22, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY !AGE TRw Hockey Six Battles Gophers For Big Ten Title Here Expect Rough And Fast Play In Series Here Minnesota With String Of Six Victories Anticipates Another Championship Both Sides Confident Michigan Hopes Rest On Tight Defense, Strong Scoring Punch With the Western Conference hockey championship as the prize, Michigan and Minnesota will tear into each other at 8:30 tonight at the Coliseum in the first of what will probably be on the whole a hectic two-game series. Both outfits are thirsting for battle and both are confident of winning. Minnesota, after recovering from an unsuccessful early season start, came back to administer trouncings to Wisconsin and Michigan Tech in six straight games and tonight is on the crest of a wave of self-confidence which Gopher fans hope will sweep them into their perennial position at the top of the Big Ten hockey heap. Michigan, greatly outbalanced in man-power, since Minnesota has two veteran and one sophomore forward lines to alternate, will depend upon what is undoubtedly the best defense in the League, plus an offense which has averaged close to four goals a game in Big Ten competition. Michigan will throw her All-Amer- ca ace, Co-captain Johnny Sherf, into the foray with the hope that he Big Ten Hockey W L T P Michigan ......3 0 1 7 Minnesota........2 1 1 5 Wisconsin........0 4 0 0 will add plenty to his total of six goals scored in Conference games; while Vic Heyliger and Dick Berry- man, sophomore forwards, are ex- pected to hit the net. Captain Spencer Wagnild, defense man for the Gophers and one of their leading scorers, will lead a band of about 15 invading puckmen, most of whom are veterans. Bud Wilkinson, goalie, and Ray Bjorck, whose re- cent promotion to the position of regular center has improved the play of the forward line, are the only sophomores in the Minnesota lineup. Besides Wagnild, Russ Gray and Bill Zeiske, who have appeared here before, and Bjorck are the big guns in the Gopher attack. None, however, is capable of scoring frequently on solo dashes, and consequently depend upon shooting into the corner and ganging around the net. LINEUPS Michigan Pos Minnesota B.

Dick Berryman (left) has scored less times than his mates, but four of his five goals this season have come in Conference games. Vic Heyliger (center) and Johnny Sherf (right) have thus far accounted for 30 of the team total of 38 goals. I - --m.-a STAR DUST By ART CARSTENS - Michigan Will Meet Badgers Here Saturday Distance Races Feature Zepp, Smith,_Ottey Wolverine Captain Entered In Mile Run; Relay Team To Attempt New Record Michigan's track team will make its initial home appearance in Yost Field House in a triangular meet with Michigan State, and Michigan State Normal College. The meet will begin at 7:30 p.m. Although the Wolverine squad was represented by individuals in the State A.A.U. carnival held here Feb. 9, tonight's meet will be the first ap- pearance as a whole of the team. Michigan opened its dual meet sched- ule last week at Minnesota, when a skeleton squad of 12 men over- whelmed a weak Gopher team. Stars To Perform Tonight's meet will present prac- tically all the outstanding collegiate performers of the State, including Tom Ottey of Michigan State, Bill Zepp, Abe Rosencrantz and Ray Low- rey of Normal. Ottey's choice of either the mile or two-mile run will stamp tliat event as the feature of the evening, with 'a dual between him and Harvey Smith in the mile or between Ottey and Zepp in the two-mile. Captain Smith, who set a new Field House record in the half-mile last week, will not enter that event to- night, concentrating in the mile, and will be supported by Clayton Brels- ford. With Smith out of the half-mile, Abe Rosenkrantz of Normal, who bat- tled the Wolverine captain in his rec- ord-breaking run, will be installed as the favorite to take the event. Mich- igan entries will include T. K. Fish- er, Paul Gorman, Howard Davidson and Ed. Devine. Alix Is Michigan Entry In the two-mile although Ottey's entry is expected to make it a duel with Zepp, Michigan will be repre- sented by Neree Alix, Walter Stone and Rod Howell, making his first ap- pearance of the year. The meet will also mark the first appearance in competition for Mich- igan of Stan Birleson, sophomore quarter-miler, who has been heralded as one of the most brilliant prospects in recent years.

Last Saturday, 8,900 wild rooters packed the Badger Field House to capacity to see Wisconsin down In- diana in an overtime battle in their last home game. Coach Harold (Bud) Foster has de- veloped the tightest guarding team in the Conference which is evidenced by the low scores attained by opponents.! Wisconsin stands at the top of the heap defensively, having the lowest number of points caged against it. Chub Poser, All-Conference guard last year, and Gilly McDonald, his running mate, are the key to Wis- consin's success. Both are hard to get around for shots; McDonald special- izes in tracking the opponent's of- fensive star, having checked each scoring leader who has taken the floor against Wisconsin. Poser is an all- around star; in the Badger's last game, he provided the winning margin with 11 points.

Hoyt, the Wolverine track coach, was eating ice cream yesterday as a result of having of- fered convincing proof that he can give practical as well as theoretical demonstrations of sprinting form. Cedric Sweet, the grid star, who has been working out in the sprints to improve his starts, took Hoyt's offer on a ten-yard dash with a quart of ice cream as added stakes, Tuesday. Yesterday Sweet paid off, and is still trying to deny that Hoyt's edge was five yards. 1 State Street I I Ii i h I or Jones, a sophomore who has de- veloped rapidly, will complete the Badger lineup tomorrow. Coach Cappon's Varsity, which fared poorly against a reserve five in scrimmage yesterday, will remain unchanged for the Badgers, with Plummer and Meyers, forwards, Gee, center, and Patanelli and Evans, guards. The Wolverines guarantee plenty of action starting at 7:30 Sat- urday night as they will be out to topple the Badgers for a previous 34- 20 defeat. i i ' t 1 r = . , = ; ! -p I rt / } r ' ' a .
