There's no telling what will hap- pen . when the star tackles of both teams, Michigan's Al Wistert and Northwestern's All-American Alfie Bauman, tangle on the gridiron. Both are terrific tacklers and blockers, and both aresformidable pillars of defense. Each side has one injury that may cause an inexperienced man to take over his duties.r Michigan's Elmer Madar, the second ,ranking quarter-- back, will be on the sidelines with a fractured shoulder. His loss, which may be for several weeks, makes Charles Haslam, an inexperienced sophomore, the second signal-caller behind veteran George Ceithaml. Cook Out Leon Cook, Wildcat tackle, will also watch the game from the sidelines because of a strained ligament in his leg. Coach Waldorf will be forced to rely on one of his 4nseasoned sopho- mores. - \ The Wolverine band will also make the trip and will leave at 1:37 p.m. today. Coach Crisler announced the fol- lowing players would make the trip: Ends: Joe Rogers fCarlin Frau- mann, Jack Karwales, Rudy Smeja, Phil Sharpe and Bob Shemky. Tackles: Al Wistert, Reuben Kel- to, Bob Flora, Leo Cunningham, John Laine and George Hildebrandt. Guards: Bob Kolesar, Bill Melzow,- Mervin Pregulmain Julius Franks, Walter Freihofer and Ralph Amstutz. Centers: Bob Ingalls, Ted Ken. , nedy and Bill Pritula.

Giesebrecht Ready T Play For Wings DETROIT, Oct. 16.-(P)-With the arrival today of cente Gus Giese- brecht, the Detroit Red Wings were near top strength for theopener of their exhibition hockey series here Sunday with the Cleveland Barons.. Qiesebrecht had been delayed at the Canadian border until passed by his War Service Board. Of the 44 players invited to prac- tice, only defenseman Bob Whitelaw is missing, and no word was forth- coming on when he might receive his passport. PORTFOLIO 0 Wildcat Backfield Talent 0 Wolverine Line Strength Sy HAL WILSO N Daily Sports Editor STATEMIENT: Northwestern has the finest assortment of backfield talent to be found on any collegiate grid machine in the country. AUTHOR- ITY: End Coach Bennie Oosterbaan who scouted the Wildcats as they crushed Kansas State and Wisconsin with 92 ponits. , STATEMENT: Michigan's backfield corps is improving rapidly, but still lacks the all-around power, polish and finesse of last year's combination which barely managed to outscore the Wildcats, 20-13. AUTHORITY: Virtually everyone who is in a position to compare the current backfield with the 1940 quartet, including the Wolverine coach- ing staff. STATEMENT: As a result of this edge in backfield strength, the Purple maintains a decided edge in betting odds. AUTHORITY: New York bookies who are quoting 12-5 on the Wildcats; Chicago bet-takers who say 8-5 or 9-5; and most of the nation'sexperts who are giving the nod to Northwestern in a close battle. ' * - * * * .This puts the issue squarely up to the Wolverine forward; wall. Up front is where the crucial Western Conference clash will probably be won or lost. The Maize and Blue linemen have the vital and none-too- pleasant task of throttling the Wildcat's dazzling offensive fireworks before they can be touched off. They will have to smother the Northwestern ground game before it can be shifted into high gear. They will have to put intense pressure .on Wildcat passers . . . for the best pass 'defense is a hard-charging line.

Unlimited Substitution Rule May Strengthen Michigan'sChances f s FRATERNITY SCHRISTMAS 0 CARDS, 20% coff Until Oct. 201h. " * Burr Patterson & Auld 0 Fraternity Jewelers * 1209 South University Ruth Ann Oakes, Mgr. 0$$$$$$$ The Michigan forward wall must do all these things and more, if the Wolverines hope to remain a con- tender in the torrid Conference grid fight. On offense, too, the Maize and Blue line holds the key to the situ- ation. Michigan's backs will go no- where unless tl linemen can spring them into the secondary, unless the forward wall enables them to get past the first line of white-shirted Wildcat defensemen,. Coach Fritz Criser has drilled his squad in some new plays this week, plays that are designed to go go all the way for touchdowns. Potentially it will be a power- packed, versatile offense that the Wolverines will throw at the Wild- cats in Evanston tomorrow. But every bit of the intricate ball-hand-' Iing and deception is based on a strong, aggressive line. > Deception means nothing with- 'out a strong line to shield it and pave the way for it. No better ex- ample can be cited than the Min- nesota-Illinois encounter last week. Zuppke poured all his gridiron knowledge and experience into molding a diversified and polished Illini attack. It was said to match in pure deception and offensive wizardry anything the Illinois coach had ever turned out. But ,it was smothered by the huskier, more mobile Minnesota forwards before it ever had a chance to function. And that hvas the story of the game, as the Gophers romped, 34-6. How does the Michigan line stack up for this crucial test to- morrow? The records show, and it is any opinion, that Line Coach Clarence Munn's rugged charges are much better equipped than the prevailing odds on the battle seem to indicate. By BUD HENDEL When Lynn Waldorf, coach of the snarling- Northwestern Wildcats, helped pass the unlimited substitu- tion rule at the last convention of the nation's football mentors and rule- makers, he probably never dreamed' that that same rule might become an insurmountable ,obstacle in tomor- row's clash between his speedy Evan- ston charges' and Fritz Crisler's, growling band of Wolverines. Strong Guards For there is a good chance that this may happen when the Wildcat and the Wolverines tangle at Dyche Sta- dium tomorrow afternoon. And all because Fritz Crisler will have what looms to be the strongest quartet of explosive guards in the Midwest primed for action.- Bob Kolesar, the husky Cleveland junior, and Merv Pregulman, the big sophomore contribution from Lan- sing, will probably start the game at the guard slots for Michigan; but, sitting next to Crisler and line coach Biggie Munn on the visitor's bench will be senior Bill Melzow and sopho- more Julie Franks, two linemen who won't let themselves be pushed around by anybody. And if the going gets too tough for' either of the starting Wolverine guai'ds, or if either one of them be- gins to miss his blocks or tackles or shows signs of fatigue, Crisler will turn to either Melzow or Franks with a nod of his head and a few spoken words. Then the selectee will bend over for some whispered instructions, grab a helmet, and dash from the sidelines onto the field to take his place in the front line pf the Wol- verine forces. Regulars Can Return; But it doesn't end there. For as soon as the substitute begins to show signs of wear and tear, back into the fray will ga4lop the starting guard who has been told of his mistakes and has had a chance to gain his second wind. Throughout the tilt this pro- cedure will continue,,as it has in the past three battles on Michigan's 1941 schedule. So the Northwestern boys will have to concentrate on more than stopping those flashy Ann Arbor backs, Bob Westfall and Tom Kuzma, tomorrow afternoon. They'll have to find a way of putting a halt to thk bruising blocks and jarring tackles of the Wolverines' dynamite-laden guard quartet, because if they don't they will be doomed to taste the devasta- ting destructiveness f four power- packed guards on the loose. 0' Iowa To Meet Wisconsin IOWA CITY, Ia., Oct. 16.-/P)-.- An injury-ridden squad of 33 Uni- versity of Iowa football players will leave for Madison, Wis., tomorrow' morning and their Big Ten contest with Wisconsin. Dr. Eddie Ander- son indicated Tom warmer would start at left halfback, but could not name a starting quarterback. The squad worked on signals and Wiscon- sin plays today with Anderson him- self impersonating Tom Farris, Bad- ger quarterback.

And in every one of these four years, Munn.ias molded a powerful forward wall. It is sufficient to say that this present line is poten- tially the greatest of the four. Tested three times thus far in the yet young grid campaign, the line has held the opposition scoreless in the last 178 minutes. Only Michigan State has been able to cross the Wolverine goal line, and that came in the first two minutes of the season's opener on a scintillating 74-yard run. Since that first temporary lapse, the Michigan forwards have not only kept its goal line uncrossed, but also succeeded in keeping the high-geared Iowa and Pittsburgh attacks from penetrating beyond the Wolverione 34-yard line. Tackle to tackle the Wolverines pack a potent array of talent. Big Bob Ingalls and Ted Kennedy capably man the pivot post. They are flanked by four of the nation's best guards, Bob Kolesar, Merv Pregulman, Julie Franks and Bill Melzow. Then at the tackle slots stand husky, reliable Rube Kelto and Al Wistert, backed up by Bob Flora and Leo Cunningham. Northwestern's line, somewhat of an unknown, quality, admittedly is not up to'ythe high standards of its backfield. But nevertheless Fritz Crisler believes it will be just as good a forward wall as last year's. Which was al- most too good against the Maize and Blue. Thus, you can see the burden that's resting square'ly on the broad shoulders of the Wolverine forward wall. But you'll have to be in Dyche Stadium at 2 p.m. tomorrow to see how they carry it.
