From the PRESS BOX By John Thomas Policy Support Kerber Ineligible 37 Sport Events Auto Athletes WIMMING COACH, Oxygen Mann, without being asked, gave his un- jualified approval of our recent irade against Conference hockey fflicials-specially at Minnesota. Mann makes hockey his second ove, and lets nothing except a swim- ping tourney interfere with his see- ng a Wolverine game. He said 'Hockey is steadily increasing in pub- ic appeal and may some day oust >asketball. It can only do this if he rowdyism now prevalent, is topped and if good, responsible off- ials are employed." Oxygen Mann continued, "It is argely the fault of the officials that uch conditions exist. There is just is much bodily contact and as many lose decisions in football as there ire in hockey, while at the same ime, there is no fighting in the for- ner and plenty of it in the latter. the boys think that they have to ight just because the professional ockey players do."

Kerber swam unattached in a N. C. A. A. U. meet in Chicagof last Saturday night while . the rest of last semester's swimming team participated under the name, "North- western." His loss will compensate in part for Drysdale's ineligibility. They would have met in the Evanston pool tomorrow night when the two schools swim. Michigan will have an easy time with Chicago the next night. * *.* THE AUTO ATHLETES of Michi- gan, nine car-weary wrestlers, re- turned to Ann Arbor, barely able to say that they "brought 'em back aline." Two cars, containing the nine grapplers braved the sub-zero weath- er to drive East to take two beatings from Penn State and the Navy on successive nights. In addition to the bitter pill of defeat, the boys drove from 1 a. m. to 7 p. in. in order to arrive in An- napolis in time to meet the Midship- men. A howling blizzard complicated matters. Of the men who made the trip, only Harvey Bauss and Captain Blair Thomas didn't take turns at the wheel. Bauss used the excuse that it was too cold for him although he is from Buffalo, the wind-swept town of Lake Erie fame. Parker, Landrum, Mosier, Helliwell, Wilson, Oakley, Spoden, and Coach Keen, all took their turns at the wheel. From a secret source we found out that one of the cars was wrecked twice on the trip, not seriously either time. Two wheels spelled the damage in the second collision.
