Wolverines Devote Light Practice Session To Aerial Plays Pass Defense Is Emphasized For OSU Tilt Tennessee Yields Lead In National Grid Poll To Texas A & M 9-' N, U.* This Hole Closed A Moment Laer-But Harmn Was Over Team Comes Out Of Penn Fray With Few Injuries; Reserves Battle Frosh Abandoning his previous custom of excusing the regulars from Monday practice, Coach Fritz Crisler sent his team through an intensive passing drill in preparation for the season finale here Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Indications are that Crisler plans to fight fire with fire when Coach Francis Schmidt brings his Big Ten pace-setters to town. In an offen- 4ive passing drill, the Wolverine men-. tor stressed particularly protection for the passer as Tom Harmon threw a variety of tosses to ends John Nich- olson and Ed Czak and backs Forest Evashevski, Fred Trosko and Bob Westfall., Pass Defense Stressed Pass defense, which proved the ma- jor Mic'igan weakness in the Wol- verines' '19-17 triUinph over a fight- ing Pennsylvania eleven last Satur- day, was likewise stressed as it will be for the remainder of the week. Crisler warned the squad that in Don Scott, 200-pound quarterback, the Buck- eyes have one of the finest passers in the country, not to mention a great runner, punter and blocker. The squad appeared in good shape yesterday, with only minor injuries to show for the gruelling battle with the Quakers. End Joe Rogers, tackle Bill Smith and reserve center Hor- ace Tinker missed the practice ses- sion because of late classes, but will report this afternoon. Paul Kromer, the only other mem- ber of the Wolverine team who failed 'to report, was at his home at Lorain,' Ohio, and is expected to be back early Wednesday. Squad Sees Movies At the conclusion of the passing drill, the Wolverine first-stringers witnessed moving pictures of the Penn game to determine which depart- ments of the game need brushing up in time for the Ohio State battle. Crisler gave his reserves a work- out against Wally Weber's freshmen and it proved to be little more than that. With Norm Call carrying the brunt of the attack, the reserves pushed the frosh all over the field for several scores. Only the excellent punting of Cliff Wise saved his team- mates from further humiliation. Clock "lamed In Penn Mixup Rules Committee Member To Ask Fifth Official PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20 () A timing dispute at the close of Saturday's Penn - Michigan game I here brought a suggestion today from a Football Rules Committee mem- ber that a fifth official be appointed for college games timed by electric clocks. Wilmer G. Crowell, district mem- ber of the committee, said he would recommend such an appointment. Saturday's controversy grew from an argument over the legality of a short kickoff by Penn in the final minute of the game. Penn players fell on the ball as soon as it struck the ground-and it was given to them.i While officials strove to settle an argument over the kick, the electric clock over the field-chosen before; the game as the official timer- moved on and the game ended with, Michigan the winner, 19-17. Asked if the referee would not have the right, under the rules, to rectify a mistake in timing, Crowell replied: "The referee does not have the right, under the rules, to turn back the hands of the official clock." -Daily Photo by Merriman Michigan linemen piled up two deep to give Harmon plenty room for the first Wolverine score in the second quarter of Saturday's battle with the Quakers. This play gave the invaders a 6-3 lead in the game which they finally won 19-17. The Penn would-be tackler is Allen (13). Ir front of him is Kelto (58), and on the other side of the hole is Kodros (53). Sukup is the man on the ground waiting so expectantly for Harmon to cross the :goal line.

After four straight weeks in the driver's seat, the Vols were dropped into second place in the season's sixth Associated Press ranking poll.' At the same time the Aggies, a tean which Coach Homer Norton convert- ed from a southwest conference also-' ran into a club only one game away from a perfectseason, drew 38 first- place votes, 37 seconds and 17 thirds on 110 ballots for a total of 93 points. That was enough to beat out Ten- nessee by 65 points, and even th Vols were hard-pressed to hold sec- ond. Roaring up behind them with a 35-6 scalping of Dartmouth's In- dians came unbeaten and untied Cor- nell, whose performance was impres- sive enough to earn 865 points, only 33 less than Tennessee and 101 more than SouthernCalifornia, which had been third a week ago.

If I hadn't missed my block on the line- backer, Harmon would never have had to reverse his field. And what's more I gave him moral encourage- ment. I sat on my pants and yelled Go on, Tom. Run'." The pictures proved the modest Mr. Ingalls wrong on both points. It also showed him along with Sukup get- ting in a final block that enabled the Hammer to keep running. And the block was on the other side of the field, about 45 yards from where In- galls claims to have been reclining at the time. Swim Festival Wi 11 Preview Natator Squad By DON WIRTHAFTER Matt Mann and his Wolverine swim squad are holding a reception for Ohio State visitors and their friends on the eve of the Buckeye- Michigan gridiron clash. It seems that the Wolverines have two -blind dates later on this season with their buddies from Columbus, and they'd like to take this opportun- ity to get better acquainted, so they're inviting them to their Swim Gala Friday at the I-M Pool. Gives Visitors A Look First of all, they would like to -have the Ohio State rooters get a peek -at the remnants of last year's Wolverine squad that fought the Buckeyes to two deadlocks in dual meets. There isn't much missing from last year's squad, and besides there are a host of sophomore stars coming up to fill t-he gaps. Then, too, there is some freshman material that's go- ing on clis lay. J1im Skinner, the phenomenal Ann Arbor lad will go after the world's 100-yard breast stroke mark Friday, and since he now holds the record himself, there is a good chance that the Gala spectators will be in to see the kill. Skinner Holds World Mark Skinner set the century mark of 1 :02.1 while swimming for Phillip Exeter Academy in New Raven last January and also holds the 220 record in the same stroke which he set at the Detroit Boat Club in August. In Skinner, the Gala fans will get a look at the lad whom they might call "the DeCorrevont of the swim- ming world," judging by the public- ity that he's already received, al- though only a freshman in college. Matt and his . swimmers will put on a show that the spectators will. long remember. There will be ex- pert exhibitions of swimming and Trojans' Goal At Notre Dame Californians Begin Long Trip To South Bend LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.-(P)- The mighty Trojans of Southern California headed East tonight, bound for South Bend and the four- teenth grid battle with the Irish of Notre Dame. Thirty-nine stalwarts of Troy were selected for the trip. Of these at least two were hopeful that history would repeat itself in this bitterly- waged intersectional warfare. They were Grenville Lansdell, No. 1 man of Troy's imposing array of quarterbacks, and Harry Smith, 220- pound running guard, Southern Cali- fornia's leadingscandidates for All- American honors. Two years ago when U.S.C. invaded the Notre Dame backyard big Harry Smith suddenly barged out of the substitute ranks and turned in a game that started him on the road to national recognition as the most feared of Troy's linemen. Last year U.S.C, wrecked a perfect season for the Irish. Notre Dame can return the favor this year, with interest, because Troy happens to be the best bet to win the right to represent the Pacific Coast Confer- ence in the Rose Bowl. diving, as well as a well-planned program of stunts and comedy.

It was an entirely different Michi- gan football team which wended its weary, but happy, way home from a thrilling Pennsylvania victory than the one which had homeward plod- ded after the Illinois upset. * * * 2 But it was only fitting that Michi- gan should have won. It was a sort of Eastern homecoming and after all, the old grads need something to en- joy their holiday from the rigor of Manhatten and the mortis of Wall Street. *** * The alumni had a dinner and then a party at one of the hotels in Phila- delphia. Anyone could tell it was an alumni party. It was $3.00 a plate. That's a pretty good indication. One of the unusual things about the dinner was that the football team was gathering its vitamins and pro-. teins at another hostel three blocks' away. It was like having a wedding. without a bride and groom. Of course, that's not quite as bad as having a wedding and a bride present without the. groom. * * * * Many of the football players came over after dinner and if Tom Har- mon didn't get enough exercise pranc- ing around and over quaking Quak- ers in the afternoon he worked out the loose ends at the party. He was signing autograph after autograph and it looked a little out of perspec- tive to see Harmon signing his name for the slightly awed-and slightly embarrased-old grads. * * ** Incidentally, Harmon almost had his writing hand disabled in the afternoon by one Francis Xavier Reagan, a rather sprightly Pennsyl- vania chap. In the fourth quarter it appeared as though the Hammer were going- to add another climax to a too-climactic afternoon by running for an 89-yard touchdown around his right end. * * t*. Reagan, a rather perverse person all afternoon, had different ideas, however. After Harmon had tramped about 40-yards and had nothing be- tween the goal line and himself but this Irish chap and 10 line stripes, Reagan hit him. Harmon twisted loose and the Quaker clutched for the last straw, much like a drowning man. The last straw was Terrible Tommy's sleeve and he hung on for dear life. The sleeve ripped part way; Harmon' tugged and tugged but it wouldn't come loose. So finally a very tired Harmon must have murmered to, himself "if that's the way you want to be, okay." And anyhow, about that time a couple of other of the Real and Blue came up and decided to make a party of it. They used Harmon for the cake. The irony of the whole thing is that Harmon usually rolls his sleeves up. Next year you can expect Coach Cris- ler to order sleeveless jerseys. * ***i The jerseys were on a ripping spree as a decided whole Saturday. Har- mon ripped his on the first play;, Eyie's went soon after and Rogers' followed. All three changed between the halves. *1 * * * On the on-side kick in the last 30 seconds of the game it was very ob- vious what the play was going to be. The ball rolled down to the Michigan 45 and Ralph Fritz :nd Joe Savilla watched it like a hawk. They were, still watching it when Pennsylvania ; men swarmed on it. Either they thought the ball had teeth and would bite or that if it touched them it would be a free ball. Any kick-off that travels over 10 yards is a free ball. There has been as many versions about who threw the decisive block on Harmon's marathon touchdown run as there are hairs not on Milo Sukup's head but the pictures bear out The Daily's assertion that it was; Archie (it's bong tonight) Kodros who threw it. It's been credited to Bill Smith, Forest Evashevski (who was on the bench at the time) and Ralph Fritz. But the kickback comes from D.
