[JESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Kipke Drives Wolverines Through Long And Hard Practice PA Sess 1.~~ P PLAY & BY-PLAY i By AL NEWMANI Just A ,Prayer... . Blind Man's Buff .... * * * THE PUNT AND THE PASS WERE ALL GONE . . . blown away in the teeth of the howling gale that roared and eddied into the open end of the tremendous Illinois horseshoe stadium. Only the prayer remained and all through that final quarter, with a team of madly fighting Indians driven absolutely berserk with the idea of beating Michigan backing the Wol- verines up against their goal line time and again, it was just one prayer after another to the handful of freezing Maize and Blue die-hards who watched their team make last stand after last stand. Passes by Beynon, a superlative marksman, from passing plays which gave him all the time in the world to get the ball off, took the spheroid into Michigan territory time and again. But then the Illini would try running plays, and the line of blue would bend and buckle with the momentum of a charging Illinois back. But it seldom broke, and the ball would revert to Michigan. John Regeczi would fall back and kick into the screaming wind, and a punt which would have gone fifty or sixty yards on a still day would soar up to the height of the pressbox in the upper tier and come down after travelling twenty or thirty yards. Then it was up to the Indians to start all over again. And they did. With just three minutes to go, one of Regeczi's punts was downed on the Maize and Blue 44-yard line. Beynon shot a pass to Froschauer who was downed on the 31-yard line. After two passes which were barely incomplete,' a heave to Lindberg on the 14-yard line was completed with a scant two minutes to go. Froschauer hit the line for one yard, Beynon added another yard, and Lindberg slid off tackle for five. It was fourth down and three to go on about the six-yard line. Froschauer dove into the line and was stopped cold. Michigan rooters breathed a sigh of relief. There was just about one minute to go, and it was Michigan's ball. Fay hit the line twice . . . just absorbing time. Then Regeci punted from behind the goal line and the kick soared up to the thirty-yard line fifteen yards from the east sidelines. An Illinois back was under it, signalled for a fair catch and snagged it neatly. LESS THAN A MINUTE TO GO. . . about time for two plays. . . and everyone thought that the only chance Illinois had was for a successful pass. But no, Beynon consulted with 'the referee, who told the 1ichigan team that Illinois had elected to make a free kick, which is optional after a fair catch. So the entire Wolverine team had to stand ten yards back and watch this place-kick which meant the championship. Prayers of the Michigan team and rooters arose like incense over that silent stadium. I found myself raving insanely. Deliberately, Cummings tested the wind, pulled up handfuls0- Scrimmage By' Revamped Line FinallyClicks Illini Game Dubbed 'Off Day' By Gridders; Team Points For Iowa A desperate Michigan grid coach drove his humbled squad through a long hard scrimmage drill yesterday afternoon. Both coach and players worked overtime, and gave the im- pression that Iowa will not get off easy in the game here Saturday if hard work will prevent it. Kip's voice barked out in the crisp wind and sent a revamped line-up through the pass- ing, straight running, and deception plays that failed to crush the power- ful Illini last week. Although it is generally claimed that overconfidence nearly upset the team, the men themselves say they fully realized the power Illinois claimed, but that both their offense and defense just could not click. Carl Savage, who was seriously injured in the game, said he and the rest of the boys had one of those off days that every team must encounter during a season. Savage's Foot Fractured Latest reports from the Health Service state that Savage's injury is a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in r~r:::.. #"his left foot. The . fracture is such that it is expected to mend in about two weeks and permit Carl to play in the Northwest- ern game Nov. 25. "Zit" Tessmer r:"_ appeared in uni- S4V'AG ~ form for the first time since he received a similar frac- ture of his collar-bone. He will not work with the team for some time yet but expects to be in shape for the Minnesota game Nov. 18. The ten- tative regular team .yesterday con- sisted of Petoskey and Chapman, ends; Austin and Hildebrand, tackles; Ponto. and Borgmann, guards; and Bernard, center. Viergiver and Ward alternated in the -tackle and end po- sitions respectively, and Beard and Singer took their turns 'at the guard posts. Veterans Given Day Off In the backfield Bill Renner, Louis Westover, Russ Oliver, John Regeczi, Jack Heston, and Capt. Stan Pay saw action, and plenty of it. Herm Ever- hardus, Whitey Wistert, and Johnny Kowalik enjoyed a rest. This team directed practically the entire repertoire of Wolverine plays at the second team throughout the practice session. Herb Schmidt and Elias Soodik repeatedly broke up these plays in the early part of the drill.

All-Campus Event Won By Hutchinson A young fellow named Bill Hutch- inson is making a name for himself down around Ferry Field and vi- cinity. He has a business andhe's very good at it. That business is cross-country. Yesterday toward eve- ning, Bill crossed the finish line ahead of the other thirteen entries in the all-campus cross-country meet. That in itself would not be too aston- ishing becauseeveryone knows that 'Bill is a pretty fast boy over the hill and dale stretch. But the point is that Bill started the race with- a handicap of over four minutes and still managed to nose out Aikens who tallied a very close second. Wardell was also mixed up in that game fight the three men staged close to the fin- ish. He ended in third place. Pinker- ton led the next bunch of racers to the finish and gained fourth posi- tion. Hutchinson, by the way, has also garnered the freshman trophy. Both Coach Hoyt and Coach Do- herty expressed themselves as being more than pleased with the results.

The gale hissed and tore at the corner of the pressbox with prying fingers. The typewriter was stiff with cold. It was all up to Cummings. He had missed his first conversion of the sea- son in the first quarter. Would he miss again? The line was directly down wind. He came forward, and his toe met the ball. It swept upward . . . just the right height. It looked perfect from the pressbox. There was a roar from the stadium.. It was good. Pandemonium reigned in the press- box for at least seven seconds. We had lost. As a last desperate hope, I' looked at the referee. He was sweep- ing his hands back and forth below his waist. It wasn't good after all! The teams lined up again Michigan had a new lease on life. Fay, clutching the ball like the pre- cious thing it was, took it gingerly into the Illinois wall as the gun sounded. * *.* AND NOW ask me wherefor all this. Was not Michigan favored to win hands down? I 'came into Champaign Friday night. There was a "Beat Michigan"' campaign on. Everyone I talked to thought the Illini had a good chance. I got scared. Did they really expect to beat the Wolverines? I had just barely managed to reas- sure myself by the time I got out to the stadium. And then I noticed that awful cyclone. The game was dom- inated by the wind. The team going against it was constantly in hot water. It wasn't a football contest; it was a battle with the elements. Don't criticize Michigan's play un- less you saw the game. They were plenty good, but it was a game of blind man's bluff for the Wolverines with the opposition keen-sighted. You see, Illinois had had a rest of two weeks with the opportunity to scout all of Michigan's play and there was not much time for the Wolverines to revise the attack be- tween the Chicago game and the Illi- snois game. On the other hand, Illinois had ally the time in the world to rehearse new formations, and there wasn't one thing they did which didn't surprise Michigan. Illini were all over the field, and Michigan didn't have any idea where all those passes and bucks were going. .1 .. II c~ 1/711 f / I IN 1925 Mt.
