THE MICHIGAN DAILY TisDAY NOV. Z0, 193Z6 "I'll pill I'll I I: I'll 1:111", 1:1: 1:,, Quits Hawkeye Teant The PRESS ANGLE By GEORGEJ. ANDROS ONE OF OUR SOPHOMORE REPORTE S who apparently reads widely brought in a clipping today from the New York Sun-one of Frank Gra- ham's "Setting the Pace" columns written just after the Michigan-Pennsyl- vania game.. They tell me Mr. Graham has quite a following among the sport fans of the metropolitan area, and if so, a great number of people now have a very poor opinion of Coach Harry Kipke's Wolverine football team. Mr. Gra- ham spares the lash not one little bit. Here it is. "Penn was. very impressive against Michigan, even allowing for the fact that Michigan was disappointing. Big Ten teams usually put on a good show, win, lose or draw. But Michigan didn't. The only good show Mich- igan put on was with its band before the game and between halves. The team was so bad it left you wondering how it ever managed to beat Columbia. Cedric Sweet, the fullback, was all right and so was Capt. Matthew Patanelli, but they had practically no support. The only time they looked like a real football team was during their brief march to their touchdown." Not having seen the game at Philadelphia, I can not say very much. But to Mr. Graham I can say that we who saw Columbia play wonder what makes him bring that team into the same column with Penn and Michigan. There was a team that would be lucky to beat Chicago-easily the weakest team in the Conference. Funny, too, but the New York papers raved and raved about Michigan when the Varsity whipped Columbia. All they could talk about was the power Coach Kipke's youngsters manifested in cleaning up on Columbia's defense. But that's football-and fickleness in sports writers. To the Varsity I can only say that you have a chance to make Mr. Graham turn a few colors: when he picks up the teletype message that says you have defeated the much-publicized Northwestern Wildcats. R. GRAHAM'S COMMENTS on Michigqn all came about as a result of an interview with Coach Harvey Harman of Penn. Harman was well on his way toward losing his job up to the Michigan game. A victory over the Wolverines fixes him up again-and as a result he is very happy. In his outburst of happiness Coach Harman said that he felt happier after the Michigan game than at any other time this season, even after the win over Princeton. Quoting Harman from Mr. Graham's column: "'This game (with Mich- igan) had me worried more than any other game we've slayed. That goesX for the Princeton game. Michigan beat us last year when they didn't figure1 to. I was afraid they would do it again. They didn't. But I'm here tot tell you that I feel better now. Feel better than I did before the game. "'We knew how to handle their eight-man line on defense better than we did last year. Their offense gave us some trouble for a little while whent they were mouse-trapping one of our tackles. But our line worked smoothlyt and I don't think you will find three better backs in the country than Kurlishr and Murray and Elverson.'"i Cagers Working Game Of Sea, By RAY GOODMAN When the Michigan basketball team takes the floor for the first time on December 7 at Yost Field House against Michigan Normal few of the spectators will realize just how much work the men on the court and their coach have put in in preparation for that game, supposedly just a "start- er." and for the season. On October 21 about 30 players re- ported to Coach Cappy Cappon at the Intramural Sports Building. For three weeks they have been working out there and they are just beginning; to round into shape and look like a basketball team. Practice Set-Ups. They have been working on set-up shots, practicing passes, throwing the ball around from a sitting position to strengthen their wrists, learning how to bring the ball down the floor so that they can't be rushed, and fi- nally scrimmaging "five on five," that is on just half the floor with one team permanently on offense. Three weeks have gone by and they are still not quite ready to scrimmage with the length of the floor. This year's squad isn't any dumber than any other Michigan team; on the contrary it might be said to be smarter than those of the past. The point is that basketball is a game of teamwork. It takes months before five men got to be a team in every' sense of the word. And right now "in every sense of the word" means a team that can take Purdue and then follow up with the Conference. When John Townsend comes out of his corner, takes the ball from Dick Long from his guard position and Johnny Gee moves in followed by Herm Fishman cutting from the back line teamplay becomes the important thing; the individual is just secon- I Out For First son With Hurons! !, Ii 'I dary. Here are eight or 10 men all running in more or less opposite di- rections and the only thing that can put the ball in the basket for them is perfect coordination and a shoot- ing skill acquired from hours of drill on set-up shots. Team Play Wins Every player must know instinc- tively where every other player will be and all the possible receivers and every possible way that the ball can be followed-in if the first shot does miss. Of course all this is impossible without individual skill. But when that skill is acquired then it's team play that wins. Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Ohio State, Illinois, and most of the other Big Ten teams will have plenty of individual skill. Any one of the five schools mentioned probably have eight men right now that could just about make any other squad in the Conference. It won't be the outstanding individual that will win the title, but rather the best team. John Townsend has received plenty of praise from The Daily and most other cage observers and all that praise is well deserved. But Town- send can't win the Conference title. Only a team can do that. That's why Cappie has about 30 players working two and a half hours every night for almost two months before the opening game with Ypsilanti and almost three months before the first Big Ten game at Lafayette, Ind.
