THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T THRDA-JNUR 913-PG Cagers Work . For Impending Gopher Battle Varsity Seeks To Combat Close Guarding System Of Defensive Play Realizing that they must find a sys- tem of carrying the ball down the floor despite the close guarding which all of the Varsity's opposition is bringing into play against them if they are to remain title-contender, in the Big Ten basketball race, the Michigan cagers went through a hard scrimmage against Coach Ray Fish- er's freshmen yesterday in prepara- tion for the Minnesota game at Yost Field House Saturday night. Paced by Jake Townsend who scored 24 points, hitting 11 baskets in 21 attempts, the Varsity ran up 46 points to the freshmen's 4. Coach Fisher instructed his charges to check the first team closely in the same way that the Indiana and Butler de- fenses stopped the Wolverines pow- erful offense, but the Varsity using a criss-cross formation and fast breaks got through and scored almost at will. Townsend has done but little shoot- ing in any of the eight games that the Varsity has played so far de- spite numerous openings preferring to pass the ball. In the practice scrimmages, however, he has demon- strated his shooting ability often and observers believe that fans will be seeing more shooting from the soph- omore ace during the remainder of the season. Tamagno Not In Uniform Capt. Chelso Tamagno, who suf- fered an injured leg muscle in the Butler tilt, was not in uniform yes- terday and probably will not be avail- able for the Minnesota contest. Earl Meyers, who started in his place in both the Toledo and Indiana games, continued to fill the vacant guard position. ' Coach Cappon is taking no chances in his preparations for Minnesota, for though the Gopher's have suffered several losses and dropped their Con- ference opener to Illinois by a 42 to 19 score, they demonstrated in the last of their pre-season games which they lost 27 to 26 to the strong Notre Dame five that they are improving and can be dangerous. George Roscoe, hard hitting Min- nesota halfback, has been the spark plug of the Gopher five with Jimmy Baker leading the scorers. Coach Dave MacMillan has not decided on any definite starting lineup but has been changing his combinations with every game searching for five men with enough speed and accuracy to compensate for lack of height. No Regular Center King, Jones, Freimuth, and Gustaf- son have seen service at the center post which Gordon Norman, All-Con- ference center last year, left vacant by graduation, but MacMillan still has not selected any one of them as starter. In the Illinois game the scoring was well divided with seven men scoring one field goal apiece. Next Monday night the Varsity will travel to Lafayette, Ind., to take on, the fast-breaking Purdue squad, which by virtue of an easy Confer- ence schedule is favored to finish at the top of the heap as usual. For the ' first time in years the Wolverines will hold a height ad- vantage over the Boilermakers and experts are counting on this advan- tage to bring the Michigan team out on top. ALL-CAMPUS ENTRIES OPEN Students desiring to take part in All-Campus tournaments in handball, tennis, bowling, and codeball are requested to enter not later than Friday. Entries will be accepted in the general office in the Intramural Sports Building, Injured Diver Der Johnston, one of Coach Matt Mann's sterling quintet of divers and for two years a member of the All-American Collegiate Swimming Team, will be unable to perform against Indiana Saturday after- noon in the Intramural pool due to a split toe sustained when he struck the bottom of the pool in practice - this week. Net Team Will Engage Detroit In Indoor Tilts Varsity Schedules Pair Of Practice Matches With Auto CityTennis Club Coach John Johnstone announced yesterday that two practice matches had been scheduled with the Detroit' Tennis Club for the middle of this month and thatattempts were being made to contact the newly formed Grosse Pointe Club for a match. Ten- nis is rapidly becoming a year-around sport, and here at Michigan the f a- cilities for all-year play are the best in the Conference, four courts being available dailr for use- Michigan encounters the two strongest teams in the Big Ten, Northwestern and Chicago, in the dual meet season and only constant practice and team harmony can get the Varsity into shape to defeat those two squads who, on paper at least, look to be much superior. Although it is zoo early in the season to state any positive opinions, this year's squad does not look to be as strong as last year's team which turned in a very mediocre record in Conference competition. Outstand- ing among the newcomers is Jesse Flick, a transfer from Texas. Re- turning from last year are Captain Howard Kahn, Jarvis Dean, John Rodriguez, and Miller Sherwood. Ted Thorward, also a letterwinner last year is out West at present but is expected to return for the second semester. Coach Johnstone has worked out several charts by which he hopes to improve the position play and court strategy of the team members. Prac- tice of late has been devoted to the study of the angling of shots and anticipation of the opponents' moves. Any man interested in trying out for the squad may report to Coach Johnstone any day between the hours of 1:00-3:30 p.m. ready to play. Jimmy Foxx' Salary Reported At $25,000 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8 - (P) - The Ledger says that the contract Jimmy Foxx signed with the Boston Red Sox today is for one year at a salary of $25,000. His contract with the Athletics, which was destroyed, still had two years to run, at a figure estimated at $18,000 annually. He was given the increase after he explained to Tom Yawkey, Rd Sox owner, that he would be giving up several contracts, including one for radio broadcasting, when he left Philadelphia. Batterymen Begin Drills For Oncoming Baseball Campaign Allison Said To Be No.1 In1935 Rating NEW YORK Jan. 8 - (A') - Two By FRED DE LANOE Gazing three months into the fu- ture when his baseball team will have opened its 1936 schedule, Coach Ray!

Berger Larson, Art "Lefty" Settle is the only Frank Bissell, Recovered From Illness, Works Out, Prospects for a successful wrestling season reached a new high, following the holiday win over New York Ath- letic Club, when Frank Bissell, starI 165-pound grappler, reported for practice yesterday, recovered from an attack of influenza which kept him out of action in the big city meet. Bissell worked out with Julian Gregory, former EasternIntercol- legiate mat champion from Prince- ton, and later pinned Bailey and Bill Lowell, 175-pounder. He also exhibited his ability to "get out from underneath" when Lowell was unable to ride him in four tries. Bissell's speed and quick thinking were too much for Lowell. The star football guard also drilled on the switch which Coach Keen said he may adopt as means of escape. It may be used from either a knee or standing posi- tion. veteran pitcher working out now.
