V i .e PRTTHINS DOWN FRESH6BSKETEERS Develops Formidable Yearling Squad From Original Field of 200 Candidates COACH HAS DIFFICULT TIME PICKING BEST COMBINATIONS' From a field of 200 candidates, Coach Derrill Pratt of the freshman basketball team has finally developed a yearling basket squad that is quite formidable. When the call for mate- rial was first issued by the coach, he was snowed under with the largest turnout that had ever answered the premier call at this University. From an overwhelming abundance of for-I wards, centers, and guards, the coach had to select a squad which was man- ageable, and by a process of choosing players and working them in different combinations, the mentor has thinned the squad down so that only the best of the candidates remain. All Men Good The most remarkable thing about the squad is the absence of a super star who stands out above the rest. Anyone of the five or six best men on the aggregation would shine above their fellow players if they were play- ing on an ordinary college freshman squad. On this team, however, they maintain their places with difficulty. Two men who came out for the fresh team with basketball records made at one of the small colleges of the state were unable to make a place on the squad. Another evidence of the squad's strength is the fact that all of the basketeers with one exception are six-footers. The men are so well matched that the coach finds difficulty in naming five men who would constitute a first team. Ho wever, five players have earned a slightly higher place for themselves than have the others. They are Arch McGriegor ag.d Kennedy, for- wards, McWood, center, and Ely and Swan, guards. Kennedy is probably the best basket cager on the squad, while McGregor displays a finished skill at dribbling the ball down the floor. McWood is not a player of the sensational type but is undoubtedly the best center on the squad. Ely Sticks to Man Ely was on the Hillsdale college team last year which lost to the Mih- igan court squad.- This man is a good basket sinker but because of his ability at sticking to an opponent is of more value to the team at running guard. Swan, the other member of the team, plays a sure, steady game and is a good man at the standing guard position. Birk and Roth, forwards, Lawton and Elliott, centers, and John Mc- Gregor and Nellis, guards, are hardly less qualified for handling the ball than are those named first. The coach forms a team from these me which often overcomes the other five Next year's outlook on Varsity mate rial from the present fresh squad i good.

Ar- thur Karpus of the Varsity basketball team is tied for second place among the Conference basketball scorers. Leading the Big Ten in total number of points is Birkhoff, brilliant forward of Chicago, and 'Captain Taylor of Wisconsin shares second place with Karpus. -To' gain this high place Karpus in eight games has tossed in 15 field goals and 41 free throws. His record in making fouls count is the highest in the Conference. Birkhoff has made 20 field baskets and has counted 36 free throws. Taylor has netted 32 baskets from the floor and has count- ed 27 fouls. The nearest Wolverine player to Karpus is Whitlock, who has made nine field goals and two free throws for 20 points, and as a result is 16th in the standing. Dunne, who started the season late, is 19th as a result of making 10 field goals.

The final score of the game was 22 to 15, but does not in- dicate the hard battle put up by the S. A. E. aggregation. The offensive play was featured by both teams, the winners being one point to the good at the end of the first half and lead- ing by the same scant margin at the conclusion of the third quarter. The ability of Meyers to hit the center of the basket was largely re- sponsible for the victory of the Alpha Sigs, while the heady work of Sey- mour and Dunleavy kept the loser's score well up in addition to holding down the counting of their victorious opponents. MacGregor and McWood for Alpha Sigma Phi also played stel- lar games, being remarkably fast at working the ball down the court. The final result of the tourney has little effect on the relative positionsI of the first ten fraternities save to place Alpha Sigma Phi among the leaders and to bring about a tie for tenth place between Delta Chi and Phi Gamma Delta.
