THE MICHIGAN DAILY AlTDAZ OVEMR 16, 19 Michigan Grid Squad To Tackle Invading Wildcats Today Sellout Crowd To See Purple Battle Varsity Both Elevens Enter Fray With Defeat At Hands Of Powerful Minnesota (Continued from Page 1) Correvont, Ike Kepford, Don Kruger and George Benson could step in without weakening the Purple at- tack. It will be those eight against Mich- igan's Harmon, Evashevski, Bob Westfall and Harold "Tippy" Lock- ard combination.Although Crisler was not certain of starting Lockard at the left half spot, it seemed prob- able last night that he would get the nod over either Davey Nelson or Paul Kromer, the other two candidates. There is another interesting phase to this clash. It brings together the products of two of the greatest line coaches in the country, burly Burt Ingwersen of Northwestern, and Clar- ence Munn of Michigan. Only One Veteran Left with only one veteran, Come Aarts, a tackle, from last year's dis- appointing Wildcat squad, Ingwer- sen has built up a green but amaz- ingly capable forward wall for Wal- dorf's backs to run behind, Bolstered by Alf Bauman, the 215 pound all-American prospect, at the left tackle post, and 182-pound Paul Hiemenz at center, the Northwestern front line has been a hard nut to crack for opposing backs all year. At the ends, the Wildcats will start two lanky seniors, Jimmy Smith and Al Butherus. Bauman and Aarts will handle the tackle posts. Husky Joe Lokanc and the Michigan-bred George Zorich will open at the guards With Hiemenz at center. No Line Changes Munn's line will be the same as the one which out-charged the mGolden Gophers in Minneapolis last Satur- day. Rogers and Frutig at the ends; Rube Kelto and Al Wistert at the tackles, Fritz and sophomore Bob Kolesar at the guards and .Bob In- galls at center. The Wolverines will outweigh their opponents by almost 10 pounds per man. But the Gopher forwards had 16 pounds onreach Wolverine lineman last week, and it made little differ- ence. STARTING LINEUPS Purple Powerhouses don wirtehafter's DAILY DOUBLE Wolverine Grid Seniors To Make Final Stadium Appearance Today (Continued from Page 1) Wildcats Pack Backfield Dynamite ..* * ALF BAUMAN ... brilliant tackle (Tcd.y's co umn is written by Ed Walsh, sports editor of the Daily Northwestern.)t . By ED WALSH Taking to heart the old maxim, "A team that won't be licked can't be licked," Northwestern's Wildcats have fought their way to victory in five out of six games this fall. And so when the fighting 'Cats trot into the Stadium today Michigan's mighty Wolverines can expect anything from a team which plays for the breaks and usually gets them. Spearheading the Northwestern attack will be three packages of dynamite in the form of the triple threat wizardry of Bill de Correvont, Red Hahnenstein, and Paul Soper. Operating from the left half position this trio form what is probably one of the most consistent scoring combinations in the conference. Offensively this threesome has sparked the Purple attack to five victories. de Correvont through his passing and running won the Ohio State game. Hahnenstein passed effectively and ran as well as any back in the country to win the Indiana battle and Paul Soper, recovered from injuries, stole the show in the Illinois game. The combined efforts of the three aided by other Purple backs in the persons of Don Clawson, powerhouse line plunger, Ike Kepford and Tuffy Chambers, elusive right halves, have brought respect from even as pow- erful a team as Minnestoa's Gopher's. Outweighing the Wildcats 24 pounds to a man in the line, the Gold9n. avalanche was stemmed in the second half when a spirited Northwestern team roared back to outplay them in every department of the game. Sports writers from all over the nation who have watched the Wildcats rate them the best team for men that they have seen this year. In every game the 'Cats have been on the short end of weight, experiencc, and reserves, but they have fougli back with a fighting spirit, the like of which Northwestern's fans have not seen since the championship team of '36.' Making the trip to Ann Arbor will be five Michigan boys, three of whom have figured consistently in the Northwestern attack this year. Paul Soper and Ike Kepford of Muskegon, and George Zorich of Wakefield, two backs and a lineman respectively, are anxious to give the Wolverines "the works". Reserve linemen Jim and John Kloote, of Grand Rapids, are other Michigan boys. Especially the 'Cats are looking forward to the game because they believe they can stop Harmon and make the fans forget the "Hoosier Hammer" with an attack of their own. But they are fully respectful of "Terrible Tommy" and expect to meet the greatest back they have faced this year. In addition, they have heard about Bob Ingalls and Bob Westfall, rated outstanding linebackers, "Tank" Evashevski, Harmon's* stream- lined blocker, and Ed Frutig, the great end. Certainly this Northwestern team will not enter the game overconfident. They know they are coming up against one of Michigan's best teams. From end to end the 'Cats have power. Al Butherus and Jim Smith, regular flankmen, are two superior ends. Big Alf Bauman, "the Ox," and Corne Aarts, can match any other tackles in the Con- ference, George Zorich and Joe Lokane are very consistent at the guards, and Paul Hiemenz has made people wonder why he understudied All- American Johnny Haman, for two years. Wisconsin's coach says about Joe Lokanc "if there's a better guard in the country I'd like to see him." Matching your "Kiski" prep products, Northwestern has the Austin high wonder boys who drew 120,000 people to Soldier's field in Chicago. Included in this entourage are flashy Bill de Correvont, the tough luck kid, whose play this year was beginning to make critics duck for cover until he incurred an ankle injury in the Wisconsin game. Alf Bauman, giant lineman. "Chopper" Skor, 160 pound quarter back, "Coke" Madsen, left half, George Maggos guard and Bob Motl, end. , In successive weeks, Northwestern and Michigan have played Minnesota in the game of the week. Today, Minnesota is out of the picture and the two teams who outplayed Minnesota battle in what is likely to be the best Big Ten game of 1940. l--__________ verines would once again take their brilliant place in the nation's grid horizon, when the phrase, "Cham- pions of the West," would once more be a proud boast rather than a hol- low mockery. In the initial tilt of the 1938 cam- paign against a powerful crew of Michigan State Spartans came the first blast-the first indication of impending football might. New names such as Forest Evashevski, Tom Harmon, Ralph Fritz, Paul Kro- mer, Ed Frutig flashed into promi- nence. The Spartans, led by the great Johnny Pingel, went back to East Lansing, a thoroughly' beaten outfit, 14-0. Since that crisp fall afternoon, on which Crisler and his sensational sophomores underwent through their first baptism of fire for Michigan so auspiciously, an impressive record has been compiled. Spearheaded by these same men who will bow out of the home football picture today, the Wol- verines have won 17 games, lost but four, and tied one. Capt. Forest Evashevski: Ever since Evy stepped into the starting lineup against the Spartans as a sophomore in a position new to him, quarterback, he has turned;in truly masterful performances. His flaw- less blocking, superlative field gen- eralship, and brilliant defensive work have been the very backbone of the team for three years.

Each fighter weighed 1472. Before a screaming near-sellout crowd, Davis, who has been a highly unpopular fighter, at best, in local rings, swung' half a dozen low blows at the Pittsburgher, and for each punch was warned by Referee Billy Cavanaugh. When he persisted in continuing these punches, the referee ended the bout in 2 minutes, 34 seconds of the second round. When Cavanaugh pulled them apart and stopped the fight, Davis tore from the referee's grasp, dashed at Zivic, and the fight broke out again. Davis was seen to swing his left foot in the melee, and Cavan- augh said, "He kicked me." The fighting continued until police and Zivic's handlers climbed into the ring to pull the boxing champion and1 his rival apart to the tune of boos from the crowd.I IETESTED" lighting Your eyes deserve the best of care.
