WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY David Back To Lead Hockey Six Against Ilderton v - - Merrill Ousts Fabello From Post In Line Capacity Crowd Expected In Third Contest Of The Season In Coliseum That Captain Larry David- has re- covered sufficiently from his shoulder injury to play against the Ilderton Athletic Club in the first Varsity hockey game of 1936 at the Coliseum tonight was announced by Coach Eddie Lowrey after he had sent his charges through a long practice drill last night. Jack Merrill will start on right wing in place of Johnny Fabello and Reed Low will again be in the nets for the Wolverines. Lowrey has decided to string along with the same goalie who started in the first two games of the season. Have Veteran Team The Ilderton club is scheduled to arrive in Ann Arbor at 5 p.m. and will leave directly after the game for Detroit. Finalists in last year's in- termediate O.H.A., Ilderton will pre- sent a veteran team which at present is atop an excellent Canadian League. The Ilderton offense is built around two brothers, Bruce and Joe Given, who have teamed together so far this season to lead the team in total points. With Michigan back at full strength for the first time since the initial game of the year with Lon- don, a real battle is in sight. Hey- liger and Berryman have both been looking better in practice than ever before and the Canadians, who seem confident of giving Michigan a real drubbing, stand an excellent chance of getting the surprise of their lives. To Test Low With Larry David back to aid big Bert Smithon defense, Low should get some real protection and he will have no alibi if he becomes a twine plucker tonight, according to Lowrey. The Wolverines will be better for- tified with reserve strength tonight than they have been in a long time. Lowrey will have available, and plans to use Bob Simpson as an alternate defenseman and both Johnny Fa- bello and Dick Griggs will see con- siderable action on the forward line. To Be Real Battle Michigan is eager for a victory tonight to avenge the defeat handed them by McMaster University on the Thursday preceding the holidays. If they can beat Ilderton tonight they will be given at least an even chance of stopping the strong Cha- tham Maroons who play here Satur- day. With Vic Heyliger trying for early goals and ably supported by flying DickBerryman and Jack Merrill, the game should resolve itself into a battle of two spectacular offenses in the kind of a game which keeps the spectators on their feet and the red lights flashing. The game is scheduled to com- mence at 8 p.m. A capacity crowd is anticipated and the usual admis- sion prices will prevail. LINE-UP Michigan P os.

Given Ineligibility Bogey Halts Grid Practice After a perusal of the scholastic records of his charges, Coach Harry G. Kipke has decided against the idea of bringing out the footballs for winter practice, at least until the second semester begins next month. "I'm afraid I'll have to let them study a while longer," Kipke said. "The practice wouldn't do us any good if they should fall down in their class work and be, ineligible. And, anyway, most of my boys engage in one or more of the winter sports and haven't much spare time these days." The coach said he would issue a call for some of the slower-footed football men, not otherwise engaged, to practice sprints on the indoor track in Yost Field House to improve their running, but explained that there would be no ball-handling until the second semester.

SOME SPECTATORS at the Michigan-Indiana basketball game Monday ' night noticed a close resemblance between the Hoosier defensive style, which checked the Wolverine's offense so successfully, and the defense that Coach Tony Hinkle introduced in the second half of the Michigan-Butler1 contest at Indianapolis last Thursday. Those who noticed the coincidencet also recalled that Coach Dean had brought his Hoosier quintet to that game to see the Varsity win 26 to 23. Trailing at the end of the first half by a 14 to 10 score, the Bulldogs came into the second half and rushed Michigan in their back-court so successfully that the Wolverines were unable to cross the 10-second line to work any of the plays around Jake Townsend which had given them their first period lead. With about 12 minutes of the second half gone the Varsity found that it had scored but a few points while Butler had built up a seemingly comfortable lead. 0 The whole Indiana team watched Toy Jones and Ralph Brafford, Butler guards, rush Rudness, Tamagno, Evans, and Fishman and stop them almost every time that they tried to bring the ball down the floor. Dean and his boys saw that Hinkle recognized that Jake Townsend's passing was not to be stopped once Michigan got down the floor. They also saw that the Varsity could be stopped if they didn't get down the floor. Coach Cappon expected Indiana to use such an aggressive defense and he drilled his team in out-maneuver- ing such a style. The Hoosiers, how- ever, showing themselves to be the best defensive team in the Confer- ence, were not to be out-maneuvered. Not once during the 40-minutes of1 play did they allow the Wolverines to work a set play. Carrying Hinkle's idea farther the big Crimson five not only rushed Michigan in the .back court but continued these tactics once the Varsity crossed the mid- dle of the floor. This was es- pecially true of the men guarding Michigan's back line. Rudness and the other men in that back line did the obvious thing when they saw that Hoosiers were rushing them and faked around the close-guarding players. But Dean had figured on this and had Huffman and Fechtman, who were checking Jake Towns- end and Gee in the front line, shifting to the driving Wolverine while the back line defense would pick up Jake and Gee. This addition to Hinkle's ideas ab- solutely stymied Michigan's attack as the 7,500 fans who saw the game will remember and forced the Wol- verines to resort to long shots, push- ins, and Indiana errors for their scoring. It is evident that Butler and In- diana aren't the only teams that Gym Recruits Bolster Frosh CinderSquad During the second week in No- vember Ken Doherty scrutinized minutely Doc May's daily gym classes and as a result bolstered his freshman track squad with several likely pros- pects. These newcomers lacked high school training and experience but the thrill of running soon gripped them and noticeable progress resulted from steady practice. At first the neophytes ran a few laps at an easy pace acquiring the nack of proper breathing, getting the feel of the track and working out the kinks in their leg muscles. With the acquire- ment of a smooth stride Coach Do- herty lengthened the distances and quickened the pace until the recruits were running the quarter and the half miles in most encouraging times. The first direct competition which these men faced was during the time trials held on the fourteenth of December. At this time Myron Wal- lace and Bill Spicer in the fast heat of the half mile crossed the finish line third and fourth respectively. Their times were 2:11.6 and 2:12. R. Dickason won this event in 2:05.4. In the second heat Bob Wallace was clocked at 2:13.4 for first place. Also in the 440 yard event N. Rosen- berg outdistanced the first group with the time of :53.6. Ross Faulk- ner running in the second heat easily won to be timed at :53.2. -have you tried are going to use this defensive style against Cappon's boys. It is logical to believe that every Big Ten quintet that Michigan faces will do the same. Coach Piggy Lambert of Purdue and other coaches and scouts have been present at the last two games and have seen what this ag- gressive defense can do. In other words the Big Tenr seems to have gotten Michigan's number, the other nine teams have the Indian sign on Cappy, and his stalwarts and they're not going to let up until the solution to the problem is hit upon. It may be that Cappon has found the solution-out-maneuver the other team-and that practice will smooth out the Michigan offense and put the Varsity back in the win column. The Minnesota game this Saturday night at Yost Field House will help to give the answer and Purdue's Boilermakers can be counted on to fill in the parts that the Gophers leave blank next Monday. Mosconi, Blue Eyed Italian, Thrills Fans With Trick Billiards' By RICHARD LaMARCA Pocket billiards de luxe. That's what Willie Mosconi, co-holder of the 1933 national title with George Kei- ley, played in a 125-ball exhibition match with Jacob Sheffman, campus champion, last Monday night in the. Union billiard room. The show was a part of the Better Billiards Pro- gram being staged by the National Billiards Association. Erwin Ru- dolph was the first pro to perform here this year. In beating Sheffman 125-30, the 22-year-old Philadelphia pro set a high-run record of 92 balls. However this was far below his greatest string which is 244 balls made last year in Harrisburg, Pa. His best run in tournamnt pay was 85 chalked up in the 1933 world's championship meet. Exhibits Fancy Shots Following the match, Mosconi ex- hibited some fancy shots which amused the large crowd despite the fact that it was trying to forget Indiana's court victory. He also showed the various billiard enthus- iasts how to play combination shots and put "english" on the ball. In the recent world's pocket bil- liard tournament held in the Penn- sylvania Hotel, New York, Mosconi, a rare Italian possessing blue eyes and dark wavy hair, tied for third with George Kelley. "I had the best chance to win having beaten Jimmy Caras (the present champion) and George Kelley, but the next day I lost to Erwin Rudolph and Pasqualie Na- talie." Asked if he ever won the Italian championship, now held by Natalie, Mosconi said, "No. You see I wasn't born in Italy. But I'd prob- ably have to go to Ethiopia to win it now." Mosconi started playing billiards when he was seven years old. He played together with Ruth McGinnis, present women's champion. Four B g Specials at Staeb &Day's Indiana Swim Captain Forced Out For Season Hoosier Hopes For Win In Meet Here Saturday Are Shattered By Blow Fate dealt a cruel blow to In- diana's swimming fortunes a few days ago when Co-Captain Hank Schneid- erman, sprinter and outstanding per- former on the Hoosier squad, was de- clared physically unfit for compeii- tition during the current season be- cause of a heart ailment. This misfortune removes two very probable first places from the In- diana total of points in next Satur- day's dual encounter with Coach Matt Mann's Wolverines. Schneiderman was expected to give Indiana its only two first places in the Intramural pool in the 50 and 100-yard free-style events, but the burden is now placed on Co-Captain Paul Strack, star for Coach Bob Royer's team in the 220 and 440. Caused Wolverines Trouble The six-foot plus Schneiderman caused the Wolverines most of the trouble in their last encounter with Indiana, dropping two hairline de- cisions in the 50 and 100 to Ogden Dalrymple and Bob Mowerson re- spectively. With Dalrymple graduat- ed and Mowerson weak from a recent illness, the huge junior, who appears to be headed right over the end of the pool when he plows through the water with his powerhouse stroke, was expected to overcome Coach Mann's sprinters Saturday. Mowerson and Dalrymple were de-, clared winners last January only after the judges had to go into huddles to debate the blanket finishes. At present Paul LaPlante, slightly behind Schneiderman in ability, will seek to supplant his captain's efforts in the short-distance events against Michigan's Paul Keeler, Ed Drew, Mark McCarthy, Manley Osgood and I Dick Blake. Strack Will Push Barnard Strack will probably push Frank{ Barnard to the limit in the middle- distance events as the husky Mich- igan star has not yet fully rounded into shape after a leg injury that' handicapped him through most of the pre-vacation practice period. Wyatt (Fish) Meier, veteran sen- ior, may cause Bill Crittenden and Ed VanderVelde trouble in the 200- yard breast-stroke, although he fin- ished behind them when they last met. Herb Backer will supplement Meier in this event. The latter de- feated his more experienced team- mate to win in the Indiana State In- tercollegiate Championships last' March. Back-Stroke Ace S ti .g : ".. " . ,{ 1 Fred Cody, junior back-stroker on Michigan's Varsity swimming team, goes into action here Sat- urda.y against Indiana in the first leg of a campaign that Coach Matt Mann hopes will lead the former Detroit Central star to the Big Ten and National Collegiate titles and to a berth on the 1936 Olympic team. Cody finished second in the Western Conference and third in the National 150-yard back-stroke events last year. Both of these races were won by Taylor Drysdale, varsity co-captain with Bob Renner in 1934-35. Matmen Drill For Next Two Eastern Meets Sports Boss Meanwell Seeks Varsity Will Oppose Penn State, Franklin-Marshall On Second Road Trip Having defeated the New York Ath- letic Club 17-13 at New York City, Coach Cliff Keen's grapplers are drilling hard for their two pre-Con- ference meets on Jan. 17 and 18 with Franklin and Marshall and Penn State respectively. Both matches are away. The Wolverines are out to score a grand slam in Eastern competition. In the surprise New York win, which stamps the Wolverines as a contender for the Big Ten title, Mich- igan missed Frank Bissell, veteran 175-pounder who was not taken on the trip when he contracted a cold. As a result. New York allowed Coach Keen to enter John Speicher in the 124-pound special weight division, and the bout was won by the young Wolverine grappler. Captain Wally Heavenrich won a decision over Gonzales, former East- ern Intercollegiate champion from Lehigh, in what Keen said was the best match of the night. Earl Tho- mas, N.A.A.U. 118-pound champion in '34, won his first match as a 135- pounder on a time advantage. Tiny Wright won the heavyweight match on a default from Frei, former na- tional champion, when he hurt the New Yorker's hand. Ed Kellman registered Michigan's other win in the 118-pound class. The only fall of the evening was chalked up by New York when La Tout, also from Lehigh, pinned Allan Rubin to win the 125 pound match. The other Michigan loss came after a hard fought battle, Ben Bishop, formerly of Lehigh and winner of the national championship here a few years ago as well as the "most valuable" award, winning on a time advantage from Louis Mascuruskus in the 155-pound tussle. I' Uysterious Ted Key Is Now Movie Extra HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 7. - ('P) - The gates of the movies have been opened to Ted Key, central figure in the "Key" mystery of the football squad at the University of California at Los Angeles last fall. The husky Texan who prolonged his college football career by play- ing under two names, was recog- nized today on the studio set of 'Under Two Flags." He was wearing the uniform of a foreign legionnaire. Through the efforts of Victor McLaglen, burly movie star, Key has two jobs - working in pic- tures, and playing semi-pro foot- ball.
