And often, they (Special To The Daily) NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 14.-Professor Lou Little, who cracks the whip above the football Lions of Columbia, had just one serious thing to say to the usual group of reporters and coaches gathered for luncheon at John Jay Hall today--but that one commitment may well be the key to to- morrow's Michigan-Columbia intersectional clash at Baker Field. MAESTRO LITTLE was in an elfish mood for the most part as he joked and kidded with the assembled members of the press. But he was finally drawn out to the extent of admitting that his Lion outfit is being buoyed, uplifted by that intangible thing called spirit for this Wolverine battle. "You can always tell when -a Columbia team is 'up' for game by testing feeling among the students," Lou declared. "Some teams come in and nothing happens. Others come in and the campus gives off emanations which are absorbed by the players, who become 'high.' And Michigan is that sort of team," Little pointed out. A4tCORDING to sideline observers at Columbia grid drills, the Lions I are conceding exactly nothing to, Crisler's favored gang. They give themselves a great chance to win over the mighty Midwesterners. Outside of this, however, Little had little to say of importance. "Oh yes, we'll take care of Michigan all right," he grinned. "Don't worry about that. We'll give every one of those nice boys an outside room with a shower and we'll take them to movies if the waryt to go. We'll 'even take them sightseeing to the Empire State Building." STRONOMY 31 teaches you that Astrology is not an exact science; So don't bet your bankroll on wha£~Miss Frances Drake, world-fam- ous astrologist said here in New York today about the game. It makes for interesting reading, though. Basing her predictions on. stars, Miss Drake's horoscope reveals that Michigan holds a planetar edge over Columbia. Recently she predicted correctly the Lions' upset win over Cornell. "There are many planets in unfriendly aspect on Nov. 15 for Lou Little's boys," Miss Drake declared. Of Tom Kuzma, Wolverine sopho- more ace, she has this to report: "This player (Aries) shows an individ- ual who does the unusual and dares the impossible. He should add to previous laurels on the 15th. He is unpredictable, and this very quality is favored most on this date." . OTHER HIGHLIGHTS of planetary low-down 'include a forecast that Columbia's fine halfback, Paul Governali, is due for a. big day, while Michigan's Al Wistert is favored most by the stars among the -Wolverine linemen. gPORTS HASH: Latest Broadway odds favor the invading Maize and Blue by 4-1 . . .

Art Hawley, Senior Manager BOB INGALLS start tomorrow's contest, the Wol- verines will be on the verge of putting under fire a record for intersectional football success that few teams, if any, can match. In the past 15 years, Maize and Blue grid teams have engaged in 21 games with teams -from outside the midwest. On 19 of those occasions, they have emerged victorious, once they were tied, and once they sus- tained a one-touchdown defeat. Two Wins Over Lions As for their record against their op- ponents of tomorrow during this pe- riod, the two teams have clashed but twice with Michigan winning both, even though the games were played during the lean Wolverine years of 1935 and 1936. Harry Kipke's clubs took 19-7 and 13-0 victories from the Lions in those campaigns. An added feature of tomorrow's contest is that it will mark tlje only appearance of Michigan's Capt. West- fall on an eastern gridiron during the 1941 season and should-have con- siderable bearing on the possibility gressiveness. Siegal is the' squad's best pass receiver and extremely dan- gerous if allowed to get past the op- position secondary: Ray Makofske and Capt. Herb4 Maack will handle the tackle chores and will be, barring late changes, the only two boys in the Columbia lineup who tip the scale at better than 190. Makofske weighs in at 192 and the Lion leader tops him by a single pound. Watchcharm Guards The guard posts will be ably handled by a couple of watchcharm linemen, Felix DiMirtini and Bill Sinton, both of whom scale exactly 181. Throw into' this forward wall a vest-pocket center who answers to the monicker of Ted Ruberti, a boy who moves the scale needle all the way around to the 178 mark, and you have the Columbia line, small but fast, out- weighed but seldom outcharged. A former Detroit Cooley High School student will be in the fullback PHIL SHARPE. will definitely be the boy to watch tomorrow, inasmuch as Michigan has never been famed for its pass defense. Two more backfield stars who will see plenty of action tomorrow are Ken Germann and tiny Adam-Spiegel. Both have caused opposing tacklers no end of concern during the games played by the Lions thus far and either, when shaken into an opposing backfield, is liable to go all the way. Few Varsity Chages Michigan will present few lineup changes in tomorrow's game and the only starting positions around which there is some doubt are the ends. However, it seems likely that the flank posts will go to Harlin (Whitey) Fraumann and Phil Sharpa. It will be Sharpe's first starting job al- though he played all but five minutes of the Illinois game and turned in a masterful exhibition, both on offense and defense. i - i . k TUP IVtINT RECIPE i 1or TIME on my hands... GARG on my mind.« A powerful Ann Arbor High School' team wound up an undefeated foot- ball season and walked off with the "5-A" championship by drubbing Jackson High at Wines Field last night by the score of 26-7. All of the Pioneers' scoring was chalked up by Capt. Dick Walter- house and fullback Ralph Chubb, two sensational seniors playing their last game for Ann Arbor. A record-breaking crowd of 6,500 fans saw Chubb climax a 95-yard march for the first score on/a smash from the 15-yard line. Walterhouse's plunge from the 2-yard line gave the locals their second score after the Purple had marched 35 yards in the second quarter. In the third period, Chubb broke through the Jackson line on a spinner and raced 65 yards for another touch- down, while speedy Walterhouse hung up his team's final yore on a 3-yard slant off tackle in the last quarter. Walterhouse's two touchdowns and two extra points gave him a total of 126 points for the season. Horace Smith, who chalked igp well over half the yardage made by the visitors, climaxed a 75-yard march in which he did the brunt of the ball- carrying by bucking over from the 2-yard line for Jackson's only score. The triumph was Ann Arbor's sev- enth against a lone tie at the hands of Lansing Central.{ 4 .,n.n... m aft. war...
