Coaches Drill Squad in Offensive Punch Between the 20-Yard Lines Want More Touch-downs, They Say to Men. Special to The Free Press. ANN ARBOR, Nov.

Clad in brilliant yellow jerseys whose tint Is of almost a screaming canary, Coach Tad Wleman's "Fighting Wolverines" toiled through the longest and hardest workout in two weeks to finish up preparations for sinking the Navy dreadnaught Saturday in the Baltimore Municipal stadium. The new jerseys caused quite a stir around Ferry field, for when the Wolverines discard their regulai blue outfits Saturday against "Navy's blue clad warriors It will be the first time a Michigan team has done so in many, many years. In fact, no one around here can remember any such previous occasion. It was rather a poor way to break in the new Jerseys as a drizzle fell during almost the entire three hours of practice. The dismal day ffected the Wolverine spirit not In the least, however, for they intend to be riding on the crest of a wave Saturday night.

Everybody here is cut to win and those screeching yellow Jerseys go to show how carefully the coaches arc guarding against any slips with the dangerous middles. Coach Wieman decided on the change last Friday when It became known that the U. 8. Naval authorities refused to depart from the traditional blue of the embryo admirals. The real feature of the day aside -aMaLH YOUNG BOXERS DISPLAY FORM from the yellow Jerseys was a hard effenslve scrimmage with the Wol- I verinea digging deep into the old bag of tricks and scoring plays One solid hour was spent on doing nothing except work on scoring in rAnlnn arA 1 NIC Avvmu iim lapnui Judging from appearances those fighting Wolverines are going in the game Saturday with the express purpose of sinking the Navy beneath an avalanche of touchdown- if such a thing be poMible.

Long and hard and effectively did the entire squad toil on making touchdowns against a picked group of frosh in a determined effort to bring out an attack which will net more than one scratch touchdown per game, which is the best that the Maize and Blue has been able to do this season.

7 Rogers Hornsby, the greatest right handed hitter in the majors and last season manager of the Boston Braves, now It a Cub In good standing. Five men who had entertained hopes of being Cubs for at least short time next spring now are enrolled under the Boston banner. And a large chunk of Chicago money, Identified only as the largest amount ever involved In a baseball deal, has already changed hands to relieve the stringency In the Boston club treasury. Gives Useless Talent. Final announcement of the transaction that had been rumored since mid-September was made here tonight by President William Veeck upon receipt of a telegram from Judge Emil Fuchs, the Braves' president.

The telegram conveyed only the information that he (Fuchti had agreed to accept an offei agn 4 on several weeks ago. Fuchs at that time requested a delay to as not to embarrass the Massachusetts Sunday baseball hill that appears to have passed in the Tuesday election. True to President Veeck's statement that the Cub team would not be wrecked by giving such men as Cliff Htathcotc or Charley Root, the north side club engineered thr swap with the loss of only one reg ular. That is Freddy Maguire, who could be spared because there will be no need for second basemen with Hornsby available for work there. The four other players involved are Percy Lee Jones, the veteran southpaw: Catcher Louis Leggett Pitcher Harry Seibold and Pitchd Bruce Cunningham.

Most Traded Star. Leggett was purchased a year ago from Atlanta and recalled last fall from the Cubs' farm at Reading, Pa. Selboid, a former Mack-man, was purchased from Reading, where he pitched in excess of 20 victories during the 1928 season. Cunningham is a promising right hander purchased from the Loa Angelea club, which la the third member of William Wrlgley's baseball triangle. Hornsby's transfer to the Cubs gives him the unique record of being the most traded star baseball ever has known.

In 1926 he managed the Cardinals to a pennant and world's series, but before another teaaon rolled around he was in a Oiant uniform. After the 192V season he was shipped to Boston for what was regarded a pittance in players, and In the middle of the 1928 race he was given the Continued on Tuge 22. BRUCE FLOWERS LOSES.

BRAZIL IDLE AGAIN Return of Old Finger Injury May Prevent Him Starting Against State. Because of the Injury hoodoo that has trailed the University of Detroit football squad for the past several weeks, Coach Dorals yesterday afternoon tried out a new backfleld combination with which he hopes to turn back the best efforts of Michigan State in case of i emergency on Dinan field Saturday 1 afternoon. His latest shift was to place Jay Maley, heretofore a quarterback, at fullback In place of Maloney. The Titan conches are hard pressed for fullbacks and In view of the injuries that have forced both Maloney and Zettel to the sidelines, the midget signal caller Is to be pressed Into service. In the earlier games this season Maley shared the signal calling position with I.es Vachon and did a commendable Job.

In his first i attempt at filling the fullback post yesterday Maley impressed the coaches and it would not be surprising to see him start the game against the Spartans. Won't Take Chances. Malfney has not been in uniform since the bruising struggle with St. Louis last Saturday and yesterday Zettel was unable to take part In the practice. This is the second time this season that both fullbacks have been incapacitated and Dorais does not care to take any chances with inexperienced players against Kipke's men.

Hence the switching of Maley. The new fullback's performances were the outstanding events of a lengthy defensive scrimmage yesterday against Michigan State formations. The entire squad was kept on the field until darkness made It Impossible to continue the workout. And most of the time was spent in a dummy scrimmage, with the freshmen and reserves employing the Spartan attack against the regulars All Tackling Avoided. The plays were allowed to proceed just far enough to eliminate tackling as the coaches do not want to run the risk of further Injury to any of the players on whom most of the burden must be placed Saturday.

The plight that the coaches are in Is best shown by the fact ihat while Maloney and Zettel, the two lino plunjjTs, were not In uniform Brazil also Joined them on the sidelines. The old Injury to Brazil's finger still bothers him and unless the wound responds to treatment rapidly in the next few days, there is a possibility that he may be of little service to the team against the opposition State is expected to offer. To Rest Players. With these three on the sidelines, the coaches have yet to have their regular squad on the field for any of the practice sessions. No hard work Is being attempted, but even in the face of this, the full strength has not been available.

From Dorals on down the coaches are of the opinion that what the squad needs more than anything else Is rest and the players will be given only the lightest kind of work until the call of the starting whistle Saturday afternoon.

SPARTANS SHOW PUNCH Trample Over Yearling Lineup and Score Several Timet During Clash. East Inslng, Nov. 7. -Figuratively crossing his fingers.

Coach Harry G. Kipke took a chance this afternoon and sent his Michigan State college squad through a gruelling, double barrelled scrimmage. Before he ordered the rough work, Kipke expressed the opinion that any further Injuries? would seriously handicap his team when it encounters University of Detroit Saturday. As matters turned out. the Spartans emerged from the practice without any new bumps and Kipke resolved to spend the rest of the week in rubbing down the rough spots.

Only Smead Is Spared. Smead. the maimed center, wan the only regular who did not see action Joe Crabill, reserve center, filled Smead's shoes on the varsity Kipke sent his first string candidates against a freshman team in an offensive drill on the yearlings' field while assistant coaches had charge of the reserves In another rough and tumble session. Continued Improvement shown by George Ferrari has virtually won the big tackle a right to start against the Titans. Kipke stuck to his previously announced backfleld of Nordberg, quarieroacK, scnau and Grove, halves, and Danziger, fullback.

The varsity did not seem to have any-great amount of trouble In tramping over the freshman, several touchdowns being marked up during the course of the drill. Drilled In New Plays. Kipke has trotted out a new batch of plays that have been especially designed for use against the Detroit eleven. Much time was spent In acquainting the player? with these new formations. Rain seriously Interferred with the practice twice.

When Kipke appeared on the field, he ordered the linemen into the field house where Coach Wilson put them through their paces for half an hour. Kipke kept the backfleld men out in the downpour to accustom them to handling forward passes and punts under adverse weather conditions. Finally, the linemen were trotted out and the scrimmage i party staged. When the rain increased. Kipke sent the entire var sity and freshman squads scampering to the field house for additional signal drills.

Squad Pleases Kipke. Kipke has been pleased over the way his squad Is preparing for the clash with the powerful Titans. The morale Is high throughout the ranks The addition of Schau to the backfleld at a halfback berth and the use of Danziger at fullback have given the team punch that has been lacking all season. The success of the plays against the yearlings and the way George Ferrari is plugging the right tackle hole are other reasons for rejoicing. A long signal drill under the flood lights probably will conclude 'he squad's work on the home field Thursday, as the entire camp moves to Detroit Friday morning.

OLYMPICS HOLD COUGARS TO TIE Cooper's Goal Late in Game Preventt Defeat. Carson Cooper's quick work late in the last period whan he took the puck on a rebound and drove it into the net past Porky Levlne, spare goalie, was all that saved the Detroit Cougars from being defeated by the Olympics, the Detroit Canadinn-Pro hockey team, in the first practice game of the year at Olympla yesterday.

Big Bill Tilden now finds himself not only an exile from the courts of his own land, but literally a man without a country as far as his right to play amateur tennis Is concerned. By order of the International Lawn Tennis federation the ban applied to the famous American star by the United State I Ten- nis association in August has been extended to its 34 other member nations and thus embraces the entire tennis playing world.
