SDAY, OCT.09, 13" THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Battered Gopher Game Leaves Squad BadlyBruised Coaches Point Out Errors In Team's Play Through Use Of Movies The Varsity gridders, kept inside by heavy rain and a soggy turf, went through a light workout yesterday afternoon in Yost Field House. With but few exceptions, every member of the squad who saw action Saturday was nursing bruises of one kind or another. Trainer Ray Rob- erts had his hands full administering first aid to the battered players. The squad got its first look at Iowa plays yesterday as Coach Franklin Cappon directed the third string eleven through the Hawkeye offensive set-up. Only about half of the first string squad was available for action, however, and the drill was merely an instructive one. Avoid Contact Work There was no hard coptact work during the session because of the battered condition of the players. Of the first stringers, Archie Kodros, Don Siegel, Doug Farmer, Tex Stan- ton and Elmer Gedeon spent little time in the working lineups. Danny Smick and Wally Hook were so shaken up that they did not report in uniform although they watched from the sidelines. Aside from the running of the Iowa plays, the practice session was made up of light pass offense and de- fense drills and the execution of running plays which featured no hard blocking or tackling. Olds Still Out Fred Olds, who has been confined to the hospital most of the time since the State game with an in- jured knee watched practice from the sidelines but was not in uniform. His knee has recovered sufficiently to allow him to return to the lineup but an abcess below the spine which he suffered from being on his back so long is proving bothersome to him. He is expected to return to the line- up in his guard position soon, how- ever. In an evening session last night the squad was shown the moving pictures of the Minnesota game and the individual faults of the players were pointed out by the coaches. Squad Shows "Pepper" Outside of the night session, how- ever, the stunning defeat at the hands of Minnesota was relegated to the background as the squad con- centrated on the Hawkeye game. The optimistic note of the after- .oon's workout was the amount of "pepper" which was shown by every- one on the squad. Despite the bruised condition of the players the pep was of the variety that.has not been seen this year even before the State game. Stiffer workouts will be the order for the remainder of the week, even in the event of more bad weather. All of the injuries from Saturday were of the bruise variety and the en- tire squad should be ready to go in ,the sessions remaining before the Iowa game Saturday. Gridders Watch Iowa Plays C 1 ASIDE LINES By IRVIN LISAGOR i .I Gloomy Monday... DIARY OF AN eavesdropper: Hat over eyes-in keeping with the pervasive gloom-we sneaked into the Athletic Administration building with a query or two tickling the cerebrum. But rain, lending its mournful tattoo to the customarily Blue Monday among the coaches, and the general lugubriousness discouraged rash im- pertinences. Upstairs, movies of the Minnesota-Michigan fi z z 1 e (for Mich) unreeled, adding nothing to the general happiness. Downstairs, Ath- letic Director Fielding H. Yost com- plained of the negligence of Satur- day's weather report, which failed to record "the cyclone and hurricane" that hit town. Conjured up in the old gent's tiring eyes were misty pic- tures of past Gopher-Wolverine games, when Michigan had weapons with which to combat its foes and when no Michigan man left the game ashamed to admit his alma mater was part of the afternoon's activity. It's hard to offer even a second guess on Saturday's scheduled "battle" when case-hardened De- troit writers condone everyone for Michigan's lambasting. One writes that Michigan might have kept the score down had it re- fused to gamble. Another sug- gests the Wolverines might have gone into a shell after theiri Revise Rulings In Independent I - M Program A committee of the managers of the seven competing teams in the] all-year competition in the Indepen- dent Intramural League met at the Intramural Building recently and made additions to the rules under which they will play. The teams were placed in two' leagues for the football schedule which will start on Thursday of this week. In League I are Rumsey House, Hiawatha, Forestry Club, and Allen House. In League II are the Wol- verines, Fletcher Hall, and Whirl- winds. It is hoped that another team will sign up- for the all-year competition, which is being sponsored by the Independent Men's Organiza- tion in conjunction with the Intra- mural Department, so that there will be two leagues of four teams each. Of the rule additions, the most im- portant were that all game ties would be decided by an extra five minute period and that all ties in league standings would be played off at the beginning of the following week. It was hoped that the winners of the Independent league would play the victors in the fraternity play in each sport. The prospect of a cam- pus "world series" was termed a "natural ." touchdown and spared them- selves a top-heavy defeat. Per- haps in our callowness we fail to see this; to gamble one must of- fer reasonable stakes, to go into a shell one must offer a reason- ably stubborn defense. We saw neither, but then we're not exjerts and proably place too much stock in what our eyes see. The metropolitan analyst said the "U. of M. gambled, placed hopes in attack"; we can't resist the ob- vious retort, What attack?" ... Minesota caught more of MICHI- GAN passes than Michigan did, and each set off a touchdown fuse. Michi- gan's line opened like the Red Sea and Moses (reincarnated in Chris-, tianson, Buhler, Uram, Gmitro, Van Every, etc.) paraded through. That's as much as we know ... -0- Ray Is Hereabouts ... IN THE OCT. 3 issue of the New York Times, John Kieran, erudite sports columnist, recalls the old New York Highlanders, fore-runners of the present-day Yankees. In his recollections he extracts some of the color of Kid Elberfeld (" . . . no boy dared lay a hand on him."), Roxy Roach ("He stopped a lot with his chest.") Hal Chase (" . . . all steel springs") and others. One of them was Ray Fisher, "the Vermont school- I master. He was a pitcher. Not bad, either. What everbecame of Ray?" Kieran was quick to learn what be- came of Ray. Into his office a deluge of let- ters poured-from all over the East, advising of Fisher's where- abouts. Kieran immediately sent Ray a letter in which he mar- velled at the friends he had throughout the country. Had Kieran been up-on his collegiate baseball he'd have known about Ray. Or he might have asked Pete Appleton or Wallie Roettger, or any Conference diamond coach. They are acutely aware of Ray's whereabouts. BIG TEN ROUNDUP GOPHERS HOLD CHALK TALK MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 18.- (P) - Coach Bernie Bierman led off with a chalk talk today the 36 players who trounced Michigan 39 to 6 Saturday. The Gopher head coach said, however, the. squad would return to serious practice tomorrow, even though the Notre Dame game is two weeks away. Minnesota has an open date next Saturday. The squad also viewed moving pic- tures of last Saturday's game. Indications were Harold Van Every would get the regular left half assign- ment to replace Andy Uram, lost for the season with a broken left wrist suffered in the Wolverine contest.

ILLINI EXCUSED CHAMPAIGN, Oct. 18.-G'P)-With an open date Saturday, Illinois first and second Varsity squads were ex- cused from work today as the third and fourth elevens ploughed through mud in a short drill. SHAUGHESSY IS SATISFIED CHICAGO, Oct. 18.--(P) -The University of Chicago football team, which has an open date Saturday, was excused from practice today. Coach Clark Shaughnessy said he was satis- fied with the performance of the Maroons against Princeton and that the team would be stronger against Ohio State Oct. 30.
