Minnesota Team Presents
Offensive Composed Of
Three Forward Lines
Coach Eddie Lowrey and nine mem-
bers of the Varsity hockey squad will
entrain this afternoon for Minneap-j
olis, where they are scheduled to;
meet the Minnesota sextet in a two-I
game series tomorrow and Saturday.
The games, to be played at the Minne-j
apolis rink, are the first away from,
Ann Arbor for the team so far this!
season.
Minnesota Jinx Team
Minnesota has long been the jinx I
team on the Wolverine hockey sched-
ule, but the general feeling at the*
Coliseum is one of optimism with re-
gards to the coming encounters. The
Gophers have already dropped four
games this year, two to Yale by.
scores of 2 to 0, and 3 to 1, and two
to Manitoba.
Despite the fact that Minnesota
squad is known to be strong, and has
good reserve material, Coach Low-
rey plans to take only three spares
with him to relieve his forwards.
Walter Courtis and Gilbert McEach-
emn, who have been the first to go'
in as substitutes, will. be accompan--
ied by Ed Chase. Chase has seen
action in the last two games in Ann
Arbor, having scored a goal in his
initial appearance against Wiscon-
sin.
Wolverines Outpowered
The Gophers will present an of-
fense which in sheer power far ex-
ceeds Michigan's. Two veteran for-
ward lines will carry the brunt of the
attack, and will be supplemented by
a third line, composed of sophomores.
To face this aggregation, the Maize
and Blue regulars who have started
in every game this season will make
the trip. Headed by Co-captains
Johnny Sherf and Johnny Jewell,
left wing and goalie respectively, the
list includes Vic Heyliger,. center,
Dick Berryman, right wing, Don Mac-
Collum and Larry David, defense-
men.
Wisconsin Denies Report
Hockey Team Will Quitl
MADISON, Wis., Jan. 16 -(P) -
Guy Lowman, director of intramural
and minor sports at the University
of Wisconsin, today denied reports
that the university hockey team will
not complete its schedule. Lowman
said the team would round out the
season Feb. 8 and 9 with games with
the University of Minnesota at
Minneapolis.
The Wisconsin team met Michigan
in a two-game series at Ann Arbor
last week, but lost both games as it
failed to show any offensive strength.
The Wolverines won the first engage-
ment, 6 to,0, and the second, 2 to 1.
THE FOLLOWING letter is from a
student who appended the infor-
mation that he has been a "rail-bird"
at Michigan basketball practices for
six years. His intimation that Cap-
tain Plummer does not train is sub-
mitted without proof and snould be
i
,.

;

taken accordingly. His statement
that Dick Evans is the best guard on
the squad is, I think, a little strong.
Otherwise, what he says is sub-
stantially sound, at least in theory:
To the Editor:
There is a belief around camp-
us which I think is inaccurate.
Many have said that Coach Cap-
pon is a poor basketball coach.
I do not believe that. He will get
as much out of a given squad of
players as any other cage coach
immediately available to the au-
thorities. He did not want the
job when Veenker left, and is do-
ing more than his level best to
bring home a winner.
Believing as I do, I still sub-
mit for consideration the follow-
ing suggestions concerning the
present cage squad:
Michigan has the material for
two good basketball teams, not
one. Each team is the direct op-
posite of the other. One has
heighth, power, and fair shooting
eyes, while the other has speed,
short stature, and inferior shoot-
ing. One team should include
Patanelli, a good conservative
player who must be stimulated
to take more shots; Jablonski,
who should practice following in
shots; Tomagno, who is careless
in his ball handling and shooting
and who could be the outstand-
ing player on the team; Evans,
the best guard; and Meyers, who
rates second to Evans only. This
five should use a careful, set of-
fense, passing exclusively, and
score often on follow-in shots af-
ter Evans' long ones.
The other team might be made
up of Rieck, Rudness, Ford, Hill,
or Jennings, and Joslin or Gee.
Next semester Castle will be eli-
gible for the center position. A
team similar to this defeated the
Varsity handily last week and on
the next day defeated the first
freshman team that in turn de-
feated the Varsity.
This should be a fast breaking
offense team which uses speed
exclusively to score. The fast
breaking offense is easy to teach,
and these natural speedsters
should play five or seven minutes
of every half in order to change
the tempo of Michigan's attack.
Such a team could be taught to
move on offense so that the op-
ponents would tire quickly in
guarding them. Michigan has the
material for two good basketball
teams and they should use it.
I think that any player who is
not in the best condition should
be benched, and this applies par-
ticularly to Plummer. He should
be taught the responsibilities of
a Michigan captain. It is little
enough of a prerequisite to de-
mand good physical condition of
the players.
Alternating these two teams in
each half would not lose games
any faster than they are being
lost at present, that's sure. In
fact, the sudden change in tempo,
using the speedsters to tire out
the opposition, letting them give
"all" for five or ten minutes of
a half, would probably defeat
more opponents than the Wolv-
erines have been able to vanquish
as yet.
First Indoor Meet
Final time trials of the first}
semester for the Varsity track squad
will be held Saturday afternoon in
Yost Field House, with the entire
squad competing,Coach Chuck Hoyt
announced yesterday.
The trials will mark the end of
first-semester training for the entire,
squad, individual practice being the!
order for next week and during the
examination period, until the first
meet, theMichigan A.A.U.event to
be held February 9 in the Field
House.

A. A. U. First of Five Meets
The A.A.U. meet, opening the in-
door season, will be the first of five
successive week-end engagements,
culminating with the team's defense
of its Conference title March 9 at
Chicago.
The Wolverines will journey to
Minneapolis Feb. 15 for the only dual
meet away from home and will end
the indoor season two weeks after
the Conference meet, March 23, with
the Butler Relays.
Ward's First Appearance
Saturday's events will be the first
appearance in such time trials of
Willis Ward, who will again form the
nucleus of the Michigan team. Ward,
who did not report for practice until
after the Christmas holidays, follow-
ing a strenuous grid season, was
given his first hard workout Tuesday,
and reported he was fast approach-
ing top condition.
Coach Hoyt announced that the
entire squad would be called upon to
make its best showing Saturday al-
though times will not be released.
Personnel of the team for its indoor
season will depend largely upon
showings in the trials.
The events will begin at 3 p. m.

Plans Announced'
Final 'plans for the Union swim-
ming program, including a ten-mile
swim and the formulation of an all-
campus team, were announced yes-
terday by Wencel Neumann, the
student executive councilman.
More than 40 students are expected
to enter the ten-mile race, for which
registration has already started. Ac-
tual competition will be held over a
five-week period beginning Monday,
Feb. 11, and ending Saturday, March
16.
Each competitor will swim two
miles a week. The place-winners in
the event will be determined March
16 when all entrants who have com-
pleted the necessary requirements
will swim the last ten laps against
time.
Only letter-winners and members
of the Varsity swimming squad are
excluded from the competition and
all freshmen are eligible to compete.
The Union all-campus swimming
team is already being organized un-
der the direction of Matt Mann,
coach of the Varsity squad, who will
coach tlie team for both Union and
intramural events. Free swimming
privileges will be granted to members
of the team.
It was emphasized that both frat-
ernity men and independents are in-
vited to register for the team at the
swimming pool offices in the Union
basement.
