THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Pitt, Penn, Fordham Picked To in Thanksgiving Gri d Tilts Old Rivals Meet In Traditional Annual Games Rams Expected To Upset Unbeaten N.Y.U. Eleven In Feature Contest Cornell Underdogs Alabama Given Edge In Tussle With. Improving VanderbiltSquad (By The Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 27.- (A) - Rest- ing faith in the form charts (a slender reed if there ever was one), the Thanksgiving day -football program lines up about as follows to this per- haps astigmatic observer: Fordham-New York University: The Violets, athletically pure but no longer blushing, have a .chance to wind up an undefeated and untied season. If they win they'll turn an attentive ear to any post-season bids but the dope points to Fordham, beat- en only once in a bone-cracking schedule. Pitt-Carnegie: There's nothing wrong with Carnegie's defense, but the Plaid hardly can hope to hold the Panthers wholly in check. Pitt gets the call. Brown Weak Penn-Cornell: One of those tradi- tional affairs in which Cornell can be counted on for its best. On the basis of developments thus far, how ever, Penn must be the selection. Brown-Colgate: Colgate, easily. Temple-Bucknell: On the rebound from the Villanova disaster, Temple, decisively. Catholic-North Carolina State: Well take Catholic and hope for the best. George Washington-North Dakota State: George Washington, but those Dakotans probably will be tough. Maryland-Syracuse: Syracuse is crippled but seems to rate a slight edge. Vanderbilt-Alabama: The Com- modores improve steadily, but we'll string along with Alabama. Kentucky-Tennessee: Not much choice. Kentucky. North Carolina-Virginia: North Carolina. Nebraska Favored Virginia, Military-Virginia Tech: V.M.I.'s defense seems much the bet- ter, and Tech gets the call in what annually is a grade-A toss-up. Nebraska-Oregon State: No basis for comparison, but this vote goes to Nebraska, the home team. Oklahoma U.-Oklahoma A. and M.: The University. Kansas-Missouri: Kansas, timidly. Texas A. & M. -Texas-A flier on the Aggies. St. Mary's-Washington State: St. Mary's looks too good. Loyola-West Virginia: The Moun- taineers will find Loyola's rugged de- fense tough to crack. A shade for Loyola. Xavier-Centenary: Xavier. Denver-Colorado: Colorado on the theory the Buffaloes still will be mad over that Wyoming upset. Utah-Utah State: On the toss of a coin, Utah. Texas Tech.-Detroit: Detroit. s Olympic Call Forces Bietilak Out Of School Walter Bietila, one of the six U.S. Olympic entries in the Ski Jump in Germany this winter, left the Uni- versity yesterday to begin training inl Ishpeming, his home town. Walter, 19-year-old sophomore, is scheduled to sail for Germany January 3rd. He plans to train all next month with his four brothers, all of whom have gained national recognition as ski-riders. His younger brother, Paul holds the junior ski-jump record of 208 feet. Bietila will be unable to resume his studies at the University until next fall, as the Winter Olympics will not get under way until late in February, after the second semester has started. This may prove to be an unfortunate consequence for the Varsity baseball team, which might have used Bietila in its infield this spring. Chicago Tribune Poll Hardly Necessary Here Bold headlines in yesterday's Chicago Tribune flashed the news that Bill Renner had been selected as the most valuable player on the Michigan team. The reason that Ann Arbor papers didn't carry the story was that everyone in Ann Arbor and a great many people outside of Ann Arbor knew that Bill Renner was Michigan's most valuable player. But The Tribune annually awards a trophy to the Western Conference player who is judged most valuable in the Big Ten, and so asked the Wolverine squad to vote on the question. Out of 25 ballots cast, Renner re- ceived 23 votes, one of which was not his own. Varsity Cagers To Play Calvin Monday Night Townsend Brothers, Gee, Rudness And Tomagno Scheduled To Start The Michigan basketball squad continued preparation for the open- ing game against the Calvin College five at Grand Rapids Monday night, yesterday, going through the usual offensive drills and scrimmages. Coach Cappon is not taking any chances, remembering last year's game with the Calvin five which Michigan won-in the closing minutes 25 to 22 after trailing 18 to 7 at the half, and is working his quintet hard in an effort to develop a high scoring machine that will not have trouble with the Grand Rapids team. Degroot, who caused the Wolver- ines so much trouble in the 1935 opener, has graduated but Broene, veteran forward and center, will be in the lineup along with Harkema, a capable ball-handler, and Don Green, who scored nine points to tie with Broene for scoring honors in the Calvin opener against Battle Creek College last week. Coach Cappon had the same first [team on the floor yesterday that he has been using in recent weeks and the combination which will start in the opener. It is made up of John and Earl Townsend at forwards, John Gee at the center post, and George Rudness and Capt. Chelso Tomagno at guards. John Townsend and Gee do most of the pivot work with the other three men working from behind the foul circle. Neither Earl Meyers, high-scorer on last year's squad, or Matt Pat- anelli, Varsity guard last season, has reported for practice yet. They will probably begin working out next week and must be consdered before anything more than a tentative first team can be selected. Ray Fisher To Cut Frosh Court Squad Still without the services of the yearling football men, Ray Fisher's freshman basketball squad, number- ing 36 at present, will continue to work out nightly in Waterman Gym. After the gridders report the squad will be cut to twenty men, and prac- tice will be held in the Intramural builing. The present squad, which has been selected from a host of aspiring fresh- men, includes: Miller, Mitchell, In- gello, Read, Brown, Cisco, Dewitt, Nelson, Schlott, Reiter, Weaver, Long, Shull, Edwards, McCraith, McDonald, Barker, Flynn, Pietrowski, Jordan, Henderson, Hagemeyer, Young, Kes- wick, Newton, Bun, Beebe, O'Connell, McRay, Weinstein, Soboroff, Payne, Warshaw, Divman, Momers, Smick, and Low. fisted a few of the Fur- nishings you might be needing GLOVES by Gates - Mills Pigskin, Cape, Suede, Wool and fur-lined, and knit wool.

Theqesthon now bothering officials is not the Stanford team, which will represent we stern footbaII for the third consecutive year, but rather the selection of an eastern opponent. With Minnesota and Princeton, the logical teams to make the long jaunt definitely prohibited from playing post season games, officials are in a quandry. Perhaps precedent will be broken this year and either a team from the southwest or a beaten and tied Notre Dame team will get the bid.
