County basketball fans got
their share of thrills last night as
two games ended in one-point
margins of victory while in an
other tilt, the league leader piled
up 50-point total.
At Romeo, Coach Dan Barna-
bo's boys lost q heart-breaker,
21-20, to Oxford. 1t was the third
game the Peachmen have lost by
a narrow margin.
Behind 90 at the half, the
Romeo quintet crept ahead to a
1915 lead and then to q 20-19
margin with 20 seconds left to
play. The time was too long,
however, as Bud Lemon dribbled
down the side of the floor and
lifted in a one-hander. John
LIGHT topped the Romeo scorers
with eight points.
In the south end of the county,
East Detroit's team suffered q
similar defeat, losing to Lincoln
Park, 1922, in game on the
latter's floor. Other south coun-
ty games, in the Bi-County
league, saw Lakeshore's fast,
league-leading team coast to q
50-26 victory over Busch despite
the fact that Coach Carleton
Worden used large number Of
substitutes. In other loop game,
Eastland smacked Lakeviews's

Full Powers
EnobIed to Name
Coaching Personnel

ANN AHBOR, MICH, Jan. 81
-R)-The University of Michi-
gan reorganized its athletic set
up today and placed in the hands
of H. o. (Fritz) Crisler, athletic
director and football coach, vir-
tually full power to hire all
coaching personnel.
With the approval of the
Board of Regents, the institu-
tons governing body, the old
board in control of physical edu-
cation was replaced by an inter-
collegiate athletics board with
Crisler as director.
Crisler, a University of Chica-
60 graduate who came here in
1888 from Princeton to take over
the football coaching duties and
who succeeded to the athletic di-
rectorship upon the retirement
of Fielding H. hurry Up) Yost,
will name all varsity coaches.
His choices will be subject on
ly to the approval of the Board
and its administrative commit
tee, a step considered mostly a
fOrmality.
SUCCEEDS AIGLER
In assuming dictatorship of
the new board, Crisler succeeds
Prof. Ralph w. Aigler, chairman
on the old board and the Uni
versity's delegate on the Western
Conference faculty committee.
The intercollegiate board, COM
prising faculty members, stu
dents and alumni, also will select
the Big Ten delegate, an appoint
ment which must be confirmed
by the University Council.
Announcement of the reorgan-
ization was made in the annual
athletic report which disclosed
that cash balance of more than
100000 realized in the fiscal
year from July l, 1910 to June
80, 194l, had been set aside to
weather unpredictablc sports
conditions which may arise dur
ing the wars duration.
FOOTBALL PAYS
From money standpoint.
football was the only paying
proposition, the report said, &C
counting for $345, $3.50 of $474, 282
in total receipts. Total athletic
expenditures were $278,962 with
football disbursements alone
amounting to $3.50,
The report said that, until the
war emergency arose, it had been
the intention to reduce bonded
Indebtedness of the athletic
plant, now $3.50, 900 as compared
with 81, 166,OO0 in 1898, Crisler's
first year as coach, by another
100000"
In four years, the bonded in
debtedness has been reduced by
$4,000, including the retire
mcnt of $75O,00O in so-called

cal year covered by the report.
The report reiterated a stapd
against the use of Freshmen in
intercollegiate competition.
