Doherty holds a peculiar CoaCI' OfGiants Picks Wolverines philosophical position. He is an ag- nostic, with the consequent aroma of optimism and pessimism. He says that -the Ypsi runners won the N. A. U. with the aid of several un- known; but probably brilliant, fresh- men. Michigan will not have to deal with the freshmen. Karl Kahler is good, but there is only one of him. Besides, times mean nothing. It de- pends upon the distance and condi- tion of the course. Kahler's record is for two miles only. Doherty does- n't know anything.about Bellman, Bob Dunn, Harold Ory, Jack Lyons, and Scotty Adames, the boys who will make up the rest of the Normal squad, but he has his suspicions. Wolverines Present Same Lines For the Wolverines, the same line- up that faced State last week will compose the squad: Smith, the rather brilliant senior who has been out- running his .teammates consistently and who finished first among them at Lansing; Rod Howell, who finished sixth at State after having recently recovered from an illness; Captain Bob Ostrander, who was ace man last year, but who has not been up to form as yet this year, finishing ninth last Saturday; Jack Childs, who came in eleventh; Paul Gorman, John Clarke, and Dick McManus. Doherty will depend on Smith, Howell, Ostrander, and Childs to keep the Wolverine score down. There is no certainty that any one of them will cross the finish line be- fore the other. There may be a change of form in Howell and Os- trander. The course, which starts at Alumni Field, will be a quarter of a mile longer than the one at State and will present different handicaps. Mr. Doherty hoped yesterday that he might have the same brisk kind of weather today. Tournaments Show Johnston Material AN OFFICIAL RECORD OF CAMPUS ACTIVI TY -~-- VICTORY BALL NEXT FRIDAY in the LEAGUE BALLROOM oil $4.25 MAILED for rg U, As Nation's Best Inter-Coast Battle Up at New York a strong St. Mary's outfit is waiting, after trav- elling across the country, to put the damper on what is probably the strongest eastern team, Fordham. Suffice it to point out that these teams represent the best of the twol seacoasts and that one of them will have been thrown out of the na- tional spotlight by tonight. Coach Cadigan of the Gaels of the West claims victory for his boys, but at the same time "Sleepy Jim" Crowley assures the public that the Rams will not let the East down to de- feat. The third big game on eastern gridirons sees the Dartmouth Raiders invade the Yale bowl at New Lon- don in a determined effort to call the jinx the Yale series has always pro- vided for them. Dartmouth has never defeated Yale in the Eli camp and this is the yea~r they p_ tothe home NEW YORK, Nov. 3.--P)-College football still peers down its nose at the professional, game, despite the rising popularity of the sport and the annual rush of the headliners from campus to commercial gridirons. Such a feeling, however, isn't mu- tual. "I've seen some pretty good college football teams," says Steve Owen, coach of the Giants in the National League, "but for all-around power and class I'll take Michigan." Bernard - All-American "And there's a center out there, one Charles Bernard, who does about everything you can ask of a great ball player. He passes perfectly, stops everything in sight, has a fine of- fensive charge, and he's always knocking down passes. If that boy isn't an All-American, then there isn't any." Owen, a tackle at Phillips Univer- sity in Enid, Okla., in his college days, then a star with the- Giants before he took over the coaching reins three years ago, sees consider- able college football each year. He usually takes his team along. The pros play Sundays; they travel a lot which makes it nice. Fordham Rates Second "Next to Michigan is Fordham, I think," says Owen. "That's a big, tough club. But Michigan has the better reserves, a trifle more power. Beating Ohio State, they looked a good touchdown better than Ford- ham did against Alabama. College football, Owen thinks, is doing itself a great deal of harm by constant changing of rules. The pros never did accept the idea of letting fumbles and blocked kicks lay dead. They pick them up and run until -Ili am., {a 1. d THIS IS OVERCOAT WEEK non-scouting agreement between the teams adds color to the fray as well. The other games that might be called interesting for the fans today include Syracuse at Penn State, Co- lumbia at Cornell, Brown at Prince- ton, and Lehigh at Harvard. Both Winners Last Week Penn State downed Lehigh, 33 to 0, and Syracuse took a beating from Michigan State, 27 to 3. Whatever this may mean, several experts have doped it that Penn State will best the Orange and that the Harvard Crimson will "put the slug" on Le- high. Columbia took Penn State 33 to 0 and Cornell bowed to both Mich- 1 0yan and I f rn 1111 0 Twpvr in. Since the beginning of the semes- ter, Coach Johnstone has conducted, a series of tennis tournaments in order to obtain first hand informa- tion on the 1934 edition of the Var- sity tennis-team. Candidates for the Varsity have been playing two matches a week in a prolonged set of about twenty-five. The men with the greatest per- centage of victories will form the nucleus of the first practice squad. In addition, to other tourneys, the In- vitational, and the All-Campus are being run off. Invitational Plays 35 Thirty-five men came out for the Invitational at the request of Coach Johnstone. The tournament is ready for the final stage now. Clint San- dusky, captain of the Varsity, en- tered the finals by virtue of his win over Mort Friedman.
