Victory String
Revives Spirit
'Of Hoopsters
By NORM MILLER
The basketball fortunes of Michi-1
gan's rejuvenated cagers assumed a
rosier tinge over the weekend as the4
Wolverines came through with a pair
of impressive one-sided victories over
highly- touted Iowa and lowly Chi-
cago.
Jim Mandler's 19 points in the
Iowa game was the big reason for the
Varsity's 40-29 triumph over the
Hawkeyes. Mandler took 11 shots at
the hoop in the first half to connect
with seven baskets and almost single-
handedly provide Michigan with a
19-13 lead at half time.
Iowa rallied at the start of the sec-
ond half, however, and narrowed the
Wolverines' lead to 29-28, but two
quick baskets by Bill Cartmill and
Mike Sofiak widened the breach, and
Michigan won going away.
Defense Slows Attack
In the Chicago game, a baffling
zone defense slowed up the Varsity
attack for the greater part of the
first half. To add to Michigan's woes,
Mandler went out of the gahe on per-
sonal fouls after only 12 minutes of
play had elapsed. The score was 12-
12 at the time.
Captain Herb Brogan and Mel
Comin then connected with two long
shots apiece to put Michigan in the
lead, and when the Wolverines chose
to stall around mid-floor with the
ball in their possession, Chicago came
out of its shell.
Michigan Is Eighth
Once the Maroons began using the
man-for-man defense, the rest was
easy. Led by Cartmill and Brogan,
who tossed in 13 and 10 points re-
spectively,dthe Varsity coasted to its
second straight victory.'
The two triumphs lifted Michigan
a notch in the Big Ten standings in-
to eighth place.
The Wolverines' next game is
against Illinois Saturday in Yost
Field House. In their previous en-
counter the Illini were victorious by a
score of 47-41, and they will be fav-
ored to duplicate their earlier feat
because of their present fifth-place
rating in the Conference race.
BASEBALL NOTICE
All candidates for the Michigan
baseball team are urged to sign up
for the coming season at the south
end of Yost Field House any after-
noon this week.'

Fast becoming a star in his own
right is Prew, who meets Dobson Bur-
ton and Gus Sharemet in the 100
yard race. Prew has been clocked in
:52 seconds flat already this winter,
a time which is coming pretty close to
the world record of :51 set by John-
ny Weismueller.
Prew will also be an entrant in the
220 yard grind, while Lumsden, na-
tional 50 yard titleholder in :23.1 last
season is a pretty sure bet to cop that
race while swimming against Mann'sI
sophomores Bob West and Bruce Al-
len.
From the Michigan side it's the
same old story of balance and power
in every event on the program. Where
Wayne is strong Michigan is also

SPORT NOTES
. in tThisCanuh-
Marty Levandowski,
Who Beat A Champ
By HOE SELTZERs
THERE is a standard assignment in
wthe sports department of The Daily
which is such a standoy as to have
become a veritable tradition. Each
year when the new crop of embry-
onic Henry McLemores report for
duty one of them is sure to be dele-
gated to "go down to the Sports
Building and get a story on Marty
Levandowski, the boxing instructor.-
He used to fight professional.''
And there have been so many of
thee lads popping down at six-
months intervals for his life story'
that Marty has now invented a
time- and labor-saving device to
benefit one and all. He has pre-
pared a mimeographed autobiog-
raphy, copies of which he keeps on
the shelf above the boxing gloves
and dispenses to those interested.
Now this release surprises one very
much indeed, because it is a source
of great wonderment that the Story
of Martin Levandowski has been so
long ignored by supposedly alert
sports scribes, a story as colorful as
an Easter egg:
Two factors made Marty Levan-
dowski a crowd-pleasing fighter.
The first was the bare fact that
five feet, eight inches and 170
pounds had the infernal gall to
mess with the big boys in the un-
limited heavy, division. And there
was even that time when the crowd
howled "Mismatch!" after spot-
ting Marty in one corner and his
behemoth-like foe in the other.
As it turned out it really was a
mismatch. Marty turned the other
guy's toes up in two rounds.
BUT THE REAL THING about this
scrapper was his style of fight-
ing. For Marty was not a clever,
sharpshooting boxer, a Fancy Dan.
Definitely not.
Pure power was his forte. His
favorite shots were full-blown
right and left hooks which followed
one another alternatingly, a la
Dempsey: Feet flat on the can-
vas . . . stance a little pigeon-toed
for balance . . . time the other
guy's left to the split-second . .
here it comes . . . slip under it,
shuffle in fast . . . catch him with
a left in the ribs, then a right toj
the button, a left to the temple ... .
This was Marty Levandowski's
system. And when an opponent was
so unfortunate as to come within the
range of those sweeping hooks
whistling in on the bias things com-
menced to look very black for the
gentleman indeed, and sometimes
birdies sang off in the darkness
somewhere.
Which explains how Marty was
able to beat ex-world champion
Jim Braddock, who had the ad-
vantage over him of seven inches
and 15 pounds. In their first fight
James J.'s reach kept him out of
harm's way, but in a return bout
Marty was able to slip that left
and get close enough to work his
"system".
M ARTY DOESN'T FIGHT for
keeps any more. Now and again,
however, he steps a few rounds with
those more hardy of his proteges
who dare to match their youthful
speed against the lullaby in his right
and left dukes.

By HAL WILSON
The final thrill-jammed chapter of
a story that began last May and took
nine months to unfold will be in-
scribed on -he record books Friday.-
It's a tale that involves a shattered
Wolverine track win streak, a power-
ful Pittsburgh cinder team, master
of the East, that looked westward for
new victims, sickness, injury, and allf
the action and heartbreak any Holly-
wood nine-reel saga ever possessed. r
Here's the background of Friday's]
dual meet clash in the Field House;
between Pitt's 1941 track machine
and Michigan's Western Conference
champions:
Ineligibility, Hoosiers
Decision Mat Squad
Last Saturday the Wolverine mat-
men beat Illinois 18-8, and Monday1
they bowed to Indiana 17-9. How
come this reversal of form?
It comes as more than a coincidence
that three of the men who competed'
and won at Champaign were ren-
dered hors de combat Monday be-
cause of a mandate from the dean's
office. Unfortunately, Fred Klem-
ach and Jack Butler are definitely
lost for the remainder of the sea-
son.
But Capt. Bill Combs., who was in-
eligible last night on account of an
incomplete, may soon return to
action. And the status of little Tom-
my Sparks, who would ably replace
Klemach, is as yet also undecided.

agencies, major contractors and sub-contractors. Each is
linked to the other through telephone or teletypewriter, or
