JAN. 27, 1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY I IPA From the PRESS BOX By John Thomas Kipke Suggests Abandoning Football Rules Committees ---- I_ Mentlor Opposes Restriction Of Forward Pass, Theta Xi Leads Fraternties I In First Semester Intramurals Hockey Referees Swimming Opponents Female Basketball * * * COACH EDDIE LOWREY Mich- igan's great hockey mentor, an- ticipated our sugestion about hockey referees by about one year. "Home Town" officials were discontinued at Michigan last year when Peter Fox, former big-league official, was hrought here to referee the most im- portant games. In five of the first six matches this year Fox produced expert offi- ciating. The games were fair to the opposition and the penalties were, more or less, evenly distributed to both teams. In the sixth match, the refereeing was unfair to the visiting team. The referee was not Fox but a newcomer who probably will not be asked back. But Lowrey's fairness evidently has not spread to all the rest of the teams because Michigan received eight out of nine penalties in a re- cent game away from home. Mich- igan has not enough spares to give the regulars their much-needed rests but it is an almost impossible task to ask them to overcome unfavorable refereeing in addition. ** MICHIGAN'S SWIMMERS did not go on their annual jaunt through the East this winter, swimming ath- letic clubs, college teams, and all- corners. Reduced financial aid was not the reason, those in command tell us. Instead it was the fact that Michigan is too good! Only New York A. C. was willing to meet the Wolverinse in the tank. None of the other former opponents were willing to take a beating is the reason that the swimming coach gives for the dearth of opponents. FEININE STUDENTS turned out for their class basketball teams last November. A round-robin pro- cess of elimination was used to de- termine the outstanding players. A week after vacation the playoffs started. The juniors defeated both the sophomores and freshmen as did the seniors, which leaves the two up- per classes tied for class champion- ship. Yesterday was scheduled for the finals between the two upper class teams-the championship of Mih- igan was at stake. As neither team showed up, it was decided to post- pone it to some indefinite date next semhester. It was said exams were were too near to ask the girls to play yesterday afternoon. All of the class teams will play those of Michigan State, if the de- tails can be worked out.This will in- augurate intramural inter-collegiate competition for women at Michigan. But the Wolverine femmes are fac- ing a doubting Thomas in us. When State send teams here they'll prob- ably be faced with the same situa- tion that developed on the court yes- terday. The Maize and Blue girls will probably fail to show up again. But it would be quite all right, thank you, examinations would be near again. Two National Meets May Be Called Off Wolverine swimmers may not have a chance to defend their National Intercollegiate title this year since both the swimming and wrestling meets may be dropped. Coach Matt Mann has received a questionnaire from the national com- mittee that will determine just how many colleges are planning to send teams to either meet. If the response is not great enough to make the meets national in character it is probable that they will be dropped for the year. Mann said yesterday that he felt confident that the swimming meet would be held, saying that at least STOP throwing your money away, on cheap clothes, because of low prices. Compare our clothes be- fore you buy, many buyers are doing that, therefore we are sell- ing more clothes.

Final Price Reduction! Entire Stock OVERCOATS $16.95 gHIT~ Suggests Ru Be Put Off Five Years les Revisions For At Least. The suggestion that all committees formed to revise football rules be abandoned for a period of at least five years is offered by Harry G. Kipke, head football coach, Univer- sity of Michigan. Kipke, who is a member of the "Committee of twenty" of the Na- tional Football Coaches Association organized to offer recommendations to the National Football Rules com- mittee, was outspoken today in op- position to the suggestion that for- ward passing be restricted by heavier penalty for a second incomplete pass. "When teams are evenly matched," he said, "it would take a great thrill away from the game if the forward pass were restrictedw any f ur th er. It - would be easy to .- defend against any running game if we , did not have passes K to worry about. The . f o r w a r d passing - - threat has a tend- ency to open up the defense. If passes were eliminated or Harry Kipke restricted to such an extent that teams were afraid to use them after one fell incomplete, the game would be dull and numerous scoreless ties would result." Gives Examples Kipke mentioned the Southern California-Notre Dame, Southern California-Pittsburgh, Notre Dame- Army, Ohio State-Michigan, Minne- sota-Michigan, and Notre Dame- Northwestern games last fall as ex- amples in which forward passes brought thrills and decisions. "My suggestion," he said, "would be that all committees that are form- ed to revise footabli rules should be abandoned for a period of at least five years. I feel that the rules are okay at present, and that the specta- tors should be given time to learn them. Many persons still are trying to figure out rule changes of last year. "I am opposed to any rule which would restrict the possibility of scor- ing. I feel that the defensive game has progressed more rapidly than the offensive. Any rule designed to further curb the offensive is a big mistake and is not fair to spectators who are attending games." EIGHT IS LIMIT Eight games are enough for a high school foot ball team. That's the rule in Michigan and the rule will stand, a mail vote among 265 schools has decided. AUBURN CAPTAIN GOOD Jimmy Hitchcocks, Auburn's all- American captain of its grid team, made 232 successful kicks during last year's season without having one blocked. five Big Ten schools - Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio State - are planning to send teams or individuals and have made provisions for it in their bud- gets. He pointed out that swimming is a comparatively inexpensive sport, es- pecially since most teams will travel to and from the national meets by automobile. It is probable that the west coast entries will decide the issue. An Out-of-Town Girl? ? Well, don't spoil it for her. Let her have a picture of the Grand March and areal souvenir of the dance.

As the first semester of intramural! activities draws to a close it is only1 appropriate to glance back and1 praise the champions who have suc-i cessfully defended their laurelsi and bail the new-crowned winners. Competition in all events to date ,has been the most spirited in years, and only the persistently good per- formers have been able to break into the winning column. Outstanding has been the showing of Alpha Kappa Lambda, last year's intramural champions in team events. The A. K. L's won the fra- ternity speedball championship han- dily for the fourth consecutive year without dropping a single encounter. Their number of consecutive wins has now reached an enviable total of 42 games. New Cross Country Champ Cross Country saw a new frater- nity champion crowned when Phi Kappa hill-and-dale men ran off with the honors. They succeed Pi Kappa Alpha, last year's winners. Tau Kappa Epsilon broke into the winning column for the first time this season when it turned back all comers to cop the fraternity hand- ball title. Phi Beta Delta was unable' to repeat its victory of 1931. Theta Chi got back at Lambda Chi Alpha with a vengeance in the dual swimming meet this year. Still smarting under a 22-19 setback it re- ceived at the hands of the Lambda Chi's in last year's finals, Theta Chi ran away with all the honors.- Bennett Continues String In fact Theta Chi was not to be Good Will Fund T Benefit B BoxingShow The Student Good Will Fund will receive the profits accruing from an amateur boxing show to be held in the Yost Field House during April if tentative plans advanced by Ver- non Larsen and approved by J. A. Bursley, dean of men, are carried out. Dean Bursley has already con- ferred with Athletic Director Field- ing H. Yost, in regards to obtaining the use of the field house for two nights and a definite decision will probably be reached on Monday. Larsen Shows .Interest: Larsen, who coaches the Univer- sity boxers, pointed out the great in- terest that amateur boxing has aroused throughout the state this year and promised, to bring out- standing amateur boxing teams here from Detroit, out-state Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. He said that the only costs of such a tournament would be for medals for winners and for visiting boxers' expenses. He estimated that such a tourney propertly staged would bring two or three thousand dollars into the coffers of the Good Will Fund. hhR 1y bested in any form of pool competi- tion. The greek letter natators ran their winning streak in water polo to the fifth straight year, easily defeat- ing all contenders. Keith Bennett, Theta Chi goalie, has played all five years and has never been scored on. Among the independents, in cross- country, the Humpty Dumpties did not have a great fall. On the con- trary they outran all competitors to win the title. The Trojans were vic- torious in touch football, succeeding last year's champs, the Dark Horses. Albert Melniker, won the indi- vidual all-campus cross country race, to take the title formerly held by Archie McMillan of this year's Var- sity harrier team. Alex McPherson, succeeded Edward Pratt as all-cam- pus golf champion. Carver Wins Crown A new winner was crowned in the faculty golf tournament when Prof. Harry C. Carver putted his way to a victory over Wesley Darling in the finals. Prof. James A. Cissell was the title-holder last year. FRATERNITY STANDINGS Fencing Team To Play Host T o Detroiters The University fencing team will go into action this evening in their second match of the year. Their op- ponents are the squad from the Detroit Turnverein. The present strength of the Detroit team is some- thing of a mystery but in the past they have always had a strong squad and this year should prove no excep- tion. The Michigan swordsmen arej stronger than usual this season, with five of the seven men on the squadI back from last year.I The match should be of interest' to fencing fans as the two teams will probably be quite evenly matched. The seven men on the Michigan squad are all adept at the art of fencing and have all had previous experience.

Basketball Captaincies Abolished By Gophers Intramural Hockey Now In Full Swing The Intramural ice hockey program went into full swing last week with three games taking place at the Coliseum. On Monday a close fight was taken by the Rajahs from the Rangers by the tight score of 2 to 1. Wednesday witnessed an overwhelming victory by the Hawks over the Zeta Psi fra- ternity team, 7 to 0. Another one- sided game was that between Alpha Delta Phi and Trigon, won by the former, 6 to 0. The next game will be Feb. 16, after the new semester begins, be- tween Nu Sigma Nu and Psi Upsilon.
