His work in scrim- mages this past week, however, have established him as the Wolverine's, second triple-threat man. He is a natural ballplayer, having an instinc- tive drive to every possible opening in the ling., while his dead center tosses leave nothing to be desired. He is already rated as one of the better punters of the team. Wally Hook and Lou Levine are two more newcomers who have de- manded serious consideration by their fine play. Hook, a halfback, is probably the fastest man on the squad and just as shifty as he -is speedy, while the quarterback Levine has shown good blocking and pass- ing ability. Two Backfields Available Because of the fine blocking caliber of his backs, Coach Kipke can put two backfields on the field, of almost equal ability, which would consist of the first string while another would consist of Levine at quarter, Curren at full, Ed Phillips at wingback and either Hook or Ritchie carrying the ball. The Wolverine line this year will see at least three and perhaps five sophomore replacements assuming their duties. Only the veteran ends,I Captain Matt Patanelli and Art Val- pey are at all confident of retaining their posts, and Valpey is being pushed hard by Alex Loiko, Ham- tramck boy who has been converted from a halfback to the flanking po- sition where he already has made his presence felt. Danny Smick, another sophomore is also pushing Valpey for honors, but Art gets the call from Kipke not only because of his experi- ence, but also because of his greater coordination and speed this year. Tackles Worry Kipke The tackles are the greatest prob- lem on the Michigan team, and Coach Kipke would be the first to admit it. Over on the left side of the line the stalwart Fred Janke has lived up to his prep school reputation in great' style and already has the Kipke nod in his first tentative lineup. On the right side of the line, how- ever, the race is close, with Mel Kramer getting a close decision. His1 experience places him above the sophomoreDon Siegel who is further handicapped by being about 25 Vies For Old Job Cedric Sweet, Fremont, Mich., al- ready with two varsity letters tucked under his belt is looking for a third one at his old position as fullback. He is one of the two regulars figured to hold a place in the Michigan backfield. pounds underweight after an attack of flu this summer. Jim Lincoln, Earl Luby and Fred Olds, all vet- erans, have improved with each prac- tice and will be up there fighting the whole season. Sophomores hold sway at the guards, and there's no denying them. Playing for the regulars at the be- ginning of all the scrimmages have been Forrest Jordan (no relation to John) and John Brennan. Their charging and blocking ability have only been approached by that of a pair of comparative midgets. Stand- ing only five feet nine inches, Lil- burn Ochs and George Marzonie have Coach Kipke's approval as close sec- onds to the heavier pair as their speed and fight more htan make up for their diminutive size. Marzonie, although a junior this year, will see his first action on a Wolverine team next Saturday, scholastic hurdles proving too high for him his soph- omore year. Two good centers are in store this year to aid on the comeback trail. Ranking first, but only by a shade, is Joe Rinaldi. He is ranking at the top because he has been pushed to higher performances by the formid- able competition of John Jordan, the Chicago Trophy winner of this spring. Frosh Compete For Positions On Net Squad Yearling Tourney Begins 'New Deal' In MichiganI Tennis History Evidence of a much needed ren- aissance in Michigan tennis which may compare with the widely pub- licized "new deal" in Michigan foot-1 ball can be found in the play of the 121-odd freshmen who are now com- peting for places on the freshman tennis squad in the Orientation Week tournament at the Ferry Field courts.I It is too early to pick out individual stars but Coach John Johnstone is confident that this year's crop of first year men is at least as good as the squad led by Bill Mills and Ed Paine last year. Following the sys- tem that proved successful last year, Coach Johnstone plans to pick about ten of his outstanding yearlings and let them practice with the Varsity all winter in the gym of the Intramural Sports building. Dean, Thorward Eligible Contrary to earlier reports, Jarvis Dean and Ted Thorward, both letter- men on last season's team have re- turned to school and will be eligible for play. Thorward is entering the law school and may have difficulty finding time enough to play however. The return of these two veterans gives Coach Johnstone five lettermen in Capt. Miller Sherwood, Jarvis Dean, Jesse Flick, Ted Thorward and Neil Levenson. Bob, Edmonds, a junior who was kept on the bench because of sickness last year, will al- so be on the squad, as will Len Ver- dier, another junior. Bill Mills and Ed Paine, stars of last year's freshman squad, are ex- pected to give everybody but Capt. Sherwood a fight for his position. The Varsity squad will practice outdoors beginning Monday as long as weather permits and then will spend the win- ter months practicing in the I-M gym. Sherwood Sounds Keynote Capt. Miller Sherwood sounded the key note of the squad's spirit when he said, "There will be no individuals, teamwork will be stressed." For the past few years, Northwest- ern and Chicago have made a farce of the Big Ten tennis race. Last year, both teams whitewashed the Wol- verine netters, 6-0, and Northwetern managed to nose the Maroons out by one point in the conference tourna- ment despite the fact that Chicago's Norman Bickel won most of the in- dividual championships. < ----- By BETSY ANDERSONl Officially initiated in 1932, when AbI Jenkins, one of the nation's top-speed drivers and present holder of a large percentage of the world's records, averaged 117-miles an hour for 24 hours to avoid a $500 fine imposed by doubting AAA officials, who claimed his former claim of making 113-mile average for 24 hours was "misrepre- senting the facts," the Bonnevillel Salt Flats in Utah are now recognized as the world's greatest race track. Breaks Eight Records Last Thursday, Jenkins took eight more world's records and brought them back to the United States by smashing marks set earlier in the summer by Captain George Eyston and John Cobb, both English drivers. With Babe Stapp, another veteran driver, assisting, Jenkins ended his 48-hour run with an average of 148.626 miles an hour, according to official timers, beating Capt. Eyston's mark of 136.34 by approximately 12 hours. The other seven records taken include the 24-hour record and rec- ords for 3,000 to 5,000 miles and 4,000 to 10.000 kilometers. The flats present a very unimpos- ing appearance. A few shacks serv- ing as refueling stations, a mammoth circus-like tent to protect the cars from the "salt" blizzards, flags set- ting the race courses-these are all that mark the shimmering sands with their snowlike appearance that extend for hundreds of miles-a rem- nant of the lost Lake Bonneville- as a place fit for human habitation. Cars Can't Turn Over The sticky quality of the salt and the fl'atness that characterizes the region and makes it almost impos- sible for a car to turn over result in an ideal combination for speed- ing, and racers throng from all over the world to attempt new marks. An odd feature of the region arel the signs along the government high- way warning tourists of the mirages caused by the sand. As a rule, upon viewing the racing from the road, one sees the car floating through space several feet above the ground. Sir Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird is unofficially recognized at present as the fastest car ever on the course, but Ab Jenkins' new "Mormon Me- teur," a $40,000 creation designed and supervised by Jenkins himself runs a close second. Of no particular stock make, the canary-colored monster, which Jenkins hails as the "most beautiful racing car in the world," has an airplane motor and stream- lining taken from air machines. A huge tail and rudder have been in- stalled, the rudder to be set to the outside of the track so that wind re-' sistance will keep the machine on its course and help to do away with slipping, The 12-cylinder gas eater is ex- pected to go over three miles a min- I ute and may get to the 200-mile mark. A front-drive machine cap- able of 700 horsepower at 2,400 rev- olutions and an extra engine and duplicates for every part of the care are other new features. r t _ - I Past trouble with clutch slipping is expected to end with the new device perfected by Augie Dusenberg which locks the clutch as soon as the car attains a speed of 100 m.p.h. Because of its great speed the car must be towed to attain a certain speed before it can be started in low gear. Among many other new fea- tures of the custom-made buggy is an exhaust pipe on the right side of the engine to eliminate unnecessary wind.
