Yale has played Columbia, Army; nd Penn, and their only loss was to ie Quakers by a narrow 6-0 margin. i all these games, 'Ducky' Pond's xuad has shown a powerful running ad passing attack behind a line that eld the Cadets to 5 yards by rush- g in their game with the Army aturday.

One of the highlights should. be the get-together of the 1901 ''550-0" team. Five of its seven living mem- bers will be in Ann Arbor, according to Fielding H. Yost. Coach Yost awaits seeing his former star half- back Everett Sweely, who is flying in from Twin Falls, Idaho, for his first visit to the Michigan campus since his gridiron days. Sweely, who starred in the 1901 Rose Bowl victory for Michigan, was a great punter and. defensive man. He went through two years of com- petition without having a kick blocked. The last kick of his career went 95 yards, which is no mean.boot in any man's league. Playing half- back and end with equal versatility, Sweely can be considered among the really great Michigan stars of yester- years. -Other prominent members of the' 1901 first team who will be welcomed by their coach, Fielding H. Yost, will be Willie Heston, baekfield star, Charles Baird, who presented the Carillon Tower to te'. University, ;Hernstrom, Graver, and Redner. The reunion is being regarded with inter- est by "M" men and all who follow Michigan football. Iowa Shows, Well In Drill Badger Squad Is Effective In Defense,_Blocking IOWA CITY. -(AIP- Wednesday's practice by the University of Iowa football squad was considered by Coach Eddie Anderson as the best in two weeks, with the players showing top form in signal drills and putting up a good defense against freshmen using passing plays the HIawkeyes ex- pect to encounter when they meet Wisconsin at Madison Saturday. MADISON.-01--Looking especial- ly effective on pass defense, the Uni- versity of Wisconsin Badgers went through a long drill Wednesday against a freshman football squad using Iowa plays. Coach Harry Stuhldreher was pleased with the snap and precision displayed during a session on blocking. BLOOMINGTON. -(p)-- Indiana University's football team tried ou new defensive formations Wednesday as Coach Bo McMillin laid plans for stopping Ohio State's versatile backs at Columbus Nov. 4. McMillin called the Buckeye backfield "man for man' probably the greatest in the coun- try." EAST LANSING, Oct. 25. -()- While the football reserves at Michi- gan State College scrapped among themselves for a chance to play against Illinois Wesleyan here Satur- day, the varsity found itself sent back to brushing up on their tackling and blocking this week. Bachman was critical of the Spar- tan's blocking in the Purdue encoun- ter last week, declaring some of the linemen were "trying to block with their heads."

By ART HILL An 85-0 slaughtering, such as Fritz Crisler's Wolverines handed the hap- less Chicago squad on Saturday last, usually produces no outstanding star. In such a game, the score itself is the news. This was the case Satur- day, to a great extent, but one feature. of the contest (if such it may be, called) was the fact that a Wolver- ine guard named Bill Melzow suc- cessfully place-kicked four points after touchdown in four attempts. This is .news which should be of more than ordinary interest to Michi-° gan grid fans because in recent years, dropping those place-kicks through the crossbars has ben a department in which Michigan has been consid- erably less than tops. This was even' true on last year's strong eleven, a point which is brought home most forcibly when one considers that rankling 7-6 de- feat by Minnesota's Gophers. Melzow, medium-height blond lad, weighing in the neighborhood of 185 pounds, is only a sophomore which means that he will be around for two Purdue Mentor Flails Grid Officiating Errors OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 25.-(P)-A.H. "KMal" 'lward, head football coach for Purdue, aired his views on referee- ing here today en rounte to San Francisco with his team for the game Saturday with Santa Clara, Elward commented: "Refereeing being what it is, what's the sense of working all year so some ,bloke can spoil everything -you've done in an hour on Saturday? "Minnesota's better than Notre Dame, and improving every game. Fast, aggressive backs, a rapidly im- proving line. But we should have beat Minnesota. We got a bad deci- sion." Elward said that against Notre Dame a referee who stood 35 yards from the goal said the ball went over the post when, according to Elward, the placekick was not good. The deci- sion, he added, gave Notre Dame the game. more seasons to help add those extra points. The, four he added against the Maroons brought his total for the season to six in seven attempts. Bill was an all-state tackle at Flint Central High where he played before coming to Michigan. However, he played guard on offense so that he could pull out of the line and run, interference. In addition to place-kicking, Bill is also renowned as a downfield blocker, in which capacity he caused opponents of Flint Central no little remorse. Since coming to Michigan, Bill has been playing guard both on offense and defense for, as he himself ex- presses it, "You've got to be a big man to play tackle in Big Ten.com- petition." Not that Bill is exactly diminutive, but he is small enough to make his services most valuable at the guard position. Asked why he chose the line rather than the backfield, Bill doesn't hesi- tate a second. "I had some very definite ideas about football when I started in High School," he replies. "I think physical contact is the es- sence of the game, and you get that by playing in the line. None of this backfield stuff for me." All of which makes Mr. Melzow the answer to a coach's prayer, as far as temperament is concerned. Not concerned with fame and glory, he just wants to get out in front of the ball-carrier and knock a few opponents off their feet. That is the stuff that makes a good lines- man great. Yale? Well, Bill thinks they have a better line than any opponent Michigan has met thus far. "It's fairly big, very smart and has plenty of spirit," he points out. But one, man who will be doing his best to slow the Eli advance guard up a little will be a chunky guard named Bill Melzow. The Problem Child... The Chicago-Big Ten football ques- tion-dormant until the recent 85-0 debacle with Michigan-has not as quickly gone back to the umbrage under which it had previously shroud- ed itself. Although, according to Prof. Ralph .W. Aigler, chairman of the Board in Control of Physical Sdu- cation, the Big Ten itself will not take the initiative in either suggesting or demanding that Chicago withdraw, there still are several forks along'the road Chicago is now traveling. "It all depends on what Chicago wants to do," said Aigler. "The Con- ference won't ask them to do any- thing at all. There is, of course, one thing that the newspapers have over- looked in agitating for their with- drawal from the Big Ten. Chicago might drop out of football and still continue as members. (Ed. note:; This Corner offered the suggestion on Oct. 24 that the Maroons onlyi drop out of those sports which were highly competitive and whose suc- cess conflicted with its policy of ath- letic de-emphasis.) There is nothing in the by-laws of the Conference that requires a university to compete in s football." Even a cursory examination of the facts will show the truth of this statement. Michigan, Minne- sta and Illinois are the only uni- versities with hockey teams; Chi cago already does without a wrestling squad; Michigan en- gages in no gymnastic competi- tion. But if Chicago withdraws from football, say at the December meet- ing of the Conference, then what will happen to the Michigan football schedule which has already been made out and which includes the Maroons for the next three years? "Well, if they intend to drop out of football," replied Professor Aigler, "we'll have no choice but to drop them from our schedule." But that leaves some teams with' only seven games on the schedule.l In such a contingency would there be any possibility of a re-arrange- ment of Conference games so that those teams who were to play Chi- cago could play each other? "That might be done," he said, "but when you start juggling schedules you ;run into allot of complications. You can ne r tell what ramifications might develop. Schedules are pretty sensitive." * * * And Then Wht. But, suppose Chicago doesn't drop out, then would Michigan continue to schedule them when the present committments run out? After last Saturday's game which was such a dismal flop both financially and technically, (it drew only 4,800), in- terest would certainly continue to drop until no one except the coaches and the players would show up. And even then, three of Michigan's varsity didn't make this trip. "The University doesn't only R S.G A .REG.U.S. PAT. J. ,WY9 w et,/ l ~I concider finances when schedul- ing teams.1f we had, we wouldn't have met :Chicago this year-or even Iowa. -We could have had plenty of gamnes that would have nearly filled the stadium. Of course, it's an important aspect of 'theproblem but it's not the whole problem." Yes, the Chicago question is still with us. Last May, at the Conference meeting here, Chicago presented a tentative plan for the possible par- ; ticipation of graduate students who have had three years of competitioi or to the allowing of men who have :had three years competition in one sport to be eligible for another sport. It was just a feeler and since that time there has been no public ex- pression of approbation or criticism., This may come next December but thus far no program .for the meeting has been published. But something's brewing and it ain't the kindof stuff that Governor3 Dickison despises. S * What next? Last week somebody wrote Tom Harmon a leter and;told him he had, ;named his son' after the Hoosier Hammer. Now some .gent from New York names a horse after him. The cogent part of the letter follows: "I have named ;L;horse in your honor and I have named him Tom H. But since he:is only one year old he will not run for a 'year. I assure you that when he does run I will be sure to notify you in time for you:tolay a"bet. I wish you were here as I am having great success with my horses. (How does this tie in). I would like to show you around New nprk but AWichigan is better. Hoping to hear from, you I re- main -Bill Johnson" Harmon says that he'll hold his breath until he gets the feedbox tip. All we can say is that it's a horse on ,Harmon.

Howard Ide- son broke loose for "a touchdown in the last minutes of the overtime period to break the tie and give the win to Allen-Rumsey.' Bob Dillingham turned in a good game for the winners at his guard post, while Marvin Taylor's running and passing and Dave Eldredge's fine defensive work at end were the big factors in Wenley's losing battle. The ocher game in this league turned out to be another close one, with Lloyd House nipping Chicago by one point, 14-13. Frank McCabe and Lilburn Ochs paced Lloyd to the win in the highest scoring game of the season so far. In the speedball circuit Psi Upsilon nosed out Kappa Sigma in a- close interfraternity battle, 6-5. Chuck Evans was the Psi U pacemaker, while Nevin Stevenson turned in a good game for theKappa Sigs.
