23, 1934 T IE MICHIGAN DAILY #12 Varsity Concentrates On Defense Against Illini Aerial1 attack Gridders Suffer Minor Injuries In Tech Battle Hildebrand Told To 'Take It Easy'; Austin, Arm Better, Back In Line-Up Savage And Patanelli Will Probably Remain At End Posts AgainstIllinois Coming through the Georgia Tech game with no serious casualties, al- though several gridders received minor bruises, the Wolverines began preparation yesterday for the Illinois game here Saturday. The Varsity ran through its plays, spending the latter part of practice on defense against the Physical Edu- cation eleven using Illinois pass for- mations. Wallie Weber, who scouted Illinois is instructing the Physical Eds. Willard Hildebrand, who , was praised highly for his sterling play against the Yellowjackets, was in uniform yesterday, but didn't . take part in practice as he is still suffering from a leg injury received in the Chi- cago game. Doctor Lynam has ordered him to take it easy for a few days. Captain Tom Austin was back in the lineup yesterday, after being forced to leave the game Saturday at the half with an injured right arm. Aus- tin doesn't remember how he hurt the arm. Renner's Condition In Doubt Doctor Lynam also announced yes- terday, that in his opinion Bill Ren- ner's ankle will not be sufficiently healed to enable him to play against Illinois. "Whitey" Aug, who averaged four yards every time he carried the ball against Georgia Tech was relegated to the sidelines to make room for Willis Ward in the backfield. Kipke is not certain that he'll keep Ward at a halfback post, but should he start there next Saturday, which seems highly probable as Kipke is desirous of retaining Savage and Patanelli at the ends, Michigan will have started all four of its games with a different backfield cast. Ward Theat in Backfield Ward's presence in the backfield will make the Miphigan running at- tack a more dangerous threat than it has been. It is hard to imagine a better man than Ward for Michigan's fake punt play, on which Aug gained 37 yards last Saturday. The play if used infrequently is sure to get the ball carrier around the end, and once Ward gets that far, he's gone. Coach Kipke stated that the greater part of practice during this week will be devoted to defensive work against Illinois passing plays. Michigan's pass defense worked well against Georgia Tech, permitting only two completed throws out of 17 attempts, but Kipke .knows that his boys will be up against a different situation Saturday, for Beynon, one of the best passers in the country, will be throwing for the Illini. Kipke was pleased with the im- proved blocking and tackling of the Wolverines last Saturday, but said he isn't thoroughly satisfied yet. He also asserted that if Michigan's pass- ing doesn't improve, Joe Ellis and Russ Oliver will be recruited into the regular backfield, as passers. Bolas In Scrimmage Members of the second team and other reserves who didn't play against Georgia Tech scrimmaged with a freshman eleven. George Bolas, scrim- maging for the first time since he in- jured his leg a month ago was in at quarterback for the second team. Playing safety, he handled punts skill- fully, and looked good carrying the ball, getting off several runs of 15 yards. Russ Oliver threw three touchdown passes for the reserves, two being per- fectly-timed long heaves to Rieck and Pillenger. In the backfield with Bolas andE Oliver were Remias and, Triplehorn.' The line was composed of Johnson and Rieck, ends; Fisher and Wright, tackles; Bissell and Sears, guards; and Amrine, center. RANGERS, MAROONS BEGIN WINNIPEG, - Oct. 22. -{gp) - Big league hockey, a stranger to Winni- peg although many big league players hail from this section, has arrived suddenly. The advance guards of the New York Rangers and Montreal Maroons arrived yesterday and their two-weeks training sessions start today. Freshman TrackSquadChallenges Varsity In Meet Today Will Deliver erdict On Renner Wednesday All-Campus Fall' Meet To Be Held At Ferry Field Regular Squad Members To Receive Handicaps To Stiffen Competition Bill Renner, Michigan's star passer who has been laid up for a month with a bone fracture in his leg, may be able to play in the Illinois game Saturday. Dr. Carl E. Bagley, University of Michigan hospital bone specialist, said yesterday that it wound not be known definitely until Wednesday whether Renner would be in condition. An examination on that date is expected to show the exact condition of the fracture and to reveal whether he will play in the game with the Illini or will be withheld from competition until the Minnesota contest. Coach Kipke has announced that he will not put Renner in the lineup without assurance that there is no further danger of injury. By ART STAR JCARSTENS Ik---y HOUGH MICHIGAN beat Georgia Tech last Saturday the team was not particularly impressive in so doing The players themselves said after the game that they should have won by two more touchdowns. Georgia Tech was not a great team, they were not even a good team'on Saturday when the only real scoring threat they had, 'their passing, was rendered impotent by the intermittent rain. It is generally believed now that Tech was no better than the Cor- nell team that Michigan beat 40 to 0 in last year's intersectional. game. They certainly didn't have aniy of the attributes that gave Michigan State and Chicago wins over Michigan on the preceding Saturdays. Nevertheless, it is true that Mich- igan was better Saturday than it has been all season. Specifically, the team was better in: 1.' Punt handling; 2. Field generalship; 3. Running plays through the line; 4. Pass defense; 5. Defensive play; particularly of the line, but also of the backfield. They still show glaring weakness in the one important division - block- ing for ball carriers and kickers. On the two long runs that Michigan backs made Saturday blocking was conspicuous only by its absence. Not a single clean block was made as Jen- nings swept down the left sidelines for the touchdown. Nine Wolverines milled around the center of the field enough to keep the Tech players from getting through while Hildebrand ran alongside the ball carrier looking for somebody to hit. AGAIN, SWEET had to "carry the "mail" alone on his 65- yard jaunt in the last minute of play. From the moment he ran through the hole at left guard he was alone in a maze of yellow- jerseyed defense men. How he got through the quartert of Tech players just back of the line re- mains a mystery. He certainly had no help from his teammates. Regeczi's punt in the fourth quarter would never have been blocked and Tech's two points never scored if the blocking had not been faulty. Little Ferris Jennings is personally responsible for the improvement in two of the above-mentioned depart- ments, namely, punt handling field generalship. and The half-pint quarter is not mechanically perfect in handling kicks, but he's improving. The daring spirit and driving fire with which he is naturally endowed was submerged beneath a barrage of instructions and cautions from the coaches in the earlier game so that he often didn't know whether to take a punt or let it roll. He was keeping one eye on the sidelines where Kipke squat- ted eating grass. He knows now, however, that Kipke has confi- dence in him, the fact that he played the whole 60 minutes Sat- urday proves it, and he should go places-especially when his mates start blocking for him. D.A.E. To Defend. Volleyball Title Delta Alpha Epsilon will begin the defense of their interpraternity vol- leyball crown at 7:15 p.m. today when they meet Zeta Beta Tau in the first game of the season at the Intramural Building. At the same time on another court Phi Kappa Tau will clash with Psi Upsilon, while at 8:15 Delta Kappa Epsilon is scheduled to oppose Phi Lambda Kappa and Alpha Chi Sigma will battle Pi Lambda Phi. This evening's game will mark the opening of the annual play which will extend this year until Nov. 15. At the conclusion of the regular sea- son the nine league champions will meet in a series of playoffs. The number of entries this year is A new type of track meet, which Coach Ken Doherty calls "The Out- door All-Campus Fall Handicap Meet," will be held at 3:30 p.m. at Ferry Field, and Doherty's, freshmen thinclads hope to have the time of their lives humbling Coach Charlie Hoyt's Varsity. The frosh hopes are based on the handicap system under which the meet will be run off. With Varsity tracksters, ii most cases, forced to give out handicaps, which they may find hard to make up, and with riv- alry between the freshmen and Var- sity consequently becoming keen, the meet should be as colorful as the pro- verbial flannels. Doherty indicated yesterday. Three Frosh at Scratch In three events, freshmen will con- pete with the Varsity at scratch. In the shot put, John Townsend, fresh- man from Indianapolis, will fight it out on even terms with Martin Alex- ander, junior. Howard Bratt, another freshman, of Lockport, New York, will high jump with Winston Moore with- out any advantage, while Ralph Par- ker will compete from scratch with Tom Stoller in the broad jump. Other yearlings whom Doherty be- lieves will have a better than average chance of defeating Varsity stars, considering the handicap allowed, are as follows: James Kingsley, Sanford Farrell and Harold Stein against Dave Hunn in the pole vault. All are capable of somewhere around 11 feet, six inches, and, with a 14-inch handicap, should force Hunn to vault around 12 feet, nine inches in order to win. Hunn is capable of around 13 feet. Handicaps Make It Close In the discus, Art Shroeder, Lee Moore, John Freese and John Town- send should give Martin Alexander a tough time, with approximately a 10- foot advantage conceded them at the start. Likewise Mason Steven, in the!1 100-yard dash, Tom Searles, in the 440-yard run, and Ed Standard and William Staehle, in the mile, should I-Smith and Gooding close races in give Stoller, Fisher and Birleson, and their specialties. However, the meet is open to more than Varsity and freshmen tracksters and Doherty and Hoyt will have their eyes peeled for any new talent thatI is revealed from the Intramural ranks. All the customary events except the 220-yard high hurdles and the two- mile run will be contested. The track events, beginning at 4:25 p.m., will be run off in the following order: 220- yard low hurdles, 100-yard dash, mile run, 880-yard run, 220-yard dash, and 440-yard run. The field events will start at 3:30.
