The prospect was for a crowd of no more than 35,000 to 40,000, depending chiefly on a change from the cold and gloomy rainy weather of Tuesday, and the demand for the 12,000 un- reserved grandstand seats valued at $3.30 each, and 22,000 $1.10 bleacher resting places.

J., Sept. 28.—()}—Youth, speed and lots of vitality appeared to be the essentials of a winning base- ball club Wednesday as the Newark Bears and Minneapolis Millers laid plans for the second game of the little world series. Col. Jacob Ruppert’s Bears added together all of those qualities Tues- day in pounding the American Asso- ciation champions into submission to the tune of 11 to 0 and were ready to repeat their stunt in the game sched- uled Wednesday night under the lights at Ruppert stadium. The starting time is listed for 8:30 p. m, Being one up in a first four of sev- en game series was a comfortable Place for Manager Al Mamaux’s forces, yet the International League Pennant winners were just as eager ito increase their advantage by an- {other triumph Wednesday.

Harry Kipke’s Wolverines Face Tough Team in Michigan State Chicago, Sept. 28—)—Not in a long time has there been so much hustling at Michigan to get ready for an opening football game, as there is this year at Ann Arbor. ‘To make room for Northwestern on this year’s schedule, the Wolver- ines were forced to move their an- nual engagement with Mchigan State college up to the No. 1 position. The situation might not have been so tough a few years ago, but since Jimmy Crowley became head coach at East Lansing, the Spartans have been extremely tough, early and late in the season. Unless Coach Harry Kipke has his squad at about the same point that they had reached by the third game of the 1931 season, Michigan State will have a grand chance of scoring its first victory in years over the university. Kipke’s biggest problem so far has been a defensive one. Purdue and Northwestern also are doing some hurrying to prepare for tough opposition. Purdue must find men to replace Dutch Fehring, regu- lar tackle, and Doxie Moore, right halfback, out with injuries, to start against Kansas State Saturday. Northwestern's lineup is pretty well set, with two sophomores, Quarter- | back Al Kawal and Jerry Gottschalk, guard, the only non-lettermen, face Missouri. At Ohio State, Coach Sam Willa- man has just about decided on the makeup of the backfield to start against Ohio Wesleyan. Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota have been working on forward pass- ing, with the Illini and Badgers cori- centrating on defensive measures. Wisconsin expects a lot of passes from Marquette Saturday, and the Illini figures to see some football in the air when they meet Coe and Miami in a doubleheader. Coach Bernie Bierman has moved Francis (Pug) Lund into the passing job in the Minnesota backfield, to replace My Ubl, who has been handi- capped by illness and injuries. Ossie Solem, at Iowa, and Billy Hayes, at Indiana, are stressing offense in their drills for Drake and Ohio university, Tespectively. Offense continues to be the prime business at Chicago.

The games will be second round skirmishes in the annual struggle for the McLean county championship. The Max. Cossacks got away to a flying start in the quest for their third straight title by scoring a 20 to 0 vic- mtd ded the Garrison Troopers last week. Garrison's weakness in the center of the line and the line smashing of Captain Fritz Postovit of the Cossacks spelled defeat for the losers. Postovit was instrumental in scoring all Gar- rison’s points throwing two passes which resulted in touchdowns and Placing the ball in scoring distance for the third. Henke took @ pass on the goal line in the second stanza to give the cham- pions a 7 to 0 lead at the end of the first half.
