re-Christmas game; Princeton,
-58, and Detroit, 93-68, in the
otor City Tournament victory;
nd Purdue, 82-75, in the Big Ten
pener.
Six Game Win Streak
The wins gave Michigan a six-
ime victory streak and brought
e season record to 7-1.
Michigan ran away from the
otor City tourney field by easy
lumphs, placing three men on
le all-star team, and getting a
easant surprise with the spark-
ng play of Lovell Farris at cen-
r.
Farris, Who never started a
ame before the tournament, was
amed to the all-tourney five
ong with Burton and George'
ee. Lee was voted most valuable
ayer.
Although only 6'3", Farris

regular. This has been a real boost
to an already high-scoring four-
some of John Tidwell, Burton,
Lee and Miller.
Tidwell High Scorer
Tidwell, a second-team all-star
at the tournament, was the high
scorer in both games, scoring 21
and 22 points respectively.
However, the climax of the va-
cation schedule came in last Sat-
urday's conference opener as the
Wolverines stunned Purdue with a
19-point halftime lead. The game
was played at Lafayette, Ind.
Purdue had been an 11-point
favorite and was rated along with
Northwestern and Michigan State
as the best of the Big Ten this
year.
Before the night was over, Pur-
due Coach Ray Eddy told the
Michigan team that its perform-
ance was the best he ever saw
against his quintet on the Purdue
court.

A small contingent of Michigan
trackmen got in their first licks at
competition this season in the
sixth annual Holiday Track Meet
sponsored by the University of
Chicago Track Club at the Uni-
versity of Chicago field house Dec.
27.
There was no team competition
in the meet as all runners com-
peted unattached.
"We weren't too well represent-
ed but those boys who made the
trip did very well, especially for
this "early in the season," said
coach Don Canham.
Robinson Stars
The highlight of the evening
was the 60-yd. dash which was
won by sophomore Tom Robinson,
who edged American Olympian Ira
Murchison by a step. Robinson's
time of 6.2 tied the meet record
held by Murchison.
Wolverine hurdler, Pete Stang-
er, set a record in the 60-yd. high
hurdles as his time of 7.5 erased
his own mark set the year before.
He finished third in the low
hurdles.
Landstrom Wins
Other Wolverine winners were
Eeles Landstrom who took the
pole vault with a leap of 14' and
Jack Steffes whose jump of 23'6"
was tops in the broad jump.
Sophomore Lester Bird twice
broad jumped over 24' but both
jumps were disqualified. He wound
up third credited with a leap of
22'6". In the shot put Ermin
Crownley took third.
Captain Mamon Gibson tied for
two seconds. He jumped 6'4" in
the high jump and managed to
clear 13'6" in the pole vault.
"Robinson and Stanger were
great," stated Canham. "Stanger
was tired before the low hurdle
finals. It was his sixth race in
eight hours and at this stage of
the season it's too much running.
"Tony Seth qualified in the 880,
but felt sick so he didn't run in
the finals. Bird made some great
leaps, but unfortunately he fouled.
Steffes turned in a fine perform-
ance.
The Wolverines' next engage-
ment will be in the Michigan AAU
meet which will be held in Yost
Field House Jan. 31.
