DA IL Y DOUBLE
This One's For The Grand Old Man ...
If Fritz Crisler doesn't turn out a hard-battling band of gridders for
today's Illinois clash, there is something mentally wrong with our Wolverine
laddies. That's all there is to it. i
For no squad ever had more reasons for winning a ball game. What's
more, no squad ever had less reason for losing one. This is one of those
gridiron naturals with Michigan holding the loaded dice.
As I see it, Crisler ought to be able to enjoy breakfast and lunch both in
bed this morning, play bridge till two, report late to the game and still find
his charges keyed up enough to defend Ann Arbor from an invasion from
Jupiter. Yes, boys and girls, this is the kind of game that shouldn't require
even a sneeze from the head coach.
The Wolverines know what they're fighting for today, and that
mnvans that they know plenty. For this is not only a matter of paying
back a debt. We aren't merely getting revenge in a return bout. There
are more reasons for winning than that.
Sure, the Wolverines will be fighting to prove that their sensational
Harmon belongs in football's Hall of Fame. Last year, Illinois bolted Michi-
gan's attempts to place the Ace on a level with Grange. This time, however,
the Wolverines are convinced that this must never happen again.
But fighting for Harmon is only a part of the picture today. Michigan
has another major reason for brushing aside the Illinois' challenge.
This revengeful day has been dedicated to the Gand Old Man. All
24 hours of it are his . . . a lasting tribute to his unforgettable service
for the University.
That alone is enough to make Michigan fight its head off this afternoon.
Filled with the spirit of Yost, the Wolverines can do nothing but win.
For the Grand Old Man was a fighter, if there ever was one. His great
teams, the buildings and plant that he fostered, the athletic house that he
built all are evidence of this fact.
There's an old story about the Grand Old Man's courage. A number
of years ago, he fought a utility case through the courts of Tennessee,
clear to the Supreme Court of the State. Even there, however, the
decision was against him, but Yost didn't stop. Dissatisfied with his
attorneys, he went to law school, was admitted to practice, handled his
own case in the Supreme Court of the land and became the first person
to win a public utility case from the State in the high court. That's the
stuff that Yost's made of.
Well, that's the stuff, too, behind Michigan's battle today.
It's for the Grand Old Man .. . the guy who doesn't like to lose.

Plenty To Watch
Oh, there will be plenty for the
aroused Wolverines to watch today.
Zuppke will dig deep into his bag of
tricks to drown the Michigan hopes.
Statue of liberties, flying trapezes,
fake time-outs, the squirrel cage-shift
and a host of other deceptive devices
might be employed at any time by
the razzle-dazzle experts of Zuppke.
The shrewd Illinois coach had to
go through all sorts of contortions
this week to pull together a starting
lineup. He changed his squad around
with amazing regularity. Tackles
were shifted to the backfield, ends
to center, center to ends, etc.
In the backfield today, Zuppke will
start two sophomores, one junior and
)ne senior.nOne ofthe newcomers
is sensational Myron Pfeiffer, 1801
pounds of football power, who led
the Illinois' charge against the Tro-
jans.
Starting at the fullback spot, the
Illinois' kid sparkplug can plunge and
pass like a tried and tested veteran.
Smith, Rettinger Hurt
With Jimmy Smith and George
Rettinger, a pair that led Michigan
to defeat last year, both on the side-'
lines with injuries, Zuppke will use
sophomore Johnny Worban and jun-
ior Lavere "Liz" Astroth at the half-
backs. His blocking and line-backing
ace, big George Bernhardt, a con-
verted fullback and tackle, will alter-+
nate with Astroth at the right half
spot despite a brace-guarded broken;
hand.
Ralph Ehni, a 178-pound veteran,'
will open at quarterback and take
care of the Illini punting duties. His
,toe, one of the best in the business,
has resulted in only one slip 'all year.
But that one came in a crucial point
of the Trojan struggle when a sliced

DOLLARS WITH LIHT!
IN YOUR STORE: Selling merchandise with
LIGHT is like pulling dollars out of a hat ...
it doesn't seem possible. But many alert, progres-
sive business men are using this powerful selling
tool every day to ring up extra cash sales and
boost profits. These two facts have been definitely
proved: I I ) Good lighting in show windows will
often DOUBLE their stopping power and attract
more customers. (2) Clever "spot lighting" and
featured displays inside the store will frequently
TRIPLE sales on specific items.
IN YOUR FACTORY: Increases in production
of 10% to 35% have been achieved through im-
proved lighting in industrial plants. Good light-
ing cuts down spoilage.makes accurate inspection
possible, and is an important factor in promoting
safety. Figure its cost-approximately three-tenths
of one per cent of production cost-against a pos-
sible 10% or more INCREASE in production.
plus 5% or more savings from fewer accidents
and fewer errors and rejects ... and there is only
one conclusion: Good lighting pays dividends.

to study your lighting problems and offer recom-
mendations without charge. Phone your Detroit
