With Chick McLennan definitely out of the Brown game with Injuries, Sandy Wiener, one time tennis protege of William T. Tilden, today seemed the most likely choice to replace McLennan in the Yale backfield Saturday. Wiener, a fine passer and a strong runner, worked out with the first team yesterday and showed up well. Crowds Throng Columbus on Eve of Battle to Witness Continuance of Rivalry Quarter Century Old Michigan Rates to Win. Coach Kipke Depends Upon His Passing Combination to Match the Buckeyes' Overhead Attack That Is Led by Fesler.

BY HARRY BH.MO.V. OLUMBUS, October, by tradition as fine and as enduring as anything In collegiate football the elevens of the University of Michigan and Ohio State clash in the here tomorrow afternoon. Weather predictions forecast conditions ideal for football and interest Is marked In the incoming crowds that congest the hotels or make traffic a problem. Since before the undergraduate bodies of today had the breath to squeak Wolverines and Buckeyes clashed on the gridiron, and the feeling of friendly rivalry has been beautifully sustained through the years. Ohio State's athletic department officials are anticipating a throng of 72,000 in the giant horseshoe when the Inaugural whistle blows on schedule.

More than 12.000 will nurse sentiments strictly for the Wolverines whose surprising upset of the Pur-duo Boilermakers, a week ago, lifted the Maize and Blue out of a pall into the sunlight. The Buckeyes lost to Northwestern In their initial conference game of the season, but they have dismissed thought of it, and with new hope that always is generated by the presence of Michigan in their midst, are ready for the ordeal that confronts them. Foyston Rejects Contract and Hay May Pilot Team This Season. OTHERS CONSIDERED Frank Nighbor or Odie Cleg-horn May Be Offered Managerial Reins. BY F.

J. CARVETH. N' EITHER C. A. Hughes, pres ident of the Detroit Hockey club, nor Jack AdamB.

manager of the National league entry, is greatly alarmed over the matter, but it is a fact that at this writing the Detroit Olympics are without a manager and are likely to have a new one before the team's starting front is known. Frank Foyston, who has piloted the Olympics for the past two seasons, has returned his contract unsigned and evidently does not intend to move east until his terms are met. Up until Thursday evening, the veteran was standing pat on his demands and the club was equally adamant. Perhaps tbc contract mailed to Foyston has not yet returned to the office of the Detroit club, but If it has not, it will be there In plenty of time for the club officials to reconsider terms or go about the business of appointing a new manager for the Olympics, and they will not be obliged to look far to find one. George Hay, a highly efficient and intelligent hockey player, has no ax to grind and he is available.

Home Is In Seattle. Foyston, who makes his home in Seattle, for the past few years has entertained Ideas of handling a club nearer home and the fact that ho has returned an unsigned contract to the Detroit club indicates that the veteran probably has something in view out in the northwest section of the country. There Is reason to believe that the club will not see fit to meet Foyston's salary' demands, In which case Hay would appear to be the obvious choice as his successor. Certainly Hay would be more valuable as a player than Foyston and he is popular with players and fan-dom alike. There were few better left wingers in the National league late last season than Hay, and certainly there was not a more finished skater and stick-handler; a better finisher around goal and he is the ideal play-maker.

Foyston, flub Remain Firm. Hughes talked with Foyston over long distance telephone Thursday night and Foyston still was holding out for another contract and was given until Friday night to either definitely accept or reject the contract tendered him by the club more than a week ago. There is no secret about hockey headquarters that the Detroit club Is grooming Hay for the job of piloting the Olympics but there is a possibility that he will not take over the reins this season whether or not the club reaches an agreement with Foyston. Roth Hughes and Adams, are skeptical about the advisability of losing Hays scrv ices with the Cougars, but or later, he will be at the helm Meanwhile, the clnh is considering making an offer to Frank "Dutch" Nighbor or Odle Cleghorn, either of whom should make something of the Olympics. Nighbor, master of the hook-check and one of the greatest hockey players in the history of the Ottawa club, still has many good games in his system and he has all the qualifications of a manager.

Cleghorn. after years of service in the National league, piloted the Pittsburgh Pirates two years ago. ENTER WINDSOR RUN Western and Adams avenue are among the Detroit branches to be reoresented in the annual 10-mlle 1 roaci race to De neiu in uniano. October 25, by Windsor Y. M.

Eddie Kane, for; nearly a quarter of a century a prominent figure iti the world of sports, died in a hospital here tonight after a five days' Illness with pneumonia. Although only 42 years old, he had packed Into his career a full quota of that reflected glory that comes to the men behind sport spectacles. Most of his managerial career was allied with the boxing arena, with Mike and Tommy Gibbons and Sammy Mandell, former lightweight champion, his most famous proteges. He broke with Mandell after the bout of last summer in which Al Singer won the title. Before invading the boxing game, Kane had managed Jake Schaeffer and Willie Hoppe, two of the most colorful and most successful exponents of professional billiards.

Popular In Sports World. Kane was one of the best known and popular figures in the professional sport world and he gained national notice several years ago when he matched Tom Gibbons to fight Jack Dempsey, in Shelby, for the world's heavyweight championship. Gibbons agreed to accept a percentage of the receipts but they were not sutlicient to pay the sum guaranteed the champion and Gibbons went 10 rounds with Dempsey for nothing. Kane's reply to criticism was characteristic of him. "We did not fail our friends," he said.

"Friendship means much more than money." The esteem which he was held by an witn wnom ne ever neau. was BRINGS DEFEAT TO MISS HICKS Young Star Has Hard Time Hitting Her Stride in Match With Glenna.

Utt, New York city, moved one step ntarer her objective a fifth women's national championship today with a smashing five and three victory over Helen Hicks, 19-year-old Inwood, N. star, in the semifinals of the national classic. Defender of her title and favorite of the crowd.

Miss Collett tomorrow will face Virginia Van Wie, Chicago miss, in the 3-hole final. Miss Van Wie fought her way to the last bracket with a 2-1 victory over Mrs. O. S. Hill, of Kansas City, tournament medalist.

Gives Par a Drubbing. While a gallery of nearly 2,000 persons thrilled to her long tee shots and well executed approaches, Miss Collett strode over the rolling feirways of this difficult layout to post 3S. one under par for the first nine. She finished with a swarm of birdies that had her four under standard figures when the match ended on the fifteenth. Miss Hicks, moijt brilliant of the younger luminaries) and concededly the longest driver of the women's ranks, found herself in the unusual position of taking second to Miss Collett in shots from the tee today.

outdriven by many yards most of the time, the Inwood girl was con- tinually pressing she played more second shots out of the rough than is usually the rase. ftf the first nine. From the first hole to the last. Miss Collett was iupcrlor. She won first two holes with pars, four and live respectively, and was never threatened.

She won the third v1 I M.SS COLHTT but lost the next hole to a par four. Again Becomes Three lp. The next three holes were halved in pars and Miss Collett made it three up again with a birdie five on the eighth. Miss Hicks won the mnth with a par three, to cut her rival's lead to two up at the turn, and her birdie four took the tenth to make the count one up for the defending champion. After that it was Miss Collett's show.

She won the eleventh with a birdie 3, captured the twelfth with a par 4 and after halving the next hole In par 5, won the fourteenth and fifteenth with birdies 5 and 2 to clinch the match. Her finish on the 140-yard fifteenth was a drive seven feet past the pin and she holed the putt, Miss Hicks meanwhile sending her tee shot Into a trap but recovering nicely fc a six-foot putt and a pir 3.

17. (A.P.) The trails of two of the potential national football championship elevens drew closer to a cross-road tonight as the Skibos of Carnegie Tech and the Ramblers of Notre Dame finished preparations, physical and psychological, for the important encounter tomorrow. No two baseball managers on the eve of a world series contest ever figured and maneuvered more strenuously in efforts to outsmart each other on pitching selections, than Knute Rockne and Walter Steffen were doing tonight over their starting lineups. Rockne was planning to start his regulars, if Steffen starts Carnegie Tech's first string. But if Steffen uses his first string line and second backfield, at the start, Rockne.

wants to do the same thing. The problem was Steffen's as well as Rockne's. Rock Dons Vnlform. Rockne, disregarding his doctor's orders, went on to the practice field In uniform today and participated in a dummy scrimmage against Sklbo lateral and forward passes in a last minute effort to add a little to the knowledge his men already possess. He worked long with Jumping Joe Savoldl, who will see plenty of service at fullback, polishing up the wandering Italian's defense against passes.

Savoldl will be in there plenty, as it was revealed today that Larry Mullins, regular fullback, is definitely out of action with his trick knee. The Carnegie Bquad took a brisk workout under Coach Steffen's eye, at Elkhart. where it will remain overnight, moving on South Bend at noon tomorrow.

JUMP INTO EARLY LEAD Mountaineer Unable to Make Much Progress Against Detroit Line.

1Y W. V. EDGAR. WEST VIRGINIA sent a rugged band of Mountaineers to University of Detroit stadium Friday night hopeful of squaring accounts with tiie Titans for an astonishing defeat absorbed last year, but when the final gun rent the crisp autumn air they were forced to admit another smashing defeat. The largest crowd that has jammed Its way in the concrete stands in three years looked down on the greensward and witnessed hard-running attack of the Titans turn aside this staunch foot-bail machine that annually is ranked with the best in the east and rise to new heights on the crest of a well earned 23 to 0 victory.

But the sus-pense was shortlived. Little Kocky Par-saca turned the trend of battle midway in the opening period with a field goal from the 2 3-yard line and gave tne Titans the impetus need-id to march on to a success that will stamp them as a team equal in tank to any that has been moulded during the regime of I'nMi-h Dorais.

This spirit is manifested in the songs of Ohio that float out on'thc chill October air and the display of abundant bunting in the colors of the rival schools on merchants' store fronts, other business places of all description, fraternity houses and university buildings. Tomorrow ere nightfall these same merry makers might be plunged in gloom that is synonomous with defeat, but no thought is given to that now.

Were comparative scores reliable in measuring the relative strength of the Maize and Blue and Scarlet and Gray warriors Michi gan would figure to be favorite to to win. Ohio's defeat at the hands of Northwestern, 19 to 2, and Michigan's triumph over Purdue, It to 13, indicate the superior power of the Wolverines. But nobody is going to be surprised if the Ohio State machine, on sight of its ancient and honor KIPKE, able foe, scaled the heights to victory. "Beat Ohio," Their Slogan. The same applies to the Wolverines, who can be pursuaded to consider any season a success if they beat Ohio.

There is some hesitancy In predicting victory over the Buckeyes out of respect for the feeling that, though the Maize and Blue wouldn't accept defeat when it was staring them In the face in the Purdue game and nothing would he taken for granted, there la no tangible proof that favorable breaks didn't favor them.

State's defensive ability, proven of a high order when it held Michigan rcoreless earlier in the season, will be called upon for another trying stand. Leading the Colgate assault will be Captain Tes Hart, a halfback, who has already gained mention f'r all-eastern honors, and Leonard Macaluso, giant fullback.

17. At least one reason why I like Mr. Will Roper, the Princeton football coach, is that he lets fly so many arguments which I find it easy to make gay with and refute on midweek days when it is still 24 hours too early to tell of the miraculous convalescence of those athletes who were to have been out of the ensuing Saturday's big game, due to major Injuries, but who somehow will be able to struggle on to the field, after all. Mr. Roper recently denounced nocturnal football as a hippodrome, giving me occasion to point out that not only life and government but even death is pretty much a hippodrome.

Now Mr. Roper predicts that inter-collegiate football will die an unpleasant, lingering death because. i lha nk, are accorded or suhiected to a BY WESTBROOK PF.GLF.R. Mr. Roper is one.
