Eligibility Standings In Doubt Pending Committee Action First Reports Are Unfounded States Agler Varsity Athletes' Standings Must Be Passed On In Meeting Feb. 19 The biennial shadow of ineligibil- ity remained over the camp of Var- sity athletes today pending definite action by the Eligibility Committee of the Board in Control of Physical Education. The committee will make its report following a meeting Feb. 19. All reports on the eligibility status of Varsity athletes previously an- nounced are unfounded, according to Prof. Ralph Aigler, chairman of the Eligibility Committee, who pointed out that only action by the committee can be conclusive. The committee must pass on the standing of all Varsity athletes, its report being submitted to Western Conference and intercollegiate of- ficials as final. Athletes ineligible during the past semester who will be permitted to compete in intercollegiate competi- tion pending action of the committee may be assumed to have regained their status, however, Prof. Aigler said. Included in that group are Tay- lor Drysdale, swimming captain, Jack Kasley, Paul Keeler and Ned Diefen- dorf, swimmers, and Dick Castle,. sophomore basketball player. Without definite action by the committee they will be assumed to have removed the restrictions on their standings. Keeler, a transfer from Colgate, has completed two semesters of resi- dence while the others have removed scholastic bars. While other Varsity coaches were awaiting final action on eligibilities, Coach Eddie Lowrey announced that the hockey team would be weakened by the loss of Gil McEachern, re- serve wing, who left schoolrat the close of the first semester. McEach- ern was one of two experienced re- serves on the squad. Abolish Davis Cup Qualifying Rounds LONDON, Feb. 12-()-All na- tions will be eligible to challenge in the European Zone for the Davis Cup beginning next year as the result of a correspondence ballot, the Davis Cup committee here announced to- day. Twenty nations voted to abolish qualifying rounds while seven voted to retain them. Another move, to make the ccm- petition biennial, failed when 19 na- tions voted in the negative against 13 affirmatives. Decision to put these questions to a vote was made at the last meeting of the Davis Cup council here last year. HOLD TIME TRIALS Time trials in the mile-run will be held today at ost Field House to pick the second entry in that event in the Michigan-Minnesota dual meet to be held Friday at Minneapolis. The squad will leave Ann Arbor at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

With three games to play Bill is only 10E points behind Cottom's 1934 total.j Purdue's sophomore forward, Bob Kessler, has a record almost as good as the leader's, averaging well over 10 points a game. Outstanding among the newcomers are Whitlinger and Wilson of Ohio State, who between them are keeping the Buckeyes in the upper half of the Conference stand- ings. The other two new men are Black- mer of Iowa and Baker of Minnesota.

Jack Harrod, ace undefeated 145-pounder hurt his rib in practice Monday and will not be; able to leave Thursday afternoon to make the Eastern trip with the team. This is the third successive year that Harrod has been put out of action by a rib injury. This season it seemed as though the rib jinx had disappeared, but Monday afternoon it came again. Keen then planned to use Louis Mascuruskus in the space left , by Harrod but Mascuruskus twisted a shoulder muscle in a practice bout with Seymour Rubin yesterday and may not be available for service nextC week. To top it off, the 118-pound class has been left vacant by the ineligibil- ity of Chuck Brooks and Bob Mintz. The prospect of one of the 126-pound-1 ers making the weight for this class; is not bright and the bout in that! event may have to be forfeited. However, Keen is endeavoring to whip the rest of the team into shape for the Eastern invasion. Both Wash- ington and Lee and West Virginia have strong squads and the Wolver- ines will have their work cut out for them. The matmen will probably leave Thursday afternoon for the meets which will take place Feb. 16 at West Virginia and Feb. 18 at Washington rand Lee. The only men certain of their posi- tions at the present time are Wally _ Heavenrich at 135 pounds, Frank Bis- sell in the 155 or 165 class and Harry , Wright in the heavyweight division. J The remaining positions will be de- termined today by Keen. EX-WOLVERINE RETIRES ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.- (P) - Pitcher Bill McAfee,ofethe St. Louis Browns, has been placed on the "voluntary retired list' to enter personal business with his father, the Browns' business office announced today. Used as a re- lief hurler last season, McAfee had a part in 28 games, was credited with one victory and no losses.

Others who have reported are Ber- ger Larson, who showed promise as a freshman in 1932, but dropped out of school the following two years, Ron- ald Wolfe, a reserve last year, McClin- tic and Anderson, newcomers. Capt. Russ Oliver, who will spend most of his time in the infield this spring, and George Rudness, ineligible last year, but who has first crack at one of the two vacant outfield posts, will also fill in as pitchers when they finish their basketball season. In natural ability, George Butler, lanky right hander, is the brightest prospect. He has a good fast ball, sharp curve, and rapidly-developing change of pace. If he stands the test in actual competition, he will make Fisher a good pitcher. Coach Fisher will give his hurlers ten days in which to limber up. Dur- ing the last week in February, infield- ers and outfielders will be called out, and batting practice will begin in the cages. COR BETT'S on Lowe Net To Get Workout In This Week; May MICHAELS STERN SUITS & O'COATS Accompany Team The search for a successor to John- ny Jewell, former Michigan goalie, still goes on with Coach Eddie Lowrey now taking an especial interest in what the Intramural ranks have to offer in the form of a capable tender. Hoping to discover some latent talent Ssomewhere, somehow, Lowrey is ready to look at anything on skates. Bill Chase, who holds down the job at present, managed to turn in a shut-out performance against the Ontario Aggies Monday in his first appearance as a Varsity player and above all as a goalie. However, the Cardinal wingmen didn't give Chase much of a test, and Lowrey was con- sequently unable to ascertain the true extent of his ability. Lowe Will Get Trial Reed Lowe, sophomore puckster, will get a workout in the nets this week to determine whether or not he is worthy to be taken along with Chase to Houghton this week end for the two-game series with Mich- igan Tech. In the meantime, speculation to the effect that Dick Berryman, reg- ular right wing at present, might snake a good goalie, mainly on the strength of his experience as a base- ball catcher, was being seriously con- sidered by Lowrey yesterday. Berry- man may try his hand at batting the puck away from the goal in this week's practice sessions. to snare baskets from impossible angles instead of passing the ball to a teammate. Both Gee and Joslin looked like the. stuff of which bad dreams are made 1when they got "in the slot" under Minnesota's basket on offense; Nor- man fed the ball to his mates for easy "dogs" in the first half and stepped away from the ungainly Gee for three consecutive baskets on re- verse shots in the second period. One effect of the near-perfect bal- ance of the whole squad is the strain it places on players fighting for start- ing positions, especially since Cappon has not seen fit to name a first team and stick to it since his early-season plans were wrecked. A member of the squad expressed the idea yesterday when he said that he felt as though he was playing VALENTINE'S DAY Thursday, February 14th Going Strong 11 Send a GREETING CARD A large and select stock suitable for anybody anywhere.

The strain is showing through dur- ing practice these days. Russ Oliver is the only one who grins when a misplay is made. The others look a shade more grim and throw the ball into the stands a little more often. 0. D.
