Heading an impressive list of Go- pher defensemen is senior Ken Cramp, a hard-checking back-line. whose play against Michigan last sea- son equalled that of his co-defense- man, Rough and Ready Johnny Mari- ucci, in the opinion of several of the Wolverine players. Ian Anderson plays beside, Cramp on the blue line. Anderson' is an- other rough, aggressive boy who does- n't shy away from bodily contact. Like Cramp, he is a senior and both defensemen stand 5 feet 11 inches tall. In the goal for the visitors is rookie Burt Joseph who took over a Inan- sized job when he replaced the grad- uated Marty Falk who knew a good deal about the net-minding trade. Joseph has held his opponents to 35 goals in 14 games which is better- than-average record but he has had great support from his defensemen and a good set of back-checking for- wards. The Gophers' second forward line will likely be composed of Johnny Bollht at right wing, Bill Galligan at center and Al Eggleton in the left wing spot. Galligan is another sophomore piv- ot man and he is ranked almostron a par with Arnold. Eggleton, a jun- ior, saw plenty of action in last year's clashes between the two teams. Bolla did yeoman service in the first series this year between the two teams and Coach Larry Armstrong expects him to go well against the Wolverines to- night. Johnny Peterson and Bob Smith are the Gophers' reserve refensemen. Smith, 210-pound guard on the Min- nesota football team, is noted for his bruising body-checkF. Both boys are sophomores. , Wolverine mentor Eddie Lowrey Jake Townsend, Tom Harmon' To Lead All-Stars Tomorrow By GENE GRIBBROEK Jake Townsend and Tom Harmon -two of the greatest competitors that ever blazed the name of Michi- {. ,; gan across the nation's sports head- lines-will be back in action tomorrow night when they lead the Townsend All-Stars against the New York Ren- aissance pro basketballers in the WAA Swimming Pool Fund game. And advance ticket sales for the battle indicate that the attraction is just what fans around Ann Arbor have been looking for. All-American Harmon hasn't displayed his wares on the Field House court since he led the Wolverine varsity in scoring ....as a sophomore, and Townsend, the greatest ball-handler and passer in the nation as an undergraduate, has been absent as a player for much ': :too long.

Bill Combs' fight. Another fine match of the meet should be between Penn State's Capt. Frank Gleason and Michigan's sen- sational sophomore, Ray Deane. In his first season as a Wolverine 136- pound grappler, Deane has lost only one match. His loss was at the hands of Michigan State's Leland Merrill, who incidentially went on to pin Ok- lahoma's NCAA champ, Al White- hursh. Gleason, on the other hand, has yet to be defeated in two years of dual competition. He was the Eastern champion in 1939.. In the 175-pound tussle, Michi- gan's tricky Bill Courtright will pro- bably face Joe' Valla who has been a good first-year performer on the, Lion's squad. Courtright uses a style of wrestling that is not very commona on the mat. He prefers to build up a margin in points by take-downs and f reverses than to work too much down on the mat.

G , D .D W P W Minnesota Joseph Cramp Anderson Arnold. Paulsen (c) Junger Lanky Bill Cartm To Oosterbca By NORM MILLER It's funny what one man can do for a basketball team. When the Wolverines lost the ser- vices of forward Bob Fitzgerald ear- lier in the season, the team went in- to a hopeless tailspin, dropped six 1out of its first seven Conference games, and landed with a ciash into the Big Ten cellar. All during that trying stretch, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan shuttled six different cagers into the vacated position in a vain effort to locate suf- ficient scoring punch to turn some of those heartbreaking few-point set- backs into victories. And, ironically enough, after Mich- igan .was hopelessly out of the run- ning for the Conference title, Bennie finally found his man. It was lanky Bill Cartmill, freckle- faced, red headed senior from Verona, N.J., who stepped into the breach and spelled the difference between a Big Ten doormat and a team that had something more than just five players filling Maize and Blue uni- forms. The chestnut-topped beanpole, one of the six failures at the troublesome forward position earlier in the sea- son, had been warming the bench for a long time when the Wolverines reached their lowest ebb in the deb- acle against Northwestern about one month ago. Oosterbaan, having already tried every able-bodied man on the squad for the job, in desperation began making the rounds all over again, and called on Cartmill. This time Bill clicked, and since that night, the slender red-head has played the ma- jor role in the rejuvenation of the Varsity basketball team. He's scored 57 points in sseven games, an average of over eight points per game; his clever passing and ag- gressive floor game have injected a new spark in the Wolverines' attack; Earl Averill Signs With Boston Bees EVERETT, Wash., Feb. 26.-(A')- Earl Averill, veteran major league outfielder given his outright release last winter by Detroit, said today he had signed with the Boston Bees. The Snohomish florist spent 12 years in the American League, all with Cleveland, before going to De- troit a year and a half ago. He said an offer from the Baltimore Orioles till Adds Spark I Ins Cage LineupI and, most important of all, Bill's been an invaluable asset to the team through his superb work in snagging rebounds under both baskets. Blessed with a pair of kangaroo legs and an excellent sense of timing, "The Wheel" has an uncanny knack of shooting his six-foot, two-inch frame up into the air to snag balls from right under the noses of his taller opponents. The Illini rarely had a second shot at the hoop as a result of Bill's masterful control of the backboard. Add to this Cartmill's happy facul- ty of coming through with a basket right at a crucial stage in the game, and you have the answer to Michi- gan's spectacular comeback after a' hopeless start. The only flaw in Bill's recent performances has been a slight tendency to travel, but vith a pair of 1 size 14 feet-who could help it? Cartmill, now enjoying his third year on the Michigan cage squad learned his basketball from his dad, a coach at Montclair High School in New Jersey, who twice squirmed in' his seat on the bench while he watched his offspring lead Verona to victories over his own Montclair quin- tet. Among his team mates and coaches the good-natured red-head is one of, the best-liked players on the squad. All sophomores interested in try- ing out for baseball manager re- port at the south end of the Field House at 4 p.m. Monday. Charles Knapp, Baseball Manager ago; and Ed Frutig, All-American end on Fritz Crisler's grid squad who will show that he's just as good on a basketball floor. To assure the spectators a full eve- ning of top-flight entertainment for heir contribution to the Swimming Pool Fund, a special preliminary be- tween two girls' teams made up of 1 Michigan students will follow the flag-raising and National Anthem at 7:30 p.m. Jane Grove. WAA presi- dent, promised a good game in an- nouncing the addition to the program last night. A change in the rules of the girls' game this year has opened' up the sport and injected as much 4 action into it as most men's tilts pro- vide. The famed Michigan Varsity Band,! a feature of all big sporting events in Ann Arbor, will be present and will play before and during both games. The main contest will/get under way at approximately 8:15 p.m. Bud Keetch Chosen Head Cheerleader At the final home basketball game of the current season last Mondayk evening, Robert 'Bud' Keetch, '42E, was elected to the position of Wol- verine head cheerleader for 1941, and was introduced to the audience by Art Treut, '41A, the retiring scream; team leader. Bud hails from Buffalo, N.Y.,J where he attended Bennett High School and there served on the cheerleading squad. He is a mem- ber of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, Scalp and Blade, and was recently elected to All-American cheerlead- ing honors by Gamma Sigma, Na-. tional Honorary Cheerleaders' Frat- ternity. Andy Ritter, '42E, and Art Treut were also chosen as All-Ameri- cans in the last election. Jack Kerns; Herb Barnet against By HAL WILSON CINDERS FROM THE CINDER- PATH: Michigan track followers got a little better idea yesterday of the tremendous task confronting th Wolverines in next week's Conference meet . . . statistics were revealed which showed the Dohertymen have lost performers who scored 16 3-7 of the 32 5-14 points they accumu- lated in the individual events while chalking up their seventh straight indoor title last year . . . Indiana's star-studded crew on the other hand retains 23 6-7 points from its 1940 total . . . the Hoosiers did have an- other four-point winner returning in the person of two-miler Ed Hedges . but you can find him doing his running while on sentry duty in Uncle Sam's army nw . In Tesday's smashing triangu- lar victory up at Michigan State junior Al Thomas came through with a very encouraging perform- ance in the low hurdles and the 75-yard dash . . . A much herald- ed scholastic ace from Detroit Cooley, Thomas incurred a serious ankle injuy in his initial appear- ance as a Wolverine in last year's Illinois Relays . . And through- out the rest of the season the speedster was bothered by weak leg muscles. At the start of the current indoor campaign the plan was to run him only in the 440-yard dash and the relay in order to build up his legs . then Tuesday he started for the first time" in the shorter, more muscle- straining events . . . in the dash the Detroit lad nosed out teammate Bud Piel, while in the low barrier event he waged a hot duel with Mich- igan Normal's great Whitey Had, actually leading at the fou'rth hurdle . the Huron finally won the deci- sion by scant inches, but Thomas' fine performance brightens Michi- gan's hurdle prospects % : . Quarter-miler Bob Barnard, who performed in his specialty at East Lansing, was spiked on the first lap, faltered, then blazed' out in front and won the race . . . after returning to Ann Arbor it took five stitches to close the. wound . . . the fast-moving little senior is definitely out of Saturday's Ohio State meet, but he is expected to be in top shape for the all-im- portant Conference meet ... Lanky Wes Allen, senior high- jumper, added an encouraging note to yesterday's practice when he leaped 6 feet with comparative ease after overcoming a former wat- er-on-the-knee ailment, Allen suf- fered another setback a month ago when he severed a tendon in his hand but now he is rounding into good shape again . . . Warren Breid- enbach, who copped a second in the quarter in last year's Conference In- door meet, was working out at the Field House yesterday . . . but the smooth-striding senior still has a scholastic deficiency to make up .. . Another 440 ace, big Jack Leutritz, has been hampered by strined leg muscles and will not see action against the Buckeyes, but is expected to be ready for the Conference. CHARLEY PINK Sidat-Singh and his amazing skill, are a major attraction every timej they appear. Besides the best in bas- ketball, the troupe presents a colorful, thrilling show wherever it plays. Townsend, fully aware of the com- petition his team will be up against, has assembled a squad of ex-Michi- gan stars that is strong enough to give any club a battle. Back on the cburt with Townsend and Harmon where they made history as Wolverine stars will be Charlie Pink, push-shot spec- ialist; Eddie Thomas, scrappy little guard; Jim Rae, tall, lanky passing and shooting wonder; Herm Fishman, the varsity's Mike Sofiak three years FRANK GLEASON Glenn Alexander; and, Tom Weidig against Clair Hess.
