THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fromthe PRESS BOX By John Thomas Outworn Traditions 'Sugar Did It' Michigan Help Ohio T IS TIME for useless, outworn tradition to go the way of all flesh-to the grave. We refer specifically to the custom of organized cheering and the band at basketball games. They are not worth their salt today, even though they. might have been some 20 years ago. Of the portion of the tuition that goes to the Athletic Association, 50 cents is turned over to the band. In return they are asked to play at th.e games, in full numbers. This arrangement might have been alright before Michigan went Har- vard, but why not recognize the fact today and alter the customs to meet the situations. The 1933 model of basketball bands is a small group of about 25 members called a "pep band." Of course it would be lowering Michigan's stand- ard of music to play aiything but "the old war horses," but the only reason that the band is called into the Field House to play is to offer amusement to the spectators. We feel that that amusement can be better supplied with timely ar- rangements of lighter music. Last year at the Purdue game, the crowd "Poop Pooped Purdue" all evening yet the band responded with Sousa's famous march. We felt at the time that with the light, happy feeling running through the crowd, the band could have offered better amusement. Falcone has only to look to the state where basketball is the most popular to find actual cases of "pep bands." If he can not see fit to brinig his basketball band up to date, then we feel that he should call it a l1ad job and let the bandmen go to the games in their civilian clothes and leave their instruments behind The same thing is true with cheer leading. The average Michigan crowd does not respond to the leader's at- tempts .and igiore them. Organized cheering is. giving way to individual heckling-something on the matter of radio heckling of a campaign speech, for the effort is usually lost .. * * "SUGAR DID IT." Olympic Crist climbed out of' the pool after swuinming the greatest quarter mile ever negotiated in the Intramural pool. Wt asked him about oxygen but he disclaimed any acquaintance with the stuff, looking fearfully at Oxygen Mann as he did so, His teammates discovered the true reason for his record-breaking 440. Jim found a box of sugar cubes in somebody's locker downstairs and ab- sorbed about half the box before en- tering the water.; In the race Ironhorse Schmieler led for the first 200 yards in the time of 2:23 which was too good to last while Corky's 2:24.4 was almost as phenomenal. Schmieler dropped be- hind when Corky challenged at the half-way mark. But that was only the beginning. Cristy sprinted as if he were only swimming the 100 as he neared the finish line. His astounded teammates could only mutter, "Sugar did it." And now Oxygen Mann has turned Sugar Mann. He goes around with his pockets full of sugar like a stable- Man. He even promised to have a bushel of the cubes ready forte Wildcat meet next week.. There isn't anotherkman in the swimming firmament this year who can clip 10 seconds ofT the Big Ten mark and come within two seconds of National as Jim did Thursday. T HE FENCING TEAM'S victory over the University of Detroit last Thursday places it in first place for the hazy title of champions of the state. It was the fourth victory in a row for the Wolverines over the most outstanding teams in Michigan, in- cluding Michigan State, Detroit Turnverein Club, and Monroe Fenc- ing Club. F OHIO STATE wins the Big Ten basketball title, they can thank Michigan for the championship, al- though the two teams did not play each other. Iowa, on a two-game jaunt, had enough to beat Michigan but not' enough to stay with Ohio in the sec- ond game of the week-end for 60 minutes. They stayed with Ohio, 14-13 at the half, but cracked when Bastian was taken out of the game by fouls. The Daily Iowan attributes their defeat to their previous hard game with Michigan. EN AVANT *sr f rwrd f 9R Gophers Beat Wolves 5-2; Second Game Tonig _. Michigan Outfit Loses Title In HockeyThriller Small Gophers Outspeed Maize And Blue Sextet; Force Reckless Play Scanlon Is Star Minnesota Goalie Turns In Fine Performance As Shots Shower . By JOHN THOMAS SPEED! SPEED! SPEED! A fran- tic last period that produced four goals of the 5 to 2 score. Minnesota clinched the Big Ten championship at the Michigan Arena last night by rallying last in the final period and kept back the rushes of five Wolve- rine icemen in the closing minutes while a crowd of 1,800 were kept on their feet, shouting until they were hoarse, with excitement. The third period was the supreme of excitement. The big rink and its capacity crowd simply went wild. Sel-l dom have the fans here been treated to such a sight as last night's game. The Gophers presented a differ- ent method of defense to what we have been seeing lately. They are fast enough to start back-checking at center ice. Their lob shots, while not used in the professional leagues to any great extent, are hard ones for a goalie to handle and when they do score, are cheap ways of getting the points. First Period Opening the first period, both teams played careful hockey, each feeling the other out. Play went from one enid of the ice to the other, but neither tea mseemed to be able to break away until Emmy Reid took the puck from his own red line and carried the rubber in. Partially blocked by Carsen, the shot was one of those that just trickles through, under the foot of goalie Scanlon, be- tween him and the net. It went through Scanlon after 16 minutes, 45 seconds.. Second Period The second period opened with a letermined Minnesota team bucking Michigan for a goal by Russ early in ;he period, by following in rebound. Both teams settled down to some aice hockey and the Michigan com- Sination Reid to Crossman to Reid was working smoothly. Coach Lowrey was using his usual strategy and when Sherf went in during this pe- riod, he and Crossman peppered the Minnesota goalie. David was very ef- fective in back checking the fast- breaking Gopher line. After 18 minutes of hair-raising hockey Minnesota got possession of the rubber at their own end of the ice and on a quick shot from within the Michigan red-line. Shot one tick- eted for a twine sagger, but Johnny Jewell made a superb save. The re- bound was long and another Minne- sota man shot. Jewel, lying on the ice, again saved the goal but the second rebound was recover~di by Aurmis who drove iin ito the net. Third Period With the score 2-1 against them, the Wolverines simply bombarded Scanlon from every angle. The pos- sibility of a tic for the Big Ten lead- ership looked as if it was a possibility until, from a scramble in front of the Michigan goal, Johnson sagged the twine after a rather fluky pass from Carsen. Then the fun started. From then to the end of the game, Michigan threw a four-man forward line against the Gopher Swedes and what a time the crowd had! Minnesota' penalties for roughing and cross- checking did not give any oppor- tunity to connect. Reid. on a solo rush after 14 minutes of play, sent one of his bullet shots into the net and the score stood 3 to 2. With Gabler, David, Sherf, and Reid on the forward line and Ted Chapman playing well up toward center ice, Johnson broke away fast and had only Jewell to beat, putting the game on ice for the Gophers. A minute later Gray pulled the same trick and made the score 5 to 2. Al- though the capacity crowd was on its feet shouting and Reid, Crosman, & Co., were playing as never before. Michigan could not score again and1 the game ended, 5 to 2.1 Wolverine Matmen To Clash W ith Indiana Tod Hoosier Team Will End Home Wrestling Card National Champions To Give Maize And Hardest Test Duc Blue The toughest assignment of the. year awaits the Michigan wrestling team when they clash with Indiana in Yost Field House at 4 p. m. this afternoon. The Hoosiers hold the Conference and National team championships, while several individual title-holders. will also be in the lineup. The meet will mark the final home appearance of the Wolverine matmen. Jimmy Landrum will clash with Bush in what should be the best match of the afternoon. Bush is' understudy to Aldrich, last season's Indiana captain, and national cham- pion, and has been filling his prede- cessor's shoes well. Landrum has won three of his four matches. The bout will be at 126 pounds. . A shakeup of the Maize-and-Blue team will send Seymour Rubin against Co-captain Hawkins in the 126-pound go. Rubin was thrown by Carl Tiffany, Ohio State star last week in his only start, although he was wrestling at 135 pounds at the time. Hawkins was a member of the title-winning Indiana team of last year. Oakley Shifted Joe Oakley will be shifted out of his usual class to meet Devine at 135. Devine is a student of Eddie Belshaw, Big Ten and national champ of last year, and the wrestler voted the best all-around man at the national meet. . The other Indiana Co-captain, Ed- die Goings, will grapple in the 145- pound meet. Ifwis or Freidman will represent the Wolverines in this match, the choice being made just before the meet. Art Mosier, fully re- covered from his injured knee, is slated to meet Brown or Neal at 155. Michigan's leg-scssoTs. artist Ed Wilson will meet either McDonald, runner-up in the 1932 Conference meet or Gillam, a brilliant Hoosier sophomore who has several times bested McDonald. Louis Parker appears to be going to replace Harvey Bauss at 175. His opponent will be Voliva, who has a fall over Hess, Olympic 175-pound champion. In the heavyweight meet John Spoden will clash with Bob Jones. New Program Carded In 1-M Department Independent athletics in the in- tramural department are again on the upturn. In a new program, in- augurated by that department, there are several events new to the de- partment carded. These new events are swimming and wrestling which have appeared on the intramural card for the first time this year. The first event on the program is the independent bowling tournament. The competition begins next Monday and continues until March 7th. This event is a team event and there are about 10 teams entered in the tournament already. The second event on the new pro- gram is the Independent Relays. This event is also one of team com- petition. The entries in this track meet are four man teams. Handball and wrestling are the next two meets carded in the new series. Handball competition begins March 7 and the date of completion of the matches has not been set as yet. The entries in the handball tournament are team entries, each team consisting of four men. Wres- tling starts Thursday, March 9th. Anyone desiring to enter any of these sports, either as a team or as an individual, should call the Intra- mural department. Women To Play Off Ping- Pong Round This Week First-round matches for the wo- men's campus ping-pong champion- ship must be played off by Saturday, March 4. The winner of each match is responsible for seeing that the match score is put on the bulletin at Barbour Gymnasium. Players must use the official serv- ice, and may play on any official table on the campus. Atn, Arbor School Wins 5-A Contest With a 41-23 win over Battle Creek ' last night in the local gym, Ann Ar- bor High's basketball team assured itself of no worse than second place and a possible tie for first in the 5-A league final standings. The victory last night also assures Ann Arbor of another crack at the state title, as the winner and runner-up in the1 league go to the preliminaries of the championship quest. Cagers Oppose Boilermakerts' Speedy Quintet Varsity Swimmers To Give Exhibition Petrie Will Be Forward Posi Place Of Plum it mer In Left Lion In Intent on giving Purdue a similar dose of what was handed the Chicago basketball team here Monday night, the Wolverine quintet entrained for Lafayette yesterday afternoon, where they will meet the speedy Boiler- maker outfit in tonight's major Big Ten game. Realizing t h a t inaccurate ball handling was instrumental in the de- feat administered them by the Uni- versity of Iowa five, last Saturday the Maize and Blue has shown deter- mined interest throughout the week's practice sessions to correct the fault and go through the rest of the sea- son undefeated. Smooths Offense s a a a . University of Michigan swimmers will make their second public ap-' pearance in two days this afternoon at 2:30. when they will give an ex- hibition during the course of the second Open Swimming Meet to be held in the Intramural Pool. Competition in the meet will be largely between local grade and high school students but the exhibition by Capt. Schmieler's record-wrecking National champs should provide plenty of entertainment. Jim Cristy is still tired after his record shattering 440 on Thursday and will probably loaf today, but Schmieler is still smarting from the drubbing he took in that same race and will try once more to achieve one of his life-long ambitions and break five minutes for the quarter mile. Admission to the meet will be the same as for the State meet, 25 cents for both students and townspeople. A diving exhibition by Dick Deg- ener and a group of fresman divers who showed remarkable form on Thursday will be another feature, while the crowning event of the pro- gram will be a water-polo game be- tween the Varsity and a Faculty team made up by professors and would-be's. It will be the Varsity's last public appearance before the Northwestern meet here next Friday night. Thin adsAreT Hold Time Trial This Afternoo Fresh from victory in the State A. U. meet, Michigan tracksters v run through their paces again at field house this afternoon. Toda time-trials will determine the squ which will -reepresent the Wolveri in the Illinois-Ohio State-Michig triangular meet at Urbana next S urday. Coach Hoyt will take so 15 or 20 men on the trip. The performance of the Maize a Blue. thinclads in Thursday nig: meet was highly satisfactory. In field of _close to 150 the Hoytr took six first places, five secon three thirds and four fourths fo total of 55 points. This against competition represented is good any man's track. Ward Outstanding Willis Ward, Michigan's one-r track team, was the outstanding i former of the evening.

Michig Imile rlay, tean .(Lemen, Turner, In scrimmaging the freshman team Wednesday afternoon the Varsity re- vealed exceptionally smooth offensive power, which if clicking against Pur- due should boost Michigan's Confer-. ence victories to seven. "Fire-wagon" basketball will op- pose Michigan's somewhat slower game, and Coach Cappon has been spending no little time in tuning up the Wolverine defense to cope with this type of play. Against Northwestern the Boiler- makers were behind 25 to 10 at one time, but unleashed their fast break- ing and powerful scoring offense and gradually cut down the Purple's lead to win out 42 to 40. Petrie Replaces Plummer I Since the injury of Al Plummer, Petrie has been working very effec-l tively at left forward, and, accordingf to Coach Cappon, will probably start at left forward. The squad that leftt for Lafayette yesterday consisted of the following -men: Eveland, Petrie,j Garner, Altenhof, Petoskey, Oliver, Teitlebaum, Fishmian, and Allen.

OFFICIAL i)U'tY ESCAPES Walter Powell, Southern Confer- ence football official, was excused from jury duty in Atlanta city court, when he explained to the presiding' judge he was scheduled to officiate at a game in Mississippi. enior Sextet Seeks Revenge Over Detroiters Culminating a long series of in- tensive drill and an introduction to intercollegiate play, the senior wo- men class team will meet an aggre- gation from Detroit representing the Detroit Extension Course women in their last appearance this morning. The game will be played on the De- troiters' floor., The battle will be a return engage- mient, as shortly before the begin- ping of the examination period the teams met in Ann Arbor. The re- sult of the game was a win by. a narrow margin for the invaders. Genevieve Lawson is captain of the Maize and Blue sextet, and success- fully led her teammates to a victory over Michigan State last week-end. The seniors are out for revenge, and will have the advantage of experi- ence behind them. ' A world's en - arance record lh s been set in a walkathon now being held in the city of Chicago.
