STODDARD ENDS
MAT CAREER IN
BIG TEN MEET
By John S. Townsend.
Cliff Stoddard, one of Michigan's
greatest wrestlers and athletes, will
soon draw his collegiate career on
the mat to a close. During his
three years under the eye of Coach
Cliff Keen he has become one of
the country's outstanding heavy-
weight grapplers.
Tlie big heavyweight has had a
good season with which to termin-
ate his career. Meeting some of the
best collegiate wrestlers in the
coutry, he has battled them on
fairly even terms, either winning,
drawing or losing by only a small
advantage.E
The familiar boast that the state
of Indiana is the home of super-
basketball quintets was adequately
borne out this season by the con-
vincing victory of Purdue's mighty;
machine in the Western Confer-1I
ence race.-
Not only did the Boilermakers
pile up an impresive total of 465
points for the twelve games, an
average of 39 points per game, but
Johnny Wooden, All - American
guard, established a new, individual
scoring record by ringing up a to-
tal of 154 points to lead his near-
est competitor, Captain Normn Dan-.
iels of Michigan by 34 points. The
new record is sev- :

Wooden's final 'college contest

ionship teams that wish to go
through the season undefeated,
followed the Wolves with seven vic-

the Indians kept the Wildcats
from having an undefeated sea-

feat in twelve games. This year,
they repeated by defeating the
Boilermakers, 28 to 21 in the only
loss suffered by the 1932 champs.

verines in the final game, 30 to 27,

Postponement of the All-Campus
boxing semi-finals originally sched-

yesterday afternoon by Coach Phil-
bin. The semi-finals of the tour-
ney are now set for a week from
tonight. on Wednesday, the 16th.
Several causes led 'to the post-
ponement. Many of the contest-
ahts,% according to Coach Philbin,
are down with flu, and many others
are out of shape due to their slow
convalescence from the illness.
Taking into consideration the fact'
that forfeited matches in the elim-
ination rounds would not tend to
bring the competition to a success-
ful conclusion, it was decided to
give the contestants an additional
week to regain full health and box-
ing form before the finals.
Sickness among the staff in con-
trol of the tournament was another
contributing factor in the post-,
ponement. ' Several have fallen.

running of the elimination matches
has also been retarded due to this.

In the Indiana meet last
Saturday Cliff fought Bob
Jones, National A. A. U. title
holder, to a draw, and against
Northwestern's Jack Riley, Big
Ten champion, he was just
barely nosed out.
The filling of Stoddard's place
will be one of Keen's biggest jobs
next year as Cliff is not only an
outstanding matman but also one
of the hardest workers on th4
squad.
In the approaching Big Ten
championships a t Bloomingtqn,
Stoddard is rated as one of the
most formidable challengers for
Riley's crown.
Stoddard weighs over 190
pounds and although this is a
goodly poundage for any man,
he is at a distinct disadvant-
age in wrestling some ofn his
contemporaries who tip the
scales at well over 200.m
The Wolverine mat star will be]
sorely missed by his teammates, as.
he is one of the best liked mem-
bers of thesquad as well as a lead-
ing grappler.

FOR INALMEET,
Improved, Showing of Michigan
Tracksters Boosts Hope
for Big Ten Crown.
Greatly encouraged by the show-
ing of hischarges in last Satur-
day's triangular meet, varsity track
coach, Chuck Hoyt, is priming his
men for the most important event
of the winter season, the Big Tep
indoor meet, scheduled for Chicago
March 11-12.
Although the' showing of the
Wolverines has been highly impres-
sive in all of the early tests, it must
be remembered that there is' a
great array of track and field tal-
ent sprinkled around in the var-
ious schools.;
As far as Northwestern, Chicago,,
Purdue and Wisconsin are concern-
ed, they can be read off the list of
contenders for the team title. Iowa
Ohio State, and Minnesota, as,
teams, are also only mediocre.
However, Indiana and Illinois are
still to be reckoned with before the
tit e can be awarded to Michigan
for the second successive year.
At this time Renwick and Russell
are the only two Wolverines who
can be depended upon to capture
first places in their respective
events. Turner, and .either Moisio
or Jusek, havebetter than outside
chances to finish out in front as
well.

The spring session this year
bears added significance because of
the severity of next fall's schedule.
The Wolverines will be called upon
to face Michigan State, Northwes-
tern, and Ohio on the first three
Saturdays.
Because of this fact, Kipke will
have to know what men can be de-
pended upon to fill the vacancies
left in his 1931 championship team
through graduation. He must re-
build his line from tackle to tackle,
and at the same time, find two cap-
able backs to take the places of
Hudson and Hewitt.
Present plans call for three eve-
ning drills a week until the weath-
er man permits the squad to be
taken outdoors,
Among the men Kipke is depend-
ing upon to bolster up the weak
spots are Willis Ward,uRuss Oliver,
pKowalik, Cantrill, Oehmann, Mar-
covsky, Wistert, Purdum, Damm,
Cox, Schmidt, Westover, Renner,
