BASKETBALL TEAM LEAVES TONIHT FOR CINC1NA4TI AND CASE GAMESl Mathers Men From Look For Opposition Southern Ohio Team WISCONSIN, IOWA, PURDUE, STRONG IN BIG TEN CIRCLES Coach Mather and nine members of the Varsity basketball team leave for Cincinnati tonight where they will en-! gage the speedy University of Cincin- nati court team Friday night in the first game of the season away fron home. From Cincinnati the Wolver- ines travel to Cleveland where they, meet the basketeers from Case Sci- entific school on Saturday night. Mather has his men drilled for a stiff encounter with the Cincinnati five as the Wolverines are not underestimat- ng the strength of a team which al- ready holds a victory over Ohio State. The Scientists are not expected "to furnish as formidable opposition as the Cincinnatians but the two gama should put the Wolverine five on edge for the games that are to be played during the Christmas holidays with Carnegie Tech. Team Disbands After the Case contest the Varsity will disband until Dec. 26, when the men will return to Ann Arbor for in- tensive practice preparatory to enter- taining the Carnegie Tech. five in con- tests at Waterman gymnasium, Dec. 30 tnd 31. M. A. C. will be the first op ponent after the holidays to meet the Wolverines. The. Aggie five will en gage the Varsity on Friday, Jan. 6, while Ohio State will furnish the op-. position the following Monday, Jar 9, and Chicago on the following night Three Teams Strong Three teams in the Conference stand out particularly strong with almost complete veteran lineups. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Purdue all have court squads which suffered little from the loss of stars through graduation. Wis- consin and Purdue were the two teams which ended the -season last year in a. triple tie with Michigan for first honors. The Badgers opened their season last Saturday with the Mich- igan Aggies and showed decided pos- sibilities for a strong Conference team by overwhelming the Farmers, 27 to 13. Most of the cogs of last year's five worked in good form against the Green and White. Caesar and Taylor at forwards with Williams and Tebell at guards were the veteran members of the squad who appeared in action with Personal Greeting Cards.

Purdue also has four veterans, including its two All-Conference guards, White and Miller, while Iowa retains five experienced men., Wolverines Promising Michigan's team has shown great possibilities and the games against Carnegie Tech. should give Mather's team the kind of opposition necessary to condition them for the Conference race. From present appearances it looks as if no one of the Big Ten teams will stand out pre-eminently above the rest and that the teams in both the first and second divisions will again be bunched together after the play begins. HARVARD BREAKS EVEN IN COURT AND HOCKEY GAMES Harvard defeated Bates 29-19 last Friday evening, in a ragged basketball game. The Crimson held Bates score- less during the first half, but loosened up in the second. The Crimson hockey team was beaten in the afternoon in a stiff game with M. I. T. The score was 1-0. Sport Clippings In its first combat of the season, the University of Chicago basketball team snowed under the First field artillery, 41 to 15. Coach Norgren's short pass combination was shown for the first time. The team work was a bit ragged but the men have been practicing for only a week. The Mid- way fives in past years have been ad- herents of the long passing and long shot game. The old system as taught the Maroons by their former coach, "Pat" Page, worked with great suc- cess against the Conference teams but since Page's departure the Midway court squad has failed to exhibit its former power. With the short pass- ing game, the Maroons may again be formidable contenders. Captain Halladay, Stahr, Romney, and McGuire, all played strong games. Halladay and McGuire were the only Chicago regulars from last year's team. Many Chicago track candidates are pounding the track in Bartlett gymna- sium under the experienced eye of Coach A. A. Stagg and his assistant, Tom Eck. The fact that the Maroon team has been invited to Japan next summer is expected to bring out a flock of new men. Patronize our Advertisers.-Adv.

Gehring, 1921 cham- pion, defeated Ogdon in the semi-fin- als, three straight sets 21-2, 21-17, 21- 8. Scarnechia also defeated Segall in the semi-fSanls thereby winning a clear title to play Gehring in the final game. Many former cup winners had engaged in the tournament but the schedule was so arranged that all of them with the exception of Gehring were elinin- ated before the semi-finals.
