Midway Cinders ...
ONLY three champions will be pres-
ent to defend their indoor titles
in the Big Ten Track meet on Chi-
cago's Midway this Saturday. They
are Illinois' Jack Robinson, high
hurdler; Wisconsin's Chuck Fenske,
miler; and Big Bill Watson, Michi-
gan's versatile shot put artist.
Chicago's George Ilaicrow, out-
door champion in the quarter
mile, plans to better his indoor
position in that event. He fin-
ished third last year, behind Stan
Birleson and the late Steve Ma-
son, who broke the tape one-
two for Michigan. Track experts
claim that Halrow's indoor diffi-
culty comes from his lengthy
strides which make the quick
turns difficult to negotiate.
Another record hoider who will at-
tempt to add a Conference indoor1
crown to his trophy room is Dusky
Dave Albritton, the "Buckeye Kan-
garoo," who is co-holder of the
world's high jump record and who
won a first in the Big Ten indoor
high jump in 1936. Albritton was
second to his teammate Mel Walker,
who established a Conference mark
with a 6 feet, 5 3/4 inch leap. Of
course, the Ohio State ace must out-
do Wolverine Wes Allen, who has
twice tied him now, attaining Wal-
ker's Conference height at the Il-
linois Relays Saturday.
Among the 35 entrants in the
sprints, 12 of whom competed
last year, only one point winner
will return to the indoor fold
this wesk-end. He is Michigan's
Allan Smith, who is finding it
quite a struggle to reach the
physical peak which enabled him
to finish third last year. Out of
competition thus far because of
a lingering cold, he seems unable
to acquire form and condition
enough to do Coach Hoyt any
good in the 60-yard dash, al-
though there are no Stollers,
Grieves or Colliers in the event
this year.
Two of the 35 sprinters will be un-
beaten in dual meet competition.
They are Chicago's John Davenport
and Minnesota's Roger Verran. Ver-
ran, who doubles as sports editor of
the Minnesota Daily (which may ex-
plain his quick getaway), has been
consistently timed in :06.3, while
Davenport, the nervous halfback
who fumbled Chicago into a football
defeat here last fall, has won all his
races in :06.4.
Watson, who will have only medi-
ocre competition in the shot put, has
been clocked at :06.4 in the dash,
and may be good enough to run some-
where among the point - getters.
Smith can travel the distance in :06.3
when in proper physical fettle.
THE old saw about the unquench-
able quality of spirit was sup-
ported by Michigan's basketball team
yesterday when it elected Leo Beebe
as its 1938-39 captain. Despite re-
versals, Beebe has never let up. As
he remarked earlier in the season
when someone urged him to relax a
bit, "I can't. Hell, to be in there play-
ing, I've got to keep battling. I'm not
so good that I can take it easy or af.
ford to relax." Small wonder, then,
that the boys chose the lithe guard
to lead them.
New Illinois Sextet
Opposes Stronger
Wolverine Squad
For the first time in many seasons,
since Wisconsin had a varsity hockey
team, Michigan will play some other
school in the Big Ten besides Minne-
sota. Illinois, sporting its initial at-
tempt at an ice squad, is the Wol-
verines' next opponent, tomorrow
night at Champaign.
To date the Illini have been any-
thing but successful in their venture,
as might have been expected. But
they're coming right along. They have
the facilities and once the idea of
hockey gets going the proper material
will show up.
Their ice rink is the biggest college
indoor skating arena in the country
and one of the finest. This year it
was remodelled and the pipes used in
freezing underwent considerable re-
pair at a big expense.
Michigan will not find the Illini
difficult and should have no trouble in
winning. Last week Minnesota tram-
pled the newcomers by a 7-2 score.
And they weren't even half trying.
If by some quirk of chance Mich-
igan should lose, it would drop them
from the tie for the Big Ten title
which they now share with the Goph-
ers. But that is too unlikely.

Of Football Staff
(Continued from Page )
matriculated here from Muskegon
High School.
After graduating from Michigan
in 1928 Oosterbaan became an as-
sistant coach in football, basketball
and baseball and continued in chose
capacities up to the present.
Fielding H. Yost, in commenting on
the resignation of Cappon who hadt
been head basketball coach since 1931i
and had also served on the footballj
coaching staff, said:
"For 15 years, Cappon has played
an important part in the- Michigan
athletic program. As a student, he
was an outstanding football and bas-
ketball player and proved himself, in
later years, as an able teacher in both
sports. Having coached ends, tackles
and the backfield, he has a thorough
knowledge of the duties of these posi-
tions and should prove an able as-
sistant to Tad Wieman (recently ap-
pointed head coach at Princeton). It
is needless to say that the very best
wishes of all of us go with him to his
new position."
The exact duties of Oosterbaan and
Weber in connection with football are
not yet definite. However, they will
be available for any duties that may
be assigned to them by Crisler who
was not in Ann Arbor at the time of
the appointments by the Board.
Robert Lindgren NamedI
New Basketball Manager
Accompanying the announcement
of Michigan's new basketballcaptain

apolis, Ind., will be the manager of the

Milwaukee; Wis.
The following men were given jun-
ior managerships: Lorenz W. Rinek,
'40E, of Washington, Pa., Seymour
Elman, '40, of Detroit, Einar Almdale,

Following in the footsteps of his
older brother, Blair Thomas, a former
Wolverine wrestling captain, Earl
Thomas left that well-known town
of Cresco, Iowa, where more than one
wrestJing champion has been turned
out, and enrolled in the Wolverine
school in an attempt to seek further
glory, this time as a member of Coach
Keen's Varsity squad.
Before leaving that metropolis,
which is somewhere in the corn state
and is being boosted as the home
town for the Nichols brothers, also
members of Coach Keen's gang, the
future co-captain of the Wolverines
had made a name for himself as being
one of the outstanding high school
wrestlers in the country." In a man-
ner similar to Paul Cameron, also
from Cresco, Earl captured two state
titles at 118 pounds in two consecu-
tive years.
Won A.A.U. Title
In his senior year of precollege
wrestling, "Tommy" had the distinc-
tion of being the only high school
wrestler ever to annex a national
A.A.U. championship. Thus with this
record behind him Earl hit Ann Arbor
with a reputation, and along with
that ,the will to keep going to further
honors under the leadership of Coach
<een. Taking a course similar to that
of John Speicher and "Cammey,"
Earl made the Varsity squad when he
was a sophomore.
In his first year of intercollegiate
zompetition the Cresco Iowan went
through the season and had only one
defeat chalked up against him. As a
Sophomore member of Coach Keen's
.natmen, Earl was runner up at 135
thei names appear only in the winm lo nnnpae
column.
Having the same desire as Co-
Captain John Speicher, Earl plans to
take the Conference championship s
away from Illinois this Saturday and
bring it back for the local fans. Not
cnly is "Tommy" looking forward to
this, but he is seeking revenge, as are
"Cammey" and "Nick" over their
Hoosier opponents.
