Illinois, victim of Northwestern in its opening game has finally stopped Purdue. Behind 23 to 11 at the half Doug Mill's erratic Illini came from behind to knock the Boilermakers out of undisputed leadership of the Conference and put themselves into a tie for first place with four wins and one loss. Ilini Feature Boudreau Great things were predicted for the season with Louis Boudreau, sensa- season with Louis Boudeau, sensa- tional sophomore, the reason. Start- ing out slowly Boudreau hasdonly1 recently found his stride serving warning on the mid-west a week ago when Illinois beat Indiana and making good again against P u rdu e with 1points. Michigan, for a long time ignored BOUDREAU in the pre-season' 1iniois tabulations, h a s taken advantage of a weak first se- mester schedule and is only one-half game behind the Illini and the be- wildered Boilermakers with three vic- tories and one defeat. Despite the efforts of Chicago's doormats who forced the Wolverines into an overtime before they would take the Maroons seriously enough to go to work, Michigan should go into the Conference lead with Illinois next week-end as six of the teams call off hostilities for final examinations. Ohio Is Next The Wolverines meet Ohio State's midget quintet Saturday night while Illinois takes on Chicago in the only other game. Monday the Maroons will travel to Ann Arbor to face Michigan a second time. If the Var- sity wins both of its encounters and the Illini come out as is expected against Chicago, the two teams will' be tied with five and one to pull ahead of Purdue. Minnesota's surprising five, out- standing defensive team in the Con- ferenee, will resume activities Feb. 6 when the Gophers will try to re- venge their only beating at the hands of Ohio State's Buckeyes. Monday night the Minnesota team gave Northwestern its third beating while Ohio State suffered its first defeat, losing to a disgusted Indiana five. Hoosiers Drop Two Indiana, co-champions last year and favorites to repeat, has lost two games, one to the Illini and another to the Boilermak- ers. Although tem- porarily out of the race, the Hoosiers made their mark when they set the Buckeyes back on their heels for the O.S.U. team was all ' set to take the lead from Purdue. Most surprising} angle of the I.U.- O.S.U. meeting was the disappointing performance o f GUNNING Ken Gunning, who Indiana had been Jewell Young's com- petitor for the individual scoring title. The Indiana forward hit only one point before he went on personals. If the week-end hadn't been lit- tered up with such important upsets the Wisconsin victory over Iowa would have been the feature. The Badgers didn't look strong enough to beat rugs against Michigan Saturday night yet they came back Monday to crack down on an ailing Hawkeye five that has suffered the hardships of a killing schedule and now rests in an undeserved tie for eighth place. A comparison of scores is probably one of the greatest wastes of time this year that has ever been hit upon. For instance Wisconsin has beaten Iowa. Iowa dropped Northwestern, Northwestern gave Illinois a trounc- ing, the Illini laced into Purdue and around it goes. Mat Captain In Form Captain Frank Bissell, senior 155-pounder, is the leader of Mich- igan's mat forces this year and has bcen exhibiting brilliant form in his matches thus far. Against Lehigh, Frank scored a sensation- al win over Tommy King, Olympic finalist last year, in a match that had the spectators on edge throughout. It required two over- time periods for Frank to eke out a victory over his favored oppon- ent, but he won finally by a fall after a nip and tuck bout. High Scoring Race Slightly Affected By BigTen Upsets The upsets that featured Monday night's games in the Cgnference schedule did little damage to the ranks of the first 10 high scorers. With the exception of the addition of Jake Townsend to the list it is vir- tually the same as it was a week ago. Purdue's scoring ace, Jewell Young, continued to head the list in spite of his team's upset at the hands of the Illini. He accounted for 10 points against Indiana Saturday night and made 14 more on Monday. Jake Townsend took the cellar position in the high scoring ranks Saturday and then moved up to his present position after the Wolver- ine-Maroon tilt. In point averages, however, he is in fourth place, hav- ing played.in one less game than the Iothers.

ANDROS Bob Kiputh Again . .. MATT MANN isn't going to like my harping on it any too well, because he became passive toward the whole thing some few years ago, but E being a swimming reporter originally, I can't help saying a few things aboutt Bob Kiputh's latest move . . . Bob is swimming coach at Yate, you know, and coach of the American Olympic swimming team . . . Bob and Mattt nave been carrying on a sort of a, feud for almost a decade . . . Yale beatA Michigan in a dual meet in 1928 and has evaded the Wolverines and Matt ever since . . . The reason is obvious . . . Since then Michigan has becomet the country's best swimming team . . . Yale cleans up everything in the East7 and lays claim to the title of the nation's best . : . What excuse Kiputh uses when Matt's boys literally and figuratively swamp Yale in winning the National Collegiates almost every year, I don't know . . . But even the Eastern scribes have some method of figuring the Eli to be the best in the land. Kiputh's recent announcement that the National A.A.U. championships, awarded to Yale will be held between the Big Ten and National Collegiate meets which will take place in Indiana's and Minnesota's pools respectively is a master stroke . . . Obviously Michigan and Iowa and the other Confer- ence teams cannot go East to the A.A.U. meet in the short space of one in- tervening week-end . . . Yale will win the meet and crown itself a more worthy national champion than Michigan who will again successfully defend its intercollegiate title . . . And Grantland Rice will write his annual piece telling how great a man Kiputh is . . . Oh well, maybe some day the Middle West will run out of good swimmers who come to Michigan because swim- ming here is fun . . . And maybe, by that time Yale's "farm" system of I prep schools will be as elaborate as the St. Louis Cardinal chain . . . Then Kiputh will ask to meet Michigan again . . . Of course Yale won't come all the way to Minnesota to take a beating in the Collegiates this winter. A Game For The Skinny??? I BACK IN GRADE-SCHOOL DAYS we used to think basketball was a game for long, skinny kids . . . One look at the weight chart of Coach Cappon's five obviously disproves that old theory . . . Capt. Johnny Gee and Jake Townsend weigh 217 and 202 pounds respectively . . . Matt Patanelli manages to plug along at a steady 199, while Danny Smick is a mere light- weight at 193 . . . Little Herm Fishman is quick as a cat, but he weighs only 185 . . . Michigan State looked greatly improved in beating Ken- tucky Thursday night , . . The Spartans will be laying for Michigan in no small way in the second game of the season between the two teams between semesters at Demonstration Hall in East Lansing . . . The place will be packed and the crowd will be screaming for the blood of the much-hated Wolverine .'. . I could write a treatise on "How East Lansing's Blood Boils When Michigan Comes to Town". . . You see, I come from there originally . . . . And I'll never forget the yells of the crowd when State's swimming team won its first race from the Wolverines in ten years last winter. Ken Doherty tells me, with his usual reserve, that his freshman track team this year is another outfit with a lot of possibilities ... That is, if he can continue to impress his charges that staying eligible is a very important part of competition on Michigan teams . . . It seems that good swimming and good track teams will always be a part of the Michigan athletic system . ... Remember Gene Desautels, the young catcher who came to the Detroit Tigers after his graduation from Holy Cross in 1930 . . . He's coming back to the majors to help Rick Ferrell of the Red Sox this spring . . . It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Michigan's nine defended its Conference title this spring . . . Ray Fisher has a way with baseball players . . . It is interesting to watch the Detroit Times and the Detroit Free Press play their amateur boxing tournaments above any and all sporting news . . . Keith Crossman i and Emmie Reid, Coach Eddie Lowrey's first outstanding scoring combina- tion, are still making great plays for the Holzbaugh-Ford six of Detroit, the middle-west's leading amateur hockey team. By STEWART FITCH t It was a fine meet, and I am veryc well pleased with the showing the boys made. The team looks red hot,, and when we get the whole squad eligible for competition, we're going j to have a great outfit." These were1 the words Matt Mann ventured yes- terday when asked to comment on Saturday's meeting with the Hoosiers. After the overwhelming 64-20 vic- tory over Indiana, the tankers were in a very jubilant state of mind. "We're just having a good time to- day," said Mann as he watched -his charges cavort in the pool. Tankers Clown The boys were mixing business with pleasure during yesterday's practice drill. The free-stylers were splash- ing through time trials, trying to see how close they could come to the time Mann set for them. Fred Cody, the biggest clown on the squad, floated in the center of the pool trying to thumb a ride with the passing sprint- ers, but met with no luck as none of he swimmers seemed to be far !nough ahead of their schedule to warrant taking on an extra load, Co-captain Frank Barnard scowled as he watched one of the short dis- tance swimmers clipping off a fast 50 yards. "Say," he said, "I work twice as hardfas that guy, but look how much faster he goes." Barnard, however, finds his specialty in the long distance events as he proved Saturday and will continue to prove throughout the season. He swims both the 220 and 440 yard distances. Cody Steals Spotlight Cody again stole the spotlight when he suddenly announced that he was going to "butterfly" the length of the pool. His performance was in- tended to copy the famous style de- veloped by breast-stroker Jack Kas- ley. It was quite a burlesque and it is unfortunate that Jack couldn't have been present to retaliate Cody found out, however, that one length was all he cared to try, and decided that he had better stick to back-stroking. His imitation of El- eanor Holm Jarrett turned out to be Lynch Wins Flyweight Title Beating Montana ILONDON, Jan. 19.-(Al)-Benny Lynch of Scotland won the world's flyweight championship today by out- pointing Small Montana of Manila in their 15-round title fight. Lynch, holder of the British title, scaled 111 pounds, 6 ounces more successful and he drew a round of applause and laughter from the assembled tankers. Team Is Confident Matt Mann and his crew were con- fident of making- the showing that they did Saturday and expected to have a successful season but not un- til the tankers were put through their paces under competition was the fact established sufficiently to allow the boys to cut loose. The next meet on the schedule is on Jan. 27 when Michigan State's Spartans come to Ann Arbor to clash with the National champions. NEW STORE - NEWEST CLOTHES Be Smart - Buy Now!
