'Shut-The-Gates-Of-Mercy' Matt Able To Determine Size Of Score Himself 1 Eager to show Michigan swimming %l fans the power that will undoubted- ly carry the Wolverines to another' triple title conquest this year, Matt Mann is going to 'shoot the works' against Purdue Saturday night. Early indications of the lineup he intends to use point to only one thing -that the Boilermakers are in for al massacre. With a pool virtually overflowing with talent, Matt has only one way out to keep peace'and quiet on his team and that is to give the fellows Who have the ability and are work- JOHN SHAREMET ing hard a chance.

Two New Indoor Track Events WillAidIndianatInCounferetce By HAL WILSON The lid of the coffin in which In- -liana hopes to bury Michigan's .hances for an eighth consecutive Big ren Indoor Track title appears to 'lave been nailed down a little tight- ar by a pair of potent spikes in the form of two new events which will be added to the meet program this year. Hurdle And Broad Jump By a vote of the 10 cinder. men- tors at their annual meeting last month it was decided to include for the first time the 70-yard low hurdle and broad jump events on the indoor card. And this little piece of legis- lation, completed over a conference table in a Chicago hotel room, now looms as a vital factor in ultimately determining whether or not Coach Ken Doherty's Wolverines can suc- cessfully defend their remarkable line of triumphs from the ferocious on- slaught of a very powerful Hoosier squad. Tabbed by the experts as a meet which will be a virtual deadlock right ! up to the last event, the addition of the new low barrier race and the broad jump even further compli- cates the outcome. According to past and present performances, al- ways to be viewed with a critical eye of course, Indiana appears to have gained a definite advantage and i should be able to add about eight points to its total, while the Doherty- men can figure to gain about five and pray that some dark horse cinder- man can sneak in and grab another point or two. Meet To Be Close And in a meet as close as this one stacks up to be, a couple markers either way can easily swing the final result to one squad or the other. It is in the low stick race, especial- ly, that the Hoosiers' quest for points will be enhanced, for the event is almost perfectly suited for their ace hurdler and dashman, Roy Cochran. In a similar race at the Butler Re- lays last year, which was just 10 yards shorter, Cochran won handily in 6.9 seconds, only two-tenths off the world's record, and the Indiana star will accordingly be the heavy favorite to cop first in this new event. Just who will emerge as Michigan's strongest men to challenge Cochran is still a question mark. Six hurd- lers have displayed definite promise in pre-season workouts, and Doherty should be able to select some cap- able starters from among Neil Mac- lIntyre, Jeff Hall, Frank McCarthy, Al Thomas, Bob Barnard and Jim Byerly. Cochran Is Threat In the broad jmp again it is Coch- ran with whom the Wolverines must contend. Sixth in the conference outdoor meet last spring, with a leapI of 23 feet, two inches, the HoosierE will be forced to face four of the same jumpers who beat him then, but nevertheless it is quite possible that he will finish as high as second or third. Michigan's lone hope in this event is sophomore Frank McCarthy whose best leap to date is 22 feet, six inches. McCarthy possesses a world of power, however, and is developing very rap- idly. I t Tt l Squad Leaves Today Westerman Will Replace Grissen; Cagers To Seek Second Conference Win Ten members of the Wolverine bas- ketball team will embark by train for Evanston, Ill., late this afternoon, where the Varsity quintet is slated to meet Northwestern tomcrrow. The list of players named yester- day by Coach Bennie Oosterbaan in- cluded: Capt. Herb Brogan, George Ruelile, Mike Sofiak, Jim Mandler, In spite of sickness, injuries and he United States Immigration Au- horities, the Michigan hockey teami vill play a hockey game tomorrow 'iight with the strong Sarnia A.C. aggregation. Eddie Lowrey is not go- ing very far out on a limb, with a crippled squad on his hands, but he's confident the boys will give a good account of themselves. Sarnia Leads League "This Sarnia team is good," Eddie says, "they're leading their league in the Intermediate Ontario Hockey Association. They've got a stronger outfit than the London A.C. but we've improved since we played London and I think we'll give these fellows a battle." The Wolverines were nosed out by a 7-5 score by London in the opening game of the season, an over-1. time battle. For the last couple of nights, the local lads have been forced to prac- tice short-handed because two or three of the boys have been side- lined by illness. Johnny Gillis re- gained full action last night after a mild attack of flu had laid him low temporarily. Paul Goldsmith, the Wolverines' lanky junior center, is still out as far as practicing is concerned but Low- rey has hopes that he'll be ready to go by Saturday night at 8 p.m. Other Complications Earlier in the week, there were other complications. Just when everything seemed to be going nicely, with the first Minnesota series be- hind them, Eddie learned that there was a possibility that the Immigra- tion Officials were getting a little recalcitrant. In fact, they were threatening to throw a monkey wrench in the works for fair. It seems that the gentlemen at the border let drop the information that the Sarnia team might find it difficult to get across the line. In- i!!k_ I Glimpse Of Pro Puck Life Afforded As Red Wings PracticeOnLocal Ice By ART HILL "I've been with the Wings for The Detroit Red Wings were in years now. Only 26 more to go,"1 town yesterday morning . . . worked said, "but I doubt if I can make out at the Coliseum for two hours It seems like a life-time already." 14 he it. they looked plenty good- - fast, clever skaters ... stick hand- ling par excellence and shots that hit a dime at 20 feet. They meet the Americans in Detroit tonight. Wings Have 'Guts' "They may lack finesse in some spots," Genial Jack Adams, the Wings manager, pointed out, "but they've got as much guts as any team I've ever handled. There's no substitute for hustle." Wally Weber compared Adams' career to that of Yost. Adams laughed. Cripple List Adams wasn't kidding about the Wings' collective intestinal fortitude. Don Grosso was playing with eight stitches in his foot. Alex Motter plays in spite of a foot so sore he can hardly walk on it. Sid Abel had an injured shoulder which he re-in- jured at yesterday's session. "Now for a whole afternoon under the old sun lamp," he commented dryly. Sid added that he would just as soon play the whole 48 games in a row. "Practicing is just as hard as play- ing," he laughed. I Ebbie Goodfellow, the Detroit club's veteran defenseman and assistan~t manager, bemoaned the team's recent string of injuries. "Two weeks ago, we were as good as any team in the league," he said, "now look at us. We're lucky if we can put seven men on the ice who are in decent shape."' Mariucci Shows Promise In re the future of John Mariucci, the Chicago Blackhawk's rookie de- fenseman who starred for Minneso- ta's Gophers for three years, Good- fellow was optimistic. "He's a good skater and a hard checker," said FINAL CLEARANCE NECKWEAR 3 for $2.95 Values to $2.50 Sale closes Jan. 31 Van Boven Inc. !Ebbie. "He has a good chance tof make the grade." Jimmy Orlando agreed. "Mariucci's just learning," the Wings' bad man pointed out, "but he's 'got plenty of fight." Orlando was enthusiastic about the Ann Arbor weather. "We'd play better hockey if we could play in air like this all the time," he said'. "This ice is darn nice too. You can really move out there." Rookies Greeted Enthusiastically Connie Brown and Dick Behling arrived late. And with good reason. They played a game Wednesday night in Indianapolis, then grabbed a train for Detroit to join the Red Wings. They were greeted enthusiastically by the Wings who shook hands with them and patted them on the back very heartily thus refuting the legend that rookies are looked on with scorn by the veterans. Colorful Johnny Mowers, the Wings' first-year goalie, didn't stop laughing and wise-cracking through- out the entire two-hour session. According to the \ Detroit, goalie, Roy Conacher of the Bruins and Tony Demers of Les Canadiens have the hardest shots in the game. Syl Apps, Toronto's brilliant center man, is also hard to stop because of his excellent stick-handling, Johnny says. Dressing-Room Songbird The dressing room chatter was dom- inated by Carl Liscombe who insisted that he could sing better than some- one he had heard on a Wednesday night radio program. He proceeded to prove it by giving a hoarse rendi- tion of "Home on the Range" which stopped abruptly when he was hit in the back of the head with a thrown hockey glove. Mud Bruneteau (whose real name is Modere Fernand) drew a laugh by describing, in a broad French- Canadian accent, how he has been doing the cooking at his house be- cause of the illness of his wife. "It ended up with everything burnt, in- cluding the baked apples," he con- cluded. Mowers Equals Brimsek Goodfellow says that Sammy Lo Presti, the Blackhawks' new goalie, is just fair. There are several in the league who surpass him, according to Ebbie. Mowers, he says, is as good or better than the great Frankie Brimsek was during his first year in the National League. Spa'rtans Will Test Mcttmen Next Monday By STAN CLAMAGE Now that Wrestling Coach Cliff Keen has put his squad through preliminary paces against two "soft touches", he will get his first chance to see just what he really has this year when the team meets a power- ful Michigan State bunch next Mon- day at East Lansing. Like Michigan, State also boasts a coach from the hot-bed of Ameri- can wrestling, Oklahoma. Fendley Collins, the Spartan coach, is look- ing forward to this year as a his- tory-making one with his current wrestling team. Boasting several sophomore grapplers from the Soon- er State, Collins has one of the most formidable wrestling squads in in- tercollegiate circles. Spartans Powerful The Spartans have strength in every division. In their opening meet with little Wheaton College, State won seven of the eight matches. And six of the wins were by quick falls. The only loss was incurred in the unlimited match. But it can hardly be said that the squad is weak in the heavier division, for they have three capable men there. And the records show that the man who is considered third best on the; team, forced last year's N.I.C.A.A. champ to require overtime in order to defeat him. Comparative records can also show the power of the East Lansing team. While Northwestern barely nosed out Wheaton, 16-12, State won by a most convincing score of 33-6. Must Win By Falls It is evident that the deciding factor as to the Wolverines' chances of taking State is the matter of win-I ning matches by falls. In the first two meets, the Maize and Blue took the ,majority of the matches on point decisions. So, with strength concen- trated in the four higher weight groups, the home grapplers will have to work harder for falls if they want to keep their slate clean. Mel Comin, Bill Herrmann, Bill Cart- mill, Joe Glasser, Leo Doyle and Hal Westerman. A last minute switch in the travel- ling squad found Westerman, tiny fie -foot eight -inch senior, replacing Jim Grissen, who was dropped from the team in a disciplinary measure by Oosterbaan yesterday afternoon. Westerman, who has been on the squad for the past two seasons, is an excellent ballhandler who plays both forward and guard. Lack of height has kept versatile Hal on the bench this year, but recent displays of form have won the tiny veteran a place on the travelling squad. Oosterbaan, who expects the Pur- ple quintet to employ a zone defense against his cagers tomorrow night, had his cagers popping set shots all yesterday afternoon as the Wolver- ines wound up practice for the week. Michigan will be gunning for its second Big Ten win of the current campaign, while the lowly Wildcats will be out to break into the victory column in the Conference standings for the first time this season. 6,MM FINAL CLEARANCE Sale closes Jan. 31 11 1{ FINAL CLEARANCE HAL WESTERMAN Imported WOOL HOSIERY 20% Discount Sale closes Jan. 31 Van Boven Inc. ow moo .
