While 10,000 well-wishers looked on last night in Olympia Frank Patrick's rejuvenated Bruins thoroughly ruined the Red Wings' 1934 debut by trampling over the Detroit hopefuls, 4 to 2. These followers saw the champions go into reverse and display a brand of hockey several jumps removed from the accepted major league standard.

The Wings were decisively outplayed by a vastly Improved Boston team that floundered in the cellar throughout the 1933-34 campaign. The Wings revealed none of the class that marked their scoreless tie with the Toronto Maple Leafs 10 days ago, as they stumbled through 60 minutes of unpolished but hard-fought hockey to inevitable defeat The Wings could do nothing right. They fumbled passes. They missed Boston puck-carrieri by 171 LL several feet.

Michigan's great 30-minute stand against Minnesota got under way following a brilliant klckoff. Every Michigan man was down under the kick and the receiver was smothered deep In the Gopher territory. Wisconsin Rises as Team to Break Big Ten Triple Tie Illini to Be Extended Still Again Saturday as Gophers Face Chicago, Purdue Coasts Start MENTAL MENTAL lapses, split second periods of relaxation, departure from alert football have cost the Michigan team touchdowns, placekicks and victories this fall. For many years the system at Michigan has been to seize upon the opponent's mental lapses, periods of relaxation and departure alertness and convert such things Into touchdowns, placekicks and victories. The system at Michigan has been to dupe rivals into relaxation.

"Smart football" the critics called it. "Manufacturing of breaks" others have said. From others "the prayer" In the Michigan system. Michigan never has had a "punt, pass and prayer" system of offense or defense. Michigan's offensive system is a very simple one.

It consists of withholding from the opponent as long as possible what play will be used and where It will strike. Its system of defense Is diagnosing quickly what play Is coming, where it is going to strike and rapidly assembling strength at the point of attack. But be there a false note in the offense, if some member of the team forgets or fails to do his job, takes a half step in the wrong direction or even sways, not only does the play become apparent to the opponent, but its point of attack. And even an Inferior team can stop such plays. If for so much as a split second a halfback covers the decoy, the wrong man, in forward pass defense, that split Hockey NATIONAL LEAGUE AMERICAN DIVISION GF GA Chicago 1 0 0 3 1 Boston 1 1 7 7 Rangera 0 10 14 0 Detroit 0 1 0 4 INTERNATIONAL DIVISION JU GF GA Toronto St.

When Ward kicked off to Lynn Jordan starting the Wisconsin game Saturday, Michigan fans had every reason to believe that the situation was ideal for Michigan.

Wasn't It exactly Identical with the start of the brilliant stand against the Gophers? Wasn't every Michigan man, except the safety man, running down the field hard? That was exactly the way It looked. But there was a mental lapse, a split second period of relaxation, a departure from alert football on the part of some player or players and Lynn Jordan went through what has come to be known as the "blue wall." Jordan's run will go down In the Football Guide with other outstanding scoring plays which have been recorded since 1873. There was nothing the matter with Michigan's spirit when it had the ball a few minutes later on the Wisconsin three-yard line. The determination was there, too. But the timing and the precision were missing and the scoring opportunity was lost when the Badgers quickly discovered with what Michigan was going to strike and massed strength to stop it A lapse In the protection of the kicker paved the way for the Badger placekick.

The Wisconsin ends, playing a rushing game all afternoon the perfect type of end for criss crosses, ends around, "statute play," or even "Old 83" were harassing the Wolverine kicker and Wolverine kickers are not used to having opponents rush In on them. They are used to this "blue wall," which generally affords ample protection. Every football game produces many, many lapses. It so happens that there have been an unusual number made by Michigan this fall which have been converted into points and victories. But there still is plenty of potential punch in this Michigan team and Ohio State and Northwestern had best not take It lightly.

The Wolverine spirit Is the same as of old and while that's there Michigan will be a dangerous rival. Chicago Team Gives Detroit Eleven Shock Potsy Clark's Squad Sees Lead Pared in Last Period CHICAGO, Nov. 11 (A. Earl IDutch) Clark and the Detroit Moris kept pace with the Chicago pears In the National Professional Football League title battle, but suffered their worst, and only real shock of the season, In conquering the other Chicago entrant, the Cardinals, 17 to 13, before 7,500 fang it Wrigley Field. The Lions, who had been scored on only once previously, were bowl-in? along with a 17 to 0 lead with the final period well underway nhen tne uarainais staged an uprising that thoroughly warmed up the almost congealed spectators.

Two smashing drives led by Dougal Russell, with Sarboe and Smith ejslsting, accounted for two quick touchdowns Just before the finish. Clark la Injured Detroit, powerful with the great Clark in action, was just another ball club with the former Colorado College ace out He suffered a severely wrenched ankle early in the second period and was forced to retire for the balance of the afternoon. Clark scored the first touchdown on an 18-yard jaunt and drop-kicked for the extra point. 1 He was hurt just after the second frame started. Glen Presnell replaced him as leader of the Lion attack and added three points via a 31-yard placekick in the same session.

Presnell went over for the ther touchdown In the third period. The greater part of the first jertod was used up fumbling the ball back and forth, the ball handling of the rival teams at this stage or tne proceeaings Deing telow the caliber that should rea sonably be expected from sand lot segregations. Periodically, Clark threw passes and connected with receivers just to show, perhaps, that at least one man on the field knew the proper way to handle a football. Finally, Detroit found its sense of direction long enough to put over a touchdown late in the first period. Clark Starts Scoring Drive Clark started the ball moving towards the Cardinal goal line by running one of Griffith's punts back to Detroit's 42-yard line.

On the first play, Clark slipped through tackle for a 7-yard advance and two cracks at the line by Chrlstensen gave the Lions first down on Card 47-yard line. A five-yard penalty, assessed on the Cards for offside play, and a 15-yard excursion around end by Clark gave Detroit first down on the Card 27-yard line. On his next try, Clark picked off seven yards. On the next Chrlstensen drove to the Card 17-yard line for a first down. Caddell lost a yard on the next play, but, on second down, Clark started to his right, cut back to his left Into the clear and over the Cardinal goal line, 18 yards lown the field, for tnilchrlnwn He drop-kicked the extra point to Rive Detroit a 7 to 0 lead.

The boys were seized With another epidemic of fumbling thereafter then, Clark, in the mlririlo nf another personal offensive drive, hurt and was obliged to quit the game. Presnell Boot Field Goal Thlj brought Presnell, former star, Into action In his ace. Not long afterward, Presnell clutched a Cardinal punt, kicked by Greene, and returned it 26 yards to the Card 27-yard line. Two rushing plays and an incompleted pass kWun off w'thout Detroit being sole to advance.

It was a sight rler, Jay Berwanger, sitting on the sidelines because of Injuries, were being walloped by Ohio State, 33-0.

Without Berwanger, a spectacular backfield star, the Maroons cannot accomplish much. The Buckeyes dazzled the Maroons with lateral and forward passes, scoring 20 points in the first 20 minutes' play. The Buckeyea were superior in every department making 14 first downs to 7 for Chicago, and completed out of 16 passes for 121 yards. Roll Up 201 PoInU Minnesota's titlebound football machine, after scoring in the first half minute of play and again a few minutes later, decided to ease up on the Hoosiers in the second period and then turned on the steam again In the third and fourth.

The Boilermakers had much less difficulty than the score indi cates. They rolled over the stub born Hawkeyes for 608 yards and iirsi ciowns. Olympics Meet Windsor Tonight Patterson to Replace Asmundson George Patterson, Red Wings' right winger, will line up with the Olympics Monday night when the O's face the Windsor Bulldogs In their second game of the campaign in tne Border uities Arena. Patterson will fill In on the right wing lor the ailing ossie Asmund son, whose leg Is still being treated for blood poisoning. Eddie wise man got the same assignment in the Olympics' opening game of the season last Thursday night, and it is probable that Yank Boyd will take Asmundson's place when the Olympics meet the renamed Cleveland Falcons at Olympia Tuesday night.

First place will be the goal of the O's when they face the Bulldogs Monday night. The Olympics, Windsor, London and Syracuse are tied for the top rung with one victory, although the Bulldogs also have lost a game, that opening nignt when a better conditioned band of Olympics beat them, 3 to 1. However, the Windsor team showed vast Improvement In scoring a 4-3 victory in Cleveland Saturday night The Bulldogs have a high class minor league team on paper and should Improve with every game.

National Pro Grid Standings WESTERN DIVISION as erratic a thir m.im. their speed was retarded to a point that made them look very bad in the face of the Bruins' fast, short passing game. Wings' Protest Ignored Charley Sands, a young right winger purchased by the Bruins from the Toronto Maple Leafs, bagged two of Boston's goals. The first one came midway in the first period and was protested futile. i iv iiia.

oik; neia otew- art bagged another in the first min ute of the second period and Eddie Bhore got the last one on a lone effort early In the third period. Eddie Wiseman and Ebbie Good-fellow did the scoring for the Wings, Wiseman's goal tying the count late In the first period and Goodfellow coming with less than two minutes to play in the third session. The had the Wings on the defensive almost from the start Herbie Lewis was penalized early in the first period for hnltlinv nj Beattle and the Wings were hard pressed. Shortly after Lewis got back in the game, Yank Boyd was banished for tripping Tony Savage, and again the Wings were forced to fight against superior numbers. It was while Boyd was cooling his heels that Sands drove the puck home for the Bruitis' first goat The Wings protested thnt Glroux was inside the goal crease when Sands scored, and now have photographs to prove their contention, but Referee Eusebe Daignault ruled it a legitimate tally and the Wings found themselves on th short end and running a poor sec ond in general play while the big opening night crowd sat back expecting the worst, and the cus tomers were not disappointed.

Clapper Checks Referee Late In the period, the belliger ency that has marked Boston-De troit games for seven years broke out Marty Barry was given a minor penalty for unethical use of his elbows and the Bruins' center im mediately broke loose in a flow of oratory that must have injured Referee Charley Dinsmore's dignity. The official tacked one oT those meaningless 10 minutes misconduct penalties on Barry's sentence. That did not sit well with Barry's running mate, Dit Clapper and the big right winger took up Barry'j cause with another oration that Dinsmore apparently accepted as far from complimentary because Dit was given a 10 minutes misconduct. Dinsmore had a tough time convincing the second offender that he was out of line, and before Clapper and Dinsmore, surrounded bv other players, reached the penalty box. Clapper gave the referee a cross-check close to the chin.

That act usually results in a match penalty, but ten minutes rest and a substitute for Clapper was the only penalty against the Boston club for the star's action. While Barry and Clapper were enjoying the proceedings from the penalty cop, Wiseman crossed the mouth ef the Boston goal and was promptly slashed across the hands by Goalie Tiny Thompson of the Bruins. This escaped official no tice and Thompson was permitted Please Turn to Paoe 15 Column 2 good for a substantial gain almost every time he smashed the State line. And Ginter, the sub, smashed It often as he rolled up almost 200 yards to lead Syracuse to its triumph. He waa inspired plenty.

Coach Vic Hanson's subs made good at the expense of Coach Bach-man's. The hole through which the Syracuse backs poured all afternoon was on the left side of the State line, over tackle most of the time. That berth was occupied part of the game by Howard Zindel, Grand Rapids sophomore who got out of an Infirmary bed at East Lansing to accompany the team and Archie Ross, another Grand Rapids boy who was the best replacement Bachman could find. Zindel was doubtless a little op timistic when he reported himself ready to accompany the team. He couldn't break up those powej drives led by Substitutes Albanese and Gitner and when Bachman took him out and replaced him with Ross, the latter di no better.

It was up to the secondary usually and that meant a good gain. Ginter hit that spot almost every time as he ploughed to the only touchdown of the game, and as he helped set the stage for Joe Voora's field goal.

Such split seconds frequently mean the difference between victory and defeat. Such a period of departure from alert football may demoralize an entire eleven.

MICHIGAN'S football team Is possessed of a great fighting spirit The team is and has been in excellent physical condition. It has an abundance of weight and enough ambitious and intelligent young men to offset a lack of speed. But despite the splendid and commendable spirit, which traditionally Is the finest in the Western Conference; despite the fine physical condition and ambitious young men, Michigan lost to an inferior Wisconsin eleven because of mental lapses. After the Michigan State de-eat it was apparent that the Wolverines were weak in pass defense and lacked punch In ineir offense. Chicago whipped Michigan because of weak aerial defense and faulty punt handling.

The mistakes in these two games were mechanical and could be corrected. To a certain extent they were against an ordinary Georgia Tech team. There were fewer periods of mental relaxation and Ferris Jennings ran back a punt for a brilliant touchdown. It was brilliant only because the Michigan team sprang into sudden and vicious blocking action against a partially relaxed Tech eleven. The Michigan fighting spirit was apparent for 60 minutes against a eupcrior Illinois eleven.

It was a good football spectacle, with Michigan showing vast improvement over all previous engagements and the word went out that the Wolverines Btill were dangerous. THAT early in the season the scouts from Wisconsin, from Minnesota and from Ohio State and Northwestern declared that there was much latent power in the Wolverines. And so home they went telling their teams, their head coaches and their athletic directors to "look out for that Michigan team, they'll soon find themselves and be awful tough about the time we meet them." Sig Harris, the Gopher scout, said just that to Bernie Bier-man and all the folks at Minneapolis. And Slg was almost right For 30 minutes Michigan astounded the football world with a defensive stand against all the concentrated power of an amazing array of Minnesota power plays, splits, criss crosses and straight smashes. Then a moment of relaxation In the third period and a pass was completed.

A split second departure from alert football and Pug Lund went 16 yards for a touchdown. Another lapse, this time a short kick, which was seized upon by the Gophers resulted in a second touchdown. Then the Michigan morale cracked up and the Gophers, savagely hammering (tender.

Keeling shook his head as he concluded, "I wonder how he will perform after he gets accustomed to the big league."

11 Wisconsin may explode the bombshell next Saturday to break the triple tie ex isting for the 1934 football championship of the Western Confer ence. The Badgers meet Illinois at Madison, in the spotlight game of the weeK, while the other two teams sharing championship pros pects Minnesota and Purdue will engage less dangerous opponents, The rough young men from Minne sota will meet the Chicago Maroons at Minneapolis, with Purdue invading New York for a game with- a non-conference ODDonent roranam.

This has been the custom of Coach Spears' team. The Badgers' 10-0 victory over Michlean yesterday sharpened the morale of the team to a point where upset victory over Illinois might be possible.

Wisconsin scored its touch down against the Wolverines on the opening play of the game, when Lynn Jordan, a fleet nineteen-year-old halfback, grabbed the opening kick-off and ran 100 yards. This jarred the Wolverines and forced them into a hole the rest of the game.

That's one reason Michigan State College lost to Syracuse Saturday and left the State of Michigan without an un defeated college football eleven.

Syracuse has a good rooiDaii team. It Is not a great team but It is as well grounded fundamentally as any coach could ask. It is a team that might beat Michigan State two out of three times. There Is a question about that But there no Question that Syracuse gave State Its first defeat Saturday be cause Vio Hanson's subs were far superior to those Charley Bachman could use to patch up his team.

"Save me from any inspired subs," he exclaimed when told that Lou Stark and Nick Di Nunzio, two regular Syracuse backs, would not play and that Lou Ginter and Van-nie Albanese would probably start their places. Heard About Them Bachman had already heard about those two players. Mike Casteel who had scouted the Orange several games this season had reported that they were better than the regulars.
