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seems improbable, that is, to beat Wisconsin, then the Wisconsin supremacy, so apparent at the present time, may be superseded or equaled.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. The Michigan squad of 11 players, Coach Lowrey, and Manager Tillman, (Continued on Page Seven) - HIJUDKINS, BAKER BOX TOMORROW Neii York (CommIssion Interferes With ilundee s Fighting Winner For E hlamionship, However' (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.

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. NEW YORK, N. Y. - Burliegh Grimes of the Giants has been trad- ed to the Pirates for pitcher, Vic Aldridge. Jaffe, New York Skater, Is Deprived Of Cmampionsili in l1,000 Meters Competition 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 milers. i i i i i i i squad are ineligible as only gymna- a 49-28 count. sium students can compete.

Va., March 4, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co., Richmond, Va. 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 INTERWOVEN AND OTHER WOOL HOSE FLANNELETTE PAJAMAS PIGSKIN AND OTHER GLOVES. NECKWEAR-All Cut Silk Fancy Patterns. ROBES-Entire Stock.
