Hawkeyes No Pushover ...
The badly battered and abashed
Wolverines, hoping for a "soft touch"
after three rapier thrusts to their
collective jaw, may be disappointed
Saturday when they face Iowa's new-
ly coached Hawkeyes. Although beat-
en twice in three starts, Irl Tubbs'
proteges have gleaned a "statistical
victory," if a phrase may be coined,
and won't present any suckers for
Varsity bait.
The Iowans have gained 622
yards as against 401 by oppon-
ents, and 432 of those yards were
made by rushing. Coach Kipke's
opinion that they have a "pretty
good running game" seems sub-
stantiated. They have rolled up
34 first downs to 16 for the foe,
and have averaged 44.5 yards per
punt. Of 29 passest thrown (oh,
oh, this comes up again!) 12
have been completed for a total
of 190 yards.
Coach "Cappy" Cappon, who gave
the Ha\vkeyes the critical twice-over
in the Bradley Tech and Wisconsin
game ,concedes them power. In
Niles Kinnick, sophomore triple-
threat, he predicts one of the Con-
ference's finest prospects. A 160-
pounder, Kinnick is a good runner,
a sharpshooter with aerials (oh, oh!)
and an excellent kicker, viz., his 52-
yard punt average against Wisconsin.
Homer Harris, the colored captain
and medical student, has been shift-
ed from end to tackle in a strength-
ening maneuver, and has beside him
at left end, Bob Lannon, whom Cap-
pon regards not unlightly. Dick An-
derson, 190-pound center, is tough,
too. In other words, the Hawkeyes
are lookingbetter, to borrow Wally
Weber's pat description, from week
to week, than the Wolverines.

Weber Tells One... .
Speaking of Weber, the man who
calls pass interference "surreptitious
hooking," (and they call me verbose),
brings to mind the story of Jack Mc-
Carthy, still another grid star who
escaped the U. of M. because of scho-
lastic difficulties. Weber relates how

Glencoe, Ill., decided to shift his al-
legiance from Notre Dame to Mich-
igan after his freshman year at

The man whom Fielding H. Yost
has termed "the greatest high schooll
athlete in the country last year," the
holder of records in four major sports,
the winner of two All-State awards,
that's Tom Harmon.
A product of Horace Mann High
School in Gary, Indiana, this six foot,
192 pound halfback is now one of
the most promising members of
Coach Fisher's freshman football
squad.
Playing for Horace Mann last year,
Tom was the leading high school
scorer irl the nation, tallying 150
points by his own efforts alone. He
kicks, passes, and is a fast and shifty
ball-cairrier thus being termed a
triple-threat, and a glance at his rec-
ord is sufficient proof that it's no
misnomer.

Football Is Forte
But to get back to football where
Harmon made perhaps his outstand-
ing performances, it was the state
championship game last year with
Michigan City that produced one of
his top exploits.
Playing safety for Horace Mann,
Tom caught a punt on his own five-
yard line and ran it back the re-
maining 95 yards for a touchdown.
Then too, there was a time against'
Oak Park when he faded back as
though to pass and then ran 60
yards to score the winning points of
an 18 to 14 game. When it came
time to pick an All-State football
team, Tom's name was at the head
of the list. Yes indeed, the kid puts
Frank Merriwell to shame.

Mr. Charles "The Tweed" Seid-
enstein really dropped a birdie a
few days ago. At 5:45 he jauntily
tread his merry way out of the field
house locker room bound for Dr.
Carpenter's office. Being a man
among men, and realizing that to don
pants would be a waste of time as he
was heading for a posterior sunlamp
bake, Tweed carried his trousers over
his arm.
Past the newshawks and the
coaches trod Charles, saluting
with a sophisticated "Hi'ya guys,"
as he passed.
Around the corner waiting for an
athlete to interview stood one of The
Daily's gal reporters, and a feminine
acquaintance - both enthralled by
the glamor of the house of athletes.
But glamor fades they say-and when
Charley popped up, it really disap-
peared. Surveying his opposition, the
half pint paused momentarily, and
then nonplussed bellowed: "This is a
helluva place for a bunch of women
to be," and tucking his pants firmly
over his arm strolled into the office.

Scoring Mark
For Speedhall
Set By A.T.O.
With a scoring average of 3 points
for every 2 minutes of play, Alpha
Tau Omega swamped Beta Theta Pi
yesterday in the I-M speedball pre-
liminaries by the lopsided count of
30 to 3, while the only other game
that was able to be played on the
muddy field saw Phi Kappa Psi spurt
in the last few minutes of play to
down a stubborn Psi Upsilon team 8
to 4.
The Betas never had a chance.
Playing their second straight game
with an undermanned team, they
were buried under an avalanche of
goals as the A.T.O. forward line of
Clark, Conrad, Gabriel, Higgins, and1
Meyer time after time swept down for]
a field goal, an end goal, or a touch-'
down.,
Harry Clark, high scorer for the1
day, established a scoring record forl
a single game this season with 131
points to his credit.-
The Phi Psi-Psi U. game was much
more hotly contested. Fred Schwarze
started things off for the Phi Psis
with a first quarter goal, and, after
Tom Watkins had tied it up for Psi
U, Russ Dobson booted a beautiful
drop-kick between the bars to put
Phi Psi into a halftime lead of 4 to 1.1

men were laboring since before the
Michigan State game relieved to a
considerable extent, but the amount
of enthusiasm and pepper shown by
the squad was a noticeable contrast to
practically all of the previous drills,
this week or last.
Coach Kipke, after sending the
team through heavy workouts in allI
phases of the game in preparationE
for the Iowa tilt Saturday, expressed
his approval sayin: "They look 100
per cent better. Yes, they were click-
ing today."
Entire Squad Goes
The entire squad of 36 players was
slated to leave for Iowa immediately
after practice this afternoon. It is
doubtful, however, whether Joe Sa-
villa, tackle and Danny Smick, end,
will be starters against the Hawkeyes
as the injuries they received in the
Minnesota battle have not yet healed
sufficiently.6*
Several changes were noted in the
backfield and line yesterday. Bill
Barclay. at the. wingback position in
place of Hercules Renda, showed up
well in running and pass receiving.
Bob Campbell took part in several
scrimmages at the quarterback po-
sition. On the line, Fred Janke alter-
nated in several plays at left tackle.
Fundamentals were concentrated
upon earlier in the afternoon with
tackling receiving the greatest em-
phasis. For almost a half hour fresh-
men backs were given balls to carry
through strings of tacklers composed
of the entire Varsity squad. Tom Har-
mon, frosh halfback, proved very cap-
able in eluding tacklers and in his
drive and shiftiness.
Light Drills Todayj
Practice this afternoon will be lim-
ited to brushing up on plays and light
drills since the team leaves at 5:20
p.m. on an overnight trip to Daven-
port, Iowa, where they will spend the
following day and then travel to Iowa
City for the game.
Making the trip are Art Valpey,
John Nicholson, Elmer Gedeon, Vince
Valek, Joe Rogers, Harold Floersch
and Danny Smick, ends; Fred Janke,
Joe Savilla, Bill Smith, Don Siegal,
Earl Luby and Dennis Kuhn, tackles;
Fred Olds, Ralph Heikknen, Fred

the scrimmage, Coach Irl Tubbs sent
the men through a lengthy signal and
ball handling drill, and spent some
time on blocking and tackling.
