into a powerful club with the
city's outstanding halfback in
Tino Sabuco.
The Cubs have swept aside all
opposition in three games so far
without being scored upon. But
Sabuco looms more of a threat
than all Of the Cubs opposition
combined.
The Mackenzie ace has aver
aged IA yards per try in four
games this year, tops for any
prep player hereabouts. He will
get help from Herb Slayton and
Dan Mckenzie, who are not far
behind in the ground gaining

Against this, u. of d. High will
throw two sets of backs who have
worked with great efficiency in

probably will start off with Don
Weidman at quarter, Dick Ryan
and Joe Parke, halves, and Nor
man Martell, full.
Ready TO move in when needed
will be the combination of Mario
Trafeli, Marvin Calvin, George
Roskopp and Bill Ayotte. Parke
and Roskopp are triple-threaters.

Coach Dorais Of the Lions ha,
ordered a seat in the stands fol
the game Sunday between the
Lions and Packers at Briggs Sta
dunn.
He will sit up In the second
deck at the south end of the field
and direct plays via a telephone.
Joe Bach, his assistant coach, will
be at the other end of the line.
Thus Dorais plans to take a
leaf from the book of Curley
Lambeau, the Green Bay coach,
who is the first pro to spot
from the stands during a game
and who will be In another Sec
ton of the same deck shouting
instructions TO one of his as
sistants.
1t should be a furious telephone
duel.
"The system does not seem to
have done the Packers any
HARM" said Dorais wryly,
maybe 10 will the Lions. At
least I'D like to have a try at
II and see how II works"
SEE BETTER
why shouldn't the head
coach aft up there?" Lambeau
demanded recently. "You can
see everything 90 much better.
Down low your perspective n
bad. Up high, you can see for
yourself what n right and
wrong and make your decisions
quickly"

triple threat fullback for whom
Michigan State followers are al
READY claiming All-American hon.
ors. will lead the. Spartans' charge
against Wayne University's de-
termined football team at Y of d.

More than 1900 are expected
to see the two unbeaten teams.
State, with triumphs over Scran-
ton, Kentucky. Kansas State and
Maryland. will be the heavy
favorite over the Wayne eleven
which beat Otterbein, Pip, in
Its only game.
The durable Breslin. who went

So against Maryland despite his
AT draft rating, Is a 22-year-old
husky from Battle Creek who will
present the Tartars with, their
major problem as they endeavor
to score their first victory in the
seven games between the teams.
TRIPLE THREAT
Breslin carries the ball on play
after play and has averaged three
yards a smash, completed almost
half his passes for an average OF
81 yards a completion and as the
Spartans' punter has an average
of 3S yards.
Gembis isn't predicting victory
although he believes II possible.
He has seen his team hold State
as long as SO minutes without a
score, only to fall in the last few
plays.
But he believes his line, led by
Seymour Pomish and Hal Vogler,
two former All-City prep tackles,
may be able TO match States line.
Michigan State supporters In
Detroit and the public have Gre

Pro Grid Duel by Phone
LAMBEAU, DORAIS COACH IN STANDS

Anyway II Is all clean fun and
pro football has Lambeau tc
thank for a lot of innovations
off the field II not on II.
He was the first pro coach to
send his team around the country
by plane, first to keep all his subs
In the warmth of the dressing
room on a cold day and call them
out by telephone as he needed
them, which he did at a Pitts
burgh game In Milwaukee.
And. Of course, he was the first
pro coach to take TO the stands
AS on Oct. "a. 1943, at Briggs
Stadium.
NEW IDEAS
In the meantime. Dorais has
been putting his Lions through
strenuous workouts.
The Packers will reach Detroit
tomorrow morning and be quar-
tered at the Statler. They will
work out Saturday afternoon at
a secret place. According to
from Green Bay the Pack
ers were drilled every day this
week and twice on Wednesday"
The Lions today had two new
players under contract. Fred
Dawley. a halfback who started
at Pershing High several years
ago and later played at Univer-
sity Of Michigan, joined the squad
today.
Also added was Freeman Rexer.
6-foot 1-inch, 210-pound end.

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 81 Cecil
Isbell, who brings his Purdue club
to face Michigan tomorrow, is no
stranger to football fans in this
area.
While he made a great repu-
tation as a player for Purdue, il
was in the pro ranks that he
made his frequent appearances
here.
While he was passer for the
Green Bay Packers he combined
with his teammate. Don Hutson,
to rewrite the chapter on forward
passing in the National Football
League. ISbell has accounted for
more than one victory over the
Lions.
LINE GETS TEST
That's one of the reasons Coach
Crisler and his aides have been
paying so much attention TO their
aerial defense in preparation for
tomorrow'S contest before $4,000
or more fans.
Cecil is air minded. And in Raw
Schultz he has an excellent passer
and Boris Dimancheff is a splen-
did receiver.
Clarence Munn's line will re-
ceive its toughest test. Crisler,
who secuted Purdue, rates their
line the best the Wolverines have
faced. The Michigan line has been
improving in every game.
Between contests Mum works
hard and long polishing of the
rough spots that appear on Sat-
urday. Now Il is a better than
fair line and may provide Michi-
gan with its margin over the Boil
ermakers.
Purdue will arrive late today
and hold a short workout after
finishes its light drill.
