SIXTEEN JTHBJSVRNING INDEPENDENT. MASSILLON. OHIO XT rn THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 18. Xoungstown Tackles Geneva In Grid Season's OpeneK A TVT Tfc JL VETERAN BUCKEYE TEAM IS FAVORED Unpredictable Campaign Ahead For Most Of Ohio's Colleges As Coaches Are Busy Shaping New Squads For Coming Games By The Associated Press The curtain rolls up tonight on what appears to be one of Ohio's most unpredictable collegiate football seasons.

What with the way many coaches have been slapping new squads together in desperate attempts to cover up vacancies created by draft, defense jobs, graduation injuries, it's a Httle hard to say how the rankings will look a couple months hence. Youngslown Should One definite prediction you could make at. the moment is that Youngstown college, boasting a squad made up chiefly of veterans should have little trouble with Geneva (Pa.) college at the'steel city tonight in launching the Buckeye campaign. Not so many other schools have a supply of veterans though At I Ashland college, Coach Tony Lonero has only 16 men from which to bulln a team, and linemen are being taught to play the backfieid, and V1CC VGTS3.

Bud Higgins. From the Gopher camp, where players are scrapping for places on the sleeper to Seattle for the opening game with Washington Sept. 27, come reports or this 155-pound sophomore halfback who has the old college try and the ruggedness usually associated with beefier lads." If Bud continues to come through on the Minnesota practice field, lie looks like a good bet to fit Coach Bernie Bierman's need for a replacement for Capt.

Bruce Smith at left half. Wisconsin is bemoaning the loss of Bob Wilding, veteran left halfback, who found an old shoulder injury would force him to give up competition this year. Ohio State's gridders spent yesterday's practice taking each other's places as the big shuffle of personnel continued. At Ann SHINES FOR GOPHERS Coach Howard Kissell is stressing passing to offset lack of power. Coach Bob Whittaker at Bowling Green has 40 candidates, including 12 tettermen, but a big question mark still looms, Stan Yoder.

200- pound fullback from Bowling Green, will be lost in the opener against Woosier Sept. 17 because of an injured knee. Sam Selby's Otterbein Cardinals cut their grid drills to one a day, and prepared to rise or fall with "a team made up chiefly of sophomores in key backfieid and line spots- A note of cheer entered the picture at Wooster when Dick Sproull of New Kensington. a halfback, joined the Scots' squad of 30. of rest while Paul SarringhauV shows his stuff i Arbor Coach Fritz Crisler expressed a desire for warm weather to burn some of the excess poundage off his Michigan squad.

A couple of Purdue sophomore backs, Bob Chester and Kenneth Smock, are showing up well in Boilermaker' drills as Coach Mai Elward works on a fast aerial attack. Iowa had two sophomore ends, Henry Miller and Bob Yelton, on the second team where they apparently have clinched positions, and now the two are scrapping for first team berths. Another first-year man who showed up well yesterday was Buck Correll. Pass defense was the order at Indiana where Coach Bo McMillin is fretting about the end situation. Two Walsh and Howdy will get the call for the first game.

Second- year men also are filling Northwestern's flank positions, but Coach Lynn Waldorf is seeking understudies for pair, Bob Motl and Bud Hasse. SECTIONAL By WAHliH L.

That does not necessarily mean that the Bucks are overloaded with talent but merely gives an indication of how evenly matched are the various candidates for some of the positions.

In fact, in not one position does any player have his job cinched. Anderson For End Job At the ends Charlie Anderson and Sam Fox are the leading candidates by experience, but Pete Hershberger is giving Charlie a terrific battle and will do even better when he is fully recovered from his throat ailment. Fox is no more able to let, up because he is fighting for the job with sophomore Bob Shaw, and the two have alternated between the Jirst and second strings. At both tackles there is a battle with Jim Daniell and Chuck Csuri holding the edge over Don McCafferty and Captain Jack Stephenson at the moment but not by very much. Ed Bruckner and Fritz Howard are the veteran guards but Bruckner is not far ahead of sophomore Hal Dean and Howard, handicapped by a bad knee, is playing second fiddle to Lin Houston.

At center, there is a real free-for- all, with at least three, and maybe four possibilities. Karl Martin is on top of the heap for the tune being, but Johnny Rosen is hot on his heels and Bill Vickroy's poise and experience may stand him in good stead in the long run. Then too, there's clever Jack Roe, lurking in the background. The first string backfieid is pretty well set, with Johnny Hallabrin at quarter. Fisher and Kinkade at left and right half and Graf at fullback.

However, Hallabrin has been out for a few days with an injured side and may be out most of this week.
