THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TifREE Varsity Cagers Whip Wildcats, 45-39, In Final Home Game doInL wirtehafter's DAILY DOUBLE 'Il I When Houdini Roamed.. .. OH, IT IS great to be alive again ... A lot of things have gone on since the Double last had his say. Probably 'one of the most interesting to us, however, is the announcement of this "dream" game scheduled for Yost Field House Friday night. It will be a revelation to the Double to see the Houdini of the H1rdwoods once again haunt the boards that he made famous three years ago. We clearly remember the night John Townsend bowed out of collegiate competition. It was in March of the Double's first year in college. They termed it "Townsend Night" as a tribute to the Michigan all-time basketball great. The Wolverines had a game sched- uled with Northwestern that eve, but much like the game with the Wild- cats last night, it had little signifi- can in the Conference standings. Both teams were tied for sixth going into the battle. Nevertheless, the Michigan fans jammed every ,available resting space in the Field House to get one last peek at the baby-faced Indianapolis lal who had made basketball history dur- ing his three years here. Going into the game, Townsend was eight points shy of the one-year Wolverine scor- ing record of 129 set by another for- mer Michigan cage great, Bennie Oos- terbaan, back in 1928. When the team took the floor that night, every one of the 6,000 spectators on hand watched eagerly and excitedly for the great Town- send to begin his record-smashing attempt. For 13 minutes of the ball game, they remained on the edge of their seats, but then they sat back and relaxed. It took Jake just that time to turn the trick. He tallied nine points during the first 13 minutes and four points during the rest of the battle to finish with a season's total of 134 points. THAT WAS A dAME we shall long renember. The zealous Wildcat guards sensed that their only hope for victory rested in carefully bottling up Townsend. They realized that the other Michigan players would be feeding their star in an effort to help him .crack the scoring mark. Every- time John got the ball, he was im- mediately surrounded by his oppon- ents. They tugged, pulled and grab- bed at the ball, but Townsend swerved, pivoted and . . . swish. Without a doubt, the Houdini's greatest forte was his remarkable and uncanny passing ability. Al- ways known as a team player, Townsend caused his coach, "Cap- py" Cappon, worries for only one reason. He never shot enough. He INTRAMURAL NOTICE Fraternity, Residence Hall and independent relay preliminaries will be run off at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Field House. The fraterni- ty diving championships will be- gin at the same time in the Sports Building pool. v -- Sofiak Sparks Michigan Five With 16 Points McCarnes' Nine Baskets Tops Scoring; Late Rally Brings Varsity Victory (Continued from Page 1) point lead, but by halftime North-I western had moved into a 16-13 ad- vantage. In the second half, how- ever, the Wolverines were a changed squad and completely dominated the I situation. Two quick baskets by Cart- mill and Brogan set them back i4 front, and after Wildcat Russ Wind- land tied the score by sinking a foul, Cartmill's one-handed push shot gave Michigan a lead it never relin- quished. Both teams dropped in 16 field goals during the game, but it was the Wolverine accuracy on the foul line that provided them with the mar- gin of victory. In the second half, Michigan sank 12 out of 14 foul at- tempts with Sofiak leading the way by dropping in six without a miss. SUMMARIES State Amateur Event Is Next For Tank men Fresh from a successful two-meet invasion of the state of Iowa where the Wolverines got a scare from the University of Iowa and had little trouble with Iowa State, Michigan's swimmers buckled down to work in preparation for the Michigan AAUj meet to be held in the Sports Build- ing pool at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. } Matt Mann said he is expecting en- tries from Michigan State, Wayne, the Kronk A.C. of Detroit, Grand Rapids and Battle Creek to determine champions of the state. He is also planning to enter his entire team, in- cluding freshmen, in the meet. Yesterday Walt Tomski, former Michigan champion and present hold- er of the 25-yard pool record, worked out, in addition to Strother "T-Bone" Martin, ineligible varsity diver who will perform unattached. Matt was somewhat displeased at the showing his mermen made at Iowa City where they trailed the Hawkeyes by a considerable margin after the diving event. Successive "slams" in the breastroke and back- stroke pulled the natators ahead, however, as they finished with a 50-j 34 score. Tom Williams won the 220 and! Blake Thaxter the 440 at Iowa State while Jim Welsh swept both distance races against the Hawkeyes the night before. Reserved seats will again be avail- able for the Michigan AAU meet in addition to 1,000 general admissions, Mann announced. Preliminaries, if necessary, will be held Wednesday afternoon with no charge for admit- tance.

Normal's Harold Stein, who has cleared 13 feet %31 inches, and State's Ted Wonch, who has bettered 13 feet, will do their best to push Decker, whose 13 foot,' 10% inch effort against the Pan-j thers established a new Field House and Varsity Indoor record. In the hurdle events the Hurons hold all the aces in the person of lanky Charles Hlad. A white-haired speedster, Hlad copped first place in the Illinois Relays' low barrier event, and third in a blanket finish in the National A.A.U. indoor 70-yard highs. State has nobody who will threaten the Huron timber topper, while Mich- igan's best bets will be Jeff Hall and Frank McCarthy.

With a g6od showing against the strong Brantford club behind them, the Michigan hockey team now sets about the business of preparing for the invasion of Minnesota's mighty Gophers who will meet the Wolvex- Ines at the Coliseum Thursday and Saturday. Eddie Lowrey's local lads played l one of the best ,games they have turned in thus far in the season last Saturday when they held the Brant- ford team, worn out by 900 miles of automobile travel in two days, to a 3-0 victory. Three Wolverines turned in their best performances of the season last Saturday. Bob Collins, right wing on the second line, played hard, aggres- sive hockey and several times broke through for shots at the goal but couldn't get the puck past Goalie Buzz Cockburn, the best net-minder Michigan has faced this year. Hank Loud, the Wolverine goalie, also rose to the heights however, leap- ing and diving, turning shot after shot aside to prevent the Canadians from running up a score. The third player who outdid himself was tall Paul Goldsmith, center on the Michi- gan first line. Goldy played a heady game, displaying plenty of stick- handling ability and he, too, was pre- vented from scoring only by a series, of unlucky breals. Coach Lowrey is well-satisfied with the experiment that sent Capt. Char- ley Ross up to the forward line with Goldsmith and Fife. He plans to start the same forward wall against Min- nesota Thursday. Eddie will also repeat' with a sec- oid line of Bob Collins, Fred Heddle and Jim Lovett while the third com- bination will once again be made up of Max Bahrych, John Petritz and Roy Bradley.

Grapplers Came From Behind In 15-13 Win Over Ohio State Although they were on. the tail end of a 13-3 score with half of the, match already gone, the Michigan wrestlers came from behind last Sat- urday to defeat Ohio State, 15-13. Veterans Art Paddy, Jim Galles, and John Paup, together with sopho- mores Bill Courtright, won their last four tussles to cinch the meet. The 'home grapplers defaulted the 121- pound clash, and Tom Weidig lost a heart-breaking one-point decision to Ohio's Harold Beshara, 10-9. Ray Deane followed with his fifth win in the 136-pound class, 6-5. In the last' of the two losses, Herb Barnett was pinned by Buckeye's captain Tony Martonaro at 7:34. Courtright again came through with a splendid fight, but this time he won by a decision over Ely Brad- field, 14-11. He piled up eight straight points by means of four take-downs. He took over Jim Galles' 175-pound division for his victory. Galles moved up to the unlimited class to win over Bob Thompson, 8-1., Paup took Captain Bill Comb's 155-pound match and completely out- classed Tom Wolfel. He won as he pleased, 10-0. In the other Wolverine win, Art Paddy defeated his tower- ing opponent, John Santschi, 10-5.1 The match started off poorly, butj Paddy just had too much againstj Santschi.
