Prospects are brigh kfor
Varsity swimming team
Coliseum tonight, The Coliseum is
located at Hill street and Fifth ave-
nue, and the contest is slated to be-
gin at 8 p. m.
The Canadians will present a well-
balanced and seasoned aggregation
which started on its winning season
'several weeks ago. Since then, ac-
cording to report, games have been
won from several Toronto outfits of
no mean repute.
According to Coach Ed Lowrey,
Michigan mentor, it is extremely"
doubtful whether the Wolves can,
cope successfully with a team of the
calibre of Western Ontario, since
Canada's ice teams are generally ac-
corded an edge over the representa-
tives of the United States.
Use Same Lineup
The same lineup as that used in
he last game will probably start for
the Maize and Blue. Neil Gabler,
st? lar defense man, remains ineligi-
ble and John Sherf, sophomore wing,
will ag.in be pressed into service at
the left defense post, where he per-
formed very creditably last week as
the Wolverines downed a potentially
powrful Chatham club, 6 to 2.
Shrt alternates at left wing with
Co-Captain Reid, and thus both men
are kept fresher with frequent pe-
riods of rest. This contributed large-
hi to the success of the attack in the
last contest.
Crossman At Center
Co-Captain Keith Crossman will
agi dart at center, and he is re-
potd in better condition to play
than last Tuesday. David, whose
baok-checklng was a feature of the
Chatham victory, will again start at
right wing, while the veteran Chap-
vaneill hold down right defense.
Jack Jewell, whose recent discovery
as a goalie comparable to Jack Tomp-
kins delighted local fans, will defend
the net. This completes Michigan's
lineup. Artz, Courtis, and Stewart
will relieve the Wolverine iron men.
A large crowd is expected due to
last year's contest with the Canadian
university in which some good hockey
was displayed.

for the Rose Bowl classic.
In 1929, while at the University of,
Pittsburgh, the Panthers met Cali-

After a year's absence from school]
she enrolled at Alabama and the
team from that school battled Wash-
ington State at Pasadena.
This year she returned to Pitt and
now the Panthers are going west
again. Miss Half said she hasn't de-7

added, "I'm open for bids." Big Ten1

the most effective passing and scor-
ing combinations of American col-
legiate hockey.
State Accepts Bid
For Women's Net
Interclass S e r 1 e s
Reports of the approval of inter-
class intercollegiate basketball games
between the women of the University
of Michigan and Michigan State Col-
lege have been verified. The games
will be post-season contests, sched-
uled temporarily for the middle of
February,
Michigan began the agitation for
these games early this fall. It has
long been the hope of local fans to
match the ability of Michigan wom-
en with those of other schools, but
only this year has it become possible
to consider it. Communications were
sent to Michigan State, Western
State, and Ypsilanti, and of these
only Michigan State has given a def-
inite acceptance.
Games will be between the fresh-
man, sophomore, junior and senior
classes of the two schools. Michigan
will make the trip to, Lansing this
year, with the possibility of a return
series on the Ann Arbor courts later
oil.
The squads are working out every
afternoon at Barbour gym, and will
be cut after vacation in preparation
for the local interclass tourney.

The day of football teams made
up of beef only has passed. The
Four Horsemen of Notre Dame
proved this without a doubt when
they flew around the chunky lines
and slow backs for touchdowns.
Golfers are big and small. Some
weigh over 200 and some under 125.
This is the same with tennis, soccer,
boxing, and all along the line.
But in basketball height is extra-
important. Because of this, Big Ed
Garner can command considerable
attention. His height gives him a
great advantage over all opponents
for his center position. However,
other considerations can overcome
this, but in itself it is of supreme
importance.
On the other hand, Don Black,
who is a superior athlete in
many respects, can not command as
much attention from basketball
coaches because of his short stature.
He is fast, one of the best floor men
on the squad, has a fair eye, and is a
clever defensive player, yet without
height he is not one of the favorites
for a forward berth.
"DEAR EDITOR: When I read in
the papers about the miracle
coach, Howard Jones, I wonder
whether newspapermensare as up-to-
date as is universally supposed . . .
I can remember back when he was
at. Iowa . . . Their whole trouble in
the Conference was caused by Jones.
It was he who sought after the ath-
letes until finally the Big Ten b'ooted
them out of the league for proselyt-
ing athletes . . . Now they are in
such poor shape that they have to
beg Conference teams to give them
games.
"Howard Jones is not a miracle
coach. Right now he is at a
little university with a big football
stadium. I understand that football
receipts are paying the faculty sal-
aries there this fall. He built cham-
pionship teams, it is true, but his
Iowan tactics of paying them has
carried over into the Coast league.
"{ ...All of the members of the
West Coast Conference are trying to
pin something on him but the only
one whose own shoes are clean is
Pop Warner and all of the other
coaches have tried to have him bring
something up about Jones but I
guess he did not want to cause any
trouble.
"Southern California's two tackles,
as you qnce intimated, are two of the
best pro tackles in any league any-
where. A guard is not far be-
hind. . .
"So why are newspapermen, who
ment tonight against the University
of Western Ontario, Michigan ought
to be about ready for a pro oppo-
nent. Of course that much improve-
ment cannot be duplicated. Against
Chatham Sherf was a wizard at de-
fense while David proved the missing
link in Michigan's attack. He can
pass and can play the right wing as
nobody else can on the squad.
Chapman probably showed the
most individual improvement. In the
White Star game he had had but one
week of practice but by the Chatham
contest he had two full weeks of in-
tensive drill under his belt, Tonight
he is about due to reach his last-sea-
son form, which was plenty good.
What he lacks in natural ability
he makes up with sheer nerve.

satisfactory combination." "
