Andi Recognition Of Fencing Also Santioned FENCINGi VARSITY SPORT Definite approval of four major projects' was tendered by the Board in Control of Athletics at a meeting of that bodyr yesterday at the Union; 'schdules, hiring of Franklin C. Cap- pon, second teams, and. recognition of fencing as a 'Varsity sport wre all officially confirmed. The hiring of Cappon, '23, one of the hardest driving and most versa- tile backs ever to (don the Michigan moleskins, was the feature action +af the board. News that negotiations for his services were under way leaked out about a week ago, but the runers were unauthoritative. Receives All-American Honor Cappon, whose play in the Michigan backfield during three years of com- petition attracted most attention, was also capable of assuming the duties attendant to every place on the teanm with the exception of center. Walter camp, deceased sports critic who wit- nessed one of Cappon's brilliant per formances, the 1922 dedicaton con- test with Ohio State at Columbus, paid tribute to the ability of the Wolverine by placing- him on his all-American squal in the position of utility man, the only time he has so honored any player. Cappon returns to Michigan after serving as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks over a period of two years. Disagreement with the director of athletics at the Kansas instituton and not failure to produce represen- tative teams was the reason for his resignation. Incidentally, Kansas was the only Missouri Valley team to de- feat Missouri, conquerors of the Northwestern eleven. Sanction Two-Team Plan The second most important action of the board in control of athletics, of which Prof. Ralph Aigler of the Law school is chairman, was the official sanctioning of the two-team plan adopted by the ig Ten directors upon the instigation of President Clarence Cook Littl. With the ac- tion of the athletic body here it is now absolutely certain that two Mich- igan teams will appear on the field every week end next football season, and it is a probability, that other branches of sports will also witness two representatives. *In approving the schedules drawn up At the Conference meeting at Chi- cago, the athletic board merely went through a formality, but the recogni- tion of fencing comes as _a climax to almost 25 years of persistent effort to produce such action. Under Coach de Tuscan, formerly champion of the Austrian army, Mich- igan's foil, saber, and epee squad will go through a season of preparation for the Conference meet, scheduled for March 9-10 at Chicago. A dual meet with Ohio State is also listed for Feb. 25.
