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.
