Conference Wrestling,

faculty representatives, athletic di-
rectors and coaches of all Western
Conference schools will convene Fri-
day in their annual winter meeting in
Chicago at which time the site of
the 1937 Big Ten outdoor track meet
will be decided.
A concerted effort is being made to
bring this outstanding spring ath-
letic affair to Ann Arbor for the sec-
ond time in three years and Coach
Charles B. Hoyt stated last night that
he will extend an invitation to the
Conference to hold the May meet on
Ferry Field.
Owens Starred
In 1935 the Conference track and
field stars gathered here and staged
one of the most brilliant meets.in Big
Ten history, Jesse Owens that day
breaking three world records and tie-
ing a fourth while Michigan nosed
out Ohio State for the team cham-
pionship.
Previous to that meet Chicago was
the perennial site but because it failed
financially for several seasons it was
shifted to Ann Arbor where it suc-1
ceeded when more than 10,000 fans
turned out for the two-day card.
Have Good Chance
Little opposition to the selection of
Ann Arbor as the site is expected to
develop and all that will be needed
to, bring the meet here will be the
approval of the athletic directors
should the coaches recommend that
Hoyt's invitation be accepted. {
Besides Hoyt, Professor Ralph W.
Aigler, Fielding H. Yost, Harry Kipke,
Ray Courtright, Franklin C. Cappon,
Matt Mann, Ray Fisher, Cliff Keen
and John Johnstone will attend the
meeting as Michigan representatives.
The track, baseball, swimming and
wrestling and tennis schedules for the
coming seasons will be drawn up and
approved during the two-day meet-
ing and a strong effort will also be
made to bring the Big Ten wrestling
and tennis meets here.
Look For Mat Meet
The last time local mat fans had
a glimpse of much massed talent as
would be seen in the Conference
wrestling meet was in 1934 when the
National Collegiate meet was staged
in Yost Field House. Since then the
Wolverine grapplers have appeared
here in nothing but dual meets and
fans would welcome the opportunity
to see the Big Ten stars in action.
Coach Johnstone of the tennis
team will extend an invitation to the
Conference to hold that meet here
next spring and should it be accepted
and approved the Palmer Field courts
will undoubtedly be used for the
matches.
Football schedules for 1939 and
1940 will also be arranged at the
meeting.
Dizzy Dean Slated
To Change Owners
MONTREAL, Dec. 1.--(/P)-Unless
his bosses think he's worth consider-
ably more than a fifth of a million
dollars, Dizzy Dean is through pitch-
ing for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The loquacious pitching ace of the
"Gas House Gang" definitely is on
the block with a "for sale" sign at-
tached to his whiplash right arm
that made him one of the greatest
stars in baseball.
Cincinnati has offered $200,000 in
cash fpr Dizzy. The Cardinals are
considering the offer and probably
will take it unless they can do better
by getting" a big bundle of cash and
players.
"We offered $200,000 in cold cash
and no players for Dizzy," said War-
ren Giles, business manager of the
Reds."

Freshmen Split Into Two
Groups As Preliminary1
To Final Cut
In order to get a better line on his
matelial and also as a preliminary to
the final cut, Coach Ray Fisher last
night split his freshman basketball
squad into two groups.
The two divisions will work out
against the Varsity as defensive teams
this afternoon and tomorrow respec-
tively to see how they stack up against
better playing. No exact method of
selection was made, the thirty some
candidates being more or less hap-
hazardly divided.
In making the last cut, which will
be posted by Monday afternoon,
Fisher and Varsity Coach Franklin
Cappon will bring the squad down
to around fifteen men. Starting Mon-
day afternoon the boys left will con-
tinue their practice sessions at the
Intramural building in the late
afternoons instead of the evenings
at the Waterman gym where they
have been held.
Each evening of practice so' far
has been devoted to getting the frosh
into shape, basketshooting, and short
fifteen minute scrimmages. No plays
were worked out, this being left until
the final group is selected.
From the large number of fresh-
men on hand only about five appear
sure of not being eliminated. These
include the team that has been func-
tioning as a first string outfit and
who click well together. They are
Charles Ray, Charles Pink, Harry
Palmer, Don Yerke and Russ Dobson.
The other teams, though not working
so well as this one, contain a great
deal of excellent material and many
of the players can compare on an
equal basis with those mentioned. J

'Rule Variations Cause Cage
Posts To Lose Old Meaning
By RAY GOODMAN
Don't be deceived by the "labels"
in the lineup and box score when
you see the Michigan basketball
team's opening game next Monday
night.,
Just as the titles, right halfback,
left halfback, quarterback, and full-
back no longer mean what they once
did, so forward and guard and center
have lost much of the significance
that they bore in the past.
Play Is Different
Time was when you only had to
mention that so and so was a for-
ward and anyone could tell you quite
a bit about his size and his cage tal-
ents and even his attitude toward the
game. But that was before the three-
second rule was introduced some
three years ago. Gradually it has
changed the game all around and
especially Michigan's game.
At the present time Cappon has no
forwards; you're either a pivot man,
a guard, or a spectator in the bleach-
ers.
The three-second rule prevents any
offensive player from staying in the
free-throw lane for more than three
seconds and with the advent of the
rule the old time pivot man passed
away. This also meant in the future
that there could be no forwards lin-
ing up in the front corners with the
center in the foul circle and the two
guards in the back.
New Pivot Adopted
Instead of the old pivot formations
the "double pivot post" came in. This
merely means that two pivot men
lined up on each side of the free-
throw lane and the three players in
the back line cut around them on.
screen plays.
In the back line the coaches put
actually two floor guards, one on
the center who did most of the
screening as the floor guards cut
around him and the pivot men to
lose the defense.
Think back to the 1935-36 season.
Actually George Rudness was as
much a forward as Earl Townsend
and Jake Townsend was certainly as
much center as Johnny Gee; the Big
Ten officials recognized that when
they made him All-Conference cen-
ter. Chelso Tomagno, on the other
hand, started most of the plays, dom-
inated the screen plays, and kept the
rest of the Big Ten worried with his
long shots.
Emphasizes Change
This year Cappy has emphasized
the change more than ever before..
He has been looking for a man of
Rudness' type to fill Earl Townsend's
spot while he already has Rudness'
"understudy," Herm Fishman, work-
ing on the other side of the floor in
the position that the little Negaunee
star left vacant by his graduation. In
other words the players on the sides
not only do the same sort of chores
but even play the same style of ball
There is no question about it-
Michigan has eliminated the forward
whether the lineup "labels" recognize
the fact or not and as the tailback
and wingback are now part of foot-
ball, so the two floor guards and
screening guard seem to be a part of
modern basketball a.t.s.r. (after
three-second rule).
SIGNS CONTRACT
Harvey J. Harman, head football
coach at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, who announced before the
start of the season, "I am ready to

credit for whatever happens this
year," was reappointed today for a
Jack Merrill, playing his third
year on the Varsity hockey team, is
the most improved player on the
squad this year according to com-
petent observers. A senior from
Detroit, Jack plays left wing on
the second line with Dick Berry-
man and George Cooke.
