ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. 81
-(P)-Indiana's veteran-packed
Hoosiers, camped at nearby
Jackson, Mich, and Michigan s
fres h men-studded Wolverines
romped through final tune-up
drills today for their Big Ten
football opener here Saturday,
a game in which both teams
hope to nail the first rivet in

last week over Great Lakes.
ruled a slight favorite but the
Hoosiers were highly regarded
with a squad that included IA
lettermen, eight of them figured
to be in the starting lineup.
A crowd Of 10000 fans was
in prospect for the game as the
Wolverines sought to avenge a
20 to 0 upset defeat OF 1914,
third Indiana victory in q IL
game series that had its start As
years ago.

Ample evidence of the hitting
power of the I. o. O. F. softball
team which won the Junior
League title is given in the bat
ting averages which show that
10 Of the Oddfellows have hit
over the 800 mark.
Winning top honors Is Floyd
Zoelling Of the Oddfellows who
hit a powerful 1913. He was at
bat 80 times and knocked out 10
clean hits, one good for triple
and another for two bases.
Zoelling also won top honors for
the first round.
The runnerup position was ia
ken by Marvin Thoel, also OF the
Oddfellows who cracked out 20
hits in Al tries with the stick
for q 1872 average. He hit three
triples and four two = baggers,
plus one circuit blow.
Don Whalen of Terrace Gar
dens who took the third place
position sarnered the most hits
of anyone in the league as he
blasted out 26 clean hits in 80
times at bat for an average OF
$50. He hit three home runs
and six doubles.
At this point the Oddfellows
again took over and Chuck Phil
lips Is next with SIP average
with Il hits in Al tries. Jack
Moore Of the Double O's won
the fifth spot by hitting .474.
Although pitchers are suppos-
ed to be weak hitters, Bill Mid
dleton, Oddfellow hurler and
Richard DUSTY" Rhodes, twirl-
or for Nesbitt's Orange, dispel
that axiom.
Middleton knocked out 20 hits
in A tries for a ass average

Tigers Return
10 Home Field

DETROIT, Sept. 2l-R)-De-
troit's pennant-hopeful Tigers
their flag dreams set back twice
straight by Cleveland, came
home today to Briggs stadium
where they play four Of their re-
naming six games in the fast
dying American League season.
Beaten 6 to / yesterday by the
stubborn Indians, who have lick
ed them seven times in their last
eight meetings, the Tigers lost
no ground to Washington, which
bowed to New York by the same
sore and still trails Detroit by
full game.
The Senators, tackling the
Yankees again today, can lop a
half game off the Detroit edge
by winning, for the Tigers well
coined a day of rest before en-
gaging St. Louis in a two-game

0 pens Season
On Sept. 50
First Strinssrs
Are Announced
by Cooeh lobslle

Over at st. Mary's field yes
terday the Mountaineers staged
a scrimmage with Holy Cross of
Marine City and judging from
the way the local team looked
Coach Bernard La Belle should
have a winning combine this
year.
The scrimmage was carried on
under simulated game conditions
with first downs and kickoffs
and from the very start the
Mountaineers showed that they
would be no match for the Ma
riners.
PETITPREN SHINES
Co-Captain Vim Petitpren was
outstanding for the st. Mary's
team and reeled off some ex-
ceptional long runs in addition
to playing a. strong defensive
game in the halfback spot.
Coach La Belle has a fairly
heavy team this year with ten
lettermen returning to add glory
to the Blue and Gold.
Co-Captain Edward Miles is a
sure starter at center with Joe
Keefe and Al King listed for the
end posts. Keefe will start at
right end and King is named as
the left TANKER.
John Breiling has one of the
tackle posts sewed up but a stiff
battle is going on between Red"
kott and Gerry Meldrum for the
other tackle spot.
At guards Father La Belle has
named Ed Lick to start at the
right guard position and George
Angermeir and Dale Visnaw
are fighting it out for the left
guard spot.
STRONG BACKFIELD
The backfield picture looks
particularly bright and in addi-
ton to Vim Petitpren at left
half, Jim Lowe is slated to start
at right half. Ken Dubay will
call the signals from the quarter
back post where he played last
year.
In the fullback slot, Joe Coke,
rugged back will take care of
the plunging. Listed as a re-
serve back is Jack Ballantine
who should see a great deal of
service during the year.
The Mountaineers are slated
to open their season on Sunday,
September 80 when they meet
st. Rita of Detroit. The Detroit
team is the defending champs
Of the league and the local team
will do their utmost to produce
an upset.

results of Friday nights game
and some of the leading COL
legiate games Saturday. The
winning team is in caps.
MOUNT CLEMENS Monroe:
Quinn's ability to turn out scrap

gin of victory. Very close.
Indiana MICHIGAN: Walt Te-
ninga looks good, Wolverine

passing attack.
MINNESOTA Missouri: Ber-
ME Bierman is back and with
him victory is assured.
Syracuse-C CORNELL: The Red
Men from Cayuga's water have
too much speed and weight.
Great Lakes WISCONSIN,:
The Bluejackets lack the
strength of last year. Wisconsin
has Jerry Thompeea.
PURDUE Marquette: Not a.
bad as last year but the Boiler
makers will come out on top.
ILLINOIS Pittsburgh: Four
teen returning lettermen for the
Illini Is just too much for the

TO Be Discharged

EAST LANSING. Sept. 81. -
R-Michigan State Colleges
old master of the punt, the
plunge and the pass-Johnny
Pingel-is on his way back 20
his Alma Mater to teach football
fledglings of another generation
winning football tactics.
Major Pingel, All-American
triple-threat halfback on Coach
Charley Bachman's 1893 Orange
Bowl eleven, is expected to re-
ceive a discharge before the
end of the month from the army.
When he returns to his home
here, there will be a job of as
sistant football coach waiting
for him, Athletic Director Ralph
II. Young said.
Pingel, who has served Sc
months in the army, 20 of them
overseas in the European and
Pacific theaters, was named as
stant football coach yesterday
by the State Board of Agricul-
ture, the colleges governing
body, at its monthly meeting.
Pingel probably will take over
the backfield duties of regular
backfield Coach Joe Holsinger,
who is recovering from an op-
Grafton. The former Spartan Star
will be especially helpful to
Michigan States kickers, be-
cause of bis ability at spot punt
ing. In his last years college
player, Pingel had the best
bunting record in the country.

ed Oscar Chapaton and Donald

the bark Of the gun and the
ducks went earthward.
They waited and the two men
came out of the marshes but
with no ducks. The deputies
took their guns away from them
and after a warning they were
released.

The favor of the 18th century is

no one mans personality was more

should ingratiate him with all poor
Yorick's friends.
