MI( sommumum olson eturns To Squad Today, May Start Ag Injury Keeps Paul Kromer Back, At Work Again IN THIS CORAER, Iowa Star Lost For Remainder Of Grid Season InHospitalBed Length Of Back's Absence From Lineup Uncertain; Kuhn, Wistert Practice John Nicholson left the hospital yesterday afternoon, and will report at Ferry Field today. If Nick's feel- ings and playing are up to par, the possibility is strong that when the whistle blows starting the Iowa game on Saturday, the big junior will be at his usual end position. T"ogether with Nicholson's possible return came the doctor's report that Paul Kromer, brilliant junior tail- back, is still in the hospital, his in- jury is still uncertain, and the length of his stay continues to be in doubt, though he will positively not play against the Hawkeyes. Reserves Scrinmage Frosh Although he kept his first-string- ers from any heavy scrimmaging, Coach Fritz Crisler sent his reserves through a strenuous offensive ses- sion against the freshman team, and the spirit and drive of the varsity men left the yearlings a badly bat- tered crew. e "While the reserves were scrimmag- ing, the varsity lined up against an- other frosh team, and Bill Smith" Freddie Trosko, and Tom Harmon practiced their kicking. Trosko'& eligibility is still undetermined, and. the veteran back will not know whe- ther he can play until after he takes an examination on Thurstay. Kuhn, Wistert Return Dennis Kuhn and Al Witert scrim- maged with the reserves today and both will be ready to go on Saturday,k .Horace Tinker was also in uniform,t but will not be ready to go before next week. Forest Evashevski ran around in a sweat shirt as he gave his bruised bo4 another day of rest. before gettmn back into action. "Iowa's big! You have to followC through!" yelled Line Coach Munnk as he sent his men through an ex- tensive session of charging, with par-' ticular emphasis on rushing passers in preparation for the Hawkeye aerial game which has the triple-threat Nile Kinniclk as its spearhead. Mean- While, the backfield men practiced defense against Iowa passes, with Trosko, Dave Strong and the in- jured Bill Luther taking turns at playing Kinnick. Iowa Uncertain Quantity' Crisler left no doubt as to the seri- ousness with which he is taking the game as he drove his squad through an hour of drill on both new and old plays. "Iowa is in the same position we were last year," said Crisler, "and with the combination of spirit and a new coach, nobody can be sure what they'll do." After today's extensive offensive drill, tomorrow will bring defensive practice against Iowa offense as seen ' by Wally .Weber's 'freshmen. The program for- the rest of the week calls for a combination offense-de- fense drill on Thursday and tapering off on Friday.

Wegber Finds Good Material Amon Frosh Van Wagener At Guard, Keating InCenter Post Show Class In Drills BEFORE bringing down a final curtain on'the baseball season we'd like, to stick out our necks and nominate: MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS: Bucky Walters of the Reds . . . because he'll be chosen. Bob Feller of thV Indians , .the Yanks would be champions without either DiMaggio or Dickey, the Red Sox got along with Lou Finney in Jimmy Foxx's first base spot, but where oh where would Cleveland's Redskins be minus the 24 victories contributed by Rapid Robert. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Ted Williams of the Red Sox. . . and watch those New Yorkers howl. Yes, Williams over Charley Keller with Barney McCoskey third and the outfielders as a group head and shoulders above the rest. LUCKIEST PLAYER OF THE SEASON: No, not Bill Werber who was waived out by the American League by the lowly Athletics and be- came a very important part in the Reds' pennant drive, nor Oral Hilde- brand, traded to the Yankees by the Browns, but Frank Scalzi, the young man who was declared a free agent by Commissioner Landis at the exact time the New York Giants' infield was demolished by injuries and sus- pensions. Frank will be back in the minors next season, some ten thousand dollars ahead for his brief and unimpressive sojourn with the Terrymen. YEAR'S BIGGEST BUST: Johnny Van der Meer . . . and we don't even expect an argument. BASEBALL'S BIGGEST BARGAIN: Steve Sundra of the YankeV four years ago Sturdy Steve came to New York as sort of a thro*-in in the Pearson-Allen trade. Perhaps he took a long time in brewing 'but today he would probably command more on the open market than either of the others. MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: Roy Weatherly of the In- dians . . . with the ugly glare of the Minors staring him in the face, he suddenly came to life and when the finaltallies were in, found himself leading the Tribe outfielders in batting. BEST MANAGERIAL JOB: Leo Durocher of the Dodgers . . . and we won't go into details. MOST OVER- RATED PLAYERS: Frank Crosetti of the Yanks and Harry Craft of the Reds .., take a gander at the averages. MOST UNDER-RATED PLAYER: Max West of the Bees . . . watch him next year. * * * * . Henry Luebeke Undergoes Operation; Other Guard. Also Out OfLineup Coaches Prepare Conference Teams For Saturday Tilts COLUMBUS-()-The Ohio State, Bucks had their first mud workout' of the season Tuesday, Coach Francis1 Schmidt sending them onto the slip-1 pery turf between showers and drill- ing them indoors during the rain. Wet ground for, the Northwestern tilt, here Saturday would be such a con- trast to the hard turf and heat ex- perienced so far that Schmidt might have to do considerable juggling of his line. t IOWA CITY, Ia., Oct. 10.-(04)-, Henry Luebcke's Big Ten football career, dogged three seasons with hard luck, was - ended permanently here today when the 260-pound Uni- versity of Iowa guard underwent a hernia operation. Luebcke appeared in fine shape at! yesterday's practice, but was stricken during the night.-, The loss of Luebcke, a senior regu- lar from Chicago, was a severe blow to the football hopes of the rejuven- season. Ac the other ti ated Iowa Hawkeyes. Thrilling victories over Southj Dakota two weeks ago and Indiana last Saturady had Iowa fans envi- sioning a new deal in football. But yesterday Charles Tollefson, regular left guard and Luebcke's run- ning-mate, showed up with a sprained arch that will keep him out of next aturday's encounter with Michigan. Last year he showed up out of shape and minor injuries kept him on the bench during most of the sea- son. His play in the first two games this year had assured him of a first- string berth throughout the season. At the Hawkeye practice tonight Coach Anderson moved Kenneth Pet- tit, 195-pound junior, and John Ma- her, 190-pound sophomore, in from the ends and begain teaching them{ the guard assignments in an effort to find a replacement for Luebcke's spot. .

EVANSTON-(P) -Pass defense support fron drills dominated the workout of the niak in lea Northwestern Wildcats Tuesday. Don victory, whil Guritz, varsity guard, and sophomore the losers. Alf Bauman, tackle, were absent with Creary passi bruised legs, but both are expected shut out tl to be ready for the Ohio State game House, 8-0, Saturday. Bill De Correvont, who looked good last week despite the team's sad showing against Okla- homa, was running .behind the first TAILC string line. Trudging in behind his-weary foot- ball players the other night, Coachx Wally Weber took time out to dis- cuss the freshmen prospects who have but a scant two weeks of practice under their belts. Two full teams which have been. learning -Iowa plays have been split from the main squad so Weber has had no contact with these boys. "Con- sequently," he pointed out, "I won't inow how good any of the boys are until we can compare a horse with a horse." Squads Joined Next Week The entire squad will be reunited after the Iowa game when the fresh- men will no longer be needed to ;how the Varsity opposing plays and for-mations. However, Weber did ven- ture to discuss a few of the yearlings he has been working with lately Pointing to a stocky, besmeared lad pulling off his equipment, Wally re-' marked, "He may be a guard." The boy referred to is Bernard Van Wag- ener, 195 pound, five foot seven inch candidate from Jackson. Van Wag- ener is a transfer student in the En- gineering school, and played next to Fred Janke in high school. Asked what he thought of Wallace Keating, big, red-headed center, Web- er admitted he was one of the better centers out for practice. Others who are battling for recognition at the pivot position are Luis Woytek, Bud Shwayder, and, Berpiie Hendle. Wise Good Punter The boy who looks like a potential college punter is Cliff Wise, the Kiski graduate. Coach Weber pointed out ghat Wise hadn't seen much running ar passing action as yet, but he has proved his kicking ability during practice. "There's a. fellow named Bill Windle who might be a fullback if he had more speed," volunteered Wally. "And we have a good guard working with the Phys Eds in the morning, this, Lynn Houston." With this the squat freshman pilot jogged up the steps, ;o get dressed and left us to watch further developments of his men, the frosh NAMES not to forget: Reuben Kelto and Joe Rogers. You'll be hearing plenty about these two juniors who came from nowhere to play integral roles in the State rout. A 195 pounder, whose sole claim to fame as a sophomore was the fact that he came from Ralph Heikkinen's home town, Kelto was hidden in the tackle maze last fall which included Janke, Siegel, Smith, and'- Savilla above others. He was shifted over to center in time to travel the circuit as a non- playing third stringer, came back this fall to be tried at guard, and finally was returned to his first love, tackle. Now try and get him out of there! Big, blond, quiet Joe Rogers made his Michigan debut as a Junior Varsity end on the last of the Kip- ke teams two years ago. - He did little to distinguish himself and there were few tears shed when he decided to spend the next year at home. But Joe's back in the fold nowAand he couldn't have picked a more opportune time to return. With Nicholson a doubtful starter Saturday, big Joe may earn a regu- lar job in his second Varsity game. * ** HORACE TINKER, Coach Cris-I ler's able second string center, will have some explaining to .do on this one. It happened at the Michi- gan State bradeast from the Union steps Friday night, and Tin- ker, out of action due to a disloca- ted elbow was the only gridder hon- ored with a spot on the program. Tink graciously answered the ques- tions directed at him, then stepped aside to allow one of the two femi- nine participants on the program to speak her bit. One of the ques- tions directed at the lass, as is al- . ways the case when woman in- trudes on a football program was "Who do you think is the most handsome man on the football team?" "Oh," replied the young lady, who will remain unidentified, "I can't mention any names because he's standing too near me." And since the rest of the team were at the time several miles away at Barton Hills, Tink who besides ranking directly behind Archie Ko- dros as a pivot man, also follows the captain as the squad's arch misogynist, may be still blushing. * * / CHICAGO-V(P)--Ted Howe, full- back slated to replace the injured Bob Howard in Saturday's game with Harvard, looked good Tuesday in a long workout of the Chicago Ma- roons.

IOWA CITY, Oct. 10.-(P)-"Triple threat" doesn't go far enough for en- thusiastic Iowa football fans in de- scribing the exploits of Nile Kinnick, Hawkeye senior halfback whose play is leading the Tallcorn State Univer- sity out of the gridiron wilderness. (Iowa invades Ann Arbor to play Michigan next Saturday). - They want a team that also will take in those seven straight drop- kicks the stocky senior sent through the uprights for extra points in Iowa's triumphs over South Dakota aand Indiana. He came down to earth a bit on this extra point business in the Hoosier game, missing the last three tries. His seven-straight performance is a modern Iowa football record, however, in part because the Hawk- eyes haven't been in the habit lately of making the touchdowns that must precede the extra-point trials. As a dropkicker, the Iowa fire- brand is just a cub. He took up the booting specialty as a serious propo- sition last spring under the direction of backfield coach Frank Carideo,' who is still as good a kicker as he was in his playing days at Notre Dame. Kinnick averaged 8.5 yards from sciimmage in the two games this tyear, he tossed five touchdown passes and his punts have soared high and far. Capt. Erwin Prasse, an end, caught three of his aerials for scores in the Indiana game. Nile is the team's leading scorer with 31 points and his gains, 223 yards in 27 trials, come within 25 yards of equalling the achievements of the other 12 Iowa backs combined.
