WEISS GETS SIX POINTS (Special to he aily) EVANSTON, Ill., Jan. 1 0.-Michi gain's hopes for a Western Confer-- ence basketball championship were temporarily dimmed when North- western's powerful quintet swept to a 27-22 win over the Wolverines in the Patten gymnasium here tonight. A capacity crowd witnessed a last- minute rally by the Wolverines fall short of the necessary margin for victory. Weiss- scored first blood when he sank a difficult side court shot shortly after the game opened. Reif tallied for Northwestern immedi- ately after and drew two free throws when Williamson fouled him on the shot, one of which he made good. The half ended with North- western leading 11-8. Cats Increase Lead. An avalanche of baskets by the Wildcats while holding Michigan to three throws from the penalty stripe increased their lead to 22 to 11 in the first part of the second half. Reiff with two baskets and Capt. Riel with the same numberl were the main factors in the scor-1 ing spree. Long shots by Altenhof, Weiss, and Shaw brought the score up to 27 to 22 when the gun blew ending the game. Northwestern outplayed Michigan completely in the second half using a fast breaking offense and an equally fast forming defense. The Wolverines 1 o s t many possible points when long shots time after time would rim the hoop, without going in. Faulty passing under- neath their opponents basket also resulted in the loss of potential points. McCarnes Star. McCarnes was easily the out- standing man on the floor, being a constant threat on offense as well as outstanding on defense. He ac- complished what no other oppos- ing player has been able to do, namely holding Daniels to one field goal. Reiff and Smith of the Wild- cats shared scoring honors for the evening, each counting eight points. Weiss with three field goals to his credit led the Wolverine scorers. Altenhof played a sensational game i at guard, holding Capt. Riel to two field goals during the game. He repeatedly worked the ball into scoring position by flashy dribb- ling only to have a team mat los:: it. {MICHIGAN TO HAVE HELD BY PURPLEM IN SPORTS AGAI [RTiVscI.oCsC, n" CI ('Game Features rA h>t Irogrlm, Wisconsin, here. -Omio stae, thee f-cktey. t Firiday Wiscoinsin, there-.

After a first half in which they did not show much ability to handle the ball or score, the Junior Varsity basketball team staged a comeback that resulted in a victory over Coach Ray Fisher's freshman squad yesterday afternoon. The final score was 17 to 12 in favor of Court- right's men, although the yearlings were in the lead at the half with an 8 to 2 tally. As is the usual procedure in such games, the coaches shifted their players around to get practically every man available into the line- ups before the final whistle. The 'B' quintet was not altered as much or as often as the freshman squad was, but 16 men in all had a chance to work with the respective teams.

'l:e Badger coach has been sending his charges through stiff otensive drills this past week in order to add strength and aid to an already recognized excellent defense. The bugbear of Wisconsin basketball this year has been that of being forced to compete as a group of miniature cagers with no one large man to step in to match opposing giants. On Saturday the Wolverines will journey to Columbus where they are scheduled to meet the hard- wood aggregation of Ohio State.

Opening the 1931 wrestling sea- son with a 29 to 5 win over the highly touted West Virginia team last night the Wolverine grapplers took the wraps off what looks to be one of the most dangerous con- 'tenders for the Conference title. Coach Keen's crew of matmen showed a great improvement both in condition and knowledge over the type of fights that they gave the Ypsi team early in the season. Varsity Shows Confidence. From the start it was apparent that 'he Wolves had the advantage of better condition and they carried the brunt of the offensive in every bout, to win four by falls and three with lengthy time decisions, drop- ping'only one bout to the invaders from the East. Keen's men seemed to show more speed and confidence in the ring than most grapplers display in their opening meets though for several it was the first taste of competition. Opening the card Sigwart at 118 pounds won a fall for the Wolves from Herod in the fast time of 5:29. Sigwart drew his man to the mat and took the advantage for several minutes before he turned him over and pinned him. Next came the only loss for the Maize and Blue when Aldinger at 126 was outclassed by Fletcher and was pinned after a struggle of about nine minutes. Benz Bout Is Feature. Joe Woodard in the 135 pound class won a hard fought match from the Easterner Wotring by a time decision of 7:15. Woodard got the advantage early in the bout and after the ropes had saved Wot- ering several times from falls he was content to ride to a decision. Benz of Michigan at 145 won the feature bout of tht card when he busted Hondo to the mat five times and then pinned him in the time of 6:05. Parker added three points to the Wolves' score when he' won a time decision of 7:03 from Schwartzwal- (Continued on Page 7) I Michigan FG FT Eveland rf ............1 1 - Petrie rf ...............0 0 Weisslf..............3 0 Downing l.t...........1 0 Daniels c ..............1 3 Altenhof rg ...........1 1 Williamson lg .........0 0 Shaw Ig..............1 1 Total Nor Riel rf ......
