Challenger Ranked Highly, But Given Little Change To Last Fifteen Rounds' NEW YORK, Jan. 30.--P)-Red Burman's two-year chase for a crack at Joe Louis' heavyweight champion- ship ends in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. The Baltimore battler, ranked among the first five heavyweights in the world for the last two years, gets his chance with the Bomber in a fight scheduled for 15 rounds, but which all but Red'ssvery best friends say will make him sorry he ever got the idea. Off his record Burman ranks as Puckmen Will Resume Schedule Against Paris A.C. On Feb.15th 0 (hi,,go Decides To Play Football With Small Colleges Wrestling Team Looks Good Despite Loss To Michigan State By ART HILL The Michigan hockey team will re- surne its Post-examination schedule on Saturday, February 15, when the Wolverines take on the Paris (Ont.) A.C. The Paris club plays in the In- termediate Ontario Hockey Associa- tion. Thegame will start at 8 p.m. Coach Eddie Lowrey will be count- ing on the addition of a new wing- man for the Paris game in the person of Bob Fife. Fife is a fast clever wing- man who was a standout on lastI year's freshman team. He was ren-' dered hors de combat by a note from the Dean's Office for the first semes- ter, but he is expected to be ready to go after finals. Itunk Drops Out Another freshman star of last year, Jim Funk, has dropped out of school HurlerseStart Loosening Up For'41 Season in favor of a cruise to the South Seas. Lowrey was hoping to be able to use him o'n the same line with Fife.- Practices this week have not been compulsory for the Varsity squad. Al few of the boys have been down every evening, however, to try out their shooting eyes against Hank Loud, the diminutive Wolverine goalie, and to keep in good physical condition for the games which will come thick and fast after the examination per- iod is over.. Brantford Here There are no games scheduled for the week immediately following the Paris contest. But the following week, Michigan takes on three of the tough-$ est opponents they will meet on the home ice this season. On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the Wolverines are billed to meet the Brantford club of the Sen- ior Ontario Hockey Association, one of the strongest hockey leagues in the world. With that tilt out of the way, they1 step right into another tough oppon- ent when Minnesota's Gophers in- vade the Coliseum for a game Thurs- day, Feb. 27. The Gophers will play again Saturday, Mar. 1. Minnesota defeated the Wolverines in two games earlier in the season by scores of 4-0 and 7-2. By HAL WILSON THINGS are brewing on Chi- IG i J cago's Midway. _.._ 1 Last Monday night the news broke that the University of Chi- cago officials were attempting to line up a schedule of six football games with small Midwest schools, thus marking a radical departure from the Maroon policy which has been in effect since President Ro- bert Maynard Hutchins abolished Western Conference grid compe- tition last December. This information gained relatively little recognition in the nation's press -not nearly so much as that which has heralded the passing of Chicago's big-time intercollegiate program 14 months ago. But it. nevertheless, looms as a highly significant move. Here are the developments to date: The Maroon Athletic Depart- ment has announced that Wheat- on, Ill., College, Shurtleff College of Alton, Ill., the University of Louisville and Chicago Tech have been invited to schedule formalized 1l-man grid games with the Uni- versity. Of these *Louisville and Shurtleff are reported willing to arrange contests. As announced by University author- ities no admission will be charged for the tilts, no guarantees will be awarded the competing teams, in or- der to keep the games free from the taint of commercialism, and freshman and graduate students will be eligible for competition as well as undergraduates. By STAN CLAMAGE Al though the Wolverine wrestlers lost to Michigan State at East Lan- sing, 16-14, Wednesday, they have served notice that they are really going to be hard to beat in the fu- ture. Coach Cliff Keen is mighty proud of his boys-and why shouldn't he be? Subbing for Johnny Paup, Mar- vin Becker put up one of the scrap- piest fights of the meet, though he lost a disputed match to Bill Max- well, 15-14. With only a few seconds to go Becker had a several point ad- vantage. Deane Was Pinned Ray Deane shot the works with 41k seconds to go, but everything back- fired on him and he was pinned. The I match was close all the way. Art Paddy came the closest of mak- and Indiana her Feb. 17. Both oppo- nents have tough veteran squads, and both defeated the Wolverines last year. Indiana nosed out Michigan in the Conference meet by one point and also finished second in the Nationals, one spot ahead of the home grap- plers. The Wolverines wrestled before almost 3,000 fans at East Lansing- the largest crowd to witness such a meet in the state. They always say that a big home crowd doesn't hurt the team-a good note to remember for the Indiana meet on the 17th. Spartans Sign Missouri COLUMBIA, Mo., Jan. 30.-(1)- Michigan State College will resume football relations with the Univer- sity of Missouri in 1944, Don Fau- rot, Tiger football coach, said to- night. The first game will be played here Nov. 4. The following year Mis- souri will play Michigan State at East Lansing. AP Sports Roundup Toronto Trimts Wings TORONTO, Jan. 30.-AP)-Swee- ney Schriner's 17th goal of the sea- son, scored within the last three min- utes of the third period, brought the first-place Toronto Maple Leafs a. 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings tonight. A crowd of 11.921 saw Jimmy Orlando, husky Red Wing defense man, add considerably to his stand- ing as the league's No. 1 "bad' man." The big black-liner drew a major penalty for fighting with Wally Stanowski, then had a mis- conduct penalty added on for ar- guing with Referee King Clancy. * * * Speed Skaters Vie SCHENECTADY, N.

JOE LOUIS ... battling Bomber the most workmanlike warrior to take a shot at Joe in a couple of years. Yet, promoter Mike Jacobs and Louis' own fistic family are tak- ing -Burman so seriously they've al- ready lined up tussles for Joe against Gus Dorazio in Philadelphia next month, Abe Simon in Detroit in March and Arturo Godoy in Los An- geles in April. It will be the 13th title defense in Louis' record-breaking run as head man of fistiana and his second trip to the post in the fight-a-month campaign promoter Jacobs lined up for him this winter and spring. He stopped Al McCoy, an overstuffed middleweight, in five rounds in Bos- ton last month, but his ragged show- ing there, as well as Burman's un- orthodox crouching, hooking style, has raised the hopes of Red's sup- porters.

Liberty Phone 8020 On the corner next to P.Bell Yost Field House has already started to echo with the familiar refrain of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". Taking limbering up workouts on their soup-bones are some of Ray Fisher's pitching candidates for the 1941 baseball campaign, who, under their own volition, have started to round their throwing arms into shape. Stoddard Only Vet Heading the list of flingers is Mickey Stoddard, veteran right- hander of two seasons, who handled a good bit of the relief twirling last year. Although he has never gone the complete distance he has pitched four or five innings in numerous games. When the season begins, Stoddard will be the only pitching letterman on the squad. Les Veigel and Tom Netherton, both reserve lettermen from last sea- son, are also putting their pitching arms through warm-up paces; but neither of these boys have had much varsity experience. Lefty Muir, a portsider, and Cliff Wise, substitute back on the gridiron squad, have also been spending their free after- noons loosening up. Goldsmith To Report Among those expected to report when the call for hurlers is issued is Mase'Gould, a left-hander, and Paul Goldsmith. Last year Goldsmith was forced to forego baseball because of an injury to his arm which he sus- tained playing hockey. When asked about the possibilities for the coming season, Fisher de- clined to comment, saying that it was too early to tell what to expect. He did mention, however, that he had expected Lyle Bond to handle most of the pitching this year, but because of his operation he would be out for the whole year. With no pitcher who has gone the full nine innings, Coach Ray Fisher will be watching more than ever how his hurlers round into form. Yankees Get Contracts Of Five More Players NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-('P)-The New York Yankees received the signed contracts of five more players today, three of them recruits from their minor league farms. They were Ken Sylvestri, catcher received in the deal that sent Billy Knickerbocker to the White Sox; Steve Sundra, right-handed hurler who failed last year to match his great 1939 record; Steve Peek right- handed hurler who won 14 and lost four for Newark; Charlie Stanceu, who had a mound record of 15 and 8 with Kansas City and Mike Chartak, outfielder brought up from Newark late last season. Dots 'n Dashes, Campus Flashes.. . LOCAL SCRAPINGS: Although Michigan's Grand Old Man, Field- ing H. Yost, will retire as athletic director in the spring, it seems high- ly probable that he will remain as- sociated with the University in the ca- pacity of a good will ambassador .. . An authoritative source revealed that a post will be created for him. Secret Revealed The truth is now out ... The Mich- igan gridders were so adept at stop- ping Ohio State plays last fall because it didn't take the Wolverines long to realize that Francis Schmidt's trick offense usually sent the play over the spot where the wing-back lined up. Keen's Black Eye Tom Sparks, 121-pound grappler on the wrestling team, has been pick- ing on the coach again . . . Last year he inflicted a black eye on Coach Cliff Keen in a practice session . . And the other day he administered another shiner to the Wolverine men- tor. Evy Leads Dance Forest Evashevski will have his in- jured shoulder operated on after his February graduation. . .

Intramural Sports Department This latter point precludes re- newed competition with Big Ten opponents inasmuch as Conference eligibility regulations sanction par- ticipation only for undergraduates. No team represented Chicago last fall for the first time in 40 years, , but an unofficial squad indulged in six-man team scrimmage under the direction of Coach Kyle Anderson. Apparently this was far from satis- factory to Chicago's student body. Explaining this latest Midway action, Athletic Director Metcalf said that the University was merely continuing its policy of "promoting athletics as an aid to education." THIS IS tantamount to saying that intercollegiate football rates a berth in higher education insofar as the students desire it. And this is an abrupt reversal of the viewpoint which led to abandonment of the sport a year ago. The potential effects of Chicago's newest policy are many. Perhaps in this compromise position be- tween no intercollegiate football whatsoever and the alleged. over- emphasized football previously existing, Hutchins has effected a satisfactory solution to the problem. One thing has been determined definitely-organized intercollegiate football does deserve a place in the curricula of the nation's institutions of higher education.
