THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Meet Hawkeyes With Lineup Unchanged To Open Big Ten Season; Skaters Meet Tech Small Squad Of * * 12 Makes Trip STT By ART p s CARSTENST To Minnesota __ARsTENs Michigan, Led By Captain W/HEN AN EASTERN sports writer admits that a Big Ten team is "good" Smith And Willis Ward, that's news. For that reason we reprint here a piece composed by Edward J. Neil, columnist for the Associated Press: Is Heavily Favored Led by Captain Harvey Smith and Willis Ward, a 12-man Wolverine track squad will open its Conference indoor season tonight with Minnesota at Minneapolis. Michigan, Big Ten champions in- doors, will be top-heavy favorites tos take the measure of the Gophers des- pite the small squad, the Minnesota narmpresenting outstanding per- formers in but two or three events after being hard hit by ineligibility in the first term. Ward has been named by Coach Charlie Hoyt to enter three events. the 60-yard dash, high hurdles, and shot put. He will not be entered in his favorite event, .the high jump, with Konrad Moisio, a letter winner, being counted on to register points there. The Wolverine captain, Harvey Smith, hasbeen named for the half- Imile and mile runs. The outstanding track event of the meet is expected to be the meeting in the two-mile run of Wayne Sloc- um, Gopher sophomore, and Neree Alix, Michigan's two-mile indoor Conference champion, and Walter I Stone, Wolverine sophomore who has been credited with victories over Alix. The Gophers will present a tradi- tionally strong entry in the shot put, but Ward is expected to place with Domic Krezowski and Stan Kostka, the Minnesota weight stars. The meet will be the first Con- ference experience for the six sopho- mores who made the trip, including Sam Stoller in the dash event, Bob Osgood in the hurdles and relay, Howard Davidson and Fred Stiles, relay and quarter-mile run, Clayton Brelsford, half-mile and mile, and Stone. The squad and the nominations made by Coach Hoyt:60-yard dash, Ward and Stoller; high hurdles, Ward and Osgood; quarter-mile, Harvey Patton and Davidson or Stiles; half- mile, Smith and Brelsford; mile, Smith and Brelsford; shot put, Ward; high jump, Moisio; pole vault, Dave Hunn; mile relay, Osgood, Davidson, Stiles, and Patton. i FOR A GOOD MANY YEARS now we've been hearing glowing reports of this thing called "Indiana basketball." Occasionally it has got a wee bit annoying, too. After all, there are 47 other states full of able-bodied, full-blooded young athletes who must know something about the rather rudimentary routine of tossing a ball through a ring.c But I am a tolerant sort of fellow -- broad-minded and all that - so when Purdue came into Madison Square Garden the other evening your dutiful observer was around to try and find out what made all native Hoosiersf so "that way" about the basketball they were brought up on. I found out. Yessir, the boys have something there. Ward "Piggy" Lambert, a wizened little fellow who's getting almost completely gray in spite of the fact his Boilermakers have won three Big Ten titles in the last five years - and seven in the last 14 - brought a squad1 of 100 per cent Hoosier home-breds into the Garden and they did their stuff in most rollicking and crowd-pleasing style. "We're just down here to try and show the folks some high-geared basketball," Piggy said just as his boys stepped on the court. "Maybe the1 folks won't think it's any better than the metropolitan style of set offenses, but I think they'll enjoy it." XWHEREUPON the Boilermakers- went into action with a flurry of fast breaks, long dribbling drives under the basket, nifty long-range shoot- ing and beautiful follow-up work under the hoop that had the crowdx "ohing" and "ahing" continually and left Fordham's untalented but hard- fighting team far behind at halftime, 29-15. It was pretty obvious that the visitors knew they weren't going to have any trouble winning this game and they were out to put on just as enter- taining a show as possible. They blazed away from any and all distances and positions and hit the hoop with amazing accuracy. They hauled off and slung that basketball just as far as they could, several times, gleefully trying to score on ultra-long-pass plays - and sev- eral times they did click, with Norm Cotton leaping into the air to snare passes after the manner of a football end, and then flashing under the basket to score. Whenever and wherever they got the ball, the Boilermakers "went for the bucket" with it, as the Hoosier saying goes. Practically never did they wait around in back court until the other team's defense had formed, and then come "tunking" the ball up the floor, as is too much the pattern of' most cage games nowadays. In other words it was the "fast break" game at its best, and for crowd pleasing it's got this systematized, slow-break, criss cross passing and block play style beaten 40 ways from Sunday. Of course, I understand the Boilermakers aren't quite so fancy and care- free in their games with Big Ten teams and other high-ranking fives in their own section. (Fordham, of course, is by no means the strongest in the New York area.) NEVERTHELESS there was something distinctive about the "basketmind- edness" of those Purdue boys. They were by all odds the most accurate shooting team to show in New York this season, with the possible exception of Long Island University's uncanny marksmen, and they showed a clever- ness about getting their shots away while on the fly that none of the metro- politan teams can match. Incidentally the work of Stanley Feezle, diminutive Indianapolis referee who officiated the Purdue-Fordham game, may have been a revelation to those who are interested in making basketball more popular in the East. Stanley went right to work from the opening tip-off, pounced on the first two instances of contact that could possibly be interpreted as holding fouls (they were fouls, too, but of the sort too often overlooked in the East) and the boys on both teams immediately settled down to play by far the cleanest game of any produced in the six Garden double-headers to date. The fact that it was the most entertaining game as well as the cleanest ought to give Eastern coaches an idea of what a good show basketball can be when it is played with due regard for the theory that it is a no-contact game, as the rule book says it is. And I'll never be annoyed again at Hoosiers bragging about their kind of basketball. It's swell. Hockey Team To Battle For1 Michigan Title. Miners Present Veteran Defense; Sherf To Meet, Former Coach's Team Michigan's hockey team will in- vade Houghton tonight for the first of a two-game series with Michigan Tech for the mythical state colleg- iate puck title. It is the second invas- which the Wolverines have made in five years. Although still uncertain as to the action under stress of his new goalie, Bill Chase, Coach Eddie Lowrey started on the trip confidently, ex- pecting to come back with two victor- ies as the week's returns. Johnny Sherf, Michigan's captain, will be "on the spot" as he faces a team coached by his former Calumet high school mentor, Coach Savini. Savini is new at the College of Mines, having replaced Noblet as tutor for the skaters only this season. Under the tutelage of Coach Sav- ini, a strong defense has been de- veloped among the Tech skaters. Goalie Maki, whom Wolverines fans will recall as having turned in bril- liant performances in the Coliseum in telast two years, is still in com- mand of the Miners' net. Guarding the Tech territory int front of the goal are two more veter- ans, Olsen and Ferris. The latter was captain of the team last year. Mort Croze, captain of the present edition of Tech pucksters, is right wing and scoring ace of the sextet. He has been ably supported by Mul- lins this season. While Michigan is concentrating on an impenetrable defense in front of their goalie, and planning a cau- tious method of attack, rumor has leaked through from Calumet that Captain Sherf's neighbors are out to get his goat. It appears that they have decided that if they can get him sufficiently irritated, and perhaps really mad, they can leave the ice with the sdbre in their favor. As Co-captain Johnny Jewell, who also hails from Calumet, is still in the hospital recuperating from an ap- pendectomy, Bill Chase was selected to go along to tend the Michigan goal. Jack Merrill, a newcomer who has not yet seen action in a game yet, was also included on the list of play- ers to go to Houghton. He, with Walt Courtis and Ed Chase, will supply the reserve strength for the wings. Vic Heyliger will handle his usual posi tion at center, while Larry David and Don MacCollum will defend the Michigan zone. that Lowe, who was left behind for seasoning this week-end, will be un- available for the Minnesota series Feb. 22 and 23.
