IE FIVES COMMENCE
E CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT
Title
other favorites for laurels, will
do
By Herbert Vedder
Michigan, basketball champion of
the Western Conference for the past
two years, will open the defense of her
title tonight in Bartlett gymnasium at
Evanston to inaugurate the 1928 Big
Ten cage strife with highly rated
Northwestern, co-occupant of the Con-
ference cellar last year, as a feared
opponent.: This game is tonight's
leading attraction in the basketball
world and° a complete sell-out is re-
ported.
In the early season dope it was
Michigan who was the team the other
Conference fives figured they had to
beat to win while Purdue and North-
western were others figuring promi-
nently in the "dope."
Wo verines Lack Drive
Today the situation is somewhat
altered. Northwestern, as a result of
her win over Notre Dame after losing
to that tear' earlier, is ranked as a
real contender for a Big Ten title
with a combination that seems to be
traveling at top speed. The Wolver-
ines, on the other hand, have not yet
hit their stride for more than a few
minutes at a time. Although the
Purple lost to Pitt, the Wolverines
did likewise. Further, they lost a
contest to Penn and put up a rather
ragged exhibition against Bradley.
So far the Wolverines have lacked
drive and "pep," and Coach Veenker
plans to shake up his lineup a bit
for tonight's game, sending in Danny
Rose at guard to replace- the veteran
Ernie McCoy, who has been a bit off
form this season.
The insertion of Rose is expected
to speed up the Michigan quintet for
the diminutive player ranks as either
a guard or forward and is a fast floor
man. With Rose in the lineup some
of the burden of bringing the ball
down the floor will be taken off Cap-
tain Harrigan's shoulders.
Nine -Men Flake Trip
No other changes in the opening
battle front are expected, but Dick
Gawne will undoubtedly be given an
opportunity at forward part of the
time.'
In addition to the starting quintet,
Captain Harrigan, Oosterbaan, Raber,
Chapman and Rose, Coaches Veenker
and Kipke named McCoy, Gawne,
Lovell and Nyland to leave last night
on thb first Conference trip, which
wilirtaiy ' 6 esnb' 'gaifiatthe
Badgers on Monday as well as against
the Wildcats tonight.
Thus far the Wolverines have dis-
played all that might be asked in the
way of scoring points with 162 in four
games. But the defense has been
woefully weak in spots, opponents
making 141 points or only 21 less than
the Wolverines.
Against the Wildcats tonight, it
would appear that Michigan will need
a real defense to stop such men as
Captain Fisher and his two 'great
sophomore team mates, Walter and
Marshall. If a stop is not found for
these men, the Wolverines will have
plenty of trouble outscoring the Wild-
cats.
Northwestern has had the advan-
tage of playing a regular quintet,
Fisher an'd Gleichman at forwards,
Walter, center, and Johnsos and Mar-
shall, guards:. These are the men who
will face Michigan tonight, while
Rush, forward, and Mehler, guard, are
likely substitutes.

campus championship wrestling tour-
nament were run off last night in the
field house in unusually quic:. time,
no less than 18 of the 20 bor , be-
ing determined by falls. All of the
1927 title holders who are entered in
the meet survived the first round of
competition.
The competitionwas especially spir-
ited in the 125, 135, 145, and 158
pound divisions, two rounds of pre-
liminaries being necessary in nearly
all of these' classes in order to nar-
row the field of contestants down to
the semi-final quota. The 115, 175,
and unlimited divisions attracted
fewer entries.
Hewitt Goes To Finals
In the single bout in the 115 pound
class, Hewitt, freshman star of the
1927 team and holder of the State
amateur title in this class, experienc-
ed little difficulty in pinning Hills.
his freshman opponent in 3:15 By his
victory Hewitt won his way to the
final round where he will meet Ru-
bin, AMA winner.
Thomas, 125 pound title holder last
year and state amateur champion, an-
nexed both of his preliminary :bouts
in impressive style, pinning Swan-
ston in 3:10 and McGillard in 3:00.
Stanchfield won the right to meet
Thomas in the semi-finals by gaining
a decision over Schumaker with a
4:45 advantage. In the other brack-
et Kailes, AMA winner, gained a fall
over Larson in 2:45 and Cranage
Ithrew Boyd in 4:00.
135 Bouts Prove Fast
The 135 pound bouts proved to be
among the most interesting on the
program. Dulude, last year's cham-
pion, threw both of his opponents in
the shortest bouts of the evening.
Anderson was pinned in :45, while
Mabius was thrown in :50. Beach won
from Shilling by a fall in 1:40 to
reach the semi-finals in the same
bracket.
In the other bracket Elliott de-
feated Moyer, his freshman opponent
by a fallyin 2:40, while Finley ad-
vanced by gaining a decision over
Spencer and a fall from Kayser in
2:15.

Purdue, with Cummins, Wheeler,
Wilson, Wilcox, and Kemmer, all vet-
erans from last; season's second place
quintet, presents a formidable array
of talent. Added to these is the most
highly advertised sophomore start,
"Stretch" Murphy, the six foot two
inch center who earned all-state lau-
rels on the great Marion prep five
two years back.
Illinois, despite the ability of Coach
Craig Ruby and four veterans, Dorn,
Olson, Lindsay, and Stewart, is grant-
ed little chance of upsetting the Boil-
ermakers. However, whatever advan-
tage Purdue has over the Indians
seems trifling when the terrific sched-
ule of Coach Ward Lambert's pupils
is conveyed. Michigan, Indiana, Wis-
consin, Iowa, and Minnesota are all
included on the Purdue program.

that Giesen is six feet six inches tall
and weighs about 165 pounds.
Freshman hockey will probably be-
gin within the next week, and this lad
Giesen and others will be taken under
Coach Lowrey's wing for grooming for
later Varsity competition.

Northwestern will play its initial Big Ten court game under its new
coach, Arthur (Dutch) Lonborg, tonight. Lonborg comes to the Evanston
school with a great record as cage mentor at Washburn college of Topeka,
Kansas. Captain Waldo Fisher, star forward, is the floor leader of the
Purple team. He is also a great football player, being named by many
sport critics as an all-Conference end.

Cards Depend On
Veteran Pitchers
(By Associated Press)
S'T. LOUIS, Jan. 6-Cardinal pen.
nant prospects depend largely on the
ability of players who were injuref
or suffered a slump last season to,
return to the form which took, them
to a world's championship in 1926.
With exception of Rogers Hornsby,
traded to the Giants,, and Billy
Southworth, sent to manage Syracusc
virtually all the championship team;
will report to the training camp this
spring.
The only trade this winter was one
which sent Pitcher Jimmy Ring and
Catcher Johnny Schulte to the Phils
in return for Shortstop Jimmy Coo-
ney, Outfielder John Mokan anc
Catcher Clarence Jonnard.
Manager Bill McKechnie will have
a trustworthy pitching staff headed
by Grover Cleveland Alexander, her#
of the 1926 series, Jesse Haines and
Willie Sherdel. He also will have
Fred Frankhouse, who won six gain-
es in seven starts last fall,
