Ward Key Man
In Wolverines'
New Offensive'
Squad Perfects Defense
Against Illinois Passing
Attack; Hildebrand Out
That Willis Ward will be used ex-
tensively as a running back was in-
dicated in yesterday's Varsity foot-
ball practice as Coach Harry Kipke
sent his squad through an offensive
and defensive drill with Ward at a
halfback post.
Ward was the key man in the at-
tack which Kipke continued to de-
velop yesterday, and it is evident that
the speed and ranginess of the con-
verted end are to be used to advan-
tage.
Ward replaced Vincent Aug in the
backfield and Mike Savage and Matt
Patanelli were used at the flanks.
Should Ward start in the backfield,
however, it is highly probable that
he would later be shifted to a flank,
in order to put Aug into the game.
The backfield lining up with Ward
yesterday included Regeczi at the
other halfback and Sweet at full-
back, with Russ Oliver and Ferris
Jennings alternating at quarterback.
Oliver worked at quarterback
throughout the offensive drill as Jen-
nings reported late, but the sopho-
more mite resumed his place at safe-
ty during the defensive practice.
After sending the squad through
the offensive practice Kipke sent a
Physical Ed. freshman squad armed
with Illinois plays through a dummy
scrimmage against the Varsity. Fea-
turing the pass plays favored by Illi-
nois, as scouted by Wally Weber; the
freshmen displayed a baffling assort-
ment of double passes behind the
line, laterals, and forward passes, all
combined with variations.
Willard Hildebrand, the veteran
tackle and guard, was sent to the
Health Service yesterday for observa-
tion of the skin infection which has,
resulted from the cleat wound which
,he received in the Chicago game. Al-
though unable to work out for at
least two days Dr. Frank Lynam,
team physician, said that Hildebrand
would be available for the Illinois
game Saturday "barring complica-
tions."
Chet Beard and Frank Bissell as-'
sumed Hildebrand's duties at guard.
Yesterday was "ex-stars day" at
Ferry Field as Chuck Bernard,'now
playing with the Detroit Lions, and
Stan Fay, 1933 captain, were present.
Another spectator was "Tug" Wilson,
a member of the Wolverine squad in
1899, 1900, and 1901. Wilson, who
now resides in Ann Arbor, played
right guard on the Michigan squad
which vanquished a Stanford team in
the Rose Bowl New Year's Day, 1902.

SOME PERSONAL MUSINGS
ABOUT THE FOOTBALL SEA-
SON:
It would be pretty nice if the De-
troit Lions and the Chicago Bears
could play their Thanksgiving Day
game in the Michigan Stadium if both
go through the season undefeated.
U. of D.'s tiny stands couldn't begin
to hold the crowd for such a "nat-
ural" if the weather is at all propi-
tious. A lot of students would pay
just to see Chuck Bernard tangle with
Bill Hewitt, "Michigan's junior edi-
tion of King Kong."
Another suggestion (which I
toss into the air) is that the Uni-
versity of Detroit-Michigan State
game on Nov. 17 might well be
held in oijr stadium. Looks like
it'll be quite a game and they'll
be playing for the championship
of Michigan for the first time in
decades. I shudder to think of
my early season prediction, when
I put Michigan first, U. of D.
second, and State third.

One of my fellow scribes speaks of
the coming Illinois-Michigan game
in these words: "There is an old say-
ing to the effect that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place. But
that tradition is going to be upset on
Saturday. On November 9, 1933,
lightning struck a high-riding Mich-
igan football team and when the roll
of thunder and the crack of splint-
ering wood had diminished the na-
tional-championship-bound Wolver-
ines found themselves trailing lowly
Illinois by six points. However, Mrs.
Harry Kipke invoked the aid of her
personal deities and Michigan won,
7-6.

bolts that day was Bob Zuppke,

If You Want To Look Smart This Fall
HAVE A BIT OF GREEN
ABOUT YOU!
Not too much, of course. But a Tyrol hat
in deep Russian green ($5) or green and
rust Argyle socks (50c) make the shaggy,
soft hued fall suits look twice as smart.
Incidentally, we have a brown Harris
tweed suit with the faintest hint of green
in it and it's one of the best-looking in our

IT'S FORMAL TIME!
With the fall social season off to a fly-
ing start, it's due time to haul the soup-
and-fish out for a bit of concentrated
rehabilitation. The Concert Series, Un-
ion Formal, and the numerous house-
parties all warrant a strictly formal con-
sideration. We have a way of reshaping
tuxedoes, tails, and smart gowns which
will make them as new as the time your
family was still paying the bills for
them. That same careful attention with
an added bit of precision will be em-
ployed in their-
