The second period found Michigan turning back the one Iowa threat and then going on to soundly wallop the Hawkeyes, who became completely demoralized as the contest grew older. With Harmon, Thomas, Pink and Leo Beebe all contributing the Hawk- eyes never had a chance. Dick Evans, substitute center for Iowa, dumped in a short one from beneath the bas- ket, butaHarmon evened that a moment later and the Wolverines drew away to a 38 to 27 lead early in the period, Anapol and Tommy Lind forwards, contributing Iowa's only points. Stephens' inability to play cost him the scoring leadership of the con- ference. Before the game started he was leading Pick Dehner o' Illinois by two points with a total of 56 points gained in conference play. He was reported by Dr. W. W. Shayne, team physician, to be suf- I fering with a fever of 102 degrees, and also a badly infected throat. He occupied the Iowa bench throughout the entire game. The Wolverines outplayed Iowa in every department of the game. They capitalized on 21 of their 70 shots at the basket, while Iowa could hit only 12 times in 71 attempts. Sloppy ball handling, combined with the speed of the Michigan forwards also con- tributed to the Hawkeye downfall.

Nation-wide drives by such organ- izations as the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce and The Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association, in addition to separate campaigns by the individual sports committees, al- ready have assured sufficient funds for all but one of the winter sports teams and promised more of the same for the summer teams. Since the winter games come first on the calendar, financing of their teams was the more urgent problem. With the exception of the bob-sled- ders, it is such no longer. The United States Figure Skating Association has agreed to under- write its team of seven, to be chosen on the results of the present National Championships at St. Paul and the North American Championships at Toronto, Feb. 3-4.

Until that time, collegiate wrestling had been flinching incessantly from such sharp and degratoryremarks as, "It's too dull for me to even sit through," "These college fellas go to it at a snail's pace compared to the pros," and "What satisfaction does a guy get from winning a match by merely sitting on top of the other fellow?" The officials in charge realized that the popularity of collegiate wrestling would wane so long as the sport did not please the fans. Accordingly, they set out to liven up the game, and provide a real incentive for the wrest- lers themselves to give all they have in order to earn the decision. Matches -Dragged In former years, college grapplers were content with riding or staying behind their man in order to win a match, for the rules so allowed. The time advantage was all-important. The wrestlers may have gone for it, true, but the fans didn't and that's what counts if a sport is to keep its head above water. I Last year the rules committee' initiated a point system whereby each, wrestler is awarded a certain num- ber of points for executing attacks and counter-attacks. The result has been that the boys now find a real incentive behind their matches. The opportunity to pile up more points than the other fellow appeals to them, and has speeded the sport con- siderably, so that a great majority of the matches are now replete with un- anticipated thrills. Point System Method Here is the way the point system works: (1) Two points are awarded to the man who takes his opponent to the mat and goes behind him. (2) One point is awarded to the man who succeed in breaking his opponent's hold and escapes. (3) Two points are awarded to the man who escapes from his opponent's hold and suc- ceeds in taking him down or going behind him. (4) Three points are awarded to the man who secures a /near fall on his opponent, only to. have the latter escape from this per- ilous position. (5) One point is awarded for every minute that a man rides his opponent, i.e. stays behind and on top of him. The Intercollegiate Wrestling Asso- ciation has added more measures this year in an effort to make the sport even more speedy and interesting to watch. Hereafter, any stalling on the part of a wrestler automatically makes him liable to disqualification by the referee, and furthermore, the same goes for any wrestler who goes off the mat with the intention of9 making a fresh start. bending beside him with a reassuring: "Want me to hold your hand, Hutch" . . .Ed answered with a smile that seemed to take more effort than his 100 yards did . . . Can you forget the way Hutchens' teammates dove into the water to embrace him, duck him, splash him, and perhaps even kiss him? . . . All four of the Michigan relay swimmers were "dished" . . . It was the third race of the evening for Beebe, Barker, and Holmes, and Hutch had the fastest 100 yard dash man in the country on his tail . . . Thei crowd went completely mad at the close, for the finish was photographic . . Two of the three judges called the relay a tie, but the head judgef gave the decision to Michigan . . The explanation offered by starter Clarence Pinkston to Ohio Coach Mike Peppe was that Quayle, in reaching? for the finish, was short with his last stroke and had to push along under water to touch . . . Superfluous note :-Peppe didn't agree . . . Pinkston said there was no overruling the head judge unless it was a split decisiont Peppe countered that there is no head judge in a relay . . . Superfluoust note:-The decision stood. ADD ORCHIDS -To Charley Barker for that tremendous relay lap To Jim Welsh who has three enviable years ahead . . . To John Haigh for his great effort in the breaststroke . . . To Al Patnik who didn't make a real mistake all evening . . . Al got four 10 point ratings from the very discriminating judge (that's perfect you know) . . . Pinkston, an Olympic diving champ, calls Patnik and his. team- mate Earl Clark "America's two finest divers" . . . Add a salute to Hal Benham for his excellent diving against top competition . . . And to Beebe and Barker who are just what the doctor ordered-plus! And of course to Matt Mann for his effervescence, for his indomitable determination to win, for his ever present sportsmanship, and for his unquestionable coaching genius. IN BETWEEN SPLASHES:--Sat next to an excited Fielding H. Yost who kept sizing up the crowd with an appraising eye and audibly winced when Mann passed with a "told you to build me a bigger pool, Coach" . . . Don't be surprised if the Board starts really considering the move . . . Yost was "berling" at half-pint Peppe when the latter played a stalling game before the 440 . . . Labeled him as "a durn little jack rabbit" . . . Stanhope hadn't been out of the water long after swimming a beautiful race in the backstroke, and he obviously wasn't ready for 440 duty . . . After a lot of bench strategem, all directed at giving Curley a rest, the swimmers took their marks . . . Of course El Woodling, Curley's teammate, jumped the gun to give Stanhope further rest, but the poor guy fell in with Woodling, to the delight of the Miehi- gan bench . . .' Matt yelled a "what's the matter, Curley, tired?", and poor Stanhope answered with a half-hearted smile . . . He dropped out after 10 laps . . . They say Haynie, who hasn't reached top form yet, is the only man in the Conference who can beat Welsit. THE LAST LAP:-Jack Kasley was "riding" John Higgins before the start of the breast-stroke from his perch on the high-board . . . With the Ohio bugaboo out of the way and exams almost here, there was nevertheless no holiday for the swimmers last night as Matt took them to Buffalo for an exhibition . . . Detroit society was conspicuous in the good seats and they cheered vociferously . . . In fact the only time the crowd was quiet was during the diving . . . Patnik unflatteringly calls Quayle "coon dog" . . Paul Warren, sports editor of the Ohio State Lantern, barged over to the press table just before the opening gun, and sat on about six inches of bench . . . He tells me that Stanhope, a really fine back-stroker, used to be an average swimmer but much too pudgy to take seriously . . . He's lost 20 pounds since Beebe last beat him in the A.A... . . Haynie keeps fretting about the Yale meet which he says will be "tough" . . . All three judges unanimously gave second place in the breast-stroke to Alex McKee although the crowd figured Haigh had won by a shade . . . Johnny butterflied all the way while both Higgins and McKee switched to the old orthodox style for rest . will meet Dick Metz, Chicago, who won from Marvin Ward, Olympia, Wash., amateur today, 3 and 2. A hole-in-one gave Coltrin a one stroke lead at the end of their first mine. Smith sank a 20-foot putt for a birdie 3 on the 11th to even the match. He went one up on the 13th, two up on the 14th where Coltrin hit his second into a trap to end up with a bogey 5. A 30-foot putt rolled in for Smith on the 16th, giving him a birdie 4 on the 566-yard layout and he coasted out by halving the 17th in par 5. Meet Me at the Sugar Bowl-1 a- 4i FOOD FOR A KING!
