EAST LANSING. Sept. 5. -
"Unification" will be the byword
of Michigan State fall practice
sessions when Al Spartan gridders
gather here next Wednesday for
their opening workout.
In the eyes of Coach Charley
Bachman, striving for unity and
teamwork will be the main prob
lem for the Spartan eleven to
point at this year.
Assured of a reasonably talented
crop of material, Bachman admits
that il will be quite a task to
mold last years reserves and un-
experienced sophomores into a
gridiron machine that will click
with a reasonable amount of team
work.
But, on the other hand, every
day between next Wednesday and

State Grid Practices
To Stress UnificatiOn

October 3 when the Spartans open
their nine-game schedule with
will be dedicated to this
end.
Bachman doesn't appear too
worried about the reserves from
last year. Sandwiched in with
them will be two starters in the
backfield, Dick Kieppe and Walt
Pawlowski, at the halves. But the
remainder of the team must be
recast and unified.
From the promising sophomore
material, Bachman is counting
upon Ken Badge, former all-state
end from Fordson; Harry Huber,
ex-all city tackle at Northwestern;
William Chirota, a guard from
Pershing; Austin Miller, a center
from Redford and Bob Bischman,
an all-state back from Lagrange,
Ill. among others.

Slow Stock Decline
About Wipes Out
Recent Rally
Fractional Losses
Well in Majority
At Sessions End
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
PreA Financial Writer

NEW YORK, March 20.-A slow
drifting stock market today Just
about Cancelled the brisk Macarthur
rally of st. Patrick's Day.
Buying confidence was lacking at
the start. with nothing mucn Of
stimulation provided by the war
news. Fractional declines were the
rule from then on, although an as
sortment of leaders eventually cut
their quotations a point or so. There
were feeble comebacks at the close
and a smattering of favorites man
aged to emerge with modest ad-
vances, but minus signs still were
well in the majority.
The usual deposition of customers
to trim commitments or get out OF
the market over the week end
served to restrain bidders during the
day. The thought was present that
both Hitler and the Japanese might
pull unpleasant surprises on Sunday.
Pearl Harbor, it was recalled, hap
pened on the Sabbath. In the spec
ulative and investment mind there
also remained apprehension over
taxes and labor.
The pleas of President Schram
and the American Federation of
Labor for repeal or revision of the
capital gains tax sounded a hopeful
note in financial quarters. but the
attitude of Congress on this argu-
ment was cloudy enough to hold
optimism in allegiance.
Transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Stocks in new low ground for the
year included American Telephone,
Homestake Mining and International
Harvester.
In the retreating column most Of
the time were United States Steel,
youngstown Sheet, Montgomery
Ward, Western Union. Amer ican
Smelling, Du Pont, United States
Gypsum, Union Carbide. Standard
Oil New Jersey and Union Pacific.
Resistant were Dow Chemical,
Sperry, Consolidated Aircraft, Texas
Co. and Chicago Great Western pre-
ferred.
Bond Prices Narrow.
Small changes either way were the
rule in the bond market. Going into
the final hour minor gains and
declines were fairly evenly balanced,
with a number of rails going over to
the plus side after spending most Of
the morning slightly under water or
holding stationary.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, March 20-Fresh de-

carried prices of leading cereals and

Rye fell almost q cents. wheat

Stop loss selling was blamed for
