U. N. Coach Not
Worried About
Gopher Game
$500
He Chats Amiably
on Most important
Game Of the Year

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 23.-Fritx
Crisler. Michigan football coach,
is not known for his unbounded
optimism before any game. Yet,
with the team reputed the best
in the nation next on schedule,
Fritz is smiling.
Every gridiron fan in the nation
knows Fritz boys have date this
Saturday with Bernie Bierman'S
mighty Minnesota Gophers and
there would seem to be good rea-
son If the Wolverine mentor were
sunk in the depths of gloom.
But such-is not the case.
Sitting in the coaches dressing
room after practice these days,
Fritz, who was silent before the
Iowa and Pittsburgh encounters,
chats- amiably with reporters and
visitors and, though he makes no
enthusiastic predictions as to the
outcome of the Gopher tilt, gives
the impression he is more than
satisfied with the progress of his
squad
PROVED WORTHY
cit would be foolish to be
optimistic over this game" he
explains. But I am sure my
team will give Minnesota every
thing. They proved they had tho
stuff In the Northwestern game
when they had their backs to
the wall for m entire quarter
and refused to give up" =
But those Gophers are GER
tainly big and fast" he added,
more in the usual Crisler vein.
Observers get the idea Fritz has
decided worrying isn't going to do
any good IT won't make that
gigantic Gopher line, which aver
ages 213 pounds per man, any
smaller and il won't take any Of
the speed and stiffness away
from Minnesota's great aggrega-
ton of backs. So Fritz. confident
his team is in the best mental
condition possible, is just waiting
for Saturday to see what will
happen.
But he isn't sitting back taking
things easy while waiting. It's
plain to see that, when the Michi-
gan coach comes on the field, he
means business.
TEAM DETERMINED
There Is a grimness in their
work which impresses one that
the Wolverines are as determined
to win this game as any team
ever was. That record of seven
straight defeats at the hands Of
the Norsemen is something they
think ought to be terminated.
Davey Nelson, diminutive Maize
and Blue tailback, is one lad who
is working harder than ever I'm
preparation for the Gophers.
Davey wants to show the world
his sensational Nperforma n c e
against Pittsburgh two weeks ago
was no fluke. He fell off consider
ably in last weeks Northwestern
game as a ball-carrier, averaging
only one yard per try, although he
played excellent defensive ball.
Davey's planned comeback may
result in a spectacular duel with
a tailback, Bud Higgins. Higgins,
who weighs in at about lat
pounds. ran wild against Pitt, too,
when the Gophers wailoped the
Smoky City lads, 800, last Satur-
day.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Moon Pulls Tides Harder Than Sun

Why does ocean water rise and
fall with the tides?
That is the question people could
not explain until the time of Isaac
Newton. Tides had been going on
for thousands and thousands of
years, but no one knew why they
should be.
Newton told the world his theory
Of gravitation." He said that the
earth was not the only object with
the power of gravity He said the
sun and moon and stars also have
the power to pull things toward
themselves.
Careful study of tides has gone on,
and it seems clear that they are
produced by the gravity, or pull, of
the moon and the sun.
The moon pulls the earth's waters
about twice as hard as the sun. We
might not expect this, since the
sun is so much larger. Yet the
sun is 800 times as far away as the
moon. An object which is far away
does not pull so hard as one which is
close.
Day and night, month after
month, ocean tides rise and fall. On
most days, at a given place, there
are two high tides and two low tides.
High tides come II hours and Is
minutes apart on the average. II
q high tide comes at 6 o'clock in

West thought for a while and
couldn't think of a better lead than
the jack of clubs. Then the dummy
went down and South thought
briefly. Since it was South's GUS
tom to study the dummy before
playing to the first trick-even when
the first play was obvious-he could
safely think up tricky play with
out giving himself away.
Obviously, some bit of hocuS-
pocus was necessary for the success
of the contract. A heart, two dia-
monds and club were sure losers.
OF course, if the opponents would
obligingly refrain from taking their
heart trick while South tried to set
up dummy's fourth low club, there
might be a chance for the hand.
And then South saw the light
He played a low club from the
dummy, East playing the king
and South played his low club! East
naturally thought his partner had
the ace of clubs; and. not having
any good reason to shift to another
suit, East returned another club.
That was just what South had
hoped for.
He won with the club ace, drew
two rounds of trumps, and cashed
the club queen, noting with elation
that every adverse club had been
drawn. Then he entered dummy
with a trump to discard his losing
heart on dummy's eight of clubs.
Note that this line of play amount
ed to the same thing as winning the
club ace and queen and giving up
the third trick in the suit. The diff
ference was that losing the first
trick concealed the true state of
affairs from the defenders.

example, and mix up the tides in
that small body of water.
Another reason for tide changes
is found in the pull of the sun
working with the moon at certain
times, and against it at other times.
The highest tides come when the
sun and moon work together on
the ocean water.
While speaking of tides, I want
also to speak of so-called tidal
waves" They are mighty swells in
the ocean which often send water
far past the high tide coast line.
Tidal waves really have nothing
to do with ordinary tides. They are
not caused by any pull of the sun
or moon. They result from the
sweeping of water during great
storms like typhoons, or rise because
of the explosion of volcano in the
ocean.

Reds Are One Nation Left
With Good Gold Supply

When Jesse Jones. who has loaned
more money than any man In United
States history. says Russia Is "a good
credit risk" it's another way of saying
Russia is one of the few nations left
with any gold in the family sock
The Soviets haven't been talking about
the sums buried under the loose bricks
in the Kremlin, but it should be plenty.
In 1888. the last year for which figures
are available, Russia was second only to
South Africa in total gold production
That year the Red government cleaned
a tidy 5236,0O0 ounces of gold from Rus
sian mines, values at $183 ,26o 900.
Since then Russia has expanded pro-
duction. Best estimates put it at be-
tween $250,0OO,000 and $500 900 900 an
nually. A rich strike" has been made
on the Kolyma River, in Siberia. and
a new town has gone up there to house
the miners.
Check on foreign exchange figures for
the last few years shows the Soviets
have been boarding for rainy day
Despite heavy purchases, Russia hasn't
shipped much gold, having held a rela-
lively favorable trade balance. For
instance, the Russians now have some
$40000,0O0 in trade credits on deposit in
the United States to pay for any mill
tary knicknacks we can spare.
While Russian Embassy attaches de-
cline to put a figure on the gold hold
ings Of their country, estimates based
on known production of gold and on
Russian gold exports put their hoard at
81 900 600, 900 at least
That billion in gold makes Russia q
very respectable member of the world
financial family. Not many nations have
so much, because Uncle Sam has cor
raled most of the worlds 10000, 900 900
gold supply. The United States has
something over $22 ,70o, 900 900 of the to-
tai locked away, and Russia has at least
one-eighth of all the rest.

to turn away customers to hold the

Then it was only an idea in the mind

suited in passage of the Wagner -ODay

chase of blind-made products
Until two years ago not cent of Gov
ernment money had gone for things
made by those unfortunates doomed to
spend their days in darkness. But with
of procurement, launched on a pro-
gram of buying.
In the first three months, orders dis
tributed through the National Industries
for the Blind to % workshops amounted
to only $4,000. The workshops had to
regear their production to Government
needs. Once that was done it began to
appear that blind workers would benefit
by Government orders amounting to
about 100000 year. Then came ma
tional defense, and no story is more
amazing than what happened IN the
workshops of the blind.
