THE MICHGAN DAILY A.U. Track Meet Heads Exam Period Sports Schedul tate Thinclads I7o Open Winter Season Feb. 3 Yes, They Plia Basketball Too Representatives From 30 Schools To Participate In Field House Meet 11 Relays Featured Wolverines Enter Strong Aggregation; Ward May Enter Three Events A galaxy of most of the amateur stars of Michigan will open the 1934 track season here on the night of Feb. 3, in what is expected to be the outstanding cinder event of the year. Stars from over 30 Universities, col- leges and high schools in the state will convene in Yost Field House at that time to compete for honors in the annual State A.A.U. meet. Fans who have been only lukewarm toward the sport because they be- lieved it did not provide enough mass competition, will be given a new deal in this year's meet. The program will be pretty largely a relay carnival, 11 mile relays hav- ing been arranged by Lloyd W. Olds, Chairman of the track and field com- mittee and track coach at Michigan Normal College. In revising the program, the com- mittee decided to take out such events as have provided something of a drag to interest, such as the mile walk, broad jump and 35-pound weight throw, then build it up with relays. The plan is similar to that followed in the East where programs, made up largely of invitational races, draw packed houses. It is believed the same result will be seen here, and that the program will have a stimu- lating influence on track all over Michigan. In time this program will prove the classic sports event of the state, the committee feels. Coach Charlie H o y t, Michigan track mentor, has entered a strong team in the meet. Such stars as Willis Ward, Cass Kemp, Boyd Pant- lind, Al Blumenfeld, Jim Bacon, Neree Alix, Rod Howell, Jack Childs, Dick McManus and Dave Hunn,' among others, will compete for the Maize and Blue if the strain of exams doesn't prove to much for them. Probable entrants inthe dash in- clude Ward, Kemp, Barnes, Lamb and several freshmen from Michigan.

Ca ers Tackle Exams Af ter UpsetVictory Renovated Team To Plav Twice In Examination Period The Varsity basketball squad have hung up their uniforms temporarily as they tackle another, and perhaps more difficult task, that of semester examinations The cagers will hold no regular practice, but are expected to keep in training during the ex- amination period as they have ,two games on the schedule immediately following. The Varsity will journey to East; Lansing on Feb. 10 where they will meet the Spartans of Michigan State in a return engagement. On Monday, Feb. 12. Purdue will open the second semester Conference schedule at Yost Field House. The Wolverines will be attempting to avenge the 26-25 defeat that the Spartans handed them at the field house in December. With 'Coach Cappon's revamped lineup maintain- ing the ability it showed against Ohio State Friday night, it would not be surprising if the Maize and Blue even this season's series with the State cagers. Michigan will get one of its hard- est tests of the season against the Boilermakers as Coach Ward Lam- bert has developed another outstand- ing quintet down at Bloomington. With a record of four victories and no defeats in Conference competi- tion, the Boilermakers are perched at the top of the Big Ten cage race. Iowa, in second place, has a chance at the title held jointly last year by Northwestern and Ohio State. Cappon's new 1 i n e u p showed marked improvement over anything the Varsity has displayed this year. All four of the starting sophomores, Joslin, Tomagno, Jablonski, a n d Rudness, showed that with a little more experience, they could give any team in the league a tough battle. Capt. Ted Petoskey,: who was benched along with Allen and Tess- mer as the caers lined up against the Buckeyes, broke into the game in the first half as a substitute and by his aggressive play, demonstrated that he will not be Qn the bench when the schedule is resumed against Michigan. State. Dick Joslin, the lIanky sophomore who played in his first Varsity game Friday night, showed considerable defensive and offensive ability before he was forced from the game by way of the personal foul route. It appears that he has clinched a definite place in the Michigan lineup. height to the last full inch; W equals weight to the last full pound. Class A equals 890 and over. Class B equals 830 to 889.

PLAY By AL NEWMAN NEW SCHEDULE Sports Summary * * * FENCING, for the time being, is a dead sport at the University of Mich- igan due to the straitened circumstances of the Board in Control of Athletics. The discussion yesterday led to a unanimous decision to uphold the previous ruling on cutting out fencing, gymnastics, and cross country. Finis fencing? At the saving as The Daily said in the beginning, of approxi- mately $300. No more news was forthcoming last night on the Yale-Michigan coaching staff question. Oosterbaan and Blott have been reported as con- tacted by Yale authorities, but no confirmations were given. Oosterbaan and Blott would be valuable additions to the Yale coaching staff or to any coaching staff (editorial opinion). On authoritative information, I have it that each coach has been offered one thousand dollars a year more than the salaries here. * * * * * Those two items are the most important sports facts which have materialized immediately prior to the cessation of publication of The Daily during the examination period. As far as the remaining sports are con- cerned . . . a brief survey : S ' * * * * * T HE BASKETBALL TEAM won its second conference victory of the season by defeating a fifth-place Ohio State outfit here Friday night 32-38. The cagers showed greatly improved form and hopes for the remaining contests after the exam period are running high. They cannot wind up very high, in the conference standings, but the general feeling is that the quintet has found itself and is headed for more victories when the season is resumed. * * * * * Tuesday night, the hockey team lost its first home contest to Sarnia, Ont., the leading team in the O.H.A. Senior B league by two goals to one. Three games were dropped by the pucksters on trips a week ago . . . two to Minnesotoa and one to M.C.M. at Houghton, Mich. Both teams will journey to Ann Arbor to give the Wolverines an opportunity for revenge: Minnesota will appear Feb. 23 and 24, while the Miners will be here March 2 and 3. * , , ~ * * . THE MICHIGAN WRESTLERS have two victories tucked securely under their belts. Northwestern and Michigan State have fallen victim to the grapplers so far this season. Wrestling is the banner sport here this winter due to the fact that the National Intercollegiates will be held here in March. Whether Michigan wrestlers will have much of a chance is yet to be seen. * * * * , Coach Matt Mann has another great combination down in the Intra- mural pool this year. Headed by Jim Cristy, outstanding distance free- styler, Mann has an all-star combination which will probably take the Big Ten title again without much difficulty, also probably have a good chance in the National Intercollegiates. The first meet this week with Michigan State resulted in an overwhelming victory for Michigan. & BY-PLAY SPORT s4 I: gram will consist of swimming as the 'majorattraction, with ping pongin- terclass badminton, and interclas basketball as additional features. Fencing will also carry over. Before the old schedule is com- pleted, the semi-final a n d final rounds of'the Intramural tourney will have to be played off. Thus far five teams have survived elimination in each division. TheClass A semi- finals will find Newberry matched with Martha Cook, while Betsy Bar- bour will meet the winner of the Delta Gamma - Kappa Delta game. The Class B section schedule reads: Jordan 1 vs. Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Chi Omega vs. the winner of the Theta Phi Alpha - Jordon 2 battle. SWIMMING Tuesday and Thursday evenings will be. devoted to running off time trials for the Intramural and Inter- collegia'9 t e 1 e g r a p h i c swimming meets. .The Intramural races, will take' place in the Union pool on March 20, with the Intercollegiate following a couple of days later. Everyone entering the speed events in Intercollegiates must pass a time trial, as it is the only method which can be used to choose the teams. The first sixteen are eligible for competi- tion, aid any one may try as many times as she wishes to better her time record. Only two speed events and the div- ing will be open to any one entrant. The Intramural meet will feature 25 and 40-yard swims chiefly, while the Intercollegiate meet has sched- uled several 100-yard races.

Gophers Play For Big Cage Crowds (By Associated Press) The University of Minnesota bas- ketball teams, though not habitually among the leading Big Ten title con- tenders, have made unusual showings as crowd-pullers. Twice Gopher quintets, playing in the mammoth fieldhouse at Minne- apolis, have drawn throngs of slightly over 13,000. Even this season, with Coach Dave McMillan's team off to a decidedly discouraging start, ath- letic department officials are count- ing on crowds of 6,0)0 to 8,000 con- sistently for Saturday night games. Tan Delta Phi Leading Intramural Conpetition Tau Delta Phi, as the first semes- ter athletic program comes to a close, is leading the fraternity intramural sports race with a total of 289 points. it was announced yesterday by the Intramural Department. Tau Delta Phi has but a scant lead over Tau Kappa Epsilon and Theta Xi which have 274 and 273 points respectively. Phi Kappa Psi with 244 is in fourth place. Phi Beta Delta with 239 is in fifth, with Alpha Kappa Lambda and Theta Chi tied for sixth with 230. Theta Chi won the fraternity championship last year. U. High Is To Hold Basketball Festival He r e A basketball festival is something new along the line of celebrations, but Fred East, athletic director at University high school, Ann Arbor, is inviting boys from 25 B, C, and D class schools to take part in one to be held at 'the Intramural Build- ing on the morning of February 3. The purpose of the festival, ac- cording to East, is to engage in a sociable occasion and to try to deter- mine the possibilities of a classifica- tion basis for competition, especially for those boys not taking part in interscholastic athletics. The teams will compete within their own class and each team will play one game. The winning team of each game will be awarded five points. Each school will add the points made by its class teams for a school total. The games will be stag- gered as much as possible so that each school will have one of its teams playing throughout the day. The boys will be allowed the priv- ilege of swimming in the Intramural Pool from 3 to 6 p. m. A supper will be served at the rate of 30 cents per boy at 6. Speakers for the eve- ning include Harry Kipke, Fielding H. Yost, Bennie Oosterbaan, and others.
