For Third Time
Seven Seniors Are Listed'
For 1940-41 Activities-
Squad To Elect Captain
Ten members of the Michigan bas-
ketball team that wound up its season
in seventh place in the Big Ten Con-
ference r'ace were awarded varsityj
letters for their 1940-41 activities,
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan announced
yesterday afternoon.
The list of letter-winners includes:C
Captain Herb Brogan, Lansing; Bill
Cartmill, Verona, N.J.; Mel Comin,
Chicago; Leo Doyle, Pequaming; Joe
Glasser, Enid, Okla.; Bill Herrman,
Detroit; Jim Mandler, Chicago;
George Ruehle, Detroit; Mike Sofiak,
Gary, Ind.; and Hal Westerman, Ann
Arbor.
Another member of the Wolverine
squad, Bill Houle of Bellevue, Ohio,
received a secondary award.
For Brogan and Sofiak, the two
tiniest members of the Michigan cage
squad, it marked the third time in
their careers that the pair had been
so honored. Cartmill, Glasser and
Ruehleaalso won their varsity 'M'
last year.
Seven of the ten recipients of the
varsity insignia are seniors, thus
leaving Oosterbaan with only Jim
Mandler, Met Comm and Leo Doyle
as letterwinning holdovers for next
year's quintet. However, the probable
return of Bob Fitzgerald and Jim
Grissen, both of whom won letters
last year but were lost to the team
this season through sickness and in-
eligibility, makes the outlook for the
future more promising.
The new crop of lettermen will
meet today to elect the captain for
next season.

Swim, Team,
Due To Crack
Big Tien. Mark
By WOODY BLOCK#
Gunning for his third Big Ten
champi6nship and 12th in 15 years,
Matt Mann is taking a super-charged'
swimming team so packed with pow-
er that a new Conference scoring
record is sure to be made after the
Wolverines finish blasting the other
tan kmen out of commission at Iowa
this week-end.
In 1939 the Mannatators rolled up
73 points while sweeping the title
from their closest rival, Ohio State,
and this year, with more power in
the Maize and Blue and less in the
rest of the circuit, another Michigan
record will hit the books.

ing facts:
Bert Stodden is an excellent de-
fenseman. This has long been com-
mon knowledge but it was conclusive-
ly proved Saturday. The little de-
fenseman succeeded in breaking up
no less than 16 Gopher scoring
thrusts during the course of the game.
Right behind Stodden came husky
John Gillis who was credited with
11 play-breaks. This makes a total
of 27 foi the two Michigan defense-
men, three more than the entire Min-
nesota team made, indicating that the
visitors started a lot more plays than
did the Wolverines.
The Twin Cities club also took
many more shots than did the locals,
firing 43 times to Michigan's 28. Eight
of the Minnesota shots were wide
of the net, 33 were cleared by Goalie
Hank Loud and two of them hit the
cords. Of Michigan's 28 shots, only
18 were accurate and 17 of them were
stopped by Burt Joseph, the Gopher
net-minder.
Ross Makes Six
Leading individual shot-makers
were Capt. Harold (Babe) Paulsen
for Minnesota with 10 and Capt.
Charley Ross for Michigan with 6.
Paulsen scored once while Ross failed
to dent the laces at all.
Fred Junger, who scored the other
Gopher tally, tried seven times. The
best average went to Bob Collins
who scored Michigan's only goal. Col-
lins shot but three times, connecting
once, for percentage of .333,.
Maybe this information is of in-
terest to the reader. We found it
so. At least we were able to prove
(to our own satisfaction) that thel
Already this week, there is a far
different attitude around the pool.
