With its chances of making the race for Conference hockey honors a close one depending upon the out- come of tonight's and tomorrow's games, the Michigan puck team will invade Minneapolis tonight to battle Minnesota, traditional rivals of many years standing, who are also depending upon the results of the two Michigan battles to keep them in the running for the title. Both Seek Win. Although neither of the sextets has yet won a"Conference game, both of them are-strong enough to make the winner of these setoes al dangerous opponent to the league leading Wisconsin club, who al- ready have three games chalked up on the right side of the ledger. Michigan has dropped two clashes to the Badgers, while Minnesota also lost to Coach "Spike" Carl- son's team in the only game play- ed as yet between the two clubs. This series will mark the Wolver- ine's last appearance on a Confer- ference rink other than the Colise- um this year, as all of the remain- der of Michigan's games will be a played in Ann Arbor with the ex- ception of a single clash at East Lansing against Michigan State next Tuesday. Nine men made the trip to Min- neapolis and it appearsmore than likely that the same combination that has started for the Wolverines all year will be on the ice again to- night when the opening whistle sounds. Stationed at the defense posts in front of goalie Jack Tomp- kins will be Bill Williams and Tom Prouse, - while wings Enmy Reid and Tommy Courtis will team with center Keith Crossman to form the forward trio. Captain Art Schland- erer, Harold Sindles, and Charles Hildner will constitute the Michi- gan reserve squad, and each of them will undoubtedly see plenty of service while the regulars get a chance to rest. Gophers Strong.

Taking' another set -back from, Dame Fortune in the matter of losing two men in the face of the meet with the Spartans next Saturday, the Wolverine matmen nevertheless went through a stren- uous drill last night and are con- fident that they will not have any trouble with the grapplers from ul- state. Auer is out for a time that may string out until the end of the sea- son with his injured arm, and though it shows signs of impro ;e- ment he may not be able to go to the mat before the last bouts on the schedule. Parker, the flashy little 155-pounder who showed so much promise in his first fight against West Virginia, wrenched his shoulder Tuesday in the practice session and he is reported unfit for the bout with the Spartans. These tough breaks coming when they did just before the last pre- conference meet, when every man on the squad needed the extra training under fire before the team started after the Big Ten title, nay shift the lineup a good doal, but Keen's grapplers should not have much trouble in flooring the team from Michigan State. Otto, one of the regulars who has been out with an injury most of the season, will again be in the ring at 126 pounds Saturday and he is welcomed as the one good break that the Wolves have had.
