Not since the Indiana game, when they triumphed over the Hoosiers by dint of a closing rally, have the Wol- verines performed so superbly on the offense as they did against the Wild- cats. Exactly 19 field goals were reg- i'stered by the Wolverines, and it made almost no difference from where they were shooting. Field goals were made immediately underneath the basket, from within the foul circle, from the sides, and from the far reaches of'the court. Bennie Oosterbaan was doubtessly the greatest force in that Michigan avalanche which buried the Wildcats under the veritable landslide of field goals. The star Maize and Blue for- ward counted nine times from the field and thrice from the foul line to secure a total number of 21 point's and the scoring honors of the game. And in order not to make his scor- ing proclivities monotonous, Bennie used a variety of methods in register- ing the nine baskets. His first shot was an ordinary, conventional shot, and after that he tipped one in, tossed another through the iron, one handed, and lobbed in 'still another one. Oosterbaan, incidentally, is now en- trenched in second position among the leading scorers of the Western Con- ference, being only three points be- yond Murphy, the elongated Purdue string bean. While there has been a tendency among the leaders in Big Ten scoring to selfishly boast their own marks, there has been no persist- ent or determined efforts on Ooster- baan's part to play selfishly or to take as many attempts at the bakset as he possibly can secure. The passing of the Wolverines was probably the best exhibited by them this year.

MARVIN STEVENS" NEW ELI FOOTBALL COACH NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 27.- Marvin A. (Mal) Stevens, Yale 1925, of Osborne, Kans., was appointed head coach of the Yale football team for next season at aameeting of the Board of Control of Yale university athletic association here today. Stevens suc- ceeds Tad Jones who resigned at the end of the 1927 season. The new Eli coach played on the Yale championship team of 1923 and has acted as assistant coach under I Jones for the past four years. IN MlSaOURI VALLEY, Oklahoma Five Has 17 Straight Wins In Contrast With Big Ten And Eastern Cage Leaders DARTMOUTH,_PENN TIED While in the Big Ten there looms the shadow of an approaching dead- lock for honors, the Missouri Valley race has resolved itself into nothing more or less than the proverbial "walkaway" now that Oklahoma pos- sesses an unbroken string of 17 con- secutive victories. Led by }the brilliant center star, Victor Holt, who has already tallied 203 points, there is not even the mathematical possibility that the Sooners be overhauled. Missouri and the Oklahoma Aggies, however, are continuing to battle it out foir runnerup laurels, with the former having a half-game advantage in the race. Oklahoma Aggies are credited with 9 wins in 14 starts. Kansas, Kansas Aggies, and Wash- ington trail in the order named. Out in the Intercollegiate league a situation som-ewhat resembling that in the Western Conference is found. T~here Dartmouth, defending cham- pions, and Pennsylvania, impending champions, stand tied at five games won and two lost. Penn only recently invaded the Big Green gymnasium to snatch a 30-29 triumph in an overtime encounter. Though the team title is still de- cidedly in doubt, it is practically con- ceded that Joey Schaaf, Penn star, who added 13 poinits to his grand to- tal against f Dartmouth, will be( crowned king of the individual scor- ers. Schaaf is credited with 83 points in seven games, with only two weeks of campaigning to retain his 28 point lead over Heep of Dartmouth. event.

Chances for points in the half mile were given a setback, when Leonard, veteran 880 man, was declared ineli- gible last week. This narrows Michi- gan's field of experienced half milers to a single man, Lomont.

With the retirement of Jack Demp- sey it is quite likely that each of the two winners will obtain a match with the champion providing that they make a fairly impressive showing in defeating their opponents. Delaney had a very good record un- til his downfall at the hands of Mal- oney but appears to be back in old time form again. Heeny has to his credit a draw against Jack Sharkey although the critics were of the opin- ion that the Boston sailor should have won the decision. li 1 .. a . p TWO~ JlCa n 5160p l ,I IOWA CITY.---Oak Park captured+ the Iowa indoor interscholastic tracks meet here with 44 points.
