Maney, Fisher Return To Old Form
To Bolster Wolveries' Play
On Attek And Defense
Unless something unforeseen hap-
pens, the University of Wisconsin sex
tet, although having played but two
games against Conference opponents,
can be cited as the most likely cham-
pionship possibility in the Big Ten
for 1928.
The two games in which the Badgers
participated were those against the
University of Minnesota team and the
Gophers were badly defeated in one
game and tied in the second.
Minnesota, with six played out of
a tota of eight games on its Big Ten
.schedule is second in ranking to the
Wisconsin squad. Minnesota gained'
four victories over the University of
Michigan team, while the Badgers have
yet to meet the Wolverines 1n a
similar number of games.7
Conceded Little Chance
If the Wolverines can do something,
which on paper seems improbable,
that is, to beat Wisconsin, then the
Wisconsin supremacy, so apparent at
the present time, may be superseded
or equaled.
Michigan is out of the race, and the
final spurt toward the Big Ten ban-1
ner will be a matter of greater in-
terest and importance somewhere west
of Lake Michigan.
While Michigan has one of the slow-
est hockey aggregations in the race1
this year ever to represent the Wol-
verine institution, Wisconsin and Min-
nesota are at a peak of perfection sel-
dom attained by two teams in onet
year.
Race Differed Last Year '
Last year Minnesota had a good
team and Michigan had one likewiseE
and these two shared the first posi-1
tion in the final standings. Wiscon-
sin had little in 1927 and what it did
have was mostly green material; this
same green material, though, is the
stuff that Coach Farquhar has mould-
ed into a championship prospect.
Minnesota has most of its player's
of last year back again and in addi-
tion has a group of five sophomores
who are as good performers as any
of the veterans Coach Iverson, can call
on for duty.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 15.-Finishing
the , first half of its Conference
schedule just as it began-with a de-
feat, 4-0, the University of Michigan
hockey team was definitely put out
of the Big Ten title race by the Uni-
versity of Minnesota sextet when it
handed the Wolverines their fourth
defeat in the Conference.
The Gopher squad scored in each
of the three frames, Brown counting in
the first, Tuohy and Brown in the
second, and Hussey in thethird. Cap-
tain Conway was again the Gophers'
best man on the defense, while Brown,
with two scoring shots, was the of-
fensive star of the game.
Steve Jones, Michigan goal tender,
was bombarded with shots and in
discharging his duties was credited
with making 38 stops. Billings, Goph-
er goalie, made 18 stops.
Captain Bill Maney, Wolverine lead-
er, who has been playing a rather
slow game -of late, turned in an ex-
hibition last night that was charac-
teristic of hi play in the gaie's
against the Minnesota team at De-
troit. Fisher also showed up well on
the Wolverines' defensive line.

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Sammy
Baker, Army fighter, and Ace Hud-
kins, clawing boxer from Nebraska,
can settle the question of the rightful
claimant to a shot at Joe Dundee's
welterweight crown in Madison Square
Gardens tomorrow night, but only a
softening in the attitude of the N.Y.
Athletic commission can give either a
chanca for fistic glory.
Although 'Baltimore Joe' has been
signed s nce last November to defend
his title against the winner of tomor-
row's 10-round melee, the commission
has declared Dundee persona non
grata in this state until he clears up
his difficulties with California author-
ities. Dundee refused to go through
with a match against Hudkins in Los
Angeles last November, when his guar-
antee of $60,000 fell $37,000 short at
ring period.
The Nebraska Wildcat has fought
Baker twice. Last summer the Army
boxer cut Hudkin's left eye so badly
that their outdoor match here was
stopped in the seventh round and
Baker was awarded a technical knock-
out. Hudkins won a 10-round decision
in Los Angeles.
CALDWELL WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR NINE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW HAVEN, Feb. 15.-Bruce Cald-
well, football star, ineligible last fall
to be in Yale's lineups against Prince-
ton and Harvard because he played a
game while a freshman at Brown, will
wind up his college days this spring
as a varsity baseball player. He is a
senior.
The rule at Yale under which the
board of athletic control declared
Caldwell ineligible to represent Yale
on the gridiron is applicable speci-
fically as to the sport in which the
status of a player is questioned and
is not all-inclusive as regards other
sports. Caldwell was deemed in-
eligible in football, but his right to
play in any other sport is un-
questioned.

Recent drills held by the freshman
track squad, which has been working
out regularly since the beginning of
the second semester, have revealed
potential strength in nearly all of the
track and field events, according to
Coach Charles Hoyt, yearling mentor.
Only the pole vault and the high jump
are noticeably lacking in capable per-

Members of the freshman squad,
which numbers considerably more
than 100 candidates at the present
time, assembled Saturday afternoon
in the field house for an organization

Varsity Opposition
In anticipation of their struggle
with the undefeated Purdue quintet at
Lafayette next Monday night, Michi-
gan's cagers underwent their stiffest
drill of the week yesterday afternoon
at Yost field house when Coache>
Veenker and Kipke sent the squad
through a two-hour session.
Both offense and defense was at-
tended to by the two coaches, with the
"B" cagers offering the ofposition to
two fives composed of the Varsity
players. Harrigan, Oosterbaan, Chap-
man, Orwig, and McCoy represented
the .Varsity blues, while Raber, Rose,
Lovell, Barley, and Gawne lined up for
the Varsity greys.
These two teams alternated in the
passing and defensive drilling against
a picked "B" team made up of Kanitz,
Whittle, Magram, Myron, and Nyland.
Though the "B" defense is not com-
parable with the Purdue defense dis-
played here last Saturday and which
will be again set up against the Wol-
verines at Lafayette Monday, the
Varsity players broke through the
"B" defense with comparative ease.
A gratifying feature of the Var-
sity's offense was 'the work of Har-
rigan. The Wolverine captain, who
has but been a 'shadow of his former
self in the Conference games this
year, dribbled, weaved, and passed
through the guarding of the "B" cag-
ers with an effectiveness that was en-
gaging.
Barley, of the Varsity greys, was an-
other player who 'showed well offen-
sively again'st the "B" five. Time
after time Barley, a rugged player,
got past the "B" defen-se to take a
successful shot at the hoop.

Of Cmampionsili in l1,000

BOARD POSTPONES RACES
(lb Associated Press.)
ST. MORITZ, Feb. 15.-The United
States today lost in committee the
Olympic victory that virtually was
conceded yesterday by executive de-
cision in the 10,000 meters speed
skating event.
Twelve hours after the executive
commission of the International
Olympic committee had proclaimed
Irving .Jaffe of New York, the 10,000
meters champion, the International
Skating federation overturned the de-
cision, wiped yesterday's competition
off the bpoks, and ruled that the race
must be reskated.
The fact that most of the skaters
already have left St. Moritz apparent-
ly precludes any attempt to reskate
the race, leaving cancellation of the
event, as the probable eventual course.
The federation's action, generally
regarded as final, added one more
chapter to a short but vig'orous dis-
pute Wvhich began yesterday when an
official of the federation cancelled
the event in question because of un-
favorable weather conditions after
six of the contestants had completed
their heats.
Jaffe had made the best time and
was regarded as virtually certain to
win first place. Cancellation of the
race brought forth strenuous objec-
tions from Gustavus T. Kirby, official
American representative.
An appeal to the executive commis-
sion ended successfully for the United
States when Jaffe was recognized
champion. His reign was short-lived,
for the federation quickly overruled
the commission and declared the race
off.
7l
Beginning this week end, the fresh-
man will hold weekly time trials in
order .that the men may receive the
benefits of competitive work as well
as the daily routine drills.
Although no definite arrangements
have been made in regard to tele-
graphic meets as yet, the yearlingj
team will probably engage in several
engagements of this kind.
Coach Hoyt has a very promising
group of sprinters headed by Tolan,
a product fo Cass Tech high school
of Detroit. In addition to Tolan,
there are Cook and Murry, both
capable performers.
Next to the sprints, the yearling
team seems best fortified in the shot
put, the pre'sent group being the most
promising to report in recent years.
Marshall and Bator, the latter another
Detroit athlete, head the list in this
event.
In the half mile Bazely and Benson
appear to be the pick of the squad at
the present time. Toth and Austin
seem to be the most dependable of the

Gentlemen:
Recently I stopped in a little village
that consisted of about nine houses
and a small hotel, which I entered.
A little old man wearing a skull cap
was seated in a rocking-chair smoking
an enormous pipe. I had come to buy
a can of Edgeworth, but when I caught
a whiff of the tobacco he was smoking
I changed my mind. The aroma of
that tobacco was so delightful that I
made up my mind right then and there
that I wanted some of the same brand,
regardless of the cost.
I began with: "I beg your pardon,
sir, but I came in to buy a can of to-
bacco, and I would like the same brand
you are smoking if you don't mind
telling me." He looked at me for a
moment, grasped his pipe with one
hand and said: "I'm smoking Edge-
worth. Would you like some?"
Of course I did, and I secured a
supply from the old fellow. The joke,
of course. was on me. but I went on
