Coach Cliff Keen's chances o.,

a clean slate of wins, 22-8 and
21-15.1
Franklin and Marshall with, a
reputation of never being defeated
in three years of major competition
was the first abstacle in the Wol-
verine path. Five veterans from a
championship squad of last year
were in the F and M line-up, while
Coach Keen had to send a like
number of men into the meet who
were wearing the Michigan mat
uniform for the first time.
All Matches Hard Fought.
Yet the defending Big Nine chain-
pions were able to turn in an over-
whelming win over their opponents.I
Each match was hard fought, but
the Wolves were able to win all of
them but two, and in each an ex-
perienced man defeated a new one.
Princton scored more points
than did Franklin and Marshall,
three Tiger matmen pinning' their
opponents for a total of 15 points.y
The rest of the matches were all
Michigan, with two of them ending
with a Princeton man man on his
shoulders and another being for-
feited. The other two matches
were won rather handily by time-
decisions.,
Coach Keens 118 pounders suf-
fered rather badly in the trip, with
both Texeira and Alcinger losing to
their opponents by falls. Both
Princton and F and M were partic-t
ularly strong in this division how-
ever, with Bob Coleman and I~eit-f
rick filling the lightest position
on the teams for them.
Hewitt Continues Pace.
Captain Buddy Hewitt guarded
well his reputation of being one of
the best128 pounders in the coun-
try by accounting for a fall and an,
easy time decision during the trip.'
In the next higher weight a new
man Woodard disposed of two op-
ponents by the time decision route,!
thus gaining for himself first con-
sideration for a berth on the regu-I
lar team.
Benze also took two time deci-
sions from more experienced op- l
ponents. The stocky Wolverine 1481

Monday Night.
SHOOTING IS ERRATIC
Ignoring for the moment th"
poor exhibition of shooting itven
by the Wolverines in Monday
night's game against Illinois, Coach
Veenker started his practice sessidn
yesterday afternoon right where hl,
charges started slipping the worst
in the aforesaid game. With only
eight men in uniform. the entire
short workout was devoted to a
drill in strlling defense and offere.
Although last nights practice
session can not serve as a certain
indication of changes contemplat-
ed by Coach Veenker, Weiss was
working with Truskowski, Orwig,
and Lovell. The other team was
composed of Kanitz, Hudson, Darn-
iels, and Ricketts. Captain Chap-
man was not in uniform.
Ligaments Are Strained.
Downing who was hurt in the
opening minutes of play Monday
night is probably out of the game
for at least three weeks, with
strained knee ligaments thereby
creating another problem for Coach
Veenker. Downing was just begin-
ning to round back into the form
he displayed in his freshman year
and appeared to have won a per-
manent berth for himself at one
of. the guard positions.
Prior to the short workout, Coach
Veenker called the squad- into the
dressing room for a long skull prac-
tice where it is quite likely that he
pointed out some of the manners
in which the Wolverines were out-
smarted by the Indians.
Overwork is Watched.
Yesterday's workout was punctu-
ated frequently by short layoffs in
order to avoid overworking the
players who have had pretty steady
grinding since the Purdue game.
The Wolverines showed no im-
provement in their shooting yes-
terday and it is more than likely
that this particular department 4f
the game will ,gt considerable, at-
tention during the next few days.
