Big Nine Briefs COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 13--(P) -Wes Fesler had fullback trouble at Ohio State today as his Buck- eyes prepared to meet Illinois here Saturday. With both Joe Whisler and Pete Perini, his Nos. 2 and 3 fullbacks, on the injured roster, the Buckeye coach readied fourth-string full- back Chuck Renner and fifth- stringer Glenn Oliver as replace- ments for Ollie Cline. Cline can't go the route both offensively and defensively, so Fesler apparently planned to run Renner and Oliver as offensive re- placements and Renner and left halfback Rod Swinehart as defen- sive reserves. * * * Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 13-(/P)- Purdue worked on both offense and defense today as the Boiler- makers wound up heavy work for the Pittsburg game Saturday, and Coach Stu Holcomb warned his secondary defense men that Pitt would have three passers in the lineup at the same time. Offensively the team worked on sharper blocking for its hard run- ning halfbacks, Harry Szulborski and Norbert Adams. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 18 - (/P) - Del Russell, who has worked at quarterback for Indi- ana this season, was named today to alternate with Hugh (Knocky) McKinnis at left halfback and to do- the passing from the tailback spot. George Karstens was the offen- sive center today, subbing for Joe Polce, who has a leg injury. The Hoosiers rehearsed new offensive. patterns for the Marquette game Saturday. Michigan Faces BadOers In Are Contest Toni'ht An injury riddled lightweight eleven boarded the train this morning for Madison, Wisconsin where the half pint Wolverines will be after their second win of the season when they tangle with the Badgers tonight at 7:30 under the lights. Need Win Michigan will have to make this one a winner to stay in the run- ning for a share of the "Little Big Nine" crown. With a decisive 33-0 win over Illinois and a 13-2 setback at the hands of Ohio State on their record, the Wolverines will square off against an unde- feated Wisconsin eleven which boasts wins over both the Illini and the Buckeyes. Line Injuries Last week's game with Illinois literally knocked the middle right out of Coach Cliff Keene's for- ward wall. First string guards Don O'Connell and George Hurrell will both sit this one out as a result of injuries received against the Il- lini. O'Connell. a standout per- fermer in the Michigan line may be lost for the season if his knee injury proves to be a torn liga- ment. Also out of action for the Badger tussle is end Brad McKee. Line coach George Allen has been forced to do some fancy juggling this week to whip his line in shape to face the high stepping Badg- ers. Sloppy ball handling under even sloppier weather conditions cost the Wolverines some excellent scoring opportunities last week. With these difficulties ironed out, the midget backfield is ready to roll with the same precision that ^nabled them to run up 33 points against Illinois. EAST LANSING, Nov. 13- - MINNEAPOLIS.

Cowles held their first scrimmage After a practice in shooting, esterday, utilizing the newly- running, passing, and other fun- damentals yesterday the squad has beome somewhat used to the new court. The field house floor is large enough to allow practice games whereas the court in the I-M building was very small and restricted the team to a large degree. The new backboards, just in- stalled, present a definite con- trast to the old wooden back- stops. Glancing at the backboard, ROM one is somewhat surprised to find Oa s fonly a black ring with a net hang- ing from it. However after some practice it will become probably as commonplace to shoot at that piece of glass as at the usual GABARDINES wooden boards. Starting Monday, young Wol- verine cagers will be given a COVERTS chance to show their wares as they try out for the freshman bas- TWEEDS ketball team before Coach Joe FLEECES Vancisin in the T-M gym. On Monday the tryouts will just warm up, shooting, passing, run- ning and practicing other funda- mentals. By AUSTIN BEALMER With the limb badiy bent but still unbroken, this football fore- caster inches closer to the end for another round of gridiron guesses in the hope of improving an aver- age that stands at .792 on 439 cor- rect predictions and 115 misses: Michigan vs. Wisconsin - By their antics of recent weeks, the Badgers have transformed what was to have been a breeze for Michigan into Saturday's major attraction, with the Big Nine title at stake. But if Bob Chappuis can't dent the tough Wisconsin line, he should be able to penetrate a weak Badger pass defense. One hefty vote for Michigan. Army vs. Pennsylvania-The Quakers have had some setups on their schedule but they dumped Virginia out of the all-victorious ranks and manhandled Columbia, which broke Army's streak. A con- fident vote for Pennsylvania. Georgia-Tech vs. Alabama - Tech is all-victorious but 'Bama has come up fast since two early season defeats and this game rates as a toss-up. Strictly on a hunch, Alabama. Penn State vs. Navy - Here's our sleeper for the week. All vic- torious Penn State, with the coun- try's best defensive record, is a 61 / point favorite to take a Navy club that has won only once. In an up- set, Navy. Texas Christian vs. Texas-The winner can latch on to second place in the Southwest confer- ence. One big vote for Texas. Notre Dame vs. Northwestern- The Irish have a let-down com- ing after their triumph over Army but there's no chance of their dropping far enough to trip over a so-so Northwestern club. The us- ual ballot for Notre Dame. Washington vs. UCLA - If the UCLANS don't try to look ahead to their important Nov. 22 struggle with Southern Cal, they should have no trouble. A kindly nod to UCLA. Arkansas vs. Southern Method- ist-But SMU. has negotiated its biggest hurdle and is heading for the Cotton Bowl. Southern Meth- odist.
