At the Jefferson High School gym in the first game with the Riveters it was Seward's domination of the tip-off that was largely responsible for the Wolverines defeat. Monday night Gee never lost the jump. Inspects Campus Incidentally Seward told us that he has good reason for losing those tips. It seems that he and Mangas, substitute guard, spent four hours Monday morning inspecting the Michigan campus and he didn't have any spring left in his legs at game- time. Fifth is that very regrettable inci- dent-Glen Downey's injured arm. In 'The PRESS ANGLE By GEORGE J. ANDROS - Welcome To Michigan, Hunk... THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT as to the sagacity of the signing of "Hunk" Anderson as football line coach . . . No less an authority than the late Knute Rockne of Notre Dame called Anderson the greatest assistant coach in the country . . . And "Rock" saw a lot of coaches in his time . . . The applause "Hunk" received when he was introduced at the Michigan-Purdue basketball game Monday night is significant of the high esteem in which he is held among the student body . . . And "Hunk" really appreciated it ...' Whalebone and steel, that's Hunk. The question has been asked whether or not the gigning of Anderson would result in some sort of a blending of the Michigan and Notre Dame systems.. . Hunk said yesterday in this regard: "I'm not here to tinker with the Michigan system" . . . "That isn't my business" . . . "I'm a line coach and the strategy is up to Kipke" . . . Anderson admitted he "might change Michigan's line play a little bit" ... Having watched Charlie Bachman work with his Michigan State line, I am convinced Notre Dame line play is O.K. Why Not Meet Notre Dame? ? ? A N EDITORIAL on page four of this issue of The Daily deals with the possibilities of a Michigan-Notre Dame game. There is a great deal of logic in it. Fred DeLano was the boy, who started the agitation last winter for a renewal of athletic relations between the two schools. Rumor has it that Michigan is now state basketball champion . . . Oh, boy . . . Coach Ben Van Alstyne of Michigan State said before the game Monday night that the eventual winner would be the team that relaxed first . .. Michigan re- laxed first . . . Purdue never relaxed. Coach Matt Mann and his title-bound swimmers had a huge scare thrown into them at Columbus last Saturday . . . Ohio State really had a team of no mean proportions . . . The Buckeyes come to the Intramural Pool a week from tonight ... Co-Captains Jack Kasley and Frank Barnard con- curred yesterday in saying that it would be a different story at that time ... Tonight and Friday at Minneapolis are the big nights of the year for the hockey team ... A Big Ten championship hangs in the balance. Young's Big Ten Scoring Lead Narrowed, Gee Gains 9th Post Sextet Opposes Gopher Squad1 In ClashToday Winner Of Big Ten Title1 Will Be Determined In Two-Game Series By BONTH WILLIAMS Their eyes on the Western Confer- ence championship, nine determined Michigan hockey players entrained for Minneapolis late yesterday after- noon for their all-important two- game clash with the vaunted Minne- sota Gophers tonight and Friday. As things stand now both Larry Armstrong's Norsemen and Eddie Lowrey's Wolverines have each won and lost a game. The Gophers, behind the great net minding of Bud Wilkinson, shut out Michigan in the initial Coliseum en- counter, but Captain Vic Heyliger and the wily Gib James returned to the ice the following night and proceeded to give Minnesota the worst pasting they have had in years as they ran! in goal after goal for an 8-1 victory. A tie and a win, or two wins will give the Big Ten title to either team Golf Candidates To Meet Buckeye Thinclads To Threaten Michigan Supremacy Monday the first half with the score 6 to 5 for the Varsity Down- ey dove for a loose ball under his own basket and Patan- elli followed him to the floor in his own inimitable way. The resulting collision put the Purdue co- captain out of com- mission with an in- jured shoulder and proved a severe blow to both 'Boil- PATANELLI Michigan With Courtright Tonight All prospective candidates for the varsity and freshman golf squads have been asked by Coach Ray Courtright to attend a very important meeting to be held at 8 p.m. today in the Union. Everyone interested in trying out for either of the two squads is urged to be there. Matters to be discussed include eligibility, schedule and early practice plans. By FRED DE LANO Ohio State's track team, victor over Indiana's powerful thinclads Monday night, will give Coach Chuck Hoyt's Wolverines their first real competition of the season when they clash Saturday in Yost Field House. Buckeye athletes broke three In- diana field house records in pacing their mates to a 46-40 win, these being in the high jump, the mile relay and in the quarter mile. Dave, Albritton and Wendel Walker, both of Ohio, cleared the bar in the high jump at 6 feet 6 inches and Chuck Beetham turned in a :49.8 quarter. The relay time was 3:23.6. Set Record Here Albritton gained fame as an Olym- pic high jumper last summer and in the trials at Randall's Island tied the world's record in the event, 6 feet Matmen Whip Bobcats 17-11 !In Slow -Meet Speicher Is Only Varsity Man On Regular Spot; Reserves Used Michigan's varsity wrestlers com- memorated Washington's Birthday in a very uneventful fashion Monday, as they sat by and watched their second stringers whi Ohio University's Bob- cats, 17-11. at the Yost Field House. Johnny Speicher was the only var- sity man to work in his regular spot, and Johnny had a real circus in defeating Paul Carpenter of Ohio. The time advantage was 8:21, with Johnny putting so many holds on Carpenter that it resemebled an in- structive exhibition rather than a match. Cameron Pins Foe Ed Kellman of Michigan defeated. Gene Porozynski of Ohio in a slow bout at 126-pounds. Kellman's early advantage gave him the nod. Paul Cameron, wrestling at 135 pounds instead of his usual 126, pinned George Schultz of Ohio with an arm- lock and body scissors in 8:06. Rex Lardner, engaging in his first competition for Michigan, lost to Paul DeTuerk at 145-pounds in a slow match. Harold Nichols had an easy time with Ed Bijak of Ohio at 155-pounds, mounting up an impres- sive time advantage of 7:45. Lincoln Downed Jim "Abe" Lincoln. ran into 215 pounds of Bobcat beef in the heavy- weight division in the person of Henry Adamcyk. Adamcyk, strange- ly resembling Tor of Popeye fame, used his weight and strength to ad- vantage to win in 2:45. The varsity meets their supreme dual meet test of the year, Monday, March 1, tangling with Indiana's Hoosiers at the Field House. The re- sult will be an accurate indicator of the comparative set-up of both teams preceding the Big Ten meet here March 12 and 13. 9 3-4 inches, only seconds after Cor- nelius Johnson had jumped that high for the first time in history of man. Beetham, until Saturday, owned the Yost Field House record in the 440 at :50.3 seconds and his race Monday proved that he is at the peak of his career. Stan Birleson, Michigan's ace quarter-miler who missed the world record in the quar- ter last week by three tenths of a second, will have all the competition he might ever ask for when he faces the Buckeye flyer Saturday and it may be that the world indoor mark of :48.9, set by Ray Ellinwood of Chicago in last year's Conference meet, will be in danger. Ohio Has Greatest, Too $ By virtue of their win over In- diana the Buckeyes rank as the greatest' threat to Michigan's Big Ten title and Coach Hoyt, after a close study of the summaries of the Ohio-Indiana meet, stated yester- day, "This is apparently the greatest, track team Ohio State has ever had. The meet Saturday should be a nip and tuck battle all the way with the outcome uncertain until the last event is ovet." Ohio's only apparent weakness lies in the distance runs, the mile and two mile, and Indiana scored slams i~n both events with the great Don, Lash leadingthe way. Lash's time in the mile was 4:13.9. Buckeyes Are Well Balanced The Buckeyes took six firsts againstf the Hoosiers, these in the mile relay, the quarter and high jump as already mentioned, the high hurdles, the half mile which Beetham won in 1:56.6 and the pole vault. The latter event was won by "Jumping Joe" Wil- liams, shifty Ohio halfback, at 12 feet 6 inches. A well-balanced team, the Buck- eyes appear able tio force the Wolver- ines, fresh from a 67-28 triumph over; Michigan State, to the limit. A de- cisive win would definitely stamp Michigan as the finest team in the Western Conference but few observers are going out on the limb by pre- dicting such a victory. All-Campus Mermen Will Meet March 10 March 9 marks the final date for entries in the All-Campus swimming meet, which will be held in the In- tramural Pool on Wednesday, March 10 at 7:30 p.m. Individuals wishing to enter this meet are advised by Intramural of- ficials to sign up immediately on the bulletin board in the I-M foyer. Entrants may participate in the diving event, along with any two of the following: 50-yard free style, 50- yard backstroke, 50-yard breast- stroke, 100-yard free style, 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard breast stroke, 220-yard free style, and 75-yard med- ley. An intramural certificate will be awarded the high point man of the meet, and ribbons will be given to the winner and runner-up of each event. I-M Runners Will Hold Relay Trials Tonight Fraternity and independent half- mile relay teams go into action to- night from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the Field House track. The four-man teams will be vieing for the privilege of competing against one another during the Pittsburgh-Varsity meet here, March 5. Four teams of each fraternity and independent groups which own the best time at the end of the relays tonight will be selected by intramural officials to compete against one an- other in the finals. Each team is composed of a quar- tet of runners, each doing 220 in the relay. Last year, in the fraternity di- vision, Phi Kappa Psi was the win- ning organization. Illinois Cagers Lead ' In Conference Race By One-Half Game Only one-half game separates the Big Ten leading Illinois basketball team from second place Michigan and Minnesota. Illinois grabbed the top position by virture of their decisive victory over Wisconsin 48-31 Monday night and because Michigan dropped Purdue to fourth place. Michigan's victory lowered Purdue after the Boilermakers had beaten Minnesota leaving Illinois in the lead with their half game only because the M~ini had played one more game than either Minnesota or Michigan. Recovering from their defeat Min- nesota beat Iowa 44-25 to get back into the race. The same evening Ohio State's title hopes went sim- mering as Northwestern took a 44 to 29 decision. The few remaining games on the ermaker defense and offense.I Michigan Has Accuracy. Number six takes into considera- tion that ball-hawking -of all six Michigan players and particularily Townsend and Patanelli. Those two were following the ball and scooping it up whenever the opportunity arose in a manner that made it clear that they were intent on beating their Hoosier brethren. They intercepted passes, picked up rolling balls, and watched the rebounds in such a man- ner that Michigan had the ball two- thirds of the time. Seventh is Michigan's accuracy, eighth the fact that Purdue was play- ing its third crucial game in eight days, and ninth the demoralizing ef- fect of the 8 to 8 halftime score on the Riveters. Crowd Waits And we must not forget also that for the second time in as many games that "a Young man's fancy did not turn to basketball." It's safe to say that about 9,000 of the 9,000 who saw that game were waiting to see Young, the ponference's leading scor- er, put on his act. When he made but two free throws at the end of the first half most folksj were still waiting expectantly. And it's also probably safe to say that when in the second half Young finally got a bucket on a fast break with a typical one-handed shot from the right side many a heart skipped a. beat and many a tongue was in- fluential in saying "Well here they go." Is High Pointer But the game ended with Young making only five points for the doubt- ful honor of being Purdue's high-point man. Thomas and Barclay did a beau- tiful job of guarding on the ill-humored Boilermaker. He did not have an "off" night. The point is that he never got open for a shot. And not being superhu- man h e couldn't score. DOWNEY Against Minnesota Purdue' Saturday night Young made only seven points so in the last two games he scored but 12 points. For Michigan Townsend was high- point man with nine points, two field goals and five free throws, closely followed by Gee with four baskets. Statistics Favor Michigan The statistics show that Michigan attempted 12 longs and made one, 13 shots and made two in the first half while it hit two out of eight longs and seven out of 11 shorts in the second. Purdue made only one long in nine attempts and one short out of 14 in the first period and missed all 10 long shots and connected but three times in 11 short shots in the second half. Most pointed information discov- ered in the Wolverine locker room after the game was that Dick Long, substitute guard, had lost three By ART BALDAUF Jewell Young had his lead cut from 46 to 37 points, Bob Etnire was dropped from the first ten and John- ny Gee was added, and Earl Combes became the second man to pass the century mark. Those are the main results of the nine games played between Conference teams this week- end as far as the high scoring race is concerned. Young, who until this week had averaged over sixteen points pea' game, scored a total of only eleven points in Purdue's encounters with Minnesota and Michigan. He must score 27 more points in the Boiler- maker's two remaining games in order to break the present Big Tenl record of 167.I Combes Holds Second1 Earl Combes, Illinois' stellar for- ward continued to hold second place by adding 21 points to his total over the weekend making it 104. The other Illinois man in the first ten, Louis Boudreau, continued in last place with 74. Ken Gunning, Mike McMichael, and Jake Townsend followed the leaders to continue holding the third, fourth, and fifth positions earned last week. Michigan's "Houdini of the Hardwoods" kept his fourth place by adding 13 points to his total in two games. McMichael and Gunning traded places. Gee Returns Johnny Gee came back into. the ranks of high scorer after an absence of 'a couple of weeks. He climbed' Will They Let Up Now? from twelfth place last week to his present position of ninth. Minnesota's sophomore stars, George Addington and John Kundla, with Iowa's Ben Stephens, finish the list of high men. Stephens climbed from ninth to sixth, Addington re- mained at seventh, and Kundla dropped from sixth to eighth.

In Columbus last Saturday Ohio State's Buckeye swimmers gave defi- nite proof that they are also a team to beat in the conference. In winning the meet 45-39, the var- sity was pressed to better two records. In addition the Bucks did their share of 'cracking in the record-breaking spree. The Wolverines crossed the line inf the 400-yard relay with a time of 3:33.4 to clip a second off the existing Intercollegiate record held by Yale. Tom Haynie, swimming the 220- yard free-style event for Michigan came in ahead of Woodford of the Buckeyes with a time of 2:14. The Buckeyes were able to take only three first places while Michi- gan took six firsts but was able to gain only three second places and two thirds. Ben Grady flashed his usual bril- liant form from the springboard. -a title that Michigan relinquished' last season after winning it in 1934- 35. Coach Edie Lowrey was confident1 as he and the team stepped on the Twilight Limited yesterday. The Wolverines are in better shape than they have been all season, and the day of rest between tonight's and Friday's game will benefit them more than it will the Norsemen who are much better fortified with reserve power. Regular Front Line T'o Start A disadvantage not to be over- looked, however is the size of the Minneapolis rink. The Arena there is almost twice as big as the Coliseum, and the Gophers with their three forward lines and change of defense can much better make use of their power on the larger sheet. Lowrey plans to start his front line of Heyliger, James and Fabello against the Gophers first string trio made up of Captain Ray Bjorck, Ed Arnold and Ridgeway Baker. Michigan's second line of Jack' Merrill, George Cooke, and Ed Chase will play part of the time against Minnesota's Wally Taft, Jimmy Carl- son, and Joe Schwab, and part of the time against a third brown shirted trio on which skate Ray Wallace, Kenney Anderson and Bob Randall. Are Outnumbered While Minnesota outnumbers Michigan 3-2 on the forward propo- sition, the odds are even greater on defense where Bob Simpson and Bert Smith must give and take it for 60 minutes while for the Norsemen Bob Carlson, Dick Kroll, Bill Breseson, and Bob Ganley can take turns at the blue lines. The Gophers will have their All- American goalie, Bud Wilkinson in the nets again, and with the memory of those eight goals still rankling in his mind, he will be even harder to beat than usual. Bill Chase, Michi- gan's minute man is stepping into the breech again against the Golden Gophers just as he did down here two years ago when Johnny Sherf and Heyliger paced the Wolverines to the i , t l I s schedule will decide the two years ago.
