April 8 DOES the eliminated center tap in basketball promote such a con- tinuous grind of action that the av-: erage cager becomes subject to "ath- lete's heart?"} Purdue, in three games during the recent recess, totalled 187 points or better than a point and a half per minute. Stanford, against Duquesne last week, scored 92 points, or more than two a minute. Does this in- ordinate activity wreak such havoc on the human torso that heart spe- cialists will be besieged, as some critics hold, with patients within a few years- The Californians have scheduled a tentative tour for their Varsity nine; i i morrow night in the games here, Michigan's first of two< hockey team E That, at least, seems to be the current contention among cer- tain observers, who charitably suggest an immediate reversion to the safe and sane center jump, which permitted brief relief from the tenseness of sustained effort that characterizes the present brand of bounce, basket and bustle. These alarmists claim the advantages of the foot race posing as basketball now do not offset the physical destruction accruing therefrom, and perhaps they're right. But in their reac- tionary haste they fail to search for some means of relief in the new set-up. For example, hockey makes equal,, if not greater, demands upon the body than does basketball; yet, no hue and cry is forthcoming to sug- gest playing hockey to the three- quarter tempo of the Blue Danube Waltz. In the blur of burning speed, the rough clash of flying bodies and the ever-present danger of a sharp, upset blade slicing a vital spot, hockey is doubly dangerous. And ac- tion is almost ceaseless. Six men, with infrequent substitutions, could not possibly be expected to weather 60 minutes of swift and severe skat- ing, purposeful bumping and, some- times, impetuous mayhem. Hockey officials failed to become unduly alarmed, however, and devised a simple system of substitutions where- by one line and a set of defensemen replaces those playing every few minutes. Only a goalie plays throughout, and though his position is one of the toughest in the book, the physical demands as he bows be- fore the goal aren't quite as taxing. Spike James, Michigan's crack net- minder, weighs only 125 pounds and has shown no signs of wilting yet. Since basketball probably got its cue for added speed from the popularity of hockey and its zephyr-like whoop-de-doo, the hardwood powers might borrow further from the ice game and develop these reserve combina- tions for mass substitutions. The new hockey line manages to swish onto the ice and replace the old group with scarcely a break in the flow of action be- cause subs are not required to report to the referee, as in bas- ketball. In such the same man- ner, substitutions in basketball might be made. After all, college games are designed to permit as many students as pos- sible the benefits of participation, teamplay and coaching. Moreover, liberal use'of reserves spare the regu- lar men complete exhaustion and would likely silence the critics. The objections that removing key men weakens a team too much, is an- can look ahead to a full and complete9 schedule, one that, when it is finished,e will include at least 19 games. v The most outstanding item on the list is the single game scheduled with the University of Illinois at Cham-E paign on March 10.r Not since Wisconsin dropped outt of the Big Ten has any other schoolsC besides Michigan and Minnesota ins the Western Conference boasted ae Varsity puck squad. But this year, almost without warning, the south- ernmost university in the loop offered r its first ice team in its history. Many Reasons For Entering r The reasons for the sudden sched- uling of the Michigan team are ap- parent,,Illinois would like to taket part in Big Ten hockey because it has the facilities for it. It would mean another sport on the Illini calendar. 1 Heretofore the rink has been re-1 served for Intramural play. Schedul- ing Michigan, which has been known as a school with g6od hockey teams will give it publicity. It was only re- cently that a necessary appropriation was received to cover the additional1 expense.} But one thing remains in the dark. Have the Illini a team strong enough! to cope with Michigan-that is, can they, in one short season, develop a team. This remains to be seen. Can't Hope For Title This Year The addition of Illinois to the win- ter sport card now makes the matter of the Big Ten championship more than just a battle between Minnesota and Michigan, but it is doubtful that, in their first year, the Illini can even hope to cop the title. Although the game is carded for Champaign there may still be a1 chance for a game between the Wol- verines and the Illini here at the Col- iseum. However, Michigan's hockey schedule is almost complete, and it will be hard to find an open date for a clash on Ann Arbor ice. Illinois, even though it is south, compared with the rest of the league, has on its campus one of the best and biggest college ice hockey rinks in the country. During the last year it was not maintained and rapid deteriora- tion set in. But with the opening of school this year funds were found to put the place in good repair again. swered in hockey. As a common rule, with both teams practicing it, neith- er team would suffer greatly. And the whirlwind which fans seek to satiate their desire for more speed in their athletic events could better be produced by frequent injections of fresh talent. DOTS AND DASHES: The enticing portrait of Miss Hope Chandler ("Most Beautiful Woman in Para- dise"), which appeared on the cover of a recent issue of Life magazine, lured the Michigan cagers into the Paradise, a New York restaurant and nitery, when they visited the East for an introduction to the lovely lady ....

Last year Coach Keen's men won by the narrow mar- gin of one point, bringing about the second dual meet defeat that In- diana has suffered in five years. When co-captains John Speicher and Earl Thomas arrive on foreign soil they are going to find a very re- vengeful and powerful opponent awaiting them. Having the good for- tune of losing no one by graduation, and gaining two through eligibility, the Hoosier's will have a stronger team this year than the one that barely lost to Michigan last season. "Two-Bits" Myers Is Tops In the 118 pound class "Two-Bits" Myers will seek a win over John Speicher, whom he fought to a draw in an overtime contest last year. As a sophomore Myers won the Big Ten Championship and repeated that feat as a junior.

They stepped into the chill winds that swept the railroad station, mumbled a few hel- los, and were driven off to the college in a fleet of taxicabs. There was no reception. The crowd of more than a thousand cheering fans who greeted the team when it returned from the west coast at the close of its regular season was miss- ing. seems ready to repeat his victory this year. The Hoosiers have had two pre- liminary matches to date and have had no trouble in showing that they are truely potent. In a dual meet against Cincinnati they won by a score of 30 to 0. At Chicago, in an invitational meet, they also came out on top. 1period. The score was deadlocked 44-44 at the end of regulation time.
