Although the showing of the team
was highly pleasing to Coach Frank-
lin Cappon in its distinct improve-
ment, careful ironing-out of the sev-
eral flaws exhibited and a general
polishing process has been ordered.
The immediate objective of the
squad is a victory over Western State1
Teachers College, perennial small
college champions of the state, to-
morrow night at Kalamazoo. Dis-
tinctly heartened by Saturday's vic-
tory, a win over the Hilltoppers is
more than a prospect.
Retains Six-Footers
The Michigan State game gave
credit to Coach Cappon's determina-
tion to retain his lineup of six-foot-
ers, and no immediate change in that
lineup is considered. Although short
of displaying the degree of polish
which Cappon expects of a team
which will go far in Conference
circles, the team reflected his faith
in its potentialties.
Especially pleasing to Cappon was
the defensive showing of the team,
which allowed the Spartan quintet
but three field goals in the first half,
none of them coming on breaks un-
der the basket. Although the de-
fense showed signs in the second per-
iod of slackening, much in the man-
ner of the Michigan State Normal
game, the Spartans never offered a
definite threat against the Wolver-
ine lead.
The only threat against the Mich-
igan lead came in the last period as
the Wolverine reserves entered the
game and the Spartan offense began
to function effectively under the
basket.
Joslin Shows Improvement
The work of Dick Joslin showed the
greatest improvement in the defens-
ive department, according to Cappon,
and his shift to the back court on
defense appears to be permanent.
Joslin was also working effectively
off the backboards, especially during
the first half, and his brilliant recov-
eries led to several scores, as he regis-
tered one spectacular tip-in shot for
his own part.
The play of John Gee at center
which featured the game also came in
for considerable comment at yester-
day's practice. Gee, who led the
Wolverine scoring with 13 points, was
generally credited with displaying
some of the form which the coaching
staff had hoped to realize.
Scores On Pivot Shot
Especially effective in Gee's play
was the left-hand pivot shot just
away from the basket, with which he
counted four times, a tip-in follow
shot and a long shot, with one foul
goal, completing his scoring.
Gee also showed considerable form
at the pivot position, directing the
attack. On the jump at center Gee
was able to control the ball for the
most part, but the big sophomore was
taken aside following yesterday's
practice by Coach Bennie Ooster-

He says that Hanley was cor-

cause he taught "dirty" football
and encouraged shallow heroics,
such as playing without head-

Undoubtedly there are dirty foot-
ball teams and clean ones - and
Northwestern hasn't been among the
latter during the last few years. If
there were 40 officials on the field in-
stead of four a team that wanted to
"get" someone could do it with little
fear of penalty.

Heyliger, Berryman Show
Marked Improvement;
Defense AirTight
Slightly recovered from the dis-
appointment of having missed a
chance to topple the leaders of the
Michigan-Ontario Hockey League,
Coach Eddie Lowrey found himself
able to pronounce last Saturday's per-
formance against Chatham as the
best of the season.
Vic Heyliger and Dick Berryman,
the only sophomores on the team,
were pointed out as the most im-
proved players of the week-end - not
only defensively but offensively.
Berryman has probably come the
farthest of the two. Unable to show
much in his first two games, he
seemed to gain confidence against
Chatham and besides being an im-
portant cog in forming one of the
tightest defenses seen on Coliseum ice,
showed an aggressiveness on- offense
which surprised fans who have seen'
him in action before.
One of the most encouraging as-
pects of the game was the comeback
of Heyliger. After an ineffectual
performance the week before, the
Wolverine center bore out the con-
\iction of Lowrey that he has great
possibilities by his good defensive
work and fine puck handling against'
the Maroons. His coach was not
thoroughly satisfied, however, point-
ing out that he is weak on "crash-
ing" the defense once he has worked
the puck through the opposing for-
wards. Lowrey plans to drill him
on this important phase of the solo
dash this week and expects to see
him hit the net Wednesday against
McMaster University.
Michigan's stellar defense men,
Larry David and Red MacCollum,
and John Jewell, goalie, had one of
their best nights, Jewell giving the
fans anxious moments with his'num-
erous headlong slides in front of the
net.
Johnny Sherf, suffice it to say,
was responsible for the Michigan
score and broke Goalie Peardon's
string of shut-outs with a twang,

BATON ROUGE, La., Dec. 17 -P)
- The Louisiana Tigers, plucky little
band of football players, were sitting
in the middle tonight of the heated
row between their coach, Capt. Law-
rence (Biff) Jones and Louisiana's
boss politician, Huey Long.
They were wondering if their coach
could survive the heated argument
he had with Long during the Ore-
gon-L.S.U. game Saturday when
Jones refused to let Long talk to the
team at the half when the Tigers
were trailing.
Jones said last night he was going
fishing but today showed up at the
University football office as usual. He
had no definite comment about his
resignation plans, however.
"I still have nothing to say," he
remarked. "I just didn't go on the
trip."
Long challenged Jones' authority
to prevent his talking to the squad
and the conversation went something
like this:
"I want to talk to the team," said
Long.
"No," replied Jones.
"Who will stop me if I do?"
'Well, you won't talk'."
"You had better win this game."
"Well, if I don't I guess I'm
through?" asked Jones.
"Yes," answered Long.
"Well, get this. Win, lose or draw,
I'm through," shouted Jones, tremb-
ling in anger.
"All right," yelled Long.
Long did not talk to the team at
the half, but Jones did and the Tigers
came out and won the game by one
point.
NOT TALL ENOUGH
Fred Fechtman, six-foot nine inch
sophomore center at Indiana, played
little basketball in high school be-
cause he wasn't tall enough, the last
foot of his height coming in the last
few years.
The meet will also, play a large
part in helping Coach Cliff Keen
deteimine who will be his starting
mWen against Michigan State on Jan.
12. Most of the positions are unde-
cided so far, and the wrestlers
who make the best showing in the
next two .days will probably have the
best chance for the starting position.
The preliminaries will begin at 3
p.m. tomorrow and the finals will be
run off at 4 p.m. Thursday. Each pre-
liminary bout will take seven minutes
while the finals will be allowed ten
minutes.
A one-minute time advantage in the
main bout will be sufficient for a vic-
torious decision, while if the bout goes
into an overtime period 30 seconds will
be considered adequate advantage.
In the meet, which is open to any
regularly enrolled student on campus,
a weight allowance of two pounds in
each class will be allowed. The winner
in each weight-class will be given a
gold medal signifying that he is the
University champion.
