Is GR|DDERS To
MAKE OHIO TRIP

The much-wearied Michigan Nor
nal football team has still to score
its first victory Of the current sea
son 1t will have It's third chance TO
do so Saturday afternoon when It
tackles Bowling Green University
al Bowling Green, Ohio.
Twenty-Five Hurnns- 0ill make the
trip although two Of them Capt.
Walt Sierra and Dick Manning-are
unlikely to see much II any service.
Coach Elton J. Rynearson, there
fore. has barely two teams TO use
against the Falcons.
For one reason or another the
Normal eleven has been completely
riddled. Three Withdrawals from
the squad have left Rynearson hard
put to round up enough backs to
form two backfields.
The heaviest blow came when
BIZ Hart, sensational sophomore
wingback. left school to join the
Army. Then, Joe Borovich and Dick
Giles turned in their uniforms, the
former being forced to give up foot
ball because Of weak ankles.
That isn't all. Michigan Normars
ace lineman. Barney Dyer, will
also be unable to be among those
present at the Bowling Green tus-
sic. He's to be best man at his sis
ter's wedding Saturday afternoon

will not accompany his teammates
to Ohio. either. A factory job will
keep him in Ypsilanu.
None of these losses compares TO
that of Sierra, however. Although
he will be a member Of the Huron
party, the stocky Hamtramck sen
Tor is almost sure TO stay on the
sideines.
In fact Sierra has been advised to
take up his crutches once more.
Trainer George Marshall said Thurs
day that Walt still had considerable

injured in the Illinois Normal con
test.
we will use Sierra only II we ad-
vance very deep into Bowling
Green territory" Rynearson an
nounced after hearing Marshall's
dictum.
Center Dick Manning, who like
wise twisted his knee in the De
troit game has not engaged in any
contact work this week He will al
ternate with Warren Gross and
Larry Tremper at the pivot position,
however.
Rynearson has ofganized two
backfield units to hurl against Bowl
ing Green. One Is composed of
Chuck Nemeth. quarterback Bob
Osburn and Andy Newlands. half
backs, and Dave Gates. fullback.
The other includes Joe Grady at
the field general slot. Sierra and
Art Lieder at the wingbacks and
Jack Yuille at fullback.
Gates, wso has been the Hurons'
chief quarterback heretofore. was
converted into a fullbaek after a
brief return to the line early this
week. Yuille also is available for
the left half post
The line will be practically that
