seems to have the edge because of his
aggressive type of play both on of-
fense and defense. Gibert, on the
other hand, originally was a center
until Oosterbaan converted him tc
forward this season.
In all probability MacConnachie
will start, but if his leg is bothering
him too much, Morrie Bikoff will take
over his berth. If he gets the start-
ing assignment, fikoff will be the
only Wolverine under six feet in
height
Capt. Cartmill At Forward
Capt. Bill Cartmill will be at his
usual spot at forward and Leo Doyle
will play the other guard 'position
Big Jim Mandler, out to repeat his
scoring performance of last Saturday,
will hold down the pivot slot.
Starting hip 19th season as basket-
ball coach at Notre Dame, George
Keogan has been shifting his lineup
around in order to find a winning
combination,and he may come up
with that one tonight.
Iii their first major test last Satur-
day against Wisconsin, Keogan s1 rt-
ed a sophomore-junior combination
and if it had not been for the fact
that the Irish committed 22 persona
fouls they might have beaten the
Badgers. As it was Notre Dame 'sank

Assistant Coach Ray Meyer, Notre
Dame captain curing the 1936-37 and

Fencers Work To
Sport A Futt
By BART JENKS
Michigan may have a Varsity fenc-
ing team in the not too distant fu-
ture-at least that is the goal of the
30 men who practice three times a
week at the Sports Building.
This year promises to be the best
yet for student fencers. Scimitar,
national honorary rencing society,
has organized a team of its mem-
bers here with the result that for
the first time a group of University
fencers will be able to meet outside
opponents. In fact, the team will
be one of a six team league including.
Olivet, -Michigan State, Wayne, the
Grosse Pointe Sword Club, and the
Sally de Tuscan Club.1
Preparing the team for its first
meet on Jan. 18 are Ray Chambers
and Johnny Dreher, both of !whom
are fencers with considerable experi-
ence. According to Chambers, the
meets will include duels with the.
foil, saber, and epee with the num-
ber of duels dependent on the amount
and quality of material.
With Chambers, his brother, Pearce
and Dreher as playing coaches, the
Puck Team To Play.
Huskies In January
Resuming hostilities before the
end of vacation, the Michigan hockey
team will meet a strong aggregation
from Michigan Tech on Jarguary
third and fifth on the Tech ice at
Houghton.
The Wolverine puckmen will re-
turn to Ann Arbor, on Dec. 30 to
practice for their first encounters
of the season with the Huskies.
Coach Eddie Lowrey will have his
boys working at top speed in prepar-
ation for the two contests in which
the Michigan team will attempt to
hold its supremacy over the Tech
squad which lost two games to the
University outfit during last year's
season.
