PUSHES VARSITY IN FIN AL PREPARATION Minnesota Pucksters Defeat Lowrymen At Minneapolis I-- DETROIT TO BE IN FACES HAWKS TONIGHT FINAL PLAY - OFFS After spending the first two prac- tice sessions in developing a de- fense for Hawkeye formations, Coach Veenker shifted his plans and finished the week's preparation for the Iowa tilt with a long drill on offense during yesterday after- noon's workout. The Wolverine defense has been uniformly good, and the Varsity h1as had less average points scored against it than aly other team n 'the Conference, but the Michi- garn quintet has shown a sad lapse from its early season basket shoot- }ng ability in the last few tilts. Practice Basket Shooting Captain McCoy, Chapman, Orwig, Truskowski, Rose, and Kanitz, started the workout with an hour's basket shooting under the dirc-1 tion of Coaclies Veenker and Oostcr- baan. Both long aid short shots came in for attention, as missed tosses from near the hoop cost the Wolverines the Northwestern and Illinois contests. T heiattention paid to the devel- opment of the Wolverines' eyes for the basket was topped off with an- other long drill on foul shooting. Chapman appeared the most con- sistent performer from the free] thrown line but all the men show- ed the result of the last four day's work on gratis tosses. Orwig, Kanitz, Alternate A short scrimmage with the first freshman five climaxed the work- out, the Varsity taking the offen- sive against Danielsand Weiss, forwards, Jones, center, and O'Neill and Crouch, guards. For the Varsity Rose and Captain Mc- Coy were again at the guard posts, Chapman at center, and Truskow- ski at left forward, while Kanitz and Orwig alternated at the other forward position. The Wolverines' passing attack] appeared to have regained its old time snap, and with Orwig, Trus- kowski and Chapman on the re- ceiving end of triple and quad- ruple passes, the Varsity pene-] trated the yearling defense to drop in many dog shots. Rose again assumed the floor guard duties, taking the ball down to feed it to the forwards on fast breaks. Cap- tain McCoy dropped several long tries through the hoop. Following the Varsity drill, the Varsity reserves defeated the year- ~ lings; 9-5, in a short scrimmage. With Balsamo and Whittle at for- wards, Lovell at center, and Cush- iug and Barley at guards, the Re- serves refused to be cowed by the presence of Coach Oosterbaan at' one of the opposing guard posi tions, and held the yearlings to wto tallies from the field. RELAY TRIALS TODAY Ti me trials this afternoon in the field house in the 440 yard run will determine the Wolverines who will snake the trip to Lansing March 2 to compete in the annual Michi- gan Statei relay carnival, according to Coach Farrell. The track team will follow its usual program of Saturday trials in all events, with the exception of the field entrants who competed yesterday.

Detroit Cougars will be in the Stanley Cup play-offs this year, for the first time since Detroit has had a team in the National Hockey league. Their position in the play -for the cup, emblematic of the1 professional hockey championship of North America, was determined l here last night, when they defeat-' ed the New York Rangers for thel first time this season, 1 to 0, while the New York Americans were de- feating the Pittsburgh Pirates, 31 to 2. The Cougars' victory was doublyl pleasing to them, placing them in the play-off and giving them a' decision over the Rangers,present1 holders of the Stanley cup. t was a well-earned victory and gave the Cougars a record of four victories, two ties and two defeats in the last eight games. For the first thirty-four minutes' of play, its appeared that the Rang-] ers were trying for a scoreless tie. They played a strong defensive game and the Cougars matched them at this style of play. Then came the break that brought thel Cougar victory. Herbie Lewis beat' two Rangers to the puck back of the Ranger net and passed to Car- son Cooper, who drove the puck under the arm of John Ross Roach for the only goal of the game. FUMBLED BALL WILLBE DEAD' (By Associated Press) The foot ball rule change, making a fumbled ball dead at the spot re- covered by a defensive team,, will take from the smaller "underdog" teams their last chance to upset{ bigger schools on the gridiron, in the opinion of Coach Glenn This-. tlethwaite, Wisconsin foot ball mentor, who addressed the Kiwanis, club at Saginaw, Thurhday. Thistlethwaite likewise is not much in favor of the rule changing the position for the point-after- touch-down play from the three-, yard line to the two yard line. Thistlethwaite does not think the change will materially change the method of procedure for the extra point, to which he had been per- sistently opposed. The extra point should be abolished, he thinks, as it puts too much value on one play. He believes that teams will con- tinue to kick for the point when they need it badly. Thistlethwaite expects to have another good team %t Wisconsin next year. His prmin- cipal losses will be Capt. Wagner, all-Conference tackle, and quarter- back "Bo" Cuisinier. Northwestern and Michigan had the best Freshmen squads in the Big Ten last fall and consequently will have the best new material next fall, in Thistlethwaite's opin- ion. - I o ----- READY FOR iAWKEYES The Spartan Fencers' Club of Michigan State College willj hold a state wide foil tourna- ment, Saturday, March 23, be- ginning at 10 a. in.

Champions Gophers SHEA MICHIGAN SCORER Displaying a fast and unrelent- ing attack, Minnesota's title-seek- ing hockey team defeated the Wol- verine sextet Thursday night by a score of 5-1 in a game played on the Minnesota ice and replete with thrills and spills. The first period of the battle was rather slow and uninteresting, each team cautiously feeling out the other in order to make the lat- ter period attacks more effective. Only one goal was made during this time 'by either team, McCabe of Minnesota, sinking a long one after 13 minutes and 24 seconds of play. The flashy Gopher took the rebound after one of Peterson. hard trys and shot the puck past Grace, Michigan goal keeper. Gophers Control Puck Up to this time the play had been about even, but from this point on, the men from the. north began to keep control of the puck for longer periods of time. Their belated attack, however, failed to realize during the first frame, but unleashed itself with all the fury' of a northern blizzard'in the sec- ond, netting three goals. When this period was but a few minutes old,, Conway, Minnesota spare, accomplished one of the prettiest plays of the battle, taking the puck from behind the Wolver- ine goal and skating around the net to sink the second counter of the game unassisted. Owen Scores Again After this spectacular shot there followed almost ten minutes of hard, play, until Owen took a, pass E from Peterson to count again for the Gophers. While this score lacked the spectacular nature of its predecessor, it came as the re- suit of good hockey and hard skat- ing. The scoring for the period was completed a 'few minutes late when Tilton pushed a fast one past Grace.
