Yost To Advance Proposal For Midwestern Hockey League Would Include Four Big Ten College Teams Plans Will Be Presented To Conference Heads At March Meeting Illinois Is Mentioned (Continued from Page 1) adian Minnesota's schedule is similar. According to Mr. Yost, Michigan's proposal particularly will be directed at Illinois. The Urbana school has one of the best college hockey coli- seums in the United States. Makes Second Attempt Wisconsin, until the 1935 hockey season,. supported an ice team that played with Michigan and Minne- sota for the title. Wisconsin with- drew from intercollegiate competi- tion at the beginning of the 1935 season when the university's athlet- ic authorities decided that playing conditions were too adverse to com- pensate for the time devoted to the program. Wisconsin did not have an indoor rink, but trained and com- peted outdoors. Following the Big Ten track meet here in 1935, Michigan, through Mr. Yost, carried on a brief correspon- dence with the late George Huff. former athletic director at Illinois, but Yost did not receive a favorable reply. Huff's main objection to the plan was that Illinois did not draw the mater- ial for hockey and that the school had sufficient intercollegiate com- petition without hockey. Huff said that the students at Illinois were sat- isfied with arrangements in force at Illinois, whereby the students parti- cipated in intramural hockey. Hockey Is Popular Mr. Yost hopes that the new ath- letic director at Illinois will be amen- able to the league proposal. Hockey, once classed as a minor sport at Michigan, has become in- creasingly popular among the stu- dents. Conference games against Minnesota, and formerly against Wis- consin, have drawn capacity crowds. Mermen Work For Hoosiers' MeetSaturday The first swimming meet of the season with Indiana scheduled for Saturday afternoon in the Intra- mural pool should prove to be merely a warm-up for the Varsity. The Wolverine tankers, however, may run into some trouble in the free-' style distance events. The Hoosiers held. an. intra-squad meet last Thursday which gave Coach Robert Royer a chance to get a line on the ability of his charges. The man who will probably furnish the most trouble for the. Varsity is Bill Jacobson, a sophomore competing for the first time this season. He was the only member of the team to score a double victory in the intra- squad meet. He is a distance swim- mer of no mean ability gaining wins in the 220 and 440 yard events. On Wednesday, the Hoosier mer- men engage in a meet with DePauw University. This contest should give an indication of the strength of the team, being the first outside com- petition of this season for the In- diana aggregation. The contest with Indiana on Sat- urday is being held in the afternoon so as not to conflict with the hockey game with Minnesota that evening. McLARNIN LEARNS NEWS VANCOUVER, B.C., Jan. 12.-(OP)-t Jimmy McLarnin declared that plans to match him with Middleweight Champion Freddie Steele was news to him but the former world welter- weight champ conceded today that it was at least "an idea." "I haven't heard a thing about such a match," Jimmy said, "but it is an idea-isn't it'?' Jimmy will leave for Los Angeles in "a couple of days" to get in shape "for anything that looks promising."

A.A.U. Relays First On Card For Thinclads Three Dual Meets Listed For Indoors As Squad Begins Hard Practice With a successful defense of their Big Ten indoor championship their main objective, Coach Charley Hoyt's Varsity thinclads have settled down to serious training for the 1937 season which will open Feb. 16 with the third' annual Michigan A.A.U. Relays , in Yost Field House. Hoyt has had his charges working out all through the school year and the Wolverines are apparently in good condition. As the Relays come the second night of the second semes- ter and little work can be done the final examination period, which fills the two preeding weeks, there will be plenty of ard work in store for the thinclads during the next three weeks. Michigan's indoor schedule lists three dual meets to follow the A.A.U. carnival, these to be with Michigan State, Ohio State and Pittsburgh. On March 12 and 13 the Wolverines will be in Chicago battling the rest of the Conference for a fourth successive title and the week following will be{ fighting for a fourth straight in the Butler Relays. To all appearances at this early date Michigan will be a top-heavy favorite in the Conference engage- ment for no other team appears to have the excellent balance combined with outstanding performers that the Wolverines possess. Again the strength of Indiana, Conference Out- door champions, will be centered largely in the distance runs. HOCKEY RESULTS Montreal Canadiens 4, Detroit 1. Young Cage After Still Heads. Scoring Opening List Tilts The smoke from the first three battles of the Big Ten war for scor- ing honors has cleared away, leaving! Purdue's Jewell Young still very much in possession of the field and com- pletely reassorting the other as- pirants for the crown. Young, with his 51 points, and Gunning of In- diana, with 37, are the only ones to hold their places undisputed, being a two-way tie for every place.

There will be no admission charge for these bouts. In the feature spot of the evening will be Leonard Spector and Henry Postoway, light middleweights. Al- though still lacking in ring exper- ience both men are capable of a good performance and are rated by Lar- son as outstanding members of his freshman ring class. The other middleweight bouts will be: Don Hollis vs. Bob Snyder and Tom Root vs. Bill Hope. In the only welterweight go on the card Sam Root, brother of Tom, will step into the ring to swap punches with Herb Roskin. What to do about the heavyweight situation for his fight show was still a puzzle to Vern Larson yesterday for he is unable to spot a man to work with his big heavy Bob Tha- ner. It is certain however that Thal- ner will be one of the men in the ring and if another freshman heavy Joes not put in an appearance soon it is possible that Don Siegel, star sophomore footballer, will be the other. If so the heavyweight battle will become something interesting in- deed to watch. The giant Siegel is rated by Larson as one of the most finely coordinated men he has ever watched in the ring, despite his size. Injuries Strike Matmen Again; Thomas Is Out The injury jinx which has been harassing the Varsity wrestlers all year struck with a vengeance yester- day, and as a result Coach Cliff Keen is in a quandry in deciding his line- up for the two big meets at the end of the week. Earl Thomas, who has been in- capacitated with a knee injury since the Christmas holidays, suffered a re- lapse yesterday after it seemed that he was well on the road to recovery. Thomas' knee had apparently been responding well to treatment, but the injury pained him so much yesterday that he found difficulty in working out at all. Cameron Not In Shape Paul Cameron, veteran 126-pound- er, is way out of condition and will need a lot of hard work to be ready for the Lehigh meet at Bethlehem. Pa., on Friday, and the Franklin and Marshall meet at Lancaster, Pa., on Saturday. Cameron has been af- flicted with a throat and tonsilar in- fection as well as a groin injury in- curred in practice this week. Big Butch Jordan, heavyweight grappler, is down with a touch of the flu, and several of the other men com- plained of -feeling a bit sluggish in practice yesterday. Face Strong Opposition The matmen face two of the tough- est teams in the East in their en- gagements on Friday and Saturday. Emphasis in the mat gameis rifeat both of these schools, and the teams are consequently of a very high calibre. The team will entrain Thursday at 3:45 p.m. for its eastern invasion.

At Purdue when he got his hands on the ball three Boilermakers dropped back on him and smothered him. Monday night Northwestern did the same thing and the Wildcats fairly quivered with fright everyI time he touched a pass to such a de- gree that they gave Jake eight free throws. Odds Are Too Great There have been very few basket- ball players who couldn't be stopped if they were covered on all sides with the entire defense concentrating on them. After all, four on one or three on one is hardly the usual thing. So far Michigan has really taken advantage of this concentration of defense on Townsend. At Lafayette, Ind., Townsend tried to outplay his three guards and get his passes away and he failed for it just can't be done. Against the Wildcats'he be- gan to hurry his passing and do a little shooting himself and the re- sults were pleasing to the eye. From now on it can be said with reasonable assurance that Jake will be doing his part as far as taking advantage of the defense strategy that the Conference has figured out to stop him. He'll pass faster for the time being and take his shots. Must Develop Speed If the Varsity as a whole can de- velop some of the speed that it showed in the last six minutes against the Wildcats, if it will stop throwing sloppy passes, if it will start trying hard on the backboard, if it will try ball-hawking as it has shown it can -then Michigan will bedback where it was before Townsend gave the Conference a fit of apoplexy and was just a promising sophomore. Don't believe this rumor that Townsend is stopped and before you decide once and for all that he doesn't look so good be sure you take a good look at the floor and see what is happening. >; i 1, boys will be back to normal as they are now back in the Big Ten race. New Sprinting 1 Threat IS Seens In Herb Weust NEW YORK, Jan. 12. - OP) - A new "white hope",sprint star emerged from the first indoor track and field competition today to challenge the superiority of Negro athletes over the shorter distances. The world record-breaking per- formance of Herbert Weust, Colum- bia University sophomore, over 100 meters at the Columbus Council K. of C. meet last week was seen as a threat to the monopoly on sprint honors held by Owens, Peacock, Johnson and Metcalfe during the last few yeairs. Weust.a New Rochelle boy, was clocked in 10.6 seconds, clipping one- fifth of a second off the indoor record of 1.8 set by New York's "flying cop," Bob McAllister, in 1927. Weust beat out Marty Glickman, Syracuse University sorinter, and a member of the Olympic team last summer. SALE! OVERCOATS 13OFF Walk a Few Steps and Save Dollars I KUOHN'S 205 E.

Monday night he found his pace when the Illini upset the Hoosiers. Now all the fans are waiting for is to see Tom Nesbit also find his stride and show what this much-touted combination can do. Fred Trenkle, Northwestern for- ward who is in ninth place in the scoring, has made all of his 22 points on field goals.
