AND THE CLAMOR continues un-
abated.
Indignant alumni from points as
far distant as Los Angeles, Cal., be-
rate us daily with streams of blue-
back invective, demanding to know
why we take Fielding H. Yost's sum-
nary dismissal of Harry Kipke with-
out a clamorous protest. They deny
Kipke was "incompetent," that he
had truck with dubious private as-
sociates, that he indulged in organiz-
ing subsidies, that he sanctioned
malpractices during the summer and
that he failed to maintain the re-
spect and confidence of his own staff.
Far removed from the actual
scene, they have the stranger's
privilege of drawing upon fig-
ments of their imagination to
condemn Kipke's release or of
believing what they read by
metropolitan sportswriters who
dote on such controversial fodder
to tide them through the be-
tween-season lull. But if they
want to know why the Daily re-
fuses to beat the tom-toms of re-
sentment, we'll tell them why
forthwith.
Yost No Ax Man . .
1. Fielding H. Yost swung no dicta-
torial axe in the Kipke case. Yost,
however aware he was of Kipke's
shortcomings, did not instigate the
action against him. Fearing revile-
titent from alumni groups and news-
papers, with whom he knew Kipke
had ingratiated himself, the veteran
athletic director refused to indict the
man he made into an All-American
back. Instead, the other members of
the Board, on the strength of their
investigations, united in opposition to
Kipke's retention. And that was
that
2, Kipke failed utterly to or-
ganize his coaching associates. It
was Kip on one side against the
rest of the staff. He lacked their
confidence and respect, and "a
house divided against itself . ..
Need more be said.. ..
3. Kipke lacked the faith of the
ien he coached. If any alumnus,
any avowed Kipke supporter, can
answer that charge then the World
War was a mirage and the depression
a colossal myth. Men should emerge
itrom four years of football with a
few solid values and ideals of leader-
shaip. If when they quit, they're
somewhat bitter and crushed, then
something is definitely wrong.
Without debating their truth
or falsity, all the other charges
which beset Kipke can be for-
gotten, On charge No. 3 above,
he-or any other coach in Amer-
ica--can be crucified. To news-
men, to alumni and friends of
the University, Kipke was anin-
gratiating man, with personality
that would have made him. a
first-rate salesman. But to some
of his owu mein, he was some-
thing 'inaccessible, cold, distant.
Some of them (and they'velearned
the advisability of punctuating their
remarks with Don't Quote Me) felt
they didn't know him, that visiting
him was tantamount to invading the
inner sanctums of some strange ex-
ecutive, in whose presence they were
nervous. This failure to know their
coach very likely accentuated their
grievances.
unacquainted???
The further charge that he
didn't know his personnel re-
ceived impetus when a disgrunt-
led substitute, who had threat-
ened to quit the squad in the
morning, turned up in the after-
noon as a regular, even though
he missed practice the day before
because of classes. These things
were enough to cause some of
the boys to speak out in private
conversation just how they felt.
But that Kipke's affability weaved
its spell among the boys is not de-
nied. A sub, who was dissatisfied
because he thought he wasn't get-

Victory Over Trigon
By BILL BLACK
Alpha Tau Omega became the new
Interfraternity swimming champion
Wednesday afternoon when they
overwhelmed unbeaten Sigma Alpha
Epsilon tankers 41 to 20 at the I-M
pool.
The A.T.O. swimmers also addedl
the water polo crown, defeating Tri-
gon 2 to 1 in a thrilling match that
took four overtimes before the de-
cision was reached.
Outcome Never Doubted.
There was never any doubt about
the outcome of the swimming meet
after the second event when Mall
Lang and Bill Gabriel finished one-
two in the breast stroke.
The victors, who hold the fraternity:
record in the 100-yard free style relay,
were b:rd pressed to win this event
but managed to finish ahead due
largely to the efforts of Tom Col-
bridge, A.T.O. sprint star.
Tom Courtney and Bob Bogle put
on a great battle in the 50-yard free
style race but the former Jayvee
football player gave the winners an-
other first, beating Bogle in the last
five yards.

Competition Increases
This season, Coach Franklin C.j

other way for an invasion of the East.
Comparing the present trip with last;
year's finds mileage the only variant.
The quintet won't travel as ,far, but
their opposition will be on par with
the opponents of last year.
The degree of competition seems,.
to crescendo as the trip progresses.
Let's survey the first three oppon-
ents that the team will face-Akron
Yanks Named
Greatest Sport
Team Of 1937
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-(P)-The.
outstanding athletic team of 1937,
the experts have ruled, was the New
York Yankee nine, champion of the
baseball world.
Forty-two of the 50 experts partici-
pating in the seventh annual Asso-
ciated Press poll cast their balolts for
Joe McCarthy's aiamond bombers
who piled up a total of 138 points in
leading the poll for the second time
in as many years and for the third
time in its seven-year history.
Although given only two-first place
votes, the Pitt Panthers' undefeated
football array easily took second
place in the balloting with 62 points,
exactly twice as many as were cast
for Don Budge and his Davis Cup'
tennis team-mates.
Tabulation of the returns: (Points
on a 3-2-1 basis, each expert naming
his first three choices in order of
preference:
First Points
AKRON: Will probably line up as
follows: Ned Endress and "Skelly"
Becker at forwards; big Moose Tsal-
off at center; and Joe Carnahan and
Bob Mott at guards.
Tsaloff is their outstanding man,
the husky, rough and tough center;
combining height and experience to
good advantage. Becker, another six
footer, is also a threat.
MARYLAND: Wolverine height
provides a big edge here. Maryland
is sorely hurt by the absence of
Charlie Keller and Fred Thomas, two
mainstays of last year, and Coach
Burton Shipley is still shifting his
lineup to find a winning combina-
tion. Eddie Johnson, a six foot one
inch junior is fairly secure in one of
the forward jobs with diminutive
Waverly Wheeler, only five foot nine
inches but a letterman of some re-
pute, favored at the other forward
berth.
Sophs At Pivot
Charlie Norton and Francis Beam-
er, two big sophs, are battling it out
for center honors although there is
a strong possibility that one of them
will be shifted to the weak guard
position. Here Milton Mulitz, Cole-
man Headley, and Bill Rea hold fort
in not too impressive style.
DARTMOUTH: Watch out here!
Michigan's first really strong oppon-
ent. Big, experienced, and well
coached, the Indians can be counted
on for the stiffest opposition. Will
probably line up as follows: Capt.
Bill Thomas and Joe Cottone at for-
wards; Moose Dudis at center; and
Joe Batchelder and Bob MacLeod at
the guards.
Thomas, a crack shot, will pro-
vide the Wolverines with plenty of
trouble. A crack shot, he is fast, and
rangy and has abundant experience.
Dudis, the husky center, feeds the
ball on many of the play with speedy
Cottone and Thomas breaking in
basket bound.

"I sat and talked with Kip on the
trip, and I'm telling you, when he left
me I'd have done or died for him.
That's the kind of fleeting impres-

practice field everyday, we saw him
in a different light, grim and serious
and unreceptive. And that's where it
counted."
Maybe. Kip's perspective wasj
