BIIH POST SEASON-WORK
More Than Forty Candidates Report
To Mather At Waterman I
Gym
WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE
SESSIONS THREE WEEKS
Coach Mather held the first post-
season basketball practice for all stu-
dents who contemplate going out for
future Varsity teams last night at
Waterman gymnasium. More than
forty candidates presented themselves
for the initial workout, including
several stars of the Freshman squad.
1The candidates spent the greater
part of the evening in shooting, with
especial emphasis being placed on the
arch shot. Groundwork in offensive
play was also taken up, and a drill in
fundamentals will precede the more
complex work which is to follow.
Practices will be held twice each
week, the days being Tuesday and
Thursday at 7 o'clock. The practices
will be held for two or three weeks
if the weather permits. No practice
will be held tomorrow beacuse the
two teams left in the finals in the
fraternity basketball race are to use
the large floor.
No scrimmages will be held for sev-
eral practices as many of the men
have not played regularly this year

Mistake In Aiwarhig Rehly Points
Causes Error In Fir-I
Report
NORTHWESTERN SIVLMM ERS
DISQUALIFIED IN EVENT
Due to a mistake in awarding points
in the 160 yard relay which North-
western won and in which the Purple
team was disqualified, the officials
in charge of the Conference swimming
meet at Chicago last Friday, gave
Minnesota credit for second place in
the meet instead of Michigan's squad
which garnered two more points than
the Gophers.
Gow Is Star.
Northwestern, as had been antici-f
gated, swam off with the title by ac-
cumulating a total of 32 points. Michi-
gan with 14 points followed the Pur-
ple with Iowa and Minnesota in a
deadlock for third honors with 121
counts. Close on the heels of Iowaj
and Minnesota splashed Chicago andi
Indiana who shared fifth place by ac-
cumulating 11.- points. Wisconsin-
came through for a seventh place
pressed by Illinois' natators who cap-
tured 9 points for a eighth iosition.
Gow was the outsanding Wolverine
star in the meet. Swimming against
such stellar tank men as Howell, and
Breyer of Northwestern, and Richter
of linnesota, he came through for a
second in the 100 yard free style and!
a fourth in the 40 yard free style be-
ing a big factor in the success of the
Michigan relay team. Wittingham
was the only other Wolverine to score
and his 2 noints for a third in the
breast stroke put the Maize and Blue
in the runing for high honors.
