Y THURSDAY, DEU. 9, 193'7 Varsity Five Nears Top Form With Three Wins Over Frosh Faculty Is Victorious In Squash State Swamps Hope In First Start,_5 1 -27 Falkowski Leads Attack With 19 Points As Early Lead Is Never Lost By BUD BENJAMIN EAST LANSING, Dec. 8.--(Special to The Daily)-Michigan State's bas- ketball team flashed surprising pow- er in their opening game of the Our- rent season here tonight, overwhelm- ing little Hope College in a 51 to 27! basket barrage. State jumped to a 16 to 6 lead after eight minutes of play had passed in the first period and never were head- ed. The Spartans led 30 to 17 at the half. Rival Teams Quake As Grid Aces Take Court It seems as if they're just insep- arable. The football season is over, but big Joe Savilla, the six-foot three inch tackle, and his little pal, Herc Renda, are teammates once more, this time as members of the Grid Aces basketball team, one of theen- tries in the independent division of the intramural league. Savilla plays center and Renda for- ward on the Aces, a team composed solely of members of the football squad. It's roster includes Archie Kodros, the barrel-chested sopho- more center, Herm Ulevitch, who is the team's playing manager, Dave Gates, Don Cash, Joe Goldberg, and Ed Frutig. Spartans Hit Pigskin Trail For Bowl Tilt Stout Defense Features Play In cr illmave Return Of Irish To Wolverine Schedules Favored By Coachesa Two sophomore forwards, George Falkowski and Marty Hutt, led the State parade, collaberating for 31 points. Falkowski accounted for 19 of these, tallying nine field goals and a foul in his first game as a Spartan. Hope Never Had Chance The hopelessly outclassed Hope contingent never had a chance. The big State quintet, averaging over six feet in height, practically controlled the ball at will. All of Falkowski's scoring was done from underneath leis own basket on set up shots as the smaller Hope squad found Spartan height and form too great an obstacle to beat. Big Hutt was a constant threat, his all around play sparking the State attack. Along with veteran Ben Dargush, Spartan center, who net- ted eight points, these two sopho- mores ran wild from their front line positions. Substitute Frequently Using a fast break almost exclusive- ly, State broke this front line trio into the clear for set ups time and again throughout the game. The twoy guards, Leo Callahan and Howardl Kraft, had little chance to show their ability but fitted well into the State machine when needed. Frequent State substitutions found 12 Spartans in action during the game although the first team played the greater portion of the final period. In' this frame, Hope scored only three times from the floor. Don Thomas was the only visitor who managed to shake off the Spar-, tan's tight defense to any extent. He1 scored four field goals and added three fouls for 11 points. EAST LANSING, Dec. 8.-- (AP) - The Michigan State College football team hit the pigskin trail again to- day when more than 40 husky Spar- tans reported for 'the first post-sea- son drill in State's history. Forced indoors by a driving snow, the team went through setting up exercises and ran through signals for little more than an hour in the col- lege's Demonstration Hall. Despite a layoff since Nov. 27, the first string team showed a snap that should give Auburn a headache when State faces the southern team in the Orange Bowl at Miami on New Year's Day. Coach Charley Bachman said he would follow the same routine Thurs- day, but indicated he would take the team outdoors for a real workout Friday if the weather permitted. He said he planned no more than two or three scrimmage sessions before State leaves for the south Dec. 21. Majors End Uneventful Meeting Without A Deal= CHICAGO, Dec. 8.- (P) - The dullest major league baseball meeting in recent years ended today with both the National and American circuits pulling a "balk." There was not a single deal of im- portance during the major meetings. Managers succeeded in creating noth- ing more than rumor "smoke" which continued to drift about as the dele- gates packed bags for departure. The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds, it was reported, still were dickering, but Cub officials indicated there was lit- tle likelihood of any action.i In eri m a~ e B ME1 FNEBtIGHere is what the Michigan coachesI At long last a sporting natural has Hr swa h ihgncahs tng lasta po hreTh nWtral hs fthink of this renewal of athletic re- Yearlings Overpowered As taken place here.
