Hopes for a victory over the na-
tion's leaders, the Northwestern
Wildcats, took an upward swing yes-
terday afternoon when Johnny
Smithers, dependable wingback, re-
ported for the final intensive drill on
the offense scheduled by Coach Har-
ry Kipke in preparation for Satur-
day's game.
Showing no trace of being both-
ered by his wrist, the husky halfback
tossed passes the way he has been
doing all season and took his turn at
carrying the ball behind the inter-
ference.
Hopes Rise
News from the University Hospital
also buoyed the morale of the Wol-
verine football camp as physicians
reported that treatments had re-
duced the swelling on Captain Matt
Patanelli's ankle considerably, and
although he might not be able to
start, he will see action for at least
part of the Northwestern game. The
Michigan leader will be released
from the hospital tonight or tomor-
row morning.
With Smithers back in the lineup,
Coach Kipke devoted his efforts to-
ward finding another man to alter-
 ..*. ,.*nate with Wally
Hook. Bob Camp-
bell got the call
y es te rd ay and
showed that he
could run and pass
with sufficient
ability to insure his
seeing more action
in this tilt than he
has in any pre-
vious game.
Stark Ritchie,
who has had the
Kovatch first call at the
wingback post since Cooper was in-
jured in a scrimmage session before
the Columbia game, stood on the
sidelines again today still bothered
by a charlie horse. Hook, it appears,
will get the Kipke nod as the starting
wingback. Trainer Ray Roberts was
able to predict, with almost fatal
certainty, that Cooper will not be able
to play against the Wildcats.
Sweet At Full
Ced Sweet worked the entire af-
ternoon at the fullback post. His
punting duel with the Wildcat full-
back, Steve Toth, will be one of the
features of Saturday's game. It was
Toth who averaged 41 yards in punts
against the Gophers and plunged over
the Minnesota goal line for the win-
ning score.
Line assignments remained the
same with the exception of the right
side of the forward wall where Fred

zonie and Dutch

Lincoln, Earle Luby

first call at tackle.

Lincoln appeared in
the Varsity lineup
yesterday, but
there is such little Toth
difference in the ability of the players
that any one may get the starting
assignment.
Ziem relieved VandeWater during
the dummy offense, while Luby played
on the defense opposite Lincoln. Jor-
dan and Marzonie worked with the
second team.
Danny Smick and Art Valpey drew
the end assignments on the Varsity
after the entire squad went through
its group drills on blocking and tack-
ling. Smick draws the tough assign-
ment of playing opposite the Wildcat
who is seeking All-American honors,
Johnny Kovatch when the Wolver-
ines are on the defense, and will have
his hands full all afternoon.

PR ESS
ANGLE
By GEORGE J. ANDR -
(Daily Sports Editor)
NORTHWESTERN has just been'
awarded the Associated Press
ranking as the country's leading col-
legiate football team of the week for
the second time in a row, but Coach
Harry Kipke has not yet given up
hope of a win for his young eleven.
"We have a chance," says Kip, "if
I can only get our offense to click. I
can't understand why it doesn't. We
have good blocking in practice, but
don't get it in games. We've worked
hard on fundamentals. But the boys
seem to lose the knack in actual com-
petition. I still believe in the boys
and still think they may yet get go-
ing in one of our two remaining
games."
And that is the way it should be.
Michigan will make a strong
bid for the 1937 Big Ten track
and field meet, Athletic Director
Fielding H. Yost has announced.
The coming season's track team
appears at this writing to show
promise of becoming a truly
strong aggregation, although
Coach Chuck Hoyt has made no
comments yet. The Outdoor Con-
fcrence meet at home would be a
fitting climax for a successful
season.
If Ann Arbor does get the meet, it
will be the second Big Ten spring
meet held on the Ferry Field track
in three years. It was in the 1935
meet here that Jeese Owens of Ohio
State, now famous as the American
Olympic hero of last summer. set!
three world records and tied a fourth.
And there may be a second Con-
ference meet here next spring. Al-
though *no definite negotiations have
been begun as yet, Michigan will also
make a bid for the annual tennis
meet.

Spero Costas, late 21-year-old
captain and quarterback of the
Butler University football team,
was killed in an automobile acci-
dent near Crawfordsville, Ind., Sat-
urday night. Costas was returning
to Indianapolis after having direct-
ed his team to a 41-0 victory over
Valparaiso to clinch the Indiana
conference title.
Wolverines Win
Jay Hawk Tilt
In I-M Football

Known mainly for his punting abil-
ity, Toth, Geyer's alternate at full-
back, really showed the experts that
he's also quite a ball carrier when
against Wisconsin last Saturday he
went over for two touchdowns and
then added an extra point to boost his
season's total to 19 and thus gain a
tie for third place honors with Cecil
Isbell of Purdue. Toth also scored
the touchdown that beat the Gophers
after Geyer failed to come through.
There is no doubt that Coach
Weber would name Vanzo's blocking
as the reason for three of the Wild-
cats being among the conference's
leading scorers. He adds that if you
want his proof for this statement
just make sure that you get out to
the stadium Saturday afternoon.
Weber claims that Vanzo is an All-
American quarterback and he may be
right in that Grantland Rice, whose
choices for the Colliers All-American
team is considered by many 'as offi-
cial, shared Weber's views after see-
ing the Wildcat pilot in action
against Minnesota's Gophers.
Rates Gophers High
Speaking of the Gopher tilt, Weber
said that on a dry field he would
rate Minnesota two touchdowns bet-
ter than the Wildcats. For proof,
Weber cites the fact that the Gophers
