With few exceptions the State mer- men will face the same team that swallowed up the previously unbeaten Iowa Hawkeyes, 63-21 here last Satur- day night. Two new faces, however, will be injected into the diamond- studded Wolverine lineup. Swimming in their first meet under the Michigan banner will be Francis Heydt, the Iowa transfer, and Larry Wehrheim, a sophomore who recent- ly returned from the limbo of ineligi- bility-. With the addition of Heydt, Mann now has three backstrokers who can break 1:40 with ease. This is far too great an assignment for the Spartan dorsal agents to handle. Capt. Eddie Ochocinski, and sophomores Don Far- mner and Ken Turner, all find it diffi- cult doing better than 1:50 for the event. Wehrhelm will team up with Blake Thaxter to take care of the Wolver- ine quarter mile duties, giving junior Jim Welsh, the distance ace, a day SWith Welsh at home, the long awaited duel between sophomore Gus Sharemet and National Collegiate sprinting champion Charley Barker will finally take place, but over the 220-yard free style route. Coach Mann will experiment with his speed- demons over the longer distance "just to see what they can do." Strange distance or not, the two Wolverines will have no trouble taking care of the Spartan swimmers, Himmelein and Al Harris. . In the sprints Mann will use Ed Hlutchens, Bill Holmes, Tommy Wil- liams and John Gillis against the mediocre State performers, Dale Han- sen, Huntley Johnson, Farmer and Don Ladd. John Sharemet and John Haigh, the Wolverine breastrokers, will have an easy time tonight against Ladd Loomis and Lee Grant, the Michigan State aces. For the diving event, Capt. Hal Benham, Jack Wolin and Strother "T-Bone" Martin will all be on hand to outmaneuver Daubert's best, Len LaFrance and George Rogers, giving another Spartan demonstration of "the best that is none too good.", With the pool in the new Jennison Gymnasium still in the process of construction, tonight's meet will take place in the old Spartan 30-yard tank. Wolverines Miss 14 Foui IShots; Fisher Leads Scoring With 9 Points (Continued from Page 1) 8-3. But that started a 12-minute Wolverine scoring drought while Pur- due was pulling away. Dan Fisher, high scorer of the evening with a measely nine points, showed how it Iwas done by netting four foul throws in a row. Then John Tierney faked Brokan out of position and sank a push shot to send the Boilermakers out in front, 9-8, and from then on they were never headed. Fisher and Tierney both counted from the field and with three min- utes to play Wood notched one for IMichigan as the half ended with the scre, 13-1, in favor of the invaders. The second half had barely opened when Purdue lengthened its lead with Beretta counting first a free- throw and then a basket on a quick break. Rae was fouled, by the very unpopular Elwood Yeager and to the amazement of all concerned, he made it Itswas thenly succes any Wol-s in the second half. From then on the scoring was spo- radic with both teams alterx'ating. Brogan and Pink both connected on long prayers and the latter also tossed in his favorite left-handed hook shot. While they were having their little fun, the crowd was al- ternately watchng Pru scr and joyed both, this putting him one up bon he crowd which enjoyed only the Both teams started the game by checking at half court and even in- side its opponent's territory. But even this didn't appear to open up either club's defense. * * * * Mike Sofiak suffered a gash over I his right eye four minutes before the half ended when Fisher came from behind him and stole the ball. It was bleeding badly and the cut was reopened in the second half again. Both times he was taken from the game. That might be why he missed each and every one of his five foul attempts. * * * * Six-foot three-inch Dan Fisher Cooch's Commyents . BACK from the Illinois Relays over the weekend, Ken Doherty and his Michigan track sqad were hard at work against yesterday. There appears to be no rest for the wicked and the track men-not that there is any nexus between the two. But in spite of the fact that the Wolverines failed to annex as pmany individual tities as they did last year. Doherty was satisfied with the show- ing ,,We did as well as we expected to do," he said. "After all, we went down there knowing just what we could do. We did that well. So we showed well. The others might have been a little stronger than we expect- ed but as far as our ;eam was con- cerned, I'm well satisfied." Doherty had a few notes scrawled on his cuff (not literally-Mrs. Doher- ty would never stand for it). But his few pertinent observations on the Relays should have some value. "Michigan scored in every event in which she entered ex- cept in the shot put. here Bob hoo0k put 47 ft., 5 in., his best effort of the current season. Michigan scored two firsts (the pole vault), three seconds, two- thirds and two-fourths. The Wolverines set two of the three new Illinois Relays records. Don Canham bettered the old mark of 6 ft. 512 in., set by Burg of Chicago when he leaped 6 ft., 6% in. The four- mile relay team composed of Karl Wisner, Jack Dobson, Ed Barrett and Capt. Ralph Schwarzkopf turned in 17:39.4, 11 seconds better than 'the mark set by Penn in 1930. Sophomore Charlie Decker took but three vaults in tieing for first place -12 ft., 6 in.. 13 ft. and 13 ft., 6 in. This is probably the best indoor per- formance in the history of Michigan pole vaulters. However, a badly twisted ankle on his last effort may keep him out for the remainder of the season. (Ed. note: incidentally in the triangular meet last week when Decker tied for first at 12 ft., 8 in., he tried to go no higher because the meet was running behind schedule). * * * * Allen Smith ran beautifully, taking second in a camera fin- ish. The judges were long in making their decision. (Ed. note: Myron Piker of Northwestern, the winner, is Big Ten champion and that might have influenced the judges). Stan Kelley took fourth in the high hurdles in another blanket finish, nosing out Charles Hlad, Michigan Normal star, wo bat was the same as the winner's, Warren Breidenbach, while not do- his leg of the mile relay. The somewhat makeshift two-mile relay team surprised by its perform- ance. Sophomore two-miler Bill Ackerman ran 1:58.2; Howie Egert 1:58.9; Ed Barrett, repeating after' an earlier mile, 1:59.2 and Johnny Elmer Gedeon, who for two years was Michigan's Conference chan- pion in the hurdles as well as being first-baseman on the baseball team, is shown hurdling teammate Jimmy Wasdell at the Washington Sen- ators' Orlando, Fla. training camp. Gedeon played in the outfield for the Orlando club last year, came up to the big leagues during the last few wieeks of the season, and showed enough promise to warrant his being taken south this spring.

It was general opinion that this Purdue club was not a champion. A look at the standings corrects this impression. Halftime score: Purdu gan 10. Free throws missed: Back from a dramatic 16-14 victory over the fighting Penn State squad before more than 4,000 fans at State College, Pa., last Saturday, Michi- gan's grapplers began preparations yesterday to turn back another dan- gerous Eastern threat, Navy, this Saturday afternoon. Capt. "Butch" Jordan's default win over Warren Elliott, after Don Nich- ol's upset defeat by Ernie Bortz had put the Lions three points in front, was enough to send the Wolverines home with a win over one of the strongest teams in the East. The victory was further proof, if any was needed, that Coach Cliff Keen has produced another great squad. Fully recovered from their early loss to Illinois, the Wolverines are again on their way, with the Con- ference title, now held by Indiana, straight ahead. A large part of this greatness must be credited to Harland Danner. When he pinned Penn State's Roy Gensler, Danner kept intact a sensational record which at present shows five straight falls, two of them over heavi- er opponents, without a defeat. Further honors in Saturday's win go to Bill Combs and Sophomore Jim Galles. The 145-pounder, in his decision victory over Joe Scalzo, gave last year's runner-up in the Nationals such a trimming that Coach Keen hildrawals, Injuries itVarsity Net Hopes Team Satmrda y declared, "They'll be talking about Combs out there for years." Galles, in his first year on the var- sity, is rapidly shouldering his way into the crowded ranks of Michigan wrestling greats. His decision over [aion Charles Rohrer was the fifth in mnother unbeaten string. Galles, while not so spectacular as some of us mates, is showing signs of having L rosy future. The meet also served as a gauge >f the strength of this week's oppon- mnt.
