Jim Rae, who made a great comeback, to pace Michigan in turning back a favored Michigan State basketball squad 33 to 27 in a whirlwind finish at the Field House. With less than nine minutes to go Fitzgerald took a pass in the corner from Rae, who led the Michigan at- tack with 14 points, and sank a one- handed push shot to take a one- point lead by a 24-23 score. State had been leading up to that time, since early in the first frame. State Comes Back The Spartans tied it up immediate- ly when Joe Gerard, substitute for- ward for Bob Phillips who went out on personal fouls, sank the first of two foul shots and missed the second which would have given State the lead after being fouled by Herb Bro- gan. Phillips went out of the contest with 12 minutes to go in the second half, after leading the State attack with seven points, which were good enough'to make him high point man for his team at the close of the game. Rae put Michigan ahead 26-24 soon after Gerard tied the score with a trick shot under the basket, but after a time out, Bob Morris flipped in a backhand shot to tie up the count again. With four minutes to go Fitz sank a long one from outside the foul circle after taking a short pass from Charlie Pink, who did a perfect job of blocking for the 6 ft. 5 in. giant., Great Defensive Work That ended Fitzgerald's scoring for the night with eight points to take second place honors in the Wolverine scoring column, but he wasn't through for he followed this up with some great defensive work inorder to main- tain a narrow margin. Rae fouled Gerard while blocking out with his left arm and holding the ball in his right, and the Spartan forward made it good to bring the score up to 28-27, still in favor of Michigan. State then calledtime out, and Marty Hutt returned to the line. With a minute and 45 seconds to go go play was resumed with Michigan leading by one point. Hutt got the jump on little Mike Sofiak after they scrambled for a loose ball in the Wolverine territory. Then Fitzgerald broke up a State pass under the bas- ket with a great stretch, and Michi- gan resorted to freezing the ball. Rae Is Fouled State pulled out from underneath its basket in an attempt to break up the back line passing of the Wolver- ines, and Rae broke for a wide open basket and was fouled by center Max Hindman while attempting to shoot. Twenty-five -seconds of play re- mained and so Rae chose to take the ball out-of-bounds, after sinking his first basket to take a two-point lead, in accordance with the new rule which permits a team to shoot or keep the ball in its possession when a foul shot is granted to it. Michigan renewed its back court passing in an attempt to kill time and with two seconds of play left the Spartans again pulled out from the basket. Fitzgerald then faked a pass and bounced the ball into Rae who made a fast break for the meshes (Continued on Page 3) -Goodfellows-Monday - Art Cinema League To Include 'Hamlet' In Today'sProgram Third of its series of pictures that have made motion picture history, a showing of "The Last Laugh," star- ring Emil Jannings, and a 1920 pro- duction of "Hamlet" will be offered by the Art Cinema League today.

He said: "I heartily commend the enterprise of The Michigan Daily in initiating its Goodfellow drive. One may partici- pate in an activity of this sort with personal satisfaction and the assur- ance that its objective is genuinely helpful to the community in which we are living." Sale Supplies Fund The proceeds of the Fund will be raised by the sale of a special Good- fellow edition of The Daily and through prviate contributions, it will be the successful sale of of The Daily that will chiefly constitute the duties of the Goodfellow Army. Tomorrow's campaign will be the fifth in a traditional series of efforts to raise funds for needy students and Ann Arbor families. The drve was originally conceived five years ago at a historic meeting betwen a group of undergraduate leaders intensely interested in the problems- of the needy, and Mrs. Gordon W. Brevoort, secretary of the local Fam- ily Welfare Bureau. At this meet- ing the group agreed upon the neces- sity for a single, coordinated drive to raise funds for the indigent. That drive has now become an established Michigan tradition. It is the only annual all-campus organized and sponsored charity drive. It is a- ministered solely by students. The Goodfellow drive, which last year raised more than $1,100 and has in the past raised as much as $1,675 in a single day's campaign, enlisted in 1938 more than 350 Goodfellow- volunteers who for more than 10 hours canvassed Ann Arbor from the' Engineering Arch to Main Street. This year's Goodfellow Army plans to march the same field in their con- certed attack to raise funds. Aids Throughout Year The Goodfellow drive, character- ized as the student body's most hu- manitarian project, is designed to aid the needy not only during the Christ- mas season but throughout the whole year. The allocation of funds is not constant each year, but annually the Deans' Discretionary Fund and the Family Welfare Bureau receive a share of the proceeds resulting from the one-day sale of The Daily's special Goodfellow issue. Twenty-five campus leaders con- stitute this year's executive commit- tee for the Goodfellow drive. Serv- ing on the committee are Dennis Flanagan, '40, editor of the Good- fellow Daily; Carl Petersen, '40, managing editor of The Daily; Dor- othy Shipman, '40, president of the League; Donald Treadwell, '40, presi- dent of the Union; Barbara Bassett, '40, president of Panhellenic Associa- tion; Mary Frances Reek, '40, presi- dent of Assembly; Tom Adams, '40, president of Interfraternity Council and Wilbur Davidson, '40, secretary of Interfraternity Council and Philip Westbrook, '40, president of Con- gress.
