. 21, 1933 T H E MICHIGAN A L Wolverine Matmen To Inaugurate Season Against Spartans Tonig r Squad Hindered By Injuries To OutstandingMen Captain Blair Thomas Is Definitely Out Of Meet Against M. S. C. Oakley To Wrestle Wolves To Try To Avenge Last Year's One-Point Mat Defeat Michigan will inagurate the wrest- ling season at 7:30 p. m. today, when the Wolverines face State grapplers in Yost Field House. Tonight's meet will find the Maize and Blue squad seeking to avenge a one-point de- feat suffered at the hands of the Spartans last season. Both squads will be hurt by illness. Blair Thomas, Michigan's captain and star 135-pound wrestler, will be dfinitely on the sidelines, and it is problematical whether Gordon Reav- ely, State A. A. U. heavyweight cham- pion and outstanding member of the Green and White squad, will see ac- tion, as he too has been on the hos- pital list. What appears to be the outstand- ing go is the bout between Captain, Stanley Ball of M. S. C. and Joe Oak- ley. Ball reached the finals in the National Intercollegiate Meet last season, while Oakley, a letterman, is in good physical condition. Both men will scale 126 pounds. In the first fight Jimmy Landrum, experienced Wolverine, will encoun- ter Floyd Austin, veteran 'Spartan, at 118 pounds. Speed and clever wrestling will mark this fight.eBob Helliwell, a veteran Wolverine whose usual post is at 145-pounds, will fight in a class 10 pounds lower, replacing Captain Thomas. Helliwell's opponent in Herbert Thamer, a newcomer to the visitors' squad. Filling Helliwell's place at 145 pounds will be either Ed Landwehr or Don Lewis. Coach Cliff Keen is delaying decision on these two men and probably will not make a choice men have outstanding campus rec- until just before meet time. Both men have outstanding campus rec- ords, Landwehr having won the cam- put 135-pound title a year ago, while Lewis captured the 145-pound crown in December. Pete Rakovich, a sub- stitute from the 1931 squad, is the State entry in this event. The 155-pound go will bring to- gether Art Moser, brilliant Wolver- ine veteran, and Allen Cox, another hold-over from the M. S. C. reserve team of a year ago. At 165 Ed Wil- son, another Michigan letter winner, will grapple with Bob Monnett, fa- mous Green and White, football player. Monnett is new to wrestling but has a creditable record as an amateur boxer. Harvey Bauss, colorful Maize and Blue athlete, is carded to face Lee Marsa, veteran Spartan, in the next to the last bout. In the final event Willard Hildebrand will face either Olin Lepard or Gordon Reavely of Michigan State. There is a slight possibility that John Spoden, all- campus heavyweight champion, who is suffering from a foot injury, may replace Hildebrand. Student identification cards are necessary for admission. The en- trance price for outsiders is 25 cents. Ye arlig Cage Squad Is Called Best By Fisher Although the freshman cage squad, was beaten 51 to 25 by the Varsity Wednesday, its work this year has caused Coach' Ray Fisher to pro- nounce it "the best freshman squad I have ever coached." The first string yearling team has George Ford and Dick Evans as forwards; John Jab- lonski and Chelso Tamagno at the guard positions; and Melvin Silver- man and Miller share the center post. The second team is composed of Donald Guest and Phil McCallum, guards; Howard Levine and Winfred Nelson, forwards; and Dick Brawer- man, center. Coach Fisher expects two or three new men to report after the opening of the new semester. The defeat by the Varsity Wednes- day was not due so much to the weakness of the first-year men as it was to the excellence of their op- ponents' offense. Ned Garner ran wild' through the freshmen and collected 17 points. Evans and Ford, the two frosh forwards, scored six and seven points, respectively. 'Ford, who is from Detroit, and Evans, from Flint, are probably the most outstanding men on the year- Michigan Will Have Big Job To Overcome This Five 3 " f ,y a . Elm: I } 3 s e . K r ' k r, t : :., 12, / Tracksters In Final Trials This Afternoon Track enthusiasts will be given their last opportunity of seeing the Wolverine squad in action this after- noon when the final time-trials of the semester are held at -Yost Field House. Prospects are very bright for there being some outstanding performan- ces turned in. Practically every can- didate will be out to make a final flourish before the coming two-week exam period. Good Times Expected Indications from the last week of practice are that the amateur watch- holders will not be disappointed in the times turned in for the various events. Coach Charlie Hoyt has been speeding up his men in work-outs, which means that everyone will be at a higher pitch. There is a possibility that a new Field House record may be estab- lished in the 440 event this after- noon. With several of the lesser knowns gettingeinto better shape than they were last Saturday, Allen and Ellerby may be hard put to take the lead in the event. Everybody in the quarter-mile, with the exception of Capt. DeBaker, is steamed up and ready to go. Frosh Run Also Yearling tracksters will hold their last time-trials of the semester this afternoon also, mixing events be- tween those of the Varsity. It would be no great surprise to Coach Doherty to see some of his existing records. The pole vault rec- ord is in grave danger of being brok- en if Dave Hunn is in good condi- tion. Last Saturday he cane very close to breaking the existing record. of 12%/ feet. RUTH LEADS HOLDOUTS NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-(P)-Under the impetus of Babe Ruth's much publicized salary argument with the N e w York Yankees, base ball, through its holdout parade, has just about swept all other athletics off the sport pages. Protests from high-class perfor- mers against the size of the pay cuts they've been asked to take have been mounting rapidly and apparently major league magnates will have to Women To Start Ice Hockey Game Ice hockey and women as play- ers are two things heretofore quite unassociated in the annals of Michigan sports. However the new semester will see the beginning of 3 women's hockey team here. It was an idea of Varsity Hockey Coach Eddie Lowrey's in the first place, and it is he who will man- age practices. If the success of the 1933 Varsity is an indication of what he can do, the success of the undertakings is assured. The Coliseum will be open to the women pucksters between 2 and 2:45 p. m. probably two days a week, though as yet no definite days have been set. All the facili- ties of the plant will be at their disposal, and playing equipment, except skates, will be furnished. Any women interested in the project are invited to participate. They must sign up by Feb. 6 in Room 15, Barbour Gymnasium. Nine Pitchers Are Rounding To Form Under the tutelage of Ray Fisher, Varsity baseball coach, the pitching tryouts are slowly rounding into form. There are nine pitchers, who are divided up into two groups, each practicing three times a week at the Yost Field House. Francis Wistert, one of last year's veterans, has gained a good deal of confidence, and he is bearing down. Ie bids fair to become the mainstay of this year's pitching staff. Ed Mc- Kay, a senor this year, has improved considerably, and is expected to turn in some good performances during the season. These two, together with Manuel and Art Patchin, who will return to school at the beginning of the second semester, will probably make up the bulk of the pitching staff. Other men working out at the Field House are Tillotson, Meltzer, Frankowski, Fish, Laughton, and Hubbard. Charles Menefee, a veter- an, expected to report after final ex- aminations. use every argument in their repetoire to swing their recalcitrant stars into line before the spring training sea- son. Cagers Play Chicago There In First Game Maroons, On Home Floor, May Spring Surprise, To Trounce Wolverines On its last drive before final exam- inations, the Michigan basketball team will face the lowly Chicago Ma- roons tonight in the fourth Confer- ence game of the season for the Wol- verines. Chicago made a surprising showing last Monday night by holding the strong Iowa quintet to a 36 to 32 win, and the improvement they have shown in the last two games will cause the Michigan five to exert their best efforts if a victory is to be scored for the local five. Despite the fact that Chicago has lost its first four conference games, Coach Cappy Cappon was anything but optimistic when the team left yesterday afternoon, believing that the Midway team is about ready to chalk up a game in the win column. Also the fact that Chicago will be playing on its home floor repre- sents to the Michigan team a handi- cap of anywhere from six to ten points. Coach Cappon indicated that he would start the same lineup that proved so successful against Illinois last Saturday in hopes of repeating with a victory tonight. These five will be Eveland and Plummer, for- wards, Garner, center, Altenhof and Petoskey, guards. Big Ed Garner will endeavor to continue the place he set in the pre- vious game when he scored 12 points. Although as yet he is not among the leading scorers in the Big Ten, by repeating the performance exhibited against Illinois, he will undoubtably be numbered as one of the ten high scorers in the conference. Throughout the practices of the past week, the whole Michigan team has shown a great deal of improve- ment offensively. In the last scrim- mage with the freshman, the entire five men on the regular squad came through with at least six points, which signifies a scoring punch that will be hard to stop. ky y{ 4L J ...... .. . .' >., . ; ; >.

Walter "Red" Sochacki (4), husky forward, matches Robin- son at the forward post. Virgil Licht (5) is another great defensive player, althugh last year he also led the team in scoring. The quintet has not been clicking on foreign floors, but their needed teamwork is expected to return for the Monday night engagement. Two newcomers are in the lineup but it has been changed from game to game until the starting quintet is uncertain. By John Thomas FIELDING H. YOST sold the Board in Control on a golf course. Then he sold them on enlarging it to 18 holes. Now he has sold himself on the game. Just like he mastered the mining game, the oil game, the football game, and many other activ- ities-even including the Hoot- Smawley tariff, he is going to master the golf game. When the University course was enlarged to 18 holes, Yost played a perfect golf game..He never missed a shot. His score was always par. And in addition, he played with a cane. He used to go around the course swinging his cane. He started on the first tee and poked out a long drive, splitting the center of the fairway. Then he'd walk up to the ball and push another long wood to the green. On the green he was as steady as a statue for he always took two putts. And so it went, all around the course. The only trouble was that he did not use golf sticks or a golf ball. He used his imagination. But when a group oz ladies pre- sented him with a brand new black leather bag, he decided he would need some clubs, so he bought a few irons and a good set of Walter Hagen woods, or at least we were informed that he bought them. His favorite occupation this winter is utilizing the golf nets in Yost Field House. He bought a book on golf, in- cidentally a good one too, and studied it--justlike he studied the Civil war. He can play every shot perfectly in the locker room-just' like he can taken an innocent piece of paper and a pencil and refight the first battle of Bull Run, naming the families on whose property it was fought. Yesterday he ventured out on the practice gridiron and shot 35 balls. He collected all but one of them and shot them back. When he came back into the locker room he explained to Ray Altenhof that he finally found the lost ball but only had 69 pokes at the balls. He said that he was pushing a little, but mostly the shots were far and true. Someday we are going to play with him and give you the lowdown on whether his game this year rivals that of former years when he never missed par, not even by one stroke. His only sorrow is that his son, Buck, pushed an old unmatched set of woods off on him in place of his good Walter Hagens. ~nworkingn Lhence az "WIHEN I work hard, I usually smoke more; and when I smoke more, I usually work harder-and that's why I want a cigarette that's milder."
