Coach Wieman tried out the three newest addi- tions to the "A" squad, Geistert, Hughes, and Cook, in a Varsity second team-freshman game dur- ing yesterday's practice session. No Injuries Saturday The Varsity seems to have earn-! ed a day of rest by its work against Illinois and the Navy, for yester- day was the first time the regulars had been excused from practice since the beginning of the season. After the string of grueling games and the long train ride from Balti- more, the Varsity appeared to need' at least one day to recover from the bumps and bruises the Middies handed out. No one was injured in the Navy tilt, and with the assur- ance that Gembis' condition does not warrant an operation for ap- pendicitis and that the big fullback may be able to report later in the week, the Maize and Blue squad should be in perfect physical con- dition bythe time of the Michigan State game.- It is probable that Coach Wie-. man will take little chance of hav- ing any of his regulars injured be-1 fore the all important Iowa contest, and will spare the first team as much as possible in the State tilt, since the Spartans, who succumbed to the Univrersity of Detroit 30-0 Saturday, should provide little. trouble for the greatly improved, Michigan eleven. A light workout will be -in order for the Varsity to-f morrow, when a freshman team,1 tutored by Coach Veenker who has scouted State, will show the Spar- tan plays to the regualrs. Geistert Moved To Varsity The transfer of Geistert and Cook to the "A" squad came as a result of their fine Work against Alma in the Junior Varsity game here Saturday. Geistert, dimin- utive quarterback, personally ac- counted for three of the Wolverines five touchdowns, gaining through the Alma eleven almost at will, while Cook was a potent factor in the Michigan defense, which stop- ped the highly touted Alma plung- ing attack time after time. Hughes was taken on the Navy trip with the Varsity due to Gembis' illness, (Continued on Page Seven) '4"Apperel for University Men" ning, November 15. The Cougars and Olympics have engaged in a few practice tilts dur- ing the past week, and Manager Adams is confident both teams have derived much benefit from these games and with another week of hard practice the Cougars will be on edge for the opener. Hockey fans will see a number of new faces on the Cougar roster this season with the addition of Herbie Lewis, Bobby Connors, Jimmy Herberts and "Dolly" Dol- son. In the person of Herbie Lewis, Manager Adams has obtained one of the flashiest center ice men turned out in the American asscia- tion, during the past few years, and he is expected to put the punch in the Cougar line-up this year. Jimmy Herberts, who has shown himself to be a performer of the first magnitude was purchased from Toronto, for $15,000, and Jack Arbour, a defense man. He came liere highly touted) "and without doubt will strengthen the team on its attack. He is a center. Bobby Connors, flashy forward, with the Olympics last season, needs no introduction to fans who saw him in action with the minor league team last season. The goalie's net will be guarded by "Dolly" Dolson, who was ob- tained from Stratford, champions !of the Canadian-Pro league last season. He has performed very well during the practice games and ( will be an asset to the team's cham- pionship aspirations.{ x Among the veterans of last sea- son are George Hay, Larry Aurie, and Carson Cooper, forwards, and Puss Traub, Reg Neble and Gor- don Fraseer, defense men. Purdue College, Lafayette, Indi- ana: A new tradition has been started by the student council. The "Victory Bell," mounted on a spe- cial chasis is drawn up to the sta- dium for conference games, and paraded around before the game. The bell is kept silent, unless Pur- due wins. In that case it is rung joyously. SIGMA ALPHA MU I SPEEDRALL_ TOURNEY Delta Sigma Phi Nosed Out Fastest! Game Ever Played On South # Ferry Field OVER 200 WATCH GAMEI Under leaden skies, and with a strong wind sweeping over South4 Ferry field, the last inter-frater- nity speedball contest to be played this fall terminated last night in a 12 to 10 victory for Sigma AlphaI Mu. Delta Sigma Phi the losing club, took the lead in the opening pe- riod and were ahead at half time. However the Sigma Alpha Mu team was not to be denied, and near the beginning of the second half they started to kick their way to vic- tory. The game last night was in many was the most exciting of its kind to. be run off on the speedball playing field in many a fall session. The Delta Sigs, whose personel was composed of several high school basket ball stars, took advantage of the rule which allows the player to either kick or pass the ball. During the first and most of the second periods, while they had the ball in their possession, the 200 hundred or more shivering spec- tators were treated to a rare ex- hibition of passing. Working on the principle that the foot is mightier than the hand, the Sigma Alpha Mu team began kicking the ball around in such a manner that the Delta Sigs had a difficult time, getting their hands on the ball at all, and finally the winners came from behind to re- tain the lead until the final whistle. Yesterday marked the second time that the Jewish boys have taken the cup given by the Intra- mural department each year to the winner of the inter-fraternity speedball tournament, also having won the cup last fall. The Intramural department an- nounces that 56 teams have been entered in the inter-fraternity swimming tournament. To enter, a fraternity must make up a team of five men, who are required to compete in five events, including a game of water polo. The towing is to be conducted in the pool in the new intramural building.

Each of these miscues happened deep in Middy territory, but luckily none were converted. into scores. Joe Cliffton contributed the first fumble in the initial quarter, but luckily Gannon re- covered on Navy's 23 yard line for a first down after a race with Dahlem. The second oc- curred in the next period when Welchel fumbled Sim- rall's punt and Squier recov- ered. The chunky tackle scooped up the ball and lumbered to the Middy, 12 yard line before someone finally, brought him down, but the ball was called back under the newl ruling that a recovered punt can not be advanced beyond the point of recovery. Welchel again fumbled a punt on his own 30 yard mark in the third period, Pommeren- ing recovering, but the march toward the Navy goal was stop- ped temporarily when the Wolverines lost the ball on downs. Ii Following their decisive victory over Alma college Saturday, Coach Ray Courtwright gave his "B" team a rest yesterday in reward for their efforts. However, the week prom- ises to be a busy one, as the line-up will have to be altered to the loss of three players. With the promotion of Morris Hughes, Mike Geistert, and Tom Cooke to the Varsity squad, Coaches Courtwright and Brown are presented with the task of find- ing players to replace them. This many be difficult to do, especially in the case of Geistert. He played the best game of his collegiate car- eer against Alma, doing the major share of the ball carrying and gain- ing more than 100 yards from scrimmage. This was all the more remarkable in view of the bad con- ditions underfoot. Two Backs Are Transferred Hughes was lost to the junior varsity before the Alma game, as he went to Baltimore in place of Joe Gembis. His position was capably filled. by Jake Widman, who made several nice gains and did the kicking in Saturday's con- test. Don Wilson will probably re- turn to the squad this week, filling the vacancy left by Geistert. This will leave a strong backfield, with Lytle and Frank Brown completing the quartet. Cooke'ssberth at tackle will likely be assigned to Hager. Toledo University will provide the competition for the "B" team this Saturday, the final game of the seeason being scheduled for the Ohio city. To date the junior var- sity has won three of six games played, so this contest will deter- mine whether the team finishes the season above .500. Show Strong Offese A strong offense, lacking hereto- fore, was revealed against Alma, with Geistert the hub of the attack. The line also played well, holding for downs on the Michigan one- yard line in the first quarter. Sullo, Bill Brown, and Cooke were im- portant factors in this stand. Straight football accounted for the Michigan gains, trick plays and passes being resorted to on but few occasions. 1 I I 'URAFTR ALMA CONTEST "B" Team Takes Day Off After 33-0 Defeat of Alma; To Meet Toledo Saturday MUST REVAMP BACKFIELD Neither team enjoyed any suc- cess in kicking goals from the field, Navy missing three attempts and Michigan one.
