Tomorrow afternoon the Wol- verines will battle the Indians of Stanford University. *V * * STANFORD, COACHED by two-time All-American Marchie Schwartz, boasts an impressive Candidates for the Freshman Tennis team should report to Coach Bill Murphy at 3 p.m. today on the Varsity Courts... -Bill Murphy record this season having scored a total of 93 points against their opponents while no one has been able to cross the Indian goal line. The Cardinal and White smothered San Jose State, 49-0 in their season opener and fol- lowed up by defeating the crim- son of Harvard 44-0. The Indians lost some tough games last season but this year most of the veterans are back. The roster lists twenty-two lettermen on the 1949 squad., THE FRESHMAN team last year went through undefeated and nineteen of these boys are on this year's varsity. Headlining the cast of youngsters are quarterback Gary Kerkorian, touted as the finest passer at the school since pre-war days, and end Bill Mc- Coll, a six foot, four-inch pass- catching genius. Harry Hugasian, 180 pound star running back for the 1948 freshman team is a fine all around player. Clever, fast and elusive, Harry was instrumental in running up high scores against Harvard and San Jose State. There is another factor which may count in Stanford's favor. This is that in meeting Harvard which is coached by Art Valpey, the Indians have already had a taste of the Michigan style of football. But it must be remembered that the Wolverines are defending a streak of 24 victories and after last week's close call against Mich- igan State, will be taking no chances. MAN FOR MAN, the Wolverines appeared to be in good physical shape, with the exception of Char- lie Ortmann.

They flew via two United Airlines 300 Main- liners and arrived in Oakland non-stop at 5:15 last night, Pacific Coast time. The mighty Wolverines will be going after their 25th consecutive victory when they engage an unbeaten and unscored-on Stanford eleven at Palo Alto tomorrow afternoon. The game is rated by the experts as the number one grid battle in the nation. In preparation for the game Michigan, under the able leadership of Coach Bennie Oosterbaan, stressed offensive tactics in their scrimmages this week. as wearing a slipper as he board- margin previously allotted the ference in temperature between d the plane yesterday.

By JERRY IJSKA Michigan 14. Stanford 7-On the distinct upgrade, Stanford ) still lacks the guns to scuttle the Big Ten defending champions. Michigan's close, 7-3 scrape past Michigan State was the spur the | Wolverines needed to do some ser- ious concentrating on their 24- game winning streak. Wisconsin 14, Illinois 12-This will be snug despite the Badgers' opeing romp over Marquette (our shattered Blue Plate Spe- cial), and the Illini tie with a sound Iowa State club. Figure Illinois to be tougher with vet- eran ends Tony Klimek and Walt Kersulis off the crippled list. Ohio State 24, Indiana 12-An- other Big Ten league opener for both teams. A Hoosier eleven which battled Notre Dame on even terms for the first half has plenty of spunk, but not enough depth. The Buckeye dipsy-doo with Mis- souri (35-34) emphasized that Wes Fesler has scoring punch. It was enough of a scare to tighten Ohio's defense for Indiana. 3 Michigan State 28, Marquette 0-The Hilltoppers won't even recover from that 41-0 pasting by Wisconsin. The Spartans, on the other hand, lost little or no prestige in the loss to Michigan. They'll bring a good record to the Nov. 5 meeting with Notre Dame. Purdue 18, Iowa 12 - Harry Szulborski will be back in the Boilermaker saddle. His running should make the difference in a snappy struggle between two teams whose opening defeats were- n't as one-sided as the scores read. By AUSTIN BEALMEAR Having led off last week with a batting average of .836 on 46 cor- rect guesses and nine misses, we hustle right into the second edi- tion of the 1949 football forecast letting the upsets fall where they may: Michigan vs. Stanford-This could be the end of that long Michigan winning streak. But don't count on it. Michigan barely squeaked past Michigan State last week while Stanford was flattening Harvard. The Harvards arent in the same class with Michigan State, though. Chalk this one up as number 25 for Michigan. Illinois vs. Wisconsin - Our Western Conference spies tell us to forget Illinois 20-20 tie with Iowa State, which is what Illinois would like to do. This likely will be close. Out of the hat, Wiscork- sin. Georgia Tech vs. Tulane --- Tech's surprising 12-7 triumph over what was supposed to be a feared Vanderbilt team sets this I up as about the best attraction of Saturday's card. Now that it has disposed of Alabama rather neatly, Tulane isn't likely to be stopped until it runs into Notre Dame, if then. One confident vote for Tulane. Purdue over Iowa, Ohio State over Indiana, Minnesota over Ne- braska, Michigan State over Mar- quette, Iowa State over Kansas, Colorado over Kansas State, Flor- ida over Tulsa, Drake over Brad- ley, Cornell over Colgate, Navy over Princeton, Vanderbilt over Alabama, and Harvard over Co- lumbia. p li COLORFUL FABRICS DISTINGUISH nI i- veatmier forecast, lowereduthe } } game, but whe e maur2kIa nui- erect to a seven point. margin.
