THE MICHIGAN DAILY AE Reserves Stop Varsity Five In Drill, 64-42 Smick Returns To Action; Dobson Leads Attack; Brogan, Sofiak Star ll CageI ] Coach Bennie Qosterbaan's first string basketball quintet was soundly drubbed yesterday but at the end of drill Bennie was smiling. "That's the best scrimmage we've had this year," he grinned. And it was. The reserves were hot and the score shows it. They whipped the regulars 64 to 42 in 40 minutes of the fastest basketball seen in a Michigan practice for many a moon. The return to action of veterar. for- ward Danny Smick shifted scpho- more Mike Sofiak to the second team where he proceeded to team up with Soph Herb Brogan and Russ Dobson. That trio scored 50 points between them, enough to win the game. Smick At Forward With the installation of Smick at forward, Eddie Thomas was moved to guard on the first squad while Rae, Pink and Beebe remained at their respective center, guard, and forward positions. High scorer of the contest was Russ Dobson, second string canter, who took advantage of a bit of loose guarding plus a sharp-shooting eye to chalk up 18 points, but the feature of the game was Herb Brogan, all- state guard from Lansing St. Mary's. When Herb is "right" he is a truly great long shot artist and he was right yesterday afternoon. Popping from his guard position, Herb scored 11 points in the first half and six in the second for a 17 total on the day. That's a real score even for a forward. Sofiak Gets 15 Tallies Mike Sofiak, was close behind with 15 points every one of which was earned by virtue of his bulldog, ag- gressive tactics. Little Milo Sukup and big John Nicholson each scored eight points to complete their tcam's victory. The regulars didn't play bad ball by any means but they couldn't cope with the suddenly inspired play of their opponents. Jim Rae led the way with 12 points and Capt. Leo Beebe scored 10 chiefly through his effective follow-up tactics. Danny Smick was participating in his first hard scrimmage of the sea- son wearing a special hip guard to protect the muscles torn in football. His height proved valuable under the basket although he still was a bit rusty in his passing. Coach Oosterbaan was driving his charges hard to get them in shape for the approaching season's opener with Michigan State which comes off a week from tomorrow night. Ii the boys aren't in shape, it won't be be- cause they haven't been doing enough running.

With that Mr. Oosterbaan stepped on his cagarette, donned his favorite grey coat, and left your chronicler to his thoughts. - - - - THE OLD HOKUM BUCKET It happens every year at this time. The grapevine starts talking about the masked marvels among the fresh- men gridders who are going to be slightly terrific next fall, Last year Ohio State reported that Scott, a freshman back, was a miniature Frankenstein, unstoppable, amaz- ingly superb. And now the Buckeyes have another. His name is Kincaid. He played fullback for the frosh this Haynie Heads Varsity Team In Gala Show The best college swimming team in the United States will give its initial public preview ofj the material which Coach Matt Mann calls "the best looking in years" in the annual Gala Swim at the intramural building pool on the evening of Dec. . Leading the national intercollegiate champs will be Capt. Tom Haynie. Haynie, voted the best college swim- mer in the country two years ago, will probably swim the 200-yard free- style and then swim anchor on both the free-style and medley relay teams. The varsity this year is replete with nationally prominent natators and most of them will participate in the Gala. Waldemar Tomsk, free-styl- .r who finished third in. the 50 and who swam on the winning 400-yard free-style relay, Johnny Haigh, who took fourth in the breast-stroke, and Ed Hutchens, another member of the winning free-style relay at the nationals, are others who will com- pete. But the varsity will be counting" heavily this year on the new blood coming up from last year's freshmen squad. Bill Beebe, Chuck Barker, sand Bill Holmes, who double in the free-style sprints and back-stroke and doboth well, Blake Thaxter and Jin Welsh, distance free-stylers, are all sophomores who will bear watch- ing this year. Nor is talent lacking in the dive. Hal Benham and Adolph Perstenfeld, third and fourth respectively in last year's nationals, will be ably sup- ported by sophomores Tommy O'Neill and Ralph Psyzynski. "I believe more good would be done the state as a whole if the money used in hiring football coaches were used to improve the state's livestock. "Why," he concluded, "you ought 'to be able to buy a dozenI dandy bulls for what one coach- ing staff costs." Yes, Mr. Scott, but would they be. able to build character. --0 PICKUPS: Fritz Crisler rendered disapproval to President Hutch- ins' proposals at Saginaw Wednesday night ...

Big Ten Athletic Directors and gridiron coaches, drafting the Con- ference schedule for 1942, put Chi- cago down for four Conference battles-compared to the three Big Ten games the Maroons are slated to play in each of the next three sea- sons. Authorities at Chicago, which has won only one Big Ten contest in three seasons, recently announced continuance of a gradual lightening of the Maroon gridiron load. Chicago won one game in eight starts this past campaign and the possibility of Chicago ultimately dropping out of the Conference seemed bolstered by the fact Chicago is down for only three Big Ten games in 1939, 1940 and 1941. Today, Chicago scheduled games with Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan and Illinois for 1942. Indiana en- countered some difficulty in complet- ing a schedule but took on 1942 dates with Chicago, Iowa, Minnesota and Purdue. Notre Dame,'with its strong draw- ing teams, landed 1942 games with Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwestern. In that year, which should produce a great race, these six teams play six Conference games: Minnesota, Ohio State, Northwestern, Illinois, Michi- gan and Iowa. Irish-U.S.C. Point For Saturday's Tilt, TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 1-(VP)-The Irish of Notre Dame entrained to- night for Los Angeles to meet the Trojans of the University of Southern California Saturday, with Coach El- mer Layden worried by the injury of Ben Sheridan, star halfback. Layden said the nature of Sheri- dan's injury was not known. The half- back collided with another player in practice today. A workout in Yuma, Ariz., tomor- row is on tap, with the team reach- ing Los Angeles late Friday night. Layden refused to admit satisfac- tion with the showing of the Irish today in their two secret sessions, but said they weren't "as bad" as yes- terday when he blamed their let- down on the warm Arizona sun and the two weeks of idleness since the Northwestern game. Welcome U. Of D. DETROIT, Dec. 1.-(P)-Students and alumni of the University of De- troit Thursday completed plans for a huge welcome for their football team when it returns here Friday night from, a surprising 7 to 6 win over Santa Clara at Sacramento, Calif. Charles E. (Gus) Dorais, De- troit, coach, is not with the squad, having remained on the coast to see Saturday's Notre Dame - Southern California struggle. After their opening three games last season, the Gophers played the best ball in the Conference to win nine straight and finish a hair's breadth behind the winning Purdue quintet. Coach Dave MacMillan's boys can perhaps blame the whole thing on their difficult non-Confer- ence schedule prior to the opening of the regular season and especially the, Eastern trip during the holidays. Following impressive victories at Madison Square Garden in Decem- ber, the Gophers were victims of an inevitable let-down and dropped their first three Big Ten battle to Chicago, Iowa and Michigan. But when they snapped out of it, there was no stop- ping them the rest of the way. Alas, it was too late. Another Young Now, with their opening game scheduled for tomorrow night, Goph- er enthusiasm is running high once more. Four of last season's quintet are back this year. Only guard Martin Rolek was lost by graduation and eager to replace him are Johnny Dick, letterman, Jack Young, brother of Purdue's champion scorer, Jewell Young, and several more. The veteran quartet which has been scoring at will in practice scrim- mages includes Gordy Spear at cen- ter, Johnny Kundla and Gordy Ad- dington at the forwards and Paul Maki at guard from which position he scored 88 points last season, a fine record for a guard. Using the fast-breaking attack, the style of play which Michigan will adopt this year, the Gopher quintet is hard' to beat. Their ball-handling is crisp and when the forwards draw the defense in close to the basket, Lm- IFF I i4 Pick Heikkinen' On U..P. Team Poles 226 Votes To Lead For Guard Position Add the United Press; All-Ameri- can eleven for 1938 to Ralph Heik- kinen's list. In a copyright story, the news syn- dicate gave Heikkinen a conclusive majority in naming him as right guard. He polled 226 votes while his nearest competitor, Bob Suffridge of Tennessee, who was named to the left guard post, garnered only 140 points. Heikkinen to date has been named on every important All-American eleven. Stated the UP in making their se- lection: "He dominated the voting for guard on ballots from east, west, south and north. He has a trick on defense of jamming the opposing line and making a hole for a teammate to go through and get the ball carrier. On offense he excels in swinging out to lead the interference and often gets in two blocks on a play. He is so good that four professional teams have approached him, but he wants to study law."
