THE MICHI'GAN DAILY olverine Hockey Team Wins Over Illinois By 2-0 Sco Pucksters Win, Third Straight Over Illini Six Goldsmith And Ross Score Winning Goals; James Plays Leading Role . (Continued from Page 1) easily out-maneuvered Gillan at the net, Goalie Spike James turned in a brilliant performance for the Maize and Blue sextet. Time and time again he stopped shots that seemed certain goals as the Illini puckmen turned on a power play offense. Illinois outplayed the Wolverines for the greater part of the game on the slower ice of the Coliseum but lacked a scoring punch. The home sextet worked the puck down the ice in good form but was in dire need of - good shot-maker from close in. While this was Michigan's third consecutive victory over Illinois it was the first time that the Orange and Blue had been shut out. The Wolverines, although their season has been rather mediocre, seem to have what it takes when up against the Champaign puckmen. In a previous appearance in Ann Arbor the Illini dropped two games to the Lowrey- men. If Michigan can again out- class the Illinois sextet in the second game of the series this Saturday it will have hung up a perfect record against one of its opponents on the ice this season.

Track, Wrestling, Swim Teams Battle For Conference Crowns Ex-Michigan Athlete In Senators' Camp (Continued rrom Page 1) and Reinicker expected to follow along behind. Depend On Welsh Michigan has Jimmy Welsh for the middle distance events, and while that alone is sufficient, it isn't all. Over the 220 route, he'll swim along with teammates Tom Williams and Ed Hutchens. This is Hutchens' first go at the distance this year, but his workouts this week have shown that he will stay right with the leaders. Ohio has Johnny Patton, an ace sophomore in this event while Carl Ahlgren from Iowa, and Surles are other possible point winners. In the 440, it will be Welsh again against a field that includes Patton and Harold Stanhope of Ohio as well as Wolverine Blake Thaxter. The Michigan backstroke depart- ment with Beebe, Francis Heydt and Dick Riedl are the outstanding dor- sal artists here this weekend. With Stanhope, the defending champion, swimming the freestyle events, Ohio will depend on Elwood Woodling while Iowa has its co-captain Al Ambrus- ter to gather in a possible fifth. Michigan Relay Favorite In both of the relays, the Wolver- ines will enter highly regarded teams with past records marking them as almost certain winners. But when it comes to the diving and breastroke, Ohio has the defend- ing champions and the probable first places. Johnny Sharemet, the Mich- igan sophomore, has Isiggins to con- tend with and is likely to push the Buckeye past the present meet mark of 2:25.5. The diving will be all Ohio again, as Patnik and his teammate, Earl Clark, are favored to repeat their last year's one-two performance. Thinclads Slight Favorites In Conference Meet (Special to The. Daily) CHICAGO Ill., March 8-Mich- igan's track team begins defense of its Western Conference Indoor Championship tonight in the tni- versity of Chicago Field House faced with the hardest fight it has had in its stretch of successive titles. Trials in the dash, quarter-mile, r880, and the 70-yaid high hurdles will be held tonight, with the finals coming tomorrow, evening. Gunning For Michigan Beating Michigan has been the un- fulfilled hope of the other nine Big Ten schools for the past six years, with the Wolverines going on their merry winning way. But, this year both Indiana and Wisconsin come to the meet loaded with strength, and ready, willing, and of greatest importance, able to unseat the Mich- igan team. In their first year under the tute- lage of Ken Doherty, the Wolverines expect their well-distributed strength .to carry through to victory. They boast the only two men who are clear-cut favorites - Capt. Ralph Schwarzkopf and Don Canham. ' After Records Schwarzkopf, the nation's greatest collegiate two-miler, will be out af- ter the Conference record, and there is no reason why he shouldn't get what he wants. He has run 14 sec- onds under the present mark al- ready this season, and even though he will have no serious competition, should establish the new mark. High-jumper Canham has added a new style, new confidence, and greater strength since last year when he was second. He has twice bet- tered the existing Conference rec- ord, and it 'seems a foregone con- clusion that he will knock it off the books. Almost the co-favorite in the 440 is Warren Breidenbach whose duel with Roy Cochran should be one of the high spots of the meet. Coch- ran has broken the world record in this event by- more than a half-sec- ond this year. Added to this great duo ire the captains of Ohio State and Illinois, Jack Sulzman and Will McCown, respectively. Both are ex- tremely capable runners, and the clash between these four men should go down in Big Ten track history. Two Defending Champions The only defending champions r- turning are Northwestern's dash star, Myron Piker, and Michigan's one-mile relay team. Piker faces the challenges of Michigan's Al Smith, who lost to the Wildcat in a photo finish at Illinois, Minnesota's George Franck, and Chicago's former cham- pion, John Davenport. The Wolverine relay team comes to the test doped to finish no better than second or third. Injuries to three regular members of the team and to one of the substitutes have taken a sure thing from the Wolver- ine war chest. The Michigan strength which is being counted upon to turn the meet in its favor is composed of quarter- milers Jack Leutritz, half-milers Dye Hogan, Tommy Jester and Johnny Kautz; milers Ed Barrett and Jack Dobson; two-milers Brad Heyl and Will Ackerman; hurdlers Stan Kel- ley and Jeff Hall; and relay-team members Phil Balyeat and Bob Bar- nard. Others who may gather much- hoped-for points are pole-vaulters Charlies Decker, who might Tave been the favoite had he not in- jured his ankle two weeks ago, Dave Cushing and Jack McMaster; shot- putters Bob Hook and Tommy Law- ton, sprinters Carl Culver, Bud Piel and Bill Harnist; hurdlers Ray Gau- thier and Sherm Olmsted; half-miler Howie Egert; milers Karl Wisner; and two-miler Joe Daniels. Grap piers Given Outside Chance For Big Ten Title (Special to The Daily) Today and Saturday usher in an- other Western Conference wrestling championship. Grapplers from all Big Ten schools have converged on Chicago this weekend to decide the individual and team championships after a well scrambled season. Indiana stands alone as the team to beat, according to -Coach Cliff Keen of the Maize and Blue forces. The powerful Hoosiers overcame an early season injury handicap to de- velop the best team in their history. The 23 to 3 shellacking handed to the strong Michigan team last week- end is evidence enough that Indiana has reached its peak. May Topple Hoosiers Michigan, conqueror of Penn State, Michigan State and Navy, and salvager of a tie with Ohio Stalge, stands the best change of toppling the Hoosiers from the crown. Dis- regarding last weed's topheavy score, the Wolverines' strength lies.in the same weights as Indiana's. The in- dividual matches in the Michigan- Indiana dual meet were largely close affairs and withable matmen from other teams getting their share of points the Wolverines may slip in under the wire. Coach Keen has named outstand- ing men in the various weight brac- Elmer Gedeon, a Washington Senators outfielder, obligingly tries on a pair of the glasses that Mike Martin (left), Senators trainer, has developed to help the lads snag those high flies in the sunlight.

YALE has a fine swimming team. Yale has always had a fine swim- ming team. Undoubtedly, as long as Bob Kiphuth remains there as coach, it will continue to have a fine swimming team. With this off our emaciated chest, we'll quote from the Yale News of Feb. 29. "The one blot on the Eli's swimming record, of course, is the setback delivered by Michigan. There is no desire to belittle Michigan's well-earned victory, but since Yale did not have the advantage of a Christmas trip to Florida which was of no small significance so early in the season, one cannot help but wish that these two teams could meet again now that the Elis have reached their peak, "This wish will to some degree be realized when Yale will swim against Michigan, among other colleges, at the Intercollegiates. While this will not have the meaning of a duel meet, it will give Bob Kiphuth's men an opportunity to regain supremamy over their western opponents. (ed. note: reread that last sentence. Okay, now proceed). It might very well be that Yale could best Michigan in a dual meet. The facts might show that the Elis couldn't and the facts also show that when the two met earlier in the year, the Wolverines won, 46-29. Not exactly close but of course the Yalies kets and the ultimate champions will very likely come out of these classi- fications. Among the heavyweights is Sikich, Illinois, runner-up in the Nationals last year, andI Downes, Ohio State, Levy, Minnesota, and Jordan, Michigan, loom on the hori- zon. Inman, Indiana, Don Nichols, of the Wolverines, and Govedare, Illinois, are outstanding in the 175- pound class. The 165 crown will probably be decided between Mich- igan's Jim Galles and Conference champion McDanields, of the Hoo- siers. Danner Favored Harland Danner, Coach Keen's great 155-pound star, is the most likely choice for the Conference ti- tle. Meyer, Ohio State, the only Tpan to defeat Danner in dual competi- tion, and Janescu, Minnesota, also stand out. Bill Combs, Michigan, Montonaro, Ohio State, second in the Nationals, and Roman, Indiana, at 145 and Wilson, Indiana, Emmons, Illinois, and MacIntyre, O.S.U. at 136 are the cream of their divisions. Among the lightweights National champ Hansen of Minnesota, Anton- acci, Indiana, and Petrie, Illinois, at 126 and Tom Weidig, Michigan, Sef- ton, Indiana and Fredericks, Midwest A.A.U. champion, are outstanding. hadn't had the benefit of a trip to Florida. Sorry, we almost forgot that. Now, back to our real gripe. So Yale wishes to regain her swimming supremacy. If we're not too rude we'd ask when was Yale supreme? Back in the stone age? In the last three years Michigan has won all three meets. Michigan has been Na- tional Collegiate champion for the last seven years. Yale never was collegiate champ. Back in 1929 Yale whippel the Wolverines in a dual meet and also, during the thirties, rolled up 162 consecutive victories. In that time, the two schools met only at the Collegiates. At the risk of appearing repititious, Michigan has annexed the last seven Collegiate titles. On the basis of the record, the only supremacy Yale can regain is that of the Ivy League. By the way, we think Yale has a fair chance to win the Collegiates this year. I OUT of the past (and our mailbox) came these ghostly- postcards, one in the morning, the other in the af- ternoon.
