a 17, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY SpeedAnd Timing Stressed In Drill For Georgia Tech Game Team Drills On Improvement Of LateralPassing Joe Ellis Is Impressive In Returning Punts; May Play Against Tech Kipke Is 'Satisfied' Sul b Ends May Get Chance If Ward Does Not Start In Saturday'sLineup Speed and more speed was the key- note of yesterday's offensive scrim- mage as the backs rehearsed play after play in anticipation of the in- tersectional affair scheduled for Sat- urday against Georgia Tech. More expert timing on laterals was also emphasized. With Ward out of the game, some of the second string ends may get the chance to display their wares. Ernie Johnson took over the right end for the major part of the after- noon. John Rieck and Earl Meyers also came in for a share of the play along with the regulars, Matt Pateh- elli and Mike Savage. A definite criticism leveled at the backfield as a whole this year has been that they were getting off on plays without giving their interfer- ence a chance to form. On the other hand, blocking has been slow, so per- haps the fault lies with both parties. Backfield Named The starting backfield has been practically decided upon. Cedric Sweet will hold down the fullback postwith Regeczi and Aug at the halves, and Ferris Jennings at quar- ter. Jennings is particularly adept at snaring short passes over the line of scrimmage with Regeczi doing most of the tossing. Sweet looks good on defense and has more drive through the line than any other man on the squad. Aug was the best running back in the Chicago game, and if his team- mates can co-operate in shaking him loose, Tech will see some good open- field stepping. Ellis.Shows Promise Joe Ellis who has warmed the bench this season may get his big chance Saturday. His work in the backfield was highly gratifying to the coaches and he seems in a fair way of going somewhere on the squad. Joe is known as a player who can really return punts, a spot in which Michigan is in need of bolstering. Trouble with his eyes has handicap- ped him greatly. The Varsity lined up for defense against a scrub eleven which went through the various Georgia plays. MI ITO' SHOP FOR MEN 119 SOUTH MAIN ST. Coach Fisher Practices With Hurling Talent Current W a r m Weather Encourages Drills Of Sophomore Prospects Although the World Series ended baseball officially for the year last Tuesday, Coach Ray Fisher is taking advantage of the current warm weather to work with two of his sophomore pitchers and a catcher on Ferry Field. The two hurlers, George Butler and John Gee, represent 12 feet, nine inches plus 399 pounds of pitching talent. Butlr, a right hander, is six feet three, and weighs 187 pounds, while Gee, a southpaw, stands six feet six, weighing 212 pounds. "Jabby" Jablonski, who was ineligible last sea- son, is the receiver. Coach Fisher is of the opinion that he will have a fine fielding and hitting nine next spring, and wants to make sure his pitching staff will hold up. He has several veteran hurlers re- turning, and if Gee and Butler pro- duce, he will have a strong staff. Both Had Freshman Experience Butler and Gee were both on last year's freshman nine, where they gave evidence of developing into Varsity moundsmen. Butler could have given a good account of himself as a Var- sity pitcher last year. Working out yesterday, he had a burning fast fall, a sharp curve, and showed signs if developing a good change of pace. Only one Michigan pitcher ever learned to throw Coach Fisher's "half- speeder," and that was Bill McAfee, who is now a big leaguer. This change of pace which Fisher calls a half- speeder is really a fadeaway. When a right hander throws it, the ball comes up to the plate slowly, dipping away from a right hand hitter. Gee is not as far along, but he has all the physical attributes of a pitcher. He has a fair fast bll, but his curve doesn't break consistently. However, Coach Fisher believes that Gee will make an excellent pitcher with time and experience. Fisher plans to keep both boys working out in the Field House dur- ing the winter. Of Jablonski, Fisher stated that he has the best throwing arm of any catcher who ever played for Mich- igan, notwithstanding Ernie Vick and Jack Blott, both former big leaguers. Several line bucks and passes consti- tuted the Tech attack. Roberts, star in the Southern Conference last year and a bulwark for the team that has already lost three straight, is the focus of the passing attack. He throws passes from deep punt forma- tion and is reputed to be uncannily accurate. The backfield intercepted many of the tosses and broke up the remain- der. Sweet several times found him- self in possession of the ball with a clear road for a touchdown. The entire squad went through a tackling and blocking drill and Kipke, who Is not driving his men as much as he did last week, expressed him- self satisfied with the showing of the team.- READ THE CLASSIFiED ADS I Patanelli Playing Both In Line And Backfield Courtmen Start Michigan's Grid Record Shows Practicing For '34-'35 Season C o a c h Cappon Believes Squad Is Stronger Than Last Year's "We were a poor ball-handling club last year," said Coach "Cappy" Cappon to about 20 Varsity basket- ball candidates last night.

And consequently a good ball-handling team is going to make more baskets than a poor one."

He calls it "a new athletic snatch-,racket." But it is as old as the hills. Wesson accuses the University of California and St. Mary's of invading Southern Cal's own hinterland to gather football stars. To me this is about the most abject alibi a losing team has offered. In the first place the policy of athletic raiding isn't new, and in the second place it is always hard to prove that raiding has occurred. Anyone who accused Michigan of "employing a new athletic snatch- racket" as Wesson defines it could find plenty of proof for the contention The Wolverines annually have the most cosmopolitan lineup of any of the Conference teams - even drawing some of their players from the haunts of their Big Ten opponents. The outstanding example this year is Tom Austin, Michigan's captain whose home town is Columbus, Ohio. Other players from Ohio are Vince Aug, Bill Renner, Bob Amrine, Jack Liffiton, Chet Beard, Howard Triplehorn, and Cedric Sweet. With five or six of Michigan's starters coming from the lair of her chief Conference rival wouldn't the Buckeyes be justified in crying wolf? True, most of these men are from the northern part of the state and conse- quently oriented toward Ann Arbor more than toward Columbus. Michigan, however, isn't getting all the breaks her way, by any means. Kipke might have called it "raiding" when Doug Nott, who lives in Ann Arbor, went to* U. of D. It was nothing of the sort. because Nott. while wanting to go to Michigan. chose the Detroit school. he says. because h didn't think lie could get along with one of the athletic; officiaels here. In the same way a number of AUI-State high school players nave recently been going to Michigan State where, ten years ago, they would prooaoly have come to Michigan. The list includes Reynolds, McCrary, and Sebo, to name only a few. The explanation lies in the fact that three Michigan schools have gained national football recognition and a consequent attraction for young players where only Michigan enjoyed that position ten years ago. ALL THREE OF THE COACHES, Kipke, Dorais and Bachman, have to go on extended speaking tours through the state each year to interest the boys in their respective schools and Michigan, of course, is suffering from the inroads in her material made by the other two. The situation, as I see it, is probably the same in California. Claijm jumpers are invading U.S.C.'s territory and getting some of the good material -and no one can blame them if they are successful. Take the example of the College of the Pacific, for instance. They hired an expensive coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg, a couple of years ago. But an expensive coach can't make a winning football team without good material. They couldn't afford to hire Stagg to coach the average run of half-interested and untrained boys who reported for football, so they, too, went out and started doing what every big college has been doing for years -- advertising their school to the prep stars, telling them of the advantages the school offered, promising to get them board jobs, etc. - all of the groundwork necessary to build a championship football team. And Southern California hasn't a thing to kick about. men through the first basketball practice of the school year last night at the Intramural Building. Cappon is not saying much at this early stage about the possibility of a successful season. He has, however, promised that this squad will on the whole be better than last year's, a promise which will more than likely be fulfilled. Nine Veterans Captain Al Plummer tops the list of nine returning veterans. With two years of Varsity experience tucked away he will be a valuable asset at forward, and can look ahead to one of his best years. Cielse Tomagno, who rates along with Plummer as a ball-handler, will be back at 'his old guard position, while Dick Joslin, Jack Teitlebaum, John Jablonski, Manny Fishman, George Ford, Russ Oliver, and John Regeczi fill out the remainder of the group of veterans which should be a material aid in building a competent team. Promising sophomores who were out for practice last night and who will likely strengthen the team are Harry Solomon, Herb Savitch, and John Gee. Matt Patanelli and Earl Meyers, also sophomores, like Oliver and Regeczi will not participate in the fall practice sessions inasmuch as they are now occupied with football. Patanelli figured strongly at forward in spring practice last year. CHICAGO, Oct. 16 -(P)- Jerome Herman Dean, dizzy making $35,000 for himself this year, was named to- night as the most valuable player in the National League for 1934. Pitching ace of the World's Champ- ion St. Louis Cardinals, Dean came within two points of a perfect score in the selection made by a committee of eight representing the Baseball Writers' Association of America. In the offical balloting, first place count- ed 10 points, and Dean scored 78 points.l CHURCH STREET BARBERS 607 Church Street We specialize in Service for STUDENTS Ci osWorld Fair Closes forever October 31 I See it NOW or never '..
