M' Seeks To Stop Badgers In 53rd Homecoming Tilt By BOB SANDELL Associate Sports Editor Ivy Williamson brings his undefeated Wisconsin Badgers into the Michigan Stadium this afternoon to attempt to spoil the 53rd annual Homecoming celebration for all of the thousands of Michigan alumni . . . except himself. A capacity crowd of over 97,000 is expected to be on hand at the 2 p.m. kickoff to watch the Wolverines try to get back on the victory trail against the up and coming Badgers who are un- beaten in three contests thus far. IT'S THE FIRST CHANCE that Williamson has had to come back and haunt his alma mater since taking over the coaching reins two years ago. He has more reasons to want to win this one than mere sentiment though. The Badgers are currently riding on top of the Western Conference with two important wins over Iowa and highly-touted Illinois. The Wolverines are another big hurdle they must topple if they expect to hang on to their lofty perch and eventually get a bid to the Rose Bowl. They're hoping to catch the Wolverines on the rebound from their bitter and heartbreaking struggle with Army last week. Whether the Michiganders can bounce back from that one is the biggest single factor determining the outcome of today's battle. Last year the Maize and Blue couldn't recover after their long win streak had been snapped by the Cadets. However, they were favored in that contest and this year it wasn't a great surprise when they were beaten. * * * *Ig WITH LAST. YEAR'S miserable showing against Northwestern in mind and the importance of this game in the conference race to consider, the Wolverines presumably will be in better psychological shape today. They won't be in top physical condition without the ser- vices of their experienced right halfback, Leo Koceski. Three others still have minor injuries but are expected to see full duty. Harry Allis and Dick McWilliams both have hand ailments while Al Wahl is troubled with a bad knee. But to offset that, the incomparable Charlie Ortmann is expected to be near tQp efficiency for the first time this season. He has been taking active part in the scrimmages the past week and should be able to do everything but kick and block. Sophomore Frank Howell has the job of trying to fill in for Koceski. He got a real baptism under fire last week in Yankee Stadium when he replaced Koceski in the second quarter. DON PETERSON, who capably subbed for Koceski last year when Leo was out with injuries, will be kept at the tailback slot in the eventuality that Ortmann needs replacing on offense. ' The injuries have forced the Wolverine pilot, Bennie Ooster- baan, to modify his two platoon setup a great deal. Several backfield men may see a lot of double duty along with ends Lowell Perry and Ozzie Clark. Oosterbaan is not expected to make any other major changes in his offensive or defensive teams from that which has been used. in the previoug contests. Williamson expects his boys to be in top physical shape for today's battle.

Secre- tary of State under President Hoover, and Edward J. Kelly, 74, former mayor of Chicago, died yesterday. Stimson, War Secretary under three presidents, died as the re- sult of a heart attack, according to, a member of his family.

Stock Purchase 0 UniversityFunds Used By DAVE THOMAS' Daily Feature Editor University officials have announced the acquisition of $4,000,000 worth of theatre stock from United Paramount Theatres Inc., of New York, in an unusual financial transaction which they said involved no use of University funds. Changing hands in the transaction were 37,500 shares of Class B stock of W. S. Butterfield Theatres Inc., of Michigan, and 6,940 shares of Class B stock of the Butterfield Michigan Theatres Co.

Stacy to have the arson charge against Stacy be returned to Municipal Court. The court ruled that the attor- ney, Leonard Young, failed to sub- stantiate his claim that Stacy was "confused" when he waived exami- nation in the lower court on Oct. 11. Young submitted his petition to Judge Breakey on Wednesday to have Stacy's case remanded to Municipal Court. Stacy was not represented by a lawyer when he was brought be- fore the court the first time, and Young claimed that he was not in a fit mental condition to waive examination himself at that time. Young said he would file another petitoin, probably next Monday.

The only ob- ligation of the University is to make payment from the earn- ings and dividends of the com- panies, he said. The deal was praised by M. S.

Arriving in special trains, busses and an estimated 30,000 automo- biles, the swarming fans will take part in the University's 53rd annual weekend of Homecoming festivities. WITH clear skies and tempera- tures in the mid 60's forecast for this afternoon, a capacity mob is expected to fill Michigan Stadium for the 2 p.m. kickoff. Before the game, students and visitors will clog the streets and sidewalks all over campus as they wander from dorm to fra- ternity to sorority inspecting scores of colorful outdoor lawn displays. Despite light fogs early this morning, students were up and outdoors even before dawn setting up witty signs and giant paper- mache figures for the displays. At 7:30 p.m. the week-end cele- bration got a rousing official initi- ation when several thousand stu- dents shouted and sang their way down State St. to a wild pep rally at Ferry Field.. Much of the crowd headed for a special Union Dance immediately afterwards. * * * AND TODAY the festivities will come to a climax with Student Legislature's "Autumn Maize" Homecoming dance from 9 a.m to 1 p.m. in the Intra Mural Bldg. Heavy ticket sales have been re- ported for the dance, but a few are still left. They may be purchased this morning at the Union's foot- ball resale booth or tonight at the dance. Several dateless coeds were re-. ported last night by SL president George Roumell, chief match- maker at the Legislature's special date bureau. The Legislature, which has supervised the entire Homecom- ing, will add a note of color to today's game by hawking 10 cent yellow and blue "pom-poms" at the Stadium.
