TU SATURDAY, 'SEPTEMBER 2, 1904 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Long Passing Drill;_Meets ean Blanks Reds 4-0; Cards Dizzy D f A' Guard First and Third In Detroit Infield STAR DUST By ART CARSTENS REMINISCENCES of 20 football sea- sons: . Havng lived within earshot of Ferry Field and the New Stadium during exactly twenty football seasons and having seen a game or two every year since I was five years old, I feel qual- ified to make some comments; Back when Yost's teams were play- ing at Ferry Field and I was knee- high to a grasshopper, the kids in the neighborhood went to the games en masse - all climbing the fence to- gether and sprinting for the safety of the crowd. The Devil really took the hindmost in those days and I ruined many a trouser seat on the barbed wire along the top of the Ferry Field fence. A few years brought increased cunning and we learned that it saved trousers to get acquainted with a gate-keeper to walk past. It used to be my duty to find out what color the tickets were for each game and get slips of tinted paper to match. Last year I saw a couple of urchins scaling a fence out at the stadium and my heart certainly went out to them. THE THIRD STAGE was to join the local Boy Scouts and thus get thel opportunity to usher at the games. What a thrill I got when, leaving a basketball game -one evening, Yost patted me and another Scout com- panion on the shoulder, and asked how we hadtliked the game. It'slittle things like that - My most exciting game was one I didn't see. I had achieved the dignity of a senior in high school and hadn't figured out a way to get into games without paying and still maintain grandeur, so I sat at home that after- noon four seasons ago when Michigan played Purdue. I could hear the cheer- ing over the radio first and the next instant hear the cheer direct from the Stadium. Believe me there wasn't much to cheer about for a while though. Those Boilermakers went to work and scored two touchdowns and made one conversion before I could get comfortably settled on the davenport. Thirteen to noth- ing looked darn big. You all know how it ended. Harry Newman started on the All-American road that afternoon when he quarter- backed Michigan to two touchdowns and two conversions before the half was over and held that two-point lead through 30 minutes of bitter battling in the second half. IT WAS WHILE working with Al Newman in the pressbox at the Ohio State game last year that I received the greatest thrill of my football-spectatoring ca- reer. It was a wonderful game, but my thrill camne between the halves. Typewriters clicked incessantly in the pressbox at my back as the Wolverine and Buckeye bands marched and countermarched on the white-striped field. Suddenly the Michigan band's quick-step slowed to a funeral pace. They spread and slowly the parallel lines broke uptto form the single word, "Steve." They stopped and as a single trumpeter sounded the first notes of " Taps" all sounds{ 'in the press box ceased. Writers sat silent with their fingers on typewriter keys, telegraphers stilled the clatter of their instru- ments. The notes of the bugle call died away and again all clat- ter and confusion. Michigan had paid her last tribute to Steve Far- rell. "-ANK. GREENBERG MAFRVIN -OWE~N Hank Greenberg and Marvin Owen, playing on opposite sides of the diamond, have been invaluable cogs in the great infield of the champion Tiger team this season. Owen's fielding at third has been sensational and his hitting timely, while Greenberg's long range slugging has won more than a few ball games for the Bengals.

Carl Savage Girds Freshmen For Annual Tilt With Varsity The freshman gridders, under'the. tutelage of Carl Savage, are ready for their secret tangle with the Var- sity squad at the stadium this after- noon. They are as ready as five days of practice on the Notre Dame shift can make them, which will not be a great degree of readiness. The freshmen have been drilling two elevens all week on Michigan State plays which are run from the Notre Dame shift, and the frosh will use them today to help prepare the Varsity for the opening game with Michigan State next Saturday. Varsity Beat Them Last year when Michigan supposed-{ ly had one of its best freshman squads in years, the Varsity overwhelmed them on the first Saturday of the school year. But last year's Varsity was unde- feated through a hard schedule while the calibre of this year's team is un- known. However, the freshmen are in for a drubbing. , The eleven freshmen picked to start today , are: Eveleth, Corunna, Mich., and Fowdy, Chicago, Ill., ends; All freshmen who are engaging in this afternoon's football scrim- mage are to be dressed by 2:30 p. m., according to Coach Ray Fisher of the freshman squad. Luby and Greenwald of Chicago, tackles; Marzcnie, Flint, Mich. and Schroeder, Oskosh. Wis., guards; Renaldi, Elkhart, Ind., center; Babbin, Mt. Pleasant, Mich., quarterback; Cooper and Nickerson of Detroit, halfbacks; Dutkowski, Flint, Mich., fullback. Marzonie was an all-state guard. practice A Week Because the first year men have only been, out for a week and the coaches haven't been able to get a true line on their merit, most of theC boys were selected on a basis of size. This year's squad seems to be lighter than previous freshman teams, and despite the herding together of the biggest boys, it is doubtful if the frosh line.will average 185 pounds. Dutkowski, fullback, is the heaviest of the freshman backs, weighing 190 pounds. Babbin tips the scales at 165, while Cooper and Nickerson weigh around the 175 mark. The regular Varsity line averages 206 pounds. j The reason for the secretiveness of today's session is not apparent, unless the moguls are afraid lest the crowd will make the freshmen nervous. Announce Date For First Boxing Bouts Preliminary bouts "for the annual Golden Gloves tournament will be held on Oct. 10 at the Ann Arbor Ar- mory. Boxers from this city, Ypsilanti, Detroit, and Battle Creek will meet on a twelve bout card. Two University men will fight that night. Lee Shaw, very promising wel- terweight, is one, and Wally Gager is the other. Lee has won several tour- naments, among them the Michigan State A.A.U. tournament. He is con- sidered one of the best boxers ever to have come here. Wally Gager is also considered a good boxer but lacks experience. By the time the Golden Gloves Tournament is held, he should be quite a menace to the other featherweights. CARRYING IT TOO FAR A fish fossil 5,000,000 years old was dug up recently near Los Angeles, Calif. I-M Department To Sponsor All Campus Golfing The openng of the All Campus golf tournament, postponed from yester- day, is scheduled for this morning., The tournament, consisting of sev- enty-two holes of medal play, is open to all undergraduates who are scho- lastically eligible and to members of the Varsity and Freshman golf squads. The starting time of the tourna- ment is set for 8:30 a.m. and all contestants must tee off before 10 a.m. Each contestant must finish 36 holes on Saturday, according to a state- ment by Coach Thomas C. Trueblood. The players qualifying in the first sixteen will play 18 holes Friday and the remaining 18 on Saturday. Johnny Fischer, one of the favored players and four-time holder of the title, will not compete, it was learned today. Another announcement that will be of interest to golf fans is that the University course will remain open as long as the weather permits - closing probably, about the first of November. AI.- - . - it James Kingsley of New Trier, Illi- nois, Sandy Farrell of Grand Rapitis and Harold Stein of Monroe are the best of the pole vaulters and before the year is over may surpass records made during the season by Varsity vaulters. All three have cleared 12 feet already. Another trio of men on the squad who seem headed for the Varsity are John Townsend of Indianapolis, Herb Cohen of Brooklyn, New York, and William Balter from Connecticut. All are shot putters -and are all able to push the pellet past the 40-foot mark. Howard Brott of Lockport, New York, is the best of the high jumpers. It is expected that more freshmen will report to Coach Doherty this week. Twenty-five first year men are drilling on the cross country squad in preparation for their four meets. eFRATERNITY B A D G E S es B ORO A D RI G TY E S *HONOR K E *PLEDGE AIR Y Y S PINS i~ - - .
