Here A Matmen Meet
Ihks CIn Columbus
Charlie Hoyt's latest track crea-
tion will receive its first taste of'
rough-shod Big Ten competition to-
night when number one Wolverine
rival of the cinder lanes, Ohio State,
invades the Field House.
Under the astute guidance of Larry
Snyder, a man of determination and
resource whose greatest joy is win
over Michigan, the Bucks take the
track an exceedingly formidable foe
set to wreak all the havoc possible,
win, loose, or draw.
With a decisive win in their first
meet safely tucked in the record book,
the Wolverines, under a no less deft
Charlie Hoyt and appearing some-
what more powerful over-all intend
to preserve their Conference title
dreams yet a while longer regardless
of what Ohio State feelings they
have to trample.
Heading the Buckeye expditionary
forces is Olympian Dave Albritton,
co-holder of the world standard in
the high jump who also works with
considerably less brilliance in tP
high and low hurdles where he will
run afoul of Michigan's crack timber1
team of Gedeon and Kelley.
440, 880 Toughest
The most crucial events of the meet
for the Hoytmen appear to be the
440 and 880. In the shorter race
Doug Hayes and Ross Faulkner face
the smooth running veteran Harley
Howells. Credited with a sub-48
second race outdoors where he is at
his best, Howells teamed with sopho:
more "Silent" Knight will give the
Michigan runners a strenuous eve-
ning.
Another veteran-sophomore com-
bination faces Michigan in the 880
at which distance the O.S.U. per-
formers are Dick Squire, second in
the outdoor Big Ten meet last year,
and Bob Cooperrider. Attempting to
split the Buck combine will be Tom
Jester and Bill Buchanan who last
week finished 1-2 with inches be-
tween them.
Tn the mile and two-mile Larry
Snyder has a number of .onscientious
but uninspired performers at his cis-
posal. Headed by Bill Benner and
Jim Whittaker,. the Bukeyes will be
hard put to do better than place and
show against Michigan's sophomore
distance ace, Ralph Schwarzkopf in
the two-mile and Harold Davidson in
the mile.
Watson A Point-Getter
Big Bill Watson may add five points
in the sprint to his customary five in
the shot. Running for Ohio, Paul
Garrett, who ran second in a 6.5
heat when the Bucks trimmed Il-
linois last week and Bob Lewis, third
in the Conference 220 last season but
a slow breaker indoors, may be able to
head the ponderous Negro star.
Practically a sure thing in the pole
vault is Jim Kingsley, Michigan's
slightly built up-and-over artist who
topped 13 feet last week and has
shown himself capable of a 13 foot 6
inch effort since. Good but not quite
good enough for Albritton is Wolver-
ine Wes Allen who nevertheless will
give the great Buck a stiff battle.
Never beaten until the tape is brok-
en but lacking a Birleson or an Os-
good to take the stick for them the
Michigan rally will have to show a
considerable reduction of time elapsed
to nose out Sulzman, Robinson,
Knight and Howells in the finale.
The meet gets under way at 7:30
p.m .and will include, besides the
regular events, the finals of the Inter-
Fraternity half -mle relays and a spe-
cial 12 pound shot put in which Bill
Watson will be aiming at the 60 foot
71f inch world's record.
Hatmen Favored
Seeking their sixth consecutive win
of the season, Coach Cliff Keen and
his Wolverine matmen will face a
strong Ohio State team tonight on
the hdome mats of the Buckeyes at
Columbus.
Due to the slight shoulder injury
of co-captain Earl Thomas, and re-
cent illness of Paul Cameron, the
Michigan squad will not be at full
potential strength when they come
up against the Scarlet delegation.
Speicher After Seventh
Co-captain John Speicher, Coach
Keen's entry in the 118 pound class
will be after his seventh straight win
of the season when he comes against
Varney of the host team. Going on
the past performances of these two
men Speicher should be able to start
the Wolverine's score off with a de-
cision and more than ikely a pin.
Should Paul Cameron be unable
to carry, the Wolverine colors in the
126 pound class, Jim Laing will get
the call to woi k in this division. This
would be Laig's first appearance in
a meet and in either case the Michi-
gan man will come up against Hall
of Ohio State.

Hockey Teai Must Defeat
G;Ophers To Shart' Tit1e:
eagers sM eet ow I
Can Michigan tike tihe Musota
hockey team to camp this evening and
gain at least a tie for the Big TenI
ice crown? The Wolverines have the
ability as they definitely showedj
Thursday night when they put them-
selves two points ahead early in the
third period even though they did
lose.
But will they? That's pure conjec-
ture.
Minnesota had a defense that was
almost invincible but Michigan dem-
onstrated that the Gophers' hefty sec-I
ondary can be cleared. If the Wol-
verines' Fabello-Allen-James line did
it Thurrday they can surely repeat the
process tonight. And once past the
defense-.
Big Crowd Expected
From the size of the previous crowd,
there can be no doubt that the Fifth
Street Coliseum will be anything but
tightly jammed with another mass of
vociferous out-for-blood fans.
The absence of a second line center
hindered Michigan a great deal and
will again be a major problem. With
Everett Doran ineligible, Les Hill-
berg was shifted to center and did well
considering his inexperience at the
post. George Cooke was put at right
wing and Ed Chase flanked on the
left.
The Wolverine first line performed
for over three-quarters of the entire
60 minutes and it is likely that it'll
be called on to do the same tonight.
In a game like Thursday's, which con-
tained so much bodily contact and
bruising bumps, the line displayed a
great deal of stamina.
Allen Leads Scoring
Smack Allen stepped ahead of team-
mate Gib James in the Michigan high
scoring race but only by a narrow
margin of one point. Cib raised his
total to 29 by means of a pass on
which Allen scored. Allen gained the
extra notch by passing to Johnny
Fabello.
Minnesota's biggest weakness lies
in the goal tending department. Pee-
Wee Petrich was saved at times from.

Adolph Fer stenfeld and Hanley Stal-

action, pressed too hard and finished
in the runner-up and fourth place
slots. Ferstenfeld lost by a two point
margin to Arnie Christens of Iowa
and brought about his own dooml
with a "crack-up" in the cutawayf
dive.
Captain Kirar, closely pursued byl
his teammate, Walt Tomski, tied thel
pool and Big Ten record in the 50_
yard dash with a time of :23.4. Both
Wolverines were well out in' front of
lengths.
Francis Heydt, who started the
Iowans on the victory trail in the'
300-yard medley relay, gave his team
a first in the 150-yard backstroke
event, finishing in 1:40 flat. Harry
Rieke, Michigan's best dorsal splash-

Lash's Successor ..
They contend at Indiana that Don
Lash's immediate successor has been
ound in the person of Tommy Deck-
ard, slender distance man. Against
)hio State a fortnight ago, he ne-
gotiated the mile in 4:15.5 and came
back 40 minutes later to do the two
mile in 9:31.5. Last Saturday, he
shaved his two-mile time down to
9:27.8, and clipped more than a sec-
>nd from Lash's Indiana Field House
record in the mile with a 4:12.8 mark.
Deckard will have to keep whittling
n his two-mile time before he en-
counters Ralph Schwarzkopf, Michi-
--7-
Ann Arbor, what happened with
the tlackhawks, etc. So geaver
implores us to tell the inquisitive
gentry that he received his un-
conditional release from the Chi-
cago Pros, and that he returned
to Ann Arbor for removal of his
tonsils. But the operation will
have to await its turn as he is
busy now with a throat infection.
Meanwhile, graduate work
seemed to offer a worthwhile oc-
cupation.

one tele-
classes the fate of both teams will
be determined. Jim Mericka may be
the Wolverine representative in the
135 pound division against Tuckey of
the Buckeyes. So far this season-
Mericka has entered two matches and
won both of them by falls,
Nichols Seeks Sixth.
Harold Nichols, who has made the
greatest improvement of any in-
dividual on the Wolverines so far this
year, will be out for his sixth win of
the season when he meets Mindlin of
Ohio State in the 145 pound class.
The outstanding match of the eve-
ning will feature Michigan's Har-
land Danner showing his unorthodox
methods against Peltier of the Buck-
eyes. Both of these men have perfect
records to their credit, although
Danner's list of wins is much more'
impressive than that of his opponent.
With the improved showing of
Dick Tasch Coach Keen hopes to'
cash in on the upper weight divisions.
Tasch will carry on in the 165 pound I
division and his rival will be Hucken,
who lost his first match of the season
against John Ginay of Illinois. Ginay
defeated Danner in last year's Big
Ten meet.
175 Pounders Good
-Nichols will attempt to keep
his slate clean when he faces Art
Boehun, Ohio State's candidate, in
the 175 pound class. Both of these
men have impressive records so fur
this season but Boehm has a slight
edge by virtue of his greater exper-
ience.
The heavyweight class will find
Tim Hird of the Wolverines working
against Captain Downes of the Buck-

the Varsity might well turn back to

if Townsend has a little room to move
