that he plays better ball with a me-

Another thing that Cappon admits
is that he will maintain the heighthI
of the front line that marked last
year's Varsity quintet as the Michi-
gan "giants." That trio, that made
up the front line, the two Townsends
and Johnny Gee, averaged six feet
six inches and was mighty tough on
the backboard play. To keep the
average at six feet six this year Cap-
py will have to use Danny Smick, who
is at the present time playing end on
the football squad for Coach Kipke,
at the forward position which Earl
Townsend occupied last season. The
other candidates are all smaller,
though they are above the six foot
mark.
Of course it is silly to say that be-
cause he made such a statement
Cappy therefore means to definitely
use Smick at the starting forward
post. The position is wide open and
there is no question about that.

Coach Harold G. Olsen has really
given the Buckeyes something to

has scheduled the same sort of a

the University of California at Berke-

one with the University of California

Johnny Smithers, Ed Phillips and
John Jordan worked on kickoffs, one
of the noticeable weaknesses in the
Columbia game, and all three got
off long high kicks. Coach Harry
