Faulty passing and inaccurate shooting marked the play of the Var- siy The absence of Ray Altenhof and Fred Allen may have hampered te regulars, although Coach Cappon minimized this factor. Time and again the first five worked the ball into scoring posiiton only to lose the ball and a scoring opportunity as well. The score of the contest was 28-8 in favor of the Varsity in the first workout against the freshmen. The second was also won by the regu- lars by a score of,::: ;,"..: 22-8.

As a result of the showing to date, the starting lineup remains in doubt. Ostrander Chosen To Captain 1933 Varsity Harriers Robert A. Ostrander, '34, Luding- ton, was named captain of the 1933 cross-country team in a meeting of the letter winners Tuesday night. Ostrander was outstanding in all of the Michigan meets this year, be- ing the first Wolverine to cross the finish line in the Conference race. He succeeds Capt. Roger S. Howell, '33. Bill Hill is the only other letter winner lost to the team. The closing of the harrier season marked the commencement of win- ter track activities. Close to 100 men are working out nightly in the Field House under Coach Charlie Hoyt. This is the biggest turnout in recent years, and, along with the fact that only a few men were lost to the team by graduation, is a favorable indica- tion of a successful season. The track candidates are confining their workouts mainly to condition- ing exercises, and serious work will not be attempted until after the Christmas holidays. Coach Hoyt an- nounced that the first group practice of the season will be held Saturday, Dec. 10, at 3 p. m. The winter track schedule is not completed as yet, but the first meet will not be held until early in the second semester.

ARONSTAM With most football schedules com- pleted by this time, we find in the report of the National Bureau of Cas-1 tialty and Surety, that despite thej added safeguards in the rules, death again took a heavy toll of football players. The records showed that thirty-seven succumbed to injuries,, eleven less than the 1931 aggregat/ of fifty. Of the thirty-seven dead, five were, college players,.seventeen high school players, and the remainder were sand-lot, semi-pro, and club team players. Stricter officiating an d better coaching made the new -rules passed last spring more successful in or- ganized college and university con- ferences. Better medical attention and stric- ter adherence to the rules might have avoided most of the fatalities which resulted in high school and sand-lot games. Of the five college players who suc- cumbed to football injuries, Ralph McClure of Colorado College, whose neck was broken in the game against the University of Colorado, was the only one hurt during a regularly scheduled contest. Each year, there are at least 400,- 000 high school boys, 50,000 college men, and unestimated thousands more on unorganized teams, that play football. Organized professional football did not have any fatally injured men this year, or men who were even ser- iously injured, despite the fact that The swimming meet was a tie untilr he last event, the relay race, whicht was taken by Theta Chi in the new ecord time of 47 seconds. The for- mer record was 47.1 also by Theta Chi made in an earlier meet this 'ear. The first race was the 25 yard 1 free style won by Haughey of PsiG Upsilon. Townsend of Theta Chi came in second, just ahead of Jack-c on of Psi U. The 25 yard backstrokeI was won by Boice, Theta Chi;c Fischer of Psi U. was second with Mfiller of the Thetas third. The 25- yard breaststroke was a tie for first between Dobson and Hartwell, the1 former of Psi Upsilon and the lat- I ter from Theta Chi. Third place was taken by Jennette of Theta Chi.1 Diving honors were given to Dobson,1 Psi Upsilon, who received 20 out of four dives. Second and third places were given to Rogers and Earle re- spectively, both from Theta Chi. At this point, the score was tied and the result of the meet depended upon the relay. Theta Chi won the event in record tmie and as a re- sult, won the meet and the cham- pionship of the University. The final score was 23-18 in favor of Theta Chi. Dobson, Psi Upsilon, was high scorer of the meet with 9 points. Theta Chi won the final game of water polo by the close score of 1-0. The goal was made late in the first half by Miller, who threw the ball over half the length of thie pool to score the winning tally. In the first half, Theta Chi was decidedly better in passing and all-around teamwork. However in the second half, Psi Upsilon came out deter- mined to win and managed to put up a better fight than their °oppo- nents. Bennett, goalie for Theta Chi, played a heads up game. There was one moment when he held off a heavy assault upon the goal against three opponents. Captain Dobson of Psi Upsilon and Captain Hartwell and Miller of Theta Chi were the outstanding men in the game in the matter of offense while Bennett and Jackson, the two goalies, also did good defense work. Matt Mann ref- ereed the game. they still play under the old rules, which permit flying wedges, and fly- ing tackles and blocks. From these facts, it is obvious that the new rules, designed to ward off any large casualty list, cannot gain in effectiveness unless there is closer adherence to the rules by officials, better medical attention, and better coaching.
