About two years ago Coach Harry Kipke needed fast, tough backs and Frank Bissell, Varsity guard who started every game last year but has been confined to the bench this sea- son with a neck injury, seemed to be the man to fill the spot. His attitude,I though voiced at the time, has just come to light and to say the least it I is a surprising one. "Naw, I don't want to be a back. What's the good in it. A back only carries the ball about once out of every four times. I'd rather play guard where I can get in every play."

All four of the squads shut out their opponents by scores varying from 6-0 to 28-0. Last year's winners and perennial favorites, the D.D.'s, once again are among the favorites. They beat the Yankees 12-0, John Herring scoring both the touchdowns.

He did it with Rud-, ness who had never been one of the Big Ten's outstanding shots before and he can do even better this year.- It is John's good fortune to be able to make good basketball players into ex- ceptional ones. He seems to nurse the men that play with him along until the team becomes a machine. In fact we are inclined to think that he plays better ball with a me- diocre club than with a team of stars. Anyway, not being in the mood for starting such discussions, Cappy needs a fast man and we'll let it go at that 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. Nothing has been said as yet about Coach Harold G. Olsen has really given the Buckeyes something to keep them busy before the Conference opens. Not to be outdone by the Wol- verine's Western trip to Seattle, he' has scheduled the same sort of a jaunt which calls for two games with the University of California at Berke- ley, one with Southern California and one with the University of California at Los Angeles, and enroute to the coast two "minor" fracases with Creighton and Nebraska.

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 Kipke and Ced Sweet ended the prac-I tice by engaging in one of their kick- ing duels with Hook, Ritchie, Cooper' and Barclay on the receiving end of the punts. Coach Kipke emphasized the fact that the backs should start away fast after catching the punts and Stark Ritchie looked especially good in this line of endeavor. noon, and they've got Lowell Spur- geon back. He's the placekicker, you know, the one that beat us last year with a 30-yard field goal, and he's the best pass receiver in the backfield this year. "And they've got Jay Wardley to do the passing.
