THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Varsity Shows Improvement In Spirited Practice I U Gridders Work On New Plays For Wildcats Wolverines Turn Dummy Scrimmage With Frosh Into Real Fray Michigan's football team is temper- mental. One day the boys perform with the listless despondency of a team that has been defeated six times; the next, they are imbued with the spirit of a winning eleven. Yesterday's practice was of the lat- ter type. Maybe the Wolverines showed more pep than they exhibited Monday and Tuesday because they realized that only three days of the season remain. In any event, they ran through a signal drill in dummy scrimmage against the reserves with renewed vigor. Work On Blocking For the second time this week, Coach Kipke started the afternoon's drill with blocking practice. A re- turn to this fundamental was necessi- tated because poor blocking earlier in the week marred the precision of the running game. The gridders spent most of the af- ternoon in running through new plays, the Varsity lining up with a cast that will probably start against Northwestern. Bud Hanshue played at left tackle in the absence of Vier- gever, and will probably start Satur- day. -Russ Fuog and Bob Amrine al- ternated at center, but Ford is ex- pected to be in condition for the final contest. Ellis Remains At Half In the backfield were Remias, full- back, Regeczi, halfback, who are sure starters; Ellis at the other half, and Jennings, quarterback. Kipke is still uncertain, but it appears like- ly that this quartet will constitute his starting backfield. Bolas, quar- terback, and Everhardus or Pillinger have an outside chance to start. The boys evidently profited from the blocking drill, for they opened gaping holes in the reserve line, while the backs blocked well leading inter- ference in the signal drill. Concluding their drill on defense against a freshman team using North- western plays, the regulars turned a dummy scrimmage into a real one. Fuog started it by tackling a frosh back, and his mates gave vent to their bubbling-over enthusiasm by follow- ing suit.

Big Ten Performs Impressively Again In Inter sectional Games *-By ART CARSTENS-* AFTER A DISAPPOINTING football season, Michigan fans are look- ing to the basketball team to redeem some of the Wolverines' lost athletic prestige, and not without reason, for Coach Cappon has at least 10 cagers who are blessed with better-than- average capabilities. The following suggestion ils purely a theoretical one, having no factual basis, but after observ- ing the cagers in their nightly drills, it appears likely that Cap- pon might be contemplating the use of a two-team system this season. Cappon has several very tall men on his squad, and he has several who combine fleetness of foot with clever ball handling. He has a mania for tall courtmen, exemplified by the presence of three former centers, all well over six feet, on his present first string team. The five designated as regulars are John Gee, six feet eight inches, center; Dick Joslin, six feet four, and John Jablonski, six feet one, forwards; Captain Al Plummer and Dick Evans, guards. Joslin and Jab- lonski both jumped center on last year's Varsity; together with Gee, they are the tallest men on the squad. Last year, Gee was second string center on the freshman team. He was awkward, having his gigantic proportions as his only attribute. Coach Fisher devoted more time to Gee than any other of the freshmen, andCappon, de- termined to utilize his height, worked on him during spring practice. The result is that Gee has lost a great deal of his clumsiness, is developing a good shot, and is learning to get off the floor on the center jump. He's still a long way from a polished performer, but his improvement is encouraging. THE SECOND TEAM contains the speedsters, with Chelse Tomagno, center; George Ford and Harry Sol- omon, forwards; Jack Teitelbaum and George Rudness, guards. These men have too much ability to be only a second team. Ford and Rudness are the fastest men on the squad, Solomon is the shiftiest, Tomagno is the best ball handler, and Teitelbaum is the best guard. During the numerous scrim- mages, Cappon has not mixed the two teams. He has kept the tall men on one five, and the speedy men on the other, which gives the impression that he doesn't in- tend to mix them during the sea- son, but use both teams alter- nately, as the occasion demands. A coach is fortunate if he can send a fast team in to run the opponents ragged and then insert a team of giants to roll up the score. If Gee comes through, and Joslin and Jab- lonski measure up to expectations, it is possible that Cappon will not have one first team, but two. When the court men on the foot- ball squad report, Cappon may find himself with a third strong quintet. Meyers and Rieck are flashy forwards. Patanelli and Jennings are good guards, the latter specializing on long shots. Everhardus, Oliver, Johnson, Savage, Regeczi and one or two others have had considerable experience in basketball also. 12 A By FRED DE LANO With eight intersectional victories to their credit in 11 such games played this fall, Western Conference teams have given the country's grid fans added proof that the Confer- ence is the toughest football league in existence. Three Rose Bowl can- didates from the east, Pittsburgh, Colgate and-Army, have had their only defeats of the year given them, by Big Ten clubs. Only twice since the season opened have Conference teams been on the short end of scores in intersectional battles and one other game was a tie. Purdue dropped its opener to Rice Institute of Texas and Stanford took the measure of Northwestern's Wild- cats, 20-0 last month in Palo Alto. Indiana In Tie Undefeated Temple, "Pop Warner's aggregation from Philadelphia, was held to a 6-6 tie by Indiana. The, latter came back last week to down Maryland 17-14. Purdue aided the Conference record after its first de- Minnesota-Buckeye Game Chances Shim CHICAGO, Nov. 21. -- (A')- En- thusiasm for another "dream game" of the gridiron -a post-season clash between Minnesota's mighty array, and Ohio State's spectacular Buck- eyes for charity - tonight crashed headlong intoayWestern Conference rule prohibiting such a contest. Big Ten authorities were convinced that the game, which its sponsors plan for Ohio State's huge double- decked stadium Dec. 1, with a possible attendance of 81,000, would never ma- terialize. While Governor George White was bending every effort to enlist the in- terest of Governor Floyd Olson, of Minnesota, various Conference offi- cials said they saw no possibility. feat by beating Carnegie Tech 20-0 and Fordham 7-0. The three games that stand out the most are the ones in which three of the nation's favorites found Big Ten teams too tough to handle. Minnesota downed Pittsburgh, the team that last week dumped the previously unde- feated and untied Navy, early in the season by a 13-7 score, in one of itsI biggest steps toward the National! Championship. Ohio State played host to Andy Kerr and his Red Raiders from Col- gate October 20 and beat them 10-7. That is the only game Colgate has lost and its latest victim was Syra- cuse, another who until last Saturday boasted of a perfect record. Illini Top Army Another of the East's best teams, Army, invaded the Middle West with a plan of keeping its record unblem- ished but took a 7-0 licking fromt Illinois. That was also Army's only defeat and with it the rating of the Conference went a bit higher. The seventh and eighth intersec- tional wins that have been registered this year were victories for Michigan and Wisconsin over Georgia Tech and South Dakota State. Michigan's only win of the year was its sixth consecutive intersec- tional win, Cornell, Princeton and Harvard providing the Wolverines with the other five triumphs in recent years. Polo To Be Restored To Olympics Program BERLIN, Nov. 21 -(1P)- A return of polo to the sports program for the 1936 Olympics was announced today by Dr. Theodore Lewald, president of the German organizing committee. The return of polo to the program, he said, came as a result of Argen- tina's plea. It last was included in 1924, the United States losing to Ar- gentina in the final.
