WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8,1933 THE I I C H I G A N DAILY Michigan Stresses Punt Practice; Iowa Holds StiffScri mm PLAY, Star Guard Not Permanently Out Of Line-Up & BY-PLAY -By AL N EWMAN- The Hoptoad Poetry A Review... Contest.... THE FOLLOWING POEM was submitted yesterday by Mr. C. J. Dyer, to whom thanks for a poem which after the Illinois game is very appro- priate, as well as not lacking in aesthetic appeal. I know that Mr. Dyer, a graduate of West Point in '24 will not object if I review it for the HOPTOAD POETRY PRIZE, which I shall do below; as this business of poetry review- ing fascinates me and I have been feeling envious of the English depart- ment ever since they began their series of reviews in the editorial pages of The Daily: OVER-CONFIDENCE (An Ode to a Wooden Plug) Ulysses, King of Ithaca, Who thunk, as real kings should, Got in, with several trusty lads, A hoss carved out of wood. This graven bronk the Greeks then left On Ilium's sizzling strand, And hieing them unto their ships, They beat it from the land. Came Priam, Nibs of Ilium, His morning leer to grin; Espied the nag out on the sands, And bade them fetch it in. Within the walls of Troy, wherein Full many a moon no Greek Had quaffed his wine, nor doffed his shoon, Nor pecked him maidling's cheek! They knelt them down and wor- shipped, Did these hippolatrous chumps; They guzzled and they gorged so much Theyall but got the mumps. That night, while Troy lay torpid And a-snoring like the just, Lyss and his gang from Hellas Slipped out and hit the dust. They conked the guard; they oped the gates; They sneaked the others in; Then, having cooked the Trojan goose, Betook to honest sin. They slew a while to get warmed up, And then to change the fun, They slaughtered; then just butch- ered, Until-Boy! when they got done- There weren't even POLLIWOGS Left 'neath the Trojan sun! The moral to this tale, my friend, (Heed morals, for its pays!) Is: if a Greek leaves you a hoss, Just let him stand and graze. THIS POEM IS HIGHLY ALLE- GORICAL, but I question wheth- er anyone not as highly trained in appreciation of poetry as we of the English department can appreciate the fortuitous metaphors and the light and feathery quality of the sub- tle imagery. Obviously, the Trojans do not represent U. S. C. as in well- organized pigskin circles, but in this case represent Michigan, while The Greeks represent Illinois instead of fraternity men. The wooden horse subtly brings Notre Dame into the picture . .. the four horsemen of Notre Dame, of course ! Here the allegory becomes slightly confused to me and I will have to ask the rest of the boys in the department for an opinion. But it certainly merits a great deal of at- tention for the Hoptoad prizes. In the third stanze beginning,, "Came Priam ...

As things stand now, the Freshmen and Seniors have the upper hand. In games played Thursday, the Senior eleven trounced the Juniors, 4 to 0. The Freshmen edged out the Soph- omores, 1 to 0 in the other prelim- inary match. Finals will be played off Thurs-1 day, Nov. 9. After the game a spread will be held at the Women's Field House, to honor the winners. * * * Alpha Phi's Defeat Kappas, 2-1 In the Intramural division, play goes into the second week of elim- ination. In a close-f aught battle Alpha Phi edged out the Kappa Kap- pa Gamma team, finishing on the long end of a 2 to 1 score. Betty Healy and Jeanette Detwiler were re- sponsible for the goals which won the game, while Wilson tallied late in the second half to put the Kappas back in the running. They were, how- ever, not able to rally sufficiently to scoreragain, and thus lost out in the title race. Bowling Events Bowling alleys at the Women's Field House will be opened November 13 for the fall indoor season. A tournament is scheduled to get un- der way early in December. The al- leys will be open from 4 to 6 p. m. and 7 to 9 p. m. daily, and from 3' to 5 p. m. Saturdays. YALE WARNS BULLDOGS NEW HAVEN, Nov. 6.-(P)--A warning to the Georgia Bulldogs from Yale is that they'd better get the extra point if they get a touchdown. Claire Curtin, who handles such jobs for the Elis, has a perfect record so far--eight chances and eight points. changed for the better, I believe if two words were transposed. Instead of saying "His morning leer to grin," you could say, "His morning grin to leer" . . . and then change the final line to rhyme thus . . . instead of "He bade them bring it in" say "He bade them bring it here." Of course the reader would not know where "here" is, but I like to rhyme "leer" and "here" and have been doing so for years. . Outside of that, I can see nothing wrong in the technical end of the poem and I wish to add here that any additional poetry which may be sub- mitted will be carefully reviewed ... but it must be on sports. Varsity Squad Works Against Hawkeye Plays Everhardus May Replace Regeczi As Punter For3 Saturday's Game Coach Harry Kipke stressed the punting phase of football yesterday when he had his three star kickers, Johnny Regeczi, Herm Everhardus, and Russ Oliver, practising on plac- ing punts. Regeczi's reversal of form in kick- ing has worried Kipke to no little extent. In the game with Illinois last Saturday, the big junior's kick- ing fell below his usual excellent form and caused the "Wolverines no end of embarrassment. If Regeczi'spunt- ing does not pick up, Kipke may as- sign the kicking duties to Herm Ever- hardus for this Saturday's game. After the punting workout, the Varsity squad was taken indoors for practice on the Iowa plays. The practice consisted mainly in getting the squad used to the type of' play that Iowa is expected to use in the game this Saturday. The "B" team, under the direction of Coach Ray Courtright who scouted the Hawkeyes, ran through the Iowan plays against the Varsity. Some time was placed on the study of the Iowa shift, a variation of the old Minne- sota shift which has the center and the tackles on the line of scrimmage as soon as the huddle is ended. The guards are back of the line and shift up to the line of scrimmage for the play with a 1-2-3 count and the backfield gets into a z-shaped posi- tion. Carl Savage, who was injured in the game last Saturday against Illi- nois, will probably be out until the last game of the season, the game with Northwestern. Bill Borgmann took his place at guard in -the prac- tice yesterday and will undoubtedly be starting in the game Saturday. Willard' Hildebrand also took turn' with Kowalik at the other guard po- sition. The squad is still getting over the beating of body administered by the Illini but is in better condition than it was at the beginning of this week. * * Big Ten Standings WLT Pet.

He lacks drive such as Minnesota's Lund possesses, but is very shifty in an open field. Crayne, Laws Best Runners Crayne and Laws are the two Hawkeye backs expected to gain the most ground against Michigan this week. Laws is not as spectacular a player as Crayne but can be depended upon to get several yards when yards are hard to get. Laws, besides run- ning with the ball, is a southpaw passer of considerable repute and does some of the kicking for the Hawkeyes.

THE MICHIGAN DAILY for AN OFFICIAL RECORD -Associated Press Photo A chip out of the bone in Savage's left foot suffered in the Illinois game Saturday has forced him out of the line-up. "Butch's" excellent work at the guard post will be missed by the Wolverines against Iowa and Minnesota, but the hijury has a 50-50 chance to heal sufficiently to permit him to play against Northwestern. Interest Centers On Yearlings With Eight Veterans Graduating OF CAMPUS ACTIVITY $4.25 MAILED 1 0 Conferene Scorers Topped By Everhardus CHICAGO, Nov. 7- (P) - Herman Everhardus, whose trusty toe provid- ed the edge in Michigan's thrilling victory -over Illinois, lost ground in the Big Ten's in- dividual football - scoring race to Russell Fisher, of Iowa, last week, but he still had a wide margin of 19 . points. T h e Michigan backfield star lift- ed his point total to 56, with eight touchdowns and asj many added points. Fisher scored 21 points against Iowa State to pass Jay Berwanger, of Chi- cago, who hasn't scored against a Conference team as yet. The 10 leaders and their totals: T PAT Tot. Everhardus, Mich. ......8 8 56 R. Fisher, Iowa........5 7 37 The performances of the members of the freshman football squad are being watched with more than the ordinary amount of interest. Next year the varsity suffers the loss of some eight regulars, together with numerous substitutes by the gradua- tion route. Consequently, a large quota of replacements will be neces- sary. The coaching staff hopes that among the first year men will be found the solutions to some of their problems. The climax of the season for the frosh group is their annual struggle with the Physical Eds. Last year the former proved superior by the mar- gin of a touchdown. However, the Physical Ed boys will be out for re- venge in this year's contest, tenta- tively scheduled for the Wednesday preceding the Minnesota game. HAWKEYES ON EDGE Coach Ossie Solem yesterday con- tinued the policy he began Monday afternoon of giving his Hawkeyes hard, long workouts in preparation for the important Michigan game on Saturday. The big Iowa team came out of its game with Iowa State in fine physical condition. Every regular will be rarin' to go this week-end.
