1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Hockey Lowrey Takes Ten Men West For Two Tilts Sextet To Play Dec. 15,16; Yale Will Bring Strong' Squad Here On Jan. 2 Coach Eddie Lowrey's Michigan hockey squad will leave at 1:37 p.m., today for Colorado Springs where the! Wolverines will meet a strong Colo- rado College puck squad in a two-' game series Friday and Saturday nights. In preparation for the long trek, the team has been working out with all the fight and drive that they showed in last Saturday night's 4-4 tie with McMaster University. "Spike" Leads Contingent j Coach Eddie Lowrey announced last night that 10 men will make the trip. Led by Captain and goalie El- don "Spike" James, the squad will in- clude Larry Calvert and Charley Ross, defense men, and a first line composed of Jim Lovett, Gil Samuel- son and Bert Stodden.f The other four men who will go are all forwards. They are Bill Canfield, Fred Heddle, Johnny Corson and Paul Goldsmith. Yale Here Jan. 2 The squad will be back in Ann Ar- bor Monday at 11 a.m. and the play- ers will leave for their homes then. They will report back to Ann Arbor Dec. 26 to start practice fr the game of Jan. 2 when they will meet a pow- erful Yale outfit. The Yale contest should be one of the best of the year since the Elis have one of the most powerful squads in the East. They play in the same league with Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, McGill, University of To- ronto and Queens, who are rated the top college teams in the world. Twenty Remain In Mat Tourney Finals, Semi-Finals Slated In Field House Today I Twenty men survived the prelim- inary matches in the All-Campus wrestling tournament held on the Field House balcony yesterday after- noon, and will enter the semi-final and final rounds at 4 p.m. today to fight it out for the titles in eight classes.

IN THIS By MEL F r Okey 'Smokey' Dear Corner: I was interesten in your col- umn in Tuesday's Daily which I understand wasn't written by you, but by Herb Lev. At any note, it said that Mr. Roy "Smok- ey" Reynolds claimed that he couldn't stop play in the Mc- Master game Saturday night when Bert Stodden was injured, because the rules require the referee to wait until the injured man's team has possession of the puck before blowing the whistle. Knowing something of the game itself' andhaving a rule book in my desk, I wish to refute your statement. The rule book I have is the official rules of the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation published by Spalding for 1939-40. Rule 9, section 1, part c reads- Should any player (except the goalkeeper) be injured during the match, break a skate or from any accident be compelled to leave the rink, the referee, or assistant referee, shall stop the play, and a substitute shall im- I mediately take the place of the player leaving the rink. As you can see, the rule says nothing about the injured man's team being in possession of the puck before the referee can blow the whistle. In fact there, is no 3 such an idea anywhere in the book. There are three possible ex- planations for your statement in ' The Daily: 1) Either Lev mis- understood Reynold's explanation of the rule; 2) Reynolds didn't see Stodden lying on the ice (I doubt this for I saw Reynolds looking at Stodden several sec- onds before he blew the whistle); 3) Reynolds didn't know the rule This last is probably the most logical explanation in view of some of Reynold's previous de- cisions. It might be a good thing for "Smokey" to brush up on the rules of collegiate hockey. [BOWLING The Skunks' record-setting efforts Tuesday night proved insufficient to earn them undisputed possession of first-place in the All-Campus Bowl- ing League, since the Splits won again to remain tied for the coveted first niche. The Lawyers remained in second, while the Spares and Stickers are tied for third. Two of the Skunks' three new marks were set by Jeff Pace, who rolled a new single-game high of 268 and a three-game series record of 655. He then joined his teammates to hang up a team series record of 2825. The matches were the last Campus League tilts to be held before vaca- will conclude the first half of the tion, after which one more match tourney.

Varsity coach Ken, stand. Mr. W.B.C., Jr. is quite right in saying that this rule says noth- ing about the necessity of the 1 injured man's team being in pos- session of the puck before the referee can blow his whistle., Whether there is no such idea anywhere in the book, we are ' not sure. But it is tacitly under- stood that time can not be called unless the injured man's team has possession. The logic is simple. If the opposi- tion should break away and be head- ed for a sure score, one of the more histrionic among the other could skate gracefully over to the referee and swoon in front of him, thus forc-' ing that official to call time out and stop the play pronto and immediate- ly. Or right away. This would provet most embarassing to the offensive; team and they would undoubtedly' make the official feel even more em- barrassed. In other words, there could be so much faking when the opposing team obtained a palpable advantage and might score that the game could be slowed up (or down) as you prefer almost as long as the thespians remained on skates. And Local 147 of the International Asso- ciation of Theatrical and Stage Em- ployes would charge the Coliseumi with using scab labor. Coach Eddie Lowrey admits , that his team often has tried to fool the officials into calling this, says that other teams pull the same thing. And Lowrey also admits that had he been in Smokey's skates, he'd have called it the same'way. He adds that the same situation has been called the same way for quite some time. By the way Mr. W.B.C., Jr., (say, this sounds like a radio station), there is so slight a difference between collegiate and professional hockey as to be almost imperceptible. The main point on which they part is that there is no body checking in the college game. Outside of this, the others are scarcely worth mentioning. Even if we knew them. game time Saturday night when the Wolverines tangle with Notre Dame here, but from the way he's worrying these days it appeares as if he is having a difficult time making his, selections. The six men who saw action against State, Capt. Jim Rae, Charlie Pink, Herb Brogan, Mike Sofiak, Bill Cart- mill and Bob Fitzgerald are the most logical choices among those who are in linehto make the trip, because of their showing up to'date. Four Posts Open However, the remaining posts ap- pear to be anybody's even at this late period. Dave Wood, a senior forward, was out for a week with a knee injury, and is now staging a strong battle for one of the berths although not yet in' top playing form. On the injury list, which is com- plicating matters for Oosterbaan, are sophomore Jim Grissen, who has been slowed up by a charlie horse this week, and Joe Glasser, a junior, who has been hampered by a cold since last Thursday. All of these men stand a good I chance of making the trip if they can get back into good condition by the end of the week. Increasing the dif- ficulty of the problem is Harold Wes- terman, who after being out with a hip injury for several weeks, has been showing rapid improvement in practice sessions to indicate that he can't be counted out. Ruehle, Herrmann After Places Among the stalwarts bidding strong- ly for traveling posts are George Ruehle, who is one of the most im- proved juniors on the squad this sea- son, and Bill Herrmann, who has been playing good ball consistently. Right along with these players are two sophomores, Norm Call and Don Holman, who canont be counted out of the running. Call reported late for practice, since he was on the foot- ball squad, but he was fighting for a second string berth four days after he came out. Holman has been in fighting ever since the workouts began, and his speed and aggressiveness may stand him in good stead when the team is finally selected. Iowa's Gridders Second, Southern Cal. Is Third NEW YORK, Dec. 13. -(P)- The Cincinnati Reds should feel better now. The team which took four straight World Series games from them was the No. 1 team of all sports for 1939 in the opinion of a vast majority of experts balloting in the ninth annual Associated Press poll. This is the fourth straight year the Yanks have won this honor. Second place was the real bone of contention among the experts, with four football teams in a tight race for the honor. Iowa, with 37/2 points, including 71/2 first-place votes, finally won the runnerup position, with Southern California third with 34, Tennessee fourth with 33, and Cornell fifth with 26.

And, he's nowhere near in as good condition as he was then. , Last year, when only a sophomore, his running drew the fans' attention with every performance. First he gave Long John Woodruff an awful scare in the Penn Relays and came home to tie the all-time Michigan record in the 440 in the meet with Indiana. Set Record Against OSU Then came the meet with Ohio State. The sophomore sensation's stride carried him around the track to a new Ferry Field, Michigan, and meet record of 47.2 seconds, to give him a brilliant anchor leg on the re- Kodros Is Undecided About Playing Pro Ball Archie Kodros, captain and cen- ter of the 1939 Wolverine eleven, said last night that he has not decided as yet whether he would accept a bid to play professional football or enter the Business Administration School next fall, as he had planned. Drafted by the Green Bay Packers, of the Naional Professional Football League, a few days ago, Archie re- vealed that he has not received any official correspondence from the Packer club, and said he will defer a final decision until he does.

Waln A TREASURY OF ART MASTERPIECES . Craven I: 1 By MASE GOULD Don Nichols is a-feudin' again. And with another one of them thar ma- raudin' Hoosiers from down Bloom- ington way, too. It's getting to be a custom. For the past two years, the Wol- verine 175-pound grappler has been hitting off a heated rivalry with one Chris Traicoff, as tough and mean an actor as they come on the mat. But Traicoff's graduation from Indiana cut the hostilities short just when they were coming to the boiling point. And now, an impudent young Hoosier with the perfectly harmless first monicker of Garnet but who indig- nantly answers only to the call of "Tuffy" because it becomes him more, threatens to disturb Mr. Nichol's new- ly-established clam. Inman's the name. Garnet "Tuffy" Inman. Remember that name if you must forget all the rest when the Wolverines engage the huffy Hoosiers in the match of all matches to wind up Michigan's grappling schedule early in March. It's a long way off, to be sure, but Nichols is already planning his at- tack. It seems that this young upstart Inman gave Don a rude jolt last Sat- urday night out in Chicago at the Midwest championships, for Don, al- ready established as the pre-season favorite to cop the Big Ten 175- pound title, was nosed out in a rough match, 3 to 2, by "Tuffy." Last year, Nichols routed 'Inman, 21 to 8. But that was last year. Even if Don fails to regain the Big Ten title. a win over Inman in the Indiana dual me'et Iceskating During Christmas vacation the rink will be open as usual. plus a "clincher" in the Conference affair, will more than satisfy him. For it's seldom indeed that this younger forced to say "when" in a wrestling encounter, as his past record will testify. In his first year, Don went through the season withou a defeat and went on to win the Big Ten title. Among his dual meet victories was a triumph over Traicoff the Terrible which set off the spark to a bitter rivalry. Last season, Don won seven straight dual meet matches, but in the Midwest meet which preceded the campaign, he was forced to be content with a draw with Traicoff. The Hoosier missed the dual meet with Michigan because of a knee injury but the rivalry was renewed at the Big Ten meet where Nichols, after a savage match, was forced to give up his crown on the heels of a narrow 3 to 2 defeat. Hostilities came to an unhappy end for Don when the two grapplers again came face to face in the National Intercollegiate meet at Lancaster, Pa. Another tooth-and-nail encounter, typical of all of their tussles, resulted in a hard- earned overtime victory for Traicoff. But the business at hand no longer centers around Traicoff. It now spells Inman, and by the time the Indiana match rolls around, Don should be primed for revenge. There's noth- ing he hates more than to have to say "when," especially to a Hoosier.
