THE MICHIGAN DAILY I, r From the PRESS BOX By John Thomas Coach Capon Referee Traub Diver Dies Ray Aitenhof Wolverine Swimmers Meet Wildcats Here Tonigl Purple Natatorsl Seek To Avenge Previous Defeat ._._. Maize And Blue Ice Team Downs Marquette, 5- Ends Competition Here Hockey Outfit Beats Visitors; Tallies Twice '- ;, COACH FRANKLIN CAPPON'S row has been a difficult one to hoe this year. He has made a set of suc- cessful cagers out of a more or less inexperienced and uncertain bunch of ,aspirants. fI was not upset by the showing of the boys prior to the opening of the Conference games," he says. "They just weren't hitting the basket. The floor work was good enough." Cappon himself played eight years of basketball in high school and col- lege, and is in a position to know. He got started when he and his friends formed a club in eighth grade in Holland, Mich., and he's still with the game. He played guard on the Maize and Blue Varsity. As a gridder, he was extremely ver- satile, and tried his hand at most of the important posts - end, tackle, fullback, and halfback. Though a coach in two major sports, he confesses to more interest in the administrative side of ath- letics. "I came here when Tad Wei- man left his executive position, and then when Veenker left, I took over basketball. Yost was the man instru- mental in bringing me here," he said. His team this season hs come along just about as he expected it would. He expected about eight vic- tories to four defeats, or perhaps nine to three. "I'm still hoping it'll be nine to three," he remarked. "The injuries of Plummer and Al- tenhof are a real drawback. One would not have been so bad, but one righton top of another leaves us in a hole. None of the substitute guards have had experience, and I had to use- Petrie at forward.".. Coach Cappon is not tog, optimistic about next year's chances for success. "There will be only two men left, Plummer and Petoskey. All the rest have had practically no experience, and it will be a pretty green outfit." Cappon had other hobbies besides his athletic interests. He likes to work jig-saw puzzles, play bridge, and keep up onbcurrent fads.n'But at least it can be said I don't like gardening," he maintains. And then again, when he was in school here, he won the Conference scholastic medal in 1924. He's very modest about it, however. He says, "It's just because there were a lot of bums in my classes." MINNESOTA objected strenuously to Referee Clarence Traub, who handles the second Wolverine- Gopher hockey match. They thought that Fox, who worked the first game, was satisfactory. In defense of Traub we might out- line his own career. He has had three seasons with the old Detroit Cougars as a player. He was with the Chicago Blackhawks before that. He came east from the Saskatoon Sheiks along with George Hay, Honey Walker, and other veterans. This season he has been handling National and International League games, and his refereeing is well thought of by the league heads. T HE DEATH of a varsity diver from Rutgers University after he had struck his head on the diving board while doing a half-gainer has stirred considerable feeling among swimming enthusiasts and coaches throughout the whole country. The sentiment against such dives, compulsory for all low-board com- petition, is strong, and it is extreme- ly likely that the half-gainer, or Dutchman as it is sometimes known, and the back-spring-forward one- and-a-half will be removed as com- pulsory dives at the next meeting of the swimming committee of N. C. A. A.U. RAY ALTENHOF may not have ended his basketball career here yet, judging from Cappon's state- ment yesterday. For a while it looked as if the Gary star had already played his last game for the Maize and Blue. But Cappy said that it depended now upon how Ray felt. And Ray feels great. Probably never in his whole career has he wanted to play more than he does against Purdue Monday night. SWIMMING FANS will get a taste of real championship swimming tonight in the meet between North- western and Michigan. Several rec- ords are under fire before the guns of star natators. Capt. Schmieler, Marcus, Fenske, Kennedy Swim In Last Home Meet j Renner In Relays Reserved Seats Available At 4) Cents; General Admission Is 25 Cents In top condition after a week of intensive practice, Michigan swim- mers tapered off yesterday with a light work-out in final preparation for tonight's meet with Northwestern in the Intramural Pool. Reserved seat tickets for the meet were half sold at 5 p. m. yesterday, but some are still available at Harry Tillotson's office in the Administra- tion Building. General admission ickets will be available at the door before the meet, which is scheduled for 8 p. m. Last Home Meet Four Wolverine regulars will com- pete for the last time in the home pool tonight. Capt. Jimmy Schmieler will be leading his national cham- pions for the last time before they enter the Big Ten and national meets. Other swimmers who will not return next year are Frank Kennedy, distance star; Fred Fenske, sprinter and fancy diver; and Dan Marcus, a sprinter. The feeling among the Wolverines as they paddled about the pool yes- terday was that the meet would be close, much closer than the first en- gagement with the Wildcats when Michigan overwhelmed them 49 to 26. Schmieler went so far as to predict that the meet might be won or lost by a single point. One Lineup Change The entire squad is on its toes. They feel that if they can win to- night's meet they will be virtually certain of the Conference title, since the Wildcats are the only team con- ceded a chance to upset the present title holders. Coach Matt Mann has announced only one change in the lineup from the team that trimmed Northwestern two weeks ago. Dan Marcus and Henry Kanienski will swim the 100- yard free-style so that Bob Renner, who won the event at Evanston, can save himself for the two relays. Wolve Fencers Meet Spa rtans Here Totht Hoping to repeat its victory of earlier in the season, the Michigan fencing team will meet the Mich- igan State team at 7:30 p. m. tonight in the Intramural building. This meet will be the hardest that the Wolverines have had so far this season, according to the latest re- ports. The Spartan team is out to re- venge their defeat last January and are determined to take this meet. They will bring the strongest foils men in the state, Stonex and Glass, who, in the last meet, each took two out of their three foils bouts by large margins. Stonex is the star of the squad and performs exceedingly well in the foils and the sabre. Jimmy DeStefano, although slight- ly weakened by the attack of influ- enza that kept him from taking part in the meet earlier this week with the Detroit Turnverein Club, will be ready to show his stuff. The Wolve- rines, however, will be badly handi- capped by the loss of Al Little, a Var- sity sabre man, who became scho- lastically ineligible. His place will be taken by Wally Buhl, a sophomore, who has been coming along fairly well in the past two meets. Merriman and Nahrgang will split up two of the epee bouts while Captain Winig will take the other two. Veterans Star' Second Game Of Series Is Set For Tomorrow Evening At 8:45 By ALBERT It. NEWMAN Marquette's tiger - striped sextet} took a 5-1 beating from Michigan's hocket outfit here last night in a game at the Varsity Arena. The Mil- waukee outfit battled through sixty minutes of play, but failed to show talent sufficient to stop the Wol- verines, even though the Maize and Blue did not play above average form. Play Again Saturday Michigan and Marquette will slash again tomorrow night at the Varsity Arena. The game time has been; changed to 8:45 p. m. for that occa- sion so that spectators of the basket- ball game will have time to witness the whole of the ice contest. The result was an exhibition of fair hockey interspersed with flashes of excellent play, although Marquette seldom sparkled. Reid and Crossman! starred for the Wolves with two goals and one assist apiece. Sherf account- ed for one goal as he opened the scoring after only four minutes of play with a long shot from the left which took the upper right corner of the goal. Goalie Thomson failed to touch the shot. Aside from the brief excitement of; Matmen Invade Windy City For' Pair Of Meets Michigan's wrestlers will make their final bid of the season for an even break in dual competition when they met the Northwestern squad to- night at Patton Gymnasium, there.' The Wildcats have suffered only one defeat to date, losing to Illinois. They have defeated Ohio State and Chicago. The Wolverines have split their meets against Big Ten oppo- nents, downing Ohio, but losing to the National Championship Indiana team. Jimmy Landrum, Art' Mosier, Ed. Wilson, Harvey Bauss, and John Spoden will occupy their customary places in the Maize-and-Blue lineup. In the 155-pound match Mosier will go against Lowrey, Northwestern captain, while Bauss is 'slated to clash with Spencer, runner-up in the Big Ten meet last year, at 175. Thomas Recovered Captain Blair Thomas, fully re- covered from his illness, is to wrestle at 135; with Joe Oakley dropping back to the 125-pound class to clash with Seifert, Wildcat star. Saul Freedman, who made a favorable showing in his initial start as a Michigan wrestler last Saturday, will get the call at 145. On Saturday the team will uieet aonther strong aggregation in the Chicago Maroons. The Midway boys claim to have one of the best squads. of their wrestling history. They have lost one match, that to Northwestern, but have held the powerful Illinois squad to a tie. Hiclgan Conrien Hold F inal Practice Of Current Sea Twenty-two athletes, engaging i their last intensive practice sessic of the current hardwood season, wer sent through a scrimmage drill yep terday by Coach Cappon in prepara tion for the final games of the sea son against Indiana Saturday an Purdue Monday. To finish the schedule with a bur of speed and power is uppermost i the minds of the squad, and the mo spirited practices of the whole se: son seem to have been packed int the current week. In spite of the loss of Al Plummc and the injury of Ray Altenhc Coach Cappon is confident of tl ability of his proteges to con through and chalk up the final tv games in the win column. Altenhof engaged in yesterday scrimmage for a short while endear oring to limber up his injured sid but uncertainty prevails as Whether he will resume his regul: position at guard against the Hoo iers tomorrow night. In the scrimmage the regular lin up consisting of Eveland, Petri Garner, Altenhof, and Petoski found little difficulty in runnir through numerous combinations substitutes, and appeared to hai again reached the excellent for displayed at mid-season. Substitutions will be frequent the encounter with Indiana tomo row night if the regulars are ab to build up a substantial lead ax so give Coach Cappon a better li on his material for next year's squa Fred Fenske, Michigan swimmer and diver, will complete his home ca- reer tonight when he competes in fancy diving with Dick Degener against Wilke of Northwestern. He took second to Degener in the corn- petition with the Wildcats at Evan- ston two weeks ago. Varsity Track Men Off Today For T-ri-Meet Eighteen Wolverine tracksters will leave Ann Arbor at 5:15 p. m. today for their invasion of Champaign, where they will meet Illinois and Ohio State in a triangular meet to- morrow afternoon. The Hoytmen are slated to spend tonight in Chicago, going on to their destination in the morning. They will also return to spend Saturday night in Chicago. Travel is by train instead' of auto as was previously expected. Relays Are Objective The chief objective the coming week-end will be to win the two re- lays, mile and two-mile, each off which will give the winner 10 points. Should the Wolverines win either they will be in a fair way to take Keith Crossman, veteran center of Michigan's hockey machine, ' who starred with his teammate and co- captain Emmy Reid in the victory over Marquette here last night. Each player scoredtwice and gained credit for one assist. kept both teams below full power, and there was no scoring for fifteen minutes.

In last year's meet with the same teams, Michigan took 56 points to 36 for Illinois, the runner-up. Hoyt has not fully decided on the make-up of his relay teams, but if Ellerby is in condition, he, with Cap- tain DeBaker, Allen and Turner, will run the mile event. Turner, Lemen, Braden and either DeBaker or Allen will make up the two-mile team. In the other events, Ward and Kemp will run the dash; Howell and Childs, mile; Hill and McMillan, two mile; and Egleston and Pantlind the hurdles. Ward and Moisio will work in the high jump and Blumenfeld in the shot put with Damm, with per- haps Ward assisting him. Two Events Lacking Two events which have been on the Wolverine indoor program so far this year will be missing Saturday. They are the 440 and 880 yard runs. However, these events will not re- lieve the quarter and half-milers, as the extra relay will keep them busy. Light warm-up practice was held last night at the Field House as the tracksters went through their final drill of the week. The freshmen held the limelight as they ran off events in their telegraphic meet with the lini and Buckeye plebes. Desire To Do Well?
