SAURDAY", " iNVMBER9" 19THE MICHIGAN DAILY Undefeated Records At Stake As Minnesota Battles Iowa Purple Battles C Irish; Purdue PlaysBadgers Ohio State Meets Chicago In March Toward Big Ten Championship CHICAGO, Nov. 8. - () - The big three of the Big Ten gridiron title struggle, Minnesota, Ohio State and Michigan, charge out tomorrow to defend their positions, and there is nothing in the evidence to indicate they shouldn't succeed. The Gophers, who haven't dropped a decision since the final game of the 1932 season when Michigan won, 3 to 0 on Harry Newman's field goal, ap- parently face the toughest job of the trio in meeting Iowa at Iowa City. The Hawkeyes were held to a 6-6 tie by Indiana last week, but the field was muddy, and with a dry track, Oze Simmons, Dick Crayne and the rest of the Iowa backs may be able to cause Minnesota some inconvenience at least. Gophers Are Favored Minnesota, which has gathered mo- mentum with each game this sea- son, has earned the right to be called the favorite, and anything but a Gopher victory would be an upset. Minnesota's long defeatless span cov- ers 21 games, including four ties in 1933. Ohio State, its dream of national championship honors shattered in a few mad minutes by Notre Dame last week, is expected to bounce back at the expense of Chicago's brave little band. On form, the Buckeyes figure up as definitely superior, unless Coach Francis Schmidt's aggregation has failed to recover from last week's shock. The Maroons, however, fortified by two weeks of practice for the test, will be at their best form of the sea- son. Coach Clark Shaughnessy has, had ample time to augment his of- fense by the use of Omar Fareed as a forward passer, giving the opposition someone beside Jay Berwanger to, watch. Sharing attention with the Minne- sota-Iowa battle, Northwestern and Notre Dame will have it out again at) South Bend. The Irish, of course, will be favored, but a letdown as the1 result of last week's heroic work att Ohio State might help the Wildcats1 to their first victory over Notre Dame since 1901. Purdue and Wisconsin, neither in- volved in the championship battle,j tangle at Madison, while Indiana en- gages in a little intersectional busi- ness at Maryland. Hamtramck Back May Fill Renner's Shoes Next Year By RICHARD SIDDER Passing has always been an integral part of the Michigan grid system, so far-sighted observers are looking around for talent to replace Captain Bill Renner on next year's team. At present Johnny Smithers seems to have the inside track, but if some- one else could do the passing, Johnny's fine blocking would be made available. For the past week the physical education freshmen have been run- ning Illinois plays against the Varsity and one man, Alex Loiko, has stood out for his fine passing and all- around play. All-Around Player According to Wally Weber he can do everything well. He is a good punter, an excellent blocker, an able pass receiver, a very fine passer and his high knee action and change of pace marks him as a bad man to bring down. He can play at any backfield post or at end and still feel perfectly at home. When ques- tioned as to whether he preferred any particular position he answered, "As long as it's football, I don't care where they put me." Alex is a product of Hamtramck high school in suburban Detroit where he was coached by Hal Shields, one of the leading high school coaches in the country. In his jun- ior year he was named as a flanker on the All-State team. All-State in 1934 The following season found a dearth of backfield material at Ham- tramck, so Loiko volunteered to try his hand at the halfback post. As a result of his stellar play, which brought his team the city\ champion- ship, Alex was again selected to an All-State post, this time in the back- field. It is true that men who flash a considerable amount of ability in the fall are liable to fade out or be shoved into obscurity by better players dur- ing spring practice and in their soph- omore year, but it is the guess of most people who have -seen Loiko in Today's Games r .

Tennis Coach Names 10 Men i f For '36 Squad Marquette Is Favored Over Spartan Team All Hilltopper Regulars In Good Condition For Tilt Before Large Crowd EAST LANSiNG, Nov. 8.- (k') - The Marquette University football team, that has forward passed its way to victory over everything it has met this season, arrives today for Satur- day's homecoming game with the Spartans of Michigan State. It was a defiant troop of Spartans that found itself on the short end of the odds for the games that will dedicate Macklin Field before a ca- pacity crowd of 20,000 spectators. They clicked in high gear at last nights' heavy duty practice, raining accurate forward passes across the field as they prepared to "fight fire with fire." MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 8. - (A')- A serious, confident squad of 34 Mar- quette gridmen rolled eastward today for Saturday's game with Michigan State, the season's first real test of Marquette's calibre. Thesquad's physical condition was better than had been expected. All regulars were in uniform for a last home practice beforemdeparture last night. Coach Frank J. Murray plan- ned a brief drill session at East Lans- ing today. Roger Lumb, regular tackle, and Myles Reif, veteran center, who had been on the training table earlier in the week, went through a long dum- my scrimmage with others yesterday. Instead of the usual gayety, the squad was composed and drilled sternly, cognizant that for the first time this season its undefeated and untied record really was at stake. After Wednesday's perfet practice, the squad presented a contrast in handling new defensive assignments. Some seemed uncertain of their tasks, but this caused no undue worry, the condition being attributed to pre- game tenseness. I-M OPEN SATURDAY The Intramural Building will be open Saturday night from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. for members and guests of the Outing Club, Wom- en's Physical Education Club, Badminton Club, Men's Physical Education Club, and Intramural Extension Class. The regular fee will be charged. Tradition Will Play Big Part In Naming Victor Of Game Today Coach John 'Johnstone named his permanent varsity and freshman ten- nis squad roster Monday. The varsity squad is composed of 10 men, four of whom were members of the fresh- man squad last year. Six men make up the present freshman squad. Those named on the Varsity squad by Coach Johnstone are Leonard Ver- dier, Jack Thom, Mischa Barowski, Ted Fraser, Captain Howie Kahn, Ted Rodriguez, Jarvis Dean, Miller Sherwood, Cecil Young, and Jesse Flick. Kahn, Rodriguez, Dean, and Sherwood were letter men last year. Thom, Barowski, Fraser, and Verdier are sophomores, all of whom won their numerals on the freshman team last year. Those comprising the freshman squad are: EddiePayne, Grand Rap- ids; Art Bullock, Grand Rapids; Bill Mills, Grosse Pointe; Sam Low, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Bill Smith, Mus- kegon; and Ed. Morris, Youngstown, 0. Coach John Johnstone expressed the opinion that this year's squad of yearlings is the most promising he has had in a number of years. Coach Johnstone has been drilling his men daily in the Intramural Gym. The practice sessions will continue all this winter in preparation for a stiff campaign next spring. -Associated Press Photo.

Aside from call- ing the plays, Henry will also do some passing and ball-carrying. I-M Sports I Theta Chi defeated Phi Beta Delta in a hotly contested speedball game Thursday afternoon to annex the fa- vored position in the tourney. Scor- ing sprees in the second and final periods enabled Theta Chi to emerge on the long end of a 12-8 score. Nine tallies were made from penalty kicks and the victors obtained six of them with an accurate display of booting. Bill Wells was the high scorer with five points as he and Rod and Doc Howell starred for the winners. Her- man Fishman and Leonard Meldman were best for the losers. TRAVEL TO FLORIDA The Hun School crew of Princeton will go to Florida during the Christ- mas holidays to row against the In- dian River School at Indian River. By FRED BEUSSER Tradition versus relative ability will be the topic of today's grid bat- tle between Illinois and Michigan in the opinion of many of the country's leading football experts. Michigan and Illinois have come toI recognize in one another rivals whose strength can never be accurately pre- dicted.# Scrappy, light Illinois teams that haven't done a thing all year make it a practice to attack strong Michi- gan teams with a ferocious deceptiv- ness whch has more than once caused the Wolverines considerable em- barassment. In the same manner, Michigan teams have entered games against the Zuppke men with their famed prayers conceeded as the only possible weapon with which they could escape overwhelming slaughter. Watch 'Flea Flicker' Today Illinois' biggest threat lies in the tradition which has grown up around Illinois-Michigan games. De- spite the vaunted Illini attack with its spread and its 'Flea Flicker,' de- spite the redoubtable Les Lindberg who will do the quarterbacking, de- spite the two senior tackles Arvo An- tilla and Captain Chuck Gilbraith, Illinois has little chance of beating Michigan according to many ex- perienced observers. Bob Zuppke, the crafty mentor who has been guiding the gridiron destin- ies of Illini. teams for a good many years, has developed a habit of placing so much emphasis on his strong points that few teams have been able to ob- serve his weak ones. This year Zup has ballyhooed his fast, light team and once again warned opponents of the possibilities of the 'Flea Flicker.' But Zup hasn't said much of any- thing about his defense, and the reason is that so far this season the Illini haven't had any. Defense Weak The nation's fraternity of sports writers joined together in acclaiming the Illini one of the country's leading teams when Zuppke took his squad out to the coast to shellack a heavy Southern California eleven. 19-0. But after every other team on the coast had beaten the Trojans, the sports writers began to recollect that Illinois beat Southern California on breaks, two blocked punts to be spe- cific. Illinois then proceeded to drop its Conference opener to Iowa, 19-0. But the interesting fact is that the Hawks in addition to three touch- downs made 233 yards and 12 first downs by rushing. Last week a North- western team which has not been an offensive powerhouse, beat the Zuppke men, 10-3, and in so doing made 253 yards and 14 first downs from scrimmage. Today it is the defense which is Zuppke's weak point. Michigan has a capable offense that ought to keep the Illini busy all afternoon. While Les Lindebrg is a dangerous back and will be a constant threat, he can hardly be considered in the same category as Al Barabas and Bill Kur- lish, both of whom the Wolverines have managed to subdue.
