WEDNESDAY. APIL 3,1935 TIHE MICHIGAN DAILY Vacation Halts Grid Workouts; Lioht Drill Held Kipke Emphasizes Lateral And Forward Passing Work For All Freshmen Important Yearlings Push Veterans For Positions; Weber Is Pleased With Results With the press of midsemester ex- aminations upon it the football squad packed away cleats and padding yes- terday after a long but light workout to await the re-opening of school fol- lowing spring vacation. Attendance was scanty at the final drill. It was mostly a freshman outfit that Harry Kipke had to work with. and, in fact, ends were so scarce that Connolly and Howard, two backfield candidates had to be called to the wings on the defensive team Kipke lined up for a light scrimmage. For about three quarters of an hour previous to the scrimmage the entire collection of miscellaneous gridders cavorted over the field in a touchball game. The coaching staff hopes that by these touch scrimmages which per- mit wide-open lateral and liberal for- ward passing to develop the ball handling ability of the entire team A squad was chosen afterwards, to run through new offensive plays. Er- nie Johnson and George Ghesquire were at ends, Bob Schroeder and Earle Luby at tackles, George Marzoni and Ernest Pederson at guards, Sta Schuman at center, Harry Pillenger at quarter, Norm Nickerson at full back and Johnny Smithers and Star Ritchie at halves. Ed Greenwald, who sprained an ankle early last week, was on the sidelines and did not take his ac- customed place at tackle, although he did take part in the touchball game, intercepting a pass and running for a touchdown. That the freshman material will be counted upon rather heavily next fall is no secret. This was further ac- centuated last night when Coach Wally Weber was interviewed for in- formation about the leading candi- dates for the Chicago Alumni Trophy for the outstanding freshman of spring practice. He declined outright to mention any single man or any group of men. Rather, he mentioned almost the whole freshman squad. This has been, so far, the best spring practice in his four years here, he said, because of the number of wide open positions, and the promis- ing freshman material pushing the veterans who have shown up., Golfers Begin Practice On University Course Among the more than 100 golfers who celebrated the opening of the University Golf Course over the week- end, were Johnny Fischer, Dana See- ley, Carroll Sweet, and Allan Saund- ers. The lowest score, however, was made by John Cameron, a freshman from Texas who toured the course in a snappy 73. Sweet and Seeley card- ed 80's, and Saunders had an 81. Fischer did not play a complete round and turned in no card. Until the return of Professor True- blood, coach, the following eight men have been temporarily extended the privileges of the course free of charge as comprising the Varsity squad: Johnny Fischer, Chuck Kocsis, Woody Malloy, Cal Markham, Carroll Sweet, Dana Seeley, Larry David, and Allan Saunders. The course is in excellent shape for this time of year, and is having a large play considering the inclement weather. ANGELL WINS SQUASH TITLE Robert Angell defeated Karl Litzen- berg yesterday in the finals of the faculty squash tournament. Angell, who was runner-up last year, and Litzenberg are now competing in the city open squash tournament.

Swim COACH Harry Kipke is very much afraid that his 1935 line will suffer from the same affliction that render- ^d the 1934 forward wall so incap- able of a good offense or defense.. That affliction is "elephantisis" or, in words of one syllable, too much beef. Kipke didn't say whether he meant beefiness of the cerebral cavity or 3around the midriff, but we'll be chari- table and take his remarks to mean he latter. No use recalling that men- al giants were few on the 1934 squad. You may recall how Michigan's line outweighed every line they opposed all season by about 10 pounds per man. You also may recall some of the scores - 34 to 0, 27 to 0, 16 to 0, all in favor of the other team. The conclusion is fairly obvious. Those extra 10 pounds in modern open football are just so many individual anch- ors keeping 'the men from being in the righ' place at the right time. Kipke fears the same thing this year. In Matt Patanelli, John Vier- gever, Mike Savage, and Harry Wright, almost sure starters, he al- ready has a quartet averaging about 210. Add to this a couple of hefty guards and Schroeder or Greenwald Psychology Note: Find A Good Miler And Quit Worrying By WILLIAM R. REED That the value of at least one good miler on any track team is not only real but psychological is borne out by numerous instances. Coming as it does, the frst event on the stand- ard schedule of events, a good show- ing, expected or unexpected, tends to lend enthusiasm to a team in the following events. Two examples of that tendency were given during the indoor season, in the Ohio State dual meet and in the Conference meet. Against Ohio State, three Wolverine runners, Cap- tain Harvey Smith, Clayton Brels- ford, and Harry O'Connell, ran away from the field to score a slam in the opening event, leading the way to the team's smashing victory which was in many ways the most impres- sive of the victorious indoor sched- ule. Again in the Conference meet the three runners came in to place, Brels- ford winning the event in which he had been picked to finish no better than fourth, Smith taking second af- ter a week's illness, and O'Connell staggering across for a point in fifth place. Those showings prefaced' the team's record-breaking total in win- ning the meet. Perhaps the best example of the influence of a surprise showing in the mile was in the Conference out- door meet of 1932 when Harmon Wolfe, hardly picked to place, ran one of the best races of his life to take a second place in the mile run, set-- ting the pace for unexpected per- formances by the entire Michigan team, enabling the Wolverines to take the team title. With that influence recognized, Michigan's team will be conceded some advantage against California in the meet April 13 at Berkeley, with three milers all capable of placing. Harvey Smith, in his first outdoor showing of the year is expected to win the mile, while Clayton Brels- ford and Harry O'Connell are both conceded excellent chances of mak- ing the event a slam. Smith has done 4:21.7 in the event indoors, al- most three full seconds better than the best time of Tom Healy, the Golden Bears' leading miler, while Brelsford and O'Connell are both ex- pected to threaten Heavey outdoors at a tackle, and you have another' very heavy line. There is, of course, no objection to weight if speed is combined with it, but the two seldom mix. Today a good little man may be better than a good big man, at least, speed is be- coming a more important factor every, year.j Getting down to actual men, we find that Kipke is counting on vet- erans for five positions, and expect- ing the freshmen to fill two. If he were to name a starting line-up today he would have Patanelli and Savage at the ends, Viergever and Schroeder or Greenwald at the tackles, Hanshue .nd /arzoni at guards, and Harry Wright at center. That, of course, is very prob- lematical. It depends on Wright's learning how to play out of the line on defense, and of Hanshue's ~ecovery from an operation which he will undergo either Friday or Saturday of this week, as well as a host of "if's" which will arise before Oct. 5. Kipke counts on Marzoni, tough Flint midget, to play a regular guard and give his ball carriers some in- terference on plays where the guards pull out of the line to block. Mar- zoni has the stuff, Kipke thinks, to be one of the finest little guards ever produced here. Pederson is a fairly* good sophomore guard but he isn't nearly as fast as Marzoni. Greenwald and Schroeder are both big, raw-boned boys with fine prep -chool records and outstanding suc- cess with the freshmen last fall. Either may hold down the tackle post opposite Viergever, especially if Wright remains at center. Kipke sees no reason why Pat- anelli and Savage shouldn't be among the best ends in the Con- ference this fall and needs only a couple of capable reserves. Frank Lett has been shifted from end to guard, and, according -to Kipke, will be a better guard than he was an end. Ernie Johnson will be back to un- derstudy the regulars and Kipke sees two potentially great ends coming up in Ghesquiere and Valpey, members of the freshman team.

Rudness was listed as a pitcher early in spring practice this year, but he developed a sore arm which he has not been able to get rid of as yet. If his wing should limber up in warmer climes, he, in addition to patroling center field, would be available as a hurler. Heyliger and Meyers are going on the baseball tour as twooutfielders. The latter is a hurler of no mean abil- ity, however, and Heyliger has been learning the catching angle for the past two weeks.
