Face Buckeyes
In First Meet
Ohio State Will Present A
Well-Balanced Line-Up.
Despite Early Defeat
Plenty of opposition is expected
from Ohio State's tracksters in their
meet with the Wolverine thinclads
Saturday night in Yost Field House.
Although Michigan, last year's Con-
ference outdoor champions, is fa-
vored to win its first dual go of the
season, the Buckeyes, with a well-
balanced team, will give them plenty
to worry about.
A 68 to 35 defeat suffered at the
hands of Indiana last Saturday would
indicate that the Bucks are not to
be feared, but Coach Charlie Hoyt
feels otherwise. The Hoosiers, de-
fending indoor champs, won their
meet on their own track only with
super performances on the part of
Hornbostel and Fuqua. Due to this
meet, the Buckeyes will probably be
in better condition than the Wol-
verines, who have had no dual meets
as yet.
Although Michigan's mile relay team
set a new record of 3:23 in defeating
Illinois and Ohio State in the A.A.U..
meet two weeks ago, a real battle is
expected in this event. In the Indiana
meet Saturday, the Ohio quartet cov-
ered the distance in 3:24.8 to set a
new Field House record.
Some Buckeyes who should give
Michigan a fight in their events are
Walter Stapf in the dashes, and
George Neal in the shot put. Against
Indiana Stapf ran the 60-yard dash
in 6.4 and Neal put the shot 46 feet,
42 inches.
Willey in the dashes and 440, Cook
in the hurdles, Moore in the mile and
two-mile, Bloor in the half, and Stultz
in the pole vault are other Ohio
threats.
Michigan will send an untried out-
fit into the meet. The recent A.A.U.
meet was no test as the Wplverines
were not in top condition due to the
stress of exams.
Several Michigan sophomores will
make their debut in Big Ten compe-
tition Saturday. Among these are
Ben Starr, Dick Ellerby, Moreau Hunt,
Dave Hunn, Neree Alix, Nelson Drou-
lard, Chester Barnes, Boyd Allen, Jake
Kauffman, Harvey Patton and Jim
Randall.
Johnstone Issues
Varsity Tennis Call
For Doubles Play
There's definite proof that spring
is lurking just behind all the cold
weather , we've been having. Coach
Johnstone has just issued his formal
announcement of Varsity tennis
practice and has incluided in the
announcement the names of the six
men he figures are the most eligible
candidates for the team. Catain
Clint Sandusky, Howard Kahn,
Bowles, Baldwin, Eskowitz, and Smith
will comprise the nucleus from which
the 1934 edition will be chosen.
The men have been practicing off
and on throughout the winter and
are in fairly decent shape to prepare
for the spring campaign. In an ef-
fort to have the players become ac-
customed to each others' style in the
doubles play, the six candidates will
form three doubles teams to compete
among themselves and by the time
the season starts, Coach Johnstone
will have a fair idea of the relative
ability of each man.

IT looks like a gala weekend in theF
local sports realms what with twoi
hockey games with Wisconsin, a
swimming meet with Ohio State on
Friday night, a wrestling meet on
Saturday afternoon, and a track meet
with Ohio State on Saturday night.
, * **
As to Friday night, you can take1
in both athletic events. The swim-
ming meet, held in the Intramural
pool, will start at 7:15, while ther
hockey game begins at 8:30. Just
leave the Intramural building and'
cut over left by Wines Field, where
you will sight the Varsity Arena.
Don't forget the overcoat even if the
weather should be warm.

T HE tax: swimming meet sells at
a quarter with coupon book, 40
cents without; hockey comes higher
with a 35 cent admission with book,
75 cents without.
S * *
The outcome: Michigan favored
hands down in the swimming meet.
Anyway, come and see Matt Mann's
Mighty Mermen with some compe-
tition that should at least make them
try. Michigan accorded a consider-
able edge in the frozen classic in the
event that Chapman and Sherf
should conquer difficulties with Clas-
sical Archeology and professor there-
of. Otherwise, the outcome should
be extremely dubious.
SATURDAY afternoon: Step down
to Yost Field House and have a
look at Keen's grapplers. Opponents
will be Cornell College, reputed to
have a team that should cause the
I-M Stars Are
Fraternity Men
Says Director
When it comes to Intramural ath-
letic prowess, you will find its best
exponents in the fraternity division
of.the Intramural sports program, ac-
cording to Earl N. Riskey, athletic
director.
Of course, said Riskey yesterday,
there are exceptions to this rule.
The Physical Ed Frosh last year
would probably have defeated any
basketball team we had here in In-
tramural activities. But on the whole
the fraternity division has more ex-
cellent teams than the independent
class.
Fraternity supremacy is due to su-
perior organization, according to Ris-
key. The frats grab up good athletes
and, especially in basketball, hold
frequent practice sessions. Incidental-
ly, Riskey thinks that Alpha Delta
Phi is unbeatable this year and
should take the championship. The
independents on the other hand are
brought together by Intramural man-
agers. They are often strange to each
other and don't practice a great deal
as a team. Some teams are organized
by the players themselves.

Saturday night: Again the over-
coat if you plan on taking in both
track meet with the Buckeyes at
7:30 in the Field House and the
hockey match later. Better still, see
the wrestling meet at four and bring
a picnic lunch. Stay over and see
the track meet at 7:30 and then mi-
grate over to the Arena for the sec-
ond game with the Badgers at 8:30
again.
T HE outcome: Michigan s h o u 1 d
take over the Buckeye tracksters
in the evening, and the sam remarks
as previous hold for the Wisconsin
ice engagement. However the sec-
and game of a series is ordinarily
somewhat on the reserve strength of
the teams. Michigan without Chap-
man and Sherf should have very lit-
tle. Flip a coin and draw your own
conclusions after a good look at the
Badgers on Friday night.
Announce Plans For
Union-in tramural
BowlingTourney
Plans for the annual winter All-
Campus bowling tournament to be
sponsored jointly by the Union and
the Intrmural department were an-
nounced yesterday afternoon by Allen

For the first time the competition
will be run on a handicap basis, Mc-
Coombs said. Registration has al-
ready begun and' will continue
through Saturday, February 24, at

More than 30 students have al-
ready registered for the tournament
at the Intramural building.
Pro Tennis Profitable,
Vines' Receipts Show
NEW YORK, Feb. 14 - (P) - Ells-
worth Vines, Jr., the Californian who
caused some eyebrow-lifting by his
hopes of collecting as much as $50,-
000 for his first year of professional
tennis, has already cleared the tidy
sum of $26,000 within exactly one
mcnth of partnership with big Bill
Tilden.
At the rate they have been drawing
crowds on t h e i r transcontinental
tour, new n e a r i n g an end with

the re::t of this week, Vines and
Tilden may double their earnings be-
fore the close of the indoor season.

Cagers Look To
Freshmen To Fill
Holes In Linetj
With the result of the Purdue bas
ketball fiasco in mind, not a fe
followers of the Michigan cagers ai
wondering whether the Maize any
Blue uniforms will be sported by
better balanced, and more capab
aggregation next year.
Naturally they look to the ranks c
the freshman squad for possible re
inforcements. The frosh are a goo
ball club this year, boasting sever
outstanding performers. They hav
given the Varsity some very strenu
ous competition in several scrim
mages; in fact, their play was of
much better brand than that e:
hibited by Chicago in the Confe
ence opener here two months ago.
A Detroit trio, Harry Solomo
John Rieck, and Earl Meyers, seer
destined to clinch Varsity berths
the future, by dint of the scintillati:
manner in which the boys have pe
formed thus far.
Solomon, a forward, p o s s e s s e
plenty of experience. having play
with Northern High, state champio
several years previously, and wi
Michigan State Normal for one se
son. He is a very shifty, deicepti
player, and is a good scoring thre
under the basket.
Meyers, a forward, and Rieck,
guard, played together at Easte
High and later on the freshman tea
of City College, Detroit. Both m
have shown to good advantage th
season.
Height for next year's Varsity m,
be furnished in the person of Jo
Gee, a 6 ft. 5 in. center, who ha
from Syracuse, N. Y. Gee has (
h i b i t e d remarkable improvem
since he first reported, and in a
other year he should acquire t
polish which coupled with his
gantic stature will make him a va
Y able man to have around.
There are 11 other frosh cag
who merit attention, they are: ce
ters, Castle and Cheyney; forwar
- Stabowitz, E11is, Everhardus, a
}Savitch; g ua r ds', Pattenneli, Je
