Thousands of them waited outside the gatei of the Stadium for more than an hour.

Once inside, they took over the situation as completely as they had taken over Ann Arbor prior to the game. The pop, candy and peanut vendors were taxed to meet the demand. High school athletes, many of them lettermen in sweaters, tat awed as the powerful men of Michigan, in traditional blue jerseys, swarmed out on the gridiron for warming up exercises. They watched Central State and compared it with the big blue team. They talked in terms of six-man line defense.

Central end. thrilled the crowd with his sensational pass receiving in the third quarter. When Captain Hudson, of Michigan, and Captain Hawk, of Michigan Normal, simultaneously led their teams on the field the great crowd unleashed Its lustiest cheering.

In the first quarter of the Normal game frequent fumbles deprived Michigan of scoring opportunities. By straight football Michigan's backs, behind a powerful veteran line, scored the first touchdown. The Normal line presented an entirely different defense than it dirt a year ago. But it was apparent that Michigan was out to avenge 1930's close score of 7 to 0. The Normal team fought, but it could rot match Wolverine aggressiveness and offensive drive.

Between the halves the Michigan band, drilled to the minute, marrhed on the field playing The Victors. The famous song brought 50,000 future citizens of the State to their feet. As the game progressed darkness threatened to Interfere, hungry-boys and girls left their seats but not the lettermen. All of them stayed to the end.

After an exchange of punts, Tessmer passed to Heston for the first score. Heston, teaming with Cox, began a line smashing attack, mixed with passes that ended in the second score when Cox dived over the goal line for a one-yard gain. The debut of DeBaker, Michigan halfback, was sensational. He accepted a kickoff and raced TO yards to the Central 27-yard line. Heston threw a pass to Petoskey for the third touchdown.

Substitutions disrupted the Wolverine attack in the second quarter and the Teachers opened a mixed attack which placed the ball on the Michigan 27-yard line.

3 The three pitchers who drew most of the early gossip in this World Series were Grove, Earnshaw and Derringer. Two of them already have been beaten and the star to date has been Hallahan, the speedy left-hander who shut the Athletics out Friday just as he did a year ago. will have to move in a hurry to overtake the Oklahoma Cyclone, who has been the main spark plug up to date. Martin has five base hits to his credit, to say nothing of three stolen bases, all in two games. His play has been aggressive and full of fire from the start.

He has taken chances at moments where they meant something and if he can hold anything like this clip he will be the outstanding star of thc show. The West suffered a complete shut the tape hv inches to inln flr.t Displaying a strong running attack throughout the contest, Coach Kipke's varsity combination clearly outplayed the Hurons and completely avenged lam year's scant 7-0 margin of victory by running up 34 points. Running formations of every description, which crystallzed behind polished blocking, provided the power which accounted for the Maize and Blue point total. Ball carrying honors were divided evenly between Capt. Roy Hudson, and Kipke's pair of promising sophomore halfbacks.

Stan Fay. of Detroit, and Herman Everhardus. Although the Maize and Blue was held scoreless during the first period, it was apparent that the Hurons did not boast the line power to withstand Michigan's driving attack. The Wolverine backs ripped the green line to shreds, and only untimely fumbles prevented more scoring. No errors were made during the second quarter, however, and the Big Ten team experienced little difficulty in counting four touchdowns.

Starting near midfleld, constant plugging at the tackles with Fay and Hudson doing most of the ball lugging, soon drove Normal back to Its own 10-yard stripe. Fay slid off tackle for nine yards and Everhardus went over for the first score. Hozer successfully added the point. Another 59-yard march which again featured nothing but straight, hard football, led to the second Wolverine score. A 15-yard penalty aided in the advance which culminated in Jack Heston's 18-yard dash off tackle for a touchdown.

Hozer again added the point Alert work by John Kowalik, reserve guard, was instrumental In bringing about the next score. He recovered a fumbled lateral pass on Normal's 17-yard line. Heston made six yards off tackle and Fay added seven through the line. It was an easy matter for Hozer to scramble through center from the three-yard marker for a touchdown. Petoskey added the point this time.

Another fumble, this time recovered by Stinespnng, was converted Into a fourth Michigan score just before the close of the half. A long pass Renner to Petoskey, the latter making the catch a la Ooster-baan, provided the scoring punch.

3 Michigan State pushed a battling Cornell College team from Iowa aside this afternoon as it cleared Its path to the first major football conflict of the season, that with the Army at West Point next Saturday. The plucky Iowans who last Saturday held the University of Chicago to a 12 to 0 score, were flattened as the Spartans charged to an easy 47 to 0 victory. State's big and fast-moving machine rolled up 19 points In the first quarter and then sailed along to add scores in every other period. The Spartan line stood out head and shoulders above the purple-clad visitors. The tackles, Buss and Brunette, and the ends, Fase, Keast and Vandermeer, teamed together to tear big gaps In the Cornell ranks through which the Spartan ball carriers poured for long gains.

On defense Cornell could make but small yardage through the bulky forwards.

NORMAL MICHIGAN Ahlv I. Hewi't show that opens again in Philadelphia Monday afternoon. The discussion ot future pitching assignments is now the order of the day as experts find themselves entrenched in the eastern citadel of the post-season pageant. Mack can pitch either Grove or Walberg. Grove Likely The chances are he will pitch Grove to give his left-handed star as much rest as possible in case he is needed for a decisive game later on in the week.

Yet he could work Walberg Monday, Grove Tuesday and Earnshaw Wednesday, and still have Grove ready in case the parade swings back to Missouri turf. There isn't much doubt about Gabby Street working Grimes, if the veteran's arm Is in shape. It hasn't been any too good lately, but now has had a useful rest. Grimes pitched two fine games a year ago, losing both, and if he is in shape he can be counted on to put up a stout front. That is usually his custom in big money games.

Grlrries, Derringer and Hallahan should be the first three choices for the next three games, ready to face Walberg, Grove and Earnshaw, even if the Athletic selection isn't made in this order. Better Hurling The second game brought out much better pitching In both camps than the first. Grove was far from his best on Thursday and Derringer was distinctly below normal. Against this, Earnshaw pitched well, but Hallahan pitched better ball and his pressure with men on bases was more than the Athletics could break down. Earnshaw was more the victim of Pepper Martin's speed than he was of any Cardinal attack where both were used.

So far this same Pepper Martin is the hero of the series. Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane. Jimmy Foxx. Chirk Hafey, Charley Gelbert or Fsank Frisch the series for the National c0ra', 'i'nn jirainuay irom irs. s'i aflor he Pinned his Von'd 1,10 Athletics in the last Fall.

There will be a world of Interest in the next starts that Derringer and Hallahan make. Derringer, with the lesson he learned, and Derringer is smart, should be much harder to beat. Hallahan had to work his second game against the Athletics with a sore finger last year, but this time he will have all the rest he needs. Any one who crowds in the speed this southpaw uses needs all the time he can get between important assignments. He opened fire against the Mack-men on Friday with all he had, and he was still giving them both barrels at the finish.

This means heavy pressure and hard work. But he will have at least four days of rest before he is called on again, which should be next Wednesday. So far. the Cardinals have missed the normal batting strength of Jim Bottomley and Chick Hafey. two of their best sluggers.

Hafey has had a tough time getting started, but he Is about due. So is Bottomley. For that matter Al Simmons has only one hit, and while that Is a home run. he is looking at a smaller batting average than he usually carries around. Quite a time should be bad before the show is over, taking it one way and another, i tCopynihl, 1931) yer, particularly 've ri "hPrswith the team, be- ing.

Monopolizing the conversation on such matters as young Pepper Martin's remarkable hitting and base running for the Cardinals and that unique play in the ninth Inning Friday wherein Jimmy Wilson, the Cardinals' catcher, almost stampeded his entire team off the field, leaving three runners on base with nobody to deter them from walking in. Bill Slocum, one of the three official scorers, who made three decisions on the play, one of them twice and both of them wrong, is on this train, and he says the scorers are still willing to receive advice. They finally charged Wilson with an error but there is a strong body of ipinion which holds that Wilson, when he threw to third base instead of throwing to first to catch Moore for the final put-out did not err in the technical scoring sense. He had a fielder's choice, and the fact that Jimmy Foxx beat his throw to third raises another great legalistic baseball just a rolling kaffe klatsch, newspaper sport department and poker party, and nobody on board knows anything about the World Series beyond the events up to Friday afternoon in St. Louis.

All on board, with the exception of the crew and some telegraph agents who are hustling for business in a lively rivalry, have written or will write some time before the train docks in Philadelphia that the series now stands tied at one game apiece, that things now look brighter for the Cardinals and that Lefty Grove, with three full days' rest, probably will face the Cardinal again when the show recommences Monday, opposing Burleigh Grimes. The Athletics are bowling along ahead on their own special train and the Cardinals will' not begin to straighten out the mountain curves K. K. R. SI.
