SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Ohio State, Illinois Meet For 23rd Time Today At Chan ipaign Buckeyes, With Heavier T e a m, Are Favorites Game Is Important In Big Ten Race; Both Teams Are Contenders Two strong contenders for the Big Ten title will go about the business of eliminating each other at Memorial Stadium, Champaign this afternoon when Illinois lines up against the Ohio State eleven in the twenty-third meeting between the schools. It will be homecoming day for the Illini with Red Grange, Illinois' great- est football hero, the guest of honor. Illinois holds a slight edge in prev- ious encounters, having won 11 con- tests to 9 for the Buckeyes, while two were tied. That the rivalry is one of the bitterest in the country is evi- denced by the close margins of prev- ious victories, 11 games being decided by the margin of a touchdown or less. Game A Toss-Up Both teams are very evenly matched and neither coach is predicting vic- tory, although Ohio State, due to its 33 to 0 victory over Indiana last Sat- urday, is slightly favored in circles outside the Illinois stronghold. The Illini opened theirepractice season with a 40 to 7 win, over Bradley, but were held to a 12 to 7 margin by Washington U. last week. Despite his team's rout of Indiana, Coach Francis Schmidt was anything but pleased with the showing of the Buckeyes. Too numerous fumbles against the Hoosiers, coupled with the traditional pessimism of coaches be- fore a big game, combined to make Schmidt doubtful concerning the out- come. Ohio's line will outweigh Illinois 15 pounds per man, the Buckeyes averag- ing 199 pounds from end to end, while the Illini are in the 184 pound class. However, Ohio's biggest hope is, its veteran bakfield. Heekin and Smith are purported to be two of the hard- est running backs in the country. Pincura will be in at quarterback, with Ohio's great punter Kabealo, at full. Has Veteran Backfield In the Illinois line, Capt. Bennis, Antilla, Gryboski, and Galbreath are the veterans upon whom Coach Zuppke will rely to stem the hard- hitting Ohio backs. Illinois' fondest hopes also rest in its backfield. Cap- tain Beynon, whom Michigan well remembers from last year, is a great passer. Lindberg and Froschauer, both two-year veterans carry the brunt of the running attack, while Theo- dore, a 184-pound sophomore will be in at fullback. The game may develop into a punt- ing duel between Kabealo and Lind- berg, who with Regeczi of Michigan are the three best punters in the Con- ference. Michigan fans will await with in- terest the result of this contest for the Wolverines meet the Illini Oct, 20 and the Buckeyes Nov. 17. Probable Lineu Illinois Pos.

With the weather more suitable for football than track andtno oneto push him, Beccali failed to lower the universal standard of 3:48.8 for 1,- 500 meters breaking the tape in the slow time of 4:02. Joe McCluskey, former Fordham star and Olympic steeplechaser, pro- vided the feature by outsprinting Um- berto Cerati in a shoulder to shoulder finish of the 3,000-meter run, turn- ing the tables on the Italian cham- pion who defeated him at Cambridge' a week ago and in Italy 12 months back.

The article was written by Ralph Can- ncn, a sports writer of that paper, and while ostensibly a prediction that Michigan might find Chicago the team which is to end its string of Conference victories as it was back in 1905, Mr. Cannon makes several re- marks which are not exactly testa- ments to the spirit shown by the Michigan team against Michigan State a week ago. Among other things Mr. Cannon remarks that Michigan resembled Expected To Start At Halfback Post Today -Associated Press Photo Jay Berwanger, all-around backfield star of the University of Chicago football team, is expected to provide mcst of the offensive power the Maroons show against Michigan today. He can run, punt, and pass and in addition to these accomplishments he has learned three backfield positions. It is undetermined as yet at which of the three he will start. It may be at full back in order to give the speedy Ned Bartlett a chance at half. Berwanger himself is fast, being a member of the Chicago track team last year. East fall, his first year at Chicago, he was mentioned on several All-Conference teams. "nothing so much as a bunch of self- .cntented seniors, contented to rest upon the laurels won in the previous seasons," also that the "Wolverines are definitely on the down-grade" and all these Mr. Cannon attributes to the disappearance of what has come to be known as the "Michigan spirit." Now Mr. Cannon should know something concerning this "Mich- igan spirit," for he is also the author of a passage which has come to be quoted as the classic expression of that tradition of fight and spirit' which Michigan claims as its heritage from the most brilliant athletic past in the Western Conference. -Asso6iated Press Photo Willis Ward, Michigan's Negro flash, is expected to start at half- back against Clark Shaughnessy's Chicago Maroons in the Big Ten opener for both schools today at Chicago. Ward, who was at end in last Saturday's game in which the Wolverines fell before Michigan State, was the individual star of a Michigan team that looked very disappoint- ing. He is one of the fastest men in football or any other game, and is expected to supply the speed which the Maize and Blue backfield did not have in its first game. This is Ward's third year on the squad, but his first experience as a halfback.

Fishman sprained his immaging against the Var- uesday and will be out in- It is well to quote from that passage, written in 1932 just after a green Michigan track team had risen to the heights in capturing the Conference track meet: "It's not just chance that few Michigan athletes and few Mich- igan teams are ever really poor. They may suffer a day off form, just likcB obby Jones or Babe Ruth, but over the route, no mat- ter it seems, who's in the lineup, they're always in there playing the game, with intelligence, with courage, and with that fine res- ilent will to win that grows out of a long strain of winners. ".1. . for want of a better name we call that tradition and that, like the somatic cell, persists through generations." Fielding Yost, who probably more than any other man has seen that somatic cell of tradition with Mich- igan teams, has'been quoted as saying that "Michigan has been at the forks many times before" and it is no idle remark to say that Michigan is again at the forks today. Few will deny that the spark which is that of a championship team was missing in last week's game. Neither will they deny that if Michigan is to retain even a vestige of its laurels it must re- capture that spark which Mr. Cannon has called tradition, and capture it in today's game. As one of the fellows said; with grim determination, as he read the clipping on the board the other after- noon, "I'd like to see that man Can- non about 5 o'clock Saturday after- noon!" We would too, and we hope that he will have occasion to be prop- erly chagrined for his latest com- ments on the Michigan spirit. Report Says Norris Is SeekingDodgers BROOKLYN, Oct. 12- (:P) - The Brooklyn Eagle says today that James E. Norris, of Chicago, is negotiating for the purchase of the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Baseball League and that "chances are very good" that control will pass to himl during the winter. Norris was in Brooklyn three weeks ago, the. Eagle said it learned, con- ferring with Stephen McKeever and the Ebbets heirs, who jointly own the club. It was not believed an agreement was reached then, but that the basis was laid for further confer- ences. Norris already is interested in sports promotion, owning the Detroit Red Wings, of the National Hockey League. He attempted to buy the Chicago Cubs some years ago before they were purchased by the Wrigley interests.
