FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY - --------- Wolverines Injury Will Not They Keep Sweet Out Of Illinois Gamel Improve Defense Against Illini Passing Attack Meet Saturday In Homecoming Game At Stadium -46- Illinois Seeks Revenge F or Lnast Year's 0" p-Pin Dant CTAD * Varsity Concentrates On Pass Defense For Fourth Successive Day HildIebrafldt Is Baek Ward Exhibits Excellent Form In Defensive Drill Against Passes The Wolverines will wake up some night and find themselves intercept- ing Illinois' passes in their sleep, al- though it would be more to their advantage if they woke up Saturday* afternoon. For the fourth consecu- tive time, yesterday's practice consist- ed mainly of pass defense against a reserve eleven using Illinois pass- ing plays, with Russ Oliver throwing the passes. The Varsity performed better than it has all week, permitting few com- pleted passes, which elicited some favorable comment from Coach Har- ry Kipke. He said "They're improv- ing every day." The most efficient secondary combination against the imitated Illinois plays, was that of Ford, Regeczi, Ward, Ellis, and Aug. Perfect Bandage Cedric Sweet, regular fullback, was on the sidelines during part of the drill. He incurred an injury to the little finger of his right hand, while catching a pass, causing swelling and stiffness to set in. However, Doc Lynam and Trainer Ray Roberts dug into their bag of tricks and perfected a binding for the injured finger, which theysay will enable him to play tomorrow without any less effective- ness, if further complications don't develop. Another regular 'who took things easy was Ferris Jennings, midget quarterback, who took part in the de- fensive drill for only a short time. Hildebrand was back in uniform, after a two-days' rest, and took a light workout. Ward At Halfback Post It became well-nigh certain yester- day, that Willis Ward will start the Illinois game as a halfback. The colored star, playing a position at which he's had little experience, dis- played excellent defensive tactics against the reserve's aerial attack. Ward fits snugly into the position of defensive half against enemy passes. He is the best pass receiver on the squad, which makes him equally as proficient in intercepting passes. With his speed he has little trouble in cov- ering the pass receiver who appears in his zone, and if he doesn't allow his man to get behind him, Illinois will not complete many passes on the left side of the stadium. Hold Tackling Drill After the defensive drill, the Var- sity ran through its plays in dummy scrimmage against the second team, and followed it up with a session on the tackling dummy. The squad ex- hibited a fine spirit throughout the afternoon's work. Although the Michigan boys will enter the game to- morrow, underdogs, they are far from being depressed, and with their will to win and improved play which they showed yesterday, are likely to up- set the concensus of opinion by beat- ing the Illini. John Regeczi sent some beautiful spiralling punts soaring 65 yards down Ferry Field yesterday. Regeczi's kicking, on the average, this year, hasn't approached his record of last year, when he was the best punter in the Big Ten. In the three games played, he's averaged only about 38 yards, whereas he averaged 45 and 50 last year. His injured right knee, which he received earlier in the year, prevents him from kicking consist- ently.

Lindberg and Jack Reynn are the aces of the Illinois backfield and unless it rains Saturday they will be throwing plenty of passes. Cummings has a great reason for wanting to beat the Wolverines in this game. It was he who last year attempted a field goal in the final minutes of[ the Michigan-Illinois game only to see his kick go wide and Michigan win 7-6. Cummings has not played at all this year because of ineligibility but faculty action this week put him back on the squad. Austin is expected to start the game at one of the tackle positions(-for Michigan, while it is not yet known whether Aug will be in the starting backfield or not. If not, he will undoubtedly see service later in the game. 7BerwangerA iNatural'--Grange; Ho P P e S ho w s It's NTo News To Wolverines Billiard Skill In By RED GRANGE tackler, but the entire alignments of Exhibition Here CHICAGO, Oct. 25 - Jay Ber- defensive men. wanger, of Dubuque, who is making He has that faraway look, as it Willy Hoppe, perhaps the greatest headlines playing for the University is called in football jargon, which billiard player of modern times and of Chicago, is one of the greatest siftly photographs thedown peld certainly without parallel in the world He can cut back, go at top speed backs of this football generation. in one direction, and plant his out today, left a crowd of gaping, open- Man and boy, I have been playing foot and cut back obliquely without mouthed students in the recreation and watching the gridiron game for slackening his pace. room of the Michigan Union at the years.

I know only too wellI how blocking and careful planning by the coach have been almost entire- 1 ly responsible for that flashy journey1 down the field. But every so often along comes a back who has something you can'tj put your finger on - or your should-I er, if you happen to be a tackler. Marchy Schwartz, of Notre Dame, had it, as did Chick Harley, of Ohio State. Pug Rentner, of Northwest- ern; Harold Pogue, old-time Illini;' and Beattie Feathers, of Tennessee. Cotton Warburton, of U.S.C., has it, regardless of the fact that he has impotent blocking in front of him this year. Those touchdown twins, Jim Carter and Duane Purvis, of Purdue, have it, and so has Pug Lund, of Min- nesota. And Berwanger has it, in an extra1 generous measure. That something is not merely speed -nor mere shiftiness, nor simply lit- tle power. It is a combination of those attributes plus natural instinct in pace-timing with which a boy is born. A backawho has this mysterious "it" does a number of things without consciously planning to do them. He uses his interference as a screen, for jockeying with tacklers, not one distance the pack. Physical Ed Team Weak, Says Weber The Physical Education Football Squad is not as strong as that which represented the school last year, is the opinion of Coach Wally Weber, who in addition to his regular duties as Varsity backfield coach has charge of the Physical Eds. Valpey, a tall, rangy end who also will do the team's punting, Schroeder, a tackle from Oshkosh, Wis., Heer- ing, who alternates between the guard and tackle positions and Campbell, who is the passer, are the boys the freshman team will have to watch when the two outfits tangle in the annual game late in November. While the strong freshman team won last year 7-0, the teams appear more evenly matched this season and it may be Coach Weber's chance to lead his team to a victory this year.

Exhibiting the same masterful skill and precision which won international recognition for him in a hundred dif- ferent tournaments, Hoppe did every- thing from executing seemingly im- possible trick shots to patiently in- structing aspiring students in the art, of billiards. He played several exhibition games with prominent Union players, dis- playing throughout a calm, good na- turcd air.
