Mather is far from satisfied' with the condition of Michigan's basketball team which shared Big Ten honors last year with Iowa, Indiana and Purdue, all of which are said toj be represented by promising squads -this season. Frank Harrigan, letter man and first choice fdr the running guard po- sition on this year's quintet, was forc- ed to leave the practice Thursday night with an attack of pleurisy. Al- though this will probably not keep him out of the opening game, it will seriously impair the effectiveness of team play. Rasnick, also a letter mlan of last year's squad, was unable to re- port for practice until Thursday, and as yet is in no condition for actual playing.] Another difficulty which has con- fr~nted Coach Mather has been the inability to get the entire squad tb- gether at one time, but with the close' of the football season and the report of several men from the grid squad,. work is expected to improve. Nyland,1 Truskowski, Babcock and Greenwald have already reported for practice and Squier is expected out in a-few days.l Benny Oosterbaan, Wolverine all-' around star, has attended only one or two workouts so far. Nyland is a de-I pendable man and works well under, fire, but is pnly now rounding into shape for scrihumage.1 The team is in nowhere near finali form, according to Coach Mather, but has bleen lining up as follows: Cap-I tain Chambers at standing- guard,( Harrigan at running guard, McCoy att center; and Martin and Barley at for- wards. McCoy is a sophomore with' a deadly eye for the basket but lack- ing in eXperience. For this reason, Harrigan has worked at center part1 of the time - while Clemens, an'ther sophomore, has been fitting in at the1 ruln~ing guard post. Truskowski asi considered another good prospect for' }"k t I !- H ON THE By Wilton Sitpson First women wore tents, then it was two-piece bathing suits; later it was tne-piece costumes, and now it is none at all. Mrs. Charlotte Moore Schoemmell of New York, who is to be one of the contestants in the ."$25, 000 marathon swim from Catilina Island to California on January 15, startles the world with the announce- ment that she will compete in th' race with a coating of black axle grease as her only "bathing suit." He: new bathing costume has been ap- proved by the rules committee ?a charge of the event. - SIDELINES Reba "Bobby" Schwartz, expert AJHMOAI Los Angeles swimmer has noti- led the committeethat she will wear a one-piece grease costume. Mrs. Schoemmell, who holds sev- ,eral long distance records in. the east, said sie saw no "Immodesty" -jin competing without the reguia. tion bathing costume.. However, it has been described as "disgraC- fu" by ;1irs. Clemington Corson, who was one of the crowd that was pilcked onl yfonder shore of .- the English Channel last summer. She has been quoted as threaten- ing to withdraw from the 23-mile competition if Mis.

"It is much faster than the old method," lie said, "but you have to have a tall center or there is no use trying it."' Another athlete makes good! Lieut. Matt McGrath, champion discus thrower and Olympic athlete, has been promoted to a captaincy on the New York police force. He will captain the 1927 police squad. For the past two years he has played the bar room guard. Deacon Tiger Flowers, world's middleweight c h a m p i on, who fought hickey Walker in Chicago last night, credits, his success to observance of careful training rules and strong reliance on re- ligion.. He makes a practice of reading three verses of the New Testament from the Bible daily .and he not only prays before each ring battle, but calls upon scrip- tural lines to strengthen his cour- age under fire. When Flowers won the title from Harry Greb, he said lie re- peated to himself a part of the 144th psalm before each round. The psalm reads: "BUlessed be tthe Lord, my strength, which teacheth my han(ds to war and my fingers to fight." Who is going to walk across. the English Channel when it freezes over this winter? Will it be a man or a woman? -Ezzy. i l ,I t f f s T t FOUR WOLVERINES MENTIONED ON 'MYTHICAL SWIMMING TEAM Four Michigan men, Capt. Samsoif, Darnell, R. Halsted and J. Halsted, were named on the all-American swimming team for 192, selected by Frank J. Sullivan, editor of the Inter-1 collegiate Guide, for the Spaulding athletic library. In the selections, made from all the teams throughout the country, 18 col- leges are repi'esented, Yale university leading with six stars. Minnesota and Navy placed five swimmers on the mythical team, while Princeton has three, Iowa, Wisconsin, Lehigh, Stan- ford and Rutgers have two, and De-f troit City college, Washington uni- versity, Syracuse, Northwestern, Illi- nois, Iowa State, and Brown place one man each. James Bronson, Yale captain, leads the list of stars, being chosen as the first man in the 50, 100 and 220-yard free style events. Bronson holds thel intercollegiate record in all three +fI these. Other exceptional men listud are Wychoff and Allen, Navy; O'Con- nor, Stanford; House, Yale; O'Brie1, Illinois; Carter and Hill, Minnesota. O'Connor was selected as' the bet bet in the 440-yard swim, House and Hill in the back stroke, Allen in the breast stroke, and O'Brien and Carter in the diving, while Wrchoff was named as a fine all-arnd math. The Wolverines named oun th7 honorary team and their events fol- low: 50-yard free style, Darnell;a100-- yard free style, Darnell; 220 ya free style, Samson; 440-yard free stylo, Samson; back stroke, J. HaIstcd and R. Halsted. In the fourth State A. A - w-sĀ«vim meet, to be held tonight at the- Detroit Athletic club, Michigan swimrers have been entered in two of'the six events on the program. Walker, Be- ment, Batter, Hubbell, Seager, Reif, and Hosmer have been ent'e 4in the 50-yard free style'event, w igapt. Samson, Darnell and Seager r li om- pete in the century swim. *~ 4 Raymond Bowers, captain of the 192( holds the distinction of being the last ma: the Ohio school. A rule passed last year Beginning next fall the leader for each go leyan coaches as toe team takes the field. June. this place but has not been out for! practice long enough. Capt. Eddie Chambers has been shifted from forward to standing guard as he is the most experienced man on the squad and has uncanny ability to take the ball off the back- board and run it down the floor. Whittle is another man of promise. Team play, such as there has beea, has been extremely spotted, according, to Coach Mather. \One day the team' goes like a first-class quintet and the next time it works like a combination of schoolboys. The men have gained their "basket eyes," however, and are scoring with a fair -amount of regu- ! larity. On defense, the team is woefullyl weak, according to Coach Mather, and it is here that most stress is being1 laid. The squad now includes 21 men but will be reduced to its final form in the next week or so. Sixteen willI probably remain for the season.
