THE MICHIGAN DAILY Varsity Shows Increased Pep As Game Nears Earl Meyers Appears At Right End; Joe Rinaldi Benched By Cold Prodiguous tales of a superteam are drifting down from the Michigan State camp at East Lansing, but side- line observers at Ferry Field during the past two days are by no means pessimistic over Michigan's chances against the Spartans in Saturday's game. Enthusiasm hit a new high for the season yesterday afternoon as Coach Harry Kipke's first-string eleven went through a defensive scrimmage against State plays as exhibited by a freshman team under the guidance of Assistant Coach Ray Courtright, and showed more drive and deter- ination than has been seen at any other practice session this fall. Coach Courtright scouted the Spartans last Saturday when they swamped Grinnell College 41 to 0 in a flurry of speedy runs and ac- curate passes. Yesterday's drill, which closed with an offensive scrimmage against a second team of freshman, saw Earl Meyers reap the reward of his good showing in last Saturday's scrim- mage and assume the right end post which two weeks ago was considered a toss-up between Mike Savage and Art Valpey. Meyers, who was the out- standing player on last season's bas- ketball team, came close to a starting berth as a sophomore last year, but injuries hindered him throughout the season. He never played high-school football. Joe Rinaldi, conceded the starting job as center, was kept out of uni- form for the second day in succes- sion as the coaches refused to take chances with his cold. Bob Amrine, junior letterman, was at the pivot position throughout yesterday's drill, and seems to have recovered from the knee injury which put him in the hospital two weeks ago. The rest of the line was composed of /Matt Patanelli at left end, John Viergever and Melvin Kramer at the tackles, and Frank Bissell and Bud Hanshue at the guard positions. Captain Bill Renner was at quarter, Cedric Sweet at full, John Smithers at righthalf, and Chris Everhardus and Stark Ritchie alternated at the left halfback tasks. Ritchie is still showing some effects of his early- season ankle injury, but will un- doubtedly see action against State Saturday, with Everhardus due to get the starting call.+ Youngest Cub Star Schmidt 'Foresees' New Pass Attack; Michigan Uses It Coach Francis Schmidt, football mentor at Ohio State, states in an article written by him in this week's "Saturday Evening Post" that he ex- pects to see a new development of the lateral pass this season; name- ly, a lateraf following an intercept- ed forward. It might be interesting for Coach Schmidt to know that in a recent scrimmage between Michigan's Vars- ity and reserve teams this play was successfully attempted twice, each time for a considerable gain.

Phil Cavaretta, 19-year-old Cub first sacker, has startled experts throughout the season with his seAn- sational play which has added much to the Chicago attack and may prove an important factor in the outcome of the World Series which opens in Detroit today. Ti gers - Chicao Open Series In DetroitToday (Continued from Page 1) There's a general feeling that the wild scenes of 1934, when the bleach- erites drove Joe Medwick out of the final game with a vegetable barrage after the Card left fielder swapped spikes with Marvin Owen at third base, will not be repeated this year. Baseball men in general feel that World Series action slipped somewhat from its usual high plane in last year's knock-down, drag-out battling, and very definite admonitions are out from the powers that be not to let it happen again. Probable starting lineups: Schoolboy And Warneke Alike In Late Season Mound Form Freshman Grid S quad Boasts 168_Hopefuls With freshman football practice only two days underway 168 men have already been issued complete uniforms. According to Henry Hatch, equipment manager, this is the larg- est squad of yearlings to report for a Wolverine team in many years. The coaching staff has inaugurated a new system of directing the fresh- man squad this year whereby Wally Weber, Varsity backfield coach, will assume leadership in drilling the first year men. The remainder of the freshman staff will be composed of those coaches who will not be needed for Varsity instruction. Coaches Ray Fisher and Ray Courtright and part time Coaches Bill Borgmann and Carl Savageswill alternate as freshman mentors. This year's freshman squad is com- prised of many former prep school stars, all-state men, winners of innu- merable honors and awards on prev- ious fields of football wars. Whether or not these men will go on to greater fame with Michigan will riot depend on their accomplishments achieved before they reached Ferry Field but will depend on what they do before the eyes of the coaching staff this year and after.- Practice the first two days has been confined to fundamentals, such as blocking and tackling and warm-up exercises. Passing and punting has been stressed and will continue to be as they are always the primary fea- tures of the Michigan system of play. Yesterday a picked freshman team was sent in to run State plays against the Varsity. Periscopic Measuring Device Fails To Work The engineers, the submarine men, and a few surveyors got together and devised a new fangled system of per- iscopic measuring for yardage in foot- ball. Some equipment was sent to Ann Arbor for a tryout but by the time all the calculations and lining up was made the team had either made another first down or else the ball had changed hands and was headed in the opposite direction. The idea was good but the thing was about twice as slow and compli- cated as the old method. On each end of the ten yard measuring chain was a periscope or telescope with a visual range of 180 degrees. The chainmen lined up the ball and both ends of the field so that they were at right angles, then they were sure of having the ball and the measure in direct line with each other. But by the time the end of the field was located in the periscope the ball was underway again. Consequently the linemen were at one end of the field and the playing at the other. WANT TRACKMEN Coach Ken Doherty issued the first call for freshmen candidates for track and cross country yes- terday. All who are interested are requested to report to Coach Do- herty any afternoon this week at the Yost Field House. Matnien Start 1935 Season With_60 Men The Michigan MVarsity wrestling team will begin practice next Mon- day under the direction of Captain Wally Heavenrich, it was announced yesterday by Coach Cliff Keen. Keen. who is also a Varsity football line coach, will work with the team when- ever he is able until football season is over, when he will assume full charge. The practices are open to any eli- gible student and Keen stressed the fact that experience is not necessary. He pointed out that he has had only two experienced wrestlers report to him since he has coached at Michi- gan. What will be required is the ability to work hard and attend prac- tice regularly. A squad of over 60 men is expected to report to Captain Heavenrich when practice does open but frequent cts will be made in order to bring the squad down to a trained unit. The spring training season which was instituted last year has produced sev- eral likely looking candidates who with last year's veterans and the strong freshman squad should form a strong nucleus for the 1936 team. Keen especially wants candidates for the lighter weight positions which have suffered from a dearth of ma- terial in recent years. Last year's team was obliged to default several times owing to this fact and Keen is anxious to prevent a repetition of a simlilar misfortune this year. DETROIT, Oct. 1. - With betting odds on the World Series going up and down in thermometer fashion and with everybody in a state of excite- ment over the outcome, two of the calmest people are the two who should have the biggest case of jitters. And those two are Lynwood Rowe, the starting hurler for the Tigers and Lonnie Warneke, number one Cub pitcher who will take the mound in the opener at Navin Field tomorrow of ternoon. The Schoolboy is confident that his early season jinx is over and that his pitching arm is limbered up so that he will be able to hold the Chicago- ans in hand. The only thing is that Rowe has always been rated as a mid- summer hot weather tosser and with this cool spell still hanging on there is a possibility that his arm might not be as limber as it should be. Slow In Startil At the beginning of the season Rowe couldn't get started but after the warm July weather struck he snapped out of it and has raised his pitching average so that he ended up as one of the ranking pitchers in the American League. Last year at series time the weather was warm and balmy and Rowe did well. Fair wea- ther is predicted for the game and the probability is that he will be in good shape. Warneke on the other hand has been a steady pitcher although he put on a spurt with the rest of the Cubs and helped a long way in ex- tending their 21 game streak. Last week against the Cardinals he pitched BASEBALL'S BIG EXPENSE The world champion St. Louis Car- dinals spend about $13,000 on base- balls alone during each season ac- cording to a recent estimate.. a two-hit game in which only 28 men out of a minimum of 27 men faced him. However Warneke, also hails from the same neck of the woods as Rowe, coming from Mount Ida, a hamlet about 50 or 60 miles from El Dorado, and with this taken into con- sideration perhaps Warneke might might be a bit stiff and off balance also be a bit stiff and off balance in cold weather. Traditions or no traditions, luck or no luckathe team that clicks, the team that plays the best ball and the team that boasts the best pitching is the outfit that is slated to win.
