THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, EPTEMI East Determined To Rise Out Of Football Cellar, Purdde Coaching Staff Works To PerfectNewBackfield Shift Columbia's Victory Stanford In Rose Begins Movement Over' Bowl (Continued from Page 7) by Minnesota. Bob Hogan and Mike Sebastia are gone from the back- field and Skladany All-America end has played his last game for Pitt. A glimmer of light appears in the clouds. Weinstock, Weisenbaugh and Captain Hartwig will be back, and if some capable reserves can be found Pitt may give Princeton a run for its laurels. Gar Davison's second year at the United States Military Academy will not be as enjoyable as was his first year. Eight regulars were lost by graduation from the team that came within one point of having an un- beaten season and most of the plebe stars who were expected to fill this gap were flunked out. Jack Buckler is back and perhaps with the help of Stancock, Nazarro and Grove in the backfield and Stillmann Beall and Vincent in the line another win- ning combination will be fashioned. Tough work ahead for the Cadets. Down on the Banks of the Severn the Midshipmen think that for the first time in a long while their team has a very good chance to beat the Army. Rip Miller has been succeeded by Tom Hamilton as head coach, and with such men as Borries, Lambert and Captain Dick Burns a good team can be molded. Yale, starting under a new coach, Ducky Pond, is an uncertainty. Cur- tin, Whitehead and Rankin may prove to be the nucleus from which Yale will make her football come- back. Ivy Williamson, former Michi- gan captain, is coaching the ends and, should turn out a better team than that which lost to both Prince- ton and Harvard last year. Harvard, Dartmouth, New York University, Cornell and Pennsylvania do not appear better than they were last year. New coaches at N. Y. U. and Dartmouth may produce win- ning teams but Penn and Cornell do not seem likely to regain their lost glory. Manhattan under Chick M. Meehan is heading for the top but it will be another year before it hits. C. C. N. Y. is hopeful under Benny Friedman, while Brown, Holy Cross, Colgate, Syracuse, Temple and Rutg- ers may spring surprises and scramble up the advance dope on the teams, LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 24 - Purdue's backfield shift will be a shift in every sense of the word this fall. In conferences with Mal Edward, veteran assistant coach, who collab- orated with Kizer in coaching the College All-Stars at Chicago, and Guy Mackey and Jim Purvis, who complete the varsity staff, the Boil- ermaker mentor has been busily drafting plans for tentative align- ments of elevens so that no time will be lost in starting his reconstruction project. With only ten major lettermen available as the nucleus for the 1934 squad that will attempt to maintain the victory gait established by Purdue elevens in the past five years, a heavy burden will rest on last year's re- serves and incoming sophomores in attempting to mold a well-knit eleven. Wide-open fights for permanent assignments are in prospect at both ends, both guards, one tackle, quar- terback and fullback, positions vacat- ed by last year's stars. The selec- tion of the eventual starters will be complicated by the fact that in spring drill there was little to choose between the aspirants for most of the posts. Barring injuries, Captain Carl Heldt, at left tackle; Jim Carter and Duane Purvis, halfbacks, and Ed. Skoronski, center-; all proven stars in their own right, are expected to be permanent fixtures in the line- up. In early drills, emphasis is ex- pected to be laid on development of a capable defensive forward wall in view of the fact that Rice Institute, the opening foe here on October 6, has prospects for one of the coun- try's fastfast backfield combinations. Although Carter will work normally at the left halfback post and Purvis at the right halfback berth, through the use of the "cross-shift," which can be performed without losing any of the rhythmical action of the typi- cal Notre Dame shift, Carter may appear at left halfback for two plays and then suddenly move to the right halfback position, with Purvis going to left halfback. Upon occasion, it will also be possible for one or the other of the two veterans to shift either into the fullback or quarter- back position. All of the shifting is being done from the regular T formation, with the backs lining up in the normal way before each shift. Kizer's new wrinkle appears to have a number of possibilities, for it will enable the quarterback to take advantage of the full offensive power of either Carter or Purvis at any point on the field by simply calling for the cross shift. BOWIING HAS CODE, TOO The tenpin game is under the NRA code this season. Hockey Board Prepares For 1934 Schedule NEW YORK, Sept. 24 -P) - The National Hockey League today cleared the ice for the 1934-35 season as the board of governors, meeting in their semi-annual session, successfully ironed out stadium difficulties at Chi- cago and Boston, adopted a 48-game schedule, approved of the penalty shot and reduced the salary limits. The penalty shot was adopted with- out much opposition. In use on thet Pacific Coast, the rule gives the at- tacking team a free shot 38 feet from the net whenever a player is fouled. while shooting what the referee con- siders a "sure shot." The shot will be made from a circle, 10 feet in; diameter, by any player not in the penalty box. The player making the shot may do so either from a stationary position or from a running start. Tom Sawyer Try-outs Are To Continue Children's Theatre try-outs will continue through the first part of the week, according to Russell McCrack- en, director. Applicants, either uni- versity students or children from the Ann Arbor public schools are ask- ed to report to the Undergraduate offices some time after 3:30 p. m. The play for which the trials are being conducted is Mark Twain's fa- mous story, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." Both McCracken, and Sue Calcutt, '35, student head of the Chil- dren's Theatre, will be at the office to talk to newcomers this week. The plays, which are given in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, are a part of the Undergraduate project, but the students working for that co-operate with Play Production and the Ann Arbor Schools. Most of the production work is done by students, both men and women, giving them an opportunity to work at the type of thing that they plan to do when they get out of school.
