FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TH Sol SobseyMoved To Guard In Effort To Strengthen Line rk On Defense To Put Converted End At Center rF The HOT STOVE By BILL REED - tI Tiny Wright Continues Be Kipke's Choice Pivot Spot To At 11i 11 Rinaldi Is Still Out Everhardus Will Start At Halfback; Hanshue To Stay At Tackle In an attempt to strengthen the center of the Michigan line for the Conference opener against the In- diana University eleven tomorrow, Coach Harry Kipke has inserted Sol- omon Sobsey, erstwhile sophomore end, in the guard post vacated by the injured Fred Ziem. On defense the 190-pound newcomer will back up the line. Sobsey played the guard position for the first time Wednesday follow- ing the injury that forced Chet Stabovitz, who had also been an end in the past, from practice. In the Wednesday and Thursday scrim- mages he showed up well. Michigan observers are hoping that he will do as well against the Hoosiers. Wright At Center Post Harry Wright, 245-pound center, is the major reason for the shifting of Sobsey from end to guard. Because of his enormous weight he is unable to back up the line on defense and this job must be done by one of the guards. Should Sobsey be unable to fill his new position satisfactorily Kipke will have several alternatives. He can shift Bud Hanshue, who is scheduled to start at one of the tackle positions, to guard and use him to back up the line, or put Jesse Graber or Ernie Pederson at Sobsey's post and change centers. Renaldi To Get Chance When Joe Renaldi, who has been out of uniform for two weeks because of a severe cold, returns to practice Coach Kipke will have the choice of using him as guard or putting him back at center. Renaldi has played both positions in the past although he thought to be the starting center for the Michigan State game before he took sick. Rinaldi definitely will not play Saturday. It is important that the center of the Michigan line be at full strength against the Hoosiers for it is there that they are the strongest. With Reed Kelso at center, Olmstead at guard, Del Sasso, and McDaniels at tackle, Indiana presents a strong heavy line that is sure to give the Wolverines a real workout. Varsity In Punting Drill Kipke put the Varsity and second team through a stiff punting scrim- mage, yesterday, with Sweet, Renner, and Campbell doing the kicking. All were getting off long, high punts and the ends and tackles were getting down under them fairly well. Later in the afternoon the two teams worked on a passing defense against a freshman eleven. Practice was closed with short session on the tackling dummy. The tentative starting lineup as an- nounced by Coach Kipke finds Pa- tanelli and Valpey at the flanks; Manshue and Viergever, tackles; Sob- sey and Bissell, guards; Wright cen- ter; Renner, quarterback; Sweet, full- back; and Smithers and Everhardus, halfbacks. FIELDING H. YOST, staunch cit- izen and arch Republican that he is, is greatly burdened by the care of the nation these days after the receipt of a letter from a friend. "After consulting reliable statis- tics I find that you and I and an- other friend are carrying the weight of the nation's work," the letter said. "There are 124 million people in the United States. Fifty million of those are eligible for pensions and 60 mil- lion are disqualified from working by child labor and similar statutes or for working in the government, and there are, according to the best re- ports, 13,999,997 unemployed. That leaves just three persons to carry on the work of the country, and I'm get- ting tired." Mr. Yost is tired too. .F % HE STAFF concensus on Satur- day's football games is a vicious institution whose only virtue is the anonimity of the selectors. Vicious as it may be, however, at the re- quest of the staff as a wholetthe prac- tice which was popular in varying degrees during the past two seasons is taken up again this week. Michigan is given a slight edge over Indiana, six to five, in the selec- tions, and the sports editor who re- members the shirt he lost last week is not broadcasting the fact that he again is picking the Wolverines. Unanimous votes are given to Pennsylvania over Yale, Michigan State over Kansas, Notre Dame over Wisconsin, Kentucky over Georgia Tech, Ohio State over Drake, Chi- cago over Western State (Michigan) Columbia over Rutgers, Pittsburgh over West Virginia, and Tulane over Florida. The staff concensus: Michigan (6) - Indiana (5). Purdue (9) -Fordham (2). Holy Cross (9) - Harvard (2). Pennsylvania (11) - Yale (0). Michigan State (11) - Kansas (0). Minnesota (8) - Nebraska (3).

Hoosiers HoldI Light Practice Before Leaving{ McMillin Schedules Stop In Ypsilanti Tomorrow Morning_ BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 10. - (P) - With a light 'checking-up' schedule for Friday afternoon before leaving for Ann Arbor the Indiana University football team was to wind up its heavy preparation today for the opening game of its Conference season Saturday against Michigan.{ Anxious to utilize every possiblel period for a rehearsal of plays and to groom his charges for better ex- ecution of the intricate fiveman back- field formation, Coach Bo McMillan scheduled the departure of the Hoos- iers for Friday evening. The team will stop Saturday morning in Ypsi- lanti, before going to the Michigan, stadium. The game Saturday, opening the Big Ten campaign for both Indiana and Michigan, will be the ninth meet- ing of the two schools on the grid- iron. Michigan has won seven of the eight previous encounters, Indiana's lone victory coming in 1928, when a 6-0 triumph was eked out. Near All-American May Lose Backfield Post To SophQmore COLUMBUS, O. Oct. 10. - OP) - A year ago Dick Heekin, a big, hard driving back playing for Ohio State, was one of the outstanding ball car- riers in the Western Conference and. a month ago he was the Bucks out- standing candidate for All-America honors. But football fortunes at Ohio, where Coach Francis A. Schmidt seeks a Big Ten and mythical na- tional grid championship by use of streamlined football tactics, rise and fall with alarming speed and today Heekin is battling to keep a sopho- more from replacing him in the line- up. The sophomore is "Jumping' Joe" Williams, a stockily built boy, who in his first intercollegiate test gave evi- dence of being 167 pounds of football dynamite. Shoved into Ohio's opening game against Kentucky late in the contest, Wililams pulled together a listless team and made it click in champion- ship manner. He carried the ball sev- en times and reeled off yards. His seven efforts gained 94 yards and led to two touchdowns. He was the dif- ference between a ragged eleven and one which clicked with clock-like pre- cision. Schmidt is skeptical about playing 11 Linksmen Remain In University Golf Finals Eleven qualifiers remain in the final 36-hole play-off of the Uni- versity golf championship which is to be decided today and to- morrow on the University links.

By RICHARD SIDDER None of the members of the coach-+ ing staff is as gifted as Wally Weber+ when it comes to drawing everyday pictures. Wally has a vocabulary all of his own which he uses almost ex- clusively on his freshman football charges. His latest blast was oc- casioned by the failures of his yearl- ing backs to handle the Varsity prop- erly. "What's a matter with you guys?" he roared. "Every time you see that ball coming and a couple of ends waiting to cut you down, you see yourself in a . long black box with six silver handles headin' a slow pa- rade. Your knees get a little weak don't they? Well, I want somebody in their who's gonna run those punts back 60 yards. Michigan State done it." Hopefuls Besiege Mentor He was immediately besieged by eager freshmen who plaintively pleaded, "Lemme in coach, I can do it." One candidate was a little doubt- ful about his ability to handle punts because "I'm a guard," but he was willing to try the job because it was kind of cold standing around doing nothing. After one or two substitutions, or- der was restored, but one man refused to have his enthusiasm quenched. He was a 140-pound end whose chief, in fact only, asset was his spirit. His battle cry was, "Put me in, not Wally, and watch me smear 'em. I'm afraid of those mugs just because they're bigger than me." But Wally realized that his heart wasn't enough to hold off the fast-charging Varsity backs. Later in the afternoon while par- ticipating in a dummy scrimmage Weber's Vocabulary Is Aid To Spirit Of Freshman Grid Squad li against the first stringers, the feath- erweight flanker came under the eye of Head Coach Kipke when his ex- uberance was breaking up the scrim- mage because he refused to be taken out of the play when touched, which is all that is required in a drill of this sort. When practice ended he strolled happily off the field mutter- ing to himself, "Well, I guess I showed 'em. "I gave Kipke an eyeful too." Incidents such as these are becom- ing commonplace on Ferry Field since the good-natured Weber was ap- pointed head coach of the freshmen gridders. During the practice ses- sions he roams about the field offer- ing advice and criticism to his charges. His voice can be heard at the remotest corners of the field as he urges the yearlings to "hit" 'em hard, but clean." Freshmen Smear Varsity As a result of Wally's inspiring presence, the first year men have outdone themselves at times and ac- tually outplayed the Varsity. Web- er's first squad of 25 picked men is being thoroughly drilled in the Mich- igan system of play, so that when they report next year they will be prepared for more advanced teaching. In the past it was the policy to have the yearlings learn the plays of teams that. Michigan would meet on the next Saturday.
