Noses Out Wolverine Courtmen In Thriller, 2 PAGE FIV iTo25 O Improvement In Maize And Blue Leads Cagers Offensive Shown Buysse, S t a t e Center, Is High Point Man As He Scores 13 Counters Allen Gets 9 Points Cappon Praises Play Of Two Sophomores: Ford And Tomagno (Continued from Page 1) point Cappon sent in an entirely new team composed of Jablonski, Rud- ness, Tessmer, Regeczi, and Tomag- no. Both teams missed fouls until Reck finally sank one to tie the count at 10-10. Patchell then collected a point on a free throw that was matched al- most immediately by Tomagno's shot from the foul line, but Buysse came through to give the Spartans a two point lead at half-time with another shot from under the basket. First Team In Again Cappon started the first team at the beginning of the second half and Allen soon knotted the count at 13 all, but Van Faasen dribbled around Petoskey to bag one from under the basket. Plummer dashed in on a throw-in under the State basket to collect two points and again knot the score. In the next minutes State repeatedly menaced the Wolverine basket but couldn't connect until Van Faasen made good on a free throw. Michigan had been getting the tip- off in the first, half, but Allen was apparently tiring in the second stan- za and Buysse's ability to out-jump him gave State a big advantage. Reck and Btysse counted on scin- tillating one-handed shots to give the State team what appeared to be a commanding lead, the score being 15- 20. Allen and Van Faasen both sank free throws and Michigan gained a point when Plummer was fouled by Reck and cashed in on it. The game was becoming fast and furious with frequent fouls and a great deal of fast passing that was ragged at times. Tomagno replaced Oliver-.. Petoskey, fouled in the act of shooting, made good on one throw and made the score 18U to 21, and Allen ran it to 20 to 21 when he took a nice- pass ,from Ford for an easy shot under the basket. Ford Makes Basket Then Ford put the Wolverines in front again with a basket from the foul line. With seven minutes to go, Buysse put in a left-handed shot from the side to regain the lead for his side. Regeczi intercepted a State pass and dribbled the length of the floor only to miss his shot. With four minutes to go Tessmer and Rudness replaced Petoskey and' Plummer. Van Faasen and Rudness both cashed in on free throws to make the score 23-24 with one min-7 ute to go. With the Wolverines fight- ing desperately Reck broke loose for a basket. Tessmer immediately du- plicated it and the Wolverines were fighting desperately for another as the final gun sounded. BOX SCORE Fred Petoskey, one of Michigan's most versatile athletes in recent years, is captain of the basketball team which opened its home season against Michigan State last night. Besides being a stellar end on the xootball team for three years, and toldingi down a guard position on the ourt squad, Petoskey is a slugging outfielder on the baseball team. Appointing Of Elmci Layden 1em mber Of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen Chosen To Coach Ramblers SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 9(/)-- The appointment of Elmer Layden, one of Notre Dame's famous "Four Horsemen," as athletic director and football coach and the selection of Joe Boland as his assistant on the gridiron staff was announced at No- tre Dame today. The Rev. John F. O'Hara, acting president, announced the choice of Boland through his office shortly af- ter the Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell, president of the University, con- 'rmed the reports of Layden's ap- pointment while en route from Roch- ester, Minn. Resignation Is Accepted The text of Father O'Hara's state- ment follows: "The University of Notre Dame has accepted the resignation of Jesse Harper and Heartly Anderson as ath- letic director and head football coach and has signed Elmer Layden for a contract that covers both positions. The University also has approved the ,election of Joseph Boland as assis- tant football coach." Boland, a Chicagoan, was a reserve tackle on the Notre Dame football team of 1924. After leaving school, he went to St. Thomas College at St. Paul as football coach, concluding that position with the close of the 1932 season. The now famous sealed envelope was opened shortly after the definite announcement of Layden's appoint- ment was made. It contained a statement, signed by Father O'Don- nell, praising Harper and Anderson.

PLAY & BY-PLAY By AL N EWMAN- The Lion And The Unicorn In The Rose Bowl .. . * * * QUOTING ALICE'S MARVELOUS ADVENTURES in "Through the Look- ing-Glass," I note a passage amazingly relevant to the Rose Bowl game: "The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the Crown. The Lion beat the Unicorn all around the Town. Some gave them white bread, some gave them brown, Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town." '"Does the one that wins get the crown?' asked Alice. 'Dear me, no!' said the King, 'What an idea!'" Now if you will substitute "Indians" for "Unicorn" and delete the part about the Lion beating the Unicorn, you have the Rose Bowl contest this year, it seems to me. Two parties are fighting for the crown under the illusion that the winner gets it, when actually neither of them has a chance for it. HE COLUMBIAS AND THE STANFORDS, theoretically, will be fighting for the National Grid Crown out in the Rose Bowl New Year's day. You, dear reader, will play the part of Alice and ask me, "Does the one that wins get the Crown?" I, as the King, will answer, "Dear me no! What an idea!" (or words to that effect). I am not going to scream with impotent rage and rend my garments over the inefficiency and stupidity of the Rose Bowl committee. In fact, I believe that with all the necessary considerations of who played last year and the restrictions keeping the leading teams in the country from making the trip, the committee has done at well as it could do. But as you probably know, Stanford was beaten once and tied twice, and it seems to me that no team thus knocked about when many national gridiron leaders went through the season with only one defeat or one tie or a clean record . . . no such team, I say, can claim the National Cham- pionship. Columbia had a season of glorious triumphs over such tough opposition as Lafayette, Penn State, and Cornell. The Lions dropped one game to Princeton by the shadowy margin of twenty points. It seems to me, that even had the Gothamites refrained from playing that game altogether, their schedule would not admit of more than a very very faint claim to the crown. Now I have heard no particularly strong allegation to the effect that either team is a National Champion, but knowing the general tenor of West Coast publicity out in the land where everything grows to enormous propor- tions due no doubt to the climate and such, I am taking no chances on letting this thing slide. I hereby notify Rose Bowl ballyhooers that the minute that they insin- uate that the New Years' game is for the National Championship or any- thing but strictly a question of "Who is the champion of Stanford and Co- lumbia, Stanford or Columbia?" I am going to lift my deep editorial voice to the wild heavens and thunder "FRAUD." Maroon-Purple Merger Wo'uld Up>set Football Schedules-Yost Kipke Sougrht As Mentor Atj Yale, Is Rumor Michigan Coach Mentioned As Possible Successor To Reggie Root According to an Associated Press dispatch from New York last night, a group of prominent Yale alumni has been negotiat-1 ing with Harry G. Kipke, headI coach of Michigan's Nationalt Champions, in an attempt tot obtain him as coach at Yale. In an official statement lastt night Kipke said that he had had no definite contact with Yale authorities and that "I only knowe what I have read in the papers."', Kipke will be in New York next week-end to appear on a nation-< wide All-America broadcast andt Yale officials will undoubtedlyf have an opportunity to discussi 'the matter with him then. Revolt against persistent defeatt broke out into the open today among1 Yale's powerful alumni, threatenings to sweep away not only the football regime of Reggie Root, young head coach, but the traditions of over a half a century as well.t Just as "Hunk" Anderson was over- thrown at Notre Dame this week, and as the old order was tossed over-t board at Princeton, arch rival of the Elis, two years ago with the impor-, tation of "Fritz" Crisler to start ac victory string, so has Yale headed definitely toward a new deal on the gridiron. Never in Yale's football history,t dating back to that first game with Columbia in 1872, have the Elis gone3 beyond the graduate ranks for a head coach. There is still a possibility T.t A. D. Jones, former Yale star, coach and brother of Howard Jones oft Southern California, will be calledt back from retirement, but the alumni now appear strong for a thorought 7hakeup. Things have gone so far that a nommittee of prominent graduatesa has negotiated with Harry Kipke, successful young head coach of Michigan's Big Ten and National; ^hampions. Kipke probably won't accept thet ,ask of directing a team that, despite1 plendid material, lost this fall tot 3eorgia, Army, Harvard, and Prince-I ,on, and faces next year the hardest schedule in the history of the Uni- versity, eight successive major gamest i g a i n s t Columbia, Pennsylvania. 3rown, Army, Dartmouth, Georgia,. ?rinceton, and Harvard. If he does refuse, the job may bet offered to Lou Little, Columbia coach who took a handful of material andt moulded it into the East's Rose Bowl representative.t Purdue Quintet Set For Opener On December 12 With the opening of the 1933-34 -age season scheduled Dec. 12 against the well-balanced Indiana State Teachers quintet that came within an ace of defeating the Boil- ermakers last season, Coach Ward Lambert has shifted the scene of Purdue's net drills to the Jefferson High School gymnasium where all home games will be played this sea- son. By RON MARTIN The Western Conference wrestling meet next spring was awarded to Michigan at the meeting of the Big Ten coaches Friday night in Chi- cago. The preliminaries will be held in Yost Field House on March 9 with the finals on the following day., Other Conference meets were awarded as follows: March 10- fencing and gymnas-' tics at Chicago; March 9 and 10 - swimming at Iowa; March 10 -in- door track at Chicago; May 17, 18 and 19 - tennis at Chicago; May 18 and 19-Outdoor track at Northwest- ern; and, May 21 and 22- golf at Northwestern. The Big Ten coaches andsathletic directors met in Chicago over Fri- day and Saturday along with the faculty board for the purpose of mak- ing up schedules for the winter sports and drafting recommenda- tions of football rule changes to be presented at the annual meeting of the national rules - committee which will meet later on this year. Want Training Table The football coaches were virtually unanimous in proposing that the Conference again allow the various schools to provide for a training table, an institution that has been discontinued in the Big Ten for sev- eral years. The coaches recommend- ed that the training table be re- sumed on a modified basis, with the evening meal being the only one at which the training table would be used. it is the contention of the grid mentors that, due to the fact that practice in the fall is seldom over un- til 6 o'clock, the players are forced to eat cold meals at their various fra- ternity and boarding houses, a prac- tice that is harmful to the condition of the gridders. The recommenda- tion, provided it is approved by the, faculty board, will enable al l the gridmen to eat a carefully supervised meal in the evening. Advance Opening Date In addition they went on record as favoring the advancement of fall football practice from Sept. 15 to Sept. 10. The schedules of all of the Big Ten teams next year are so strenuous that it will be necessary for the teams to play "November football" from the start of the sea- son. Michigan, for instance, opens the 1934 season against Michigan State, followed on successive Satur- days by the University of Chicago and Georgia Tech. All three of these teams had comparatively successful seasons and with a wealth of soph- omore m a t er i a 1, will be much stronger next fall. In order to ex- tend the unbeaten record of the Wol- verines which now stands at 22 con- secutive games without a defeat, the Maize and Blue will have to be at the peak from the start of the sea- son. Suggest Changes The coaches went on record as favoring the following rule changes: The removal of the present rule whereby the ball is declared "dead" if any part of the runner's body, other than his hands or feet, touches the ground; the adoption of the rule which would allow a forward pass to be thrown at any point behind the line of scrimmage; and the re- instatement of the old "windy day" rule which would allow the offensive team in possession of the ball within their own 20-yard line the option of either kicking or surrendering the ball to their opponents at a point 25 yards down the field. In the Chicago game this year, Capt. Stanley Fay slipped to his knees on the Maroon two-yard line while in the clear, preventing a sure Michigan t o u c h- down as the half ended before play could be resumed. The recommenda- tion of the coaches w o u 1 d eliminate any such happen- ing. It would also make legal "Old "83", one of the FM scoring plays that has made Mich- igan teams famous. The present rule on forward passes state that the ball must be thrown at "a point at least five yards be- hind the line of scrimmage." The recommendation of the Big Ten coaches would open the way for quick passes and would make the passing attack a more dangerous weapon than at present. Helps Offense The contention that the defense has a decided advantage over the of- fense is causing considerable com- plaint by coaches and this new rule would be a distinct advantage to the offensive eleven. The National Foot- ball League has such a rule and it is proving successful in providing for a more varied attack. The disadvantage u n d e r which teams are at present on a windy day would also be eliminated by the re- instatement of the "windy day" rule. When the Wolverines d e f e a t e d Northwestern this fall, a 35-mile wind was blowing down the field making it virtually impossible for Regeczi and Auguston to get any distance on their punts against the gale. It is not unusual to see the ball caught by a gust of wind and drop- ped almost on the line of scrimmage. Big Ten Coaches Propose Rule Changes And Draft Schedules If Chicago and Northwestern com- bine before the next football season comes around members of the Con- ference are going to have one of the biggest jobs of their careers in re- arranging the schedule to suit all concerned, stated Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost yesterday. Yost took Michigan's 1934 sched- ule to show what the predicament would be if Chicago and Northwest- ern became one, for all athletic in- tents and purposes. Michigan has a game scheduled with Chicago for October 13, at Chicago, while she also has a game on the books with Northwestern here on November 24. In the first place the proposed move would leave Michigan with only seven games, five Conference games and an open date. When all these complications were ironed out there would still be the question as to whether the Michigan-ChiNorth game would be played on Oct. 13 or Nov. 24, and whether it would be here or in Illinois. It is probable that Yost would not look with a kindly eye on a game with the Chi- North outfit so early in the season as Oct. 13, but the team that takes on Chicago at the later date would also have a logical right to demand that date. Scheduling of an outside team or a conference team after the first of the year to fill an open date will be well-nigh impossible, as Yost pointed out, since most of the major schools in the country have their grid cards made up a year in advance, at least. The fact that every conference team usually plays from four to six games with Big Ten opponents would cause other complications. For in- stance if a team is playing only four Conference games and has both -Chi- cago and Northwestern on their list, they'll have to skirmish around for another team. It case another team was invited to join the Conference and wanted to take active part in the. football competition in 1934 more major changes would have to be made. Notre Dame regularly plays two or three Conference teams while Ne- braska and Michigan State both play one each. Reorganization of the schedule of any one of these teams would have. nationwide effects on grid cards. Such drastic changes would be nearly impossible without upsetting sched- ules from coast to coast, and it is probable that if any team is admitted she will not take an active part imtil 1935 at least.
