Seven Conference Grid Squads
Make 1939 Debuts Tomorrow
By DON WIRTCHAFTER
Podunk college, Washaw Teachers,
and the like have had their day.
So far this year they have been in
the headlines as far as collegiate grid-
iron battles are concerned, but start-
ing this weekend most of the nation's
top flight teams roll into action, and
little P.C. and W.T. will once again
settle at the bottom of the tremen-
dous "Saturday's Results" column.
No less than seven of the Western
Conference squads start playing for
keeps this week with the strong Pur-
due eleven, starring in the major roll
by taking on powerful Notre Dame.
Purdue-Irish Is Tops
The Boilermaker-Irish affair prom-
ises to be a battle between the three
famous B's from Lafayette, Lou Brock,
Jack Brown and Mike Byelene, and
the four S's from South Bend, Steve
Sitko, Bob Saggau, Ben Sheridan and
Harry Stevenson.
Indiana also opens its campaign
this week against an improved Ne-
braska team. Big Bill Tipmore and
Ed Herbert will lead the Hoosier at-
tack on the squad that threatens to
challenge Oklahoma for the Big Six
crown.
At Minneapolis, Bernie Bierman's
Walter Kitti, the five, foot, ten
inch junior from Calumet, wasf
shifted from his regular halfback
berth to the signal calling spot by
Coach Fritz Crisler this week. He
is being groomed to provide a cap-
able replacement for Forest Eva-
the Wildcats from Arizona, and t'he
defending champs of. the Big Ten
are heavily favored to cop this opener.
The Iowa Hawkeyes will face South
Dakota, Illinois will tackle almost the
same Bradley Tech squad that went
undefeated last year, while an im-
,proved Maroon eleven will not. step
out of its own class for once when
it plays lowly Beloit.
Wisconsin, minus the services of
last year's ace, Howie Wiess, will make
it debut against its arch-foe, Mar-
quette.
State Backfield Tested
Over at East- Lansing, Coach
Charlie Bachman will test ,his green
backfield against the Tartars from
Wayne, and you can be sure that an
Ann Arbor delegation will be in
Sparta town to get a peek at the
Michigan State strategy.
Out in the east, both of the United
States service' teams swing 'into ac-
tion. Army ought to have a pleasant
afternoon marching through Fur-
man, and Navy will tune up against
William and Mary.
Andy Kerr, after a disastrous six
loss, two win campaign last year, will
send his Colgate Red Raiders against
NYU and its Boell to Lineen passing
combination.
Pitt Puritans Play
The once mighty Pittsburgh Panth-
ers will start growling Saturday
against Washington, but it's the "Age
of Purity" at Pitt now. Sutherland,
Goldberg, Chickerneo, Daddio and
many other former big-wigs are gone,
and it looks like a lean year for
Charlie Bowser, the new coach.

Meyer Will Not Play
Football This Season
Jack Meyer, Varsity quarterback
of the Michigan football team, who
had been counted on to alternate'
with Forest Evashevski in the signal-
calling spot, will definitely not play;
during the 1939 season, lie announcedl
last night.
Meyer has been suffering from a
knee injury which he sustained dur-
ing summer vacation, but it was
hoped that he would be in condition
to take his place in the lineup by
midseason.
By CHRIS VIZAS
Walter Kitti, a junior whom Coach
Fritz Crisler shifted from half to
quarterback this week, may spell the,
difference between a 60-minute fast
moving backfield or a first half fire-
brand and a last half sputter. .
Since it has been learned that last
season's alternate at the signal post,
Jack Meyer, will be lost for the season
because of the failure of his knee,,to
heal, the hunt has been on for a
blocker to replace him. According to
Crisler, "Kitti is coming at quarter-
back and he is a good blocker and1
tackler."
Those are the two prime requisites'
of a Michigan pilot, and they are the
factors that made Forest Evashevski,
the number one man at this spot, the
Big 'Ten's leading quarterback as a
sophomore last season. If Kitti can
come along fast enough to furnish the
"One Man Gang" relief, Evie will be
able to continue his hard play
throughout four quarters and not
burn himself out in the early stages.
The development of Walt into a
capable replacement for Evashevski
will round out the reserve backfield
problem, since Herc Renda, 'Dave
Strong, Norm Call, Dave Nelson, and,
Fred Trosko willy capably spell Tom
Harmon and Paul Kromer at the
halves.
Daily improvement can be seen at
the fullback post. Yesterday Bob
Zimmerman looked good, Ed Christy
even better, and Bob Westfall was
still coming along in fine shape after
a fine exhibition in Wednesday's
scrimmage.
-Tackle Bill Smith turned in the

week ."in yesterday's workout as he.
averaged about 45 yards in each at-
tempt. He had plenty of power, dis-
tance, and sufficient heighth in his
boots to permit the ends to get down
the field to nailthe receiver.
Kromer, Harmon, and Strong
looked good throwing passes in prac-
tice, butreserve end Ed Czak was the
only receiver who hung onto them
consistently. While the squad looked
fairly well on pass offense, it turned
in a poor'job defensively for the
second straight day.
Al Wistert, second string guard, put
up his crutches yesterday and worked
out in a sweat suit in an effort to
strengthen his .ankle. Also, working
out in order to stay in condition was
Horace Tinker, reserve center, who is
out with a dislocated lgft elbow.
