Normal Line to be Lightened
by Loss of Jammin' John Grant

Ordinarily the Michigan Normal
football line averages IT'S pounds
in weight, chiefly because Jammin'
John Grant. 21O-pound behometh
from Detroit, is regular starter at
tackle.
That average. incredibly small
for collegiate forward wall, will be
reduced Friday afternoon when the
Hurons clash with Central Michi-
gan College of Education at Briggs
Field. The kickoff is scheduled for
3 p. m.
Grant. who severely strained sew
eral leg muscles last week against
Bowling Green, definitely will not
play in the Central Michigan con-
test. The examining physician who
looked him over Tuesday even pre-
dicted that the mountainous De-
troitev would be unable to resume
practice Tor at least ten days.
With Grant. on the sidelines,
-Coacti- r. j. Rynearson has con-
verted reliable Art Maschke into
a tackle, simultaneously moving
Dick Karpinski up into the starting
lineup at guard Unfortunately,
karpinski weighs nearly 35 pounds
less than Grant
Centra Michigan will open Fri
days batIlc 18th weight advant-
age across he line OF from 20 to %
pound Per man. The Bearcats
from Mt. Pleasant are reported 10
be huge and fast, dangerous COM
bination for all of Central's oppon-
ents.
Maschke acquired a smattering
OF experience at tackle early this
season. At that time Rynearson
figured on using him at Grants
spot, although he alternated be-
tween guard and center in other
years. Grant returned to the Michi-
gan Normal team before its first
game, however. and Maschke went
back to his old position.
The rest OF the Huron forward
wall will consist of Lowell Beach
and Ben Standen or Bob eager,
ends; Ralph Buckles, tackle; Vic
Apple, guard, and Lawrence Trem-
per, center. Beach, largest man In
the lot, tips the scales at 1855
pounds.
The Michigan Normal backfield
will be Art Lieder, quarterback;
Howard Slabaugh and Charles
Nemeth, halfbacks, and Carl
Schram, fullback. Schram will re-
place Clare Krawczak, the big Sagi-
nav sophomore who switched from
tackle to fullback in mid-season.
Lieder aggravated a knee injury

not been able to take active part IN

Face Threat
Notre Dame TO be
Hardest Foe Thus
Far; Run Friday

Michigan NormaIs outstanding
winning streak in cross country
20 consecutive dual meet victories
will be placed in jeopardy Friday
afternoon when the Huron5 enter
tain perhaps their toughest oppon-
ent in more than a decade, Notre
Dame University.
The encounter will rank as the
top cross country test in the ma
ton this week end since both teams
aspire to the National Collegiate
championship now possessed by In
diana University The run will be
held between the halves OF the
football game between Michigan
Normal and Central Michigan.
The Notre Dame team, headed by
Oliver Hunter. Jr., Is composed OF
three veterans and four promising
sophomores. Besides Hunter. Frank
Conforti and Tony Maloney also
earned varsity letters in the sport
last year.
Michigan Normal is strong as
usual, although Coach Lloyd w.
Odds expects the Huron team to be
even more powerful next month. At
present the Hurons are handicapped
by the late start OF George Cole and
Vern Krebsbach.
Both men have been unable to
practice regularly until last week
because OF occupation in local in
dustrial plants. AS a result they
are not yet in shape Tor the Cruel
ing four miles OF the Normal
course.
Five men-two of whom had been
expected back this season were
lost from the 1910 Michigan Normal
team. Biggest loss, Of course, was
Tommy Quinn, premier collegiate
performer I'm the National AA.U.
run at Meadowbrook Country Club
in November.
Bob Lee. Of Ypsilanti, and Elmer
Burnie. of Croswell, were also
graduated along with Quinn. Frank
Durham, sophomore, and Joe
Brzezinski, a senior. did not return
to school this fall.
The battle for team honors Fri
day may be subordinated to the
personal duel between Hunter and
Capt. Duane Temper. OF Normal for
individual laurels. Their struggle
may result in a new course record,
shattering the present standard of
2O:03.4 set by Bill Zepp in 1885.
Hunter placed second in the Ma
tional Collegiate meet a year ago,
while Temper was tenth. The latter
has improved a great deal this fall,
however. and now rates as high as
Quinn did during the 1910 season.
Bob Archer and Warren John
son. both lettermen. rank as the
second and third best runners on
the Huron squad. Other strong com
petitors are Paul Hansen. a junior,
and Ed Sigety. a sophomore. Sig
ETY. is still bothered by shin splints
despite heat treatments the past
two weeks.
Notre Danes outstanding sophie
mores are Walt Barry, Bill Kelly,
Bill Reilly and Walt Brehmer. The
South Bend, Ind. team has not en-
gagged In a dual meet so far this
season The Hurons have defeated
Two foes, Central Michigan by a
