J r MJ.IHIGA1N DAILY 'I D SPOR r I W19THIR PUTS LID ON -HOCKEY GAMES Wisconsin and Waterston Games Are Indefinitely Postponed Because of Warm Weather VARSITY SQUAD MADE UP OF LAST YEAR'S VETERANS Because of unprecedented weather conditions, the hockey games, sched- uled with the Waterstons, of Detroit, for tonight and the University of Wis- consin, Friday and Saturday nights, have been indefinitely postponed. It has been impossible to make ice at the Coliseum since the early part of the holidays and the existing surface is useless for a hard game. Wisconsin Meets Up State Team Wisconsin is billed to meet the Michigan College of Mines at Hough- ton, Jan. 21 and 22. The Miners have the advantage of several weeks of in- tensive training,being on the ice for several workouts before the Christmas recess and since then have played sev- eral practice contests with the Port- age Lake and Calumet sextetes of the .A. A. H. A. It is the claim of the Copper country press that the students have developed a remarkably fast team, one that has held their more ex- perienced opponents Ain a creditable manner. Just what Wisconsin will be able to do with M. C. M. is something of a problem. The Cardinals have been playing the game as a varsity sport for several years and in that time have met some of the best independent and club teams of northern Wison- sin , and Minnesota. The experience gained in these battles and the confid- ence that is the result of this experi- ence makes the team formidable. Michigan Veterans in Lineup . It has been impossible to get a line on the men that will take the ice for Michigan in the first game. Several veterans of last year's suc- cesful team are in school and these men are being counted upon heavily to bedr the brunt of the first fe games. The 1920 forward line is in- tact and available for service in the present campaign and in the six man game, which has been almost univers- ally adopted throughout the country, is used here, the Maize and Blue will be represented by a seasoned aggre- gation of veterans., For this reason Manager Fletcher has been unworried by the lack of preliminary practice, feeling that the veterans can be re- pended upon to open the season with a bang. Detroit Teams to Fll In There is but little chance of play- ing any of the more important games on the schedule until after examina- tions, according to the hockey man- agement. The match with the Detroit Waterstons will be played just as soon as the ice is in condition, but the Wisconsin game Will have to be mov- ed toward the end of the season. Sev- eral Detroit independent teams that have asked for games with the Wol- verine outfit will be brought here to fill the list, it is said. M THE'S MEN FAILETO MAKE BESTOF CHINCES OFF NIGHT COUPLED WITH POOR1 TEAMWORK LOSES SECOND CONFERENCE GAME Inability to hit the basket when the chances presented themselves and an off night in general cost Michigan her second Conference basketball game. The team was obviously not up to form and displayed none of the speed and dash which has been shown In previous games. Weiss in particular was off form and repeatedly halted the teamwork by not co-operating. The whole team appeared nervous and failed to score on many easy chances. Indiana Has Fast Five No credit can be taken from the In- diana five, which was one of the fast- est aggregations that has ever played here. Michigan was outplayed by the Hoosiers, but if the Wolverine fAve had. exhibited the brand of basketball it showed against Wisconsin, the final score would have at least been much closer. Starting the season with two defeats does not make the outlook encourag- ing, but in view of the fact that the season is young and that Michigan has not as yet hit its stride there is much room for hope. Championship hopes could scarce be entertained for a team which tied for last place last year. Most encouraging is the im- provement over previous teams. Mich- igan is making a steady gain in strength year by year and this sea- son has a team which will cause any of the fives trouble. The disappoint- ing showing against Indiana, who came here with a veteran team, should not be taken as a criterion of the season's prospects. Ohio State Here Saturday Saturday night Ohio State meets the Wolverines at Waterman gymna- sium and on Monday Iowa will be the opponents of Mather's men. Ohio State lost to Indiana by the same mar- gin to which the - Wolverines suc- sumbed. Iowa has met w'ith several. reverses but has a fighting team. In both of these contests Michigan will be able to test her famous come- back. "Duke" Dunne is training stead- ily and the big fellow is acquiring an eye for the basket. If Dunne can round into form he may be used at center in the next games. Hloppe Greatest Living Champion (By Wally Elliott) Twenty-five years ago Wille Hoppe made his first billiard' shot. Today he is the greatest billiard player in the world, and is the youngest man ever to have won an international' title. His never nervous, always careful playing has won for him in 25 years of almost daily practice the most cov- eted objective in the billiard world. Peterson Accompanies Hoppe Hoppe comes to Ann Arbor with his travelling partner, Charles C. Peter- son, for a series of exhibition match- es on the afternoon and evening of Jan. 18 in the reading room of the. Union. His appearance is atreat that. Michigan students will seldom see the equal of in any form of activity and nearly every man on the campus, bil- liard player or no, will find that the 75 cent purchase price of a ticket is money well spent.
