There is a generous of more-or-less expericnced reserves in the squad from which Cann must fashion his team. Among these is Irwin Witty, a speedy youth who, at times, has given promise of greatness.

HOOP SEASON O0PENS DEC, 21 Varsity Five Meets Michi- gan, Then Goes South to Los Angeles SEATTLE, Dec. 15.—Attempting to equal the brilliant record set by last year's basketball team, the University of Washington varsity hoopmen will open their intercol- legiate competition in a three-game series against the University of Michigan, December 21, 22 and 23, ’ in Seattle. | Only three men are missing year from the 1936 team that won the Northwest championship, and finished highest among the college fives in the Olympic Games try- outs at New York. The Michigan- series is just a starter, however, for Coach Hec Edmundson has lined up the tough- est pre-season schedule in history. Following the Michigan games, the team will journey to Los An- geles, where they one game with the Hol jwuod Ul.m win- ne:ss of last year's Olympic Games tryouts in New York. The pre-sea- son games will be concluded with an elimination tournament against Ohio State, Southern California and University of California at Los An- geles, which will also be held in Los Angeles. The first team line-up, at pres- ent, is composed of Dick Voelker, this ~'center, Chuck Wagner and Ed Lov- erich, and forwards, Bob Egge, and Jack Gannon guards. Of this 'team, all are veterans except Voelk- sophomore up from last year's Ifrosh squad. Wagner was moved to center in lan early experiment, but Coach |Edmundson has decided that the jall-Coast forward will be of more value at forward. Voelker and Gannon are being pressed hard for their jobs by an ambitious group including Jack Lowe, George Ziegenfuss, Bob Reese, Walt Kastner, Pat Dorsey, Hunt Paterson, and Ross Werner. | o i i LOUIS WINS HIS BOUT IN 21 SECONDS Eddie Simms of Cleveland Knocked Qut in Short Time CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 15— Joe Louis, the brown bomber, knocked out Eddie Simms, of Cleve- land, last night in the first round by a single punch. The time was 27 seconds after the opening of the round. Simms rushed out of his corner at the sound of the gong and aim- ed a left jab at Louis’s midsection, that was short. Louis shot a left and the jaw, then larruped a the point of Simms’ chin.

Added to this was an influx of tourists that brought about a mod- est building boom. Devaluation of the franc has in- creased the cost of living 40 per cent, and with it came discontinu- ance -of passenger service by the one direct line to America and So stringent are condi- tions that authorities have had to step in to prevent profiteering.
