IIGAN D seer )rives Team To Build Up Spirit For Minneso I Light Workout By Evashevski Raises Hopes Kromer Shows Old Form In Practice; Grissen, Flora's Play Improves Long after the street lamps were turned on last night Michigan's foot- ball squad was still being driven hard by Coach Fritz Crisler in an effort to break that quite, sullen atmosphere that has been prevailing at practice the last two days. "Block, block hard- er, block sharper, hit 'em like they're ikGophers," was the coaches' sharp chant that filled {fthe misty air as the squad went through a scrimmage in an effort to polish up the running at- Flora tack. Out of this tense situation came several bright spots such "s Forest Evashevski, the "One Man Gang"' quarterback, who is the hub -of the Wolverine attack, back in uniform and taking a light workout and con- fident he will be in there against Minnesota this Saturday despite a heavily tapped up sprained ankle, Kromer Blocks Well Another heartening sight was Paul Kromer in the backfield doing con- tact work for the first time since the Yale game and displaying blocking form above the average. Added to this was the release of Harry Kohl, peppery little reserve quarterback, from the hospital. Kohl showed up at practice in street clothes, and Scrappy Gopher End IN THIS CORNER' By Mel Fineberg A Topsy-Turvy Year... With the Conference schedule turn- ing down the stretch, everything is topsy-turvy. Michigan, pre-season favorites because of a comparatively simple schedule, was stepped on by lowly Illinois and knocked out of championship contention. Northwes- tern, well-liked in September, was counted out in October but now, in November, is in a good spot to share the rider's seat should Ohio State falter.

Ma.- riucci also caused the Michigan hockey team no end of trouble while playing defense for the Goph- er puck squad the past two winters. hard and turned in some of the finest blocking of the afternoon. Also, the form displayed by "Flop" Flora at tackle was heartening to the coaches. Flora was filling in for Roland Sa- villa who had to stay out of the con- tact work because of a light charlie horse. Westfall Drives Hard About the hardest driving man on the field, however, was Bob Westfall. He blocked and charged as if every play counted, and appeared to be in ;g. top condition to pound away at the r ;.. Thundering Herd ' fromthe fullback slot. 'tx And while everyone was watch- ing the Wolverines and the Wild- cats, Ohio State went serenely on and before anyone had a chance to change the standings, was on top. It was most inconsiderate of the Buckeyes. When the sea- son started the experts had them tabbed for 'a mediocre season. But now, with three games to play' (Chicago, Illinois and, Michigan) they .,can win alone if they don't do any worse than tie one.

In addition to Savilla and Eva- l shevski, Dave Nelson, Herc Renda, orked and Fred Olds were still on the dis- abled list. Nelson was still favoring an injured hip and Olds a damaged shoulder. Renda's two week old char- lie horse still refuses to respond to treatment and his chances of seeing action Saturday are very small. Despite the improvement that was shown, Coach Crisler was far from satisfied with the blocking, and an- ticipates a hard job in getting the team into its peak fighting spirit in a hurry. wx 1a ..I vlade To Measure ction Guaranteed! rations and Repairi ACKARD STREET Last Chance To Enter' WOLVERINE CONTEST. The only way that Michigan can even get a share of the diadem is to beat Ohio State and have someone else tie the Bucks, and then let Iowa and Northwestern tie when this pair meets. A little far-fetched we ad- mit. Northwestern and Iowa, tied for second with three wins and a loss, both have two Conference games to play. The Purple plays a disappointiig Purdue and Iowa while the Hawkeyes must also meet Minnesota. Now much of the attention is cen- tered on whom will make all-Confer- ence. At Michigan it's Tom Harmon and Forest Evashevski, incumbents at halfback and quarterback respec- tively, Capt.- Archie Kodros at cen- ter and Joe Savilla at tackle. Ohio State offers Don Scott, at quarter, Capt. Steve Andrako at center, Char- ley Magg at tackle, Esco Sarkinnen at end and Jim Langhurst at fullback. From Minnesota comes Harold Van Every at half, George Franck at quarter, Capt. Win Pedersen at tackle and John Mariucci at end. Northwestern adherents will suggest Johnny Haman at center, Bill DeCorrevont at half, Don Clawson at fullback, Dick Grefe at end; Iowa gives us half- back Nile Kinnick, end Erwin Prasse, and tackle Mike Enich. Purdue has Lou Brock and Dave Rankin. From Illinois comes guard Mel Brewer and tackle Jim Reeder. From Wisconsin comes center John Murray; from In- diana comes Hal Hursh and from Chicago comes tears. Harmon, Prasse, Evashevski, Brock, all are holdovers from last year's se- lections while Kinflick made the team two years ago. * * * * CORNERSTONES: There was a mistake in the Associated Press re- lease yesterday which had Michigan 10th in national rating with 94 points .

Minnesota Football Team Works On Pass Defense MINNEAPOLIS,-()-Pass defense took up a major portion of Tuesday's drill by the Minnesota football team, as Coach Bernie Bierman sought to overcome the weakness that permit-- ted completion of six passes in nine attempts by Northwestern last Satur- day. Bierman was highly displeased by the work of the defense which fre- quently allowed receivers to get into the clear. The first two teams were put on offense with the third team alternately running and walking through Michigan plays. By WOODY BLOCK Progress is being made on South Ferry Field where Coach Wally Weber conducts his class daily in "freshman football." "At the present 7 time we've got around seven or tenF men we could contribute to the var- sity, maybe more," Weber pointed out. "I'd say our tackles and guards are stronger than last year's, with Rudy1 Sengel and Bob Kolesar the stand-1 outs," the frosh mentor continued.7 "Sengel knocks over everything we'veI got at the tackle post, and Kolesar is1 a bigger and faster guard than last1 year's Bill Melzow." Sengel, by the way, is the Louis--j ville, Ky., boy who was rated one of the South's best linemen. He's a tall, powerfully built lad who is strong both on offense and defense. Kolesar, from Cleveland, was the best guard prospect on the field, but unfortu- nately has sustained a knee injury which will keep him out the rest of the season. Squad Is Bigger "Our squad this year is more ex- perienced, bigger and tougher and has more "go" than last year's," Weber went on, not trying to belittle the '38 aggregation at all. "The next few weeks will tell whethek we send the varsity ten or more college play- ers." The boys who have shown the most ability so far during the four weeks of, classwork under the tutelage of line coach Cliff Keen, end coach Ray Fisher, and the head man himself, Wally Weber, were enumerated by the professor in this fashion: Bill Steele, iDetroit, and Rudy Smejca, Chicago, look like pretty good ends. There are plenty of other good flankers including Walt Peters and Terry Flynn, so nothing is defi- nite, you see. Tackles Well Fortified The tackles are well fortified on Gabby Hartnett Sated To Stay With Chicago CHICAGO, Nov. 7.- )-Charles. Leo "Gabby" Haartnett is slated to manage the Chicago Cubs again in, 1940. He may not be signed before his current contract expires Dec. 31, but Philip K. Wrigley, owner of .the Cubs, smilingly said today: "I think I can say definitely that Gabby will continue as our manager next year. I intend to get together with him soon to discuss plans for strengthening our team." Wrigley positively said that the Cubs will not buy Joe Medwick even if the Cardinal slugger is put on the market. Hillbilly A.C. Whips LloydHouse, 25-6 The Hillbilly A.C. routed Lloyd House 25 to 6 yesterday in a first place play-off game in the Intra- mural touch football league. The passing of Quarterback George Combs and the fine defensive play of Center Harold Nichols of the Hill- billy team sparked their rout of the dormitory team. Jim Lazerwitz aid Charles Keyes starred for Lloyd House. In the fraternity second place speedball play-of fs Theta Xi, led by Jim Martin, defeated Kappa Sigma 8 to 6. Sigma Phi Epsilon lost to Aca- cia 11 to 9. Bill Brown of Acacia and Bob Wheaton of Sigma Phi Epsilon were the stars of this game. one side by the aforementioned.Sen-t gel, and on the other by Pete Gritis,] another Chicago product. Jerry St. Clair and Harry Anderson, two big players from the Windy City, are, also putting in their bid for recog- nition on the frosh squad. Sengel is, however, the top man in this de-' partment. There is exceptionally strong ma-1 terial at the guard posts, and until Kolesar was injured, he and Louis Kasamis, of Elkhart, Ind., had the nod of the coaches. Now that the two "K's" have been broken up, the battle for the open guard position is between George Hildebrandt, Kiski graduate, Hoe Seltzer of Chicago, and; Bernard Van Wagnen of Jackson. Shwayder Hurt The old bugaboo, injury, took Web- er's best center from action with an ankle strain. Bud Shwayder, a Den- ver lad, was the number one man at Distane Men Run For Medals, Schwarzkopf Out Of Race Because OfLeg Injury With the lure of three gold, and three silver medals spurring them on, twenty-six varsity distance run- ners will participate in a handicap three and a half mile cross-country' run at 4 p.m. today. Only Capt. Ralph Schwarzkopf, -hampered by an injured leg, will not take part in the run. The handi- caps have been based upon the aver- ages of the times for the cross-coun- .try distance this fall. The first three men finishing will receive gold med- als, the next three silver ones. The men competing, and their handicaps are as follows: Scratch: Bill Ackerman, Ed Bar- rett, Brad Heyl, Tommy Jester and Karl Wisner. 20 seconds: Howie Egert, Joe Dan- iels, Bud Hamilton, Dye Hogan (who says he won't run unless he gets .45 seconds), and Jack Dobson. , 45 Seconds: Dick Fogg, Johnny Kautz, Bill Wikel, George. Petter- son, Dick Northway and Bob Speak- er.

El I" I FOOT-MEDI K is sold at this spot till his mnxIe cavecd in. This leaves Louis Woytek, Johnston, N. Y., and Bud Keating, Detroit, to battle it out for the pivot post until Shwayder returns. Cliff Wise, Kiski graduate from - Grand Haven, Mich., is by far the class of the backfield. "You can see that for'yourself, can't you," Weber questioned. "He could punt with the varsity today and his passes and de- 'fensive work look plenty good." At the other half, the professor likes Fred Dawley of Detroit, a shifty, hard running boy. George Ceithaml is the top quarterback prospect. Bill Windle, Valparaiso, Ind., fullback has caught the coaches' eye the past two weeks, and Weber admits he has "seen some kind of a spark there." "These boys, by no means, com- prise the first team, the squat fresh- man pilot emphatically pointed out, "for not, one of those positions is certain. There are lots of fellows out there who have shown the ability and desire to learn." With this, the coach concluded his treatise on "freshman football prospects" and jogged away. Sold or at i $1.
