THE MICHIGAN DAILYPAG Giants, Yanks Set For World Series Opener, Crowd Of 50,000 Expected To Jam Polo Grounds For First Game Of Classic By FRED H. DE LANO 1 Baseball's annual autumn classic, the World Series, will open tomorrow In New York City before approxi- mately 50,000 diamond fanatics who will crowd into the Polo Grounds to find out for themselves whether Yan- kee slugging can beat Giant hurling,' the key question of the entire spec- tacle. Manager Bill Terry of the National League champions will shove' the burden of whipping the Ruppert Riflemen onto the sturdy shoulders of "King Carl" Hubbell, the out- standing southpaw pitcher in base- ball today. His opponent on the hill is expected to be the goofy senor, Vernon Gomez. Manager McCarthy may start the veteran Charley Ruf- fing, however. At any rate, no matter who the moundsmen may be, the Yanks will pin their hopes for a world cham- pionship upon their great power at the plate. Such sluggers as Bill Dickey, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Tony Lazzeri and "Red" Rolfe are expected to make life miserable for the Giants and the Yanks will go into the classic a distinct favorite with the . betting commissioners along Broadway. Mel Ott and Terry are the leading Giants at the plate and are espe- cially dangerous when teammates are on the sacks. But despite what offensive power the National League entry may display, their hopes will -rest on defense, and i this practically entirely upon pitching. Fat Freddy Fitzsimmons and Hal Shumacher may get the next two starting as- signments on the hill from Terry. This will be the Giants first ap- pearance in a series since they downed the Washington Senators four games to one in 1933. That was Terry's first year at the helm of the club. The Yankees made their last series start in 1932 and pounded their way through the Chicago Cubs in four straight games. All records for re- ceipts are expected to be broken by this year's classic, the first "subway series" since 1923 when the Yanks took the measure of the Giants after six games. The American League team has a batting average as a club which is more than 20 points above the Giants' mark. At the -same time the records of their pitchers are not as impressive as those of Giant hur- lers. Thus, it will definitely be pitch- ing vs. hitting when the Giant and Yanks clash in the opener tomorrow and the great minds of the basebal world are willing to give odds that the hitting of the Yanks will carry them through to the world title in no more than six games. Illinois Still Tough In Spite Of Heavy Losses Despite the heavy losses at Illinois Michigan can look forward to tough opposition whenever they meet thei: traditional rivals from Urbana. In addition the Wolverines are faced with the task of avenging their 3-0 beating in 1935 as a result of Lowel Spurgeon's field goal. Spurgeon will be back along with veterans Wib Henry, quarterback John Theodore, fullback, and Bob Grieve and Jewett Cole, halfbacks Coach Bob Zuppke will also hav three seasoned ends in Ken Nelson Kene Dykstra, and Francis Cantwell Capt. El Sayre is the "key" man in the line.

Their tragic deaths have brought before the pub- lic's mind the great danger of gaso- line. As everyone knows by now, the Purdue football squad was re- moving bandages with gasoline when an explosion occurred which wiped out two lives and endangered three others. The accident has served to blazen forth to every team in the country the hazard of careless handling of explosive materials. Practically every school in the country uses gasoline or benzine for the purpose of re- moving bandages from players. Illi- nois is practically the only exception to the general rule. They have taken to a non-inflammable liquid. N. U. Follows Illini Director of Athletics Tug Wilson yesterday announced in behalf of Northwestern that the Wildcats have definitely given up using gasoline. No official recognition of the case has as yet been taken of the dis- aster by the Big Ten but reports have it that all the schools will follow the [ead of Ilinois and Northwestern in abandoning such liquids as have been used in the past. There will be no more benzine nor gasoline in confer- ence gymnasiums. A Chicago morning paper has re- ported that Thomas Metcalfe, direc- tor of athletics at the Midway, is having a test conducted to deter- mine whether there is any possibility of an atmospheric mixture that would explode with gasoline. If there is any such possibility Chicago will also change to a non-inflam- mable liquid. The biggest objection to the use of such a liquid is the prohibitive cost to date. This is rapidly being overcome. There are now about five or six brands which usually sell for a dollar a quart.
