* THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fast Michigan Cagers Face Favored Spartan Team T mnight Both Quintets Rely On Speed To Score Wing Phillips, Spartan Ace, Out With Injury; Michigan Leads In Old Rivalry (Continued from Page 1) hampered by a cold, and Wood has not yet completely recovered from a charlie horse, which deprived him of a chance to break into the starting five.. Three Reserves May Get In The men having the best chance to get into the contest if conditions will permit are Bill Herrmann, George Ruehle, and Bob Fitzgerald. Tom Harmon, Who led the Wolverine scor- ing parade last year, will not be in uniform. All together 15 men will dress for the contest. While Oosterbaan is starting his second year as head coach for the Wolverines, Van Alstyne will be well into his 16th season of handling the Spartan's hardwood activities. His squad opened their season Monday night with a 42-22 victory over Kala- mazoo in which Aubuchon, the midget of the State squad, being the only man starting who is under six feet, leading the attack with 11 points. Starting Lineups Wolverine Pucksters Seek First Win In McMaster Tilt IN THIS CORNER By MEL FINEBER__G _ Three Saints In One Act . ., This advertisement didn't appear on the drama pages but we notice that there is a new show running in New York. The name is "Who Killed Cock Robin" or "Who, Me?"l It is a peculiar play and the hero is dumb. This can be taken two ways, but in this case, the hero doesn't speak. Harry Thomas vs. State of New York Boxing Commission, 237 NY 145 now commands the spotlight on the boxing state. In case you've forgotten some of the particulars (as the Boxing Com- mission undoubtedly wishes it had) we'll review them briefly. Harry Thomas was, for want of a better term, a fighter who once engaged in a form of fisticuffs with, among other persons, Tony Galento and Max Schmeling. This, in itself, is perfectly harmless unless one inhibits a certain governor's mansion but one day this Mr. Thomas decides to do what the lower classes would aptly and picturesquely term "spill his guts." This Thomas fellow walks up to Arch Ward, sports editor of The Chicago Tribune, The World's Greatest Newspaper, and the conversa- tion went something like this. Thomas (looking furtively over his shoulder as a blond walks by): Listen, scribe, I got somet'ing fer ya dat will rock da woild remember dose fights what I had with dat bum galento and dat bum schmeling well dey weren't fights 'cause I didn't fight. (Deep breath). Some joke eh, scribe. I could aI knocked dere heads off dere shoulders but I took a flop, dive, tankerooo. Get it. But me conscience boddered me and I wants to make it up to dose folkst who were gypped on account I can't sleep nights." Ward: "Thanks, just sign these affidavits with an X." The next scene takes place in the New York Boxing Commission's office in that thriving metropolis which some sophisticated midwesterner once placed across the Hudson from New York. Boys in white coats are running up and down the aisles selling peanuts, pop corn and chewing gum. Tickets are being scalped as the great expose is exposed. Among those present are John Pehlan, New York Commissioner, Harry Thomas, Sol I Strauss, cousin and lawyer of Mike Jacobs who put on the disputed fights and other disinterested characters. There is one little hitch in the plan. It seems tha't a New York statute forbids the tanking of fights unless it is previously announced. Mr. Thomas failed to make such an announcement and as a result has run afoul of the law. This in turn means that he is subject to a short sojourn in another sort of tank-with bars on the window and time on his hands. The presence of this law had made Mr. Thomas' conscience a little less bothersome. December has an "r" in it and as a result Thomas is as silent as an oyster-or is it a clam? They fire questions at him and Thomas looks at the walls, at the desks, at the sky, he looks up and says "Who, me?"

Dewey's office today. The New York State Athletic Com- mission, thwarted in its attempts to gain information from Thomas unless he was granted immunity, and unable to grant this immunity, turned the investigation over to Dewey's office for such action as it may see fit. Thomas, who at previous hearings had refused to answer questions on the grounds it might incriminate him, did not testify at today's hearing, but stated through his attorney, John Bailey, Jr., that he would talk if granted immunity from any punish- ment that might result from his testimony. It is a criminal offense to "throw" a fight in New York. Today's hearing was given over entirely to the testimony of Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, which published Thomas' statements that he had "thrown" his fight with Schmeling, as well as one with Tony Galento in Philadelphia last year. Ward said, "I was satisfied in my own mind that Thomas' statements were true," and revealed there was a "mysterious" person who corroborat- ed Thomas' story. He testified he found this witness, whose name he declined to reveal, because, he said, "I would be violat- ing a confidence." The witness con- firmed Thomas' story in every sub- stantial detail, Ward added. 3 Ill i The starting Michigan James Calvert Ross Goldsmith Lovett Stodden lineup: Pos.
