AN ODSEN Wolverines Battle Minnesota For Little Brown Jug Peckinpaugh May Be New Indian Pilot CLEVELAND, Nov. 8.-W)-Roger Peckinpaugh, a leading candidate for Cleveland manager in 1941,-is a brave man. He isn't scared o~f those big bad Indians. "My understanding is the trouble was all between Oscar Vitt and the players," Peckinpaugh calmly com- mented today. "Vitt is gone now, so I don't see why a new manager would have any difficulties." Peckinpaugh was discussing a Cleveland news story quoting "two usually reliable sources" as saying Peck - fired as Cleveland manager in 1933 because the team was losing - had been chosen to pilot the 1941 club. "I hope that's right," the former shortstop said. "I would be glad to have the job. Right now you know as much about it as I do. I haven't signed a contract and I haven't talked with Mr. Bradley (President Alva Bradley) recently. I know I'm still in the running." Bradley plans to announce the new manager next Tuesday. He reit- erated today Peckinpaugh was "one of three leading candidates." SAE Captures Speedball Tilt Lambda Chi And Theta Xi Win Two In Volleyball Intramural Sports activities con- tinued full blast yesterday with one official speedball game and eight volleyball matches run off, all ip the fraternity loop. In one of the highest scoring games of the season, Sigma Alpha Epsilon eked out a speedball victory over Sig- ma Nu by a score of 13-12. Ed Don- ald led the winners with the highest score of the field, tallying six points, three in each half of the game. 'Dick Meinke, of Sigma Nu, came next by pushing across four points.

Trigon completed the afternoon's schedule by chalking up a 2-1 triumph over Hermitage. Varsity Stakes Big Ten Title Hopes In Gridiron 'Natural'At Minneapolis (Continued from Page 1) too big a job on their hands to do any missing, if they wish to win. For Dr. George Hauser, Minnesota's craf- ty line coach, has manufactured a tremendous and powerful forward wall for Bernie Bierman's outfit. It's a front line that averages 215 pounds per man and still moves fast. That's what Michigan must batter through tomorrow in order to' con- tinue on its merry path of destruction. In the backfield, the Gophers boast their own Touchdown Twins, two flashy climax runners, the Faribault (Minn.) Flyer, Bruce Smith and gal- loping George Franck. All told, this colorful, pair have led the powerful Minnesota offensive charge so far this campaign. Franck is the speed demon, and so he should be. For that's the same Franck who starred on the Gopher track team and ran a :09.7 century in Big Ten competition. 'Fully recovered from a chest ail- ment that kept him on the bench during the early Gopher encouters, Smith, the blond junior with twink- ling feet and a steady passing arm, started moving in the Buckeye game and has been a potent threat in the Bierman backfield ever since. The other two starting spots in the Minnesota backfield will be filled tomorrow by Bob Paffrath, a half- back who has been switched to the .signal-calling quarterback assign- ment, and Bob Sweiger at full. Paffrath, a senior from Redwood Falls (Minn.), is a thundering blocker and a strong defensive back, while MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 8.-(_)- The United States Weather Bu- reau forecast a cloudy day with the temperature in the low forties for Saturday's Michigan - Minnesota football struggle. A sharp north- west wind is expected and there is a possibility of snow flurries, the Bureau reported. Sweiger, a human thunderbolt, will do the Gopher plunging. Bill Daley, another smashing fullback, will also see a great deal of action in the Min- nesota backfield. Smith, Franck, Paffrath, Sweiger and Daley are all of the old Golden Gopher School. They're fearless pow- er runners who smash and plunge their opposition into virtual dizziness. They rarely skirt the ends. They sel- dom resort to a lengthy aerial at- tack. Their offense is one of sheer power with little deception. Time after time tomorrow these five bounding backs will plow into Michigan's forward wall.

California HERES J .°Lk r . . T . w+: ~r x .. w + ~, : S fir; r sei SUNDAY November I1), 1940) Pot of Brown 'Evy' Will WeL Captain Forest Evashevski has a new set of shoulder pads. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be con- sidered unusual. But these new shoulder pads are very important in the minds of Wolverine followers. Just one week ago, Evashevski was to undergo an operation to remove a bone chip from his shoulder and was considered lost for the Minnesota game. Now, because of these special pads, Evy will be in there in top shape today. This particular pad, or brace, has a high arch which completely encir- cles Evashevski's shoulder. But at no point does it come into direct con- tact with the bruised member. The pad is specificially constructed so that all the shock of contact is absorbed by the chest and the back. In other words, there is no pressure whatso- ever upon the shoulder. With the kind of blocks Evashevski throws, it seems as if his back and shoulder would be plenty sore and weakened after a tough scrimmage game. When questioned after prac- GOOD LIGHT for studying costs only vr i' ?(: s ar Special Pads rice Thursday in the locker room, Evy said, "My shoulder is swell, it's my chest and back that are causing me trouble now." Sure enough, when he stripped; there were big splotches of red cover- ing his back and chest. When asked if he thought this new discomfiture would affect his play- ing as much as a sore shoulder would, Evy laughed. "No, this won't do any- thing but make me uncomfortable. The only thing I'm worried about is whether or not I'll choke to death out there." Today, Evy And the new pads get a -teal test. There's no doubt that the Gophers will be aiming for that horse collar. Let's hope it's worth the $17 it cost.
