rAGE THREE
Varsity Forced To Pass
To Crack Stubborn Frosh Defense
Intramural
Angles
By Gene Gribbroek
As the Independent Touch Foot-
ball League concludes its regular sea-
son this. afternoon, the best dogfight
in years gets under way, to continue
as three teams battle for the title
being defended by the Hill Billys in
the play-offs next week,
Feature game of the day will be
the contest for the League A place
in the championship playoffs be-
tween Robert Owen and the Wolver-
ines. With the two league scoring
leaders in their ranks - Werner
Wassmandorf, Owen left end, who
has a 20-point total in . two games,
and speedy little Mase Gould, Wolve
halfback, one point behind - the two
squads will take the field as even
choices.
Owen lost the crown to the Hill
Billy powerhouse in an overtime game
last fall, and have whipped together
another real threat this year, based
to a great extent on a strong line and
a dangerous passing attack. The Wol-
verines, led by Varsity pitcher Jack
Barry, boast a lot of speed and also
have developed a good aerial game
in an attempt to better their second
place showing of last season.
A beautiful free-for-all was ruined
when those two teams were put in the
same league, because the Hill Billys,
back to repeat at the top, seem to
be the class of the B League and are
top-heavy favorites to enter the play-
offs. They have two victories in the
books, one a forfeit over the Rams,
but in the one game they have played
they crushed the Admirals, 40-0, for
the season's highest score, and turned
up with the divisions leading point-
getter in wrestling captain Bill
Combs, who scored four touchdqwns
In the triumph. They meet the For-
estry Club today, and the latter,
on the basis of their 10-0 win over
those same Admirals, rank as definite
underdogs..
In the C League the title seems to
be going to a new entry, the C and C
Packers.

Running Plays
Through Line
Are Smashed
Harmon's End Sweeps,
Passes Finally Break
Inspired Yearling Stand
Coach Fritz Crisler sent his varsity
squad through its first live scrim-
mage since before the Illinois game
yesterday, and an almost immovable
freshman line forced the regulars to
take to the air before they could
move the ball.
The air attack, with Tom Harmon
doing the hurling, was successful in
fooling the frosh pass defense, but the
line plays went for nix. Harmon's
usually effective end-sweeps were the
only consistent gainers for the first-
stringers on the ground.
After a session of drilling on block-
ing and tackling and running through
plays, the varsity was ready for action,
and Crisler called on Wally Weber to
provide some opposition. The frosh
coach came through, the team he put
on the field coming as close to the
real thing as a bunch of first year men
can be expected to come.
Frosh Line Strong
Stopping the Varsity backs at the
line and spilling them for losses was a
freshman forward wall consisting of
Harry Caswell and Walt Friehofer at
the ends, Bill Pritula and Pete "Red"
Exner at the tackles, and Julius
Franks, Chet Mitchell and Ogden
Moe dividing the duties at guard.
Center Merv PregulIman teamed with
Chuck Haslam, quarterback, in back-
ing up the line, with Don Boor and
Joln Allerdice at the halves and full-
back Howard Vallade completing the
backfield.
After Harmon's passes and end runs
had opened up the frosh defense, full-
back Bob Westfall and halfback Tippy
Lockard began to rip off long gains
through the freshman line in the clos-
ing minutes.
Still on the sidelines waiting for in-
juries received against Penn to clear
up were Forest Evashevski and Tackle
Rube Kelto, favoring bruised shoul-
ders, and halfback Davey Nelson and
tackle Al Wistert, with bad knees.
Kennedy Replaces Ingalls
Bob Ingalls gave up. his center post
to Ted Kennedy late in the scrim-
mage after he received a kick in the
head, and George Ceithaml with a
sore rib and Allerdice, freshman safe-
ty man who injured his nose, were the
day's casualties, but none of them
were serious.
Milo Sukup, speedy little guard, was
still out of uniform yesterday. After
undergoing examinations by Dr.
George Hammond, team physician, it
was found that Sukup is suffering
from persistent symptoms following a
concussion of the brain received in
the Illinois game. There is nothing
clinically wrong with his head, -but
rest for the remainder of the week
is prescribed.

athletic authorities today declined to
play Notre Dame in a post-season

ties pointed to the university's long
standing fixed policy against post-
season contests.
Forced out of the lineup by an
ankle injury sustained in the Cali-

junior, has now regained full action
and is again a contender for the

Gus SharemetL
Aill-American
Gus Sharemet, ace Michigan free-
styler, was yesterday named to the
All-America swimming team picked
annually by the Amateur Athletic
Union. He was chosen as a memker
of the mythical squad's 400-yard free-
style relay team, along with Otto.
Jaretz of the Chicago Towers Club,
Paul Wolf of Southern California
and Howard Johnson of Yale.
Sharemet gained national recogni-
tion last season through his perfor-
mance in the Big Ten, National In-
tercollegiates and the A.A.U. meet,
all of which were won by Michigan.
In the AAU meet, with Michigan
needing a second place to clinch the
title,, Sharemet swam anchor and
staved off the challenge of Otto
Jaret; to give the Wolverines the
championship.
Jaretz was the outstanding swim-
mer of the year, taking five po-
sitions on the All-American squad.
Tom Haynie, captain of the 1938-39
Michigan Varsity, was also given a
place on the team, being chosen on
the 880-yard free-style relay team.
Haynie swims for the Detroit Athlet-
ic Club.
Guy Lumsden of Wayne University
was chosen as the team's 50-yard
'free-styler.

It's Our Turn To Watch .. .
Time certainly makes a difference.t
Before this gridiron campaign got under way, we were looking forwardt
to Nov. 2nd. That was Michigan's day off, we claimed, and a welcome day1
it would be. 'Five comparatively easy games and then a rest period to1
warm up for the "Three Musketeers" that were to follow.
Then shortly before the Penn game, we changed our tune. The
Wolverines were riding high. They had slashed through four foes
without too much difficulty. Penn was stronger than we expected them
to be before the season began. The Quakers had crushed what power
the East still holds, and were on their way. The off day that followed
the Penn battle, we felt, might result in a letdown.
The Wolverines, we were afraid, would never be able to storm back
to greatness The repose would make them sluggish. They would lose
their sharpened points. There was too long a wait before the big games
arrived. They would be easy meat for the murderous struggles that
were to come.
And now on the day before Nov. 2, we again feel that tomorrow is a gift
straight from the heavens. Minor injuries received in the Quaker squabble
have had a chance to heal properly. The Wolverines have enjoyed their
brief respite. They are raring to go, and will remain so. Never has a team
been in better spirits.
This isn't a one-man team. There is more than Harmon. There is
harmony. If you read Evy's story in the Double yesterday, you got some
idea of how this bunch of Wolverines feel. They are fighting as a team, and
not as individuals. They are working together like no other eleven men
ever did before.
So welcome Nov. 2.
And just in case, the Wolverines aren't in the proper spirits, we'll feed
them a little Gopher syrup which may do the trick.
Sherm Langley, Minnesota Daily sports editor has this to say about
the coming battle of the kings. "What about Michigan? Well, we have
a hunch that Minnesota will win that one . . . The hunch might be
founded on the fact that Michigan has only beaten one really good
team this year, . .
"Tom Harmon," he continues, "is great, yes, but he can be stopped from
running away with the ball game. Minnesota stopped him from doing
that last year although he played outstanding football. You have to have
a line if you are going to run for touchdowns, and we won't concede that
Michigan line a thing."
To borrow an expression from Evashevski, I imagine the Wolverine front
line will dig their noses deeper in the ground for next week's drills.
Whether they win against Northwestern tomhorrow or not, the
Gophers will be tough come Nov. 9th. Michigan hasn't whipped them
in seven years.
"We won't concede that Michigan line a thing." Phooey.
We don't want concessions. We want victories. Just three more of them.
LONG SHOTS-What's this I read about Harvard losing to a girl's
school in field hockey? The poor Crimson. After falling before the might
of the Wolverines, their athletic department issued the following declara-
tion. "We will not meet subsidized schols again." After their recent loss to
the lassies, we are now anxiously awaiting a further announcement.
Harmon hit .Walter Winchell's column yesterday. Winchell claimed
that the Ace would be engaged shortly
after the New Year. Tom says it's
false.
Did you know that Harmon, Don
Scott and George Franck are all fra-
ternity brothers. Let's hope there is
no such thing as brotherly love.
Incldentally, Evashevski and The
Great One will join Chandler and me
in picking the wirkners tomorrow.

Ray Fisher, Coach REGULAR SET
the football championship of its
league were given a setback. The
blocked kick gave Chicago a safety
and a 2-0 victory. In this close dame
Dave Matthews of Chicago was the
oustanding player.
Adams defeated Winchell, 19-0, to
make things more complicated by
forcing the league into a three-way
tie-Chicago House, Lloyd House and
Adams House. Dick Harmel and Jim
Julian played well for Adams.
In another game, Wenley won the
championship of their league with a
2-0 victory over Michigan. The game
was forced into overtime, and Wen-
ley gained their two points by making
the most yardage in the overtime
period. Ed Banta's pass to Ralph Gil-
bert was the deciding, feature. Bob
Christenson and Duane Pagel played
fine ball for the losers.
In'the last football game, Williams
won their first football game in two
years by defeating Allen-Rumsey,
25-0. Morris Bikoff was outstanding
for the winners while Howard Ideson
stood out for the losers.
In the fraternity speedball games,
Chi Phi defeated Pi Lambda Phi, 8-0.
Chi Phi's big guns were Bob Camp-
bell, Berry Ratliff, and Chuck Schme-
ling.
Bob Reutter's four points helped
Sigma Chi to beat Psi Upsilon 6-1.
