The Wisconsin team has a record T ,j W insI which stamps them as a formidable Braden W Ins opponent for Michigan. Michigan Tech suffered two defeats at their 880 Trials And lands while Michigan broke even with the Miners. 'Ir . -L Michigan swimmers will have to better every one of the times they made when they trimmed North- western two weeks ago if they hope to repeat their victory here Friday night. Northwestern swimming team, when they overwhelmed the Illinois' natators last Saturday night in a dual meet, gave the Wolverines plenty to think about, when they won five events in times better than the Wolverines had made at Evanston. Horn, Lemak To Meet Horn repeated his 2:31 for the 200 breast stroke, setting a mark for Louis Lemak to shoot at if he intends to gain revenge on Friday night. Captain Highland swam a beautiful 100 in .52:4, bettering Bill Renner's time of .54 for the distance. Renner took the event at Evanston but Highland's evident improvement has Coach Matt Mann worried. Captain Schmieler, Michigan's iron horse paragon of versatility who will swim in the backstroke event as well as the two relays, will have the time of his life trying to repeat his vic- tory over Hahn who negotiated the distance in 1:42 during the Illinois meet. Journeying to Chicago this week- end for two meets in as many nights, the Michigan wrestling team will' wind up the dual meet season, con- cluding a seven match schedule that has been one of the most difficult in Maize-and-Blue grappling history. Northwestern will be met in Pat- ton Gymnasium Friday night, and Chicago at the Bartlett Gymnasium on Saturday. Chicago has won three meets this year, losing toNorthwest- ern and tying Illinois. Illinois is also the only team to have defeated the Wildcats. Turners, 12-5 Beats Detroit . Thomas, you've done. , This isn't much fun.

He had prom- ised to split up the band into two divisions of about 25 or 30 students each, and shelve some of the "old war horses" in favor of new tunes. s But the important thing is that, while these changes were slated for the Indiana and Purdue games, Sat- urday and next Monday, Falcone put through temporary changes imme- diately, without notice so to speak. The playing at the Minnesota game drew round after round of ap- plause from the spectators which, unless our memory errs, was the first spontaneous appreciation that the crowd had given the band this year. But just wait until the Indiana and Purdue games. The advancement made for the Gopher game, Was only a beginning step in the program that is arranged for the next two games. "THEY CALL it basketball, but I call it love," sang one wit after he left the Minnesota basketball game last Monday night. Michigan fans certainly received an unfavorable comparison between the two hockey matches with Minne- sota and the last two home basket- ball games with Chicago and Minne- sota. The edge was all in favor of the former. Thrills, speeding figures, lucky shots, flashing uniforms, cool crisp atmosphere (where they smoke incidentally), were characteristics of the ice matches. The basketball games, on the other hand, were slow, dragged out affairs, with only seconds of speed and thrills as compared with hockey's minutes of them. In the last game, Ed Garner, got the jump at center, for one of the few times this year, but even then his toes were less than 12 inches off the floor. The three-second rule concerning pivot shots has not been enforced strictly in any game on Michigan's floor this year, yet it was enforced even less Monday night. Lifting of the pivot foot, and carrying the ball were frequent uncalled fortoffenses made by, members of both teams. Oliver is rated as a slow basket- ball player. So we especially watched him during the game to see if his slowness really hurt his team. His man did not get away for dog shots and generally his lack of speed did not hinder him or Michigan. Team Arrives Today Marquette also defeated the Uni- versity of Wisconsin sextet in their ;wo games. Further information as to their strength will be available after their arrival today. Michigan went through the bitter- ness of three defeats from Minnesota and came back on Saturday night with a bang to end the Vikings' un- broken string of 11 victories. The Wolverines found themselves after. the crushing defeat of 5-2 on Fri- day night, although many expected them. to break down and let the Gophers sweep the series easily. Sherf's period of ineligibility ap- parently did nothing to aid his game, and it may be expected that he will return to first' semester form during the contest, while Reid has sur- mounted two injuries to improve with each contest. Crossman is vastly im- proved over first semester, and David's game seems more effective in each succeeding contest.: Chapman, Gabler Strong Chapman and Gabler put up a de- fense which must be reckoned with. The high score of the Friday game may not be. ascribed to their ineffi- ciency as defensemen, but rather to hockey tactics which demand a con- certed onslaught during the final period by the teamdwhich is behind despite the fact that asn'far as the score is concerned, the move is dan- gerous. Jewell, in consequence, cannot be blamed for his failure to protect the goal without benefit of defensemen, and the final period was merely un- fortunate for the Wolves in that their tactics in surrounding the opposing } net were unsuccessful to an aston- ishing degree. With the Maize and Blue display- ing the form they flashed Saturday night, the outcome of the two con- tests should not admit a great deal of doubt, but with an off night simi- lar to that of the second Wisconsin game Marquette would be assured of winning the contest.

Meet s Howard Braden won the half-mile trials yesterday afternoon in the time of 1:58.4 to garner a place on the two-mile relay and assure for himself a position on the squad which will travel to Urbana Saturday for the triangular meet with Illinois and Ohio State. Freeze followed Braden to the tape in a race- in which Rod Howell, Baze- ly and McManus also competed. The time was much better than expected and came as a surprise to Coach Hoyt. More good news is that Tom El- lerby, -quarter-miler, who placed in the Conference meet last year, is showing'steady-improvement. A knee injury kept him out.of the A. A. U. meet last week. Indications are that he will. be fourth man on Michigan's mile relay team consisting of De- baker, Allen, and Turner. The- triangular meet Saturday is something different in regard to the number and kind of events. There will be no 440 or 880 yard runs, as the mile and two-mile relays make it impossible. Events other than re- lays are the pole vault, shot put, high jump, 60-yard dash, and the high and low hurdles, probably at 65 yards. In order to show in the Conference meet the following Saturday, Michi- gan must take both of her opponents into camp. Indiana, Michigan's out- standing foe, has defeated both Illi- nois and Ohio State by close to 20 points. I Seek Medley Mark Michigan's time of 3:05 for the medley relay, set by Schmieler, Le- mak and Renner, appears to be good, since the best that Horn, Highland and Hahn could do was 3:06. With Schmieler's backstroke improving every day it is quite possible that the Wolverine will clip seconds off the dual meet mark in this event. Dave Kennedy seems almost cer- tain to retain his supremacy in the 220-yard free style event since his 2:21.9 easily tops Troup's best time of 2:24. Schmieler has been forced to desert his first love, the 220, to replace Drysdale in the backstroke. Relays Will Be Close The 400-yard relay promises to furnish the biggest thrill of the eve- ning. In Marcus, Kamienski, Renner, Kennedy, and Schmieler, Mann should find a combination of four men who can give the Wildcats plenty of competition, although the latter team swam the distance in 3:38 in their meet with Illini. The Wolverines' time was 3:41 in the Northwestern meet. Mann announced yesterday that reserved seat tickets for the meet will go on sale today at Harry Tillotson's office in the Administration Building. Reserved seats will be 40 cents while general admission is 25 cents. Nine to Make Trip Nine men will make the trip, leav- ing Ann Arbor by automobile, Thurs- day, and staying at the hotel Winde- mere. The group will return on Sun- day. Captain Blair Thomas, fully recov- ered from an attack of influenza which has hampered his work throughout the season, will make the trip and will wrestle at least one match at 135-pounds, his natural weight. With Thomas' return Joe Oakley will drop back to his regular post at 126-pounds. Jimmy Landrum, 118, Art Mosier, 155, Ed Wilson, 165, and John Spoden, heavyweight, seem sureties. The other two places at 145 and 175-pounds, remain doubtful. Odevseff May Wrestle Alex Odevseff may get his chance at the heavier weight. Louis Parker, essentially a 165-pounder, and Har- vey Bauss, who have done the wres- tling at 175-pounds, so far have failed to win ca point. A similar situation exists at 145 pounds. Don Lewis, Saul Freedman, and Captain Blair Thomas, the latter wrestling out of his class, have all competed without a point being scored. Lewis, Freedman, or Bill Paine will get the call at 145 for the two meets. The ninth man to be taken will be Seymour Rubin, reserve 126 and 135-pounder. Rubin is State A. A. U. titleholder in the former group. Winning its -fifth consecutive meet of the year, the Michigan fencing team beat the Detroit Turnverein Fencing team Monday evening at Detroit 12 to 5. Despite the fact that Jimmy De- Stefano, star sabre man of the squad and one of the best in the state, was not able to appear because of a bad attack of influenza, his place was ably taken by H. Maas, a foil man. Captain Jerry Winig and H. Maas were outstanding for the Wolverines and Caswell appeared the most for the Turners. Winig Substitutes To Winig goes the most praise for his excellent showing. Although not regularly used in the foils, he plug- ging up the hole made by Sellar's departure from the squad two weeks ago, won two out of his three bouts in the foils, and later won two epee matches with little effort. Leverenz was the outstanding man on the De- troit squad, winning two of his three foil contests and his only sabre match. Meyer, of the Wolverines kept up the good fencing that has charac- terized him all season, and won all three of his foil bouts. Nahrgang Wins Two Wally Buhl made his second ap- pearance of the year and showed vast improvement over his showing last week in the University of De- troit meet by taking one of his sabre matches and losing the other by'the close score of 5 to 4 to Leverenz. Nahrgang returned to the lineup as an epee man, winning both of his bouts. Nahrgang's position had for- merly been held by Merriman, who had displaced him from it earlier in the season, but, in the matches to determine the contestant before the meet, won outnand regained his ace. Spring Practice To Develop 1934 Hockey Prospect As the end of the varsity hockc season nears, interest iii the materi that will be available from tl Freshman squad for next year is it creasing, Although the loss of Tomi kins as goalie this year serious hampered the team in its conferen games, the combination used i Coach Eddie Lowrey presents a hie standard for next year's team meet. At present the freshman squ: consists of: goalies, Schroeder ar Tarbox; defense, C. Hoyt. Etchellk Sullivan; forwards, David, Levy, 01 derdonk, King. During the remaini: two weeks of varsity practice t frosh will work out nightly. with system being worked out in the se ond week whereby the varsity a: first-year men will combine in pra tice. This combined practice will a tempt to get possible working cor binations for next year and will co tinue two nights a week during t third and fourth weeks from nc before the season halt is called. "I don't believe Michigan will ev find as good a pair of hockey pla ers as Emmy Reid and Keith Cro: man," said Coach Lowrey yesterd; "In fact," he said, "although Dav and Levy are the best prospects the plebe squad, neither they r anyone else now playing will ever able to fill Reid's shoes if they 1 to be 110; years old." Intramural Relays Take Place Tonight Eleven independent and 20 frater- nity teams will be entered in the In- tramural relays to be held this eve- ning at 7:30 in Yost Field House. Every team will consist of four men, each running 220 yards or one lap of the Field House track. Theta Delta Chi won the event last year among the fraternities and the Humpty Dumpties took the In- dependent title. Both teams will be represented by strong quartets again this evening. I 3aseball Squad Will Report For Work Today Women's Golf Coach L i i With the breath of spring in the air, the baseball squad starts its training for the coming season. Coach Ray Fisher has called the men out for their first practice this after- noon. The batteries have been work- ing out for the past few days but only, to limber up their arms. The outlook for the coming season is bright except for a seeming dearth of catchers. There are only two on the prospective list so far and the chances of any more are none too good. The ineligibility of one of the regular catchers from the last year's frosh squad and the absence of two more from school this semester have seriously handicapped Coach Fisher in his building a good team for this year. SSTAEB &DAY ! ^ i ir +"' i Loses Her TitleI After defeating the British golf champion, Diana Fishwick, in the semi-finals, Mrs. Stewart Hanley, of Detroit, lost the final match to Frances Williams in the South At- lantic women's golf tourney at Or- mond Beach, Florida. After trailing the champion most of the way, Mrs. Hanley squared the match on the 14th hole, and again on the 17th. On the last Mrs. Hanley laid Miss Williams a half-stymie, but the latter was able to stroke the ball accurately, and it trickled into the cup. Last year while she was in Mich- igan, Mrs. Hanley offered her serv- ices to the University, and taught the women's golf classes through both the outdoor seasons. -IT RUSSIAN PIANI ST i f t When a Bargain Is Really A Bargain!
