Wolverine Offense
Coaches Harry Kipke and George~
Veenker sent the Michigan basketball
team through a strenuous workout
last night at Yost Field house in pre-
paration for the inaugural of the lo-
cal Big Ten season against Indiana
university tomorrow night.
Both offense and defense were em-
phasized in last night's drill in or-
der to put the Michigan quintet on
edge for the powerful Indiana team
which ran roughshod over the Uni-
versity of Chicago last Saturday by
a score of 32 to 13.
Indiana's victory against Coach
Nel Norgren's Maroon cagers was
made possible largely by the phe-
nomenal shooting of McCracken, In-
diana sophomore. McCracken sunk
eleven goals from the field and twice
registered goals from the fouls line
for a total of 24 points, eleven morel
than the entire Chicago team.
icCrackenIs hoosier Ace
That McCracken will be a task for
the Michigan defense is so obvious
that it does not need statement. Ho-
erger and Gist, the two Chicago play-
ors who were designated to stop the
Indiana star last Saturday, failed
ably. Time after time McCracken
would slip aroundl the dlefensive men
and send the ball through the hoop
with one handafrom a position di-
rectly underneath the basket.
Possessing no slight build, Mc-
Crackensalso has height and rangi-I
ness added to his weight, so that
few centers of rival teams will be
pressed hard to outjump him and se-
cure the drive on the tip-off.
In addition to McCracken, Coach
Everett Dean has several other play-
ers who will prove troublesone to
the Wolverines tomorrow night, At
the forward positions he has Becl-
ner and Wells, both veterans of lastj
year's team which finished second j
in the Western conference standing.j
Correll, another veteran, and Scheid3
are the two guards who will probably
start against, the Maize and Blue
cagers.

by falls, while Warren gained a de-
cisive decision over Byers.
The return of Ed George, star
heavyweight of the 1925 team has
also greatly strengthened the Wol-
verines. George experienced no diffi-
culty in defeating Skinner, the Buck-
eye heavyweight, pinning him with
a double arm lock in 5:41.
The superior condition of the Wol-
verine matmen counted heavily in
nearly every one of the bouts of the
opening meet, but it was especially
noticeable in the 145 pound match
which went into overtime periods.

the strength of the Boiler dkeis and

A majority of the teams on the
Illinois schedule which lists Purdue,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Indi-
ana, Ohio State and Chicago, are con-
sidered the strongest in the confer-
ence, which makes it plain that I1-
linois will have to battle for every-
thing it gets on the floor. Another
disadvantage, possibly, is the fact that
the Illini play three games away from

The shifting of Harrigan from a
guard position to a forward end the I
placing of Rose at guard seems to
have effected a combination which -~
has speeded up the play of the Mich-
igan team. The shake-up worked
well against Wisconsin Monday and
in the practice sessions this week, in-
dicating that the Wolverines will pro- J
bably regain the offensive drive
which marked their preliminary skir-
mishes againstnon-conference foes
In the two Western conference
games, the Michigan team has falter-
ed offensively; but if a coordination
with the defense is created so that
the tean will function equally well I
and consistently in both phases, the
Maize and Blue cagers will prove a
