TUESDAY, OCT. 3,1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY World Series Opens At Polo Grounds In, I. Giants, Senators Battle In Annual Baseball Classic Betting Odds Almost Even As Developments Favor National League Club Hubbell To Start Cronin Still Undecided As To Opening Pitcher ; Earl Whitehill Favored New York is teeming with baseball fans today as followers of the two major league champions, the New York Giants and Washington Sen- ators, impatiently await the start of the world series opener at the Polo Grounds this afternoon. The game will be called at 1:30 p. m. Both teams engaged in a short "fire drill" yesterday afternoon to polish off a season's preparation.'l They are spending this morning in1 their respective hotels. Surprising developments have oc- curred in betting odds. An overnight flood of New York money has placed betting on almost an even basis, in place of the 10 to 7 advantage given the Senators earlier. In general, bet- ting has favored the Giants for the first game, and the Senators for the series. | Cronin Optimistic The shift in betting odds failed to perturb Joe Cronin, youthful man- ager of the Washington club. Cronin believes implicitly in the ability of his well-rounded team to take the Giants, not in four games Vs the New York Yankees made a habit of, per- haps, but comfortably. As for Bill Terry, who led the Giants to a smashing and unexpect- ed National league pennant triumph in his first full year as John Mc- Graw's successor, he's conceding the American leaguers not a single thing so long as Carl Hubbell's left arm is in serviceable condition. ,He said a week ago that Hubbell would pitch the first game and noth- ing has occurred since then to make him change his mind. The great southpaw pitched ten 'shptouts in winning 23 games this season and Terry thinks the Senators will find him just as much a puzzle as did the National league teams. As to the starting pitcher for Washington, speculation is rife, and nothing definite is known. Cronin himself insists he hasn't got the slightest idea whether he'll nominate "General" Alvin Crowder, his crack right hander, or one of his left handers, Earl Whitehill or Wally Stewart. Earl Whitehill, f o r m e r Tiger moundsman, seems to be Cronin's best bet, with Crowder, Stewart and Weaver following in that order. " The first two games will be played today and tomorrow in New. York. The scene will then shift to Wash- ington where games will be played Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The final two games, if necessary, will be held at the Polo Grounds. Starts For Giants -Associated Press Photo Carl Hubbell, ace of the New York Giant pitching staff, has been se- lected by Manager Bill Terry to hurl' the opener today. Critics feel that Joe Cronin will select either Whitehill or Crowder to oppose him. WO0M EN'S Scores for the qualifying rounds of the women's archery and golf tournaments may be turned in to the Women's Athletic Building as late as Friday afternoon. The post- ponement of the deadline was caused because of rushing, and the conse- quent delay in play-offs. Handicaps for the archery contest will be decided by scores turned in on 24 arrows shot at a distance of 30 yards. The Columbia round di- vision will provide the competition for the advanced archers, and the Handicap division. will be arranged for the low scorers. Women who wish to enter the golf championship race must turn in a qualifying score on the first nine holes of the University golf course. Tennis competition will be speeded' up. First round matches are to be completed by Friday afternoon, and if possible, second round play-offs should be completed by Monday. The open hockey sessions this afternoon and Thursday are for the benefit of players who have had pre- vious experience, and would like to participate. House athletic managers will meet at the Women's Field House Wednes- day afternoon at 4:30 to complete plans for the Intramural tou'rna- ments. Hockey and volleyball, the latter a new sport for the women's card, will be the team sports for the fall season. Harry Newman's pass to Burnett over the goal line gave the New York Giants a 10 to 7 victory over Green Bay in a National Professional Foot- ball League game Sunday. Kipke Changes Varsity Lineup For State Game Shakeup Looms As Coach' Sends Regular Linemen And Back To Reserves A definite shakeup loomed for the Varsity football squad yesterday aft- ernoon as Coach Kipke drove his charges through the firstdpractice session of the week. Not at all satisfied with the show- ing of the first-stringers in the scrimmage on Saturday, especially the line, Kipke sent three of his starting linemen and one back to the second string eleven in an effort toj improve both defense and offense be- fore the State game this Saturday. Guards Benched Kowalik and Savage; first string guards, were replaced by Borgman and Hildebrand; A u st i n, regular tackle, was sent to the second team as John Viergiver, sophomore tackle, took his position in the line; and Capt. Stan Fay, who started at quar- ter in Saturday's scrimmage, was re- placed by Bill Renner. The first team lined up with Ward and Petoskey at the ends; Wistert and Viergiver, tackles; Borgmann and Hildebrand, guards; Bernard, center; Renner,. quarter; Heston and Ever- hardus, halfs; and Regeczi, fullback. The defense eleven had Shea and Johnson at the ends; Austin and McGuire, tackles; Kowalik and Sav- age, guards; Fuog, center; Tessmer, quarter; Triplehorn and J a c o b s, halves; and Oliver, fullback. Get New Plays The offensive team were given a set of running and, passing plays by Kipke and, although there was no scrimmage, the Michigan mentor drove them through a stiff drill on the plays. Renner and Regeczi did most of the passing with Renner showing much the better with his tosses. Fay, Schmidt and Westover alter- nated with the starting backfield in running through the signal drill. An intensive blocking drill for linemen and backs featured the first part of the session with Fay and Heston showing well among the backs. PLAY & BY-PLAY -By AL NEWMAN- Tooth-Gnashing Home Stretch. . . . . N OT MUCH comfort accrues to the coaches of the larger outfits of the nation whose teams had contests with small institutions last Saturday. At least we gather that the - large majority are not exactly licking their chops with great satisfaction. In fact, if we were coaching one of the larger principals in Saturday's near- upsets on the gridiron, we would have a great deal of uncomplimen- tary things to say about first-string players in general, and the likelihood that a few salaries would be cut. Take Pitt for instance. The Pan- thers may be considered very very lucky indeed to win from the Presi- dents of Washington and Jefferson. Now W&J turns out some excellent teams but after all, Pitt, played in the Rose Bowl last January, and such outfits are usually considered to be more or less hot stuff. They failed to score until the last five min- utes of play in Saturday's game and we may take it that the cloud said to be hanging perpetually over Pitts- burgh will be augmented today by the blue smoke of profanity. There will be a weeping and wail- ing t o g e t h e r with considerable gnashing of teeth over in Evanston. Some of the stuffing came out of the Wildcat, and there will be merry Sheol to pay for the next week. Iowa was simply underrated and the same sports writer who did not give Mich- igan a chance to win the Big Ten title this year said of Northwestern "The Wildcats are wild again.. . the threat of the Conference. Ann Ar- bor papers please copy." We have copied, thank you sir! Our consensus was not so bad, but not so good, either. We are not go- ing to boast about it any. The junior staff picked eighteen out of twenty right, and one of the boys, Don Bird, had nineteen out of twenty spotted. He slipped up on the Tulane-Texas A (P) M game, picking Tulane as did the rest of the staff but one.
