SATURDAY, TAN. 15, 1938 T HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE I.: -~,I I ASIDE - LINES 9 -- By IRVIN LISAGOR 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 ... A Good Man's Down .. .

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.

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.

Burke will carry on in the back-stroke while Bob Emmett, who will race in both sprint events, will anchor the medley trio. STRIKE! THE FINEST FACILITIES for Bowling are. to be found at your Union.
