AY, JANUARY 26, 1932 _ T MICIGA TL -'- agers CommencePractice for Strong Ohio 11E9LB AFTER LOSS NGOPHER(CURT JIlness of Hank Weiss Puts Him off Form, Weakening Defense of Wolverine Team. BUCKEYES ARE STRONG Capt. Norm Daniels Continues Scoring Pace Against Minnesota Quintet. After experiencing the biggest upset of the Big Ten season to date at Minneapolis last Saturday night when the Gophers took them down, 30 to 26, the Wolverines went1 through a rigorous scrimmage ses- ssion yesterday in preparation for their invasion of the Buckeye state an Thursday. The reverse at Minnesota evened the series between the two teams as the Wolverines annexed the first ' game in Ann Arbor. The Gophers had. a smooth working defensive machine on the floor Saturday which held the Michigan basket jshooters in better fashion than it did in the earlier encounter. Hank Weiss Off Form. Michigan was slightly handicap- ped in this second engagement by the illness of its Ss tellar g u ard Hank Weiss, who had .been suffer- nrNA ing from. an ail- i e n t the two ±x Y YYdays previous to the g ame, and a who was not up r F '°to'his usual form. With Weiss off his regular form the Michigan defense, WEISS which worked al- most to perfec- tion in the Illinois game last Mon- day, was considerably weakened and the Gopher guards were able Ato sink the two wiinning tallies in the closing minutes of play break- Ing a 26-26 tie. Captain Norm Daniels and Eve- land, Michigan's sharp shooters, kept the s c o r e .k. on even ter ms throughout th< e game, coming >':Y through with ral- les everytimev t i a t Minnesota .{ managed to forge L, a h e ad. ,Daniels L kept up his re-x .L mnarkable scoring, chalking up a to- tal of nine points. '. His running mate, DANIELS Eveland, accounted for eight tal- lies. After a -slow start Michigan oaugh up to the Gophers and bat- tled on even terms for the remain- der of the game. Guards ,Supply Punch. Minnesota's forward Robinson looked good against the Wolves chalking up eight points,while the guards, Licht and Cielusak, ac- counted for 13 tallies between them. It was this defense combination '"which supplied the punch for the Gopher vicry and also held the Cappon, aggregation in check. The Wolverines will be meeting one of the strongest quintets in the conference when' theyedgo n the floor Thursday night in Columbus. R q Ohio State has dropped only one ga'me in four Big Ten starts and tht as by aone point margin to Northwestern last Saturday.

Despite the fact that tank stars of Detroit Yacht Club forced an even division of honors as far as first places in the individual events were concerned, with three each, the Wolverine natators were able to chalk up a rather listless victory over the Auto City swiinmers last week-end. The score was 45-30. As far as action was concerned the water polo game which follow- ed the meet proved more of a thril- ler with the Michigan team drown- ing the D. Y. C. boys in their home pool for the", first time in history. Capt. Miller, Kennedy, Smith, Le- mak, Marcus, Schmeiler and Drys- dale made up the teams which took a 11-5 victory. -Michigan also won both medley and free style relayj events.'- Former Will Also Pl y in Finals of Water Polo Th rney By Charles A. Sanford Theta Chi's tank stars will be in the finals again tonight, seeking a pair of championships, in dual swimming and water polo, the lat- ter for the second year. They have their work cut out for them though, because Lambda Chi Alpha in the dual meet and Alpha Kappa Lamb- da in the polo have strong aggre- gations. The swimming will be at 8 o'clock in the Intramural pool and P THRE TS the water polo game will follow im- I mediately afterward. The swimming meet is really a toss-up after a careful analysis of the teams. Theta Chi's lineup in- cludes Townsend and Williams in the 25-yard free style; Earle'and Eiserman in the 25-yard bhek- stroke; Hartwell and Howell in the' 25-yard breast stroke; Earle' and Howell in the diving; and Hartwell, Townsend, Williams, and Eiserman swimming the 100-yard relay. Against these Lambda Chi Alpha will send Richard Snyder and Art Wilson in the free style; Bob Sny- der and Niehus in the back; Ashton and Mohrhoof, breast stroke; Ash- ton and Kagay in the diving; and a relay team of both Snyders, Wilson, and Kagay. JACKSON Although the New York Giants have been experiencing consider- able holdout trouble this winter, their worries were greatly lessened Saturday when Travis Jackson, their captain and brilliant short- stop, came to terms. Terry, Fitz- simmons and' Fullis still remain unsigned. UNIVERSITY HIGH HAS GOOD RECORD Cagers Are Impressive Despite Loss of Captain Goss. I University High School's basket-. ball team, runners-up in last year's Class-C State Tournament,( have; started their season auspiciously with a series of six straight victor-' ies in as many contests. The nar- rowest margin of safety in any fame so far was two points. In Huron League. The Wolverine cubs are members of the Huron League, a conference of eight schools in surrounding towns, which has been organized for only two years. University High has come out on top in the basket- ball competition for both years, and with four league wins already safely stowed away this year, the Purple and Gold seems headed for another title, with fair chances in the State competition. Captain Injured. Handicapped by tht slow conval- escence of Kelly Goss, captain and star forward, who was injured in an auto crash last spring, Coach Fred East has worked intensively since November in producing a smoothly working combination for the. title race. Captain Goss, al- though out of school, attends all the practices and aids the mentor materially in coaching the greener inembers of the squad. The acting captaincy from week to week is shifted by appointment of Coach East efore each game. The first boasts but one veteran, Nesbitt Haas, a forward, who with McCal- lum, a guard, holds scoring honors for the season to date, The other three members of the starting quin- tet, Glas, Daugherty, and Howell, were either reserves or second team players last year. Not contented with the victories among schools of their own class, the Wolverine cubs schedule games with class A and. B schools nearly every season. Among the larger schools who have succumbed at j-various times to U. High's aggress I sive five are Fordson High of Dear- born, and Ferndale High of De- troit. M Lack Fighting Spirit. It was not that Michigan was bad, but more lack of competitive spirit which slowed the times dpwn, but Drysdale and Schmeiler did coime through' with excellent per- formances in the backstroke and 220 respectively. Schmeiler turned in a time of 2:18 for the 220, but lost to Curtis of Detroit in the 50- yard sprint, an event in which he .rarely competes: Drysdale defeated Howlett, Yacht Club star back- stroker, for a first in this event at 1:42. Capt. Miller lost a heartbreaking duel in the breaststroke to his old rival McClellan. It was only a mat- ter of a touch at the finish which decided the winner, The time was 2:40. Degener in Goqd Form. Besides Schnmeiler and Drysdale, Degener also took a first place by continuing his championship form in the diving events. This sopho- more is one of the prettiest divers in' the middle west and the water will be plenty warm when the Northwestern divers attempt to outdo him in the Conference meet. Oxley and Schurig of Detroit took the next two places. This will be the last strenuous meet for the Wolves before the lay- off for final exams this week with the exception of a light exhibition for the benefit of swimming fans over at Jackson high school Wed- nesday night. 200-yard relay-Won by Michigan (Fenske, Marcus, Schmeiler and Smith).

(Speria l to Te aily) BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 25.- Members of the Indiana University track teams which have built up a national reputation in the last few years will make -strong bids for positions on the United States1 Olympic' team this spring. Nine former Crimson stars are already in intensive training for the spring trials. Fur of these are Indiana stars of, a few years ago while the rest are undergraduates who are putting the finishing touches on their form before the opening of the indoor season against Ohio State here Feb. 13. Among the veterans of past years who. are training in the Indiana field house .daily, is Wilmer Rine- hart, College Corner, 0., former na- tional javelin throw champion and universal all-American track 'team choice for the 1928 season. Rinehart held the world's record in the jave- lin throw for a time.' Jimmy Hatfield, Washington,the hurdle sensation' on the Indiana team last year and holder of num- erous titles and records, is another Olympic threat. Hatfield has re- sumed training following a few months of intensive work for his degree in Medicine. Snyder Favored. The free style will lie between Townsend, who has made it in 12, and Snyder, who has clocked 12:02, -not mucY edge. In the back stroke Bob Snyder has done 15 to the best time of 17 for Earle, which gives the Lambda Chis an edge. In the next event though, Theta Chi evens it lip with -Hartwell, defending In- tramural champion, who has clock- ed 14:08, as against Ashton, whose best time. has been 15. The diving is indefinite for Earle has led to date with 25 points but Kagay is plose behind with 24. It looks like the relay will decide the meet, and there's the question. The Laynbda Chi outfit has done the event in 49:02 this year, while Theta Chi has not bettered 50; but Eiserman is the only new man on the latter's title holders of last year. Now take your pick! Theta Chi Has Edge. t The water polo game will be close but' Theta Chi has the edge by vir- tue of four straight wins in which their' opponents have not scored, while A.K.L. allowed Phi Gamms to get 3 points in the semi-finals. 'ssaH sapnput dmu as,101rwads Knapp, and Friend as forwards; Baumbaugh, center; Chase and Wise, guards; and Berker, goalie. Norm Knapp has been the scoring star to date and is their ace in the hole. Theta Chi's team includes Tdwn- send, Hartwell and Williams, for- wards: Howell, center: Patterson and Earle, guar ; and Eiserman, goalie. Hartwell, Williams and How- ell have been the star scorers for them and should throw the balance in' favor of Theta Chi tonight. International tennis has lost one I of the most spectacular net stars of all time with the announcement' by Jean Borotra that he will not be a member of the French Davis Cup team this summer. The 33 year old salesman of gaso- line pumps has "decided that busi- ness and his advancing age will not , permit him to spend the time that it is necessary to devote to train- ing to be able to participate in the matches Tilden holds Edge. Followers of the net game have, classed Borotra as one of the out- standing tennis players of his age, and they remember many matches in which he has participated, espe- cially spectacular being the many matches in which he opposed "Big. Bill" Tilden. Tilden has always had the edge over the "Bounding Bas- que," but the enthusiasm he has displayed and his court tactics have won for him the sympathy of the crowd. He is, along with Tilden, one of the greatest showmen of inter- national tennis. His bouncing style of play and his cheerfulness have made him a favorite with the fans. Last winter, when there was a great deal of speculation about reports that he would leave the amateur ranks to join the Tilden Tennis Tours, there was much joy in tennis circles over the prospect of a re- newal of these great battles 'be- tween the two old rivals. However, Borotra decided to devote one more year to Davis Cup competition be- fore retiring from competition. May Weaken French. The passing of Borotra may pre- sage the waning of the French star in the Davis Cup circles, as many: experts contend that either Great' Britain or the United States will win the world's most famous cup this year. Speculation has been rife over the possibility of Cochet turn- ing professional soon, and with these two of the "old guard" gone, France would have to depend on youngsters to defend the cup this summer. injuries to Keep Veteran Player on Sidelines i Next Semester.
