18, 1938 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PRESS PASSES -By BUD BENJAMIN - (Editor's Note: Paul Warren, sports editor of the Ohio State Lantern, steps up with the final football exchange column of the year. Thanks to Mr. Warren and the other seven sports editors who contributed this fall.) He Picks Ohio... By PAUL WARREN COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 17. Bolstered physically and mentally by its crushing victory over Illinois last week, Ohio State is gunning for its fifth straight win over the Michigan Wolverine and a Big Ten champion- ship which lies in the balance of this game which will be played here at Ohio Stadium Saturday- Crushed by the unexpected defeat administered them by Purdue two weeks ago, the Buckeyes rebounded in great style to hand Illinois its most decisive loss in several years last Sat- urday, bolstering the waning spirit of the team considerably. Recognized as the craziest football town in the country, Co- lambus has been taking on all the aspects of the usual pre- big game atmosphere, for it real- izes that for the first time in many seasons, the Scarlet will find a real foe again in Michi- gan-so much a foe that many people here are picking the Wolverines to beat the Bucks. The squad came out of the Illinois fracas in wonderful physical shape with every regular being in shape to do battle Saturday. Only little Vic Marino, left guard, has a hurt which might be labeled serious by Trainer Tucker Smith, but Vic prom- ises to be in there by Saturday. COACH FRANdS SCHMIDT will stand pat on his starting lineup for he hates to break up a winning combination, andabarring further in- jury,- this will have Esco Sarkkinen and Wendell Lohr at the ends; Alex Schoenbaum and co-Captain Karl Kaplanoff at tackles; Pete Gales and Ed Hoff mayer at guards;, Charlie Mpag at center; Jimmy Sexton, quar- terback; Jimmy Strausbaugh and Frank Zadworney at the halves; and Jimmy Langhurst at fullback. The one possible change in this lineup at the last moment may be a gesture of sentiment by Schmidt in starting Mike Ka- bealo, the othe co-captain, at quarterback in his last game for the scarlet and Gray. Kabealo's signal calling has been none too good allseason, and Sexton ap- parently has clinched the regular quarterback post by his brilliant exhibition against Illinois. Though not prevailing too much, confidence for a win reigns supreme in the Bukeye camp this week. The entire squad from 'the regulars to the lowest manager- is anxious for a win over the Wolverines, for nobody in Columbus can forget the years of 1932-33 when the Maize and Blue knocked the Bucks out of two Big Ten and National championships, HAVING SEEN the Bucks in every game this year and watching their practice sessions with regularity, I cannot help but notice the grim se- riousness of the boys in their will to win the Big Ten championship and further their claims of superiority over Michigan with a fifth straight win on the gridiron. The team has come a long way from that afternoon in September when it barely eked out a victory over a poor Indiana club. The numerous sophomores on the squad are now seasoned vet- erans who have been "through the mill." The boys realize that their mental mistakes cost them an undefeated season in losses to Southern California and Pur- due, and they are determined to make none against the Michigan eleven.

Smick, Valek, Harmon, and Meyer took turns on this practice, with no one obtaining an average result. Kromer and Strong alternated at holding the ball.

In the riot that accompanied the post- tearing-down episode one man was knocked unconscious and another parted with six teeth. In 1936 and 1937 the Michigan team succeeded in holding the score down to a semi-respectable figure but 21-0 was the result both years. In '36 Ohio State's "razzle-dazzle" was too much for a bewildered Michi- gan team that won only one game that year. Ed Phillips, Don Siegel, and Danny Smick started the game and before it was over Coach Kipke had shot Elmer Gedeon, Jack Bren- nan, Lou Levine, Wally Hook, and Norm Purucker into the fray. All of these will face the Buckeyes Satur- day. Last year before 65,000 hopeful spectators Ohio State won out on completed and intercepted forward passes. The last game a Kipke- coached Michigan team played was a 21-0 loss in a blinding snow-storm. Saturday, however, a Crisler- coached Michigan team makes its first start against Ohio State. Wheth- er it will inaugurate a new victory era for the Wolverines over the Buck- eyes is a question that will be answer- ed in a swirl of football players in Ohio Stadium.
