You see, Jim practices alone. He
sees the rest of the team only for
couple of hours each week and
then it's not practice. it's a game
Then he imagines that every one
else on the field is Joe Gembis

feels at home.

a black eye. He hasn't forgiven
Joe Gembis for that yet. Joe had

Michigan Must
Take Wildcat
Game in Stride
BY BOB MURPHY

ANN ARBOR. Oct. 16.-North-
western is a respected foe but
Coach Fritz Crisler's Michigan
boys are primed today to take the
opening game OF the Wolverines
Conference season in stride in the
stadium here tomorrow.
With the all-important Mime
sofa game coming up week later
at Minneapolis there really isn't
any alternative.
Tom KuZma will be back in the
lineup tomorrow for the first time
this season but the star Michigan
back of last season is not expected
to see much service. Gossip around
the camp here is that Crisler will
let Tom the Thumper fly all out
at the Gophers next week.
His knee is not in top shape and
he hasn't had any real contact
work. If Michigan can get along
without him the Wolverines will
be just that much stronger q
week hence.
WATCH OUT FOR OTTO
This does not mean that Crisler
is taking Lynn Waldorfs Wildcats
lightly. That boy Otto Graham
will be hard TO handle and the
Puppies passing attack which he
heads is regarded as one of the
best in the Midwest.
The Wolverines have been drilled
all week to stop Otto's losses.
Crisler and the football world now
know that NJ hi gan. without
kuzma. has proved itself one of the
best ground-gaining outfits in the
country and that the Wolverine
forward wall functions in the best
tradition of the great lines that
have come out of Ann Arbor in
other years.

hand. has been somewhat hand

the lineup. Don Robinson may
alternate between the wing and
tailback positions. However. he
seems TO have assured himself of
plenty of action as replacement
for Kuzmstse.
He is fine passer. and, al
though he does not hit quite as
hard as the Gary fash, he still is
one OF the hardest backs on the
Michigan squad to stop.
II is fairly certain that Paul
White will receive the starting
wingback position. This week he
has been showing the same drive
and power that he exhibited last
year.

Sedhawks Rated
Ahead Of Irish
By Titan Coach
BY CHARLES Il. DORAIS
(AthIetic director and head football coach
al University Of DetroiD


This has been a hectic football
season 10 date. Imagine such tradi-
tional football leaders as Michigan.
Minnesota and Notre Dame with
a blot on the old escutcheon al-
ready. And teams like Illinois, ac-
|customed to moral victories for
many years, rarin' up and smack
ing them all down.
The change in coaches didn't
seem to hurt the Illini much, but
among most of the leaders of past
years, these are others that have.
To name a few. Minnesota
doesn't seem TO be thriving as well
without Bierman. Fordham ap-
pears TO be missing Jimmy Crow
ley. Duke has been slipping badly
without Wallace Wade. Nebraska,
another perennial leader, also
Hooks lost without Biff Jones,
while Stanford is off on couple
of cylinders since Clark Shaugh-
messy went away.
WEAK ONES SHINE
Tn this dizzy whirl of football.
so far, most of the greats have
fallen and several of the lesser
lights give promise of becoming
greats.
1t Is possible that all those
carrying perfect records TO date
could visit the "Wailing Wall by
tomorrow night. Nothing certain
about Iowa Cadets beating Notre
Dame. Purdue rose up last Satur-
day and knocked off Northwestern
and history could repeat against
Ohio State. Illinois is no cinch
against Iowa.
And, may I add. Detroit. still
unbeaten. could take one on the
chin from Manhatten. If all this
happens, there will be no "all VIC
torious" outfit in our whole section
and this could happen with the
season only few weeks old.
HARD TO PICK

the prognosticators. Such games
as Wisconsin, Great Lakes: Illinois
Iowa; Michigan Northwestern:
Michigan State-Marquette; Notre
IDame-Iowa Cadets: well. you pick
them. To any one getting this

The Presidents wartime days are more hectic than ever now that a second front is under considera- tioD.
 His private secretary, MISS Grace Tully, who helps shoulder the ter rife burden of work, sits at a oesk only three steps from the door of the Presidents office. Here is a topical slice out of one of her days:
 A stack of mail is on the desk, the telehone in her hand. Through the hall door comes Capt. John Livingston McCrae, the Presidents Naval Aide.
 Can I get in there, Grace?" says the captain.
 Leon Henderson is with him"
 Let me know when he leaves. I've got something urgent"

The latest step taken at Santiago IS decision to declare war immediately on the Axis the moment any vessel of any American republic is sunk in the Pacific in Chiles sphere of special interest Axis Governments have promised Chile full respect for the Chilean flag on the routes her ships nor mally travel Santiago proposes to stand neutral. But if submarine is extended to the Pacific any where from Panama down to the Antarctic, the Chilean Government will turn at once from neu- trality to full participation belligeren alongside the United Nations.
 In other words there no reason to believe Chile would debate and hesitate the Argentine Govern ment is doing in the face of attacks on her shipping. second Argentine merchantmen has been attacked the latest in fragrant circum- stances Public feeling IS running high. Yet the Buenos Aires Government contents itself with a pro- test to Berlin We have the assurance of respon- sible men in Santiago that there will be no such vacation if Axis undersea craft carry their depre dations into the South Pacific.
 The vigorous position taken by Chilean leaders, combined with the strong popular support for the United Nations in Argentina gives some ground for the belief that we may the entire Western Hemisphere aligned soldly against the Axis. That is welcome prospect.

UNEXPLAINED EVACUATION

The unexplained and unqualified shift of the Alaska offices of the National Resources Planning Board from Juneau to Portland, Oregon, where 1t will become the Alaska Division of the Northwest Or flee seems to be an unwise
 When the Alaskan was finally deemed i'm portant enough in Washington, D. C.. to warrant the establishment of branch of the National Resources Planning Board it apparent that the officials of the new office would accomplish much more work with less expense involved if the office set in the area which the planning experts were to study
 To move the office back into the Continental United States at this time especially when military officials doing all in their power to cut down on unnecessary travel between the Territory and the States, just doesn't right. t M
 Although much of the work done by the National Resources Planning Board never reaches print as leased by the planning officials themselves the agen cy has been busy in Alaska. Its primary duty is to study the problems faced in the development of Alas ka and to make reports to the President of the United States The Alaska office of the Board has of late spent much time in the study of Aaska's transpor- taton problem and that Information has been passed along to the proper authorities in Washington through the Office of the President. Much of this work has been kept secret in view of the But both military and civil agencies have found the find ings of the Alaska office of the Board very helpful
 Just how the shift of the Boards office from Juneau to Oregon will affect the Boards efficiency may only be determined by the future But it is our belief that the Boards work will be slowed up quite considerably.
 Board members in Alaska can give for the shift except that it has been ordered by the Washington office
