  COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept. 25.- Ohio States gridders, who dropped the 1850 finale to Michigan in a blizzard, are hoping for rain for Saturdays opener with Southern Methodist. Coach Wayne Woodrow WOODY Hayes, making his debut at the Buckeye helm, is convinced a steady downpour would be a pretty fair defense against the passing proves of long Fred Benners, ace pitcher of the Mustangs. The Lone Star thrower gave the greatest aerial exhibition in Ohio history in last years inaugural. He connected for four touchdowns three in the last II minutes to overcome a 27–⁠13 deficit and turn it into a 1927 conquest. Last Saturday, against Georgia Tech, rain baked Benners’ at tempt to turn the same trick as the Mustangs absorbed a 21–⁠7 set back. But Hayes, looking at Ben ners’ 1850 record of 100 compile tons in 108 minutes of play for 1861 yards, realizes the danger on a dry track.
