THE AI , rs avored Over Iowa; Sextet Picked To Beat IN THIS COR NER 'j By Mel Fineberg Where, Oh Where The search for the 1940 football opponent to replace the late deceased Chicago on the Michigan schedule goes on apace. Rumors fill the air and every school from Southern Cali- fornia to the University of Nova Scotia is reported to have signified that their football life won't be com- plete unless Michigan is a part of it, It's pretty difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff as some earlier sports writer once said, but we'll get out our private thresh- ing machine and start the agri- cultural process on that new mys- tery thriller. First of all, Michigan will not play the University of Nova Scotia. There is no University of Nova Scotia and it would be a little too much trouble to create one just for 1940. Secondly, Michigan will not play Southern Cali- fornia. This is a matter of reord. Now listed among those whom Michigan also will not play are:. Tulsa, Holy Cross, Tennessee, Princeton, Nebraska. Tulsa and Holy Cross have open dtes on November 2 (Michigan's hole) and have mailed In their suplIca- tions and entreaties. Tennessee offered to shift their schedule about to suit the Wolverines' wishes.. Princeton isn't interest- ed and Nebraska has a fullsched- ule. That eliminates all of them. Also among those who have open dates on that fateful day are Boston College and the University of Detroit. Jack Curley, the B.C. athletic director has been in Ann Arbor trying to ar- range the game but it is extremely doubtful that it will be consummat- ed.' Nor is it likely that the U. of D. will be that opponent. And that leaves us back where we started from. Purdue. and Pittsburgh. Purdue, because we know that Fritz Crisler and Noble, Kizer have been in touch with one another;. Pittsburgh because the Panthers have been surprisingly quiet'about the whole affair. And we think that Pitt has the edge. If it weren't for the fact that there is some schedule shifting involved in the Purdue case, we believe that it would be already in the bag. But negotiations are under way for other schools and only as A comparative last resort will the involved date-shift- ing be done. That is, we believe, all that stands in the way of a Purdue- Michigan game. * * * This afternoon Michigan and Ohio State tangle in the beautiful Buckeye natatorium-and unless we miss our guess (always ex- ceedingly doubtful) the outcome will be quite different than the two 42-42 ties of last year. Aqua- tically speaking, this Michigan crew has what it takes. So just for a change we'll step out on a watery limb and probably belly- flop to a watery grave. The Wolver- ines, Big Ten and National Cham- pions, will win 57-27. And we'll even let you know how it's going to be done. Michigan will be one-two in the 50, the 100, the 220, the 440. The Wolverineswill win both re- lays, takes a first and third in the backstroke (Ohio's Stunhope could win this one, though) and second and third in the breast ' stroke. But the lads of brave Ohio, bless their little hearts, will annex first and second in the dive. Add it all up and it comes to Michigan 57, Ohio 27. Q.E.D. Yale's free style relay team swam the distance in 3:31.6, three-tenths of second off the world's record held. by the New York Athletic Club. But, none of the four swimmers had com- peted in any other event that evening. Howie Johnson, Ed Pope, Russ Dun- can and Bill Sanburne all saved themselves for this one fling. And quite a fling it was. COLLEGE HOCKEY Minnesota 9, Michigan Tech 1.

Crafty Mike had depended on his former captain to take care of the sprint du- ties, and the loss, observers here esti- mated, will take from 15 to 20 points from the Buckeyes' total. However, the Ohio squad is still sparkled with such capable veteran performers as co-captains Johnny Higgins, and Al Patnik, Elwood Woodling, Earl Clark, Harold "Curly" Stanhope, and Ed Poscavage. They're all point winners and certainly can't be counted out of this meet yet. Mike Peppe's biggest problem, therefore, comes in finding a suitable replacement for Quayle. The Buck- eye speed demon not only took care of the individual events, but 'he also anchored both of Peppe's relay teams. Ohio Lineup Unknown , Although the Ohio coach refused to announce a definite lineup flntil sometime tomorrow, it was generally believed here that the sprint burden will fall on three newcomers, Johnny Patton, Bud Erich and Carmine Or- sini plus Lou Fall, a junior free styler who recently re-entered school after a three year absence. Patton is the Buckeye sophomore phenomena, and if he goes right to- morrow Ohio will undoubtedly be a potent\contender. The lad will prob- ably swim in three events, the 100, 220 and 440-yard free style races. Recently in a Toledo exhibition, Pat- ton took eight seconds off of a Buster Crabbe 220-yard mark. In the century the Buckeye sopho- more along with Orsini will meet Gus of the Sharemets and Hutchens. In the 220 he'll probably have team- mate Erich along for compay as he splashes against the great Wolverine duo, Welsh,. champion of the Big Ten at this distance, Williams, the sophomore. The quarter mile will probably find Welsh and Patton at it again with Burton, Mann's pocket battleship, and Woodling for Ohio. Breaststroke Is Feature Race In the 200-yard breastroke, Mich- igan will have Haigh and John Share- met to match strokes with Olympic natator Higgins. This race ought to be one of the features of tomorrow's battle, for although the Buckeye was whipped by the two Wolverines in Florida, observers here believe he is back in condition for this meet. Beebe, third in the Big Ten, and sophomore Riedl will swim the 150- yard backstroke for . the visitors against Stanhope another Western Conference champ, and Poscavage. Peppe's forte tomorrow will be his diving duo, Patnik and Clark. The two, who have more titles than the king of England, are highly favorrA to finish one-two over Michigan's Benham and Wolin. In the 50-yard sprint, Mann will use Barker, the National Collegiate champ, and Bill Holmes against probably Fall and Orsini. Admiral Mann announced his starting relay teams tonight, but again Coach Peppe refused to make his choices. In the Michigan medley team will be Beebe, along with John and Gus Sharemet, while the Wol- verine free style quartet will include Williams, Barker, Gillis and Gus Sharemet. Wignehell Captures Volleyball Crown Winchell House won the I-M dor- mitory volleyball championship yes- terday by beating Fletcher Hall two games to none. Winchell House walked away with the first game, 15-2, and then nosed out the Fletcher team 17-15, to cop the title. Geor;ge Jaquillard, Warren Carpenter, and Bob Krebs starred for Winchell, while Chuck Esler was the outstanding man in the Fletcher line- up.

He is only 5 ft. 11 in.1 Dissatisfied with the way his cen- ters have shown up in recent en-r counters, Williams has been working Erwin Prasse, regular guard, at the pivot post in practice this week. The Hawkeye mentor feels that Prasse, who is 6 ft. 2 in., is not tall enough to meet the majority of the Big Ten centers on equal terms, but his work has been much better than the regu- lar Iowa centers. If Prasse gets the nod to move up from the back line, Lind will prob-k ably take over his post. However, it is more than likely that Dick Evans or Kenny Bastian, both six foot gi-' ants whom scout Jake Townsend list- ed as men to watch, will be in at the opening jump. Rae Leads Michigan Scorers Leading the Wolverines in scoring for the nine games played so far is Captain Rae with 95 points, but Mike Sofiak, who is tied for second place in the Big Ten scoring race, holds the edge in Conference games with 24 points. Including all the tilts Char- lie Pink trails Rae with 66 and So- fiak is third with 62. Then come Herb Brogan with 60, Cartmill with 32, and Fitzgerald with 30., Behind Iowa's leader, Siegel, are Wheeler with 48 points, Lind has col- lected 46, Bastian with 24, and Prasse with 23. Against all competition Iowa has scored 310 points, averag- ing 34.4 per game, while opponents have a 37.7 average on 340 points. A great deal of the Hawkeye's scoring trouble has been from the free throw line where the team has missed 62 charity tosses and made 60. Wolverines Have Best Record Compared to this Michigan has both a better offensive and defen- sive record having scored 379 points for an average of 42.1 per game while its opponents scored 297 points for an average of 33.0 per game. If the Wolverines keep up their past performance and come out on top as they are slated to do, the real ability of the team should be tested Monday when Illinois invades the Field House.
