igan to leave the floor with a meager
21-20 lead at half time. But once
McLain and Fisher got going in the
second half, the Wolverines found
themselves fighting a losing battle,

keep his mates in the game.

The pace was too fast for the tiring
Wolverines, however, and the Buck-

lead that they never relinquished.
Jack Graf caged a free throw, Jack
Dawson and McLain one-hand shots
from the foul line and McLain

Johnny Bulla, a North Carolina boy,
who made good in the big city of
Chicago, came from behind today
and won his first tournament in four
years of major competition-the
$10,000 Los Angeles Open.
The former Greensboro shotmaker
blasted out a sub par round of 69,

long-hitting Jimmy Thomson and
outdistanced the rest of the field to
post a 72-hole score of 71-66-75-69-
281.
The victory, worth $3,500 to the
26-year-old Bulla, was cheered to
the echo by a crowd of patrons who
had installed him as the popular
favorite aftera two-stroke penalty
for playing the wrong ball had set
him behind Thomson in yesterday's
third round.
Craig Wood, the big blond from
Mamaroneck, N.Y., sneaked into sec-

who had a 70, and Benny Hogan,
White Plains, N.Y., who also had a
70.

Harmon Grounded
En Route To Capital
For CampBanquet
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan.6-(P)-
Tom Harmon, University of Michi-
gan's All-America halfback, finally
made it out of Salt Lake City by
airplane today, but there appeared
little chance he could reach Washing-
ton tonight for a banquet planned
mainly in his honor.
Three thousand persons were
scheduled to attend that banquet,
at which Harmon was to be present-
ed the Walter A. Camp Memorial
award, and Tom was more -than a
bit perturbed as he paced the Mu-
nicipal airport wondering when the
weather would clear sufficiently to
allow his airliner to depart.
He left Los Angeles last night, but
the plane in which he arrived over
Salt Lake City about midnight was
forced back to Las Vegas, Nev., be-
cause Qf poor landing conditions here,

Hockey Team Is
ForMichigai
By ART HILL
Determined to start off the New
Year with a victory, Eddie Lowrey's
Michigan: hockey team has been
going about the business of preparing
for the invasion of Michigan Tech's
Huskies without a let-up.
The boys returned to the campus
a few days early and went through
stiff practice sessions both Friday
and Saturday. They will meet the
Huskies Thursday night and again
on Saturday.
As added incentive, Lowrey has
posted a clipping from the Ann Arbor
News on the locker room door. The
story was written by Mill Marsh,
sports editor of the News, and dealt
with Michigan's athletic prospects
for 1941.
Scribe is Pessimistic
Under "Hockey" Marsh penned the
opinion that the Wolverine pucksters
will be lucky to match their record
of last season when they won only
five games. lost fourteen and tied
one.
Minnesota, although weaker, will
still be strong enough to take Michi-
gan, according to Marsh, and Illi-
HJard At Work
n Tech Invaders
nois (from whom the Wolverines
took three victories last year) is a
greatly improved team and shouldj
prove too tough for Lowrey's lads.
Lowrey Disagrees
Although he won't go out on a
limb, it is plain to see that Eddie
thinks his club can make the author
of the offending article eat his words.
The players are even less restrained.
They think Mr. Marsh is dead wrong
and they intend to start proving it
this Thursday against Michigan
Tech.
In the early workouts, the Michi-
gan mentor has been especially im-
pressed with the work of Johnny
Gillis and Bob Kemp. Gillis, who
took a while to get in shape after
transferring from the swimming
team, has about reached his peak
of condition. He's skating faster and
demonstrating one of the hardest
and most accurate shots on the
squad.
Kemp, speedy sophomore wing-
man, has also been improving rapid-
ly and is developing into one of the
most aggressive players on the squad.
