By Staff Correspondent. Ann Arbor, Oct. 1. University of Michigan took off on its" 1927 football' flight here this afternoon. Lindbergh made good and so did Michigan.

Before 40,000 persons the Wolverines spanked Ohio Wes- leyan 33-0 to mark the opening of the new stadium. This attendance was the largest ever recorded in an opening game Ann Aroor, out smaller than expected. Rains of Saturday kept down the numbers. i it -r if VVW '1 iajiAkJiallXatWMHfjr MM i ji i iii A J' It. si hV A 'r.

-(, The north section was wide open, Vacant seats appeared here and there. I.ven in the watery footing caused by heavy rains during the week Michigan i)acks ran and passed their way through a defense that was always trying to accomplish something even if its efforts at times were puny and. the majority ineffectual where checking the forward pass was concerned. Water flew In showers underfoot as th players ran, and several who went to the ground in efforts to top themselves, slid along on their bodies for several yards. Those who tried to stop while on tholr feet also skidded with all the verve of a tar skater crossing the finish line.

New Rules Do Not Bother. Th. new rules were not much In vldence. Save for the soul posts being moved bank in yards from the end llnea, the game looked the same. The much mooted lateral pass was absent.

Michigan had several aurh plays in store, but kept them for other games. Hut with ths goat posts set back, Gilbert connected three times and missed two. One try was blocked. The second was an ordinary miss that would not have been registered even with tie goal posts in their former positions. Michigan's running attack lacked the sustained power to bring cores, but It combined well enough with the forward pass to produce ths desired results.

Michigan believed In getting touchdowns rather than worry over the fact that running plays sometime failed to bring the desired yardage. Hence those coming from three passe and two runs from passes by OUbert were i as welcome as cut In the pries of coal to a householder. Taylor Scores First. Poor footing did not stop Louis Gilbert from performing that rare feat In football, touchdown from the kickoff. In the third period he caught the opening Ohio Wesleyan kick on his own 15-ynrd line and raced down the west sideline for 85 yards.

Gilbert was tackled Just at the corner of the tteld and two yards from goal, but his momentum carried him across. Jj. H. Taylor had the honor of making the first touchdown In the new stadium In the first quarter, sfter Babcock had registered the first long run, one around right end for 42 yards. Taylor took forward pass from Gilbert for a gain of 28 yards and the score.

Fumble Cost Ohio Score. Michigan scored In every period but th fourth. Ohio Wesleyan of- fared a stouter resistance in the second half than in the first and a fumbls cut Michigan's career short In the third period, when the Wolverines had a first down on the Wesleyan 11-yard line. Ohio Wesleyan had one chance to count and a fumble wrecked it. Thomas of Wesleyan had kicked out of bounds on Michigan's 10-yard line in the first period.

On the next play, Wesieyan's forwards, led by Krank Abbey, right tarkle, hurried Gilbert's punt and it travelled only to the 22-yard line. Francis Thomas of Wesleyan was almost away for a score, but was thrown nine yards distant from the goal stripe. Thomas let go of the ball on the first play and Uaer recovered for Michigan. It was Wesieyan's sole penetration Into scoring territory. Thereafter the Battling Bishops were restricted largely to their own soil.

They compiled only four first downs, cms coming largely as the result of a penalty for offside on Michigan and the other from a forward pass in the fourth nuarter that brought 22 yards. In contrast Michigan had 16. Gilbert's Runs Count. 8am Babcock, halfback: Ray Baer, left tackle, and Captain Benny Oosterbaan, end, In company with Loifls Gilbert, contributed plays that ths boxing promoter would term crowd pleasers. Gilbert contributed a dash of 21 yards, after receiving a punt that came from behind Ohio Wesieyan's goal mark In the second period, and scored a touchdown with his trip of 8I yards, for Michigan's fifth and final count In the third.

Teammates did their share of fending off tacklers for Gilbert to give him the start he needed. On his 23-yard run, Gilbert was tackled four times but broke away. He dodged or sidestepped the remaining threats. Blocking that carried Gilbert to the center of the field Rlmojt unmolested provided him with the opening for his touchdown from kickoff. Once past the mldwav mark, Gilbert tricked some tacklers with a change of pace, twisted from others Continued en rag.

22. a ft Titans More Than Hold Own Following Bad First Period. STRATEGY IS COSTLY Early Use of Reserves Fatal to Detroit as Army Blocks Regulars' Plays. BY W. W.

EDGAR. West Point, N. Oct. 1 On. long forward pass, th.

only on. completed by th. Cadets during four period, of th. hardest kind of football, n.tted Army It fourth sue cesslve victory over the Cnlverslty of Detroit team her. this afternoon.

to 0. The pass cam. early In th. first quarter, when Cagle, a veteran on tbe plains, caught the Titan Una out of position and tossed th. leather to Born over the goal line.

This was the bnly scor. of a game, that, all things considered, was the best ever played by th. Titans up her. on th. plains.

Tltana Ar. Strong. Every year the Detroit squad has coip. here, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the soldiers would offer too much In th. way of attack.

This afternoon, though, things were different. Th. Titans fought thrust for thrust, and save for a few minutes In th. final period, held th. Army on ven terms.

In dufeat, the University of Detroit has some solace because of th. fact that It was against the second team that Army mada Its only score. However, this was a time when strategy proved a boomerang. Because of the extreme heat, Dorals started his reserves, hoping that th. Army regulars would wear them-selves out.

It then was th. scheme to rush (he regulars In against th. Cadets' shock troops. This plan failed, though, whon the Cadet, scored their touchdown In th. aarly minutes of the game.

that stage of the contest on. touchdown did not seem sufficient to win the game, but as th. minutes psased by Its possibilities became larger and the Titan regulars never were abl. to clos. th.

gap. Tltana Chance. Spoiled. Thrc. times the I'nlverslty of Detroit eleven was within striking distance of the goal, and in each Instance something went wrong and the chance was lost.

Early In th. second period the first chance came. A lateral pass wss attempted, and th. play. Intended to use only In an emergency, went wrong when the ball got away from Janosky.

Throughout the second half th. Titans gave the Army as much as It received, but every time the goal posts hov. Into sight a pass failed. On one of these plays IroodnoW stood behind the Army goal line and the ba)l grazed his finger tips. Th.

third attempt was frustrated near the zn-yard Una when "Light Horse Harry" Wilson leaped Into the air and managed tn tk. the ball out of Toung's arms. rienind the first scoring chanc. lies a Story that almost served to square accounts for th. Army touchdown.

Back deep In their own territory, the Cadets attempted a forward pass and Seeman, a guard, snatched It. long Provides Thrill. Tteallilng he was an Insllglbl recelv.r, he dropped th. batC Quick as a flash, Harvey Long, Titan tackle, scooped up the ball and started goalward. He was called back, but th.

play stand out a. th. most alert move of the game. It gav. Detroit th.

ball In scoring position and was the occasion for th. Army coach to send out an B03 for hi. main support. On. line plunge after another, wilh Maloney and Connell doing most of the damage, took the bail to th.

Army 10-yard line. Thre. times an attempt was made to gain by the use of a "spinner" play thst proved a ground gainer In mldtteld. In each Instance Army stopped IU Then cam. a break that proved disastrous for the Titans.

Vachnn called foit a lateral pass. Jannwsky took the ball, but because of perspiration, let It slip as th. Armv ends closed on him. The rhan.e was lost, but It occasioned one of th. smartest pieces of football of tha afternoon.

Img had created th. opening, but hi. mate, failed to cash in on it. Soldiers Arc Outplayed. This contest was supposed furnish the real test for the inexperienced Titan team, especially the line.

The result left no doubt as to th. ability of th. forward wall. It outplayed the heavier soldiers, save for a few minutes in the final period when heat hsd exacted Its toll and both line, weak. Here th.

Army sent in a fresh back Acid and it ripped th. Cnatlaaed sa rag. 13. Major League Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE. T.

Players Nearly Exhausted, Too Tired to Celebrate Fight Barely Averted. Cincinnati, Oct 1.

(A.P.) In riotous climax to one of the closest and most sensational races In Na tional league history, the Pittsburgh Pirates fought their way to a victory over Cincinnati and clinched the 1927 pennant John Miljus, World war veteran and pitching star, shared with. Captain "Pie" Traynor, the princi pal honors of a victory that was gained only after the hardest sort of a battle: a hectic fray that threatened to bring the highly keyed athletes Into actual combat In the ninth inning when Grantham slid home and knocked the Keds' catcher, Plcinich, head over heels. Trouble Is Averted. But trouble was averted and the Pirates swept up to victory In gnmo that was saved by the relief hurlirg of Minus, after two Pi rate aces, Kremer and Hill, had been knocked out of the box, and decided by Traynor's single In the sixth inning with the bases full and two out, a blow that brought over what proved to be the deciding tally. The victory over a Cincinnati team that battled every Inch of the way In spite of "breaks" against It removed the last mathematical uncertainty In the pennant on next to the last day of the season.

It in creased the lead of the Pirates over the second place St. Louis club to two and a half games. The Hue's have a single game with the Reds tomorrow wnne tne nrntnnii nave double-header scheduled with Chicago, hut the result can have no bearing on the outcome of the race, except to determine tlx final mar gin of the Pirates. "Tougkrst Game," Kara Bh Today's hard earned victorv re lieved the strain under which -the Pirates have made their final dash but It did not send them Into anv special ecstacles. They had been through what Manager Donle Bush, perspiring and almost exhausted described as the "toughest" In his memory, ana the nervous tension was too high to arouse much of an outburst in the club house.

They were tired hut a happv lot. They congratulated their pilot, Bush victor in his first yesr at the helm the club but diminutive Donie turned the compliment back by describing his men as ths "gamest crew" he ever handled, "They csn't say we didn't stand the gaff," said Donle. "We were up against it at least three times this season In the toughest race I ever have experienced. We were hard hit by Injuries and Illness. But the boys came through every time the pinch and you've got to give them all the credit.

It's the greatest team 1 ever knew." Second Flag In Three Year. The Pirate victory was the second pennant triumph for them in three years and the sixth time Pittsburgh has scaled the top since 1901. To prepare for ths start of the world's championship battle with the powerful New York Yankees. starting next Wednesday In Pittsburgh, all of the Pirate regulars except young Lloyd Waner will take tomorrow off and go hack to Pittsburgh for a rest. Aldrldfre, Hill and Kremer, of the pitching staff, catcher Karl Smith, the entire regular Infield, besides Bsrnhart and Paul Waner of the outfield, were ordered by Bush to lay off until reporting for world's scries practice Monday at Forbes field.

The Corsair crew earned Its rest today. Getting off to a five-run lead In the first Inlnng, when Dono-hue was shelled from the mound by flvft. successive hits, the Wrates saw their lead dwindle and almost vanish as the Reds battled uphill, fighting tenaciously and taking ad-Coatlnnrd oa Page 24. yotmr fellow who was developed at the Providence institution of learning- by Jean Imbue, positively will pitch one of the rames, probably the first, while Kufus Smith, a southpaw obtained from the same Institution, may make his first major start in a Tiger uniform In the after-piece. The Tigers cannot be oust! from the first division, regardless of what is In store for thm twly; neither can thry pet back into third place which the-Nationals took a firm grip upon nearly a week ago.

i of all this transportation representation we had to spend fnoney both ways on the Michigan Central. The grand old days of the pass and the mile age book ar. gone. There's a To. on th.

Michigan squad this y.ar, and if he runs to the I'oe form as Princeton knew it, some of th. other in the Conference have some interesting quar tera ahead of them. It was a day when the Navy should hsve been the opposition. The Navy boys would hav. felt at horn, in the moistness.

The ball had a habit of sorta squirting out of the hands of the players, but always Michigan adhered to that system which has be-eomo so strong witit Yost players they kept their ey. on the hall. They were after tho loose pigskin ss relentlessly as Dan Mc.Corn in Broadway kept after Steve. It was no day to shak. th.

moth balls out of the old racoon coat, but a day for slickers and rain coats, and these, with the hats of the gals, simply jaxzed up the landscape into a rlotoua blob of color.

BY C.

C. ERADNER. Originally th. notion of the stadium was Uia work of th. Greek boys, and, as w.

recollect It, the word one. meant a nautical measurement of fOO Greek feet. It was also a course for footraces. What with th. heavy 'rains of Baturdny and the sprinting ability of Oosterbaan, Gilbert, Rich, et al, both the nautical and th.

foot racing ideas wero carried out In th. new atadi-um at Ann Arbor. Though exceedingly well drained. the playing field was slippery: but not muddy. Players hitting the dirt, so to speak, slid on and on, and sent up wet spray from the grass.

The ball was as sleazy as cucumber "slippery Jacks" trying to get traction in J-in-1 oil. That hand-springing yell master Is back again thla season, for Michigan, and we hope he nets no condition to withhold him from the lineup. Why is It, by th. way. that th.
