MICHIGANHAS IMPROVED
After last night's battle with Mar-
quette, the strongest hockey team'
on the Wolverine schedule, the
Michigan puckmen will continue
their trip to Madison where they
will play a two-game series with
the brilliant Conference leading!
Badgers Monday and Tuesday.
In their first Big Ten tilt Wis-
consin rose to inspired heights to
split its series with the Gophers,!
last year's champions, who were ex-
pected to repeat again this season.-
This victory came in the form of
an upset of the dope inasmuch as
Wisconsin has bowed twice before
the flashy Marquette sextet while'
the Gophers had managed to splitj
their double header with the Mil-
waukee team.
New Men Help
The gloom overshadowing Michi- E
gan's chances in the two games
with Wisconsin was dispelled a
great deal by the showing of the'
Wolverines in their two matches
this semester in which a revamped!
lineup seemed to have added 50 per
cent to the offensive power of the
team.
Both Michigan and Wisconsin
fell before the, clever play of the
Marquette team by about the same'
margins. It seems quite likely, in
view of the improved playing of
the Wolverines, that the outcome
of the matches tomorrow and Tues-
day nights may depend upon the
respective aggressiveness of the two
sextets, and the Badgers played a
type of game discribed as "furious"
to win from the last year's cham-'
pions.
Frisch Is Star
Wisconsin boasts one of the mostl
spectacular goal tenders in the
country in collegiate circles, in
Frisch who stopped 36 shots from
the sticks of the Gophers. His'
work alone saved the scalps of the.
Wisconsin sextet during the final
period of their game when the
Gophers resorted to an offensive
game and drove shot after shot at
Frisch.

NURMI, WIDE TO FEATURE
Inaugurating the indoor track
season, a squad of Wolverine run-
ners will compete in the Michigan
A. A. U. championships at the
Olympia, Detroit, next Wednesday
night. Coach Stephen A. Farrell
has entered a team of ten men to
compete, with the possibility of
two more contestants.
The Detroit meet, which is under
the auspices of the Cadillac Ath-
letic club, will feature the appear-
ance of Paavo Nurmi, the phantom
Finn, and Edvin Wide, the flying
Swedish schoolmaster. The races
in which these two international
stars will compete have not been
announced.
