Records for the year, for a decade, and for all- time will cause many to cheer. The individual stars turned out will appeal to others. But the biggest reason for our feeling of pride is that Michigan coaches can retain their jobs in spite of unfavorable seasons. Even though their teams may be losing steadily, there is no wrath from the Board in Control and there is no calling on the carpet. A team can be losing but the coach need not be afraid of his job. He is here to train ath- letes, not just winning athletes. A good example of this is right before our eyes-basketball. The team has lost four out of five pre-conference games, yet the coach is not under fire nor will he be even if Michigan should not win another court game this season. The Board would be satisfied with his services without victories. tempt to defend their season record marred only by a tie with the team representing the University of West- ern Ontario. The Dearborn- Club is a member of the newly organized Michigan-On- tario Hockey League, an association of amateur clubs which so far this year has furnished some popular sports events. Their exact strength is not known, although Michigan is accorded an edge in comparative scores, since the Wolverines defeated Chatham, a team which tied the Fly- ers in a recent contest. Use Individual Style The Ford City pucksters have built up a reputation for sparkling indi- vidual play, however, which is a style in hockey almost as efficient as the passing game featured by the Wol- verines. None of the aggregations met by the Maize and Blue this year have used' an outstandingly indivi- dual offensive, but the Wolverine de- fense is strong this season and may prove especially effective against the Dearborn offense.- Michigan's chances of.victory seem somewhat dimmed by the illness .of Co-captain Keith Crossian, veteran center, around whom the Wolverine attack usually swings. Crossman is confined to the infirmary- wi-th a touch of flu. He is reported conva- lescent, however, and may bd recfy to play against the Ontario Agricul- tural College sextet which invades Ann; Arbor Monday. The burden of the offensive will fall on the broad shoulders of the other co-captain, Ennmry Reid; who'is an effective shot, a good passer and a fast skater. John Sherf, sophomore defense man, may also be relied upon as a scoring threat as he often comes up from the defense for a fast solo effort and his usual hard and aceu- rate shot. Artz Plays Center Avon Artz will replace Crossman in the face-off position at center ice. He is a capable reserve, and has seen a good deal of service as a spare this season. David may be relied upon for his usual steady game at the other wing, while Chapman will pro- vide more than his share of the Wol- verine defense. Jewell will occupy his usual position before the Michigan net where he has done outstanding work so far this season. In preparation for the hard season ahead several members of the Mich- igan squad have been practicing reg- ularly over the holidays here in town, while others have been keeping in shape. After the game next Monday against a team reputed to be one of the best in Ontario, Michigan will play St. Mary's, a newcomer to the Wolverine schedule, so a busy week is ahead for the ice squad. lurleigh Grimes Loses Appendix In Operation ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-P)--Burleigh Grimes, veteran pitcher for the Chi- cago Cubs, says he's a "new man" now that he has separated from his troublemaking appendix.: He expects his recent trip to the operating table of a St. Louis hos- Keith Crossman, star center, will be out of the game Friday night. The co-captain of the hockey team is in the Health Service with influenza. Avon Artz, former Detroit high school star, will replace Crossman in the forward line. CochKeen To Cut Mat Squad or State Meet By the time of the Michigan State meet, Jan. 21, the Wolverine grap- pling squad of 60 will be reduced to 35, Coach Cliff Keen has announced. Ten men will be subject to the ax this week, and the remaining 15 will be sliced off a little at a time. In order to' go 'about this sys- tematicplly, Coach Keen has aranged two inter-team meets, one between Varsity wrestlers, scheduled for to- morrow, the other between Varsity and freshmen grapplers, to be held next Friday, the 13th. Tomorrow the squad will be di- vided into two sides, the Maizes and the Blues. There will be fifteen or twenty matches held, the *restlers being paired off as evenly as possible. M tches will be of Cight minutes du- Next Friday Coach Otto Keller's frosh grapplers will form the opposi- tion for the Varsity wrestlers. The freshman squad this year is, accord- ing to Coach Keen, "potentially the best squad we have evcr had at Michigan." Frcshmen Meet Varsity The cream of the yearling crop of some 50 grapplers will be chosen to oppose the best men of the Varsity. rnteen or twenty matches will be held. This program of matches will give Coach Keen a good chance to look over some of the prospects who will give the six letter men a fight for their positions.As yet, no positions are cinched, and the Michigan State meet may see some new faces in the Wolverine lineup. A lot of time is being put in to get ready for the State meet as the Spar- tans have virtually the same team which turned back Michigan 14 1-2 to 13 1-2 last year. Many of the Wol- verine grapplers returned to school early to engage in extra practice. Coach Keen is a little worried by the flu jinx which has hit , everal of the matmen now, and may be prescnt to handicap his regulars after the season begins. Sigwart, Spoden, Wilson and several others are on the hospital list with slight attacks. pital-together with the big .pitchers of milk he's drinking down on the farm-to make trouble for the slug- gers who walk up to the plate when he is on the mound next season. l There has, however, been consider- able comment in the past few days about the team. Rumors that spread like wildfire have coverd the campus to the effect that a shakeup was due in the coaching staff..Due or not due, it is not going to take place. In reality Coach Franklin C. (Cappy) Cappon is an excellent basketball coach. There is not a su- perior one in the whole country, even Van Alstyne of Michigan State must doff his hat to Cappy. The Michigan mentor has worked gut basketball to a system. Instead of a game in which the determining fac- tor is whether a man is hot or not, Michigan's basketball has been de- veloped to an art. (Don't laugh either, we mean it.) One faculty member on campus is a dyed in the wool track fan. Until last Wednesday pafternoon he could not see basketball for dust. It did not interest him. It was all breaks, luck, and undeterminable factors. Or so he thought. He happened to be in Field House as the court team was working out. At first he' simply watched the track- men, but after a little he kept turn- ing back to the pactice on the floor. Finally he walted over to the bleach- ers and sat down- to spendan hour watching closely the antics of'Garner and Co. and see just what there was in the sport anyway. He watched Cappon-remak Michi- gan's offense. The old system had not penetrated the. oppoition's defense satisfactorily. Instead of three men being the key-at one time-to the offense; he adde .a nian and taught the team the rudiments of a four- man offense. The regulars took the ball down the court time after time, working it in to the basket against the reserves who were on defense. Every time a mistake was mide it was pointed out and ironed out. Timing, accurate passing, handling of the ball, shoot- ing, the self-handling of each man, the out-smarting of the opposition by individuals and by the regulars, all were under the closest scrutiny of the faculty man. At the end of the hour he was sold on basketball. He praised the de- ceptiveness of Don Black, Russ Oliver's handling of the ball, the shooting of Captain Eveland, the rug- ged play of Ted Petoskey, and track lost a fan. Cappon won one. The basketball material, although not as good as that of former years, is adequate for a successful team. Not an undefeated team perhaps, but a successful one. In the Syracuse game two scouts sat beside us in our namesake, the Press Box. They saw Garner give flashes of improved form. They say the team work better than ever be- fore. But they did not see all. When Michigan plays its respective teams they will get the surprise of their lives. In short, the team is quickly rounding into first-class con- dition. In practice Garner is one of the best centers in the Big Ten. The six- foot-six center is the tallest in the Conference. Although not as smooth as some big men, he is a decided as- set to the team. In the .scrimmage against the freshmen, he followed in six shots, a thing he has not done be- fore. His pivot work under the basket3 reminds us of Daniels of last year. Captain Eveland s h o w s more promise than anyone .else on the Cage Squad To L e ave Friday For Iowa City Nine men will make up the Mich- igan bawketball squad that will leave here Friday afternoon for Iowa City and Champaign to meet two Big Ten foes, Iowa and Illinois. The Wol- verines will help Iowa pry the lid off the Big Ten season Saturday night and will return as far as Champaign to meet the Illini Monday night. Coach Franklin Cappon's hopc.; have been buoyedtup>f some etent by the sho>winUg his hardlwood qulintet nade when it played Syracuse here last Monday night. The team lost 31 to 28, but it played a much better brand of the game than it has dis- played at. any time this season. It lost in the closing few minutes be- cause of six unstoppable shots regis- tered by the Orange. Cappon plans to start the same team against Iowa and probably against Illinois as he used- against Syracuse; that is, Captain Eveland and Plummer at the forward posts; Garner at center; and Petoskey and Altenhof at the guards. Other men who are to make the trip are Oliver, forward; Allen, center; and Petrie and Teitelbaum, guards. Some hope is being held out that Ivan Williamson will get in a few minutes.of play during games later in the season, but Cappon has no intention of using the big star unless the latter's knee will stand the gaff. In short, he is not relying on Wil- liamson at all, but will find a place for him if the star's condition per- mits. squad. Some maintain that he has not developed as much as expected but he is the best shot on the team. Unless he is off, which is seldom, he collects more than his share of the points. His defensive work is rapidly improving until now he can hold his own in any competition. Don Black is the cleverest floor man on the squad. He also has a good eye arid can handle the ball with the best, but his one drawback, lack of height, is almost an impos- sible handicap. D Football Teams Have To Seek New Coaches Stanford, Michigan State, And Chicago Are Among Those Needing Guides CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-1AP)-The pas- time , of wondering who will coach what football teams next year has been stimulated anew. The wonderers had just nicely set- tled down to waiting until Thomas N. Metcalf, new athletic director at the University of Chicago, should appoint Don Peden, Jimmy Phelan, Pat Page, sr., Charley Bachman, Judge Walter P. Steffen or someone else to succeed Amos Alonzo Stagg on the Midway, when Jimmy Crowley leaves Michigan State to sign up with Fordham. Now they wonder whether Don Peden, Jimmy Phelan, Charley Bach- man, Miles Casteel, Amos Alonzo Stagg, or someone else, will replace Crowley at Michigan State. They will wonder who will succeed Pop Warner at Stanford, and if Phelan is signed by Chicago or Michigan State, their will can get exercise wondering who will coach at the University of Wash- ington, where Phelan has been since 1930. WARNER GOES TO TEMPLE STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif., Jan. 5.-(A)-Selection of a Stanford football coach to succeed Glenn S. (Pop) Warner-charged by one mem- ber of the board of athletic control with "laxity"- was the announced purpose of an official meeting here tonight. Frank Guerena, alumni member of the athletic board and chairman of a special staff committee on the coach- ing situation, asserted the veteran re- tiring mentor ignored freshman play- ers and reserves. - Warner has resigned to take charge of Temple University's football squad. "He never went to a freshman game and the only time he saw the reserves was when they scrimmaged the var- sity," Guerna declared CROWLF LEAVES STATE EAST LANSING, Jan. 5-(AP)-The Michigan State athletic council will Imeet next Monday afternoon in a preliminary session to consider the selection of a successor to James- H. Crowley, retii'ng football coach. Indi- cations are the council will have hun- dreds of names before it when it con- venes. The athletic office has been flooded with telegrams and letters of applications from coaches throughout the country since it was announced that Crowley would leave here for Fordham. President Robert S. Shaw said the administration is anxious for a speedy disposition of the problem with the probability that a successor will be chosen by March 1. Michigan Normal 39; Olivet 30.

BAIRD If you're looking for a man namied' Allen on the track squad it's poor policy to go down to the Field House and just yell "Allen!" You might, by chance, get the right man, but in all probability you would not. For thierea are Charles, Walter, Boyd, and Elbert who all claim Allen as their surname. And, queer enough, these Aliens are all distance runners. As an added attraction to the meets this year Coach Hoyt might feature an "All- Allen Relay Team." The boys could probably give a very good exhibition in the mile or two mile distance, But just in case you get your Al- lens mixed up there are brothers Chit and Walt, both seniors, who hail from St. Louis, Mo. Chit, a 440-maan, is perhaps the best known of the two on the cinders. Although bothered by ineligibility for the last few seasons, he's ready to go out and make up for lost time this year. And then, to compete the quartet, Boyd and Elbert Allen of Milwaukee, Wis., came to the University this year. They're going through their paces on the freshman squad under Coach Doherty, and may fit into the places vacated liext year by the , en- places vacated next year by the sen- the yearling squad. ______________________________________________________________________ Newberry Receives Intramural Trophy Helen Newberry was awarded the women's Intramural hockey trophy at a banquet last night celebrating the championship 1932 season. The victory over Kappa Delta a few weeks ago gave them the title, Marie Hartwig, faculty Intramural manager,. was toastnistress. She lauded the spirit of the team and re- marked that the 1 to 0 victory over Kappa Delta this season was just the reverse of the score last year, when the latter took the cup. Virginia Cooper, athletic house manager, expressed the good will of the Kappa Delts in turning over the trophy. Dr. Bell encouraged the par- ticipation in Intramural activities. Pr feso Fr' es Football Decline NEW YORK, Jan. 5.---4,1--College football was about the only one of, the "spectacle" sports that kept pace with the growth of interest ifi active competition during the "Iboom" years and now, with gate receipts declining sharply, the college sport appears to have found an iinportant rival in the professional game, While the number of golfers, ten- nis players, automobile campers and others who prefered to take their outdoor sport in an active way was growing by leaps and bounds in the years before 1930 and baseball and boxing were suffering, football kept pace, it is shown in the report of the president's research commitatee on social trends. But, adds Dr. J. F. Steiner, professor of sociology at the University of Washington who con- tributed the chapter on sports and recreation to the report, there is the possibility that "public interest may eventually shift from college to pro- fessional football because of the su- perior skill of the latter.", - All.State Cager To Be Lost To L o alI School Faced with the loss of two of his stars, Ferris Jennings and Pete Pag- en in February, LaVerne Taylor, Ann Arbor High School basketball coach, must find suitable replacements if last year's fine record is to be re- peated. Jenn~ings -was placed on last. year's All-State basketball team at guard position and was selected as captain and quarterback of this season's All- State football aggregation. Rated as one of the best athletes ever to at- tend Ann Arbor High, Jennings is fast, a deceptive drlbbler, and has a marvelous eye for the basket. Pa- gen is a forward and joins with Jen- wings to form, thei main cog in the team's offense and defense. Jefending the Five-A title, the local team has won three games.this year, beating Wayne 32 to 14, Lan- sing Eastern 24 to 23, and Flint Cen- tral 33 to 22. Friday night the squad will play Lansing Central at Lansing. The Central cagers eliminated the Ann Arbor team in the semi-finals of last year's state tournament and Friday's contet .will renew an old rivalry. Fencers 'rTo Meet 3 Non- Conference Opponents John Johnstone, fencing coach, has arranged a home-and-home series with three teams, as well as competition in the Big Ten cham- pionships, for his 1933 fencing team. The home-and-home series are with Michigan State, the Toledo Y. M. C. A., and the Detroit Turn- verein. Johnstone has several veter- ans returning from last year's team and has some good freshmen coming up. ior Allens, as they're distance men also. While on the subject of brother acts there are others who cannot be overlooked. For some reason or other the track has drawn more than its share of them. Either track just runs in the family, or the family just runs in for track. The best known brothers on the squad are Bill Howell, cross-country captain, and his sophomore brother Rod. Both were outstanding on this year's harrier team, and are continu- ing their activities on the track squad. Both are distance men, of course, and Bill has a very good chance of getting first call for the mile run. The fourth pair on the squad is the Ellerby brothers. Tom Ellerby, a junior this year, placed third in the 440 in the Big Ten meet last year. With Capt. DeBaker and Chit Allen he is one of the reasons why Coach Hoyt is not worrying especially about the quarter-mile event. And this year from Birmingham came his younger brother Dick, who immediately started off in Tom's footsteps. In the freshman meet held just before vacation he placed first in the 440, outrunning the pick of the yearling squad.
