Coach George F. Veenker, hea(
basketball coach and assistan
football coach at Michigan, has re-
signed from the Michigan athletic
staff to accept a position as hea
fotball mentor at Iowa State Co
lege, at Ames, Iowa, according t
an announcement made public b
the coach himself yesterday.
Coach Veenker will remain wit
the University of Michigan coach-
ing staff for the remainder of the
present season , and will continu
to act in the capacity of instructoi
in the Michigan summer school oi
coaches until next September, when
he will assume his new duties at
Iowa State.
Loss to Mhigan.
The resignation of Coach Veen-
ker will be a great loss to -he Mih-
igan coaching staf. For the past
five years he has been a valuable
aid to the head football coach, and
for the past three seasons has
guided the destinies of the Maize
and Blue quintet.
Veenker has made many friends
throughout the Western Conference
as well as at Michigan, and was
well satisfied with his position
here, but he has alwoys desired to
be a head football coach, and the
opportunity came when T. N. Met--
calf, Director of Athletics at Iowa
State College, offered him the posi-
tion of head gridiron mentor.
Veenker stated yesterday that he
greatly regretted leaving Michigan
because of the large number of
friends and acquaintances he had
made during his five year stay here.
He also expressed himself as re-
luctant to give up his work with
the present basketball team, most
of the members of which will be
returning to play again next year.
To Coach Football.
The resigning mentor is recog-
nized as an excellent football coach
with a thorough knowledge of the
game. He is conceded to be one of
the most able gridiron scouts in the
game today. His ability to analyze
opponents' plays and formations
has been of great assistance to the
Michigan gridders Many of the
Wolverine elevens own formations
and plans of attack that have been
the result of Veenker's efforts.
In. his first year as head basket-
ball coach, Veenker sent his quintet
of cagers through the Conference
season with but two losses to finish
in a tie with Wisconsin for the
Conference championship. The fol-
lowing year the Wolverine lost but
four games, but this was not good
enough to win the title, and the
Michigan five had to be content
with a fifth place in the standing.
Again this year the Wolverines
have lost several games, but the
squad is composed almost exclusive-
ly of sophomores, and still has a
good chance of ending up near
the top of the ratings.
Jack Malloy, from North Adams,
Mass., is called the best all-around
athlete at West Point. He has col-
lected two letters each in football
basketball, baseball and track.

face each other, as the champion-
ship usually goes to one of the two.
The always powerful Wolver-
ine swimrming aggregation has
lost but one dual meet in six
years and that was when the
Wildcats scored a 3'7-32 tri-
umph in 1929 in the new In-
tramural pool. The meet was
a fierce one, but the Michigan
tankmen later redeemed them-
selves and avenged their defeat
at the hands of the Purple by
swamping their opponents in
the all-Conference to walk off
with the Big Ten champion-
ship.
In the following year, 1930, the
Wolves and Wildcats reversed the
whole procedure, Northwestern
carrying off the honors in the all-
Conference affair, after the Michi-
gan tankers had beaten them in
the previous dual meet, 40-35. Com-
ing back in the championship con-

The Maroon mile relay team,
composed of Letts, Cameron. Iay-
don, and Bibbs, is rated as their
biggest threat. Last week in a meet
with the Iowa tracksters, the Chi-
cago quartet ran away with the
event. They are rated as one of the
best baton passers in the Big Ten
competition.
Letts Wins Mile.
Letts also took a first in the mile
run, tying with his own teammate,
Brainard. They turned in a ,time
of 4:30.8, which looks well for
Wolfe of the Maize and Blue squad,
who chalked up a time of 4:26.7 in
the opening meet last Saturday.
Wolfe, however, will have to be at
his best, for Letts is one of tne best
runners in the college ranks and
can lower his time to around 4:20
when the opposition demands it.
Eddie Tolan. who has been add-
ing new laurels to his already
I famous name, will also find some
real competition in Captain East
of the visiting Maroons. East ran
the 60 in :6.3 in the Iowa meet
while the best Tolan could do was
:6.4 last week.
Austin Favored.
Austin seems to have the two
mile event cinched if he can repeat
his record breaking performance of
last week, for Kelley of Chicago
has not been able to do the grindI
in the Michigan man's lace. Cam-
eron and Brainard also star for the
Maroons in the half and quarter
mile runs respectively. Turner of
Michigan can be depended upon to
take the 880 event, for the best
time that Chicago has turned in
yet is 2:5, .
The quarter mile will probably
go to Chicago unless Russell can
improve his time. Eknovich, Glad-
ding, and DeBaker will also be
pushing the pace setter in this
event. Michigan is going to be woe-
fully weak in the high jump and
shot put events, but as the situa-
tion stacks up now, the Maize and
Blue should muster enough team
points to run off with the meet.
