WHAT WILL HAPPEN if a co-ed
athlete turns out for a Varsity
squad and shows the ability to gain
a regular post? Big Ten officials be-
came conscious of the fact that. they
may have to face that problem in the
near future when a woman golfer was
asked to report for the Illinois fresh-
man team. She did so on the invita-
tion of the coach but was promptly
persuaded not to by the director of
athletics. Nevertheless the problem
remains. There are feminine golfers,
tennis players and divers who could
hold their own in Varsity competi-
tion at some Big Ten schools. Some
day an intrepid female will turn out
and cinch a place on some team.
Then what? "Cappy" Cappon, assis-
tant director of athletics, admitted
yesterday the question had him
stumped. He knows of no Confer-
ence ruling for or against. So I guess
there is nothing to do but wait for
some courageous lady to come to the
front and cause a test case.
Sherf, A Blusher ? ? ?
TUESDAY morning's Detroit Free
Press reporting the departure of
Johnny Sherf with the Red Wings
characterized the former Michigan
hockey captain time and again as a
"blushing schoolboy." Freddie Bues-
ser, who has covered hockey for the
last three years, and I have been
wondering where the 'Calumet "wild
man" (as Fred puts it) acquired the
tendency toward facial coloration. He
certainly didn't have it when he left
here, and major league hockey com-
petiticn seems hardly the place to
pick up blushing. Otherwise Doc
Holst (id all right in his report on
Johnny. He told of "the fastest
skater on the Wing squad," "a bullet
shot that rises slowly like a Lou Geh-
rig single," "a movie type who is the
idol of the fans everywhere,' and "an
ability to sweep along the boards and
in on a goal keeper like a comet."
Anyway, Johnny may get his big,
chance in this world championship
series and make up for two fair years
persistent injuries have brought him.
Then watch Coach Eddie Lowrey
beam in righteous pride.

team, although no yardage or gains
were counted.
Pass plays featured the greater part
of the drill with Stark Ritchie and
Wally Hook tossing the pigskin all
over the field but connecting only in-
frequently.
Art Valpey and Al Slawinski were
on the receiving end of most of the
heaves, but the defense broke up
most of the pass attempts.

Playoff Game To Top
Detroit Sextet
NEW YORK, April 6.-(P)--The
New York Rangers defeated the De-
troit Red Wings, 5-1, in Madison
Square Garden tonight to gain their
fifth successive National Hockey
League playoff victory and their first
in the best of five series for the Stan-
ley Cup. The Blue Shirts scored
three goals in the first period, then
added one in each of the next two
sessions.
For 57 minutes and eleven sec-
onds of the game, the 16,000 or more
spectators who were hanging from
the Garden rafters expected to see
Ranger Goalie Dave Kerr hang up
his fourth shutout in five games.
Wings Finally Score
Then a five-man Detroit surge
carried the puck into New York ice.
The Rangers were unable to clear
the disc fast enough and Sid Howe,
converting passes from Gordon Pet-
tinger and Ebbie Goodfellow, beat
Kerr on a close-in shot. Davey waved
his arms in disgust as he turned
and saw the puck lying tucked
against the strings.
With Kerr and the Blueshirt rear
guard-Ching Johnson, Art Coulter,
Ott Heller, Joe Cooper and Babe
Pratt - sharing defensive honors.
Lynn Patrick, son of the Ranger
manager, and the veteran Frank
Boucher split the offensive laurels.
Young Patrick scored the second and
final goals, with assists from the wily
Boucher on both, and Frank chalked
up the fourth of the winners' goals
with the aid of Johnson.
Smith Guards Goal
Goalie Norm Smith, vezina Trophy
winner, was in the-nets when Keel-
ing, Patrick and Cooper scored in the
opening session. Smitty, who hurt
his left arm during the N.H.L. title
series with the Montreal Canadiens.
was withdrawn at the start of the
second in i. ui rookie Earl Rob-
ertson.
Earl was in the nets when Boucher
and Patrick blasted the shots that
sewed up the game beyond repair.
Two brawls enlivened the third pe-
riod. Heller and Red Wing Ebbie
Goodfellow drew major penalties-
Heller also a long scalp wound-asR
prime agents in the first scrap, whicl
involved everyone on the ice in addi-
tion to two special police, while Phil
Watson and Sid Howe exchanged
some harmless blows in the final sec-
onds.
The series now moves to Detroit
ice, where the Rangers hope to win
the -second and third games Thurs-
day and Sunday.
