I THUIRSDA-i% jAN. 2" , THE MICHIGAN DAILY .. __._------____1-... -*ASIDE'- *LINES* 1- 'Sy IRVIN LISAGOR - Please, Mr. Athletic Board! OR peace of mind and the privacy of our boudoir, we beseech Michi- gan's athletic board to hasten the announcement of its new football coach as we can't hold out much long- er. Being buttonholed on the street by inquisitive people never really bothered us, for we could feign total ignorance and review an elementary French course in the same breath with a "Je ne sais pas." Reading letters, re- markable for their sameness, re- quired but little time and wasn't par- ticularly irksome. Appeasing the sharp curiosity of friends at "602" was sometimes a task, but by hastily encouraging a "barber shop" siesta we could easily divert them. But, gentlemen, when our sanctum sanc- torum is invaded, we feel sufficiently justified to appeal to you publicly and confess shamefacedly that we've reached the end of our rope. Last night, a horrible night- mare assailed us, and unable to attach a Freudian concept to it, we could divine only one thing: SOMEONE IS TRYING TO COERCE US INTO REVEALING THE NAME OF THE NEW COACH. We don't want to talk, honestly. But when we're har- ried in our sleep by grisly, grue- some ghosts, we're tempted to give up those ghosts and blurt out our secret pronto. Hooded wraiths with brown, clammy hands flitted through our room . driving nails into an ominous looking scaffold. .. wheezing as a man with asthma... They bound our hands with the bedsheet and used the pillow slip for a gag . .. strapped us on a vertical board 'and tenderly stroked our cheeks with their cold, moist hands . No one spoke . . . The Stygian darkness grew awesome with silence but the stroking continued . Suddenly, one yanked the gag from our mouth, almost jerking a molar with .it . . . And in frightening uni- son, with their lavender-hued fin- gernails jabbing our jugular, shrieked: "WHO'S THE NEW COACH?" Fear, gentlemen, almost caused a breakdown, but ever stoical, we kept our yap shut and hoped for a hairbreadth harry rescue. Then we began to quiver with such volcanic force that a seismograph in the roam would have gone completely haywire. "Get up, Stum! Get 'up," someone rasped. It was Roomie Larson, pounding us on the back with a coat han- ger. So you see, gentlemen, this thing may develop into a phobia of some sort. And with exams coming on, we'll need every mental resource, if any. We don't want to appear sud- denly weak and arouse suspicions that we might reveal our secret, but the end's in sight unless something drastic is done immediately. Maybe you could just hint the new coach's name and relieve us of our burden. We ask you with honest reverence, save us from these horrendous ap- paritions. And please hurry, for to- night they're liable to bring the Sha- dow with 'em. And then what ? ? ? Blackhawks Purchase Shill From Americans CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-()-The Chi- cago Blackhawks in the midst of a re- building campaign and a fight to re- tain their National League hockey playoff chances, announced tonight the purchase of left wing Jack Shill from the New York Americans. Shill, who also has played with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins, is expected to arrive here to- morrow. atators SweepEvery EVent To Down State, 67 Wait Tomski, Ed Hutcheins Lead__Varsity Relay Team Sets New Pool Record; State Garners But One Second Place (Continued from Page 1) long lay-off of competition due to recent injuries.

When, during the third round, form took definite precedence over ac-; tion, Referee Let Philbin was heard to mutter: "Come on boys, some- body's gotta win." Smith was given the final decision. Almost Scores A Self-Knockout In the wildest contest of the night Don Riley of Dexter and John Bishop of Jackson went at it tooth and nail. In the first round Riley wound up to let fly with a right but Bishop stepped back to avoid it. This didn't stop the former however and he cut loose with, an uppercut that he had trouble stopping when it missed by two feet, almost falling flat on his back.

The Balinese were not greatly im- pressed by the ancient pastime, he said. C _j 5, least one player who is up with the top scorers. The Boilermakers have an offensive record of 42.5 per game while the Illini have averaged an even 40 marks. But the average number of points per game for all Conference quintets is only 36.2. Lowest average goes to Minnesota with 30.8 counters per contest. Wolverines Best Defensively On the other side of the picture Michigan has the best defensive rec- ord. The Wolverines' opponents have been able to garner only 29.3 points per game. At the other ex- treme the Chicago squad's adversaries have been able to mark 50.3 times on the average. Average defensive record for all schools is 37 points. All of this simply goes to prove that the elimination of the center jump has not speeded up the game to any appreciable degree. A few scores have been high, but usually this has only occured when both squads lacked adequate defensive ability. Those I . I ,f .
