T HE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1935 Goalie, Defense Still In Doubt For Opening Hockey Game -- Smith, Simpson Beside Captain'i Cage Squad Will Encounter First Real Test Saturday Night I I'll t ' Irving Shalek Not Sure Of Starting- Saturday Against London Lowe Given Trial Call For Freshmen Puck Chasers Issued; Expect Large Turnout Still undecided about two positions on the Varsity hockey team, Coach Eddie Lowrey sent his charges through a long dri~il on the Coliseum ice last night in preparation for the opening game of the season with Loiidon Saturday evening. The close rivalry for the defensive post next to Captain Larry Davis is still going on between Bob Simpson, consistent Duluth sophomore, and Bert Smith, flashy freshman star of last year. Lowrey Worried The goalie's post, more than any- thing else, was worrying Coach Low- rey last night as he gave Reed Lowe a trial in the nets. Irving Shalek, a roston boy who had been improving steadily since he came out for the team this winter, has not performed well in recent work-outs and Lowrey is taking no chances of being caught without a substitute goalie in the event that Shalek failes to make the grade. Lowe was not particularly impres- sive last night as the Wolverine for- wards pressed in on him with a bar- rage of shots, but he is perhaps a little quicker than Shalek when it comes to moving alertly in the nets to meet the attacks of oncoming sharpshooters. Furnish Sticks Lowrey said he would continue to use both boys in the nightly prac- tice sessions and let them get all the practice they can before the London encounter. Simpson and Smith, likewise, will continue to battle over the vacant de- fensive post and whichever boy shows the most between now and Saturday will start. A call for freshmen hockey play- ers was made by Lowrey yesterday as he asked all freshmen hockey men to report at the Coliseum Friday at 6 p.m. Freshmen must bring all their own equipment with the exception of sticks which are furnished by the University. About 80 men reported last winter and the total is likely to approach that figure again this year Slice Yearling Cage Squad T 29 Candidates A freshly sliced Freshman basket- ball squad of 24 men went through its first afternoon practice at the Intramural Sports Building yester- day. Coach Fisher said yesterday that Thursday's cut would be the last large. one but that the present squad would be cut down to 18 or 20 men eventual- ly. Those remaining on the squad to date are. Howard Bu, Ann Arbor; Robert Dewitt, Detroit; Herbert Cis- co, Detroit; Leslie McCreath, Lock- Sport, N. Y.; Max Warnshaw, Dodge City, Kansas; Leo Beebe, Dearborn; Albert Monus, Youngstown, 0.; Lar- ry Newton, Sterling, Col.; William Edwards, Muskegon; Sam Hender- son, Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Ben Weaver,I Indianapolis, Ind.; and Hugh Hae- meyer, Detroit. Franklin Shull, Jr., Ann Arbor;+ Gray Nelson, Ann Arbor; Bob Mitch- ell, Ann Arbor; Walter Peckinpaugh, 1 Cleveland, O.; John Nicholson, Elk- hart, Ind.; Richard Long, Butler, Ind.; Dan Smick, Hazel Park and Vincent Valek, Holly; also remain on the squad. Edward Phillips, Jr., Bradford, Pa.; Don Bagnetto, Superior, Wis.; Louis Levine, Muskegon Heights; Walter Hook, East Grand Rapids; Forrest Jordon, Clare; Alix Loiko, Ham- tramck; Fred Janke, Jackson; Clar- ence Vandewater, Holland and Ed- ward Stanton, Charleston, W. Va. are among those still remaining. t The HOT STOVE By BILL REED ONE of the most interesting duals of the year will take place in the State-Michigan basketball game here Saturday night with the meeting of the state's two outstanding pivot players, Maurice Buysee and John Townsend. Townsend, Michigan's sophomore star, is by all odds the greatest pivot man ever to play for the Wolverines and Buysee, a junior who played but one Varsity season, two years ago, is the best in Spartan history and the most publicized player central Mich- igan has ever had. The meeting will be one of two great offensive players (not that either neglects the- other depart- ment of play, however), but a. contrast in styles. Buysee, six-feet, three inches tall, is a product of Lansing St. Mary's High School and has established a reputation not only with Spartan teams but as a star in amateur loops, in which he played last winter. The principal feature of Buysee's play is a looping shot at the basket with his left hand, and although blind, a shot which rarely misses. With his rangi- ness and his spectacular shot, Buysee is an offensive threat of the most po- tent variety. Townsend, on the other hand, is equally potent as an offensive threat, but not as a scorer himself. His un- canny ball handling and passing have distinguished him as probably the most outstanding "feeder" ever to play on the Michigan floor. Six feet, five, he will have an advantage on Buysee in physical proportions and in polish, and will have an added ad- vantage in the effectiveness of his teaming with his brother Earle. The infiuence of the notorious three-second rule will be felt more by Buysee than by Town- send, as the former is largely de- pendent on an advantageous po- sition'which is naturallywithin the restricted area. The big Spar- tan, called "Rubber Arms" by his teammates, has played in two games with State this year, and Friday night against Wisconsin was held scoreless for the first time iin his collegiate career. The three-second rule was general- ly conceded as handicapping him, as he scored but nine points against Albion in State's opener. Defensively, however, Buysee remains effective as he outpointed his Albion opponent and held his Badger opponent score- less also. Although Michigan cannot neglect the offensive abilities of the rest of the Spartan team, especially the flashy Ron Garlock at guard, its de- fense for the State game will be di- rected principally toward - holding down Buysee. And the method em- ployed will be simply to keep the ball away from him, a plan made possible by the Michigan height advartage. Moscrip May Not Play In 1936 Rose Bowl Tilt PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 9.-(.4)-- Accorded an even chance of play- ing football in the ose Bowl, Monk Moscrip, Stanford end who sustained a fractured jaw and dislocated knee cartilages in the California game, was given a pair of crutches and his release from the hospital last week. Whether the knee will stand the pressure of actual competition will remain unknown until the Indians resume practice on Dec. 15. If Mos- crip plays, he will wear a leather mask over his law. Cappon Drills Varsity Hard For State Tilt' Gee's Knee Injury Gives Reserves Opportunity To Work With Varsity i Dive Of Dives And Six Champs Will Feature Swimming Gala .I With John Gee on the bench with a knee injury received at the opening of the second half of the Michigan Normal game last Saturday night, Coach Cappon gave his reserves an opportunity to work out with the Var- sity combination in an offensive drill in preparation for Michigan's first real test against Michigan State Sat- urday night at Yost Field House. Gee Plays Safe Gee's injury is not serious Ray Roberts, trainer, said and the big cen- ter will be scrimmaging again today. He was kept out of practice yester- day, Roberts said, just to play safe. John Jablonski and Matt Patenel- li, both regulars last year, played the vacated pivot position and both showed up well. Patanelli's style of passing, which resemble that of the Townsend brothers, worked well with the first team formations. Cappon also tried Earl Meyers, an- other regular in 1935, in Capt. Chelso Tomagno's guard post and Herm Fishman, sophomore, in George Rud- ness' position at the other guard. The Varsity was hampered by pas- sing too well, if such is possible, and passed up open shots, prefering to let the next man take the shot. Passes Too Much The responsibility for this malady can probably be put on the shoulders of the Townsends, principally John's. They handle the ball as well as any cagers Michigan has ever had and seem to get real enjoyment out of passing with the result that they keep on passing despite openings. Cappon got little additional infor- mation on his Varsity quintet from the Normal game for the team, using' its superior height to excellent ad- vantage, scored with ease and con- trolled the ball, giving the Hurons lit- tle chance to test their defense. When the Teachers did try to score they were unable to pierce the Wolverine strict man-to-man defense. Cardinals Release old Bob O'Farrell ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.- (A) - Catcher Bob O'Farrell, who helped the St. Louis Cardinals win a pennant in 1926, managed the team in 1927 and returned last year as third string catcher, today was given his uncon- ditional release. Branch Rickey made the announce- ment but did not elaborate on the release of the man who in 1926 was voted the most valuable player in the National League. O'Farrell remained with the club through 1933. He was sold to the Cincinnati Reds and appointed man- ager of the Reds for 1934. Deposed there as manager, he was sold to the Chicago Cubs for the remainder of the 1934 campaign, after which he was released and signed by the Cards. By GEORGE J. ANDROS A dive never before attempted any- where and the presence of six na- tional spring-board champions will be two of the features of the Olympic Preparation Swimming Gala to be held Friday, Dec. 13 in the Intra- mural Pool. Ben Grady and Der Johnston will do a double-two-and-a-half forward somersault off the high board. In this dive, both performers take off from one board at the same time, spin through the air together, and enter the water side by side. There is no record of any team of double divers ever having succeeded in doing this difficult dive, but Johnson and Grady have been doing it all week in practice with perfect suc- cess. Many Champions The above mentioned members of Coach Matt Mann's Varsity squad, along with teammates Ned Diefen- dorf and Capt. Frank Fehsenfeld are former National Junior A.A.U. diving champions. Capt. Fehsenfeld is also the present holder of the National Collegiate high and low-board titles. . Two other divers who will perform are at present national champions. Dick Degener, who holds three Na- tional Senior A.A.U. titles and is rec- ognized as the world's premier diver of all time, and Hal Benham, pres- ent National Junior A.A.U. cham- pion from the Indianapolis A.C., will also be on hand togtake part in the huge show. Degener was Na- tional Collegiate champion from Michigan in 1933 and 1934. Dick Papenguth, former Wolverine captain and at present coach of the Indianapolis A. C. squad, and Adie Ferstenfeld, Varsity performer, will complete the list of spring-board art- ists who will show their wares. Puts On Comic Act Papenguth will put on a comic act that rates as one of the best. Capt. Fehsenfeld is one of his pupils, and won -the National Junior title under him while a student at Short- ridge High School in Indianapolis. Each diver in this gallant array of stars will give the audience a taste of the orthodox dives that gained him national honors, and several comic interludes have been planned in the way of individual performances and elaborate acts. Diefendorf will of course do his "Coca-Cola" dive; Fehsenfeld, the "Indiana Slip"; Grady, the "Cannon- ball"; and Ferstenfeld, the "Around- the-corner Susie" dive. s! * * I !' f PnX11 I'' * , M sGet New Low Fares Other Information CUC From Greyhound ti 'ctiveAgent "4 b C.
