OOSTERBAAN
NEW PLAYERS SHOW WELL
Last Night's Scrimmage Devoted To
Removing Of Rough Spots
From Offensive
"Oosterbaanless," but nevertheless
highly effective for an opening con-
test, Coach Edwin J. Mather's 1927
Wolverine cagemen displayed the es-
sential potentialities of being another
great basketball team in running
rough-shod over State in their first
encol'iter, namely a good defense, re-
liable veteran material, and promising
new candidates. However, several ap-
parent rough spots appeared in the
play of the Michigan team which must
be ironed out.
The sources of greatest strength
shown by Coach Mather's charges in
the traditional State tilt lay in the
close guarding of the entire Wolver-
ine team which limited the Spartan
sharpshooters to an exceptionally
small number of field goals for an
opening encounter, and in the promis-
ing performances turned in by several
,of the newcomers.
Raber, Kantz Show Wel.*-
The work of Raber and Kaft the
two new men who started at the for-
ward berths was especially graifying.
Raber proved beyond a possible' doubt
that he possesses all of the attributes'
of a great forward, his shootig was
accurate to an unusual degree, he
covered his man well on defense, and
his floor work was about all that
could be desired.
Kanitz, likewise stamped himself a
capable floor man, using his speed to
an advantage in advancing the ball
into an enemy territory and passing
well under the basket. Basamo also I
gave several pretty exhibitions of
passing during the brief interval he
was in the game.
Capt. Frank Harrigan treated the
spectators to some real teamwork,
carrying the ball through the entire
State defense time after time by his
deceptive dribble; only to "feed" it
to some teammate who was nearer to
the basket, instead of taking the shot
himself.
Besides scoring a total of 3 points
largely through his ability to -cage the1
ball from near the center of the floor,
the veteran McCoy also played a
strong defensive game, although ac-
casional lapses in alertness allowed
State to score on several occasions.
Nevertheless McCoy displayed a no-
ticeable lack of the teamwork, that
featured the play of Harrig4n, fre-
~quently attempting long shots 'instead
of passing to one of his mates who
was in a position to make a close
shot.
Shooting Of Sharp Variety.
The accuracy of Raber, McCoy, and
Harrigan, on the few occasions when
he elected to attempt a shot instead
of passing to a teammate, offset the
combined efforts of the entire Michi-
gan State team. The Wolverines out-
scored their opponents two to one
from the floor by garnering a'total of
18 field goals. The winners also
proved themselves capable of :scoring
frequently from the foul line by count-
ing in seven of their 11 attempted free
throws during the contest.
Last night's drill consisted largely
in ironihng out the faults that rappear-
ed during the State contest in prepar-
ation for the second test of Vhe sea-
son with Pittsburgh, Thursday night.
Coach Mather is faced with the prob-
lem of determing a new starting line-
up for the encounter.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Baseball
magnates and managers gathered here
today for the annual conventions of
the major leagues, which will con-
sume a bigtportion of the week.
Today's task for the steering com-
mittees of the National and American
League was to decide on matters to be
reported upon at the joint meeting
,of the leagues Thursday.
Tomorrow the National League will
hold its annual session, and on Wed-
nesday the American League will have
its annual meting.
Many new faces are visible with the
managers. Roger Peckinpaugh, the
new pilot of the Cleveland Indians;
Jack Slattery, manager of the Braves,
and Burt Shotton, at the helm ofathe
Phillies, mingle with the select for the
first time.
While Bill McKechnie, of the Pi-
rates, comes here in the role of man-
ager of the Cardinals, the conclaves
are not new to him.

ILLINOIS EKES OUT WIN
By Herbert E. Vedder.
Minnesota pried the lid off the
1927-28 boiling pot called officially
the "basketball season," but she did
it in a little different way than did
the other Conference schools who
were playing curtain raisers Satur-
day night. Cornell college of Iowa,
hiding under that lid, proved to be
one of those pack-in the box Santa
Claus delivered too soon and jumped
up to slap the Gophers 25-21.
The "Thundering Herd," just re-
moved from a great season on the
gridiron, apparently has not yet be-
come accustomedl to the rather ab-
breviatel clothing worn by basketball
players.
Three others in the Big Ten did
not fare any too well, however, Chi-
cago receiving a real scare when Mon-
mouth of the IllinoisConference forced
the Maroons into an overtime period
before Nels Norgren's boys from the
Midway managed to finish on top, 33-

time was Chicago's best period.
Ohio won out from Ohio Wesleyan.

scoring affair which ended in a 42-36
count.
By gaining an 18-6 victory over Coe
college's Mohawk's, Wisconsin gained
the honor of taking the most ridicu-
lous game of the evening. It would
seem that the Badgers and Buckeyes
might learn a bit from each other as
each has what the other lacks. Ohio
could stand a bit of Mr. Meanwell's
apparently marvelous defense while
the Badgers would profit from a little
basket shooting lesson from the
Buckeyes. With these minor improve-
ments made, both should have great
teams.
Illinois almost kept its athletic

Roger Peckinbaugh
Who once formed with "Bucky"
Harris one of the best keystone com-
binations in baseball, is now a rival
of his erstwhile manager, having
signed a contract as manager of the
Cleveland Indians.
These two, who as teammates back
in 1924 stopped the onrush of the
New York Yankees who were headed
for their fourth straight pennant, will
again in 1928 attempt to stop this new
and perhaps greater Yankee team,
this time as rival managers.
Peckinpaugh was named most valu-
