"" THE MICHIGAN DAILY don wirtehafter's I Puckmen Undergo Stiff Practice For Huskies Tilt DAIL Y DOUBLE Bennie Pleased With Cagem , I, High Street Troubles,. . THE DOUBLE got in an argument yesterday. An old friend cornered us in the Union and asked whom we thought would be the new Ohio State grid coach. The whole thing started when we barked back "Paul Brown" without hesitating. "Aw, you're nuts," came the re- ply. "St. John would never pick a high school coach to carry on such a task. You watch and see, George Hauser will get the job hands down." Our friend had logic to back his arguments. He pointed out that Hauser, the present Minnesota line coach, has built the forward walls which have spelled defeat for Wol- verine teams for the past seven years. A record like that is all Ohio is look- ing for. A Buckeye coach can keep his job as long as he wants as long as he beats Michigan each cam- paign. Then the Double went into action. We were still far from convinced. Granted, Ohio probably would like to settle for Hauser right now and would feel quite safe about the sit- uation. But the Buckeye officials are in hot water. They have a serious problem on their hands, one they never dreamed about when they first went out shopping for the man to succeed Schmidt. Somebody had to go and mention the name- of Paul Brown at that time. Several newspapers started campaigns. Brown, to them, was the natural choice. He was young and tremendously affable. His record at Massilon High was astounding. His teams were unbeatable. But Ohio hesitated over the mat- ter. After all, there is a whale of a difference in handling high school and college men. The older lads like td think for themselves. They have a different spirit and will on the field of battle from the kids who would "do or die" for good old Creepy Val- ley .Junior High. Brwn was a gam- ble. Some other more experienced man would be a much surer invest- ment. And while Ohio stopped to con- sider the matter, the deluge came. It came in the form of pressure from every other high school coach in the state. These scholastic football mentors jumped on the Brown bandwagon and were' quick to inform the Ohio officials :about it. They threatened to start urging their stars to attend other schools if Brown didn't get the job. After all, you can't blame these coaches. They have everything to gain by hoisting Brown into the Buckeye helm. It's their big chance to prove that a successful high school coach can also make good in the big time. If Brown can do the trick, all of these men's stock will be doubled in value. Now Ohio is wondering. Can they gamble on Brown? If they don't, what about the demands of his backers? The Buckeye squad is filled each year with Ohio men. What chance would another coach have in Columbus without the support of the high school coaches throughout the state? Frankly, the Double thinks he'd have his troubles. A 40-0 score would be tame.k Nope, Hauser or no Hauser, we still stick with Paulsy-Waly Brown as the most logical candi- date. LYLE BOND, Michigan outstand- ing pitching candidate, had a tuberculin kidney removed during IMentor Lauds Bill Cartmill, Leo Doyle, Herrmann To Plug Forward Hole By NORM MILLER When the Michigan basketball' team trounced Michigan Normal by 20 points earlier in the season, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan wore a face as long as a billy goat. But when the Wolverines dropped their Big Ten opener to Ohio State by 10 points Monday, Bennie's vis- age was all smiles.' Why the strange paradox? Because in spite of the fact. that they lost to the Buckeyes, the Varsity cagers' turned in one of their best perfor- mances of the yet young campaign, and in the eyes of Oosterbaan, prom- ise to rmake plenty of trouble for the Conference top notchers before the season is over." "We've got a great bunch of scrap- pers," remarked Oosterbaan yester_ day afternoon, "The gang fought their hearts out in that game. But the OSU team that beat us couldj have defeated almost anyone that night. They were that, good. We won'ti bump into playing like that all the time." The Varsity mentor was especially enthusiastic over Captain Herb Bro- F gan's performance in the encounter Fitz, with the Bucks.

Doyle, a scrub at the start of the season, has come along rapidly the past few weeks.

Gillis, Ross Spark Squad; Players Out To Avenge Defeats Of Last Year By BOB STAHL Shuffling his puckmen into severalj different combinations in an effort to select a starting team for the en- counter with Michigan College of Mines here Thursday night, Coach Eddie Lowrev put his charges through a stiff practice session last night at the Coliseum With the skaters concentrating on offense, goalies Hank Loud and Hugh McVeigh had their hands full. John- ny Gillis, who is fast acquiring an acurgte, driving shot, and Charley Ross. always a Wolverine scoring threat, displayed a powerful offen- sive combination as they brought the puck time and again into scoring position and set up goals. And with the Michigan Techmen noted as a high-scoring aggregation, from all appearances Thursday night's game should be one of the best ever played on the Coliseum ice. Team Has Incentives- The Michigan team has several added incentives spurring them on in their preparation for this game. Be- sides wanting to show Mill Marsh, Ann Arbor News scribe, that he was wrong in saying that their chances for victory were none too bright against the Huskies, the puckmen bear something bf a grudge against the Huskies themselves. It seems that the hockey schedule was completed early last July, with Michigan set to play a two-game home and home match with the Col- lege of Mines. Early this fall, how- ever, the Miners cancelled the two contests which were to be played at Houghton, Michigan, in order to schedule an additional two games with the University of Minnesota. Consequently, the Wolverines are deprived of one of their longest trips of the season. Wide Open Game Moreover, the Michigan team is out to avenge the three defeats suf- fered at the hands of the Miners last year, when they conquered the squad from Houghton only once. So with the Wolverines determined to win this game and with both teams pre- paring to stage a wide-open offensive drive, Thursday night's encounte' gives much promise of being the start of a new era in the history of Mich- igan hockey. Dean Signs Cub Contract CHICAGO, Jan. 7. -(p)- Dizzy Dean may have lost his fast ball but the lanky Chicago Cubs' pitcher showed plenty of speed today in re- turning his signed contract for the 1941 season. Ol' Diz sent the signed document in so quickly that it became the first signed contract received in the Cub office.

The American League Champion Ctawthon Resigns Texas Tech Post LUBBOCK, Tex., Jan. 7. --(P)- Drawlin' Peter Willis Cawthon, mak- er of winning football teams and one of the most picturesque char- acters in the coaching profession, re- signed today as athletic director and head coach of Texas Tech College to escape a deemphasis movement. He acted "in the friendliest spirit, and with no disagreements or hard feelings toward anyone," after it be- came certain that college athletic officials were determined to start scheduling minor opponents. "It just boiled down to the fact that the school wanted to break away from a major schedule and I wanted to keep climbing in my profession," Cawthon said. Detroit Tigers were represented by one player-Hank Greenberg in left field. The New York Yankees, who placed five- men on the team in 1939, when they were World Champions, slipped to two - Joe DiMaggio in center field and Joe Gordon at sec- ond, both repeaters. DiMaggio was almost unanimous. getting 301 of a total of 308 votes.! Other All-Star choices were Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox, right field; Luke Appling, Chicago White Sox, (shortstop; Stan Hack, Chicago Cubs, third base; Harry Danning, New York Giants, catcher, and Bobby Fel- ler, Cleveland, pitcher. Walters, Fel- ler and Williams were on last year's team. The All-Star lineup of 11 players included six from the American League and five from the N&tional.
