The joint attraction has been scheduled for Friday night, Jan. 8, and will be held as usual in the Var- sity pool in the Sports Building. Thei feature event will be a ten-man relay race (each man to swim 25 yards) between the Army and Navy. This special race will not carry an AAU championship with it, but don't let anyone tell you that it won't be hotly contested. Already the personnel oft both teams are rounding into shape. At the present time Matt is in Co- lumbus attending a meeting of Na- tional AAU officials. It is expected that the time and place of this year's National AAU swimming champion- ships will be decided at this gather- ing. As yet. no dual meets have been scheduled. Athletic Director Fritz Crisler is in Chicago to help make out the Big Ten swimming calendar, and as soon as the Wolverine's Con- ference schedule is arranged Coach Mann will book meets with other schools. Entry blanks for the Gala and AAU championships are now available and not be a blood-and-thunder battle the program are: 50 yard freestyle, 440 yard freestyle, 100 yard breast- stroke, 100 yard backstroke, diving, and 200 yard freestyle relay. There will also be two handicap races-25 freestyle for men and 50 yard free- style for women. -- Be A Goodfellow - Navy Cagers Play In Tourney Tonight Playing off the second round of their round robin intramural basket- ball tournament, the Navy V-12 unit will have ten teams in action to-I night. The Navy teams take the floor promptly at 7:00 o'clock. The Sea Wolves are scheduled to play the Bulldogs, and 'the Fins will meet the Raiders. The Paper Dolls are paired against the Fouled Anchors and the Sea Gulls play a game against the Gyrenes. The First Company of the Second Battalion is pitted against the Otters. In the first round of the tourna- ment the Bulldogs, the First Com- pany of the Second Battalion, the Fouled Anchors, the Sea Gulls, the Gyrenes and the Paper Dolls came out on top. When the Michigan ice squad faces the London A. C. in the first hockey game Dec. 11. fans will have an op- portunity to see a performance utter- ly unprecedented in between-halves history. Since the Michigan coeds have tak- en over so many of the positions for- merly held by men, they have de- cided that they should try their skill at the ice game. In past years between halves their have been ex- hibitions of fancy skating of various sorts, and sometimes music played. At other times the only entertain- ment has been in the form of little boys shoveling and sweeping off the ice and then free-skating in the few minutes left. However. the coeds have decided to make this game different. Not only will the hockey team play during the game, but there will be a hockey, game between halves to make it a continuous round of the puck game. The girls have decided that thej game will be an indication of what1 will happen before thesnew draft quota is filled-a game showing the horrible effects of taking away all the men. The game will not be played in the usual fashion with a hockey stick and puck, but the girls will be armed with brooms and a basketball. Moreover, the rules of the game will be slightly changed, and since the women have not as yet developed the stamina of the average hockey player, the game will only last five minutes. The team is officially called the JGP "Bond Bombers," and at the present time there is only one team selected. However, volunteers for a second team to create opposition, are turning up and will be on hand to provide the competition on the elev- enth. It must be added that unlike the usual game of hockey this fray will not be a blood-and-thunder battle but will be for entertainment only. Heard This One? WE RETELL here a story that should remind you of that fam- ous Chinese proverb, "He who refuses to eat chop suey because he has no time to see what is in it, must eat rice." (It you hear a rumbling noise when you read this proverb, it, is probably Confucius turning over in his grave ins agony.) Last summer Navy officials quer- ied Northwestern on the possibility of sending one extra boy to its V-12 program. The authorities at Ev- anston promptly wired back, "No room. Sorry." Not to be quieted so easily the stubborn Navy officers immediately asked Notre Dame if it could take an extra student in its Naval program. "Sorry, but we are all filled up." So. as a last resort, the Navy turned to Michigan and sent a plea to Wol- verine authorities, "Can you possibly find room for one more boy in your V-12 program?" Michigan, just like Jimmie Durante, who is "never too busy to say hello," was not too full to say yes, and so the return wire stat- ed, "Guess we can squeeze in one more." None of the other schools both- ered to ask the name of this boy. It turned out to be BILL DALEY, All-American fullback at Minne- sota in 1941, and ditto at Michigan in 1943. WHAT do you think of our Chinese proverb now? Evef ConfuciAs would have to admit it was better than something like "Everything comes to him who waits"- or "Take time to sow a good field and you will reap a handsome harvest." We be- lieve that if you can't think of an appropriate aphorism or proverb, it is better to make one up than to accept an inferior product.. . A TOUGH DECISION: We think it is strange for men like Daley, Elroy Hirsch and other collegiate transfers at Michigan to win letters at two schools. How about the case of Vic Schwall, freshman backfield star at Northwestern this fall. Vic had the unusual distinction of winning varsity letters from two schools in the same season! He qual- ified for his "N" at Northwestern before being transferred as a Naval aviation cadet to DePauw, where he played football and won his "D." Strictly a man of letters ..
