An Unlucky number ...
INSCRIBED on the Field House
blackboard yesterday was this
message:
"Bill Barclay said last night-
'I have trained and looked for-.
ward to the Minnesota game all
season and now here I am washed
up.'-
"How about sending Bill a tele-
gram after the game up there and
be darned sure he can smile when
he reads the score." . .
,* *
His leg left encased in a plaster
cast, which had an ironical date on it
---1-13-38-Bill was in a philosophical
frame of mind when we visited him in
5-private at University Hospital ye-
terday.
"It's just one of those things," said
the curly-haired Flint athlete. "I
kinda wanted to make that Minnesota
trip. I'd been looking forward to it
since the season opened."
"Wanted another crack at 'em. af-
ter that football game, eh?"
Bill smiled and wiggled his big toe.
How long would he be laid up?
"They haven't told me any-
thing, but Ray Roberts said it will
be about six weeks. That probably
means I'm through with basket-
ball for the season. My father
doesn't want me to play until
I'm completely healed."
Bill's father and brother, Jim Bar-
clay, who coached him in basketball
at Flint Northern, had visited him
yesterday morning.
Bill gazed through his window and
his mood deepened. "Cappy was up
this morning and didn't make me feel
much better by telling me he intend-
ed starting me against Minnesota. It
wouldn't be so bad if I thought I'd
be sitting on the bench anyway "
"You'd probably feel twice as
bad, .Bill, if he told you other-
wise."
A chuckle trailed off into an
academic discussion. Bi's in the
engineering college and was
slightly perturbed by his protrac-
ted absence. "I've been to only
two classes this week."
Barclay's injury was a distinct blow
to Michigan basketball. To call him
a great competitor is to repeat a de-
scription applied not infrequently
since he reported for football as a
spindly-legged, frail-looking sopho-
more Against odd's which might eas-
ily overwhelm a less doughty man,
Bill matched a rich store of what
the phrase-coiners like W call
"moxie," and emerged with top hon-
ors.
This succinct summary charac-
terizes Barclay, the cager: "When
we're three points behind and
less than a minute to play, give
me Barclay-he'll bag those two
baskets." Coach Cappon said
that.
Only a letter award missed in
basketball as a sophomore pre-
vents Bill from becoming one of
those Michigan rarities-a nine-
letter man. "And basketball was
the one sport in which I was
supposed to be playing the most
here at Michigan; yet, I've played
least of it."
An accomplished golfer, Bill putted
himself into the National Collegiate
semi-finals last summer after beat-
ing the favorite, Willie Turnesa, of
the famous fairway family. His oth-
er sport was, of course, football. With
just the proper mixture of nerve and
dash, he overcame a slight physique
and lack of exceptional speed. Though
only a part-time halfback last fall, he
piloted the Wolverines in 1936 and
ably understudied Capt. Bill Renner
in 1935.
Bill was again looking through
the window, across the wide,
snow-clad expanse. A cloud of
smoke could be seen in the dis-
tance as a steel caterpillar chug-
ged in from the East. "Pretty
soon, the boys'll be boarding one
of those," he said somewhat sad-
ly, "and as soon as they get on
they'll start a game of hearts.
They've got that game boiled
down to a science." Bill owns a
reputation of being one of the
better 'hearts' players.
This Minnesota Jaunt is the first
trip he's missed as a member of a
Varsity team since Christmas of his
sophomore year.
Before leaving, we autographed
Bill's plaster cast, and there was
nothing much he could do about it ...

concerned, however, in his two games
this year, only six points being credit-
ed to him.
Kundla's supporting cast is of high
calibre. At the other forward post
will be Gordon Addington, a reliable
veteran and a good floor man. Robert
Manly will probably get the nod at
center although Ed Spear has also
been used in this spot. The guards
are Paul Maki and George Nash-
both experienced in Big Ten compe-
tition.
The Gophers have been hard hit
by the loss of Marty Rolek, one of
their main cogs last season. He has
been benched by injuries. Harold Van
Every, Minnesota's grid ace, is among
those reserves certain to see action.
Wolverine hopes will again pivot
around their incomparable captain,
John Townsend. Jake has accounted
for 24 points in the Conference this
year despite the fact that he has been
a marked man in every game played.
His passing, floor work, and general-
ship have left nothing to be desired.
Pairing up with Townsend in the
front line is Jim Rae, rapidly devel-
oping sophomore. Inexperienced at
the outset of the season, Rae's play
has improved in every game. His work
against Ohio State, in which game he
tallied 11 points to lead the scorers,
was by far his best effort of the year.
The back line men will be Herm
Fishman, Leo Beebe, and Ed Thomas,
who had been alternating with Bar-
clay prior to the latter's injury.
Game time tonight is 8 p.m. (CST).
A capacity crowd is expected to be on
hand as Gopher and Wolverine meet
again in heated Conference combat.

On Air This Week-end
If you can get your old four tuber
tuned up to any sort of a receptive
key tonight, try 790 kilocycles for a
play by play description of the Minne-
sota, Michigan basketball game.
WCCO Minneapolis will carry it at 9
p.m.
On Monday night, the Michigan,

at 9 p.m. also.
Lash Seeks Record
In Meet Tonight
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-(P)-Don
Lash, sandy-haired Indiana iron man,
will make his first official record at-
tempt of the Indoor track season to-
morrow night at the 69th Regiment
A.A. meet in the regimental armory.
The Hoosier is one of the five en-
tries in the Joyce Klmer two-mile
special. But it's the 3,000-meter mark
of 8:26.4 credited to Paavo Nurmi,
rather than the two-mile standard
which he himself set last winter, at
which Lash will be aiming.
Ranged against Lash, who also will
seek to lower the citizens' 3,000-meter
record of 8:27.4 set by Archie San
Romani a week ago, will be veteran
Joe McCluskey, national 5,000-meter
champion who ran one of the best
races of his career last week.
San Romani and Glenn Cunning-'
ham, crack mile rivals, are entered
in separate events.
