I TSAY, NOV17,1636 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Battered Wolverine Machine Girds For Buckeye Tilt JUS'T RECEIViM Another Shipment of I r Injuries Will Keep Smithers Out Of Action Knee Injury Keeps Smick Out Of Uniform; First String Takes Rest A badly batte d squad of Wol- verine gridders, till jubilant over the great fight that they put up against Northwestern, ran through a light drill yesterday in preparation for Saturday'srgame with Ohio State. The chief worry confronting Coach Kipke and his confident band of players today is the condition of Johnny Smithers and Danny Smick. Smithers is in the hospital with a leg injury, and according to the team physician, Dr. George Hammond, it is doubtful whether Johnny will be able to play against Coach Francis Schmidt's Scarlet Scourge Saturday. It was while performing his duties as right halfback in the Northwes- tern game that Johnny suffered his injury. To Smithers falls the block- ing and passing duties and the giant Purple forwards, balked in their ef- forts to open up big holes in Mich- igan's line on the offense, swarmed all over Johnny every time that he dropped back to pass. Ed Phillips and Bob Campbell are being groomed for the right halfback position in the event that Smithers is unable to play. Stark Ritchie as- sured himself of the left halfback job through his brilliant running in last week's game and Bob Cooper will be ready to step into Starks shoes whenever Coach Kipke says the word. The rest of the Varsity backfield is the, same as that which started against Coach Lynn Waldorf's grid- ders, wtih Bill Barclay calling the signals andhCed Sweet backing up the line in the fullback position. Danny Smick can also attest to the toughness of the Northwestern gridders, since his body is a mass of bruises and he is unable .to practice because of an injury similar to Smithers.' Danny is expected to be able to start in his right end post against Ohio State however. Coach Harry Kipke gave his regul- ars a rest as he taught some new plays to his second string eleven. The second team had John Jordan at center, Ralph Heikkinen and "Dutch" VandeWater in the guard posts, "Abe" Lincoln and Mel Kram- er as tackles, Art-Valpey and Elmer Gedeon at ends and Ed Phillips, Wally Hook, Louis Levine and Ed. Stanton in the backfield. While the first and second string elevens were running through signal drill, Coach Cappon took the third and fourth strings under his tutelage and gave them a long offensive scrimmage against the freshman. Doug Farmer, Alex Loiko, Ken Frost and Norm Purucker started in the backfield and seemed to click with Purucker getting off for several long gains. Cross Country Title To Spartan Harriers NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-()-Mich- igan State's harriers retained con- trol of the I.C.A.A.A.A. competition today as 23-year-old Kenneth Waite from Jackson, paced the Spartans to their fourth straight varsity cham- pionships., PRESS ANGLE By GEORGE J. ANDR - (Daily Sports Editor) Three days before the Illinois game a great Michigan gridder of the early twenties who has been following the Wolverines closely over a period of years told me that Joe Rinaldi was the weakest defensive center to play for the Varsity in the last 25 years -that is, up to the Columbia game when Joe blossomed out. Joe did blossom out in the Co- lumbia game, but he arrived to stay last Saturday. And I think my ear- lier confidant will agree. The play of the Elkhart junior against North- western was in my mind enough evi- dence that he is on the way toward becoming another great center of the line that began with "Germany" Schultz and hasincluded Jack Blott, "Doc" Morrison and Chuck Bernard among others. Rinaldi. needs polish, naturally, but with one more year of play remain- ing, I honestly think that he will go a long way toward disproving the skeptics who have been saying that great Michigan centers have become a thing of the past since Blott left his assistant's job here to go to Wes- leyan. Sports writers have been mention- ing the fact that Don Heap, North- westerns great ball carrier, threat- ened to get loose several times but failed to get by the secondary. You can give Rinaldi a great deal of the credit for stopping Heap with his play behind the line.. But, too, don't forget Cedric Sweet. He also had much to do with this business of keepig the Wildcat back beforesthey broke into dangerous territory. And when you are considering Rin- aldi, remember the punts he has downed this season-two of them on the opponent's one-yard line. That is quite some feat for a center. Joe makes mistakes, of course, but I think he has the makings. Watch him next Saturday at Columbus. * * * Fred DeLano posted his prognosti- cating average for the week yester- day. His selections for last Saturday resulted in 25 winners and seven los- ers for an average of .781. His most recent efforts boost his percentage for the year by .008. Fred now has a total of 100 winners and 32 losers for .758. Coleman Beats Out Wind To Win Title PINEHURST, N. C., Nov. 16.-('P) -Fay Coleman, 31-year-old former Culver City, Calif., amateur star, licked the wiles of the wind, cold and the course, which combined malev- olently to whip the favorites, and stole the. shotmaking honors today in the first half of the 36-hold qual- ifying round of the 19th professional golfers championship. The tall, curly haired Coleman, who wore a towel around his neck as protection against the raw blasts, shot the No. 2 Pinehurst Country Club layout in 68, four under par, equalling the course record hung up jointly a year ago by Horton Smith of . Chicago and Ray Mangrum Wolverine Mainstay D. U. Reaches Speedball Final With 19-7 Win. Led by Elbert "Bugs" Haight, who played through the second half de- spite a broken nose, Delta Upsilon went into the finals of the Inter- fraternity Speedball playoffs yester- day by virtue of a hard-fought vic- tory over Sigma Alpha Mu, 19 to 17. The D.U.'s led most of the way, twice forging into a five point lead only to be overtaken by the game S.A.M. and to go behind, 16 to 15, with but three minutes to play. Long kicks by Dick May, D.U. defense man, and clever passes by Haight and Joe White, however, tied up the game and sent the winners into the lead. In the finals of the second flight Psi Upsilon defeated Chi Phi in an overtime, 9 to 8, with a kick over the end zone in the closing seconds of the extra period. Phys Eds Try For First Grid Win Over Frosh Since 1930 JOE RINALDI Puck Pushers Are Waiting As Coliseum Is Being Rejuvenated By PAT CONGER Down at 725 South Division they're pretty busy this week, ripping boards off the windows, painting, and squirting water around. Vic Heyliger has exchanged the lost look in his eyes for a vicious gleam as he pushes his bicycle to Ypsi and back harder than ever. Eddie Lowrey has bustled over from Walkerville to take charge. Herm's geeting his freezing engines warmed up and Nate's painting the ammonia tanks. a Coliseum Getting Ready All of which means that the Col- iseum is getting ready for the hockey season. The skating rink will open for public use Saturday night, but a squad of eleven men will go on the ice in the afternoon for the first practice of the season. With the exception of Larry David, last year's team will return intact. Johnny Fabello at left wing, Heyliger at center, and Gib James at right wing will face Chatham, of the On- tario Hockey Association, in the op- ener Nov. 28, backed up by Bert Smith and Bob Simpson. Bert started off the season with Larry David last year, and paired with Bob when David injured his shoulder, but when Bert became ineligible the sec- ond semester, Bob Simpson took over for him, which gives Lowrey two ex- perienced defense men this year. In the nets Bud Shalek, last year's goalie, is back again, but according to Lowrey, he'll have to improve con- siderably to keep his job, what with those Chase twins from Grosse Pointe, Ed and Bill, back in school after a year's absence. Lowrey isn't sure which one, Ed or Bill, is the goalie, but two years ago, when All- American Johnny Jewell went to the hospital with acute appendicitis, it was Bill who went into the cage and finished out the season with several very creditable performances. A first string squad of 11 or 12 men, depending on whether Dick Berryman, starting wing two years ago, made up an incomplete yester- day, will start practice Saturday. In addition to Fabello, Heyliger, James, Smith, Simpson, Shalek, Bill Chase and Berryman, there is a second line composed of George Cooke, Walkerville flash who starred as a freshman forward last year, Jack Merrill, Michigan's only re- serve of the second semester last year, and Ted Ling, sophomore from St. Johnsbury, Vt. Bill Wood, soph- omore goalie, completes the list. After the opener with Chatham, Lowrey has three other games lined up before Christmas vacation. Brant- ford, another O.H.A. team, will come here Dec. 5, and either Kitchener, Port Colborne, or University of Wes- tern Ontario will play in the Coli- seum Dec. 8. McMaster Renews Battle McMaster University will renew its battle with the Wolverine pucksters Dec. 12, which will conclude the schedule for 1936. In 1937,-which isn't so far off, there will be the usual four games with Minnesota, led by All-American goalie Bud Wil- kinson, and with Michigan Tech of Houghton, captained by "Moon' Mullins. The University of Torontc will, come here at a date not yet de- termined, and Michigan will play a return engagement with the Uni- versity of Western Ontario in Can- ada. "All in all," Eddie Lowrey says "Iit's a good schedule, and since we're sure of a good goalie this year it looks like a fine team." That's put- ting' it mildly, Eddie. We predici the return of the Big Ten title and of the mythical state championshi; to the ice-house gang at 725 South Division Street. By BUD BENJAMIN The annual football battle between the Freshmen and Physical Educa- tion elevens to be played Thursday, Nov. 19, at Ferry Field will find the Phys Eds attempting to garner their first victory since 1930 over the regu- lar yearling squad. This five year streak of the regu- lar Frosh was marred last year when the two teams fought to a scoreless ti@ in the cold. Alex Loiko and Norm- an Purucker starred for the Phys Eds in the cold. Alex Loiko and Norman Purucker starred for the Phys Eds while Lou Levine was the shining light of the opposing yearling squad. Dan Smick, John Brennan, Tex Stanton, Fred Janke, John Jordan, and Elmer Gideon, all of whom have seen considerable Varsity service this year, played on one of the two teams last year. A score of others are on this year's reserve squad. Fold In Last Period In 1934 the Physical Education team folded up in the last quarter yielding three touchdowns in quick succession to give the Frosh a 25-7 victory. Johnny Smithers, Art Val- pey, and Art Leadbeater, all Varsity men this year, were outstanding in this game. Leadbeater has since dropped off the squad. The regular yearlings won in 1933, 7-0, when Joe Ellis tossed a pass to Matt Patanelli, captain of the 1936 eleven, who lateralled to Amrine for the only score of the game. Future Varsity material playing in that game consisted of Frank Bissell, Bud Hanshue, Ferris Jennings, Chet Sta- bovitz and Stan Schumann. The Freshmen were victorious by the same score in 1932. Dave Hunn returning a punt 35 yards for the only score of the fray. Howard Triplehorn, MikeSavage, ChelsowTo- magno, and George Dudness stood out in this battle. Margin A Blocked Punt A blocked punt which rolled out of the end zone for a two point safety provided the yearlings with another win in 1931. Bill Borgman, now or the coaching staff, Gerald Ford, whc starred at center in his Varsity days and Willis Ward, the brilliant Negrc end, shone in this game. H. E. PH ILP Tailor Relining, Repairing & Altering Ladies' and Gents' Suits and Coats $25 up Main St., over Cahow's Drug Store In the last Phys Ed victory in 1930, Stan Fay, captain of the undefeated 1933 eleven, passed to Ted Petoskey for the winning score. Two other future Varsity captains played in this game, Tom Austin, captain in 1934, and Bill Renner, last year's leader. Other future stars who com- peted were Herm Everhardus and Chuck Bernard, a future All-Ameri- can. This contest provides the two freshmen squads with their only taste of competition since inter-freshmen football was banned some 16 years ago by Big Ten officials, and the game Thursday appears to be a nip and tuck battle throughout with neither team holding any great ad- vantage over the other.
