Is the INDIANA AND PURDUE ONLY UNDEFEATED BIG TEN TEAMS1 Upsets in the Big Ten basketball race featured the week end games between the Conference fives. The biggest surprise was the easy man- ner in which Michigan disposed of' Northwestern at Evanston. The Pur- ple team was touted highly, having defeated the fast Wisconsin aggrega- tion, and with the advantage of its own floor was favored to win or at least put up a close game. Mather Rebuilds Team Mather's reconstructed team with Dunne at center and LeGalley at guard won for the Wolverines before the largest crowd that has ever wit- nessed a game in Patton gymnasium. Clever floor work coupled with abili- ty to hit the basket were the big factors in Michigan's 30 to 15 vic- tory. No less surprising was the defeat of Illinois at the hands of the Badg- ers by the score of 23 to 18. Wiscon- sin started the year favored to finish among the top but since the initial setback by Northwestern the Wiscon- sin team has not displayed the speed credited to it in early reports. Illi- nois, on the other hand, opened the season without Carney at center and with a new coach. Starting the year with these handicaps the Indian five handed the highly rated Maroons a defeat and displayed enough skill to make them worthy of consideration. Against Wisconsin, Illinois put up a close game but could not overcome the Badgers. Chicago Is Strong Chicago's defeat of Iowa by a 42 to 12 score justifies the rating given the Midway five earlier in the year. Voll- mer, Crisler and' Birkhoff are three of the cleverest men in the Conference. Vollmer'sdeadly long shots, Crisler's guarding and Birkhoff's floor work and work under the basket make the Maroon team formidable. Iowa by its defeat now occupies the cellar posi- tion with three defeats out of as many games. Purdue continued to set its pace and keep in the 1000 percentage col- umn by defeating Ohio State 40 to 23. The Boilermakers have evidently hit their stride and appear to have a pow- erful scoring five. Indiana and Purdue are the only undefeated teams in the Big Ten. In- diana by virtue of its four victories heads the list followed by Purdue. The question of supremacy will be settled Friday when the Hoosiers meet Purdue at Lafayette. SWIMMERS GO TO CINCY FOR MEET It is- with high hopes for victory in both meets which face them that the Wolverine swimming team will en- train on Friday morning for Cincin- nati, where they will meet the Uni- versity of Cincinnati that evening and oppose the Cincy Y. M. C. A. on Sat- urday, Jan. 28. Despite the fact that the collegiate team of the Ohio city pis one of the fastest non-Conference aggregations in the Middle West Coach Drulardpis optimistic. The men will be in the best condition possible under the circumstances and there is every probability that Michigan will emerge from the tank on the long end of the score in the opening encounter. On Thursday evening at '7:30 o'clock the Varsity tank squad, with the ad- dition of a few freshmen, will per- form for the benefit of the women's classes in swimming now being con- ducted by the Y. M. C. A. There will be exhibitions of every conceivable style of swimming and diving and a big crowd is expected to be on hand. Physical Director Nelson of the City Y. expects nearly all members of his women's classes to turn out. HOCKEY TEAM LEAES FOR HOUGHTON GAMES LACK OF PRACTICE MAKES OUT- COME OF SERIES UNCERTAIN Manager Fletcher and seven mem- bers of the Michigan informal hockey team will leave for Houghton at 1:23 o'clock this afternoon, where they will meet the Michigan College -of Mines sextet in a two game series Jan. 27 and 28. Barkell, Hosking, Cannon, Follis, MacDuff, Kahn, and Comb are the men who will represent the University against the up-state team. Due to the short time in which the men have been able to practice for these games the feeling in the local camp is one of uncertainty, the strength of the opposition is an un- known quantity and even taking into consideration the game with the De- troit Rayls last week, the Wolverines are practically untried this season. The combination play in last week's encounter was woefully weak and as there has been no ice since that game there has been no opportunity to rem- edy this fault, the members of the squad have been doing indoor work in the gymnasium since the last game and it is to be expected that their physical condition, which was the oth- er outstanding flaw last week, will be materially improvedwhen they go on the ice Thursday night. Practically the same line-up that' started the Rayl tilt will be used against the Miners, Barkell at cen- ter, Hosking and Follis will alternate at right wing, Cannon at left wing, Kahn and MacDuff defense and Comb in the net. This is the strongest com- bination that Michigan can advance i since the loss of Captain Kerr, ruled ineligible, from the forward line. Barkell is expected to do a giant share of the offensive work from his posi- tion at center, while Kahn and Mac- Duff on defense will have their time well taken up by the opposing for- wards who are said to be a set of fast skaters and accurate passers. Comb will make his second appearance in the line-up Thursday night.
