THE MICHIGAA DAILY TUESDAY, THE MICH1GAr~ DAILY TUESDAY, Hockey Varsity Forced Team Battles St. Thomas To Depend On Two Reserves Lowrey Will Start James, Heyliger And Fabello On Front Line Radical changes in the Varsity hockey line-up for the second game of the semester with St. Thomas A.C. here tonight were announced by Coach Eddie Lowrey at the conclu- sion of last night's practice. Beaten by Pt. Edward of Sarnia, 4-2, Saturday in a ragged game, the team will present a strangely differ- ent appearance when it skates out on the Coliseum ice for tonight's game. The forward line will consist ofVie Heyliger at center, Johnny Fabello on right wing, and Gib James, Ottawa sophomore who became eligible Sat- urday, on the left flank. Simpson At Defense Instead of Bert Smith, Bob Simp- son will team with Larry David on the defense, and Irving Shalek will be^ in the nets in place of Reed Low who started against Pt. Edward. Michigan will have only Jack Merrill and Fritz Radford for spares. It is understood that the omission of the names of Bert Smith, Dick Berryman, and Dick Griggs from the line-up was made pending the meet- ing of the Board in Control of Aath- letics to determine eligibility. Against Pt. Edward Michigan used a second forward wall made up of Berryman at center with Merrill and Griggs on the wings and both Simp- son and Radford as alternate de- fensemen. Tonight the team will clash with the strong St. Thomas six minus the second line, with the ex- ception of Merrill, and without Bert Smith. Lowrey Expects Improvement Lowrey expressed himself as not satisfied with the forwards' perform- ance Saturday, saying that there was too much stick handling and too lit- tle passing, but added, that the team would look better tonight despite the fact that it would have only two spares, one of whom has seen prac- tically no Varsity action. The Pt. Edward tilt was the first; regular game in which Gib James, Ineligibility Decisions Due Thursday Night The bogey of ineligibility hovered over the Michigan athletic camp yes- terday and today as the Wolverines began second-semester competition, but no official notice will be made un- til a formal announcement by the eligibility committee of the Board in Control of Physical Education fol- lowing its meeting Thursday night. In the meantime, questionable cases are being kept from competi- tion by their coaches. Earl Meyers, basketball reserve, was not included on the squad which met Indiana last night, and Harry Wright was kept at home as the Varsity wrestling team met Ohio State. Bert Smith and Dick Berryman were not listed in the hockey lineup which goes against St. Thomas to- night, supposedly for eligibility rea- sons.

Car- rying his stick in the crook of his arm and using his hundred and thirty- five pounds to very effective advan- tage, James played a good game in his initial appearance as a Wolver- ine. He teamed with Heyliger to' break through the defense time and again Saturday night, but the Can- adians kept him closely checked throughout the game, and the Pt. ,'dward netminder was exceptionally good as he limited the Wolverines to a pair of tallies Two Important Changes Made In Grid Rules' California Meeting Comes To Close After Three Days Of Secret Session PALM SPRINGS, Cal. -The end- ing today of the first national foot- ball rules committee session ever to be held west of Philadelphia revealed that only two major changes in regu- lations had been written in the 1936 code. After three days of secret meetings, the committee disclosed: 1 - A blocked kick which did notj pass the line of scrimmage hereafter would be a "free ball" which may be advanced by either side if recovered before it is "dead." Previously the kicking team could not advance the ball when its punts were blocked. Forwards Altered Slightly 2 -The "slow whistle" was elimi-) nated because it apparently resultedI in too many injuries. Previously end- ing of a play was delayed to give the offensive team more latitude for lat- eral passes. A minor change was made in rules governing the forward pass, expected to be drastically altered at the meet- ing. The board decided only that use of "screen" players should be tight-1 ened. Players ineligible to receive a pass may not advance beyond the point where the pass is caught, intercepted, or falls incomplete, nor may inel- igible players "obstruct the view ofI any opponent." No Time Warning Violation of the new "screening" rule will carry the same penalty as now applied for pass interference. Other rule revisions included: Teams will be given no warning to return to the playing field three min- utes before start of the second half. The squads must be on the field and ready to play at the end of the fif-1 teen-minute rest period between halves without urging from officials.I Option of putting the pigskin in1 play from scrimmage instead of from the kickoff was eliminated. The ball must be kicked. Kipke Issues Call For All Freshmen Gridders Freshman football candidates were ordered to report to the In- tramural sports building at 3:00 p.m. today by Harry G. Kipke Varsity grid coach. Due to the fresh varnish on the Intramural floor Coach Kipke will merely assign lockers to the year- lings who will be eligible for the Varsity eleven next fall. Active drills consisting of exercises, bas- ketball and light workouts with a football including signal drills will begin Thursday. A.C. In Coliseum Tonight Wrestler Grinds And Crams To Win Place On Team But Fate Tricks Him Michigan Wins Three Of Four eekend Tilts Michigan Varsity squads were vic- torious in three out of four engage- ments over the past weekend. The swimming, basketball and wrestling teams won easy decisions while the hockey sextet dropped a 4-2 battleI with Point Edward of Sarnia Satur- day night in the Coliseum. Coach Franklin Cappon's basket- ball five defeated Michigan State Sat- urday night at East Lansing, 41 to 23. John Gee returned to form with five baskets and two free throws to lead the Wolverines with 12 points. John Townsend collected nine points and George Rudness seven. The Spartans did not score until 11 min- utes of the first half had gone by, and were trailing 18 to 8 at halftime. Indiana fell to Coach Matt Mann's National championship swimmers Saturday afternoon at Bloomington 53 to 31 for the second time this sea- son. Using only six swimmers and two divers, the Michigan natators took first in every event but the back- stroke. Pool records were made by Coach Mann's proteges in the breast- stroke, medley and sprint relays. By virtue of their 21-13 mat vic- tory over Michigan State's Spartans Saturday at East Lansing, Coach Keen's Varsity grapplers avenged the two defeats suffered last year at the hands of the State matmen. It was the Wolverines' second consecutive win over their arch rivals. By LESTER BRAUSER Deserving of praise is the young man who spends a whole year being tossed all over a rough mat in hopes that someday he may toss others around in actual varsity competition. Equally deserving is the young man who, confronted with the dreadful prospect of going down in academic defeat, burns the well known oil courageously through the wee hours of the night so that he may survive in that grim fight for what the ath- letes know as eligibility. Lilburn Ochs, 175 pound wrestler gained the right to claim these things as his accomplishments. Then with the seemingly inevitable reward ly- ing practically at his feet the weird- est misfortunes caused it literally to vanish in thin air. Ochs came here a year ago this month from the University of Mis- souri, where he had been hailed as one of the brightest wrestling finds of the season. Twice Ochs had ter- rorized interscholastic wrestling tour- naments in Missouri to gain cham- pionships in the 155-pound class, at which weight he wrestled in high school. Missouri expected great things from Ochs but before he had had a chance to perform for that school he decided that he would go to Mich- igan. At Michigan, Ochs was obliged to bide his time until he had qualified himself for varsity competition by meeting the Big Ten requirement of a non-competitive freshman year. He I-M Sports The preliminaries for the annual fraternity swimming meet will be run off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Intramural Pool. Sixteen fraterni- ties have entered the meet this year in an attempt to wrest the title from Psi Upsilon, last year's winners. The finals will take place at 5:00 p.m. Friday. The mid-winter sports season re- sumes its play with All-Campus tour- naments in badminton, handball singles, bowling singles and squash. worked hard during two long semes- ters of grind without glory or reward. Studies came hard to Ochs and by the time final examinations rolled around this past semester Ochs had found himself below the required standard for eligibility. But determined tc overcome his deficiency he put him- self industriously to his studies and as a result pulled up his grades to the required mark. Ochs had succeeded and he was happy that he had done so. Then a few days ago he had finished a long workout, one of the last in prepara- tion for his first varsity meet, and panting heavily from the strain of the tussle he sat down to rest. He dropped limply to his haunches and fell flat on his face. His knees caved in under his tired body. A sharp click and Ochs a few hours later was resting in a soft white bed up at the University Health Service. His right leg, one that had stood the strain of innumer- I-M GYM CLOSED The floor of the large gym in the Intramural Sport Building has been varnished and will not be ready for use until 7:00 p.m. Wed- nesday, when the basketball teams will resume play. able workouts, had given away. Ochs is through for the present wrestling season. Fate played Ochs a wicked trick, but, lying helpless in his bed with a plaster cast around his knee, he is stoically anticipating the time when he will be once more ready to don his sweat suit and carry on for Coach Cliff Keen and his band of hard work- ing wrestlers.
