"Jake Townsend plying his magic at the pivot post, and one without him. Al the risk of being obvious, it may be observed that the former is distinctly superior. Before Jake put in his belated ap pearance yesterday afternoon, the Varsity appeared so-so against a scrappy, undersized freshman squad Dan Smick, who was operating in Townsend's stead, can acquit him- self creditably in any hardwood league, and will probably start and finish many Wolverine tilts this sea- son. But without Jake, no matter who's in action, Coach Cappon lacks the easy assurance and snap that characterizes it when the "Hoosier skipper" is on the feeding line. Townsend possesses indescribable intuition in his passing, although it's hard sometimes to believe he doesn't have a hidden eye in the back of his head.. A pair of strong wrists enable him to flip the bs gfr mris- possible angles.. Lest it be mistaken that he's a flash-in the Barney Old- field sense-permit this observation: lie plays a sound game, without any wild climactic flings which usually end in a rout. Experience has taught him to take daring chances with his passes, but they are rare. Usually, he's very methodical, searching for a sure opening before firing. He's one of the few cagers who can stand still and appear sensational at the same time. Jake's Not Alone . . . YESTERDAY'S SCRIMMAGE re- vealed that roly-poly Herm Fish- man, steady, durable and colorful, will provide an able running mate for Hoosier Jake. Though not a speed merchant, Herm reacts with lightning quickness, which makes him plenty valuable in Cappon's pat formations. Some day he may fake himself out of his shoes, but not until a frantic guard is driven to distraction. The little southpaw has a tricky one-hand push shot which is hard to stop, and he can pop them through the mesh from the distance. His clever drib- bling is effective in bringing the ball down the floor. , Le Beebe, an aggressive guard for- ever willing to learn and consequently improving all the time, seems to be Cappon's choice for one of the back positions. Ed Thomas and Bill Bar- clay are flip-up choices for the other back spot.. Both boys are fast. Tho- inas is a pretty fair long shot, and Barclay is a quick starter, effective in breaking fast for a "dog." Bill's estab- lished quite a reputation for his com- petitive spirit.. When the chips are down, he's there-and prominently, too. Jim Rae is the sophomore for whom everyone has a knowing smile. A paser of extraordinary ability, he ihould relieve Jake of those two- men-on-one arrangements. Moreover, the lanky center handles himself with grace under the baskets. Rae's bril- liance is not likely to eclipse Smick's chances, however, Big Dan is a good passer and good shot and knows the cage angles. He's been called a Sat- urday athlete because he rarely scin- tillates in practice. And Cappie has others, like Man- nie Slavin, Dick Long, Charlie Pink, John Nicholson, Russ Dobson and Bob Palmer. More in particular about them in another column. Yet, the tacit Wolverine mentor is a study in restrained optimism. His chances in the Big Ten are exceedingly bright, with Northwestern and Minnesota providing the dangerous opposition. 3i Y t TIn. ..i..,. v.} .-,7 . ., L. L.. . }. . . ..-, }1>. .
