men and trading passes with Gil
Samuelson.
With 20 seconds to play in the
second period, Charley Ross and Doug
Willians were penalized for high-
sticking in front of the Michigan net.
Then came the third period, as
frenzied a bit of hockey as has been
seen on the Michigan rink since
Minnesota's mighty Gophers visited'
Ann Arbor last year.
Paul Goldsmith started it off dur-
ing an Ontario power-play just three
minutes after the period began when
he broke loose at his own blue line,
out-skated the lone Aggie defense-
man, feinted Miner out of position
and shoved the puck into the corner
of the goal.
Goldsmith Tallies Again
The lanky sophomore center tallied
again a few moments later after
taking a pass from Jimmy Lovett.
He shot from about 20 feet out and
big Cy Miner let the puck slip past
him as he attempted to fall on it.

This score put the Wolverines in the
lead for the first time during the
course of the evening.
Almost before Goldy's tally had
been posted on the scoreboard, a near-
riot broke out in front of the Michi-
gan net. Punches were a dime a
dozen for a few seconds but none
were thrown effectively and nobody
was injured. Referee Roy Reynolds
thumbed Lovett and Packman from
the ice and the two teams continued
the game on even terms.

JIM LOVETT ... Gets Assist
following the fight, three goals were
scored. The Aggies tallied the first
two with Johnny McEwen denting
the twine with a hard shot from 15
feet and Doug Willans marking up a
score after taking a pass from John
McCulloch to put the visitors out in
front, 4-3.,
Corson Scores Goal
Their lead proved to be short-lived
however when Charley Ross broke
through the Ontario defense just 24
seconds later and fired a blistering
shot at goalie Miner of the Aggies.
The big net-minder knocked it down
but John Corson knocked the rebound
into the net.
For the next eight minutes, the
play of both teams was listless and
with the final gun just a few seconds
away, an overtime period seemed like-
ly. But Doug Packman changed all
that when he took a pass from Don
Warner to score in 19:49 and give the
visitors a victory.

Grid Specialization ...
Editor's Note - Today's column is
written by Herb Lev, senior assistant
on the sports staff.
From out East Lansing way come
reports that Charley Bachman is be-
ing charged with intimidating' foot-
ball players who wish to come out for
other varsity sports teams. The truth
of these charges remains to be de-
termined. Needless to say, a lot of
hot air will emanate from both fac-
tions, and it will take a long while
before anything is settled. Undoubt-
edly the net effect will be negligible.
The student group which is saying
that Bachman "discourages" grid-
ders from participating in major
sports has some ground to stand on.
Thinking back we can't recall a Spar-
tan gridiron hero who came back in
the winter to menace Michigan on
the basketball court.
Ole Nelson, Bachman's great end
of a few seasons back came to
East Lansing labeled one of the
outstanding basketball players
ever to be turned out of a Chi-
cago high school. Football was
only a sideline with the Big
Swede at first, but after a suc-
cessful sophomore year on the
gridiron he mysteriously dropped
off the basketball squad after a
few games never to be heard .
from again on the hardwood.
Maybe Nelson was only a flash
in the pan, a high school star
who couldn't make the college
grade, but the State cage teams
of this era weren't of a qua;:.
to make this appear likely. But
maybe he actually needed the
time for his studies.
A varsity athlete here, formerly a
Michigan State student, told us re-
cently that one Les Bruckner was the
star of the Spartan freshman bas-
ketball team three years ago. We
recall Bruckner's exploits as a tackle
and a place-kicking specialist but
don't remember seeing him in a bas-
ketball uniform. And so there's little
to do but join our ex-Spartan friend
in wondering why.
Colleges, even the big-time foot-
ball schools, vary in dealing with the
problem of allowing gridders to par-
ticipate in other sports.. We don't
know of any school which has. any
written law on the subject but try
and name a Pittsburgh gridder who
doubled on the basketball court? Or
Southern California? Or Stanford?
Other schools encourage their
footballers to play other sports
at least to keep in shape for the
forthcoming season. Notre Dame
had Earl Brown, an All-Ameri-
can in football and basketball a
year ago. Most of the Big Ten
fives are sprinkled with gridders.
Some are stars of their teams,
equally or more valuable than
they were on the gridiron. Some
are just average on the hard-
wood. But they all like to play
basketball and they're getting 'a
chance.
Perhaps the best method to deal
with the problem is to look into the
individual cases. Some boys need to
put more time on their studies than
others. Here at Michigan football
players are at liberty to go out for
the sport of their choice at the con-
clusion of the grid campaign. Some
of them, with known ability in other
fields, resist the temptation to be-
come two sport men in the interes%

of the studies. But you'll find most
of the lads eager for all the honors
they can get. There's Tom Harmon,
in his second year of combining the
grid and cage sports and apparently
none the worse for his efforts. There's
Milo Sukup, the stubby guard, who

Rumors O f Pitt
Gane Denied
By Authorities
Yost Fails To Affirm Story
By Pittsburgh Paper
On Reported Grid Tilt
Fielding H. Yost, Michigan's ath-
letic director, denied rumors last -
night that Pittsburgh had been
signed to take Chicago's place on
the Wolverine 1940 football schedule.
The Pittsburgh Sun-Telegram ear-
lier reported that the Panthers had
made definite plans to meet Michi-
gan on Nov. 2, the date that now re-
mains open on both teams' program.
According to Yost, nothing has
been agreed upon as yet. Several
teams are still under consideration
and the final decision will probably
be made this weekend. Coach Her-
bert O. "Fritz" Crisler, out of town
now on a speaking tour, will be back
at that time.
Hagan Says Nothing
Others of the Michigan grid
coaches contacted last night had no
comment to make on the rumored
Panther game. Athletic Director
James A. Hagan of Pitt also declined
to comment on the report.
The Panthers, with their eyes on
a possible entrance into the Western
Conference, have already signed to
play Ohio State next year, and three
other Big Ten teams, Minnesota, In-
diana and Purdue in 1941. Michigan
has never met the Pitt squad on the
gridiron.
'Purdue Plays Ohio
Purdue had been considered as the
most logical and likely choice to fill
the opening that Chicago's with-
drawal had placed on the Michigan
schedule, but the Boilermakers signed
to play Ohio State earlier this week.
It is believed that besides the Pan-
thers the other teams still under
consideration are Detroit, Holy Cross,
Boston College, Villanova, and Tulsa.
All of these schools still have open
dates on Nov. 2.
despite the fact that he's varsity
timber on the hardwood admits that
his chief motive in playing basket-
ball is to keep his weight down. Then
there are Fred Trosko and Forest
Yvashevski, who play football and
baseball and maintain better than
average scholastic records.
Last June the Wolverines grad-
uated two three sport men, El-
mer Gedeon and Danny Smick.
Smick's case is especially inter-
esting. The big fellow played
three years of football, basket-
ball and baseball, and only in the
latter did he even approach star-
dom. Yet he always was a val-
uable performer for the Wol-
verines, got a lot of fun out of
his varied athletic program, and
was rewarded for his versatility
by securing a job coaching all
sports in a high school. We won-
der where he would have landed
if campus custom restricted him
to football.
Sometimes this freedom can be
carried too far. Ohio State early in
the season boasted a line-up studded
with players who had just traded
their moleskins for cage suits. Came
the quarterly examinations and three
grid stars and promising court per-
formers were promptly ruled ineli-
ible. Individual investigation might
have saved scholastic disgrace even
though it might still have meant
giving up basketball.
And meanwhile all eyes are turned
toward Michigan State and these
latest charges. What will the next

move be?
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Virginia 29, Navy 26
Gettysburg 33, Bucknell College 32
Army 27, Princeton 25.

By HERM EPSTEIN
Nine points were Michigan's total
in the distance runs in the Big Tens
last May; nine points should be the
least scored in these events this year.
With the graduation of Wisconsin's
Walter Mehl and Indiana's Mel Trutt
who ,finished one-two in the mile,
Michigan has two of the remaining
place winners-Ed Barrett, third, and
Karl Wisner, fifth. Since these two
are both back, Barrett being only a
junior, prospects here look better
than they have in a number of years.
That doesn't mean Michigan is
going to win and take third, or any-
thing like that, for there are a num-
ber of really fine milers in the Con-
ference-runners like Hedges of In-
diana who was fourth, and Holder-
man of Purdue whose sophomore
brilliance was marred by an off-day
in the big meet. But, it does mean
that there will be a goodly share of
the points coming Michigan's way
in this event.
Barrett Finishes Third
Barrett, with only one year of run-
ning under his belt (he was a boxer
before), came along so rapidly at the
end of the season that he finished
third with a 4:18 mile. He'll be a
hard man to defeat in almost any
sort of competition, this year.
Wisner's ability, as displayed dur-
ing a notable sophomore year, was
hidden last year by a series of colds
and sore muscles. Karl really didn't
have .a chance to get in shape, but
still he came through with a fifth
place. This year he has been both-
ered with appendicitis attacks, and so
is just beginning to round into shape.
If Wisner is right, he'll more than
take care of his share of the mile
Cduties.

tion can teach. He should repeat
easily.
Hard-working Brad Heyl's untiring
efforts brought him through to sec-
ond place indoors last March, and he
ran a good race outdoors, failing to
place because of a poorly-timed
sprint. He, too should be right up
there when the two-mile places are
handed out, unless he goes through
with his plan of running in the mile
instead.
Last year's frosh distance ace, Billj
Ackerman, will be in the two-mile
also. Bill is the best long-distance
man since Schwarzkopf first came

around, and with ; the benefit of
Schwarzkopf's teaching, should be
ready to take over next year, though
he's expected to take his share of
the seconds and thirds behind his
captain this year.
With Aruch a quantity of distance
men, it seems hard to find a place
for such promising men as Joe Dan-
iels, the 1938 frosh mile star who was
out of competition last year; the sur-
prising Bud Hamilton, Whose im-
provement is as great as Dobson's if
not greater; and Art Cline, back af-
ter being laid up with a badly in-
jured leg.
