AV% iUA.FCii ry iii !7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY I MichiganPuckmen Battle Powerful TorontoVarsity Canadians Rate Among Leading HockeySquads Teams Show Fairly Equal Records; Ontario Sextet Boasts 5 Goal Average Jack Merrill Is Out Michigan's battling Wolverines will be out to prove that they rank with the leading hockey teams of North America when they face off at 8 p.m. in the Coliseum tonight against the powerful. Toronto Varsity, conquer- ors of the most formidable sextets of the east. More than 1,400 spectators are expected to jam the arena to capacity long before referee Paddy Farrell blows his whistle to signal the com- mencement of a puck clash which ex- perts predict will set a new high for hockey thrills here. Varsity Has Two Reserves It will. be the rangy Canadians, boasting a trio of high geared for- ward lines, four husky defensemen, and at least one high grade netmind- er against Captain Vic Heyliger and seven mates when the battle gets underway. Michigan, materially weakened by the loss of Jack Merrill, second line center, will have to depend on George Cooke and Ed Chase for their only relief during the entire 60 minutes of play. Reports from the Ontario me- tropolis indicate that the Varsity needs a lot of room to hit the peak form which has given them an av- erage of five goals per game thus far this season. With this in mind Coach Eddie Lowrey will have his Wolver- ines glued to the invaders all evening. Teams' Records Even On their records both teams stand fairly even. Michigan has won 11 out of 16 games, while Toronto has scored eight victories in 12 starts. The Canadians schedule has pitted them against the best of the east, how- ever, and two of their defeats came at the hands of the well nigh in- vincible McGill. Tonight's clash will settle for once and all the question of hockey su- premacy. If Michigan can beat the Varsity, no longer will the East be able to claim that western hockey is pecond rate.," Toronto's flashy sextet features a wide open brand of hockey made possible by a world of offensive pow- er and of defense. ' Coach Ace Bailey plans to start his second line against the short handed Wolverines. Maxie Fullerton, veteran flanker with a lot of hockey between the ears, will be out there on left wing. Charlie Sweeny, a very re- liable and extremely fast winger Vill be on the opposite side, and between them, the 21-year old recruit Bill Morrison. Opponents Have Three Lines Toronto's greatest scoring combine, featuring the sensational Norm Mc- Clelland at center flanked by Wib Valiquette and Rip Ripley, will take the ice next. A third Varsity line will also make its appearance, probably composed of Bob Creasy, Ken Gregory and Bob Galway. Back on the red line Captain Bruce Charles will team with the fast skat- ing Ernie Rey to present Michigan forwards with a very discouraging spectacle when they come down the ice. In the nets the invaders have George Campbell, who despite his first year on the squad, has had plenty of experience. Campbell played goalie on the junior championship six last season and has been playing hockey for five years. Coach Eddie Lowrey plans to start his pwn potent forward trio against the fast stepping Canadians, working George Cooke and Ed Chase into the game with Johnny Fabello when Captain Vic Heyliger and Gibby' James are weary of carrying the at- tack.

(Continued from Page 1) scored 16 points and worked well on defense. The way the Big Ten stands the Varsity can wind up in either first,t second, or third place. If both the Gophers and the Illini lose and the, Wolverines win, all three will be tied for the title. If either of the two leaders should be beaten and Michi- gan wins, then Cappon and his boys will wind up tied for second. But if b o t h Minnesota and Illinois win and Michigan loses, the Wolver- ines can still finish no lower t h a n third, the s p o t that they held last year, behind In- diana and Purdue. Both Jake Town- .. send and Gee will have their last CAPT. GE chance to boost their scoring records. Townsend with 106 points is in fourth spot, just two points behind his 12-game record last year and two places above his 1936 standing. His chances to pass Mike McMichael of Northwestern who is second and Harry Combes, Illini forward and guard, in third seem good. McMichael is eight points ahead of him, Combes but two.

Frey 107 Athletes Gather For State Relay Meet EAST LANSING, March 5.--P)- Michigan College track and field stars assembled here tonight for Saturday's assault on existing rec- ords in the 17th Annual Michigan State College Relay Carnival.

Team In 24-0 Win Varsity Track Team Crushes Panthers, 66-3 8 Woodruff Gallops To New Field House Record" In 440, Wins Half-Mile (Continued from Page 1) ten feet further au derriere to take third. The winning time was 1:56. Osgood came within one-tenth of a second of his own high-hurdle mark of :8.1 and within two-tenths of Jesse Owen's low-hurdle standard of :7.2. The Michigan captain had to stave off a closing rush by Glen Cooper of Pitt to take the lows by a foot.dg Sammy Stoller led all the way to take his favorite 60-yard sprint in :6.3, with the same Cooper coming in a yard back to take second in a camera finish oth Alan Smith, Michigan sophomore. In the mile run Clayt Brelsford seemed on his way to lower his own kField House mark of 4:17.1 when the three-quarter mark was reached, but finished in 4:19.4. Ray Fink and Harry O'Connell took second and third for the Varsity. Get Slam In Broadjump The second slam of the meet came in the final event, the broad jump. Smith jumped 23 feet three inches for first honors, with Stoller and Bill Watson ending up in a tie for second less than two inches back. Watson and Jim Kingsley, both sophomores, remained undefeated in their favorite events. The former took the shot put easily with a heave of 48 feet 111h2 inches, and Kingsley went up 13 feet to win the pole vault from Bill Morgan of Michigan. Dave Hunn, veteran Varsity vaulter, was kept out of the event by Coach Charlie Hoyt to allow the former's injured leg some rest before the Conference championships to be held next week-end in Chicago. Win Relay Easily Michigan's quartet of Harvey Clarke, Brelsford, Captain Osgood and Birleson had little trouble in capturing the mile relay, by approx- imately 100 yards, defeating a Pitt team that had trouble at the ex- change. Woodruff did not run in this event.' Harold Tost put on a terrific sprint in the two-mile run to beat Mich- igan's Neree Alix, the pace-setter for most of the race, by 25 yards. UNIVERSITY HIGH LOSES Northville High School, the defend- ing district champions in the C divi- sion, defeated University High 20-18 Thursday night in the State basket- ball tournament. Metz Wins Hollywood Open Golf Tournament HOLLYWOOD, Fla., March 5.-(OP) -Dick Metz, bronzed young Chicago professional, won the $3,000 Holly- wood Open Golf Tournament today with a 72-hole score of 272. Metz, eight under par for the dis- tance, finished three strokes ahead of his nearest rivals, Johnny Revolta of Evanston, Ill., and Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. Y. Another stroke back at 276 was Jimmy Hines, blond shotmaker from Garden City, N.Y. Big Ten 1937 Basketball Race Clo s e s Tonight With the championship up in the air, Chicago's trampled Maroons, keyed to beat the title-conscious Min- nesota team and Northwestern wait- ing to repeat over Illinois' league- leading Suckers, the 1937 Big Ten basketball race closes tonight. The Gophers, just one jump away from their first cage title since 1921,1 have more than just a tenth-place team to reckon with at the Midway field house tonight. The Maroons have just about reached the end of a Conference losing streak that began with the 1934-35 season when they 1 won their last game defeating Iowa, 41-40. Minnesota, also, has the overconfi- dence and let-down factors with which to contend. They've won nine of their eleven contests this season, several over the strongest teams in the league and have dropped the two they did by a matter of one point in each case. At Evanston, tonight, the Illini also have a tough battle on their hands. Northwestern, waiting for a chance to avenge the loss handed them down in Champaign earlier in the season and narrowly nosed out in anovertime by Minnesota last Monday, will be noeasy mark, even for the league-leaders. , r EAST LANSING, March 5.-(I)- The University of Michigan wrestling team overwhelmed Michigan State's green squad here tonight, 24 to 0.
