Ruffing, the speed- bail right-hander, will be the Yankees' choice to oppose Guy Bush, the thirty-year-old Mississipplan, in the opening game. Gomez is slated to pitch the second game against Charley Root. if the Blender southpaw does not look right, it will be either Brown or Johnny Allen, star young righthander. The Cubs' freshman star, Lonnie Warneke, Is due to twirl the third game, Saturday, at Wrig-ley Field. Ruth still Is weak from the ef fects of an attack of appendicitis.

There seems no doubt the famous slugger will start his tenth World Series, thereby launching a fresh attack upon the record books, but it is also likely he will be saved at every opportunity. Sammy Byrd will be the No. 1 outfield relief man. Mark Koenlg, Cubs shortstop, and TonyLaerl, Yankee second baseman, both of whom have been ailing, will occupy their regular positions from the outset, according to latest reports from headquarters. The Yankee choice for shortstop is the youthful Frankle Cro- setti, who is just finishing his first year in the majors and has never even seen a World Series game be fore.

Amos Alonzo Stage' forty-first quad of Chicago Maroons today save him a point for every year of his service on the Midway, as they opened their season with a 41 to 0 victory over juonmoutn uoiieee.

The greatly outweighed Scots made the Maroons battle for every thing, but after one brief drive in the first period, sagged and played defensive football the rest of the afternoon. The Maroons handled Stagg's new shift in good style and demonstrated to the crowd of 18,000 spectators, that. Just as suspected, they are stronger than any Chicago team in several years. The score was the largest amassed by a Chicago team since 1928 when Wyoming was defeated, 47 to 0. Monmouth carried the ball 62 yards on passes and end runs at the start of the opening period, but was halted on downs on the eight-yard line.

After one false Btart, the Ma- Toons finally got started and a 29- yard march resulted in a touchdown "by Vince Sahlin. A few minutes later, Chicago recovered a fumble and on the next play, Pete Zimmer squirmed through left tackle and raced 33 yards for the second score. Pat Page, placekicked for both extra points. Early in the third period Zimmer grabbed one of Bobby Woll's punts and ran through the whole Monmouth team for the third score. Birney added the point A pass by Birney to Cullen put the ball on the four-yard line near the end of the session, and Page bucked it over and added the point Allen Summers finished a 26-yard drive with a nine-yard Jaunt early in the final period, and a pass, Summers to Page, ended another with a score.

The Maroons made 18 first downs to six by the Scots, whose individual star was Woll, a 133-pound quarterback, who passed, ran and kicked along with directing his team. MOXMOCTH- CHlCAlJO Bell.trom lork M'DraltU L. Kpp Hamilton r-arannt ''mr, Mancikls JVessley H.T. J. Spearing Wlnslgler R.

During the week Coach Altenburg laid considerable stress on the passing game. Kiffoer. Hosklns and Hulbert have taken turns on the throwing end.

John Mumford, one of the best centers in the City Jhile at Highland Park High School, la on the squad. He may be shifted to guard, as Coach Altenburg already has two good centers in Ralph Johnson and Gerald Howell. During the scrimmage drills last eek the tentative varsity was composed of Johnson, center; Evans and Mumford, guards; Freeman and Wunsch, tackles; Ford and McLean, ends, with "Gabby" Mantz at quarterback; Bedogne Hoskins at the halves and Ash Hulbert fullback.

ANJf ARBOR, Sept 24 When Michigan's 1932 football team opens Its season here Saturday afternoon with Jim Crowley's Michigan State outfit (he Spartans wiil have several advantages which probably will prove difficult for Coach Kipke's men to overcome. Cept Ivan Williamson, the Wolverine leader and star end.

Is almost certain to watch the game from the bench. The Spartans will present their dependable co-captains, Abe Eliowitz and Bob Monnett fullback and halfback respectively, both very rugged and determined to play the game of their young lives in the Stadium Saturday. That's the first advantage in favor of the Spartans. Williamson may be in good enough physical condition to start against the State team. But It would not be good football to do so.

Crowley and his men are good sportsmen. But no one could accuse them of violating the football code if thev smashed three pile-driving power plays in the general direction of Capt Williamson at tne start of the game. And that expected to happen if Williamson starts. Its football. Serious in juries have not appeared on the State roster.

Another advantage. Michigan Must Look Ahead A week from Saturday Michigan meets the Northwestern Wildcats here. Football coaches may say that they take their ball carries as they come. But Kipke must save sometmng lor that all-Important clash. He must save Williamson.

His players know it. The osveho- logtcal advantage here Is In favor of the state team. Jim boys meet Grinnell College, of Iowa, next week. There is not a tough game on their schedule until Oct 22, when they meet Fordham in New Tork. Harry Kipke and his "coaching staff have tried valiantly to do all their experimenting before the season starts.

They are not through yet. The latest experiment is to haul Ted Petoskey from his end position and place him at fullback. Critics hailed the move as reminiscent of the smart change of a season ago when mighty Bill Hewitt was shifted from a flank to fullback with the result that Michigan awoke to its full power. Hewitt smashed the Illinois line to pieces In his first appearance as fullback. Ted Petoskey is a good end.

One of the best in the Big Ten. On end around plays he has demonstrated that he can carry the ball well. But Ted has not shown that he has Hewitt's defensive fullback ability. It's an experiment that may taka from the Michigan line much defensive strength and offensive Are. Bill Hewitt tore the Illinois line asunder with bucks, slants and fakes.

But the Illinois line that Hewitt faced a year ago Is a weak sister compared to the forward wall State may present against Ted Petoskey Saturday. Crowley was sure of his line-up two weeks ago. He has had it working as a unit regularly. There ot ucrn nine experimenting. Ana he checked it thoroughly against Alma College, Ward May Start Game With the probability that Williamson will be out of the line-up State Is expected to launch a flank attack.

If Petoskey Is shifted ta the fullback position it will leave Roderick Cox and Willis Ward in charge of Michigan ends. Regardless of which ends start they are due for a busy afternoon with State's effective wing offense. When two teams are matched evenly In power the team with the best kicker will win, says a football axiom. Abe Eliowitz la an exceptional kicker. He will hold his own against Michigan's best-Herman Everhardus and John Regeczi.

Jerry Jones. State quarter, also may be pressed into punting service. WESTERNSTATE WINS FROM HOPE Use Straight Football in 31-6 Victory KALAMAZOO, Sept. 24 Western State Teachers College football team defeated Hope College 31 to 8. here today.

It was the first time in Hope's football history that the Dutch have scored on Western State. Western State played straight football for the major portion of the game, scoring four of its touchdowns by this method and the fifth on a 23-yard forward pass, Nameth to Balmer. in the final quarter. Bilski, Western's veteran fullback, smashed through for three of Western's touchdowns in the first, second and final quarters, and Koets, reserve fullback scored one in the second.

BEATEN BY KENTUCKY Kercheval Is Star in 23 to 0 Victory LEXINGTON, Ky Sept. 24 (A. Combining a versatile running attack with Ralph Kercheval's superb kicking, the University of Kentucky Wildcats opened a nine-game Southern Conference scheduled this afternoon with a 23 to 0 victory over the Virginia Military Institute Cadets. A 25-yard dash by Darrell Darby, halfback, to the two-yard line led to Kentucky's first touchdown midway of the opening quarter. Kercheval made the tally and booted the extra point from placement The second quarter was scoreless, but in the third period Kercheval dropped back to the 14-yard line and neatly booted the ball through the uprights for a field goal.

In the fourth quarter, Pug Bach, junior halfback, scooped up a bouncing V. M. I. punt and raced 5T yards through the entire visitors' team to a touchdown. Kercheval's.

place kick failed to add the extra point this time. A moment later his punt was fumbled by V. M. I. on her nine-yard line and was recovered by Skinner, Kentucky tackle and alternate captain.

On two plays, Kercheval bucked the ball over for a touchdown and his place kick made the score 23 to 0. KENTUCKY V. Sf. I. Parrlth L.

Each Is fast and shifty and McCracken has had the experience of several games last year. Nott is a newcomer, a product of Ann Arbor High School and the leading star of last year's freshmen team. Nott is considered the best passer and punter on the squad. While he has not had any varsity experience, Coach Dorais, who seldom overpraises a player, considers him the equal of Brazil at the same stage in their careers. Nott Is being looked to for big things.

But it is his passing that is bound to make him a handy man in the backfield. Team Remembers Do Paul This year's team is capable of unleashing any sort of an attack. In Nott and McCracken it has two shifty open field runners and each is fast Both can pass, while Tura-Bhoff and Pete Rajkovich are powerful plungers. Bill Rajkovich also is rugged, and can take his turn at opening up holes In the line. He also Is adept at snagging passes.

All told, the squad is equipped for anything. Its line la strong defensively and powerful enough to make a battle of it with any forward wall it meets on offense. The backs are versatile and followers of the team are looking forward with bright hopes for a good sea son. The players have come through the long training grind in good condition. But more important than their physical condition is the fact that they are primed mentally for tne opening game, it will be re called that the Titans dropped their first start last season, losing to De Paul, a team considered little more than a practice opponent.

The de feat was costly, but It had its bene fits. It will be a hard charging combination that Coach Dorais sends out under the floodlights Fri day night to meet the Hurons. Michigan Normal is not being taken lightly. But memories of the De Paul debacle of a year aeo will haunt the Titans and make rf them a team that should be hard to beat HURON ELEVEN TIES DEARBORN Ypsi Normal Squad Is Impressive YPSILANTI, Sept. 24 Twelve days of long drills on the fundamentals of football were well rewarded this morning when the Michigan Normal Hurons held the powerful Dearborn Tigers to a 0-0 score in their first real scrimmage of the season.

The morning's melee could hardly be termed a scrimmage. Four regulation quarters were played, and the workout bore every aspect of a regular game, even to the large crowd of spectators that witnessed the struggle, and the three officials who handled the affair. The game presented little in the line of spectacular play, for the fans. Seldom did backs from either team rip off more than the eight or nine yards at a try. The game as a whole was extremely closely contested.

On one or two occasions the Tigers threatened inside the 10-yard line, but always they were held by a green, Inexperienced, but willing Huron forward. Coach Rynearson used practically every man in uniform, starting what appears his first choice for the U. of D. game Friday night In the line, only three lettermen were used, the remainder, for the most part, being well taken care of by big sophomores who have battled for the honor of the jobs they have clinched temporarily. The veterans, Ashley, Kazlusky and Bowman held down their positions well, and showed form that brands them as almost immovable from their respective berths.

Stine, Rovinski, Rockwell and Miller filled in the open positions, time and again throwing the experienced Tiger backs for losses, and stopping them at the line for no gain. The Huron backfield saw the return of Capt. Carl Simmons, who has been listed among the injured for a week. Benny Bugajewski's was the only veteran face missing. He is still hobbling around with an Ingrown toenail.

The managerial situation for the New York Yankees-Chicago Cubs World Series is unique in baseball history. Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees, was for five years the leader of the Chicago Cubs. He knows the strength and weaknesses of the majority of the opposition's players almost as well as he knows those of his own team. Charlie Grimm, playing manager of the Cubs, was elevated to his present role less than two months ago. From 1928 through 1930 he was field captain under the manager he now opposes in the World Series.

Battle Between Friends GrimiH is the first manager to take over a team in August and pilot it to a pennant and McCarthy is the first manager to win pennants in both major leagues. This would be a better story if President William Veeck hadn't fired Rogers Hornsby as manager of the Cubs on the night of Aug. 2 in Philadelphia. If Hornsby had held his job and piloted the Cubs to the pennant the World Series would bring together two bitter enemies at the helm of the contending teams. But then if Veeck SPARTANS SWAMP ALMA TEAM, 93-0 Continued From first Sport Page nett was out In the clear with only Kahn, Alma quarterback, in front of him, when Vandemeer came in at an angle and took Kahn out of the play with a full body block.

The third of this brilliant series of touchdowns was scored by Frank Butler, Spartan center. He dropped out of the line when Alma passed but Butler intercepted it and ran 35 yards for a touchdown. It was the first time a Spartan center had scored a touchdown in the memory of Ralph Young, State athletic director. Abe Eliowitz appeared to be the fastest man on the squad, although not as shifty as Monnett The latter will be one ot the most dangerous men in this section on cutback plays. Buss, Brunnetto Star The State line was across the line of scrimmage on virtually all defensive plays.

Art Buss and Ralph Brunnette, State's great pair of tackles were the outstanding players. Todays game did not call for strategy on Quarterback Jones part. Twice during the game he violated one of footballs fundamentals when he elected to hit the center of the line when within a few yards of the goal line. Only once did the dead ball rule crop up in the game and then most spectactors overlooked it. Late in the third quarter Monnett heaved a 15-yard pass to Eliowitz.

He went high to get the ball, and was hit by two Alma tackier. He stumbled and fell clear of the Scot secondary but could have continued easily for a touchdown. There will be a meeting Monday night of the Michigan squad. Jack Blott will tell the boys that State has a powerful, experienced line, and that Monnett and Eliowlts are two of the hardest running backs they will meet this year. They will assert that Michigan will have to be at its best to stop the team that scored 14 touchdowns against Alma today.

Tolntt after loueh-downt. all place klrkt Monaftl hadn't dismissed Hornsby, there might not have been any World Series in Chicago.

Instead of a grudge battle between McCarthy and Hornsby, the managerial rivalry Is between two steadfast friends. Under McCarthy's regime at Chicago, Grimm was one of his most loyal players. Anxious to Atone for '28 Because of his bitter disappointment in the 1929 World Series, McCarthy is doubly anxious to pilot the Yankees to the world cham pionship. It was the tragic col lapse of the Cubs in that series against the Athletics which eventually led to McCarthy's dismissal by the late William Wrigley, Jr. McCarthy has proved himself a great manager during his seven years in the majors.

He took the Cubs over in 1926 after they had finished last the previous season, and piloted them to fourth place. He laid the groundwork for the present team. He has never had a team finish out of first division. OTeary Knows Yankees McCarthy's greatest talent perhaps is as a developer of pitchers. He brought out Bush, Root and Malone when he was with the Cubs.

In his two years in the Yankees he has converted Gomez and Allen into two of the finest young pitchers in the game. If McCarthy knows all about the Cubs, Grimm was a right-hand man wno Knows all about the Yankees. He is Charlie O'Leary, nine years a Yankee coach, who moved to the Cubs when McCarthy went to the Yankees. He knows where to pitch to Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri and Dickey, and where not to pitch to 'em. Grimm's remarkable success In his brief managerial experience ta largely the result of his popularity with his players.

When he suc ceeded Hornsby, he merely went about his duties as if he were still Meld captain. He probably has had more success with less effort than any manager who ever bandied a championship, team. CUBS BEAT REDS WITH SCRUB NINE Subs Clinch Game as Regulars Fail CHICAGO, Sept 24-(A.

2. The opening day will feature three lCMap sprints and "a 40-lap feature event for the place winners of the shorter races. Many leading drivers of Middle West are expected to compete. Titans can be counted upon as the equal of any team they will be called upon to meet. The remain ing positions are tilled witn talent that is tried.

For instance, Reis- terer and Sharkey on the ends saw considerable service a year ago. Beer and Metras have been regular tackles for two years. They are rated with the best tackle combina tions ever developed by Coach Dorais. McNamara and Koenig also have seen considerable service at the guard posts, and with Wrathell at center, the line actually can be called a veteran wall. Trio of Fullbacks It is in the backfield where the new prospects are holding forth.

But the material Is there for a good combination. Coach Dorais will have a choice of three fullbacks in Pete Rajkovich, Turashoff and Ryan, with the former most likely to get the starting call. For the halfback positions there are Earl McCracken, Johnny Tooker, Chris BILL RAJKOVICH By W. W. EDGAR University of Detroit will usher in its football season next Friday night with a team considered one of the best that nas oeen weiaea together on the Titan campus in several years.

When the Titans line up to en gage their first opponent Michigan Normal, many of tne Btars or tne past two years will be missing. Johnny Hackett Rocky Parsaca, Bill O'Neill, Joe Welse ana Lcouie Berg are names that are just memories now to Titan followers. But in their places have come a crop of comparative newcomers to provide Coach Dorals with the balance he needs to round out a winning combination. The new man learn is one uiai boasts considerable experience despite the loss of many key men who served so well a year ago. At onlv two positions is there any doubt regarding the ability of the players.

Harvey wratneii, ai center, and Bill Rajkovich, at quarterback, still have to prove their right to be listed as the best of the talent available. But the fact that Coach Dorais has about settled on them for starting roles Is proot enougn that they are potential stars. Veterans Relied On Wrathell played several games at the pivot post last season. Converted from an end, he knows line play and that should be an assot. His lone weakness is passing, and as "Bud" Boeringer remarked, "That'll come to him when he knows the fellow on the other side of the line can't tumble him over." Wrathell is being counted upon to play a leading role on both offense and defense.

Bill Rajkovich's case Is different. He has had little experience at the signal-calling post. But during spring practice and again In the scrimmages held since the start of fall practice he has shown ability that caused Coach Dorais to say, "It looks as though the quarterback troubles will be In the hands of the best prospect we have had in years." The strength of the Titan eleven rests on the showing of these two fellows. If they come through. Ui.
