THE MICHIGAN DAILY TLIESI)AY. SEPTIEINIBERt20", Victory-Hungry Spartans Battle Wolverines Here Sati irday State To Start Veteran Team In Initial Tilt Bachman's Gridders Hope To End Varsity's Three Vear StringOf Victories EAST LANSING, Sept. 22-Michi- gan State College will send a "hun- gry" football team against the Uni- versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor next Saturday afternpon. The Spar- tan squad, composed largely of sen- iors, has never tasted victory over/'the Wolverines, anti their1 record for the past two seasons is only seven victor- ies as against eight defeats and a tie. Never having had a winning season, the Spartan veterans who are having their last fling can be expected to set their sights higher than if they had won frequently. At least, Coach Charley Bachman and his staff are hoping some such inspirational urge will push the Spar- tans to a new high. For, as the squad enters the last ldp of practice for the game, there does not appear to be a aingle standout, player. In the days when State was abig winner, there were always two or three players who stood above the others. There were Johnny Pingel, Kurt Warmbein, Ed Klewicki, Sid Wagner and others who blazed across 'the football sky. This year's squad is one composed of good football players, but none thus far has shown the ear-marks of a bril- liant performer. Friedlund Best Receiver If there is a real star in prospect it may be Robert Friedlund, the 195- pound right end who last year made some spectacular catches of forward passes. He has shown in practice that he has lost none of the knack that won him the respect of most 6f the opponents on last year's sched- ule. Then there is Bill Rupp, the guard, who a year ago won a place on every all-opponent team except one. One team made no such selection. Rupp, although weighing only 185 pounds, is unusually strong, and de- fensively -he is not supposed to. have an equal on the Spartan squad. He recovered 13 fumbles in two years of, play. Another candidate who may' spring forward to gain top-ranking Is Wyman Davis, theisenior left half- back who is a Dead-Eye-Dick in throwing forward passes. Davis is a sound, all-around player whose fame may be greatly increased if the c6aches can dig up a couple op good rfeceivers to catch his pitches. Fried- lund i sure to be a favorite target. Many State Fans Expected The team that goes against Mich- -\ igan next Saturday has been out- scored by the Wolverines 47 to 27 in the past two years. In 1939 the score was 26-13 and last year it was 21-14, both in Michigan's favor. If nothing more, it indicates that the Spartans at least know the way to the Michi- gan goal line. Onthe other hand, the Wolverines have shown they really know the weakness in the State team's armor. The team will practice here through Friday, moving into Ann Arbor on Saturday morning as has been the custom inrecent years. De- spite the fact that the game is being played two days before the college classes start, there will be a following of something like 15,000 fans from Lansing and East Lansing following the team to the site of the game, New Football Rules To Aid May Take Away Spartan Appetite New Football Ticket System Will Be Used No Tickets To Be Mailed; Students Must Procure Ducats At Athletic Office (Continued from Page 1) together at the Ferry Field ticket of- fice. Also, there will be no objection at any time during the season to having one student bring in coupons for as many other persons as he wishes and obtain the tekets for all of them as long as each coupon is signed by its owner. This will be of assistance in dormitories, fraternities, sororities and other places where groups of students have quarters together. Adjacent Seats Available Students also will be permitted to purchase three tickets adjacent to the ticket exchanged for each coupon. as long as seats ,are available. For the last three home games of the season, with Pittsburgh, Minnesota and Ohio State, students will be re- quired to show their University ident- ification cards when they enter gates at the stadium. Because the cards will not be ready before the third game, this will not be asked at the Michigan State and Iowa games. In announcing this new plan, which is to be permanent. Tillotson pointed out that the hour schedule for ticket windows being open is such that it will permit all students time to turn in their signed coupons. Advance Sales Heavy The advance ticket sale to date has been excellent, Tillotson said, and is running well ahead of that for last year. It is anticipated that this week's opener will draw a crowd of at least 70,000 fans while the games with Minnesota and Ohio State may be sell outs. The largest crowd ever to witness a game here was 85,088 which saw the Ohio State game in 1929, although on five other occasions games in the stadium have attracted crowds of more than 80,000 persons.

Three More Veterans The other three veterans who will take to the mat for the Wolverines are Bill Courtright. Ray Deane. and Herb Barnett. A junior this year, Courtright should continue his rapid improvement of last year which cul- minated with third place in the 165 pound class of the Big Ten. Looming as one of the team's main- stays, Deane should provide the Wol- verines with plenty of strength among the 136 pounders. A sopho- more last year, Ray furnished the fans with many thrills as he emerged victorious in nearly every match. In the 145-pound class there should be more competition. Barnett looks like the man for the job be- cause of his experience, but he will have to stave off the threat of Melv Beckeit who did fine work last year. Fight For Place Melv's twin brother, Marv, will be fighting Pete Speek for the 155 pound slot. A sophomore, Speek didn't go out for wrestling until the end of{ last semester, but during that timej he made such rapid progress that Coach Keen is looking forward to big things from him. Among the heavyweights, John Wilson is the leading candidate. John wasn't in the limelight last season, ,bein swirled about in the midst of the troubled heavyweight sea, but with both Jack Butler and Emil Lockwood gone he looms as the best in the field.
