In Home Opener Of19411 Papenguth, Boilermaker Mentor, Brings Team To Meet His Former Coach By WOODY BLOCK Riding high on the crest of a 21-meet winning streak, Michigan's swim- ming team will raise the curtain on the home season at 7:30 p.m. today in the Sports Building pool against Dick Papenguth's underdog Purdue Uni- versity squad. Matt Mann expects little trouble protecting a Wolverine record that extends over two years and includes but two ties with Ohio State-the rest victories. Already this season the Wolverines have steamed past the Uni- versities of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh in addition to the strong New York A.C. Purdue has had one meet so far, ----- - dropping it to Northwestern.I But the Boilermakers aren't let-, ting Michigan's impressive record phase them. With their backs to the wall and not much of a chance for victory, Coach Papenguth is going to throw his strongest team against the Wolverines in order to force some fast marks. Purdue will be depending heavily on Dick Kratzer, Mid-States AAU champ in the 220 yard free style event, and Capt. Chuck Siler in the 440 yard race, to give Michigan's youngster, Jack Patten, -a battle. Three Other Stars Papenguth has three other top- notch performers to shoot against his former coach, Matt Mann. Fred Herr, the lad who took second place in the 50 yard sprint at the East- West meet in Florida is one of the stars making the drive from Lafay- ette today. Then there's. Joe Williamson, only a sophomore, but Indiana AAU breast stroke titleholder and a surprise win- ner in the Purdue-Northwestern meet with a. 2:37.2- timing. He'll be up against Michigan's varsity ace, John Sharemet. Another sophomore with a promis- ing future and a lot on the ball be- sides, is Jack Carney who will for- tify the Boilermaker forces in the dis- tance races. He's already well re- spected in the Conference and the -.fellows . are going to watch him closely. Five Young Stars That about covers the main strength of the invading forces. Five young stars, each one of which will double up, swimming in at least two races to give the Boilermakers the toughest aggregation possible. The 'four star' races of the evening will probably include both distance events, the 150 yard backstroke and the breast stroke race. Patten, Clair Morse and Tom Williams will carry the Maize and Blue against Carney and Captain Siler in the 220, which should be a dog-fight all the way. Blake Thaxter will join Patten, in the quarter-mile facing Carney, Sil- Five Invades Wildcat Lair ForCage Tiltl Varsity Is Apprehensive Of Northwestern Team; Foe To Start Gridmen (Special To The Daily) EVANSTON, Ill. g-Jan. 25-Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's Michigan hoop- men aren't exactly worried, mind you, but just a mite apprehensive as they prepare to meet the lowly Northwest- ern quintet here tonight. For if the record "no wins, four losses" is the occasion for an upset, as it was in the Michigan-Minnesota game earlier in the week, the stage appears set for the Wildcats to turn the trick at the expense of the Wol-, verines. Northwestern, at present, is rest- ing in the cellar of the Big Ten stand- ings with just that record, and is about due to snap out of its losing streak. So Michigan is planning on a heavy evening despite the Purple's humble position in the Conference basketball race. Same Lineupf Oosterbaan plans to start the same lineup that brought the Wolverines their first Big Ten win over the Gophers Monday-Captain Herb Bro- gan and George Ruehle at the guard posts, Jim Mandler at center, and Mike Sofiak and sophomore Mel Comin at the forward positions. Stocky Jim Grissen, who was prev- iously regarded as Michigan's num- ber one reserve man, did not make the trip with the squad yesterday following a disciplinary move by Oos- terbaan which was precipitated by some differences between the Hol- land junior and his coach. Gridders With Cats Three star gridiron performers will be in the starting lineup for the Wild- cats, Captain Al Butherus will begin the game at one of the guard posi- tions, 220-pound Don Clawson at cen- ter, and George Benson at forward. The remaining berths will be occu- pied by Henry Clason, the Wildcats' high scorer, and Russ Wendland,; Evy Declares Charity' Tilts May Be Shady Hockey Team Again To Seek ThirdVictory Lowreymen Will Attempt To Avenge Last Year's 4-2 Loss To Canadiansl By ART HILL The Michigan hockey team will goj after its third victory in nine starts tonight when it clashes with the Sar- nia A.C. at the Coliseum. The game will start at 8 p.m. Coach Eddie Lowrey plans to start the same lineup that was on the ice at the opening whistle of both Min- nesota games. As always, dependable Hank Loud will be in the goalie's spot, while on the back line Wolverine fans will see Capt. Charley Ross and Bert Stodden. These three boys have started every game and have played practically without replacements thus far in the season. Ross has the hardest shot on the squad as well as being the fastest skater. Stodden is also very fast and a clever stick-handler. At center for Michigan will be tall Paul Goldsmith, a playmaker of more than ordinary ability. Goldy will be the only man on the forward line who had experience on the squad before this year. Flanking Goldsmith, Johnny Gillis and Bob Kemp will add scoring abil- c ity to the starting front line. Gillis is a battler who fights for the puck 1 every minute he is on the ice. Kemp, a sophomore, is a speedy skater and a very fine stickhandler. The visiting team (which defeated Michigan last year by a 4-2 count), will probably start Bob Pacand in the nets. Though not as adept as stop- ping shots as was Bill Harris, sen- sation net-minder of the 1939-4W Sarnia squad, Pacand has the repu-- tation of being a better-than-fair goalie. Lon Rudder and Stan Morrison, a husky pair of hard-checking de- fensemen, will fill the back-line spots for the Canadian club. The forward line will be made up of Bob Kirk- land at center with Chuck Levan and Bill Mara at the wing positions. I developed into grade-A shot putters on the Irish track team. And now, !if present indications among the weight men on the freshman cinder squad prove at all reliable, Michigan should soon duplicate and even sur- pass Our Lady's feat. For there are not only one but several Wolverine gridmen among the plebes who seem to be developing into what is conserv- atively known as "varsity material." No less than eight frosh football lettermen have reported for the shot- put event since the grid season end- ed. At first this was a source of joy ta of the season, well over 40 feet. and last Tuesday Chuck Kennedy bettered Haslam's effort by an inch to take top honors-for an hour. At which time Merv~ Pregulman flipped the iron apple a good healthy two feet past Kennedy's mark. Charlie Gibbs is a fourth frosh gridder who has reached the 40-foot mark, which fans still higher the spark of joy in Coach Stackhouse's brawny breast. The other year- ling football-shotputters are Julius Franks, Arnold Kargenian, Paul Johnson and Joe Joseph. Frosh Boast Shot-Put Strength By HOE SELTZER to no one but the football coaches.

Horlenko may have a slight edge on condition and the benefit of three successful dual meets under his belt,' but Big Ten champ Heydt is expected to more than match the tow-headed sophomore all the way. With Jim Skinner a doubtful start- er in the 200 yard breast stroke, but almost a certainty to start the med- ley relay, Matt Mann is giving the popular John Sharemet the whole burden in the 200 yard race. John has improved his form this year and should take Joe Williamson into camp with his flawless butterfly stroke. In the remainder of the events it will be mostly Michigan vs. Michi- gan, for Papenguth has not too much in the way of talent to offer as op- position. speedy sophomore.

Evashevski warned that unless the Big Ten and other gridiron confer- ences 'soon enacted legislation for- bidding such games, "college foot- ball would grow into nothing more than professional barnstorming." Citing from his experience as a participant in the East-West game in San Francisco New Year's day, the retiring Wolverine captain asserted that "altogether too often the play- ers receive a few dollars for bare ex- penses, and the big money disappears in a more mysterious fashion." He added: "In some cases I have heard of professional promoters ex- ploiting these players completely without conscienic° . Stiudents are called out of school, and away from their families during the holidays. They could earn the same amount of money by working legitimately some- where. The teams are inadequately trained, and give the spectators an inferior brand of football." Evashevski said he was approached Monday by a man named Ellwood Rigby, and, asked to participate in a game in Miami's Orange Bowl "for charity." "I refused," he explained, "because I've decided to keep out of these things altogether."

Gee has returned to his old haunts, Yost Field House, ,in an attempt to restore the vitality which his left arm once possessed. He has come back to the Michigan baseball men- tor; Ray Fisher, to see if his former teacher can help him bring back his southpaw effectiveness. The six foot, nine inch pitcher, or- Get your ganized baseball's tallest player, stat- ed that it was too early for him to determine whether or not he had re- gained his hurling wizardry. He has come to Fisher because he has im- plicit faith in the Michigan coach, and he intends to follow the Wolver- ine mentor's instructions to the letter. - In 1939, after Gee had won 20 games for Syracuse in the Inter- national League the Pirates paid $75,000 for him. Last year was to have been his year, but he developed a mysterious sore arm during spring training which has plagued him ever since, and which made him a total loss to the Corsairs. Gee is obviously worried-his en- tire baseball future is at stake. If he regains his pitching mastery he will be invaluable aid to the Buc- caneers, who baseball experts agree need only one top-flight hurler to become serious pennant threats. If he doesn't come back, Pittsburgh has tossed $75,000 away. In the meantime he is going on with his conditioning under Fisher's guidance. At the present time he is only limbering up, helping Fisher with the Wolverine pitchers, and tak- ing daily massages from trainer Ray Roberts. Sometime in the future Fisher will give the order to cut loose. That will be the acid test. Only 25 years old, Gee has a bright future in store if he succeeds in proving his worth to the Pirates. Because Dave Matthews played basketball in his physical education class yesterday and sprained his ankle, Ken Doherty continues to wor- ry about his two-mile relay team for the Millrose Games. Now, after hav- ing won his berth on the quartet, the severity of Dave's injury and its re- sponse to treatment will decide whe- ther or not he can compete. Meanwhile Jack Leutritz, Herb Leake and Buck Dawson will run a trial half-mile this afternoon around the banked turns of the Waterman Gym track to determine whichi of them is to round out the foursome. And if Dave's ankle proves recalci- trant, Ken will have to select two of this trio instead of just one. Bill Ackerman and Johnnie Kautz who make up half of the relay team, will also work out this afternoon at Waterman.
