THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Probable Lineup For Columbia Takes Form In Hard Drill Capt. Patanelli And Smick Will Start At Ends Siegel Works At Janke's Tackle Post; Marzonie Is In Uniform Indications of a probable starting lineup took a more tangible form yesterday afternoon as the Wolver- ine gridders went through their last hard workout. Only a light drill is scheduled for today, dummy scrimmage on both the offense and defense being planned for the Varsity squad before they move out. of town. The team will remain cloistered until just before game time tomorrow. Captain Matt Patanelli and Danny Smick spent theentire practice ses- sion at the flanking positions and were deemed certain starters against the Columbia Lions. Art Valpey, who occupied the end post now held by Smick, took a light workout, but was still favoring his leg, and will prob- ably see action, if at all, for only a short time. Luby Retains Position Earl Luby was at right tackle again where he has held the first call over Forrest Jordan for the last three days. Jordan was working out with the second team yesterday, and seems certain to see action. On the other side of the line Don Siegel held the tackle post that he took over with the advent of Fred Janke's shoulder injury which will keep him from action until possibly the last game of the season. Jim Lincoln is his first replacement as was indicated when he lined up at that position on the second team. George Marzonie again failed to work out with the squad yesterday, atlhough he was in uniform. His leg has kept him on the sidelines since Tuesday, and it isn't likely that he will get in the Columbia game. Dutch Vanderwater took his place at right guard on the Varsity yesterday, and will probably see the most action Saturday. Ralph Heikkinen was at the same position on the second team. Jesse Garber was back at his posi- tion at left guard and has recovered from his spiked hand sufficiently to start against Columbia. Jack Bren- nan, who had the starting call in the Michigan State game, will be the first replacement. Starting Center Undecided One of the two positions that are causing Coach Kipke his greatest headache is the center post where Joe Rinaldi and John Jordan are showing equal ability. Jordan worked out with the Varsity during the greater part of the week, but yester- day it was Rinaldi who was passing the ball from the line. The fullback post is the other half of the Kipke headache because of the varying abilities of Tex Stanton and Ced Sweet. Stanton is a quicker starter than Sweet, but the Michigan Mentor needs the veteran to take over the punting duties when Bob Coop- er isn't in the lineup. A possible solution was indicated by Coach Kipke, with the combina- tion of Wally Hook and Sweet in the backfield alternating with Cooper and Stanton at the same positions. Bill Barclay will probably be at quar- ter and Smithers at half. Track Squad May Have Outside Drill Weather permitting, the Michigan track squad will have one of its regular fall workouts this afternoon on Ferry Field. For the past few years it has been the custom of Coach Hoyt to work out the team as a unit. Although there are no meets scheduled until' the second semester, these practices are held in order for the boys to build up their endurance. One more such -a practice will be held a week from today before the team is forced to go indoors. From this period on the team will not prac- tice until the time trials begin late in the semester. Although no definite conclusions can be drawn from trials, as the boys will run easily, Hoyt has his eye on the freshmen who will bear a major portion of the burden this season. In the sprints Alan Smith, Roy Heath, and Waldo Abbot will be fighting it out for the honor of aiding Sam Stol- ler capture new laurels. Competi- tion is also keen in the 440 where a wealth of material is apparently present to aid Osgood, Birleson and Stiles. Fighting To Regain Regular Varsity Position Fred Ziem is working overtime at practices these days in an attempt to regain the guard position that he was forced to give up last season on account of an injury. Although he played a few minutes in the In- diana game this fall, Fred has yet to appear in the starting lineup. He is not as big as the conventional guard, but like George Marzonie, he is compact and boasts plenty of power on offense as well as defense. Ziem hails from Pontiac, where he won three letters playing under C. D. Welden. - By GEORGE J. ANDROS Tankers Begin Early SeasonI Training Grind Coach Mann Is Confident Michigan Will Recapture Conference Title By STEWART FITCH With members of the 1936-37 Var- sity swimming squad already making things boil at the Intramural pool, Coach Matt Mann has ventured the information that Michigan will again dominate Big Ten and National swim- ming circles this year. Michigan will be seeking its eighth National Collegiate title in 11 years. The wealth of material available this year more than bears out Mann's contention that the Varsity will have another great season. Most of last year's stellar performers are back, set for the conquest of another title to add to the impressive list already annexed by the natators. Ben Grady, Jack Kasley, Frank Barnard, Tom Haynie of last year's star freshman squad, Fred Cody back after a year's absence, Ed Kirar, Leo Tomski and Bill Farnsworth are all expected to win points in this season's meet. The ineligibility jinx has some of the members of the squad down at present, but Mann expects that all of his star performers will be ready to compete when the second semester starts. The swimming season does not get under way with any big meets until second semester anyhow, so the entire team will be prepared to carry the brunt of the season. The freshman team this year will in no way compare with last year's aggregation. Coach Mann stated that never before has such a group of swimmers and divers come to Mich- igan at one time, nor does he expect to see another squad so studded with stars as was the 1935 frosh team. This year's yearlings will come far from duplicating last year's frosh vic- tory over the Varsity. The implica- tion is not that ;there are not any good freshman swimmers this year, there are, but they are not in a class with the swimmers of last year. There are several good divers coming up, however, who will be valuable as replacements for the Varsity men who will be lost in June. Touch Football opener Won By Penthouse A. C. Keeping the air filled with passes, the Penthouse A.C. beat the Olympics yesterday, 12-7 in the first touch- football game of the season. The battle was the start of the Intramural 1Department's Independent League playoffs. Interest displayed this year in this sport has shown itself to be much greater than that of last year as 22 teams are entered compared to the previous season's 16. Besides their aerial attack the Penthouse showed considerable speed and shiftiness which was due in some extent to their part time occupation. l They are all waiters. With a minute to play in the third quarter Frank Vihtelic, Pent end, intercepted a pass from Johnny Mair intended for Harry O'Connell and scored easily. In the fourth period A. Shnurman passed to B. Corelitz who again tallied for the A.C. Neither of the points after touchdown were made. The Olympics put on a rally in the fourth quarter when Mair threw to O'Connell who raced 65 yards to a touchdown. O'Connell then converted. In the only other opening football game the Buckeye Foresters shut out the Bulldogs 6-0 as T. E. Bercaw scored the only touchdown. Pi Lambda Phi trounced Beta Theta Pi 15-3 to capture the cham- pionship of its respective league in Interfraternity speedball. The only other league winner to date is Theta Chi. Phi Gamma Delta beat Sigma Identification Needed For Home Grid Games Students are again reminded that it will be necessary to show their identification cards to gain admit- tance to the Columbia game and all remaining home football games this season. Cards must be shown at the entrance gates. There will be no inconvenience to students because there will be a sep- arate gate for them at each section of the gates. The Board in Control of Athletics have requested that this rule be followed and will appreciate the students' cooperation. Weber Claims Frosh Inferior To Last Year Good Material Is Not As Abundant; Kodros And Trosko Outstanding The Freshmen football squad, with almost four weeks of practice behind them, is gradually being classified and selected by Coach Wally Weber with the result that several yearlings of promise have come to the front. "Good material this year," stated Coach Weber, "is not nearly as abun- dant as on last year's squad." On the whole the backfield material is unimpressive, a good line plunger and passer being noticeably absent. Coach Weber emphasized, however, that 'he still has not 'looked the squad over thoroughly, and until he has done so will reserve any opinion as to how much it will contribute to the Varsity next year. Fundamentals Important By PAT CONGER Two outstanding exponents of the art of punt and pass will come in contact when the Wolverines collide with Lou Little's Columbia Lions Saturday, and statistics show that in the long run Michigan may be forced to fall back on its running attack. For in Sid Luckman and Hubert Schulze, Little has a passer and a punter that are giving all other grid- ders in the country a run for their money on the statistics books. In three games to date, Maine, Army, and Virginia Military Insti- tute, Luckman, sophomore quarter- back of the Lions, has thrown 44 passes for a .500 batting average, completing 22 for a net gain from passing of 377 yards, with only two interceptions. Johnny Siegal and Schulze are his favorite targets. No Passes Against Army Luckman was too busy running with the ball against Maine to score aerial touchdowns in the 34-0 victory, but against Army he threw one to Schulze for a score and ran the ball across another time for a touch- down, missing by inches two other end-zone passes to the punting left 1 end that would have won the game for Columbia. Against V.M.I. he had his best day of the season, completing 11 out of 18 for 166 yards. Bob Taylor and SSiegalwere on the receiving end of scoring passes, with Johnny Hu- dasky catching two others for four of the six Columbia touchdowns. At the punting end, Schulze kicked ten times in the Maine and Army games to average 52%/2 yards from the point the ball was kicked, with a total of 37 yards in punt returns for his opponents. This makes about 42 yards per kick in Michigan lan- guage, measuring them from the line of scrimmage. It's hardly fair tc count the V.M.I. statistics, however inasmuch as Schulze was injured early in the game, and his under- study's work dragged the average down to 251/2 yards for the after- noon. , Michigan Punting Good Against this Michigan can offer averages of 35/2 yards against State; 40 yards against Indiana and 3( yards against Minnesota for the punt- ing of Bob Cooper and Ced Sweet with opponents' returns averaging well over 10 yards. In passing, the combined total tc date for the efforts of Bob Cooper Johnny Smithers, Stark Ritchie and Bob Campbell shows 44 passes at- tempted, six completed, and four in- tercepted, for a total gain of 60 yards from passes. There is an encouraging note, how- ever, first inthe fact that Johnny Smithers has apparently found his passing eye, and secondly in the fact that Columbia's pass defense in not- ably weak. Army scored two touch- downs on passes, and placed them- selves in scoring position for the other two by areial attack. A New York Times write-up of the Army game says: The Ends Have It "Two forward passes that either resulted in Cadet touchdowns or set the state for them were on tosses Frank to Woody Stromberg and Kobes, one six feet one inch tall and the other six feet three. Oscar Bo- nom, Lion fullback, was on top of each of them, but the Cadets were so much taller that the five foot nine inch Lion that nothing he could do -including the riding of the two of them pick-a-back-was able to stop the giants from snaring the tosses." Moral: Smick is 6 feet, 4 inches, Gedeon, 6 feet 3 inches; Valpey 6 feet, 21/2 inches; and Patanelli, the shrimp is only 6 feet 1 inch. In addition, in Columbia's three games to date, their opponents have tossed 45 passes for 19 completions and 291 yards, Army completing 11 out of 18. A contest of punt and pass-and the loser hasn't got a prayer! CALL FRESHMAN TANKERS Coach Matt Mann has issued a call to all members of the fresh- man swimming squad to meet at the Intramural pool next Tues- day sharply at 5 p.m. All fresh- man swimmers take notice as the meeting is very important. SPEDDI NG QUALITY WORK POPULAR PRICES MICHIGANWNSIAN PHOTOGRAPHER 619 EAST LIBERTY ST PHONE 4434 Luckman Supplies Pass And Schulze Punts For Columbia HAVING picked 19 winners withI but four losers in his debut as a football prognosticator last week-end -and having stuck out his chest about it all week-Freddie De Lano has the nerve to think that he may be as lucky in his second try today. And the funny part of it is, I think he will be. * * * CASTING our gaze about the na- tional grid stage and forgetting for the moment that we'll have a great battle Saturday afternoon in our own back yard when the Co- lumbia Lion and Michigan Wolverine start mixing it, we find that Amer- ica's several million football fans will be treated this week-end to more out- standing games than on any one day since the curtain went up on the 1936 season. We hesitate predicting the victor of the local skirmish, believing that the weather will have much to do with the outcome. However, if it's a fighting heart that is needed to win, it will be Michigan on the long end of the score Saturday. In Luck- man and Schulze Columbia will have plenty of passing and punting ability, but even so we think Michigan has something besides a prayer left to show. Probably the best battle on the schedule will be the clash between Purdue's inspired and powerful eleven and Minnesota up at Minneapolis. The Gophers are favored to stretch their string of victories to the record- breaking number of 21, but iot until after they've been in a real fight. It is even possible that the Boiler- makers will upset the dope, but we'll string along with the champion and name Minnesota by a touchdown. N ORTHWESTERN, fresh from its startling victory over Ohio State, faces a mediocre Illinois eleven at Ur- bana. The Illini tied Iowa last week but haven't the power to stop the Wildcats. We'll also take Ohio State over Indiana despite the fact that the Hoosiers dropped their encounter with Nebraska by only four points. The Buckeyes have lost two in a row and should click this week. If not, we'll say goodbye Schmidt and prepare for a big celebration in Co- lumbus the night of Nov. 21. Three Big Ten elevens, Wisconsin, Chicago and Iowa are idle this week. An undefeated Notre Dame power- house will risk its record against Pitt and while most fans will disagree with this, we'll lay it on the Irish to win. Too many times have we watched Notre Dame defeat a sup- posedly better team to concede any team a victory over them; and as we remember seeing Marty Peters' last minute field goal give the Irish the decision over the Panthers in 1935, 9-6, we'll back them again Sat-' urday. Elsewhere in the Mid-West we name Nebraska over Oklahoma, Kan- sas State over Kansas and, whether you like it or not, Marquette over Michigan State. The last affair will be no mild tussle, but rather a tooth and nail struggle, that could easily go either way. However, we've yet to be shown where the Spartans are better than they were a year ago when Marquette won 13-7 and we're looking for practically the same score this year. * * * IN THE EAST Fordham will repel the trans-continental invasion of St. Mary's in probably the best at- traction the seaboard has to offer. It will also be Pennsylvania overj Brown and Holy Cross to top Car- negie Tech by a slight margin. Cor- nell will outscore Penn State, while Dartmouth will trim Harvard and Princeton sinks the Navy. The Tulane-North Carolina and; Duke-Tennessee tilts headline the. South's offerings and we'll take the first named in both cases. L.S.U. will top Arkansas, Texas A. and M. is our choice over Baylor, Kentucky will trim Florida, Auburn should win over Georgia, Georgia Tech is a few points better than Vanderbilt and Rice is better than Texas. The West-Coast presents four out- standing games, the best of which, will be Washington-California's fight for possible Rose Bowl honors. On the basis of Washington's easy tri- umph over U.C.L.A. while the latter upset the Bears last week we'll give the call to the Huskies. We also pick Southern California over Stanford, U.C.L.A. against Oregon State and Washington State to win from Ore- gon. Our two dark horses for the day are Redlands to beat Pomona and Milligan to gallantly triumph over the more powerful forces of Carson- Newman. And that's that. Last week we hit .826; Saturday it may be .268. Two factors are considered of prime importance in selecting the team, blocking andi tackling ability. A player who is lacking in either of these two departments stands little chance of landing a berth on the team. Running through the various posi- tions we find promising men for every berth. At the ends, Joe Slewitsky, of Saginaw and Joe Rogers of Royal Oak have shown up best thus far. The former is a good pass receiver and blocker, while the latter was all- state last year in his position. Among the tackles Donald Savilla husky 200-pounder from Gallager W. Va., has shown most promise Standing well over six feet Savilla played bang-up ball until disabled by a knee injury. Ken Steen, a very fast tackle from New Rochelle, N.Y. and Bill Smith of San Antonio, Tex. are other impressive candidates for this, position.. The latter's father played in the line for Michigan dur- ing the early part of the century. Kodros Is Outstanding Herman Ulewitch, Cleveland, O. and Jack Weiner of Chicago, Ill., are the best of some mediocre guard ma- terial. The best lineman to put in an appearance is Archie Kodros husky center from Alton, Ill., whc seems destined to go places in Mich- igan football. Another likely looking center is Bill Linsz, Cleveland, O. Coach Weber considers Fred Tros- ko, of Flint, Mich., a former All-State star, playing with the Physical Ed- ucation Freshman the best back or the squad. Other good backfield men are Jack Kinsey, Plymouth, a good punter; Don Hendricks, Bentor Harbor, a fair passer and good blocker; Joe Goldberg, a fine de- fensive back from Middletown, N.Y.; Henry Postoway, Dearborn and stocky Hercules Rhinda, who, despite his size, has been setting the big fel- lows down hard all year.
