SAYS F, 6. MENKE
Green Team With Great Of.
fensive Strength Starts
1915 as Veteran Eleven of
Promise.
BY FRANK G. MENkE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Michigan
eleven suffered more defeats in 1914
than 1t has suffered in any single sea-
son since Hurry Up Yost took
charge back in 1901 At the same
time, the 1914 Wolverines scored more
points than has any maize and blue
team since that of 1905.
This record seems to show that the
Michigan defense this year was weak
and that its offensive strength was
great. Which Is just about the stu
alton. Michigan's offensive strength,
however, was made up very largely
Of a fellow nameo Maulbetsch. The
whirlwind halfback score about half
of Michigan's points, and by his great
plunges carried the ball to points
where the other players could take it
over. Maulbetsch proved himself to
be the greatest single scoring power
that Michigan has had since Willie
Heston quit footballing.
Michigan's 1915 outlook Is extreme
ly rosy The Wolverines lose only
three regulars through graduation:
Raynsford. center, Hughitt, quarter
back. and McHale, guard. Michigan
started the 1914 season with "green"
team. The team did not show up very
we'll, but the players got the needed
experience. It enters 1914 as a vet
eran team, and Michigan ought to
make Just about as large noise next
season as It used to make back in the
dear, old days that are gone but not

Hoover-Bonds and 'Y' Lay
Plans to Capture Two
State Titles-High Shows
Improvement.

Basket ball win receive better sup
port this winter than for some years
past With two teams the Hoover
Bonds and Y. M. c. A. starting out in
championship form fans are backing
them to take whatever comes their
way
The Hoover-Bond Is a new team but
by name only. as included In the per-
sonnel are old players familiar to the
fans. Mel Penny, manager of this
five. is determined to annex the in
dependent championship OF the stste.
With that in view the players them
selves are giving Mel their best work
at all times, practicing with the Earl
ham squad of tossers every week in a
hard and conscientious manner on the
Earlham floor
So far Penny's boys have been hav-
ing a rather easy time wi h the Quak-
ers across the river but now that foot
ball Is over Logan, Lancaster and the
rest Of the boys will be out in full
force to avenge the earlier defeats. No
matter who the winners are in these
practicing affairs the work will be
beneficial to both teams Seasoned
and experienced players practicing
among themselves is far better than
working the ball up and down the
floor with no one opposing the
progress.
~" Starts Well.
The Y. NJ. G. A. team coached by
Physical Director Roach and captain
ed by Spot Schepman, the old high
school star, who played guard on the
team that made such a gallant fight
for the high school championship of
the state a few years back has started
out what promises to be as good a
year If not better than last season.
They have defeated all teams played
this season with comparative ease,
wining over such teams as the Con-
nersville B. NJ. A. c., the Holy Grails
Of Anderson and the kokOmo "Y". All
these games showed that the local
team has worked up fast and strong
attack and an equally strong defense.
In Laning Roach has probably the
most accurate goal shooter who has
ever played the game in Richmond.
Besides Laning there are Jones and
Parker who have the knack Of looping
the ball when the team needs points.
The high school team although not
getting away in a winning style has
finally come to earth and is playing
an improved game. Getting started
was what the high needed. With the
addition Of Brown at the forward
position for their opponents.
