j.!\ ..r rrrr:rr M' Cagers Face Miami U 111 Home Opener Offensive Changes Made In initial Hockey Drills Wolverines Favored Ove n A full week of rather rugged practice sessions have produced some changes in Coach Vic Hey- liger's offensive plans for the Wol- verine hockey squad who open the winter campaign this Saturday against McMaster. With only two weeks to get into condition for the beginning of a long and perilous 25 game sched- ule, Vic has sent the Michigan ice- men through lengthy scrimmage every day since the drills began. THE IMMEDIATE results of those intra-squad skirmishes has been the elevation of two veterans of last season, Al Bassey and Joe Marmo, to the second line to flank the 19 year old newcomer Bob Heathcott. Heyliger had originally planned to use these two wing- imen on the third line with Len- ny Brumm and three sopho- mnores'on the second line of for- wards, but the showing that Bassey and Marno have made so far has pushed two of the first year men, Ron Roberts and Paul * 'w down a notch to work with Brumm. Wally Grant, Neil Celley, and Gil Burford are still in a class by themselves and will make up the Wolverines' most potent scoring combination as the number one line. Defensively the Wolverine pilot has been pleased with the improve- :nent displayed by Bob Fleming and a sophomore, Graham Cragg, who will probably operate with Ross Smith and Owen McArdle around the nets. Heyliger was pretty well satis- fied with Sunday afternoon's workout in which a couple of last year's stars, Gordie McMillan. and Wally Gacek took part. By JOHN BARBOUR With a squeaking 52-49 victory over Michigan State tucked grate- fully under their arm, the Wolver- ine Cagers meet a skimpy Miami University quintet in the first home game of the season in Yost Field House at 7:30 tonight. Coach John Brickels in his first year leading the Redskin cage Waoil Makes 'Lookh' Squad Al Wahl, Michigan captain- elect and star defensive tackle, was picked on the first team of the Look magazine All-Ameri- can team, announced yesterday. The Look selections, made by a board headed by the dean of American sportswriters, Grant- land Rice, also included the name of Dick (Killer) Kemp- thorn, Wolverine fullback, on the second squad. The first team selections were dominated by the Midwest, which placed seven men. the season, they whipped Findlay 47-39. * * * LATER IN THEIR second start they came against Kent State, another Ohio state school, and fell under a 49-40 defeat. The Red and White are great- ly outmanned by the Wolverines, but they field a good sophomore forward in the person of Jim Heckaman. Heckaman stands six foot two and sports a total of 22 points in the two games play- ed so far. He is 10 points ahead of the next man on the scoring ladder, Ed Griesinger, who has 12 to his cre- dit. The Redskin scoring seems fairly well spread among the var- ious members indicating the team- work that Coach Brickels has been working on. r Redskins McCoy fields a team that has three men who match or top the tallest man on Miami's squad in height. Morrill, VanderKuy, and Skala have a total of six inches over the men they play against. he lineups: MICHIGAN POS. MIAMI (O) Morrill ....... G .....Griesinger Murray ....... G....

Japanese Swimming Feats Amaze American Tank Fans By GEORGE FLINT A lot of talk-most of it highly sensational-has been precipitated by the amazing feats of the swim- mers from Japan at the A.A.U. meet in California last summer. _. . A CUT FO COSTS! Today and EVERY day you can eat a COMPLETE DINNER for 59 C at J. D. MILLER'S CAFETERIA and COFFEE SHOP 211 South State Phone 2-8315 Dinner 5:15 - 7:15 Much of that talk has centered around such peculiarities of, form as the supposed four-beat kick used by FuruhAshi, and the un- orthodox stroke recovery and pull employed by all the Japanese com- petitors. * * * BUT TOO little of it has been about the primary reason for the success of these "human P-T boats"-the fact that they are in better condition than their Ameri- can counterparts. Actually, the form used by the Japanese is not a revolutionary improvement in swimming tech- nique. As Furihashi himself has told American experts, the Jap- anese athletes use the style they do because they've never been taught otherwise. The windmill-like arm recovery is more tiring than the American bent-arm type. The four-beat kick is a throwback to the early days of the Australian crawl. And the Javanese method of pulling, from the point of view of mechanical principle, wastes motion. THE WHOLE story of Japanese supremacy, as demonstrated at the California meet, is the unpar- alleled shape the athletes are in. They spend more time in the wat- er every day than any of the American college swimmers do (or are able to), and they place a great deal of importance on exer- cises to build up their speed. They live and breathe swim- ning. That constant hard work at the sport has paid off hand- somely for them, and it has shaken the complacency of the American coaches, who have heretofore had the good fortune to dominate international com- petition. Most coaches think it's a good thing that the Japanese came along when they did. It gives the American swimmers some time to take stock of themselves and real- ize that perhaps they aren't un- squad has held his own thus far. The Red and White have won one, lost one in their first two starts. * * BUT FACING Michigan they lack both speed and height. Frank Peticca at centeristhe tallest man on the Redskin squad and he is only 6'3". He faces 6'5" Leo Van- derKuy at the pivot post for the Wolverines. Coach Ernie McCoy will prob- ably take this opportunity to shift the Wolverines around. His main problem against Mich- igan State last Saturday was the fact he wasn't getting the punch from.the guard positions. He may shift Jim Skala from the forward post to guard teaming with "Lefty" Morrill who was high scorer in the victory over the Spartans. * * * THIS WOULD leave the road open to try Bob Olsen, 6'2" junior from Grosse Pointe, Michigan, at forward teamed with Mack Su- prunowicz. Besides these changes Michi- gan's strategy might slip from control ball to the fast break because of the edge in speed and height. In Brickel's first year at Ox- :ord, Ohio, he has drilled the Mi- ami team in fundamentals, and teamwork.
