Michigan's S Toughest
Test Looms in Gophers
BY The Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.--Michigan's
powerful football steam roller, which
has amassed 222 points in its first
four games against "a for its op-
ponents. probably will receive its
stiffest test before a sell-out crowd
of 85,938 at Ann Arbor tomorrow
when the Wolverines meet Mime
sofa.
The 38th Michigan Minnesota
game probably ranks as the most
important of three games tomorrow
involving Big Nine title possibilities.
In the second-ranking contest,
Illinois, defending Big Nine cham-'
pion and Rose Bowl titlist, travels
to Lafayette, Ind, to tackle Purdue
before a capacity crowd of $4,000.
It will be the 31st renewal of one
of the Oldest rivalries in Western
Conference football. The Illini won
their first game since 1919 from the
Boilermakers last year., 43 to 7.
In the third conference engage
ment, injury -riddled Northwestern
opposes Indiana in its home coming
game.

fed and make that dissatisfaction
known.
AS yet no official action has been
taken by either student leaders or
alumni groups, but the widespread
opinion that Coach Jimmy Kits
and his staff might be strongly adj
vised to produce few wins or pass
on is growing.
One of VPI's alumni groups was
reported to have gathered in an
off -the-record session and asked for
an investigation of the coaching sit
uation at the Blacksburg school.
Signs Critical of Coaches.
First indications of the unrest
came earlier this week when dis
paraging remarks concerning the
caliber of the coaches were found
chalked on the sidewalk outside
the V. P. l. gym.
w. L. Monk Younger, Techs
athletic director, said last night that
he first noticed the writing Tuesday
morning and added that it appar-
emily had been done by one person
since all the handwriting appeared
the same. Younger declared that
team members questioned concern
ing the writing expressed anger
over the apparent intent of the
writing.
Tech needs new coaches" and
Tech has the material, it needs
new builders" two of the signs read.
Coach Kits apparently was ready
to disregard the handwriting on
the sidewalk as he declared last
night, I'm more concerned with
the ball team and trying to win the
game with Maryland than I am
with the attitude of few students"
Injuries Handicap Tech.
The drawing Texan didn't deny
that he was disappointed in the
results of the last three games, but
pointed out that, "after all, we have
nine men injured and seven are key
players. Although I am disappointed
in our showing, I am not disap-
pointed in the efforts the squad has
made in trying to win the games"
After a victory over F'urman in
their opening game, the Gobblers
lost to Virginia, William and Mary
and Army.
That's the record the Techmen
will take into the Maryland tilt
tomorrow and the outcome of that
Southern Conference engagement
may shape v. P. rs football future
for a longer period than one season.
Tech meanwhile continued it's
preparations with lighter drills
scheduled for today.

6. W. Hopeful Of Win
Over Low-Scoring
Miami Tonight
n klIl NLll
By MerreIl WhittIesey
Stor Stoff Correspondent

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 24-The Uni
versity of Miami Hurricanes have
been scoring at the rate of touch
down a week in four games to date
and the George Washington Uni
versity eleven sincerely hopes the
Hurricanes will stick to their av-
erage in tonights football clash at
the Orange Bowl.
If Miami-which has scored six
points in two games and seven in
the other two-only scores once, the
Colonials figure the four-game los
ing streak will be at an end as.
Coach Skip Stahley's men are in
tent on scoring more than one
touchdown.
One point that bothers the Colo
mails is that Miami. like G.. w., is a
team that is much overdue. The
Hurricanes were supposed to have
done much better than win one, tie
one and lose two in their first four
games. A Miami sports columnist
wrote yesterday that Miami is over
due, but If it can't explode against
G.. w. it never will.
Miami Passes Threaten G. w.
A crowd of $4,000 is expected,
although the forecast is for scat
tered showers. Rain would not
handicap the Colonials as much as
Miami as wet weather would slow
up the team with the best passing
attack and that is not George Wash
ington. Pass defense has been the
Colonials' bugaboo all season. Stah-
ley, faced with his first losing season
in II years of coaching at Western
Maryland, Delaware, Harvard,
Brown, San Diego, Navy and G. w.,
is hopeful of salvaging something
out of this season and he was not
in the mood to pamper the Colonials
upon arrival.

go through signal drill here last
night, but thorough workout, COM
parable to one in midweek.

British Team Arrives
For Ryder Cup Match
WithAirofConfidence
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Dapper,
chipper and bubbling with friendli-
ness, the British Ryder Cup team
paused here overnight before leaving
by rail late today for Portland, Greg,
for the match November l and 2
with the American pro golf stars.
Notably absent was any trace of
defeatism. In fact, the Britons
fairly oozed a quiet confidence and
their captain, Henry Cotton, said
emphatically it is "the best cup team
I've ever played on"
1--we brought a team of wonderful
fellows said the British ace. Its
not a young team, as the youngest
player is 81 and the average age is
36.5, but in spite of the seven terrible
war years, we don't want to offer any
excuses. We want to win and hope
to make good showing"
Cotton, who was spokesman for
the group at press conference
after the players arrival on the
Queen Mary yesterday, said he did
not think the larger American ball
which will be used in the match
will affect the play of his squad.
Honorary captains of the Amer
ican team, Walter Hagen and Craig
Wood, and officials of the PGA,
including President Ed Dudley,
greeted the visitors here, and Cot
ton paid a sincere tribute to the
Haig.
Also present to receive the Britons
was Robert Hudson, Portland
sportsman and sponsor of the
tournament.
The British squad is made up of
Comdr. r. c. T. Rowe, British
PGA secretary and manager of
the tour; Cotton, Dal Rees, Charles
Ward, James Adams, DAILY, Reggie
Horne, Eric Green, Sam King, Art
Lees and Max Faulkner.
The invaders, after years of living
on severe British rations, are glory
ing in the ample repasts now avail
able. AL the players gained weight
aboard ship and, Cotton reported,
'it was the first time many of us
had seen steak on our plates in
wears"

Swiacki, Lions Hope
Against Army, Earns
LouLittIe' 'sPraise
gv the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Columbia's Is
cautious Lou Little is bringing out
all his best adjectives these days for
the benefit of Bill Swiacki, the Lions
pass catching end.
That's rather unusual because
Little, a tear-jerker OF note, is
sparing with praise even when he
is being grimly optimistic about a
game he figures he's pretty sure to
lose. Just a few seconds before he
began heaping praise on SWlackl
Lou conservatively estimated that
two of his most famous products, Sid
Luckman and Paul Goveraali, should
be rated as a pair of footballs bet
ter" passers-he wouldn't say best.
But Swiacki, who'll be one OF Lou
main hopes for an upset victory over
Army tomorrow, was termed a
great" pass receiver.
"I don't think there's any one in
pro football who is better re-
ceiver. unless possibly it's Jim Ben
ton" said Little. "Swiackl is all the
more remarkable because he has
been handicapped by torn muscle
in his ankle, suffered during a pre-
season scrimmage against Temple.
Probably 80 per cent of the play
ers wouldn't attempt to play as soon
as Bill old, but I never heard him
complain or admit that he is tired
or not in condition. If you ask him
he always says he's fine. He's a
great competitor"
Columbia's statistics help to back
up Little's estimate of the abilities
of this 6-foot, 2-inch, 194-pouno
senior from Southbridge, Mass. 1r
four games this season Swiacki has
caught 13 passes for gains of 22s
yards, outdoing all his teammates
in both respects. Seven other re-
ceivers have caught II passes ano
gained 207 yards on them. Swlackl
besides being good catcher, runs
well after he grabs the ball.

free-swinging foot of substitute
Guard Pete Lane provided South
Carolina's Gamecocks with the
margin of victory in their 21-19

Lane kicked all three points
after touchdowns for the Game

convert only one.
The final quarter found Clemson
pounding downf1eld on a drive
which started deep in its own terri
tory, but the clock ran out just as it

Hagerty Is Alert
Against Upset at
Griffith Stadium
Georgetown Tempers
Its Confidence Despite
Victory Over Tulsa

Georgetown's gridmen will pound
out the 18th chapter of a blood-and-
thunder epic with New York Uni
versity tonight at Griffith Stadium,
and while the script should have a
happy ending for the Hoyas, it's the
kind of plot Editor-in- Chief Jack
Hagerty SHES away from. The kick
off is scheduled for $3.50.
After what happened last week,
when Georgetown went West with
gratifying results while N. Y. U. re-
manned in the East and suffered,
the Hoyas ought to win from here
to .lere. The visiting Violet doesn't
belong on the same gridiron with
its host, and that's where Hagerty
rises to object.
Don't tell me it'll be breather," !"
he says with weary wag of his
head. 1T never has been and
don't know why this one should be
any different from the rest. Give
us a game we aren't supposed to
win and my kids will come up with
more surprises than a grab-bag, but
heaven deliver us from these teams
we're supposed to whip in a walk.
They give you more headaches than
a gallon of giggle-water."
Georgetown Upsets Tulsa.
Georgetown upset Tulsa last week,
IL to 0, but the week before blew
a 1910 verdict to a supposedly in
ferior st. Louis eleven. In the open
ing game of the season it lost a
heartbreaking 60 game to Wake
Forest when it was supposed to be
a mere warmup for the Deacons,
which should substantiate Hagerty's
testimony.
New York u, coached by Hook"
Mylin. intends to swing haymakers
from the opening kickoff and hopes
for the best. The Violet strategy
calls for plenty of passes with Jerry
Eisenman, Joe Bonacorsa and Tom
Kavazanjian pitching the pigskin.
The first two are longshot special
lists while Kavazanjian handles the
short pegs.
Pass defense was a weakness with
the Hoyas until last week when a
robust line took matters in hand
and stopped most of the Tulsa
throws before they could be
launched. This was largely the work
of George Benigni, Fran Desmond,
Lou Robustelli and AL Sarashevitz,
although all the boys had a hand
in 1t and Hagerty hopes that dis
play of defensive power was no flash
in the pan.
Raba and Surman Star.
Offensively the Hoyas were es-
corted on their two touchdown
forays by the stout right arm of
Elmer Raba. the infantry duty of
Tommy Graham and Johnny Pres
ton, and the toe of Lou Surman.
An encore by these gentlemen, or
even a reasonable facsimile thereof,
should keep the Hoyas On even
terms with their guests at least, and
very likely far in front.
New York does not have much
to recommend it tonight, for the
Violet has picked itself up off the
sod after three sound thrashings
to come back for more, but an upset
would look good right about here.
A f1ashback to last years engage
ment at New York, where George
town had to fight like fury to
scrape out a 1912 decision in an
other game it was supposed to win
handily, shows that it could happen.

Argentina Employs
American Experts ,
BY the Associated Press


BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 24.-Argen-

States experts to plan housing,
transport, irrigation and hydro
electric projects.
President Juan D. Peron, making
this disclosure at news conference
yesterday, said Argentina intended
to buy much machinery from the
United States for the projects the
American experts are to prepare,
and had been told that all the equip
ment needed could be supplied.
Mr.. Peron also announced that
he had cleared up "misunder-

delegation from the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and railroad unions.
The labor delegation, headed by
Felix H. Knight of the Brotherhood
of Railway Carmen, an ,AFL vice
president, arrived here by plane
last Saturday. An Argentine source
disclosed Tuesday that Mr.. Peron
had been displeased by what he in
terpreted to be the groups attitude.
Mr.. Peron reported that Ameri-
can Ambassador George Messer-
smith had helped him get in touch
with Maj. Gen. Royal B. Lord, and
Rear Admiral Howard A. Flanagan,
both retired, whom he asked to re-
cruit the commission of experts.
Gen. Lord brought the commission
to Argentina and took part in yes
