Coach Goldsmith, freshman mentor, claims to have built up an ag- gregation of tank artists that can re- peat the performance of last year's freshman squad and down Coach Dru- lard's Varsity hopefuld, while mem- bers of the regular squad are confid- ent that they are superior to the yearl- ings. Whatever the result, it is sure to be a hard fought encounter. Decide Team Personnel Other than settling the question of Varsity or freshman superiority the meet will help in deciding the four men who will swim in the state cham- pionship relay event at the Detroit Athletic club Saturday evening. Pick- ing the four best 100 yard men now on the Varsity squad is a difficult proposition and Coach Drulard is not finding his selection easy. Captain Gilmore and Hyde are certain selec- tions but the choice of the other two lies between several good men, Stek- etee, Searle, Smith, and Randall ap- pearing to have the edge. Hubbard is being saved for the 500 yard event in which he is expected to show well. State Meet Entries Manager Elliott has announced the following entries for the state meet at the D. A. C. on Saturday: 50 yard free style-Captain Gilmore, Hyde, Randall, Smith, Steketee, Searle; 220 yard free style-Captain Gilmore; Hyde, Searle; 500 yard free style Hubbard; fancy diving-White; 50 yard handicap-Schwartz, Ullmann, White. 'lather Expains " tease" Report "I would rather lose every basket- ball game on the Conference schedule than win one by questionable meth- ods," stated Coach E. J. Mather yes- terday, when questioned regarding the appearance of several of Michigan's court squad with greased arms and shoulders in the Wisconsin basketball game Saturday. "The truth of the matter is," contin- ued the coach, "that several of the players returned to the foor before the preparation used in rubbing them down between the halves had .been wiped off. ;Neither Billy Fallon, the trainer, nor myself was aware of the fact. "At any rate there would have been no advantage in purposely greasing the men as the ball would have been Just as hard for Michigan to handle as it was for her opponents," Mathe concluded.

II DAIS CUP SERIES ENDS TENNIS' GRETST YEAR UNITED STATES TEAM EXHIBITS PHENOMENAL BRAND OF PLAY When on the last day of 1920, Wil- liam Tilden II and William Johnston defeated Norman Brookes and Gerald Patterson in the doubles match of the Davis Cup matches, not only did the coveted trophy again come into the possession of the United States after an absence of six years, but with this victory, was closed perhaps the great- est tennis year in the history of the country. Gathering strength and1 prestige during the year by virtue of their victories in this country and in the world championships later on in England, the Americans made a clean sweep of the year and as a fitting cul- mination to their !previous victories, completely = outplayed the defending Australians in the challenging Dav- is Cup matches at Auckland, New Zealand, last week. Johnston Stars Particularly spectacular in the in- ternational contests was the work of William Johnston. His play was nothing less than remarkable and to him must go the greatest praise and glory for the American victory. The Californian was at the top of his old- time stride and his excellent headwork and judgment couped with his sensa- tional sped and driving were the out- standing features of the matches. No less remarkable was the work of William Tilden, Johnston's team- mate. The tall Philadelphian with his varied strokes and complete mas- tery of all styles of game eliminated his opponents in masterly fashion. While his victories were not as deci- sive as those of Johnston, neverthe- less after studying his adversaries' game, he outplayed them with the skill of a champion. While it was generally conceded that the Ameri- cans would take the matches, it was not thought that they would score such a complete victory, particularly in the doubles. It was in this con- test that the sensational volleying and net work of Johnston was most re- markable and surpassed even the vet- eran Brookes, who is considered the greatest doubles player today. Til- den's terrific service also came in good stead for the winners. U. S.

In 1 consequence, J.Jerome and W. F Rice stilltop the list of cup aspir o ants with 70 and 69 baskets, respec stively. The other three men fell con s siderably below the standard set ear- t lier in the race. The color of the tallies may be changed when the other - five men who qualified get their 50 re- maining chances at the basket. r Th Poor Scores The scores to date are poor com- - pared with those made in the free throw tourney run off last season a - the gymnasium. At least five men .e had total, scores of 80 or more at the r conclusion of the event. During th past week the two best totals made are fully 10 points below these, with the rest of the counts trailing well i n the rear. This is more noticeable in iview of the fact that there are nearly twice as many men entered this yea - in the tournament as there were last - winter. Officials from the Intramura t office will be at the gymnasium fror - 1 to 3 o'clock this afternoon so tha e the men who have not finished their complete number of shot at the bas ket can do so., Olympic Star Defeats Dick Losch in Two Sensational Heats Saturday VARSITY TRACK SQUAD IS PRE- PARING FOR INDOOR MEET Jack Scholz, former Missouri track star and a point winner in the sprints for the American Olympic team lastj summer, defeated Dick Losch, veteran dash man of the Varsity, in two close- ly contested heats of a 50 yard dash at Waterman gymnasium Saturday ' afternoon.

Main St.-Adv. heat. Losch proved to the spectators that he is gradually rounding into his 1919 form and by the opening of the indoor season should be in the best shape of his career. In the second heat of Sat- urday's exhibition he seemed to have his opponent shaded until a slight wrench of a tendon, an old injury, slowed him up perceptibly. Scholz iss residing in Detroit, where he is com-t peting for the D. A. C. and intends toe come to Ann Arbor for similar work- outs each Saturday for the remaindera of the preliminary training season. ilofstetter Pleasesu With the resumption of hostilitiest following the Christmas recess thet Varsity has settled down to real workc in preparation for the first indoort meet of the year, the Illinois Relay1 Carnival at Urbana on March 5, where it is expected that last year's victory1 will be repeated. The showing made by Hofstetter in the two-mile is thet most encouraging sign that has greet- ed Coach Farrell this year, this mant has been working into the distance1 in a manner that augurs well for an event woefully weak last year. The dashmen, counted as one of the strongest units of the squad, have come strong in the last few days and: bid fair to surpass all expectations. Simmons, Harvie, and Kelly in addi- tion to Losch seem to be the pick of the 100 yard men. Vault Squad Strong Farrell's big problem remains as yet unsolved, the development of a cap- mile and half mile duo, the men are hard workers and fair runners but up' to the present have failed to absorb Steve's instructions. The middle dis- tance squad, led by Capt. Larry But- ler, has begun to show the speed that made it one of the Big Ten's strong- est last spring. Joiner, Wetzel, and Wheeler have all 'appeared for regu- lar workouts this week and have made rapid strides toward top form. Wes- brook has spent several strenuous weeks at his event and at present has a slight physical edge on the other pole vaulters. This event is worry- ing Steve but little as he figures that his trio, made up of Wesbrook, Slaughter and Landowski, hasn't a' superior in the West. Naylor is an- other vaulter that has .made better than an ordinary showing. Martha Washington Candies, fresh every Friday. 90c. Tice's Drug Store, 117 So. Main St.-Adv. Waterman gymnasium will serve onight as a sort of safety-valve for pent-up rivalries and will continue to do so during the next two weeks when the different houses will engage in the raternity basketball tournament.

ILLINOIS IS PREPAING FDARCARNIVALVISITORS (By Associated Press) Urbana, Ill., Jan. 10.-The Univer-: sity of Illinois relay carnival, which is to be held here March 5, is expect-, ed to be not only one of the largest indoor track meets of the year, but also, judging from the entries, one of the fastest. The enormous size of the university armory has made it possi-I ble to construct one of the best indoor tracks in the country. It has been carefully worked over this fall, and the time trials indicate that the track is faster than ever. Large pits have been made for the broad and high jumping and pole- vaulting, and these make the condi- tions practically equal to an outdoor field. The 75-yard straightway, where the dashes and hurdles will be run, has been the scene of some nof the most famous races in track history. Several world's records have been equaled and broken on this track. Patronize Daily advertisers.-Adv.
