Bob Petaja pushed a beautiful backhand shot into the net. The game was almost half over before the Wolverines were able to tie the score. Paul Goldsmith turned the trick at 9:18 of the second period with Kemp and Charley Ross, receiv- ing credit for assists on the play. A few seconds later, center Dave Wilson of Tech was sent to the pen- alty box for interference and the Wolverines swarmed down the ice to take advantage of the break. Goalie Meyers turned in some sen- sational saves but Gillis finally put the Wolverines in the lead at 12:35 on passes from Bahrych and Stod- den. Bert Stodden tallied the third Wol- verine goal early in the thirdtperiod on a sold dash the length of the ice. It was a great bit of offensive play since the little defense man had to skate through the entire Tech team to make the score.' Fred Baird, burly Port Huron de- fense man, scored for the visitors a minute later with a 50-foot shot which slipped between Hank Loud's ankles to make the score 3-2.

THROUGHOUT the opening battles in this 1941 hockey campaign, Ed- die Lowrey used to sit on the Wolverine bench and watch his team take beatings without getting discouraged. "They're young and green. Yep, young and green," he used to say. "Watch 'em. Give them some time. Why some of these kids are playing for first time. Wait and see." Well, the fireworks came last night on the Coliseum ice in the form of a 6-2 shellacking of the Miner sextet from Michigan Tech. The Wolverines had that certain something tnat Eddie has been prom- ising us ever since the campaign got under way. Tech scored first, but once Michigan settled down, the game took on a different light. Skating faster, and charging harder, the Wolverines completely baf- fled their foes from the Northland. They were alert and on the move. They displayed a brand of checking that was crisper and more skillful than any that the Maize and Blue outfit we've seen on the Coliseum ice since the days when Michigan used to hold Minnesota on even terms, Mariucci and all. In fact, they made it so easy for goalie Hank Loud, that the box- office threatened to charge him an admision price when the game was over. BOB IGNEY . ..

Wolverines Compile Impressive All-Sports Record During 1940 'I By HAL WILSON, Concrete evidence that the old catchline "Champions of the West" is much more than just a hollow boast was impressively supplied by Michigan athletes in 1940. During a year which saw more and more of the cream of the world's youth being cast under the crimson shadow of Mars, Wolverine athletes compiled a handsome all-sports won and lost average of .630, sweeping 75 dual engagements while losing but 44 and tying two. In Western Conference competition the Maize and Blue demonstrated its sports power in dynamic fashion, romping off with three champion- ships, finishing second in four title chases, and ending fourth, fifth and sixth only once each.,. - In addition Matt Mann's swimming juggernaut rounded out an unbeat- I-M Sports: Phi Delts Top List Of House Standings Phi Delta Theta is now leading the field in. intejfraternity competition with a 498 point total, according to house standings issued this week by the Intramural Department. But there is a good chance that the Phi Delts' lead will be a short-lived one, with three sports - swimming, water polo and handball - still un- decided. Psi Upsilon looms as a threat for the top position, since they meet Phi Gamma Delta for the swimming title and Delta Kappa Ep- silon for the water polo champion- ship. Moreover, in the final ratings the Phi Delts may be headed by the four houses immediately below them in the present standings, which list as the top ten: Phi Delta Theta ............. 498 Chi Psi...................470 Phi Kappa*Psi ..............441 Chi Phi .................... 427 Theta Xi..................425 Sigma Phi Epsilon........390 Sigma Chi.................. 383 Beta Theta Pi.............. 374 Kappa Nu .................. 370 Zeta Beta Tau .............. 354 you want to keep up with the latest books get our RENTAL LIBRARY HABIT... 3e a day en season by copping both the Na- tional Intercollegiate and the Na- tional A.A.U. indoor crowns as well as the Western Conference title. Contributing Michigan's other two conference championships, Coach Ken Doherty's track powerhouse swept both the indoor and outdoor meets. A lone dual meet loss to Pitts- burgh, 67-64, marred the cindermen's otherwise fine record. Ranking second in the conference standings and among the top teams in the nation, Fritz Crisler's gridiron powerhouse won seven battles, while sustaining the one loss to Milnesota. Unbeaten in dual competition dur- ing 1940 the Wolverine golfmen won 11 of their 12 meets, a tie coming in. the final meet. The linksmen trailed Illinois in the conference meet. Cliff Keen's wrestlers followed up a fine dual meet record of six wins and two losses with a second place in the conference championships and a third in the National Intercol- legiates. On the tennis courts the Wolver- ines dropped the curtain on their season with a fourth place in the Big Ten meet, after having taken 11 of their 16 dual matches. On the darker side of the ledger are the showings of the basketball, baseball and hockey teams. The puck- men closed with a second place in the three-way conference race, but won only four of 20 contests. The cagemen finished sixth in the toltgh conference chase, while Ray Fisher's diamond charges ended fifth. Don Bjanken, the team's leadingC scorer last year, and Forrest Sprowl, high scorer so far this season, arej the starting forwards, while the cen- ter position is taken care of by gi- gantic, six-foot, five-inch Foresti Weber, six-foot, three-inch Ben Kor- schot, or Bill Neutzel, six-two in height. Charlie Caress and John Tierney, both lettermen, and sophomore Bob Riley are the mainstays in the Boil- ermakers' reserve corps.' Under the colorful "Piggy" Lam- , bert, Purdue teams have compiled an; enviable record over the past 24 years. They have held undisputed posses- sion of the Conference crown six times and have tied for the title on five other occasions in chalking up a total of 313 victories against 101! defeats. Tank Opponenti Cancels Meet F. And M. Surprise Move Changes Team's Plans Matt Mann got another dose of the "Runout Powder" yesterday when he received word from Lancaster, Penn., that a scheduled swimming meet between Franklin and Marshall and the University of Michigan on Jan. 17 had been called off. Dick Price, one of the F&M stars wrote that his "Athletic Committee already has plans for the dates sug-£ gested" and so the second successive team in two weeks had backed out on the Wolverines. Only last week the Pennsylvania A.C. of Philadelphia cancelled their encounter with Mich- igan. Franklin and Marshall's surprise action left the Maize and Blue team with only a meet against the New York A.C. at New York, Jan. 18. They were to have two chances to show their wares, but successive cancella- tions blotted that out. Instead of leaving next Thursday for their swing through the East the squad will depart from Ann Arbor early Friday morning, returning late Sunday night. Though the change in plans was a disappointment, the team didn't ease up on the terrific training pace it set for itself after the Florida trip. Jack Wolin, veteran diver who is out of school this semester, has been hard at work for the past few days with T-Bone Martin and Lou Haugh- ey, on the high board while the swimmers have been churning the pool relentlessly. I Those green performers in the earlier battles, Kemp, Bahrfch and Gil- lis, did exactly what Lowrey promised. While their hockey still has many obvious flaws, there was improvement, but definitely. Especially this Gillis. He'll be a big help to the Wolverine squad before this year is finished. His switch from Matt Mann's swimming corps seems more sensible every time he appears on the ice. Gillis has the ability, and what's even more important, the necessary amount of guts. With a little more polish and speed, big John will be right at the top of college hockey. ONE THING LOWREY HAS TO WATCH this year is the temperament of his squad. Tuesday night, for example, war broke out within Wolverine ranks which was fortunately quieted before last night's tilt. It all happened during one of the regular practice sessions. Gil Samuelson was skating back and forth in front of Hank Loud at the net. The Michigan goalie, who has the right to push an opponent out of the crease, shoved Gil with his stick, but the blow went too high and cracked Samuelson across the head. Without hesitating, Gil dropped his stick, turned around and slugged Hank. Lowrey raced over and chased Samuelson off the ice. Disgusted with it all, Gil strutted off and set for home. By the time he got there, however, Lowrey had called to say that all was forgiven. Last night, Samuelson started for the Wolverines which proved the coach's desire for lasting peace. If Lowrey succeeds in keeping his squad working together smoothly through the rest of the year, we ought to see some pretty fair hockey around Ann Arbor this year.
