But once McLain and Fisher got going in the second half, the Wolverines found themselves fighting a losing battle, despite Brogan's gallant efforts to keep his mates in the game. The little Wolverine leader con- nected with two neat. set shots to match a pair of hoops by Fisher at the outset of the second half, and then tossed in a foul shot to give the Varsity a 26-24 lead. Fisher then tied the score on a follow-up shot before Sofiak and McLain rang up. double-deckers to preserve the dead- lock at 28-all. Wolverines Tire The pace was too fast for the tiring Wolverines, however, and the Buck- eyes swept through to a commanding lead that they never relinquished.

MIKE SOFIAK JBulla Captures Golfing CrownA At Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6-(P)- 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, two under for the 7,000-yard Riviera Country Club Course, overhauled 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- and place and $1,700 of the rich purse with a 68 today for 283, while the pace-setting Thomson faded with a 74 for 285-one stroke back of Clayton Heafner of Linville, N.C., who had a 70, and Benny Hogan, White Plains, N.Y., who also had a 70.

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.

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. . i I i fi TENNIS ENTRIES Entries for the annual All-Cam- pus Winter Tennis Singles Tour- nament, to begin Sunday, Jan. 12, will close tomorrow, Jan. 8.
