WATER SPORT PLANT
FOR MICHIGAN URGED

ANN ARBOR, Mich, January 1S.-
Erection of a great structure TO house
skating and swimming events at the
University of Michigan is suggested
by Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman
OF the board in control Of athletics.
The recommendation came q sur
prise generally. as it was commonly
understood about the campus that
the next major building activity
would be a stadium.
The structure proposed by Prof
Aigler would be fully as pretentious"
as the 100000 Yost Field House re-
Gently completed. Construction. how
ever. could not be started until an
Indebtedness of approximately $3.50
600 on the field house has been paid
which will probably be within the
next two years.
In his report, Prof. Aigler said:
IT deserves to be stated emphatically
that the athletic board has no stad-
lum construction plan, other than Is
involved In the completion of the
C-shaped stand at Ferry Field"
phases of the past athletic season,
Prof: Aigler said that "at least a
partial justification of foot ball. in
deed Of intercollegiate athletics gen.
orally, should be found In the les
sons taught In cooperation and
sportsmanship In its broadest sense"
He added that 1t has been hoped
that even spectators might gain some
benefits along these lines.
A sportsmanlike attitude toward
opponents. acceptance OF the author
ity of duly accredited officials and
times by spectators as we'll as con-
testants are vital to the continuance
Of friendly intercollegiate athletic
relationships, the report said.

G0PHERS HAVE GOOD
YEAR IN FOOT BALL

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, January 49,
The seven-game foot ball schedule
played by the University of Minnesota
last fall drew total attendance of
1S4,740 persons, and net receipts were
approximately S1S0,0O0. it was shown in
q statement made public today by AL
bert ]. Lobb. controller, and Conrad
Seitz. who had charge of ticket sales.
The Michigan and Wisconsin games,
played away from home. drew the larg-
est crowds, because at both OF these in
stitutions the seating facilities are
greater than at Minnesota
Lobb announced that of the receipts
$4,000 has been set aside in certif-
Gates OF deposit, to be used to meet
the expenses Of building parts of the
new Minnesota Stadium other than the
actual seating oval.
On this list will be included the
dressing, shower and locker rooms TO,
both the home and visiting teams and
the construction of the stadium ap.

George Washington is not expected
70 have much of q chance against the
Georgetown team tomorrow, even
though the latter is not anything like
the strong Hilltop outfits of recent
seasons. The Hatchetites have not
set won a game this year and SO rar
have not indicated 4 Likelihood OF
success In competition. Until George
Washington gets its regulars-row
inelieible-into its lineup. 1t will not
make much headway in basket ball.
~Nor is Georgetown such power
ful team. It's play in the game with
st. Joseph's last Saturday was unim-
pressive and unless the Hilltoppers
show some improvement in passing
and defense they are not going to
find this season as pleasant as recent
campaigns were for Blue ald Gray
basketers. However. they ought to be
masters Of the situation when George
Washington is encountered.
GEORGETOWN probably will open
play tomorrow night with Federici
and McNaney at forwards, Okeefe at
center and Ryan and carney at
guards. George Washington expects
to use Klopsch and Woerner. for
wards; Brown, center, and Reynolds
and Dowd, guards.
, some good goal shooting by Dutch
Eberts on follow-up shots helped
Catholic University considerably In
its basket ball contest with Lafayette
last night. The Eastonians were de-
feated. "a to IS. and Eberts con-
rributed ten points to his teams
total with quintet Of field goals.
The Brooklanders In the early part
OF the fray frequently broke through
to within shooting distance only to
miss the basket with easy throws.
Lafayette, too, was weak In this re-
.spect all the way, but Catholic Uni
versity eventually found its shooting
eye. and went into fair lead shortly
after the second half opened.
In additi>n to Eberts. Breslin
played a most creditable game for
tho victors. Duffy kept the EaSton-
1ans in the running.
TrAckmen of Georgetown University
ARE to strive for laurels tomorrow
might In the big Fordham University
games in New York, and have more
than an even chance to score points.
The men are well advanced as a re-
suit of outdor training on the board
track at the Hilltop, and in some: of
the veterans Improvement over last
years form has been noted. George
town Is especially concerned about
its relay team which is TO compete
with other big eastern universities II
q mile event, but it will have entries
in several other events.

milers of the country, is to race, but

last year. and can compete only rs All

the teams success is attributed to the
coaching of Harvey Ingley.
The Company + quint has lost so

been scored over such teams as the
Quincys OF Washington. The locals
are being backed to the limit by the

For correct dribbling the bal.
must bounce in front OF the player
and at comfortable distance away
from the body. The player must
not bounce the bali so close that It
becomes awkward to handle or
strikes the feet and bounds away.
Equally important is the fact that
the ball must not bounce too far
away from the body, because then
there is danger OF its getting out
OF reach and being Captured" by
the opponents. Practice will deter
mine where the, most comfortable
distance is, and, having determined
this, the ball should be struck Will,
the open hand, held in a firm, but
not rigid manner The force with
which to strike the ball should be
such that it will cause it to rise from
the floor about waist high. To sum
UP. correct dribbling is obtained by
bouncing the ball at comfortable
position slightly in front and to the
side of the body. Strike firmly with
the open hand and keep an eye on
the ball when dribbling.
