Northwestern and Purdue are safe-
ly ahead of the Big Ten pack for a
couple of weeks, but only because thea
midyear hiatus means suspended ac-c
tion for that period. This Confer-b
ence race is still as screwy as a ward-f
heeler's picnic, and no one realizes
that more than Michigan's itinerant
Wolverines.
Back home for exams, after a four-
game siege in other backyards which
netted a. 500 playing average, the
Varsity quintet knows what slender
margins exist between two representa-~
tives of this hippity-hop version of the
hardwood art.k
Both Battles Thrillers
Both the Wildcat and Buckeye
games of the past week-end resulted
in climactic thrillers with a bare fewt
points separating winner from loser.
It was a lone tally at Evanston, and
three at Columbus, which determined
the outcome; a wild fling or two inv
either case might have altered the
picture considerably.
Against Northwestern, which effec-
tivelymuffled Michigan's offense by
dropping its defense far 'back, the!I
Wolverines might easily have emerged
the victor, but for a pair of tough
breaks. Once, Jim Rae started a

Mann To Test Mack, Berg,
And McLurg In Place
Of Varsity Swimmers
The old will make way for the new
tonight at East Lansing when varsity
Swim Coach Matt Mann will test the
untried newcomers of his swim squad
in a dual meet with Michigan State.
ISuch mainstays as Captain Ed
Kirar, breast-stroke, Johnny Haigh
and diver Jack Wolin will not make
the trip to the Spartan stamping
grounds.
In their stead Michigan will be rep-
resented by Ed Mack, sophomore
breast-stroker, Bill Wreford, veteran
Imiddle-distance free-style swimmer
who did not take part in the sinking
of Indiana in the Wolverines' last
engagement. Dick McLurg, sophomore
back-stroker, and Art Bug, another
middle distance sophomore stroker.
Tomski, Emmett Set
Coach Mann, in naming his lineup
for tonight.s engagement; had Walt
Tomski and Bob Emmett set for sprint
dutty at both the 50 and 100-yard dis-
tances. Dick McLurg and Bob Burke
will race in the 150-yard back-stroke
event while Wally Creighton and Ed
Mack are listed for the 200-yard
breast-stroke swim.
The longer races will find Ed Hut-
chens, David Holmes, Burg, and Bill
Wreford sharing the brunt of the
task of winning. Just what men will
swim in each, the 220 and 440-yard
races, has not been decided.
Benham to Dive
The Wolverine relay teams will be
comprised of Hutchens, Holmes, Em-
mett, and Tomski in the 400-yard
free-style race, and Burke, Mack and
Emmett in the medley.
Hal Benham, highly regarded soph-
omore diver, will make his debut in a
Wolverine tank suit off the Spartan
low board as Michigan's co-represen-
tative in that event. Hanley Staley,
who took a second in the Indiana
meet, will be Michigan's number two
Sman.
successful underhanded shot, seem-I
ingly before his man fouled him. But
the official decreed otherwise and dis-
allowed the basket. On another oc-
casion, Jake Townsend negotiated a
basket from pivot, and again the of-
ficials intervened, claiming steps.
Tip-Ins Fail
But the toughest break came in
those final seconds, when, straining
madly, both Townsend and Dan
Smick were in perfect positions for
tip-ins and both muffed them. Dan
got an elbow in his eye, while Jake
contends someone must have pushed
him because "We just don't miss those
kind." And the big boy was sincere.
But it's perhaps unfair to the Wild-
cats to attempt to show how close to
winning Michigan came. Northwes-
tern missed 10 free throws, anyone of
which could have been an added dif-
ference. And that Lonborg defense

Monday night when Michigan's cag-
ers nosed out Ohio State at Columbus,
final statistics for the first semesterI
were added to the scoring columns of
the Big Ten's Big Ten. And at the
same time that the Wolverines were
gaining their victory Jake Townsend
was taking second place position in
the scoring race away fro.cm Purdue's
Jewell Young.
Just how long Jake is going to be
up on top, is of course problematical.
His 12 markers scored Monday gave
him a one-point margin over Young.
However the latter has garnered his
60 points in four contests, while
Townsend has needed six games to
accumulate his total of 61.
Perhaps its stretching the imagina-
tion a bit too far to suppose that
Jake can retain this lead or even in-
crease it when the teams start com-
petition again in a few weeks. The
odds are very -much against it. But
there is always the chance that Young
may happen to hit a slump, or what
is much more possible, that Mich-
igan's Houdini will start hitting his
stride again and be able to increase
his advantage.

impenetrable and in-
emphasis that Coach
have to develop more
of Monday night's tussle by virtue of
the ten points he scored at that time.
Pick Dehner's stock went into a
slight slump last Saturday, but is in
not any great danger just yet. The
Illini's center was held to a matter
of seven points by Ohio State, but has
still a 36-point lead over Townsend.
Eight schools have taken hold of
scoring guns when Townsend is en-
veloped as he was by Northwestern.
Even a fair long shot could have
reaped a harvest against that com-
pact 'Cat defense.
Boughner Hot
The efficacy of a long range artist
was clearly illustrated at Columbus,
where Dick Boughner, a hitherto in-
auspicious guard, got hot and hit the
basket with alarming regularity from
anywhere beyond the charity circle.
A n y o n e approaching Boughner's
marksmanship could have demoral-
ized Northwestern Saturday night.
But against Ohio State, Captain
Townsend, in no mood to tolerate Jim
McDonald on his frame, faked the
Buckeye captain silly a few times to
hook his baskets. In one stretch dur-
ing that game, Michigan, with Jake
bearing the brunt of the offense,
scored 15 points while the hosts were
notching goose eggs. But the Wolver-
ine captain could get only one basket
during the entire second half. Jim Rae
found the hoops thrice against the
Columbus boys, and that was heart-
ening in view of the failure of the sec-
ond tall man in the Varsity lineup
to get at least one from the field
against Northwestern.
Pivot Men Slump
Neither Rae nor Smick, who played
a large share of the fray, could man-
age a field goal against Northwes-
tern. And when your tall pivot men
aren't getting 'em you're in for a
rough evening.
Little Charley Pink, sophomore
speedster, stamped himself as a real
competitor during the latest road
jaunt. Against Northwestern, he
scrapped valiantly in those last mom-
ents. He's got that urge to do some-
thing, and moves all the time. Only
a tough double dribble prevented him
from breaking the hearts of Wildcat
fans as he dashed down the floor and
slipped a "dog" through the net. It
didn't count, but one of Charley's
game tries will figure one of these
days-and heavily, too.
It's still a screwy league.

Welters In Slugfest
The only bout which was fought in
the open division was between Warren
Hersch, Ypsi Normal champion, and
Ralph Holbrook of Chelsea who is a
former Golden Gloves title-holder.
Battling in the welterweight class,
Hersch and Holbrook put on one of
the best bouts of the evening.
Holbrook took the first round in an
aggressive fashion and seemed on his
way to a victory but Hersch then
opened up and floored his dusky foe
twice for long counts in the second
and again put him on the canvas
twice in the third round. The bout
was a slugfest throughout. However
it was a close decision.
In addition to the four knockout
wins scored by the University scrap-
pers, five others were chalked up dur-
ing the course of the 23 bouts. Alex
Aloe, Don Riley, Phil Donati, Cy

who turned the trick.
