WEDNESDAY, JAN. 6, 1937 THfE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Ragged Play Features Michigan's 36-27 Victory Over Butler Varsity Rallies In Final Period To Win Easily' Captain Johnny Gee Tops Scorers Tallying Nine Points For Winners Townsend Off Form Jaggers, Perry Play Well For Butler Aggregation; Sink LongShots , By RAY GOODMAN INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Butler Field House, Jan. 5.-(Special to The Daily)-Playing ragged ball against a rough Butler University outfit, Mich- igan's Varsity basketball team out- fought Tony Hinkle's Bulldogs, 36- 27 in Jake Townsend's homecoming appearance at the Butler Field House. Leading at the half, 11-10, after playing sloppy ball, the Wolverines came to life and took a comfortable lead which they held throughout the second period despite the remarkable long shooting of the Hoosier five. Gee Shoots Well Capt. Johnny Gee, entering the game but with three minutes of the first half remaining, collected nine points to lead Michigan's scoring. Townsend had a more or less "off" night despite the fact that he made six points and a number of assists. In the first half, Michigan refused to take advantage of the breaks while Butler gathered up every loose ball. Chet Jaggers looked good ball-hawk- ing for Butler, and George Perry was outstanding guarding Townsend and picking up eight points. Sink Long- Ones Butler made nine of their 11 field goals from the field while Michigan did not take any long shots. There was no scoring until four and a half minutes had elapsed when Townsend dropped a free throw and then a half minute later Herm Fish- manl dropped in a one-handed shot. Matt Patanelli took a pass from Townsend to give Michigan a five- point lead. Then Butler gathered speed and went ahead until Gee en- tered the lineup. In the second half Michigan start- ed working its set-up plays around its pivot men and despite numerous fouls gradually built up the margin that it held at the end of the ball game. About 4,000 persons witnessed the contest. SUMMARIES Leading Cage Scorer The PRESS ANGLE By GEORGE J. ANDROS Kasley Given All-American Swim Rating Sextet Displays Improvement After Dropping Early Contests. Editor's Note: Sports editor George J. Andros is at present confined to the University Hospital and until he is able to resume his duties on The Daily this column will be conducted by Fred H. DeLano. A GUSH OF HOT AIR from Detroit Tuesday morning, contained in another of the ever- talking Tod Rockwell's contribu- tions to The Free Press, carried with it the implication that Harry Kipke might take over the position of Detroit Lion coach,! succeeding George "Potsy" Clark who resigned Monday. According to Rockwell Gus Dorais' is considered a likely successor to Clark by many close observers of professional football in Detroit. The former Michigan quarterback refutes this idea, however, by putting the following terse statement into the mouth of Dorais: "No, I am not interested in3 coaching the Detroit Lions. But I understand Harry Kipke is look- ing for a spot to light on. He may be interested." That this statement was never made was learned Tuesday afternoon when Dorais hastened to get in touch with Kipke by telephone and assure him that the words were en- tirely the product of Rockwell's high- ly imaginative mind. All those ac- quainted with Dorais know that he is definitely not the type of man to make such a statement as Rockwell accredited him with. -Associated Press Photo Herm Fishman, flashy junior guard, tops all Michigan scorers at present and is rapidly coming to the fore as one of the outstanding cagers on the Varsity this year. Along with his dead-eye tactics, Fishman's floor work and ball handling have made him one of the most feared men of the Varsity aggregation. WITH the race for the Big Ten ' basketball championship prom- ising to be the hottest in years, all of six teams eyeing the title, Michi- gan fans are in for a treat as far as games here are concerned. The Wol- verines, one of the aggregations con- sidered as a contender for the crown, meet Purdue, Indiana and North- western on the Field House hardwood with the result being that there will be plenty of red hot basketball to be seen in Ann Arbor during the next two months. Saturday night Michigan opens1 its conference schedule at Lafay- ette, Ind., against the always powerful Purdue five. Last year the Boilermakers beat the Wol- verines twice, the second time be- ing forced to come from behind to take a 38-27 victory, and to repeat those wins this season would probably knock Coach Cappon's team out of the title. Next Monday night Northwestern will be here for one of the six re- imaining home games on the schedule and a crowd of 10,000 fans will be expected to view the battle. The Wildcats have dropped but one game this season, that to Notre Dame by one point, and are highly rated by the experts. All in all it should be a battle royal that no one will want to miss. rTHE EYES of the tennis world will be focused tonight upon Madison Square Garden in New York City where Fred Perry makes his pro de- but in a match with Ellsworth Vines, acclaimed as the king of the profes- sional net world. Perry, for several years the out- standing figure in amateur ten- nis and the only foreign player to ever win the United States championship three successive years, quit the simon pure ranks at the heighth of his glory and therein lies the importance of tonight's match. Vines is un- doubtedly at the top of his game and the match may truly be billed as a "world's champion- ship" affair. Perry's decision to enter the play- for-pay ranks changed the balance of power in the lawn tennis world and once more made winning the Davis Cup more than a mere possibil- ity for the United States. It also reopened the discussion of an open tennis meet for both professionals and amateurs and it now appears that within a few years such a meet will be held. The International Federation meets in March at Paris and may change its constitution to allow an open meet. Imagine such stars as Vines, Perry, Tilden, Lott, Stoefen, Nusslein, Richards, Barnes, Gledhill, Kozeluh, Ramillon, Plaa and Bell, Varsity Co-Captain For Position On Relay Team Jack Kasley, co-captain and star breast-stroker of the Varsity natators,' was named on the 1936 All-Americanj 3wimming team which was announced1 recently. He gained a position on the 300-yard medley relay team.1 Kasley, the fastest man in the country in the 100-yard breast-stroke event, was included in that division. The medley consists of the back-j stroke, breast-stroke and free-style; swims. John Higgins, perennial foe of Kasley, selected in the single breast-stroke event which is longerI than the medley swim. This event is run either for 220 yards or 200 meters. Dick Degener, Olympic winner on the springboard last summer, a for- mer Wolverine star and National Col- legiate diving champion for two years was the only other Michigan man to be mentioned onthe team. Adolf Kiefer, sensational young back- stroker of the Lake Shore Athletic Club in Chicago, was selected in the back-stroke event and the medley relay. -Jack Medica of the Univer- sity of Washington, Ralph Flanagan of Miami and Peter Fick of New York were the other winners of more than one place on the mythical team. The committee in charge of the selections was headed by Clyde Swendser, chairman of the All-Amer- ican Board of Swimming. In addi- tion to other members of the board, he was assisted by Johnny Weismul- ler, former star tanker, now portray- ing "Tarzan" roles in the movies. 'Dutch' Clark Is New Detroit Lion Mentor LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-OP)- George A. Richards, president of the Detroit Lions professional football club, announced today the signing of Earl "Dutch" Clark, outstanding Lion quarterback, to coach the team next year. Clark succeeds George "Potsy" Clark, who notified Richards today he had signed to coach the Brooklyn Dodgers. His contract expired Jan. 1 and was not renewed. Named Medley By BONTH WILLIAMS Off after a shaky start and the loss of their first two games Michigan's Varsity hockey team has apparently slipped into high and is headed for1 a big year. Statistics prove it. { Although they stand even-stephen in the matter of games won and lost, the pucksters took their last two en- counters in convincing style from formidable opponents and to date have materially outscored the oppo- sition despite a young and inex- perienced net minder. Michigan has counted 22 goals to their opponents 16, and 14 of the Michigan goals have been chalked up in the last two games. And the of- fense is not the only thing that has shown great improvement. Team On Way In the last two games opponents have been limited to four goals, while in the first two clashes of the season Bill Chase and Bill Wood plucked 12 pucks out of the twine between them. The Wolverines are definitely on the way. Saturday night's clash with the strong Sarnia team will serve as an indication as to whether or not Coach Eddie Lowrey's sextet has suffered any ill effects from the holiday lay- off. Most of the squad took part in at least mild work-outs throughout the vacation and in all probability this weeks practice drills should be all that is required to return the team to top form. Vic Heyliger is out in front in the YANKS EXHIBIT WARES NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--'P)--The New York Yankees will open their 33-.game spring exhibition baseball schedule March 13 with the Boston Bees at St. Petersburg, Fla., and close with a three-game series against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Brooklyn, April 16-18.

Gib James, four points back in second place, has counted six times and been credited with the same number of assists. Dick Berryman and Johnny Fabello Vre tied for third with two goals and an assist apiece. One of the reasons for the Wol- verine's recent improvement has been the lack of penalties they have suf- fered. Thus far only seven penalties have been meted out to Wolverines while rival team members have been sent to the specially designated re- served seat section 13 times for in- fractions of the rules.

You may feel kindly toward charity and desire to help the widows and orphans but the fighters don't feel that way. In fact Joe Louis, Detroit's brown bomber cheated sweet charity out of $240,000 of the gate when he knocked Max Baer out in four rounds in New York at a benefit for the Milk Fund of the Hearst papers. Fought Simms Joe, whose sobriquet "the brown bomber" has become so popular that burlesque beauties are now calling themselves "blond bombers," recently fought Eddie Simms, a substitute for the fast aging Johnny Risko, in Cleveland for charity. The fight took in about $50,000, a fair enough sum for charity but by the time the money had actually reached the hands of the beneficiary. there was less than $12,000 left, and at that the widows and orphans were lucky. Cheats Charity As usual, Joe took the biggest share, $27,000, for putting Simms to sleep in 18 seconds. Taxes and the American Legion took about $2,500, bringing the total to $30,000 and leav-j ing only $20,000 for charity; but wait, the vultures aren't finished yet. Eddie Simms, the other fighter who so obligingly took a sudden nap, received $4,000 for his sn~ores; and Frosh Court Squad Resumes Practice After their vacation lay-off the freshman basketball squad again re- sumed practice with all the members of the team seeing some action in scrimmages. Coach Ray Fisher again nas the squad down to around 20 players. Since his last cut a few more boys had come out, increasing the number, but cuts now and then have once more left the freshmen in a workable size. Working around a team composed of Jim Ray, Charley Pink, Freddie Trosko, Herb Brogan, Russ Dobson, and Joe Savilla, Fisher formed anoth- er team from the players and with the remainder of the players at hand substituted in both teams freely. the prelim fighters were paid a total of $3,350 for their efforts. Miscel- laneous items such as the printing of tickets, traveling expenses for fighters, rental of the hall, referee, postage, telegrams, telephone calls. etc., cost about $3,500, leaving aboutE $12,000 for charity. And so, "the quality of mercy is being strained" and it is doubtful) ,vhether the money that went to the vidows was "twice blessed" as far as Joe Louis was concerned for the only person upon whom "it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven" seems to be the "brown bomber from Mul- berry Street."

Fred Steele Seeks Gotham Title Bout NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-W')-Freddie Steele, the middleweight king, breezed into town today ready to I take on Babe Risko, or anyone else,, for the first promoter who'll lay the money on the line.. Manager Dave Miller will open ne- gotiations both with Madison Square Garden and the 20th Century Sport- ing Club for Steele's New York de-' but, probably in February. Right now Miller's demands are far out of line with what New York promoters consider just, but James; J. Johnston, Garden maestro, thinks this week's pow wows will bring about an agreement. s,.__________________- Michigan's varsity wrestling team all professionals, playing in the same will engage in its first home contest meet with the outstanding amateurs, :f the current season, Saturday, Jan.

Only Thomas, however, will Depauw 37; Huntington 17. be out of action Saturday, the others -_pauw37;_Hu_ ingto 17. being sufficiently recovered to engage in competition. Coach Keen is still undecided as to his lineup for this meet. Bob John- son, who won the 135-pound title in the all-campus meet, may fill the spot vacated by the injured Thomas. It is more than likely though that Cam- eron will wrestle at 135 pounds in-JEWELRY stead of his usual 126;'and that either Harold Rosenn or Ed Kellman will wrestle in Cameron's old position. The Dearborn Club, composed mainly of ex-college stars, is coached Burr, P by PatrReighter, captain of the Iowa wrestlers in 1933. They have not been defeated in competition this year. GONG! GOING!
