THE MICHIGAN DAILY Illinois-Iowa Game Outstanding In Today's Big Ten Football Ohio State To Face Indiana At Bloomington Buckeyes Heavily Favored Over Bo McMillin's Weak Hoosiers GophersPlay N. U. Chicago Meets Wisconsin As Purdue And Michigan Go Outside Big Ten CHICAGO, Oct. 25. - (JP) - The Big Ten football title picture will start to take definite form tomorrow in at least two of the four battles on the conference schedule. The top game of the list, Iowa's Hawkeyes at Illinois, will account for the elimination of one ranking contender. Minnesota makes its first conference start against Northwes- tern's improving eleven at Minneap- olis, while Ohio State seeks its sec- ond league triumph at the expense of Indiana on the Hoosiers' play- ground. Iowa Shows Power Iowa did not rate as a contender before the season started, lining up rather with darkhorses. But with Oze Simmons, star Negro back, re- gaining his old form, which played a big part in the Hawkeye's stock- boosting triumph over Colgate, Ossie Solem's eleven moved up several notches. The Illini, with almost the same team that lost only one game last year, lost to Ohio University in an opening day upset, but quickly scrambled back into favor by trounc- ing Southern California. The struggle at Champaign will find Iowa's superior weight and run- ning attack matched against Illinois' small, but remarkably agile line and highly developed passing game, with neither possessing anything to make it the favorite. Minnesota will be a lively favorite to overcome Northwestern's hard working outfit, but with Glenn Seid- el, its captain and quarterback, out because of an injury, might be the victim of a big upset. The Wildcats will be at full strength for the first time of the season, and showing as much improvement as they did be- tween their battles with Purdue and Ohio State, promise to give the 1934 champions a thorough testing. Indiana Tackles Ohio Indiana will be keyed up tighter than the main spring of a dollar watch for Ohio State, but does not figure to achieve anything so stun- ning as a victory over the big, bad Buckeyes. The day is likely to turn up a profit for either Chicago or Wiscon- sin in the form of a first conference victory. The Maroons, playing at home and possessed of a more varied attack, appear likely to cach in on the opportunity. Purdue and Michigan, sharers of first place in the conference stand- ing, will look after the intersectional business. The Boilermakers, unde- feated and unscored on, should de- feat Carnegie Tech at Lafayette, while Michigan, showing improve- ment weekly, probably will give Co- lumbia a busy afternoon at New York. Michigan State Hopes To Beat Washinton U. EAST LANSING, Oct. 25. - ) - Michigan State College's football team prepared tonight to stake its hopes for victory in tomorrow's game on a forward passing attack that it hopes will overbalance the power- house line plays of Washington Uni- versity. Washington arrived from St. Louis today, 30 strong, and took over the stadium for practice. It uncovered a fast-charging line attack that boded another unpleasant afternoon for Spartan forwards, five of whom went to the hospital after last week's game with Boston College that spoiled State's undefeated record. State will institute a new proce- dure - the introduction of the teams at kickoff time. The teams will line up in opening formation and each player will step forward a pace as the public address system calls his name. CKLW And WWJ To Carry Columbia Game The Michigan-Columbia foot- ball game which begins at 2:30 p.m. (E.S.T.) today will be an- nounced by two local radio sta- tions. CKLW will hook up with the Mutual Broadcasting System at 2:15 p.m. to bring the broad- cast direct from Baker Field while WWJ will bring the game to Mich- igan listeners at 2:45 p.m. Grapplers May Meet New York Athletic Club The Varsity wrestling team has re- ceived an offer to meet the strong New York Athletic Club grapplers during Christmas vacation, accord- ing to Coach Cliff Keen. Keen stated that the meet was not definitely ap- proved as yet and there is still some uncertainty about going. The Winged Foot aggregation is coached by a former protege of Keen's, Merle Thrush, who wrestled at Michigan for a year before going to New York. His team has a repu- tation for being one of the strongest in the country and the Wolverines will have their work cut out for them. Practice is going on every day in the Intramural Building under the direction of Captain Wally Heaven- rich. Keen is looking for some more material to bolster up the 175-pound division which was left without a grappler when Abe Levine failed to re- turn to school. Tall Men A re A Problem For CoachCap pon Last year if one could think of no other adjective to describe the Mich- igan basketball team, he just called it tall and felt justified, for with the exception of Rudness hardly a man on the squad was much below the six foot mark. Needless to say, how- ever, height proved to be not an ad- vantage but only a characteristic. Has Plenty of Height Again this season Coach Cappon will have plenty of height. The prob- lem is to design a system that can take full advantage of the six footers and still keep within the new pivot play ruling which tends to eliminate the old deliberate style that gave the big player the edge. Too often, in trying to take advantage of size, speed is sacrificed and the team is in worse condition than it was before. John Gee with his six feet eight inches is the tallest man on the squad. Taking into consideration the great improvement he showed last year over his freshman performance and the forward strides he has made in gen- eral athletic ability since the base- ball season, he can be counted on as a real asset. John Townsend, the sophomore star whom Coach Ray Fisher called the best freshman basketball player he has ever coached, is only four inches shorter than Gee. While he is not especially fast in moving down the -floor, he travels with surprising speed on defense, especially under the bas- ket. His offensive ability centers largely around his clever passing and ball handling. . Four Six Footers Capt. Chelso Tomagno, Matt Pat- anelli, Earl Meyers, and Dick Evans, all lettermen top the six foot mark. These men play an excellent defensive game and handle the ball capably. With the improvement that can na- turally be expected they should give Michigan strong defense. A welcome addition to the squad will be Earl Townsend, brother of John and a transfer from Depauw, who is six feet three inches and has specialized in the pivot shot. Al- though both brothers have been most effective as centers, they have also filled the forward position. Cappon will also have some other players coming up from the freshman team who fit in the six foot class as well as John Jablonski, who was in- eligible last year, but will be back on the squad this season. HERE'S LARGE 'SHORT STUFF' Robert Stout, Arkansas University reserve tackle who stands six feet, seven inches, is "Short Stuff" to his teammates. He weighs 215 pounds and comes from Okmulgee, Okla. Iowa Back Who Will Test Illini Defense Today I Mystery, Traditi Hand In Ha By FRED BUESSER1 Mystery, superstition, and tradi- tion still ride hand in hand with mod- ern day football if today's gridiron battle between Michigan's Wolverine1 and Columbia's Lion is any indica-! tion. The thought that football as itt is played at the present time, is de-1 void of the mystic element can be no more aptly proven wrong than by1 observing the parade of incidents1 which precede or surround today's game. 1 Case 1.-Bill Renner was busily en-1 gaged with the tailor in Van Boven's when enter one, Harry Kipke by name, in quest of a new hat. Viewing himself before the mirror arrayed in the very latest chapeau, Kip was surprised to see smiling Danny Hul- grave behind him. There we have Michigan's coach, captain and man- ager - all buying one hat. Kipke selected the one he wanted amid con- siderable banter, and proceeded to dispose of his old grey one. Renner and Hulgrave suddenly looked as- kance and reminded Kip that he had worn the hat to both games which Michigan had won this year. Kip's face dropped one mile down at the remark and he was about to counter- mand the order when Hulgrave saved the day by offering *to take the old hat to New York and to the game in his own suitcase. Renner and Kipke agreed, thankful that the situation has been solved, and the trio left con- tented. Ritchie Not Superstitious Ray Roberts was passing out the itinerary slips to the members of the Varsity squad in the locker room just previous to the team's departure for New York Thursday evening. The slips contained among other things the number of the berths the players were to occupy on the pullman. Con- siderable objections were heard against allotting number ten, lower, to anyone, but Stark Ritchie finally agreed that the murder in Mary Roberts Rhineheart's "Lower Ten" had little liklihood of being repeated and consented to brave the supersti- tion which has been held concerning lower ten on any car for a numberof years -and several locker room oc- cupants shook their heads dubiously. Case 3.-Lou Little, although his team was well beaten last Saturday by a Penn eleven which had had an unimpressive record, is regarded as almost a superhuman inspirer of men, not only by Michigan players, but by the football world ingeneral.dHis uncanny power to raise a mediocre team to a point where it will not be on Still Ride nd With Football beaten is one of the most remarkable accomplishments ever recorded in sport. When Columbia was chosen as a Rose Bowl opponent for a Stanford team which had mopped up the country in 1933, gridiron prognostiga- tors throughout the football world de- scribed the game as 'Lions being led to the slaughter!' Columbia had beaten a host of second rate teams, several by close scores. Stanford had triumphed convincingly over the toughest opposition in the country. It was called a very, very poor team for a Rose Bowl game. But when the sun set on the Tour- nament of Roses that New Year's day, it was Lou Little's little band of Lions that had hung up a 7-0 victory over a great Stanford team. The old master had done the miraculous, he had beaten a stronger team with a weaker team because of a mystic per- sonality which had the power to in- spire men to the physical and emo- tional heights. Today the same Al Barabas who led the Lions to their great victory in the Columbia backfield. The Co- lumbia team is not considered a strong one, but because of his pres- ence and because Lou Little will be there to inspire them, Michigan play- ers and coaches fear the Lions almost as much as they do the Ohio State juggernaut - and that's a whole lot. Helene Mayer To Conpete For Germany In Olympics BERLIN. Oct. 25. - R) - Helene Mayer, famous German-Jewish wom- en fencer, has accepted an invitation to compete for Germany in the 1936 Olympics at Berlin, Dr. Theodor Le- wald, president of the German Olympic Committee, announced to- day. Proudly he displayed the following cable from California signed only with the letter "H." "Sickness delayed answering you and Tschammer (Hans von Tscham- mer-Osten, German sports commis- sioner). Acceptance left yesterday. Love." Miss Mayer, who has lived in Cal- ifornia for several years, won the Olympic fencing championship at Los Angeles in 1932.

Up Basketball To Get Degree Although the stait of the 1935-'36 basketball season is a month and a half away, Coach Franklin C. Cappon has already been given cause to worry over his prospective lineup with the announcement that Dick Joslin, who has won two major court awards, is through with the gamesand will de- vote his time to studies. Joslin's father notified Cappon that Dick would not be able to play this winter since he was intending to work toward a master's degree and wanted to obtain as good a record as possible. Joslin was a valuable man on last year's squad and had been counted on for the present team. Coach Cappon is drilling his varsity candi- dates four nights a week in the In- tramural building. ALABAMA'S RECORD GOOD Up to the 1935 football season, Alabama's Crimson Tide had played 317 games, won 217 of them, tied 20 and lost 80. Incidentally, the Ala- bama team has not lost an opening game since 1903, when Vanderbilt tri- umphed, 30 to 0. College- I _ _ _ _ ANOTHER WINTER WILL SOON BE HERE WITH ITS ENJOYABLE QSO's.
