favored despite opponents weight advantage ; han searl chosen game captain for tomorrow's battle tomorrow the second u b opponent from the ohio college belt defiance college comes to town after a week's layoff while the bulls were tripping the powerful kent staters the gridders down at defiance were polishing up their double wing backs and other formations simi lar to those unsuccessfully employ ed by kent the sample of razzle dazzle given last saturday how ever is an assurance that the game will be a fast-moving thriller coach peelle will follow his usu al policy of not breaking up a win ning combination and start the same team that bagged the third buffalo victory this combination will give the defiance forces a de cided weight advantage on the line prom end to end the bulls will con cede about beven pounds per man to the yellowjacket line which bcales close to 200 the backfield starters will be quite closely matched with but a few pounds difference . starting at right half will be han searl who has been choaen game captain as a result of his stellar performances thus far this season last year the blue and white's triple threat back waß con siderably hampered by bad knees this season everything looked fine for him but he received a leg in jury early ln the year and again has not been up to par saturday against kent state however he practically limped out on the held and in all the snow and rain put on an exhibition of punting which kept the ohio team at bay all af ternoon last year the defiance game was not much of a contest but the ohioans have come back with a much stronger combi.iation than the one which took a 26-6 shel lacking defiance useß the warner sys tem of double wingbacks from which originates the fast and tricky style of play that is a con tinual scoring threat to their op ponent to oppose this style coach peelle will continue the double shift which with additions should be as effective against defiance as it proved against kent at the game tomorrow the band will show their new sweaters and practice up tor the hobart trip with any improvement in the weather at all there should be a much larger crowd at this game than that small band

the alumni cam paign which is attempting to raise 50,000 next week from nov 1-5 to build themselves into the university by placing a swimming pool in the irwin b clark memorial gymnasium now under construction on the campus the university has added 170,768 from its own slender resources to the original 300,000 gift of mrs evleyn howes clark but the sum is still insufficient to cover the cost of an adequate swimming pool rather than build a stinted swimming tank which is all that could be purchased in its present financial condition the university had decided to wait until some generouß donor should make it another gift that donor has turned out to be its alumni who now wish to show appre ciation to their alma mater the sponsors of the project emphasise the fact that the campaign is to be
