THE MICHIGAN DAILY PACF.T~f - ----------- mmmmmmmpmwq Whip s Go plers, 4124, For First Big Ten Win victory Lifts Varsity Cagers Out Of Cellar Weak Minnesota Quintet Unable To Stop Ruehle, Capt. Brogan, Mel Comin (Continued from Page 1) Referees McDonald and Rieff saw fit to call 29 personal fouls and, for the second time in as many tilts at the Field House, ejected one of the com- batants from the game. This time it was Don Carlson of the visitors who got the gate for tripping Sofiak in the second half. Mike also left the game on personal fouls with four minutes to play.I The first half saw the score tied no less than four times. Five straight points by center Bill Lind of Min-? nesota gave the Gophers an 11-7 lead after 10 minutes of play, but a pair of neat baskets by Ruehle, both on passes from Jim Grissen, knotted the score., Varsity Leads At Half Sofiak's foul shot and a dog shot by Jim Mandler put the Varsity hoop- men out front, and they never trailed again. Baskets by Brogan and Mand- ler just before the half ended pro- vided Michigan with an 18-15 gdvan- tage at the halfway mark. The second half started off slow- ly until Sofiak cut loose. After five minutes of listless basketball, little Mike tossed in eight points within six minutes of play which, added to a pair of hoops by Brogan and a basket and three fouls by Mel Comi, pulled the Wolverines far out in front of the losers.

"They have height, speed and a good deal of class," the genial coach remarked. "I'm sure they'll produce." In the limelight at the center post is a handsome chap from Flint Northern, Ralph Gilbert. Ralph garn- ered All-State honors while attend- ing the famous Flint institution, and he appears to have lost none of his old touch. He handles the ball ex-! ceptionally well and is all arms and shoulders when going for rebounds. Pregulman Reports Reporting late, but nevertheless very much in the picture is big Merv Pregulman of Lansing, who is slow- ly getting his basketball legs after spending a few months with the freshman grid squad. Also getting plenty of Fisher's attention are Carl McNicholas of Marenisco and foot- baller Fred Bryan of Melvindale. Fisher has a host, of evenly matched men contesting in the for- ward posts. Harrison "Cas" Caswell, an Ann Arbor boy with a Kiski back- ground, is making a strong bid for top honors in this department, "Big Cas" f is a clever passer, 'protects the ball nicely when dribbling, and is well adapted physically to the rugged style of ball that awaits him. McNaughton Looks Good Hal McNaughton, a fire-horse va- riety of cager from Muncie, Indiana, and lanky Wally Spreen, who excels in one-handed shots, are looking very much like varsity timber. Bob Shemky, an Upper Peninsula lad is the equal of any forward on the squad, and will surely be heard from.
