W r I CONFERENCE COURT OPENS TONIGHT Wisconsin Faces Michigan in Contest, at Waterman Gymnasium CrucialI BADGERS SLIGHT FAVORITES DESPITE DEFEAT BY PURPLE Michigan opehs her 1921 basketball season at 7:30 o'clock tonight, Wis- consin furnishing the opposition. With a successful preliminary trip and contests out of the way, eight vic- tories having been scored over strong Michigan and Southerp quintets, the Wolverine court prospects look better than last year. Lineup Ready From Miller, Whitlock, and Captain Karpus, Mather will pick his two for- wards, and he has practically decided on Weiss for center and Rea and Wil- liams for guards. "Duke" Dunne is not yet in. condition to get into the game. Having defeated the strong Mar- quette college team of Milwaukee which on a Southern journey beat the Ramblers of Louisville and Vander- bilt University by more decisive scores than did Michigan, Wisconsin comes to Ann Arbor with a slight edge of the dope despite the fact that they play on a foreign floor. The Badgers are stilr considered a formidable five even after their defeat by Northwest- ern, and the sport critics count them as serious contenders for Big Ten honors. Badgers Strong With Weston and Knapp, star play- ers, on the injured list in the North- western contest, it is doubtful if these two compete here tonight, but in Wil- liams and Caesar at guards, Fogner and Fanning, centers, and Taylor and Williams for forwards Coach Mean- well has a combination which Mather believes will be difficult to beat. The Badger mentor's known ability for turning out victorious quintets makes the Michigan team expect a hard bat- tle. For 45, minutes last night Coach Mather sent his men through a light workout. The scrimmage of a half hour Thursday night was thought by the coach to be sufficient, and hie lim- ited the last drill to caging baskets and shooting free throws, pivoting spinning, and other fundamentals The eligibility of the men was also passed upon. Win Needed Considering a victory ini this con test essential to keeping up the mor ale of the team and the students Coach Mather impressed upon his mer the necessity, of Finning the first Con ference battle. From all appearance the present squad is a stronger on than that of last season, which scorei one victory over the Badgers afte losing the first game. Coming directly from Madison wit: no other games on this trip Wiscon sin's five will be in good conditior The Badgers were expected in lat last night or early this morning Hedges of Iowa will be the refere and MacCulloch of Springfield Train ing school will act as umpire. Hoppe Exhibits Billiard Skill' Billiard enthusiasts at Michigan have a great treat in store with the coming of Willie Hoppe and Charles: Peterson to the Union for exhibition matches on the afternoon and evening of Jan. 18. The billiard committee of the Union has attracted champions to Ann Arbor and the student body will have an opportunity to witness in ac- tion the two greatest cut artists now living. Willie Hoppe, the world's balk line champion, needs no introduction. He is the greatest champion of his sport that has ever lived and has held his title longer than any other man has held a title in any other sport. For 16 years he has been the undisputed master of the game. His record is nothing less than phenomenal. Charles Peterson, Hoppe's touring partner, holds the world's fancy shot; championship. In his chosen line he is just as great as Hoppe. The fan- cy shots which this artist makes, his artistry with the balls, touch upon the uncanny. In both afternoon and evening Peterson will play an exhibi- tion match with Hoppe, in addition to which he will also give his fancy shot exhibition. He is a billiard authority and lecturer as well as a cue expert. To accommodate the numbers who will be anxious to witness the two ex- hibitions the games will be held in the Union reading room, directly across from the billiard room. An amphitea- ter will be erected for the occasion and all seats will be reserved. Be- cause of the limited number of seats, tickets should be obtained at an early date.
