THE MICHIGAN DAILY ocking Stressed As Coaches Drive Wolverines In 'ract U I _ Linemen Smith, And Nicholson Set For Work Trainer Roberts Predicts Evashevski May Play In Pennsylvania Game Every member of the Michigan football team who was not on the sidelines nursing injuries was put through a stiff blocking drill yester- day afternoon as Coach Crisler began the task of whipping his slipping Wolverines back to their former strength for the intersectional game with the University of Pennsylvania. Coach Crisler admitted that the lack of blocking- by his team has by his team has' been a contributing f ac t or t o t h e squad's downfall in the last two games, and that they stood little chance of get- S. ",ting very far with- out it. Nearly the whole practice was devoted to 1 in e f: work with Freddie ..:r. Trosko and Norm Smith Call smashing through holes opened up in the re- serve line by the regulars. At the start of the blocking prac- tice ,the backs had trouble penetrat- ing the red-shirted forward wall, but an hour and a half later when dark- ness halted the long session- the ball carriers were marking off long gains through the line. Some time was also devoted to protecting the passer, with Bill Luther throwing long passes to Joe Rogers who. caught all but a few of the aerials heaved his way. The .injury situation that has done much to hold the Wolverines down, showed signs of leaving the Michigan squad when it was learned that Bill Smith and John Nicholson would be ready to take an active part in to- day's practice. Both men were in uniform- yesterday, but took no part in the contact work. .But just how soon Forest Evashev- ski will see action is still unknown. Trainer Ray Roberts said that it was quite, possible that the Wolverine quarterback will participate in the Penn game. In the event he does not play, .Bob Ingalls, the made-over' sophomore center, will handle the sig- nal, calling post. Giants To Play Night.,Baseball IN T HIS CORNER By Mel Fineberg Spartan Rumbling - 1 Schmidt Works The Dizzy Dean Of College Football I i I I-- On Ohio State i G Aerial Offense ophers Drill Against Iowa Plays; Wildcats Strive For New Scoring Punch. The finger of shame has been pointed at the University and it's not because of the recent football show- ing. We're being showered with scho- lastic accusations and the source is none other than our purist friends in East Lansing. Don Anderson, sports editor of the Michigan State News dramatically exposes the low scholas- tic rating of Michigan and at the same time exhalts that of the Spar- ,tans.! We quote: "Bob Phillips, Chet Aubuchon and Max Lindman of the State basketball squad at- tended the same Gary high school with Tom Harmon ... The -Gary flash might have accompanied this trio to Michigan State but' for his high school scholastic rec- ord . . . not so hot .. . Charley Bachman took one look at it and decided Tom would never get by the registrar's office . . . time to' quit." I i Whew! Bachman must haye my- opia.

"Any ques- tions today," he inquired. The si- lence was stunning. l i i.I I But ever the persevering type, he repeated, "I said, were there any questions?" He was met by a wall of nothing. He girded his loins and tried again, "Are there any questions at all?" and sure enough his want ad got a response when from the rear of the room (these things always come from the rear of the room) came, "Yes, will Evashevski play Saturday?" * * * * (By The Associated Press) COLUMBUS. - Coach Francis Schmidt sent his Buckeyes against the freshmen Tuesday in an offen- sive aerial warmup for the Illinois game here Saturday and the frosh acquitted themselves -handsomely, batting down many a \pass. Don. Scott and Howard Wedebrook, Ohio State kickers, spent more than an hour booting punts across the side- lines, their second straight day of intensive practice at that particular type of kick. Schmidt, by his inter- est in their work, indicated he ex- pected to need accurate punting in large doses against the Illinis. MINNEAPOLIS.-Still fired by the spark that carried them to victory, over Michigan, Minnesota Tuesday started preparations for the Iowa game Saturday with a zest that pleased Coach Bernie Bierman and his staff. Defense functioned much more smoothly than in previous weeks and the varsity made a credit- able showing when sent against Iowa plays. George Franck, halfback in- jured in the Michigan game, was given another day of rest, as was Bob Smith, guard. Both are counted on for service Saturday. CHICAGO.--Coach Clark Shaugh- nessy installed a new quarterback on his first team at the University of Chicago Tuesday as the Maroons prepared for the invasion of Oberlin College this weekend. He is Andrew Stehney, .a sophomore left 'halfback who has seen little service this sea- son. The Maroons went through a light passing and running drill after having a complete day of rest Mon- day. EVANSTON.-Hal Method, sturdy guard mainstay in the Northwestern line, will captain the Wildcats Satur- day in their clash with Notre Dame's once-beaten Irish. Don Guritz, guard out with injuries, was expect- ed either to start or see considerable service in a reserve role. The Cats spent all of Tuesday's drill on offen-, sive maneuvers in an effort to pro-' duce a scoring punch. IOWA CITY-Iowa may toss a few surprise offensive plays at Minne- sota when the Big Ten elevens clash in the Hawkeye homecoming Satur- - day-and the bigggest of them may be that, Nile - Kinnick will not 'be throwing passes. Instead, the star left halfback may be on the receiv- ing end of the passing attempts, a shift Coach Eddie Anderson hopes will enable Kinnick to break free for a few spectacular, long runs. In practice Tuesday, Anderson put Floyd "Buzz" Dean and Ed McClain, both right halfbacks, to work hurling the passes at Kinnick. } i i 1 i l I ', e NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-(P)-"A team that won't be beaten can't be beaten," runs football's favorite fight- ing phrase. Today you can add to that, "and a team that can't be scored on won't be ousted from first place in the national football rank- ings." Admittedly Tennessee's schedule isn't up to the caliber of those of Texas A. and M., Southern California or Notre Dame. Yet the Volunteers have come through seven games this fall, as well as their last five last season, without having their goal line crossed. That convincing argu- ment, plus the high esteem in which they're held by all who have seen them perform, keeps the Vols at the head of the parade in the fifth As- sociated Press ranking poll.

Seven Games Scheduled. Under Arcs Next Year NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-(P)-The New York Giants, themselves, breath- lessly announced !night baseball in the Polo Grounds today-after just about every baseball writer in town _ had been announcing it for them for weeks. "We're going to have the finest lighting plant in the game for 1940," President Horace Stoneham said. "We'll play our first game at home either the last week in May or the first in June, and will have seven games under the lights during the 1940 season. We'll invite each of the other clubs in the league to play one night game at the Polo Grounds." Thus, the last major league strong- hold against night ball passed out of the picture. Just about a year ago this time, the Giants vowed they would never play under the lights, either at home or abroad. Every oth- er team in both leagues saw some night-time action during last season. Ex Tuirf Champion Dies Unexpectedly HYDE, Md., Nov. 14.-{P)-Death today ended the racing career of Pompoon, big bay thoroughbred who won the two-year-old championship of the turf in 1936 and was runner- up in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Sakes in 1937. The five-year-old son of Pompey- Oonagh died unexpectedly in his stall at the Three Cousins Stock Farm of his owner, J. H. Loucheim, in Long Green Valley, where he has been resting since he broke down last summer. Mr. and Mrs. Loudiheim, who had begn staying at the farm during the Pimlico meeting, were so deeply af- fected by Pompoon's death that it was indicated they would cut short their stay and return to their Phila- delphia home.

Stulberg, Basketball Practice Be gnsFourFrosh Fifty-six eager and ambitious freshmen answered Ray Fisher's ini- tial call for basketball candidiates at Waterman Gymnasium l a s t night. Twenty or thirty more are expected to report later in the week. Coach Fisher immediately divided the squad up into 11 teams and let each scrimmage for a while hoping to get a line on the better boys right away. However, nobody impressed, the veteran coach enough to cinch a position on the squad although many showed promise. Scrimmage will continue to be the menu for the remainder of the week and then Fisher will make his initial cut, weeding out those who show the least possibilities. Practice will con- tinue to be held at Waterman for the next three weeks until the final cut is made. The squad will then move to the I.-M. Eskie Fried and Katzman who were all members of last year's team are still playing this year. 1 i' 1 DENVER, Nov. 14.-(P)-Basket- ball fans in this mile-high city, who have run a fever over "big league" cage games in recent years, wondered today if they will have a team to cheer about this winter.
