THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, .THE Ms ICHa Va~ A V . A1"T@YYG;SL ' 'HU^TD'Y' locking, Pass Defense Are Weak, Offense Strong In Drill -"S 4 >-- Irish-Navy, O.S.U.-Minnesota Tilts Hold Saturday's Spotlight By DON WIRTCHAFTER Tune up the instruments and pre- pare the stage for football is about to turn up the curtain on the third act' of this year's outstanding production, "The Parade of Upsets." So far during the present series the action has been collosal. Not even Shakespeare has given us drama like this during the first two scenes. Just imagine, in two weeks of action we have already witnessed such main characters as Minnesota, and North-, western massacred on the field of battle. Two Games Stand Out This week the headliners include Notre Dame, Navy, Minnesota and Ohio State. The Irish will battle the Midshipmen before a capacity crowd of 80,000 at Cleveland's huge muni- eipal Stadium, while the Gophers take on the Buckeyes in one of the key matches in this year's Big Ten cam- paign. Notre Dame, one of the nation's strongest outfits and victor in three straight encounters by the margin of a field goal, will be favored to sink the Navy Saturday, but the Gopher- Buckeye fray is anybody's ball game. Ohio is undefeated up to date, while Minnesota has been beaten and tied by Nebraska and Purdue respectively after swamping Arizona. Wildcats Face Wisconsin Northwestern's disappointing Wild- cats will perform this week against Wisconsin after "getting the gong" in their last two appearances as co- stars wtih Oklahoma and Ohio State. Other Western Conference games find Illinois facing Indiana .and Michigan playing the part of Goliath against Chicago's hapless Maroons. One of the main battles in the East this week finds Pittsburgh, the As- sociated Press writers' choice for number one team in the nation, fight- ing out an old city rivalry with Du- quesne. Harvard Vs. Penn Harvard, with a 61-0 victory over Chicago under its belt, faces the same Penn charges that went down against Yale last week, while the Eli Bulldogs tackle the Army. Crisler Hints First Stringers To Start Game Trosko Stars On Running Plays; Strong's Passes Click Against Varsity The ever-dangerous M i c h i g a n weakness against passes bobbed up again yesterday afternoon when re- serve backs Dave Strong and Bill Luther relentlessly riddled the Var- sity secondary with a variety of well- thrown tosses as the Wolverines en- gaged in theirthird practice session preparatory to the Chicago game Saturday. Blocking was also below par, as was Tom Harmon's passing in a 45-minute drill, causing Coach Fritz Crisler to di!!::6!!!ii.!!!!Nilii: x:.... IN THIS CORAER L 3y MEL FINEBERG_ Weber Fears Illinois-- "We'd better watch out for the Dutchman two weeks from Saturday," came forth oracularly from Walter Weber. Watch out for Zuppke? Nonsense. What for? lie hasn't got a thing at Illinois but' an instinct for murals. It'll be another push- ' over for the Wolverines. "Don't kid yourselves about the Dutchman's. club. They've got some stuff," replied Weber. "That 26-0 beating they absorbed from South n California carne as much from the heat as it did from the Trojans. It was only 6-0 at the half and that touchdown came when some. of the second stringers were in. By the time the second half came around, there were a bunch of dead Indians on the field. Was it hot? Was it hot? Why, it was atrocious!- 95 degrees and those kids from the mid-West were ex- hausted. And Zuppke didn't even know aioout it. They're just kids and they wanted to show what they had even though they were out on their feet. Finally, the referee had to tell the Dutchman to take 'em out. "That's the team that Southern Cal beat.. Why their last touch- down was a gift. Ambrose Schindler just ran up the field and the Ilni were just too tired to try to tackle him. "Then too, Illinois was playing without its regular center. Bill Lenich was hurt while horsing around when the team stopped off at Tucson, Arizona and they had to start their second string snapper, Ralph Hath- away. When he moved out they used Pete Kovachic. And their ace full- back, Cliff Peterson went through the meat-grinder in the first five minutes and will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. "They've got a sweet kicker in Ralph Ehni and Captain Mel Brewer is a sweet guard.". Fletcher Hall WhipsWenley Chi Phi And Psi U Victors In SpeedballLeague In the single game played in the Dormil~iry 'Touch Football League yesterday Fletcher Fall took its sea- son's opener from Wenley, 6-0, after a tough battle. Chuck Esler blocked a kick which paved the way for Fletcher's winning touchdown. Bob Vibbert's passing and Walt Fish's fine all around play 'for the winners featured this tilt. The scheduled Winchell-Chicago contest went to Winchell on a forfeit. Three games marked the day's play! in the Interfraternity Speedball League, with Chi Phi, Kappa Sigma, and Psi Upsilon coming out on top. the Chi Phi's shellacked Alpha Kap- pa Lambda, 10-2, for their second straight victory. Bill Schust paced his team to this 'win as he did in their win over Sigma Alpha Epsilon last week. Bob Morse gave him good support. Frank Tyler led the Kappa Sigs to a 14-10 triumph over Alpha Tau Omega in a gime which saw Tom Courtney and Bill Black doing good work for the losers. In the remaining tilt in this league Psi Upsilon downed Phi Kappa Tau, 10-4. The performances of Chuck Evans and Paul Keller for Psi Upsi- lcn and Dick Weatherstone for the losers highlighted this game. BOWLING_] The five man teams of the Resi- dence Halls started their bowling tournament last night. The points earned will be added to the All- Sports Trophy score. To add to the interest of the freshmen, Stanley Waltz, gen- eral manager of the Union, has donated a trophy for the winning house. The contest will close at the end of nine weeks, with the teams playing one night a week. The Campus Bowling League rolled into full swing Tuesday night, with each team already having played six games. The Kingpins are leading the pack with six wins and no losses. Dick Wells of the Lawyers held the remarkable high single score of 239. His team however is caught in a triple tie for fourth. 4 Wayne Coach Finds. Long Lost Fullback DETROIT, Oct. 18.-(AP)-A four- day search for a "missing" 200-pound fullback was ended today when George Schnelker reported for Wayne University football practice. Coach Joe Gembis hadn't seen Schnelker since last Friday so he started a citywide search for him. One place he apparently overlooked, was Schnelker's back yard. For when Schnelker reported today he explained that he had been stay- ing home to rest his injured arm for the University of Cincinnati game here Saturday. Hawkeyes Scrimmage IOWA CITY-Seeking to improve blocking and timing on plays, the University of Iowa football team went through the hardest scrimmage of the season Wednesday in prepara- tion for . the game with Wisconsin at Madison, Oct. 28.

FRED OLDS ... Improving Rapidly 16 . . . . . . . )~c , . conclude that "the squad is not mak- ing the progress that it should." Regulars Click On Offense However, when the regulars took over the ball in a scrimmage against the reserves, there was no stopping them. Freddie Trosko, in particular, was quick to take advantage of the holes through center, which was the only place that blocking was effec- tive, speeding through with terrific speed and twisting his way for over 20 yards on several occasions. Harmon handled the ball only a few times, but clicked twice, once on, a pass to John Nicholson over cen- ter and the other time circling left end behind a beautiful block thrown by Trosko and going 70 yards for a score. On defense, the first-string line savagely hurled back the reserves' running plays, except on one occa- sion when Strong broke out over cen- ter and twisted and turned for 30 yards until big Joe Savilla thundered up behind him and crashed him to the turf. Strong's Passes Click Well if Illinois got every tough break then the Trojans can't be so hot. "They're plenty good. They've got a million backs. In fact, they've got backs in profusion and their opponents in confusion. Schindler is best with Granny Lansdell, Doyle Nave, Bill Banti, Bob Peoples all ready to go." "Are they better than Michigan? "They're real good." But are they better than Michigan? "Yes indeed, they're real good." Well, then tell us about your trip to the Coast. Was it a good one? A Thrill-Packed Excursion . . "It was the most interesting trip I ever took," was the answer. "I got on the train at 6 p.m. Thursday and I went to bed. I awoke Ftiday (as is my wont) and read and then Friday night I retired early. I arrived in Los Angeles Saturday morning at eight. I left the Coast Sun- day morning, did the same as I had going out there and returned to Ann Arbor Tuesday night. Very interesting trip." Was it really hot in California? "Was it hot?" That's what we asked you, we informed him. "Was it hot," he said ignoring us. "I got off the air-conditioned train and opened my lungs to get some of that good California air and a furnace blast hit me in the face. I asked a cab driver if it was always this hot and the fancy little joker told me they were in the middle of a cold wave."

"Hurling Hal" Hursh, Indiana's forward passing ace, had completed 25 out of 44 passes against Nebraska and Iowa for a net of 370 yards . . . He has also averaged 39.5 yards in punting . . . Zuppke, when asked if Southern Cal's backfield compared to men like Tom Harmon, ,e- plied, "Harmon? They've got half a dozen Harmons" . Zuppke may think he's seeing half a dozen Harmons when Michigan meets Illinois. I I I I a Willding, York Are Stars In Last Badger Workout TIF.

He' passed to Walt Kitti down the right; side for 15 yards, then to Larry Wick- ter in the same place for 12, and finally hit pay dirt when Wickter took his bullet toss over center,' headed for the sidelines and streaked; 30 yards down the field for a score. The former Illinois star later com- pleted three more passes for a total of 45 yards. Crisler drilled his regulars on sev- eral new plays which will probably be put to use when Yale invades the Stadium a week from Saturday. Reuben Kelto was used extensively in tackle Bill Smith's slot, while Fred Olds also worked out with the regu- lars at guard relieving Ralph Fritz. The Wolverine coach indicated that he may start his first-string line-up Saturday, with frequent replacements in order if the boys click from the start. He will take along Ed Frutig and Paul Kromer, regular end and halfback respectively, who were in sweat suits again, if they are ready. Defense against Chicago passes will be stressed today, with a light signal drill scheduled for Friday. MADISON-()-Bob Willding and' Claude York stood out in the back- field Wednesday as the University of Wisconsin completed its last heavy workout before next Saturday's game against Northwestern. Willding tossed three touchdown passes, kicked two goals and performed effectively from the left half post as a ball carrier. I -i ;"" ..
