sports editor reluctantly gives au-
thorship. It is a lament on "The
All-Too-Prevalent Custom Of Bring-
ingtYoung Ladies To Athletic Con-
tests And 'Then Forgetting To
Cheer." The non-capitalized style"
belongs to Don Marquis, while oc-
casional phrases were lifted without
mercy from Scott's "Lay of the Last
Minstrel."

Spoden Not To
Wrestle Against
Michigan State
Bad news descended upon the
Michigan wrestling squad yesterday
when it became evident that John
Spoden will not be able to start in
the heavyweight match this Satur-
day night when the team meets
Michigan State in a dual meet at
East Lansing.
The large grappler will not be able
to startabecause of a bad case of
boils that has laid him up for the
past several days. Coach Clifford
Keen stated that even in case Spo-
den were able to leave the Health
Service before the meet, the heavy-
weight would not be in good enough
condition for a match.
Coach Keen also stated that he
may start John Viergiver, tackle on
the football team, who has been out
for practices for a week. Viergiver
saw action last year as a member of
the freshman squad but has not
come out for the wrestling team un-
til lately.
Coach Keen, however, believes that
Viergiver will have remembered
and recollected enough to enable him
to put up a good fight against Reav-
ley, the heavyweight that State is
expected to start in the meet.
Problem Of coach
At Yale Clarifies;
Indians Get Blaik
Eastern football prognosticators
saw the clouds around New Haven
dispersing yesterday with the an-
nouncement that Earl Blaik, unoffi-
cial head coach of the 1933 Army
team, would coach the Dartmouth
Indians next season.
This seemingly irrelevant state-
ment is explained when it is pointed
out that Blaik was one of the red-hot
prospects for the Yale job if the
powers that be decide to go outside
of Yale grads for next year's mentor.
It has become known that the pow-
erful alumni group that demands an
outside coach for the Elis next year
named five prominent possibilities
in their first list. Today two 'of these
men have been eliminated by signing
contracts to coach at other schools.
The original five coaches were
Blaik, Harry Kipke, Ossie Solem,
Iowa coach, Bernie Bierman, Minne-
sota, and Dana X. Bible, mentor at
Nebraska. Of these five, Blaik and
Solem have definitely eliminated
themselves by signing contracts for
the 1934 season.
While Kipke has said repeatedly
that he will stay at Michigan next
year it has been pointed out that he
will be at liberty to sign with Yale
Primo Expects.
To Take Next
Boxing Match
NEW YORK, Jan. 17 - () - One
over-sized shipment of heavyweight
champion -- Primo Carnera - w a s
deposited upon New York's shores
today as the fistic caldron sizzled and
bubbled in expectation of an old-
fashioned revival.
"Ho ho," roared the Genoa Go-
liath as he stomped down the gang-
plank of an Italian liner. "I 'feex'
the Tommy Loughran quick. I knock
him out 10 rounds, sure."
Thus did the grinning champion
bare his walrus tusks and get to
the very heart of the opening busi-
ness of the day. He fights Lough-
ran 15 rounds in Miami, Fla., Feb.
22. Tomorrow he leaves for Pomp-
ton Lakes, N. J., to start training
his 272 pounds of bulk down to a
modest 258 or thereabouts. He ex-
pects to leave for Florida Monday
after a suitable training site has been
chosen.
The Wolverine hockey sextet will
open the Big Ten ice season tonight
at the St. Paul Hippodrome against
the fast-skating Gophers of Minne-
sota. Tomorrow night, the Maize
and Blue will meet Coach Frank
Bond's sextet in the second of the
two-game series.
Nine Varsity pucksters and Coach
Eddie Lowrey left late yesterday af-
ternoon, expecting to arrive in the
Gopher stronghold in time to hold
a light practice at the Hippodrome
in order to become accustomed to
the playing rink before the opening
face-off tonight. The players who
made the trip were: Captain George
David, Johnny Sherf, Johnny Jewell,
Avon Artz, Ted Chapman, Larry Da-
vid, Walter Courtis, Hugh McEach-
ern, and Tom Stewart.
Gophers Are Favored
Although ratedrthe underdogs in
the two-game series, the Wolverines
hope to emerge the winner in at
least one of the contests. Last year,
the Varsity was the only team able
to defeat the Conference champions,
winning one out of four games.
Neither team can boast of a clean
slate' as they enter the game tonight.
The Wolverines lost to Michigan
Tech last Friday night while the
Gophers were beaten by Manitoba
in one of their early games.
Coach Lowrey will start the same
Varsity lineup that has accounted for
five victories in six starts this year
with Capt. David at right wing,
Sherf at left wing, Artz at center,
Chapman at left defense, L. David
at right defense, and Jewell in the
net. Michigan spares are Stewart,
Courtis, and McEachern.
Coach Bond is expected to depend
on his large array of skaters to de-
feat the Maize and Blue. The Go-
phers depend on a number of spares
to enable them to throw in fresh'
front lines and wear out the oppo-
sition, allowing them to crash over
a tired defense for victory.
Coach Lowrey, however, is count-
ing on Chapman and Larry David
to put up a steady defense that will
keep the Minnesota forwards from
getting too many shots at Jewell.
Larry David has an additional in-
centive for a good showing tonight
as he hails from Hibbing, Minn.

Coach Cappon Is Disappointed
In Wolverine Basketball Team
-Associated Press Photo
Charles Keogan, "little giant" coach of the Notre Dame basketball
team which broke the school's all-time cord with 22 straight victories,
is shown surrounded by three real giant. of his squad. Left to right
they are: Guard Don Elser, Forward Ma. y Peters, and Center Ed
Krause. All three of these men are all-around athletes, being letter-
winners on the football squad as well as Varsity regulars among the
cagers. To Keogan must be given much of the credit for the great record
turned in by the Rambler basketeers in recent years.

For A. A. U. Meet, January 3
By CHARLES A. BAIRD
Coach Franklin Cappon is a sad,
sad man. Life, it would seem, holds
nothing for him.
If you value your safety, don't
mention basketball in his presence.
It's a touchy subject. Ordinarily he
is a man of even temper, but the
situation is far from ordinary. Some
of the cagers are almost afraid to
turn up for practice after the disas-
trous Wisconsin and Northwestern
debacles.
After waiting two days we thought
we could risk talking to him, so we
called him on the phone. "What,"
we asked him, "do you think of the
team?" "Think," says he, "I don't
think. I've lost all power to think."
Gaining courage we said, "Have
you made any changes in the line-
up?" "Line-up?" came hopelessly
over the wire, "We haven't any line-
up." Silence. Tears were dropping.
We still didn't have a story.
"What did you do tonight?" "We
scrimmaged," he said. "Who scrim-
maged?" says we. "The Varsity scrim-
maged the Varsity," says he . .
After a minute he continued, "You
might say the reserves scrimmaged
the reserves ... we haven't got any
Varsity."
"What do you intend to do?" we
asked desperately. "All I can do is
hope," he said.
We thought of that quotation
which runs: "Hope, in reality, is the
wvorst of all evils. It prolongs the tor-
ments of man." We only thought it.
We didn't say it. We hung up.

Teams in the independent basket-
ball league, composed of 23 teams
sub-divided into three 5-team leagues,
and two 4-team leagues, began their
first round games last night. Each
division will play a round-robin
series, the ultimate leaders meeting
in elimination contests during March.
The Frosh-Physical Eds, with an
all-star lineup consisting of Malashe-
vich, Paulson, Rudness, Viergiver,
and Emling, won the championship
encounter last year, defeating the
Bluebirds in a thrilling, over-time
battle. The Frosh-Phys.-Etts., now
no longer freshmen, have entered a
team this year which will be some-
what weakened by the loss of Paulson
and Rudness, who have graduated
from the ranks of Intramurals to the
Varsity.
Other strong, habitual Intramural
teams in the league are the Blue
Raiders, possessing four skilled per-
formers in Ward, Wolfe, Zahner, and
Escowitz, the D.D.'s, boasting Gang,
Fourman, Cohn, and Kunitz, and the
Hops with four good men in Zander,
Rothstein, Van Wagner, and Kotch-
ka.
With only a week more of unin-
terrupted practice before the on-
*aught of final exams Wolverine
tracksters are working overtime to
get into shape for the Michigan A.
A. U. meet, Feb. 3.
Coach Charlie Hoyt expressed
himself as "satisfied" with the per-
formance of his proteges in their
first time-trials of the season last'
Saturday, but hopes for much im-
provement before the opening of the
indoor track schedule.
The tracksters will race against
time and their teammates only once
more before the A. A. U. meet. The
second time-trails of the season areI
scheduled for Saturday afternoon.
With Willis Ward and a few other of
last week's absentees present, a bet-
ter show should result.
Even the usually gloomy Coach
Hoyt is more optimistic over Michi-
gan's prospects on the cinders this
year than he has been for some
time. Although the times recorded
in the recent trials were not extra-
ordinary, they revealed that some of
the sophomores have great potential-
ities, and may fill the shoes of the
team's graduated stars.
Harvey Smith was outstanding in
the half-mile and ran the race in
mid-season form. Although he is a
senior, this is his first year on Mich-
igan's team.
Sophomores who came to the fore
were Neree Alix in the two-mile,
Code-Ball Is Becoming
Popular 'Mural Activity
Code-ball, the new sport that has
been making rapid progress down at
the Intramural building and is sup-
posed to be the future substitute for
soccer, is being practiced regularly
by a group of enthusiasts. The game
has gained so much headway that
Earl Riskey of the Intramural de-
partment has decided to run three
separate sets of tournaments begin-
ning next semester.
Dave Hunn in the pole vault, Bob
Lamb in the hurdles and sprints,
and Harvey Patton in the quarter-
mile.
Although complete, plans for the
Michigan A. A. U. meet here, Feb. 3,
have not been completed, advance in-
dications are that many changes will
be made over last year..
For one thing races will be run on
the yard system, instead of the meter
system as was formerly the case.
Relay races will.receive more stress
than ever before. Plans for .special
races between teams in the same
class who are traditional rivals are
underway in the hopes of creating
more interest in the meet.
Coach Hoyt has not decided yet
who he will enter in the meet, but
probably any member of the track
team who cares to can compete.
Many.Wolverine freshmen are plan-
ning to run in the meet unattached.
