FRIDAY, JAN. 15, 1927 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THEME Varsity 'Sextet Meets Powerful Mimiesota Puckmen Td oni ght Full House Will Witness Initial Tilt Of Series Lowrey Expects To Start Fabello Against Visitor s Unbeaten Team Bring 14-Man Squad Captains Vic Heyliger And Ray Bjorck Are Pitted At Center Posts (Continued from Page 1) Arnold, while on the other side of the rink Gibby James and Ridgeway Baker will try to outskate one anoth- er as the battle rages. The Heyliger-Fabello-James line is certainly as good as Minnesota's for- midable combination, but it is a question whether they can stand up under the charges of the Gophers three lines and still have enough left to outlast the veteran first stringers. Lowrey, while planning to make use of his second line as much as possible, will nevertheless depend on his starting trio to work the great- er part of the game. Merrill At Centerl Jack Merrill will play center on the alternate Michigan line, flanked by the speedy George Cooke and Ed Chase. The outcome of the game may depend to a large extent on how much of the time this second line can play. Minnesota's second line is another all veteran trio made up of the high scoring Jimmy Carlson at center, with Joe Schwab and Wally Taft on the wings. Carlson is leading the Gopher scorers and Taft is second-. Around the Minneapolis Arena, hockey fans speak of the Norsemen's third combination as the pony line, but that is misleading. Kenny An- derson, Kenora, Ont., sophomore, is the only youngster on the line. The others are Loane Randall and center Ray Wallace, both members of the squad last season. Varsity Outmatched Though outmatched nine to six in the front ranks, it will be on defense! that Michigan will be most severely outmanned. The highly competent Bud Wilkinson, seasoned Gopher goalie, will have Johnny Ganley, Dick Kroll in front of him as starting defensemen with Bob Carlson and Bill Bredeson for frequent relief. Michigan's sophomore net minder. Bill Wood, who has stepped into the breach like a veteran this season is perfectly satisfied however and so are all the Michigan fans. Bob Simp- son and Bert Smith are the only two rear guardsmen Michigan has, but they are one of the best defense com- binations the Coliseum ice has ever seen and will be perfectly capable of matching the hoisting activities of the four Minnesota huskies at the other blue line. Meet In February Tonight's clash will be the first of the four-game series that the two clubs play annually to determine the Western Conference championship. The second will be played Saturday night and the final series at Minnea- polis late in February. In the last seven years of this bitter rivalry Michigan has triumphed three times and the Gophers four. Last season the Wolverines won a great overtime victory, 2-1, but fell before superior power the second night to drop any chance for recovering the title which they last held two years ago.

It is hard to say just what kind of competition this squad will run into at Madison. Against Butler the Bad- gers looked terrible and lost, 43 to 23. They looked better against the Boil- ermakers in their Conference opener losing again, however, 43 to 30. Illinois could only nose out Wis- consin, 31 to 28, as the Badgers con- tinued to pick up speed, and despite the fact that they lost their third straight ball game to Ohio State last Monday, 28 to 22, it's a definite fact that they have the ability to play winning ball if they ever get moving. Hod Powell of Valpariso, Ind., and George Rooney are Coach Harold Foster's major offensive threats with Mannie Frey looking good at guard. So far this season he encountered plenty of trouble at center due to the inelgibility of his regular center and it is here that the Badgers have been vulnerable.
