Contact Drill
'Butch' Jordan Injured
In Scrimmage; Trosko
Status Still In Question
Michigan's football squad made
one of its best offensive demonstra-
tions of the season yesterday in its
'last contact drill before Saturday's
battle with Michigan State.
The freshman team again took
the form of the Spartan eleven, first
running through their plays and
finally taking the defense against
the Crisler Varsity machine.
On the defense, the Wolverine reg-
ulars halted the Spartan formations
for the second straight day. Twice
the freshmen carried the ball near
the goal line, but each time failed to
plunge it across.
Harmon Scores Twice
Then the Varsity took the ball and
started to work. Harmon carried
the ball four times, and on two of
the occasions drove through the en-
tire yearling squad for touchdowns.
One of these was a 90-yard run, and
the other went for 30 yards.
Kromer and Westfall, who played
with the first team yesterday, also
smashed through the yearlings for
several long gains.
Reserve guard 'Butch' Jordan joined
the hospital list yesterday when he
suffered a recurrence of an old injury
in the scrimmage with the frosh. Al-
though Jordan will be out of uniform
today, he still has hopes of getting
back into playing condition before
the State game.
Freddie Trosko also remained a
doubtful participant, due to elgibility
difficulties. According to Crisler,
"he can't play until he makes up that
work."
The part that Michigan's sopho-
mores will play in the Spartan en-
counter depends upon the Varsity's
showing during the early part of the
game, Crisler suggested yesterday.
Have Plenty To Learn
"Those first year boys have a lot
of football to learn yet," he said, "and
you just can't tell as yet how they
will fit into the picture."
Although the Wolverine head
coach stuck to his usual habit of
not revealing the starting lineup un-
til game time, it seems certain that
at least ten or perhaps eleven vet-
erans will be on the fild when the
opening whistle is sounded.
The fullback spot is still the big
question mark in the starting team.
The sophomores have two capable
candidates in Bob Westfall and Bob
Zimmerman, but experienced Ed
Christy also stands a chance to get
the nod.N
Crisler had Westfall on the first
team Monday, switched to Christy
Tuesday and went back to the stocky
Ann Arbor sophomore yesterday.
"Your guess for Saturday's starter
is as good as mine," he stated after
the drill.

Odds And Ends . ..
Yesterday's loss by Cincinnati raises
:ome distinctly new possibilities as
far as odds are concerned. Before
the first game they were quoting 1-4
on the Yanks to win, 4-1 on New
York to sweep and 20-1 on the Reds
to sweep. But now, new horizons
arise. The latest quotations are:
1. 2-1 that the Cincinnati Reds
won't show up for. the fourth
game.
2. 4-1 Bill McKechnie will have
not a single hair after three
games.
3. 11-i that Cincinnati will
drop out of organized baseball
after the Series.

Sophomore Joe Walker passes this
one to us and we in turn pass it
along for what it is worth. Jockey
Johnny Longden, one of the nation's
top riders, had his boot up on some
horses at Suffolk Downs. Just be-
fore the race, the owners came up to
him and gave him explicit riding
directions. "Have the horse fourth
at the quarter, third at the half, sec-
ond at the turn and then bring him
home on top," he said.
Longden went out and came
home a badly beaten eighth in
an eight horse race. The owner
was 'burning. He stormed into
the paddock and roared, "You
dumb brat. I told you to be
fourth at the quarter, third at the
half, second at the stretch and on
top at the wire. Why didn't you
follow my directions?"
Longden quipped with retort caus-
tic, '"What, and leave the horse be-
hind."
t ne story goes that he lost his con-
tract.

League Of Nations...
That story that has been making
the rounds about Forest Evashevski
being half German and half Polish
is the pure malarkey. The One-Man-
Gang is not German at all but Dutch.
On top of that he's Polish, one quar-
ter Scotch and part French. In fact,
he gets his first name from his
French forebearers who was chris-
tened something like LaDu Forest.
Even Evie doesn't know what the
real name was. The pay-off on this
local international situation came
last year when Evie's grandmother
Ie GF,
came to town and spoke in a Scot-
tish brogue that rivalled their fog
Teammates were astounded.
Also in the Evashevski line is
a training room mystery. In the
Field house room where arnica
and gauze hold sway there is a
line of pictures of Michigan all-
Americans. After Ralph Heikki-
nen's pietuie is a blank framne
with a Crislerisni, "who will it be
this year," inscribed therein.
Then, one day, Ed Frutig's picture
found its way into the picture peri-
lous. Explanation: his =oommate,
Evashevski, had put it there.

Mark Dave Strong down on your
list of improved players. The di-
minutive halfback has been electri-
fying newspapermen and teammates
alike with his phenomenal pitching
and running. After making a letter
at Illinois three years ago when he
beat Michigan with a field goal, 9-6,
Strong saw action last year only
when the game was won.
But this year he deserves a better
fate. He's worked himself up to the
second team and should see plenty
of action. He deserves it.
