SavoId Arrives

Lee Savold, Des Moines heavy

early enough Saturday TO start
workouts for his 10-round return
bout with Tony Music at Olympia

on account of weather until Fri
day night. the conqueror of Lou
Nova would not be able to arrive
her until noon Saturday.
However. Music definitely will
be here tomorrow. He will work
out Friday. Music has not boxed
since he took a split decision from
Savold in Washington in mid
August and only short time after
Sayold had knocked out Lou Nova
in the same ring to gain recogni-
ton as heavyweight contender.

man who meets Alfred (Big Boy
Brown of Detroit in the second To-
rounder on the Olympia card. also

Spdrtdns, Small
In Number, Size,
Start Practice

EAST LANSING, Sept 10.-In
his 10 years as head football
coach at Michigan State, Charley
Bachman has never handled a
Spartan squad SO small-both in
weight and number--as the one
he began fall practice with today.
That is what the deep-voiced
mentor of Spartanville said yes
terdsy as a squad of as Michigan
State gridders reported 10 receive
equipment and TO pose for press
photographers.
Bachman pointed out that in
past years Spartan squads have
run as high as sc players. Added
10 the numerical minuteness OF
the squad, he admitted also that
the squad was lacking in weight
and physical stature.
"Only two players out there
weigh. more than zoo pounds
when In proper condition." Bach
man said.
The two players he pointed at
were Howard Boyer. junior pivot
man who just tips the scale al 200!
and Barney Neubert, 204-pound
junior guard from Chicago. How
ever. at least dozen other grid
ders border around the 200 mark.
One of the sharpest blows toI
Bachman's expectations was the
report that Ted Smolinski would
not be available this year. Smo-
linski. a 230-pound tackle who
stands 6 feet A inches. was ruled
Ineligible for further competition.
school officials said. Although he
played only two years Of football.
Smolinski is in line for a diploma,
which makes him ACCIDENTALLY in
eligible.
Smolinski was one Of two play
ers who failed to report. The other
was Jimmy Pingel, brother of for
mer all-American Johnny Pingel,
now playing with the Army eleven.
Young Pingel was reported TO be
hampered by leg infection suf-
fered last season and will not COM
pete this year.
WORK TO COME
The opening day was mild to
what the Spartan gridders were to
expect today. Bachman ordered
1890 p. m. curfew and said that
two workouts would be held daily
for the next two weeks.
Conditioning, running signals,
kicking. passing and other light
drills were slated for the rest of
the week. Contract work will not
start until next Monday or Tues
