POINTS FOR
MICHIGAN

Conquered in both its major
starts to date by one-touchdown
margins, Harvard, is rallying its
forces for the intersectional game
with Michigan a week from Sat.
urday.
This battle between the present
leaders of the Big Ten Confer.
ence and the mighty, albeit

promises to be one of the out.
standing gridiron classics of the
year. Indications already point
to the Harvard stadium being
sold out for the game
Coach Horween has a game
with William and Mary >sched-
uled for his Cantabs this Satur-
day, but the Southerners are not
expected to provide the Crimson
with much opposition. The prob
abilities are that Harvard's sec
ond-stringers will attend to the
Virginians, with the regulars see
ing only enough action to Keep
in shape.
Michigan, which has beaten
Purdue, Ohio State and Illi-
nOis on successive week-ends
since being held to q score
less tie by Michigan State,
has an open date on its sched-
ule for next Saturday. The
gap in the schedule was pur-
pOseIy arranged to enable the
Wolverines to go into their
game with the Cantabridgi-
ans in perfect shape.
Harry Kipke's team has been
the surprise of the Middle West,
if not of the entire country, this
fall. Conceded only an outside
chance of finishing among the
first three in the Western Con-
ference, the Wolverines have con-
founded their critics and amazed
the experts by playing unbeatable
ball against their conference
rivals.
The one-point victory they
scored over Purdue three weeks
ago has worked miracles with the
Michiganders. They showed i'm
presSive strength against Ohio
State at Columbus and then fol
lowed that up with a well-earned
15-7 victoyr over Illinois at Ann
ArDor.
Not having any game sched-
uled this week end, the Michi-
gan eleven will invade Cam
bridge as leader Of the Big
Ten championship race.
A victory over the Wolverines
would carry with it all the pres
tige which always attaches to
win over a Western Conference
leader, and would more than
atone to Harvard for the 10
and u defeats chalked up
against it's record by the Army
and Dartmouth.
To beat the Wolverines, Arnold
Horween, Harvard's head coach,
is we'll aware that he must check
Harry Newman, Michigan's newest
quarterback sensation, and ways
and means of stopping this sec
ond Bennie Friedman" are occupy
ing much of the attention of the
Harvard coaches this week.
Newman, a sophomore, has
flashed across the Big Ten foot
ball horizon this fall with bril-
lance which promises to equal, If
not eclipse, the blazing light which
the great Friedman left behind
him when he graduated from the
Ann Arbor institution.
The Wolverine field-general,
whose mighty arm and accurate
toe brought him instant recog-
milton in the upset of Purdue,
heaved two passes in the Illinois
game which were taken behind the
goal-line for Michigan touch
downs, and in addition booted a
clean place-kick through the bars
for the first Michigan score of it's
kind this season.
In addition, the Second-year
man displayed great generalship
in marShaling his forces. The
Harvard scouts who watched him
at Ann Arbor rate almost on a
par with Friedman at throwing
passes, and give him a shade over
the great Benny in drop-kicking.
He doesn't do much ball-carrving.
but when he does call his own
number he knows how and where
