THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wolverine Courtmen Drop Big Ten Opener To Illinois. 30-20 Problem Arises IntFinding Foe For Don SiegelInBoxing Show !jt By HERB LEVI If matchmakers Vern Larsen and1 Marty 'Levandowski can successfully solve a problem the solution of which has proved a particular nemesis to them during the past three years, then Michigan boxing fans who at- tend the campus boxing show spon- sored by Congress on Jan. 17, will get an opportunity to see one of the state's most promising young heavy- weight fighters in action. The problem child is big Don Siegel, 210 pound Varsity tackle, who be- sides rating All-American mention on the gridiron, has shown enough promise in the ring to be feared by all the ranking heavyweights in the district. Answers Call It all started three years back. Vern Larsen, frosh ring coach needed an opponent for his one available heavyweight prospect, a lad named Jack Peters. A hurried call for heavyweights was sent out and the six foot four gridder, eager to keep in training during the off-season, re- sponded, in spite of the fact that' he had never donned the gloves before. Don's debut was a huge success in spite of his inexperience. After pounding out an easy de'cision over Peters, the husky gridder looked for new worlds to conquer. It wasn't long before there wasn't a student in the University whom the coaches considered talented enough to give big Don a battle. Neighborhood ath- letic clubs had to be scoured to pro- vide a suitable opponent for him. Lone Defeat Siegel has come a long way since his freshman year. At present his record stands at 10 victories in 11 bouts, eight of these coming via the knockout route. The lone pugilist to hold a decision over Don is one Don Van of Jackson who decisioned the' star tackle when the atter was still. a beginner. Siegel has been clamor-j ing for revenge ever since but Van has managed to sidestep him thus far, refusing several offers to appear [in campus boxing shows. The high point of big Don's career came last March when he journeyed to Grand Rapids to meet up with the state's best, and came back with the Michigan Golden Gloves heavyweight title after he had been forced to fore- go the local Gloves tournament due to a football injury. Sponsored By Congress With each succeeding fight, it be- comes harder and harder to match Siegel. His former opponents are never interested in return matches. But nevertheless Larsen and Levan- dowski are hopeful. They will leave no stone unturned in their search through the clubs in the district for a suitable adversary for the giant foot- ball star, since it is their hope to fur- nish the fans with as good a show as possible. The ring card, sponsored by Con- gress, men's independent organiza- tion, for the purpose of providing seholarships for independent men, is to be held in Yost Field House. Price of tickets is 25 cents and 75 cents. Buckeyes Beat Hoosiers 45-38; Hull Paces Team COLUMBUS, jan 7.-(IP)-Un- beaten Indiana's basketball team fell before a fast, aggressive Ohio State quintet tonight in the initial Big Ten engagement for both teams, 45 to 38. . While 7,344 fans looked on, Ohio State staged an exhibition of speed and sharpshooting which the Hoosiers were unable to match, despite a fu- rious last-half drive. Dehner Leads Illinois Attack With 10 Points Back Injury Forces Rae To Leave Fray; Beebe, Thomas . Net Six Each (Continued from Page 1) bined with their front line handicaps, nullified their victory hopes. So tight did the Illini guard, and so far off was Michigan offensive- ly, that they were held to only seven baskets in the game. Three of these came within the last minute and a half when the visitors spurted briefly. Both teams substituted frequently, but Michigan could never organize its defenses against the Illini's meth- odical slow-breaking offense. Tom Harmon and Russ Dobson succeeded Rae in the center slot, but the latter was sorely missed, especially in the guarding of Dehner whom he watched in the first half. Harmon filled in for Rae in the first half and played all but five minutes of the second period.' Illinois, their offense modeled after the Michigan system under Cappie Cappon, with Dehner in the key spot which John Townsend formerly held for Michigan, played impressively and looked like an important factor in the grueling Conference race to come. The Wolverines squad of eleven entrained immediately after the game for Chicago where they will rest to- day in preparation for their engage- t. i PRESS PASSES By BUD BENJAMIN i G _.. s They're Backing Herc . . 0 ment tomorrow night with western.

T WO DAYS and two letters, almost enough to inflate the columnar ego. This one has an unusual twist but just to maintain our policy of printing about anything you readers have courage to tender, here goes. Dear Bud, The battle of the century, the the race for the prize of the title will be distinguished by the par- ticipation of one of the outstand- ing campus sports figures. Hear ye one and all, four Washtenaw houses are sponsoring, backing, aiding and abetting (without his asking us, too) Hercules Renda for the crown of QUEEN of the Ice Carnival. We feel that, since rever before has Michigan gone in for this queen stuff, we really ought to do it up well and make it something unusual if we are go- ing to start having our own royalty. To keep the record straight and as an active cam- paign manager, I feel that I should say that our candidate has not been consulted about the honors we wish to heap upon him. Michigan collegians, we give you Hercules Renda, our choice, and we feel sure your choice, for Queen of the Ice Carnival. Thanx for the hall, Bud. Yrs. Campaign Manager I understand that certain subver- sive influences around ye olde publi- cation bldg. are challenging this en- try with a well organized campaign to elect Jack Brennan, football adon- is. to this coveted position. Hey, girls, look me over! ' TRACK Captain Bill Watson. who is not enrolled in school this semes- ter, is a member of the Joe Louis en- tourage at Pompton Lakes, N.J., where the Brown Bomber is training for his impending championship fight with John Henry Lewis. Watson dropped the following lines to his buddy Bill Reed of the publicity department from his New Jersey camp. Hello Bill: Well I am here, and Im really enjoying my' job. This fellow Joe Louis is just like a tiger- my how he can hit. I'll give you some more dope later. B. Watson Bill, former Golden Glces chain- pion of Saginaw, is employed by Louis as a secretary. Joe is a keen ad- mirer of Bill and has watched his progress at Michigan intently. There have been rumors to the effect that when Watson graduates, he will en- ter the ring under the tutelage of John Roxborough, Julian Black, and Jack Blackburn, Louis' handlers. Watson will definitely return to school in February, however, and in- tends to get his degree. He is slated to enter a strong bid for a place on the 1940 Olympic squad.

Incidentally thoughts of old Kentuck' remind me that it's about time this corner congratu- lates a former employer, Fred Buesser, whose marriage to the former Betty Ronal was recently announced. An inveterate Derby fan, Freddie was a constant Louisville commuter before sett- ling down to Law School and to his present marital responsibili- ties. OTHER THAN SPORTS: No matter how ardent an anti-Nazi you may b, you can't help but recognize the vicious propaganda in a current article in "Click," one of the madder photo- mags . . . Entitled "To Hell With Lindbergh," the piece drags the heri- tage of Bruno Hauptmann into the Picture, describes the German am- bassador as "slinking back to Ger- many like a cur," and so obviously tries to build circulation that it loses any semblance of value . . . The style of the article is comparable to that of the "Voelkischer Beobach- ter," one of Herr Hitler's cruder sheets .It leaves one with the imnpres- sion that nothing is ever gained by calling people dirty names . . . Sign of the times: Visit the local malted milk emporium across from Angell Hall and for the sum of only a nickel listen to W. Lee O'Daniel, governor of the great state of Texas, sing "Con- grtulate Mc" on the nickelodian . . They have a pretty string band accompanying the ex-flour salesman . . For a dime you may be able to get Senator Bilbo crooning "You Must Have Been awBeautiful Baby" . . . This column heartily indoses the current movement to award the 1939 Nobel Peace Prize to Ferdinand the Bull . . . PICKUPS: Fritz Crisler, Clarence Munn, and Earl Martineau visit Muskegon Jan. 10 to address a ban- quet feting the undefeated and un- tied football team of North Muskegon High School . . . The Northside squad will be augmented by seniors of other local high schools . . . Mr. Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern Uni- versity is a frequent visitor to this mecca of football talent . . . They say that under Crisler last season Michigan played to 400,000 fans, the greatest number in the post-depres- sion era and netted $90,000 more than last year when $120,000 was made ... That's real sugar, boys and girls. THE 5NAISfER S The UNIVERSITY of MI C Michigan A.A.U.
