THE MICHIGAN DAILY 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.

Bell *1><= ~o<=;>o<=>0 0 > 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. Raring To Go . 0 . don wirtchafter's DAILY DOUBLE Lloyd's Defeat Sends Lea gue Into Triple Tie When Carl McNicholas of Chica- go House blocked a Lloyd punt yes- terday, the chances of Lloyd's taking Cornell Rejects Bid NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-(.t-Cornell athletic authorities today declined to play Notre Dame in a post-season game for charity. Athletic authori- 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- fornia game, Norm Call, speedy junior, has now regained full action and is again a contender for the starting right halfback berth. A.A.U..Narmes 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. SOPHOMORES All men eligible for basketball manager tryouts report to the Sports Building Monday at 7:30 p.m. Bill Osborn, Mgr. 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. Freshman Basketball Players 01 All freshmen interested in trying out for the freshmen squad report CARM EN - to Waterman Gym Monday at 7:30 -- p.m. Bring your own equipment. 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.
