Buckeyes Are
Strongest Foe
In Conference
Meet Will Start At 4:30;
More Records May Fall
As Team 'Seeks 'Kill'
Varsity Is Favored
Michigan's Varsity swimming team
encounters the powerful Ohio State
natators this afternoon in the final
home appearance of the Wolverines
for this season. The first event of
the meet will be called promptly at
4:30 p.m.
The Buckeyes, next to Michigan,
are the strongest tank aggregation in
the Conference this year. In the
first meeting of the two teams this
year the Wolverines found themselves
pressed in almost every event by the
underrated charges of Coach Mike
Peppe, and were only able to win by
the slight margin of six points.
Varsity Wil Open Up
Coach Matt Mann expects his rec-
ord-breaking crew to "open up" in
this second meeting with the Bucks
however and flash some of the speed
it. showed against Iowa last Friday
night.-
Today's meet may see more inter-
collegiate records fall by the board.
No one will be out to break any ex-
isting marks, but before the meet is
over chances are that a few more
record times will be erased from the
official intercollegiate docket.
Walt Tomski's entry in the 50 and
Ed Kiar's in the 100 virtually assures
Mjichigan firsts in these events. Bill
Farnsworth who finished fourth in
the 50 at Columbus only a stroke or
so .behind the first three should break
ito the scoring column in this event*
today. He has recorded times which
are much better than the 24.2 that he
turned in at the first meet with the
Buckeyes. ;
Grady Meets Patterson
Jimmy Patterson will find himself1
pushed very, hard by Michigan's Ben
Grady in the diving event. Patterson,
,ig Ten champion last year was vic-
torious over Grady by a very small
4iArgin in their last encounter and
Ben, like everyone else on the Varsity,
will be out to win.
The hottest race of the afternoon
will probable be staged by Fred Cody
of the Varsity against Bill Neunzig in
the 150-yard back-stroke swim.-
NTeunzig beat Cody in the first Buck-
eye meet but had to better the in-
teicollegiate time for the event to
tke first.
Varsity Favored In 440
With Tom Haynie and Co-captain
si'ank Barnard entered in the 220
asd 440-yard distances, the Wolver-
ines are strong favorites to win. Capt.
,Woodford of the Buckeyes is the
man, however who may give the
speedy Varsity members plenty of
trouble in these races. He placed
second in the 220 at Columbus, com-
ing in close behind Haynie. Baker
Bryant is also a dangerous man in
the 220 should Matt Mann decide to
enter him.
Michigan's relay teams, both the
medley trio and the sprint squad,
should win easily, and, of course, Jack
Kasley can be counted on for his us-
ual win in the breast-stroke event.
Every member of the Varsity is
determined to win his event. The
team is out, to swamp the Buckeye
aggregation by the largest possible
score. This meet, the last on the
home schedule, should turn out to be
the hardest fought contest that has
been seen this year against Big Ten
foes.

All eligible sophomores who are
interested in trying out for base-

Field House on either Wednesday,
March 3 or Thursday, March 4, be-
tween hours of 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Tiw Dit~ay's A It Conference Quintet

ROLEK

COMBES TOWNSEND
YOUNG
* * * *

By RAY GOODMAN
No, we don't believe that we have
allowed our school patriotism to guide
us in selecting the 1937 all-Big Ten
basketball team despite the fact that
we have awarded two places on the
first five to Michigan players.
This honor team was selected after
what we hope was an unprejudiced
comparison of the outstanding men
in the Conference and if we have
placed two of our own school's cagers
on it we believe we did so because
they are deserving and not because-
they aremembers of the Wolverine
basketball team.
Jake Wins Forward Post
Forwards-Jewell Young, Purdue's
record-breaking junior, and Jake
Townsend, Michigan's center-for-
ward, take the nod over such com-
petitors as Indiana's Ken Gunning,
Illinois' Louis Boudreau, Minnesota's
Gordon Addington and John Kundla,
N'orthwestern's Mike McMichael,
Wisconsin's John Rooney, and
Young's teammate at Purdue, Johnny
Sines.
Both Young and Townsend are
products of Indiana prep school
where they learned every trick in the
book. The two of them are the
most feared men in the Big Ten
and in their two years of competition
have showed that this fear is well
founded. Both are second year men
and will be back next year. In 1936
Townsend was chosen center on the
honor team.,
Gee Leads Centers
Center-This is the point for great-
est dispute. The choice was that of
putting Townsend back at center,
Harry Combes of Illinois at forward
and Tippy Dye of Ohio State in the
guard position that he held last year.
But then we had to give Johnny
Gee, Michigan's giant center the spot
because it is he who really deserves
it. Gee doesn't look pretty, his play
is not smooth,' he isn't a finished
basketball player. But he is the best
center in the Big Ten.
No one outjumped Johnny this
year. He averaged about nine points
a game, was always on the back-
boards, and possessed a spirit that
could not be denied. His improve-
ment in four years was one of the

i

most remarkable ever seen in the Big
Ten.
Behind Gee are such able men as
Bob Rigel, Illini captain, Earl Tho-
mas of Ohio State, Fred Fechtman
of Indiana, Bob Manly of Minnesota,
Northwestern's Gene Smith and Jake
Nagode.
Rolek, Combes At Guards
Guards-Martin Rolek of Minne-
sota's surprising Gophers, and Harry
Combes, another Illini,. look mighty
nice to us for the backcourt assign-
ments.
Frankly we were in a stew over
Rolek and his teammate/Dick See-
bach, but because the former is the
better offensive player of the two,
because he is key man in the best de-
fense in the Big Ten, and because
most of his opponents seem to favor
him we finally picked Rolek.
Combes is a combination forward

Pittsbuir gh Has
Host Of Stars
For Meet Here
John Woodruff, Olympic
800 - Meter Champion>
Leads Invaders
It will be a team of champions
that Coach Carl Olson brings from
the University of Pittsburgh this week
to face Michigan's title-bound thin-
clads Friday night in Yost Field
house and leading the powerful Pan-
thers will be the most colorful figure
in track, the long striding Johnny
Woodruff.
That Woodruff will give Michigan
men in the quarter and half mile
events plenty of worry is conceded,
but that Woodruff, Olympic 800 me-
ter champion, will win both races is
conceded by no one in Ann Arbor
and least of all the Wolverines who
will be running against him.
Woodruff Is Not "In"
Last week it was the national col-
legiate half-mile champion, Chuck
Beetham of Ohio State, who was
billed as the big attraction of the
Wolverine-Buckeye dual meet. And
Beetham, much to the satisfaction of
3,000 rabid Michigan fans, was forced
to take a second and third in the
quarter and half. Friday night Stan
Birleson will be out to explode all
the myths about "Woodruff the
Great" as far as the 440 is concerned
The Michigan-Woodruff duel will
not be the only high spot on the
card, however. All of the Michigan
seniors will be making their last ap-
pearance on the Field House track
and all of them are gunning for
records.
Stoller Is After Mark
Sammy Stoller and Bob Osgood,
who have tied the Field House marks
in the dash and the high hurdles
innumerable times, are aiming to set
untouchable records in these events.
Stoller has many times been clocked
in :06.2 for the 60 and Friday hopes
to equal his own record of :06.1 for
the route which he set last year in
the Conference meet.
Capt. Osgood will be out to break
eight seconds in the 65-yard highs
for the first time in Yost Field House
history and in doing so break his
own mark of :08 flat.
Pushing Stoller in the sprint will
be Alan Smith, Michigan sophomore,
as well as Dick Mason and Art Tho-
mas of Pitt. Mason is IC-4A 100 and
200-meter champion while Thomas
is the IC-4A indoor champion at 50
yards. In the hurdles Pitt will send
Andy Lasky and Ken Ryder against
Osgood. Lasky holds the all-time
Pittsburgh record for both the highs
and lows while Ryder, sensational
Panther sophomore, has come close
to both of these marks.
Broad Jump Held
For the first time in 25 years the
broad jump will be included on a
local dual meet card and here Mich-
igan fans will get their first real look
at Bill Watson in action. In both of
the meets this year Watson, in t
shot, has made but two tosses and t;e
fans have hardliy had a glimpse of
him. He, along with Stoller and
Smith, will carry the Wolverine hopes
in the broad jump and, as he shows
promise of being just as great a
jumper as he is a shot putter, Mich-
igan track enthusiasts seem to be in
for a real treat.
In the high jump Pitt will have at
least two men who are capable of
going far higher than 6 feet. Pete
Bennett won the IC-4A title at 6 feet
41/2 inches and "Red" Oden is re-
ported to be just as good a jumper.
Michigan has outscored its opponents
better than two to one this season
but to do this against Pitt the Wol-
verines will have to turn in their best
performances of the winter season.

that bulged the cord in the far corn-
er.
Just 36 seconds later Captain Hey-
liger laid a pass on Cooke's stick and
George made no mistake as he drilled
number three for Michigan.
James and Heyliger teamed up for
number four. The kill came when
the Beaver took Gibby's pass and
jammed the puck between the post
and Bibbing's skate
Heyliger scored again early in the
second stanza when James passed to
him as he stood on top of the unpro-
tected goalie. A minute later the
score was 6 on the best goal of the
night.
George Cooke smashed through the
defense on a beautiful solo effort and
although carried wide, burned a
waist high shot from an almost
impossible angle to add to Mr. Bib-
bing's woes.
James counted number seven on
a pass out from Fabello with less'
than three minutes of the third!
period gone. From then on play
picked up as London began to flash
something which looked like an at-
tack. The visitors finally scored
when Kenny McKay pounced on Bud
McFaddin's rebound to spoil a shut
out for Bill Chase.
Fabello and James broke a few
seconds later and the scoring was
ended for the evening when Fabello
got Michigan's eighth goal on a nice
pass play.
Finals To Be Held

By BUD BENJAMIN
What is the most essential feature
of a real athlete? The great majority
of fans would say ability. If a man
is good, if he can win consistently,
he certainly merits note in the ath-
letic world.
Monday night, some thousandeodd
fans, who turned out to witness a
thrill packed wrestling meet between
Michigan and Indiana's touted mat-
men, saw something a little deeper
than mere wins and losses in the
heavyweight bout between Michigan's
Jim Lincoln and Indiana's Bob Haak.
Lincoln lost - he never had a
chance. The huge 230 pound Haak
used his tremendous weight an;1
power to win an overwhelming vic-
tory over his lighter, unexperienced
opponent. But that's not the moral
of this opus, for in ,osing Jim Lin-
coln exemplified everything that
Michigan athletics stand for, and he
won one of the greatest ovations ever
accorded to a Michigan athlete.
Crucial Bout Begins
Here's the picture. Michigan and
Indiana, the arch contestants of the
mat are fighting it out tooth and
nail at the Field House. Michigan
at the culmination of seven tremen-
dous, blood-filled bouts is exactly,

four points to the good. A fall means
victory for the Hoosiers; a decision a
one-point advantage for Michigan.
As the bout begins, Jim looks like
the proverbial calf being led to the
slaughter. His immense opponent,
winner by a fall in every previous
bout, so completely stunts him in sta-
ture that Michigan fans ominously
groan in anticipation of a quick and
certain defeat
Jim Is Gamester
Jim, doesn't groan though. He
comes out gamely, a determined look
on his face. Before the first minute
is up he's down, with the giant prod-
uct of the Northern Indiana steel
mills applying the pressure in no un-
certain terms.
A fall seems imminent. Haak has
his mighty arm around Jim's neck in
a perfect half nelson-but Jiln
squirming, fighting, and clawing
finds a haven at the mat's edge.
Twice more the powerful Haak gets
deadly holds-on Lincoln. Twice more,
Jim squirms out. The tension is elec-
tric. Can hehold out? Once again
Haak gets that half-nelson. Jim
kicks, leaps and he's free-not only
free but in bask of his opponent and
there he clings until the closing horn
blares. The ten eternal minutes are
over.
No, Jim didn't win Monday night.
He never had a show. But Jim, with
one of the finest exhibitions of guts
that's ever been displayed, labeled
himself as a real Michigan athlete.
A loser who never heard of the .word
quit.

Indiana's Ernie Andres, Wisconsin's
