0 6, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Two Games Open Western Conference Grid Season .n Wildcats Face Iowa; Hoosiers Meet Buckeyes Other Big Ten Teams To Oppose Non-Conference Foes; Irish Play Opener CHICAGO, Oct. 5. - P) - While Notre Dame opens what Irish alumni, both real and synthetic, hope will be another golden football era, the West- ern Conference will let loose with two major blasts Saturday: Notre Dame will open its first sea- son under Coach Elmer Layden against the University of Texas Long- horns. Iowa, rated as one of the top bracket elevens in the Big Ten, will meet Northwestern, and Indiana's Hoosiers will meet Ohio State at Co- lumbus. Of hardly less importance will be Minnesota's battle against Nebraska at Minneapolis, and Michigan's first appearance of the season, in its an- nual squabble with Michigan State College at Ann Arbor. Purdue opens its campaign by entertaining Rice Institute of Lafayette. Illinois plays Washington University at St. Louis and Wisconsin makes its bow against Marquette at Madison. Although , Layden has almost moaned aloud over Notre Dame's blocking in practice, the Irish with five full teams ready for action, are favored to go off with a victory. The Texans, also coached by an old Notre Dame star, Jock Chevigny, appear capable of making a fight of it, how- ever. The championship notions of Iowa will be settled one way or another at Evanston. Iowa, a veteran aggrega- tion, rates an edge, but Northwestern, with last year's weak spots patched, will not be a soft touch for the Hawk- eyes. The Wildcats plan to take to the air in search of victory, while Iowa probably will rely on its power- ful running game. The Ohio State-Indiana battle rates as a toss-up. Ohio State will be playing its first game of the season against the Hoo- siers, and but for the latter's sur- prising show of power last week against Ohio University, probably would be the choice. In spite of a lot of unofficial criticism of his "five- man" backfield formation, Coach Bo McMillin of Indiana, has polished it up for the battle, Francis Schmidt, Ohio's new coach, scouted the Hoo- siers last week, and has worked hard to prepare an antidote for McMillin's unorthodox maneuver. Minnesota probably will get a ter- rific battle from Nebraska, but the other Big Ten teams figure to check in with victories. The Nebraska con- test, however, probably will demon- strate just how good the highly touted Gophers are this season. Ratterman, Former Michigan Athlete, To Be Wed Today Fred Ratterman, Michigan's hard- luck athlete of the past three years who shook off his injury jinx enough last spring to win a letter in baseball, will be married to Miss Mary Paul, '36, of Ann Arbor, here today. The couple will attend the Michigan- Michigan State game this afternoon. It is rumored that Ratterman has signed a contract to play pro football with the Cincinnati entry in the Na- tional football loop. Ratterman came to Michigan hail- ed as the greatest all-round athlete ever produced in Cincinnati or its environs but never played in a Var- sity football or basketball game. Dizzy's Wife Making Plans For Home Life ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5- (/P) -Mrs. Jay Hanner (Dizzy) Dean, nee Patricia Nash of Gulfport, Miss., says her plans after the series depend on "how the series goes." The statement lacks the incorrigible optimism of her hus- band. "I'd like best to open the little house we bought in Florida and fish and play golf and keep house, but I want Dizzy to take advantage of all these offers he has had, if they still hold good after the series is over. "You see I'm determined Dizzy shall not end his career on a parlor bench." MONMOUTH COACH SMALL Bobby Woll, of Murphysboro, new backfield coach at Monmouth College, is the smallest and youngest coach in the Little Nineteen conference. He weighs 139 pounds, stands 5 feet 5 inches tall, and is 21 years old. For Change Time Of Game Today Back To 2 P. M1. Contrary to a previous an- nouncement, the Michigan-Mich- igan State footballgame will begin at 2:00 p.m. today instead of at 2:30 p.m. as announced. The game was originally to have been delayed a half-hour in order to allow the announcement of the progress of the World Series base- ball game. Since the game in St. Louis is not scheduled to start until 2:30, however, the original starting time will be adhered to. Progress of the baseball game will be announced through the public address system during time outs and at halts during the game.

The title is self explanatory.

Such a contest is rare along the At- lantic seaboard at this time of the year, even though "big" games al- ready have begun to dot the schedules for the rest of the Nation. The only explanation for the early date seems to be that it was the only available spot on the program. Columbia again figures to be one of the major football powers of the East, despite the loss of a good many players who carried them to triumph in the Rose Bowl last New Year's Day. Yale, with a brand new coaching set- up, remains an unkown quantity, but the Elis in "a good season or bad us- ually manage to provide a real game for anybody's football team. In contrast to this, the other con- servatives start off as usual. Harvard and Princeton face the customary curtain-raising opponents; Bates and Amherst. Penn starts against Ursin- us; Syracuse meets Clarkson; Ford- ham opens with Westminister and Colgate with St. Lawrence. Having started a week ago, the easy w o r k continues for Dartmouth against Vermont, Brown against Rhode Island, Army against Davidson and Cornell against Richmond. Navy has a somewhat tougher prospect with Virginia but the Midshipmen figure to be too strong and the same goes, for Pittsburgh against its old rival, West Virginia. The Pacific Coast program is top- ped by the usual early season scrap between Califbrnia and St. Mary's with the Southern California-Wash- ington State and Stanford-Oregon State encounters in the supporting cast. Ann Arbor High To Play Team From Saginaw Ann Arbor High school will enter- tain Saginaw Eastern at 10:30 a.m. today at Wines Field with fair chances of winning their third straight gridiron encounter. This morning's struggle should mark the turning point of the Purple's football fortuities for the season. A victory will give them much needed confidence while a defeat will prob- ably tend to send them into the same lethargy-that made them the doormat of the Five-A League in 1933. Following the dummy scrimmage last night, Coach Louis Hollway an- nounced the following lineup: ends, Capt. Jennings and Neilsen; tackles, Sutton and Johnson; guards, Danner and Schumann; center, Tasch. Dav- ies will pilot the Purples from the quarterback post, Warner and Kurtz will bear the brunt of the attack at the halves, and Courtright will start at fullback. The above lineup will give Ann Ar- bor a strong though fairly light line and a backfield that has plenty of speed. MARQUETTE TEAM LIGHT MarquetterUniversity's average football player this fall is 185 1-3 pounds in weight, a fraction under six feet in height. DANCE at GRANGER'S 111i TONIGHT 11 portant games in the country and juniors and sophomores on the sport staff will make their selections of the winners. An official score-keeper and mathematician has been appointed and he will report on the percentage of accuracy of the boys' choice each week. Ye Olde Editor is, very wisely, I think, keeping strictly aloof from all these prognostications. He may, how- ever, make some observations from time to time on how the boys are picking them. For example. Whoever picked Nebraska to tie Minnesota must have strong recollec- tions of these four ties the Gophers played last year. I think that Vanderbilt deserves better than a 4 to 7 chance against Georgia Tech. The boys are wise in being doubt- ful about those West Coast games. The way things went last week a good prognosticator is going to have a heck of a time when he gets near the Pacific. Some difference of opinion has also appeared over the Big Ten openers, and I don't blame the three hardy souls who voted for Indiana over Ohio State. Wouldn't that be something? Prognosticator's Incorporated is going to have some good percentages this week, with many of the teams still playing warm-up games, but there is a long, hard season ahead and fat averages now will certainly feel the wintery breath of error be- fore Thanksgiving. So wait for the fun, Gentle Reader. Michigan (11) vs. Michigan State (0). Minnesota (10) vs. Nebraska (0)- one vote for a tie. Iowa (10) vs. Northwestern (1) .

The St. Louis batters fell on Tommy Bridges histily at the beginning of the game and gave the younger Dean a comfortable margin with which to work. Although Dean's wildness put many Tigers on the basepaths, he was invincible in the pinches, 13 Detroit runners being left on base. Detroit's eight hits were well-scattered. TSTE BOX SCORE ST.

THE GODS of football fate will again be invoked by Harry Kipke for the 1934 season. In response to a reporter's question yesterday he said, "You're dash dash right I'm go- ing to wear that brown suit again this year!" Groundkeepers have provided a particularly succulent patch of grass immediately in front of the Michigan bench for Kipke's consumption. CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Oct. 5.-(WP) - Milton M. Olander, chief assistant to Coach Bob Zuppke at the Univer- sity of Illinois for the past nine years, today resigned, effective early next year, to take a position with a Toledo manufacturing concern. Olander, who entered the Univer- sity from Rockford, Ill., played tackle at Illinois under Zuppke in 1918- 19-20-21, freshmen being eligible for the Varsity in 1918, the war year. After graduating he became head football coach at Westerh State Teachers College, Kalamazoo, Mich., where he remained until after the 1923 season. He returned to Illinois as an assistant in 1924, and the next year became Zuppke's righthand man. on the Tigers, although they were trailing by two runs. * * * * Whitey Wistert spends his spare moments before football practice in tutoring Johnny Gee, sophomore, in the pitching art. I can't put much faith in the current rumor that Gee was sent out hereby the Yankees for seasoning under Coach Ray Fish- er's waltchful eye, but the lanky southpaw has plenty of stuff and should be one of the Wolverj~ne's best moundsmen next spring. 7 5 0 .35 1 8 11 1 ..................1 1 0 .0 0 0 St. Louis Detroit ..... 0 2 0 0 0*- 0 0 0 0 0 1 -- 4 1 r rill Earned runs - Detroit 1, St. Louis 4.
