Wolverines Without Stars
Meet Veteran Spartans
$4,000 Expected
at Ann Arbor
for Clash
BY CLAYTON HELPER

ANN ARBoR, Sept 27.-Can a
veteran Michigan State football
team whack down a Michigan
ieleven minus the services of Tom
Harmon, Forest Evashevski and
Ed Frutig?
Spartan rooters think so, end
that's why the Michigan Stadium
will be crammed to near capacity
with an expected crowd Of $4,000
when these two rivals meet here
today for the thirty-sixth time.
Three straight years of defeat
are the spur for Coach Charley
Bachman's boys. but if they come
into town expecting any soft touch
they'll be a sadly misinformed
crew when they trot off the grid
Iron.
-Michigan's got it again this year,
Harmon or no Harmon, and make
no mistake about that.
NELSON TRIPLE-THREATER
Filling the Gary Galloper's shoes
in the starting lineup is Dave Nell
son. the 157-pound mite from De-
troit, a triple-threater and the
1 kind OF a guy who meets the big
/ fellows on their own terms and
beats them to the punch. He's the
only veteran, but he's not the only
tailback.
Before the game is very old a
rugged 200-pounder by the name
lof Tom Kuzma is going to be in
there slashing the tackles, throw
ling the apple and doing another
Gary Galloper act. He's from Har-
mons home town in Indiana, and
shows the same promise as his
predecessor did in his sophomore
year.
Whitley Robinson. another triple
lthreater on smaller scale, is
detroit sophomore who should see
lplenty of action. Not one of the
three may be another Harmon,
but each one is sufficiently good
ITO start Bachman searching for
the headache powders.
DIVERSIFIED ATTACK
And. whereas Bachman could
concentrate on Harmon last year,
he'll be up against a diversified at
tack today which will call upon
the wingback to do more running
than ever before. Tippy Lockard,
the veteran, is the probable
lStarter here.
But two sophomores will be
pounding in there to establish
themselves as coming stars, Paul
White of River Rouge, and Chuck
Kennedy. White. a southpay, is
also a triple-threater, and great
things are expected of him.
None of this is meant to detract
from Captain Bob Westfall, how
ever. The Wolverine fullback is a
! candidate for All-America hon.
orS this year and can very easily
wind up as the No. ] man in the
nation. Don Boor. Dearborn sopho-
more, is built on the same order
as Bullet Bob and gives plenty of
strength at this position.

craft. Their tasks are many, and
are never done. For the most part,
they are of types which our Navy
has not been accustomed to keep
in time of peace, although many
were required in the last war. They
can be built by the small-craft ship
building industry, which is we'll
developed in this country, without
disturbing the construction of larger
ships; providing, of course, that
materials and labor are available.
AS we move toward or into a
period of international crisis, with
opponents whose future actions are
wholly unpredictable, it is necessary
that our shipping and harbors have
the security which is afforded not
only in a general sense by our fleet
commanding the sea, but also that
local security which can be given
only by sufficient small craft of the
proper type and equipment.
Work of the Sub Chasers.
Submarine Chasers - These are
small, speedy, handy vessels armed
with light guns, anti-aircraft ma
chine guns and depth charges.
Their duties are to patrol shipping
lanes and channels, and to escort

member that our coaStWise tonnage

something like five times our foreign
trade tonnage. 1t is an essential
part of our transportation system.
For example: If the movement
of oil by sea from Port Arthur and
Beaumont, Tex, to New York were
to be interrupted, it would be eX-
ceedingly difficult to supply great
part of the industrial East with the
necessary amount of motor fuel,
lubricants and oil for heating pur-
poses. The railroads could only
with great difficulty absorb the slack.
Our most important single line of
sea communications Is that be-
tween the East and West Coasts by
way of the Panama Canal; its pro-
lection is matter of sufficient small
craft for the greater part of the way
all save the 700 miles of open sea
between the windward Passage and
Colon.
The advantages of the sub-chaser
over the destroyer are:
The use of sub-chaser does not de-
tract from the offensive power Of
the fleet.

MOSQUITO Fleet Fund Held VituI
Little Craft, Of Several Types and Uses,
Called Badly Needed Adjunct to u S Sea Protection

The same amount or money and
material will produce great many
more units. each capable of dealing
with a submarine, and so we iii
crease the chances of giving proper
protection to shipping.
And Sub-chasers can be built
without blocking the simultaneous
building of destroyers.
Also subj -chasers give fine training
in command and responsibility to
junior officers
Their disadvantages are their
short radius of action and lack of
Sea-keeping qualities. Sub-chasers
have weathered some bad blows, but
the strain on the crews is very great.
We must remember that condi-
tiOnS are now such that at any time
the totalitarian powers. or one or
more of them, may decide to read us
a sharp lesson on the dangers of in
terferring with their program of
conquest. All three of them possess
long-range submarines. The need
for providing protection for our vital
coastwise shipping is, therefore, very
plain.
In addition, sub-chasers may be
used to guard areas in which YES

narrow waters like the entrances to
the Caribbean Sea-,

nese Navy in particular has special
lied in surface mine-layers of wide

must have ships adapted and crews
trained for this arduous and dan
gerouS work.
We do not possess the huge re-
serve OF ships and crews admirably
adapted for mine-sweeping which
Britain has in her great fleet of
steam trawlers; hence we REQUIRE
special provision for this purpose.
Fleet mineSweepers for sweeping
channels ahead of vessels of the fleet
are also necessary; these will, of
course, be larger and of better sea-
keeping qualities than those used
for coastal work.
The Speedy E-B9ats,

E-boats to the British and Germans
in the Channel, these small, high
speed vessels have the torpedo as
their principal armament. They are

virtue as convoy escorts is their

ed by the Army and Navy-and not
on the skill and know-how which
has fortunately been developed in
America Notwithstanding the fact
that the United States was not par
ticularly awake to the needs of re-
armament until year or so ago.
In recent weeks considerable no.
tice has been taken in the press of
what the auto industry may do for
aviation and this is natural because
the mass production methods of
the automotive industry are well
known throughout the world. But
just as too much emphasis has been
placed on what the automobile
plants can do to make airplanes,
Just so has too little credit been
given the aircraft industry which
Is bearing and will for the next two
years bear the prunt of the Nation's
airplane making burdens.
Confusion on Problem.
Confusion exists generally because
mass production is assumed to be
possible in aircraft as in automo-
biles. Yet autos are built in the
millions each year whereas airplanes
are built only in the thousands. The
tools needed to make autos are use
less for the making of airplanes.
There is no such thing as practical
conversion of an auto plant into
an airplane factory except insofar
as the four walls and the floors are
concerned.
What is happening is that the
automobile companies are sending
their executives to school at plants
OF the aircraft companies. Such
arrangements as have been made
for the building of aircraft at auto
plants amount merely to the copy
Ing of existing aircraft factories or
the making of needed parts. It is
to the aircraft industry the Nation
must continue to look for large
scale production of airplanes.
Thus it Is anticipated that by
July, 1912, two Of the larger plants
making airplane engines, which
have been doing this job for years,
will turn out from $4,000 to 10000
engines year at each plant, or
total Of about $4,000 engines
enough for the $4,000 airplane pro-
gram supposed to be completed by
then. All the airplane engines to
be manufactured by the auto in
dustry by 1912, it is estimated, will
not exceed $4,000. ---.- -~-~-
Creditable for Auto Industry.
This Is no fault of the auto IN
dustry. In fact, 1t will be an ex-
cellent record entitled to much
praise, because it is no mean
achievement for automobile pro-
ducers to learn an entirely new
business in such short time. But
the Nation has seemed in recent
weeks to be veering toward the i'm
preston that the auto industry
would be the principal source of
planes and airplane engines, and
that somehow or another the exist
ing aircraft industry was not capa-
BILE of doing the task.
The truth is that aircraft COM
panies have done an amazing job
in expansion in a short time and
gladly have assisted in teaching the
automotive executives how to build
airplane plants and make airplanes.
