Blocking Prep
Coaches Worry
BY E. C. GREENE

Blocking, the one thing gener.

should prove the deciding factor
in the Metropolitan League cham

and Hamtramck high schools al
~. of d. Stadium Friday afternoon
according to two Of the city'S
foremost coaches.
"Hamtramck blocked today
and they won," was the COM
ment OF George Dufour, st.
Theresa mentor, after the Cos
mos defeated DENLY for the
east side title last week.
Herb Smith, coach of the de-
Tending champion Cooley team,
says much the same thing about
the coming contest for the city
crown and the right to meet
Catholic Central in the annual
Goodfellow game on Thanksgiving
Day.
The Cosmos took a humiliating

in the first game of the season.

first encounter, with Ed Reppke

almost alone, the Cosmos looked
like a better club. to everybody
who witnessed the game. but the
lack of blocking practically multi
fled the offense, particularly in
scoring territory.
Hamtramck boasts the weaker
record of the two title contenders,
Cooley being undefeated in league
competition.
Gene Simescue and Hartley
Speck. Cooley's high scoring back

proven their abilities as ball

PLAYS LONGEST
Bill Pritula has seen most ac-
ton this fall. He has played 452
minutes of the 480 played by
Michigan. And Bill was listed as
a third string center when the
practice sessions opened. Now he
is a regular right tackle. Whitley
Wistert is second as an iron man
with 430 minutes. but close be-
hind him are Merv Pregulman
with 428, Julius Franks, AT and
Phil Sharpe 424.
Elmer Madar has been In for
405 minutes, while Bob Kolesar
played 35l. Bob has been handi-
capped by lack of practice due to
an extremely heavy scholastic
schedule and the coaches give him
a rest whenever possible.
These are the men 10 halt. the
Ohio backs. who have averaged
301 yards rushing and SO passing.
In the last two games the Bucks
collected more than 1000 yards
rushing and passing. That shows
a high geared attack that Michi-
gan must halt if it wants to win
the conference title.
The Wolverines have gained an
average of 100 yards rushing in
each of eight games and SO
passing. But they have played a
sitter brand of opposition than
the Buckeyes.
Michigan went through long
drill yesterday despite the heat.
They worked against Ohio State

MADAR MOST FEARED END IN BIC TEN
UNI. Star Praised by Leahy, Too

ANN ARBOR. Nov. 19.-Before
the 1912 football season started,
football enthusiasts said the main
fault with the University of Mich
igan football team was in its
extreme weakness at the end posi-
tons.
After the Notrc Dame game
Saturday. Coach Frank Leahy told
reporters: Those Wolverines have
the finest pair of ends I've seen
all season.
Main reason for this tremendous
change in opinion is the work OF
Elmer Madar on the Michigan for
ward wall.
Let's take a closer look at
Madar. He may be the difference
between victory and defeat against
the powerful Ohio State eleven
this Saturday, experts agree.

He weighs 10 pounds and stands

With the 1913 ABC tournament
Cancelled TO further the war effort,
Detroit bowlingdom today turns
to other attractive events in
which the competitive element is
severe enough to hold interest.
The central states opens here
Saturday. Following are the state
at Port Huron in January. the
city championships in the spring,
the state American Legion, Elks,
Knights of Columbus and The De-
troit Times Sweepstakes starting
next month.
Chief reasons assigned for the
ABC abandonment were the need
of members in the war effort; the
request of the ODT to postpone
and the certain absence of regular
ABC executive members and hun
dreds of prospective entries who
are in war plants or the armed
forces.
The action in Buffalo yesterday
follows the hint in these columns
two weeks ago. after ABC Off
Gals were contacted in Milwaukee.
They expressed the belief at that
time there would be no 1913 tour
nament.
TRAVEL PROBLEMS

power to conduct the event also
are among the reasons for shelving.
And il is the opinion of local su-
thorities that those same problems
mean cancellation of the national
Elks and Knights of Columbus
tournaments, now scheduled in
Detroit.
These are largely good fellow
ship fixtures and mean special
trains to Detroit on week-ends.

There is a growing feeling that
some one has been muddling the
synthetic rubber situation. For more
than year it has been known that
synthetic rubber would have to be
produced as soon as possible in this
country, but to date little has been
accomplished and no considerable
amount of synthetic rubber has been
produced. Not only that, little or
no progress has been made toward
beginning to produce synthetic rub
Der. The country is getting tired of
the quarreling that has been going
on between the oil industries and the
grain alcohol industries as to who
will be allowed to make synthetic
rubber. If the matter can't for some
peculiar reason be decided and def
mite steps toward the production of
synthetic rubber be taken, why not
let both groups tackle the problem.
Let's do something. Let's get some
kind of action. Let's quit passing the
buck. Let's get some rubber The
people of the country don't care
whether the rubber is made from pc
troleum or wood alcohol or star dust
just so somebody gets started max
ing it. Let's quit the fat chewing
before, in this matter as in too many
others, we wake up to find we
have done too little too late. ~

money out of the channels of trade
to keep it from purchasing goods.
The less the consumer buys, in 9TH
er words, the more we will have for
war purposes.
There is still another argument
which the forced savings advocates
use persuasively. When the war
ends, war production will naturally
end-and there is going to be a diff
ficult period while we make the adj
juStment from a war economy to a
peace economy. If people have money
saved, the argument runs, this ad-
justment will he eased. To quote
Business Week again, it would "act
as a kind of automatic unemploy-
ment insurance"
There seems to be little active OPP
position to forced savings-many
economists hope that it won't prove
necessary, but admit that before long
it may prove unavoidable. In both
conservative and liberal circles, there
is unanimity of opinion to the eff
feet that initiation must he avoided

solvency of the nation is the issue
at. stake. So don't be surprised if
the government tells you one of these
days that you're going to have to
save a definite percentage of your
earnings.

GET TOGETHER

Some of the best informed COM
mentators are now arguing that
there muse be revolutionary changes
in the organization of the govern
ment if the war effort is to be adj
vanced with maximum speed and
minimum delay. They point out that
Washington red-tape makes really
quick and effective action impossible
in many vital matters. On top of
that, they say, some of the best men
in the government must give too
much of their time to questions of
detail, instead of questions of war
policy.
There is also good deal of crit
icis1n of the military organizations
themselves. The critics say that the
army, navy and air forces don't OPP
crate in complete harmony. Lack of
cooperation between army and navy
chiefs, it will be remembered, was
one of the main reasons for the de-
bacle at Pearl Harbor, according to
the Roberts report. Since Pearl Har-:
Dor, considerable progress in the
right direction has been made
but apparently a good deal more is
necessary. ~

HAY FEVER TIME

So they might call it the good old
summer time! But not when you
are a sufferer from hay fever and
this is the season when you suffer
the most from the malady. The
schedule for the opening of the sea-
son is about August 18th and though
the date may be advanced or re-
tarded, you can just bet that come it
will with the unfortunate feverites
reaching for handkerclieis and WHIP
ing watering eyes and nose. You
may be among the more fortunate
sufferers who can HE themselves to
a climate where relief is obtained,
or perhaps you are able to afford
air-conditioning to withstand the on
slaught of pollers and dust. Maybe
medical science has helped you to
check the fever. But whatever is
done, is never quite enough for the
hay fever victim. 1t is when the
weed pollens are ripe for distribu-
ton that the unfortunate suffer the
most. 1t isn't only in the country
that the weeds grow, but on many a
neglected city lot. Neglect can cause
much suffering, so since we are all
of us pretty humane and since we
realize we can help this cause by
cutting down ragweed, especially,
then this reminder is not lost. 1t
doesn't get rid of some of these
"sniffle areas" and pollen traps. We
try to stay away from those things
that hurt us, but when nature throws
into mans pathway that irritant of
pollens, then man must
help to get rid of the pests. They
find that pollens can rise to tfrous-
ands Of feet and be blown to points |
of miles away. So we can
see how important keeping the rag
weed cut around Kennewick really
is.

Washington, which is putting up

The administration at Washing
ton has finally come around TO the
point where it is giving some con-
sideration to- wage control as a
means of price control and the pre-
vention of initiation. 1t will be re-
called that we predicted months ago
that no system of price control or
prevention of initiation could flInc-
ton successfully unless 1t also in
cluded means of wage control. To
freeze prices of materials and nos
provide for wage control is like try
ing to build an arch without key

is that it has required the admins
tration so long to wake up to the
fact.

A local man puts it this way: The
present administration knows how
to spend the money for defense, but
it is going to take different kind
of administration to pay it back
after the war is over. It Is going to
take an administration that knows
the value of a dollar-knoWs what it
means in sweat and taxes. It is go
ing ito take an administration with
the courage to cut out every l1nnec-
cessary, foolish and wasteflll ex-
penditure and keep them cut out
until the bill is paid. IF the country
doesn't elect such an administration
it is going to find itself smotllered
with debt and interest bills. We've
got to stop the waste at both the
spigot and the bung hole. >.. -.

Perhaps one of the most powerful
answers to the claim of the isola-
tionists that Hitler would never
bring the the war to America may
be found in the fact that close to
four hundred ships have been sunk
by German submarines just off our
shores, and within the last few weeks
eight saboteurs were landed in this
country prepared to carry on a two
years campaign of terrorism in our
industries.
