THE MICHIGAN DAILY PRESS PASSES -By BUD BENJAMIN - Out Of The Hat.. THE WAY football upsets have been coming at us this year it's worth one's life to step out on the limb. However, nothing daunted by the utter disregard for form that the teams have shown this year, we walk, no-jump, in where angels fear to tread. Michigan-Ohio State: The hungry Wolverines are going to give the Buckeyes some blackeyes. A Michigan offensive will surprise and out razzle- dazzle Ohio State at their own game. It's been five years since Michigan has scored against Ohio State but this year they're going to make up for the famine. Michigan will win 19-4, Minnesota-Wisconsin: Our emo- tions say "tie" but reason triumphs. So will Wisconsin. The once mighty Gophers have absorbed too much from Michigan, Northwestern and Notre Dame. But, oh, oh, for a tie. Notre Dame-Norhwestern: They don't come back very strong after playing Michigan and if memory serves us rightly the Wildcats had a slight encounter with the Wolverines last, week. A much weakened North- western linewill be bowled over by at least two touchdowns. Purdue-Indiana: Purdue, like Wis- consin, is title conscious. And Lou Brock, Mike Bylene et al won't let the weakest Hoosier team in years stop them. , Texas Christian-Rice: Davey O'- Brien is the best passer in the country and Ki Aldrich is the nation's best center. The rest of TCU's line is al- most as good. Texas Christian is un- beaten and headed for xthe Rose Bowl. Rice has been the year's biggest disappointment. Three cheers for TCU and a dissenting vote for Rice. Yale-Harvard: Anything can hap- pen in a game like this and anything usually does. Harvard at the begin- ning of the year was the best team that had ever lost four straight. With nothing at stake except possible mar- ket repurcussions from the grads, Harvard should and will win., Oklahoma-Iowa State: One of the better games of the day with the Big Six title at stake. Oklahoma is too strong but watch for an upset here. Duke-North Carolina State: So far this year Duke's goal line has been uncrossed, unbesmirched and unsul- lied. What's more they haven't been scored on. Who is North Carolina State that they should spoil Duke's records? To say nothing of ours. Syracuse-Columbia: This game will be decided by luck spelled Luck--man. Amidst a flurry of passes, Columbia the gem of Morningside Heights, will shine in spite of the national anthem of Syracuse, Oh Sidat Singh (trans- lated Oh Say Can You Sing-a slight parody). California-Stanford: It's quite a way from the ,East to the West and the same may be said in reverse. Speaking of ways, California has very taking ways. California. Michigan State-Temple:. The cur- rent wave of anti-semitism brings to mind the days of Maccabees and the abomination of desolation. So it will be here also. Yea, in the words of the prophet, Temple will be dese- crated. In the other games of the, day we'll take Pittsburgh over Penn State, Army over Princeton, Baylor over SMU, Villanova over Boston U., and hand over fist. It is written also that Illinois will dump Chicago on its respective humph. Georgetown will remain undefeated at Maryland's ex- pense and if you don't follow these predictions it will be at your own ex- pense. * * * National honors fell Tom Harmon's way when he was picked on Life's All-American in yesterday's issue. Don't leave now, Tommy, there's more to come. Mel Fineberg St. John's Drops CollegiateAthletics ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 18-.)- Intercollegiate athletic, competition was ordered abolished at St. John's College today by President String- fellow Barr in a statement which termed the American collegiate ath- letic system "semi-professionalized." President Barr said the intramural athletic policy of the future at St. John's would primarily consider the pleasure of the individual student rather than the "spectator psychos- is" which he said "dominates" the policy of most American schools. Athletic Director Valentine (Dutch) Lentz and his assistant, John Dono- hue, tendered their resignations, ef- fective in June, Barr announced. Their places will be taken by a tutor "combining a wide experience in ath- letics with a full understanding of the academic program," Barr said. Expect Muddy Field For Wolverine-Buckeye Battl Seniors To Sing Swan Song Today -.._ - -- <4 Today's Buckeye Tilt Will Be Finale For Nine Senior ichigan Gridmen By HERB LEV It was back in the fall of 1935. Michigan was in the throes of a bad football slump. The previous cam- paign had been a dismal one, and t the present one wasn't progressing at a much better clip. But nevertheless, those intimately connected with the team still held more than a glimmer of hope for the future. Out on Ferry Field Wally Weber was daily drilling a freshman squad which was big and fast, and was called the most promising group to appear in recent years. Nine Remain This afternoon nine seniors, sur- vivors of that '35 yearling crew, sing their swan song to Big Ten compe- tition. Of the large group of fresh- men branded at the time as future Varsity timber, these nine were the only ones who could stand the gaff. Illness, ineligibility, and financial difficulties caused some of the better ones to fall by the wayside. Several IColiseum Will * Open Tonight For Students When the Coliseum is opened to the public for skating tonight, it will be celebrating its tenth anniversary un- der the ownership of the University. Back in 1928, however, there was no ice surface that could be frozen in ten minutes, and Ann Arborites had to depend on the weather for their skating. It was not uncommon for hockey games to be postponed be- cause the temperature outside was not low enough to freeze the rink. During the first year, Coach Eddie Lowrey was forced to cancel half his hockey schedule on account of this. One Of Best The following year, the present freezing plant was installed,, and hockey fans were no longer dependent on the elements. The system is one of the largest and finest in the country and never has to be operated at more than half of its possible capacity to keep the ice in good condition. Ten miles of piping set four inches apart are depended upon to freeze the 17,156 square feet of ice at a thickness of three-quarters of an inch. The space between the pipes are filled with sand which is first thoroughly soaked and then frozen before the first flooding is given the cement-like surface which results. Lowrey Is Coach In the ten years that this rink has been in existence, Michigan has had' as many teams, all of which to date have compiled a winning average of over .700 per cent. Some years, Coach Lowrey has , had turnouts of over sixty men from! whom he had difficulty molding a team. Other years, winning teams have been developed from a meagre amount of material, but whatever the case Lowrey has always managed to turn out colorful, winning teams. Indiana Harriers Win Big Ten Meet LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 18.-(')- Mel Trutt ran four miles in 20 min- utes, 11.8 seconds here today to lead Indiana University's team to its sixth highly touted high school stars dropped out, as they found the- leap to big-time competition too great, and they fell below the standard for Conference campaigning. Dark Days Ahead Dark days were the prospect for this group in their sophomore year as the green Wolverine eleven man- aged to win only one game, but 1937 saw these boys, now juniors, with a year's experience behind them, lead their team out of' the doldrums to gain a split for the season with a four won, four lost record. This fall Michigan's success has been credited for the most part to the new coaching staff and to the sensa- tional sophomore crop, but the ex- perts will testify that the improve- ment of the seniors on the squad has also proven a major factor. Janke Handicapped Leader of the senior group is Capt. Fred Janke, who'll vacate the left tackle berth he so capably filled for the past three years. Injuries have handicapped the big fellow from Jackson throughout his career, but he has always managed to give a good account of himself. A petroleum en- gineering career awaits Fred. upon graduation. Ralph Heikkinen, who hopes to wind up his career by gaining an All- Conference guard berth for the sec- ond consecutive year, will probably be the most sorely missed of the senior crop. "Hike" will enter Law School here next year. Don Siegel, Jack Brennan, Elmer Gedeon, and Danny Smick are the remaining lineman who'll don the moleskins for the last time today. Siegel, giant tackle, hopes to enter the naval air service next year, guard Brennan will seek a coaching job, while professional baseball will at- tract the lanky ends, Gedeon and Smick. In the backfield, Norm Purucker, Lou Levine and Wally Hook will be playing their final game. Levine and Hook will continue their education in the Business Administration school, while the colorful Purucker is still undecided as to future plans. Three more stars of the 1935 frosh eleven, Ed Phillips, John Nicholson and "Butch" Jordan, missed a year of competition for various reasons, and will return next fall to finish their careers. Full House At Madison MADISON, Wis., Nov. 18 -)- Spirits ran high as thousands of Badger rooters arrived tonight for a campus pep rally preceding tomor- row's gridiron clash between the Uni- versity of Wisconsin and Minnesota's Gophers. Victory will bringWiscon- sin its first Big Ten football title in 26 years. A capacity audience of 38,000 was assured, and Director of Ticket Sales Harry Schwenker said at least 20,000 to 25,000 additional, ticket re- quests went unfilled. Z Probable LineupsE Varsity Seeks To End O.S.U. VictoryString Crowd Expected To Reach Mark Of Over 70,000 At Ohio Stadium (Continue rrom rage 1) in Alex Schoenbaum (227 pounds) and Co-Capt. Carl Kaplanoff (248 pounds), a pair of bruisers about as easy to move as a tank. Despite their size, they lack the speed, mobility, and craft of Capt. Fred Janke, Don Siegel and Bill Smith. The same story holds true at the guards where Ralph Heikkinen and Jack Brennan are rated above the Buckeye trio of Bill Nosker, Ed Hof- mayer and Pete Gales. The center post finds a closer call, but Archie Kodros must still be classed above Ohio's promising sophomore, Charley Maag Young Backfield Ohio's backfield is young but has shown considerable punch on occa- sion this year. Two of the Buck- eyes, Jim Langhurst and Don Scott, stand one-two among the Conference scorers to date. Langhurst has scored six touchdowns in five games, three against Chicago and three against Illinois, while Scott, a reserve, has added 21 points to the Buck tally with three touchdowns and three conversions. Langhurst, a 186 pounder, is a bruising runner who carries the ball on those short chops in opposition territory. He got his starting breakI when Johnny Rabb, regular fullback, was injured badly in a practice game. At quarterback tomorrow will be Jimmy Sexton, whose brilliant 'sig- nal calling has given him the nod over Co - Capt. Mike Kabealo. Schmidt may give Kabealo the nod, however, in deference to his position as co-captain, this being his final game. Nine Close Careers At the halfbacks, Schmidt will start Frank Zadworney and Jimmy Straus- baugh, who combined with Langhurst and Sexton as the Bukeyes' most potent combination this fall. For Michigan, it will be Forest Evashevski, Paul Kromer, Tom Har- mon, and probably Wally Hook, h(e same four who opened against North- western. Observers stated tonight that Ohio would have no back who could compete with Kromer or Har- mon in runing ability. They pointed to Ohio's passing game and declared that if the Buckeyes hoped to win, they would have to pass their way to victory. Michigan's line is considered too formidable for the Buckeyes to successfully penetrate. For at least nine'Michigan seniors, tomorrow's battle is the final col- legiate contest. They are: Capt. Fred Janke, Don Siegel, Ralph Heik- kinen, Jack Brennan, Elmer Gedeon, Dan Smick, Norman Purucker, Louis Levine and Wally Hook. John Nich- olson, Fred Olds a nd Ed Phillips have competed only two years but are eligible for a diploma in June and thus for them another year is a mat- tei' of choice. Bill Smith may also be playing his last game, his possible enrollment in medical school next fall precluding further competition.
