started fast and had many #hances
to score, but poor skating and stick-
handling behind the London defense
kept them from chalking up any
points. John Corson, sub wing, was
all alone behind the Canadian de-
fense put lost the puck in the, Wol-
verines' best chance to counter. Up
to the' middle of the period London'
was not idle, however, but Loud kept
the puck out of the nets.
London Runs Up Score
At 12:29 the same period defense-
man Bob Collins was sent out on a
penalty and then things really be-
gan to pop. In the next minute and
a half London increased their mar-
gin to five goals. John Woods took a
pass from Norm McLeod and scored
at 12:53. Following in quick suc-
cession, Eddie Clark made a marker
at 13:23, and McLeod scored 47 sec-
onds later to make the score stand
at 5-0.
Although the loss of Collins pl yed
an important part in the quick suc-
cession of London scores, it became.
apparent in the second period that
the absence of capable Michigan re-
serves was playing a major part in
the Wolverines' defeat. The fast pace
tired the Michigan men and the Lon-
don squad quickly took advantage of
the situation. Toward the end of
the period Michigan again had a few
scoring opportunities. But poor pass-
ing eliminated any hopes of the sex-
tet closing up the overwhelming mar-
gin which the visitors were then hold-
ing.
'Wolverines Miss Chance
Early in the last period London had
two penalties (Pat Barrett at 4:20
and Ron Sutherland at 6:31) but the
bogged down Michigan attack was
not able to capitalize, on the mis-
demeanors. At 9:44 Sutherland took
a pass from high-scoring Geddes and
pushed the final London tally of the
night through Loud..
Finally, in the middle of the peri-
od, Doug Hillman, sophomore wing,
prevented a shut-out when he scored
on a re-bound shot by Ed Reichert.
This marker at 10:53 ended the scor-
ing for the evening. The score was
the only one made against London's
I IM

goalie, Tom Moffat, who played a
swell game all night. He made 22
saves in the 60 minutes of play. Loud,
Michigan's goalie, was busy, making
43 saves during the entire game.
Geddes Stands Out
By far "Red" Geddes, London's
rookie center, was the most aggressive
man on the ice. He was fast, tricky.
and a supreme stick-handler. When
the Canadian club travels to Cham-
paign and Minneapolis during the
next 10 dafs to meet Illinois and
lMIinnesota, this boy will really have
something to show the two top Big'
Ten puck teams.

Between periods Mary Greschke
entertained the spectators with some
fine figure-skating. The fans really
liked her and called her back for two
encores.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6-3)--The jave-
lin throw, ancient event of Grecian
warriors, was tossed out of the list
of events in the Big Ten today.
The athletic directors of the West-
ern Conference abolished the sport on
the recommendation of the coaches,
who were of the unanimous opinion
that the event was harmful to con-
testants.
Event Causes Injuries
Few javelin throwers in Western
Conference history were ever able
to compete in theirs senior year be-
cause of back and shoulder injuries
received in their sophomore and jun-
ior years.
The football coaches, winding up
their meeting, agreed that the offici-
ating during the 194l4season was very
good and said so in a formal resolu-
tion.- The coaches also agreed that
the progress of the game was highly
satisfactory, the average playing
times being reduced from two hours
26 minutes as in 1940 to two hours 18
minutes this fall, despite the free sub-
stitution rule.
Two recommendations were made,
however, to the. officials. One sug-
gested that in case of a short gain
involving a first down the referee'
I.-

mark the'forward progess of the ball
immediately-not moving the ball
before measuring for the first time-
and accept the assistance of other of-
ficials in marking the farthest ad-
vance of the pigskin.
It also was suggested that ifs play-
er encroaches on the neutral zone in
such a way as to delay the game or
spoil the timing of a play, the penalty
(loss of five yards and no change
in down) should be enforced.
Conference Meets Announced
The Western Conference fencing
meet was set for March 21 at the Uni-
versity of Illinois. The gymnastic
teams of the Big Ten will meet in
Conference championship competi-
tion at the University of Minnesota
March 14. The national Collegiate.
Gymnastic meet will be held at the
United Staes Naval Academy March
28.
The wrestling championship will be
held at Chicago March 13 and 14. 1
The faculty ommittee of the Con- I
ference denied four petitions for the I
extension of eligibility of athletes
and granted two. Calvin Sawyier and 1
Paul H. Jo'dan, Jr., of the University
of Chicago, who also have acquired
sufficient credits for a degree but
have never competed in athletics,
were granted permisson to compete
through 1942.
Prof. Thomas E. French, facultyj
representative from Ohio State Uni-
versity, was elected president of the
faculty group for next year, succeed-
ing Karl Leib of the University of'
Iowa.

THE SHORT SPACE of 24 hours
last week the two least enviable
managerial jobs in major league base-
ball opened up, and then snapped
shut like traps. Caught securely be-
tween the binding jaws on contracts
were a 59-year-old Dutchman ,Hans
Lobert, and a 24-year-old youngster,
Lou Boudreau.t
News of the former appointment
came as no surprise. It, in fact,
come under the heading of Break-
ing Last Summer's News Next Win-
ter. Mr. Gerry Nugent, president of
1the Philadelphia Phillies (the title4
is much better than the job) an-
n~ounced to practically no one's
-mazement that Doc Protho, the
Memphis dentist who has handled
the fortunes or misfortunes of the
hapless Phillies for two years, was
all through.
Protho, who suffered much more
during his tenure than any of his
patients in the dentist's .chair ever
have, promptly heaved a sigh of re-
lief, handed his former assistant and
successor, Lobert, half a gross of as-
pirin tablets, and set out for Mem-
phis.
"Lobert got the job," Nugent. de-
clared, "because of his long years of
faithful service as coach with the
Phillies." That's just like toasting the
fellow who has thrown the switch on
the electric chair for many years. Sev-
eral years ago, when Lobert was a
Phillie coach under Manager Jimmy,

Wilson, I happened to meet and talk
with him for quite a while. He's much
too nice a guy for the fate he now
faces.
NOW FOR BOUDREAU. Every
basebill fan in the country
realizes what looms in store for him.
He has everyone's sympathy. And
that's exactly why he may produce.
Practically no one expects him to
meld a pennant winning team with
the Feller-less material at hand.
And chances are he won't

Time Trials Reveal
Track Team ToBe
Strong Contender
If the results of yesterday after-
noon's time trials for the Varsity'
track squad are any indication, Big
Ten foes of Michigan had better
start worrying about that indoor sea-
son which opens Feb. 14 with the
Illinois Relays.
Frosh 'Coach Chester Stackhouse
who supervised the squad in the ab-
sence of Varsity Coach Ken Doherty,
reported that the team showed itself
ready for a big \ season. "Times
turned in by the runners and sprint-
ers in yesterday's trials were highly
satisfactory," Stackhouse reported.
Freshman runners also had trials
and showed up well.
First real indication of the Varsity
squad's strength will be the import-
ant pre-Christmas time trials next
Saturday afternoon. Runners will
have instructions to "give every-
thing."'

Cartmill Stars As Whites
Defeat Reds; Shemky
Impresses Coach
By DICK SIMON
Michigan's basketball squad went
to it hammer and tong yesterday af-
ternoon in Yost Field House as Coach
Bennie Oosterbaan let the "reds" and
"whites" play a -regulation gatne for
the first time this season.
The game proved to be a close con-
test for the first half, but the
"wlgtes," led by Capt. Bill Cartmill,
turned on the heat and finished up
on the long enq of the 45-32 score. AtI
half time the "white" team led. 18-17.
} Oosterbaan started Cartmill, Mel
Comin, Jim Mandler, Leo Doyle and
Bill MacConnachie as the "whites,"
and Bob Antle, Morrie Bikoff, Ralph
Gibert, Don Holman and Bob Shemky
I as the "reds." But before the second
half started, the Maize and Blue cage
coach interchanged Gibert and Shem-
ky with Man~dler and Comin respec-
tively, and put Wally Spreen on the
"red shirt" team in place of Antle.
High point scorer for the day was
Cartmill, who put together six buck-
ets'and two foul throws for a total of
14 points. Doyle and Holman each
scored 11 points while Gibert acdoun-
ted for 10.
Bob Shemky, promising sophomore,
continued to receive the plaudits of
Oosterbaan by his general all-around
play. He sunk all three long shots
he attempted and scored a beautiful
two-pointer on a dribble-in shot
around Mandler and Holman.
Gibert had the best average on
shots attempted and shots made, five
of his twelve shots going through the
hoop, and he was followed by Cartmill
who tried 19 times 'to score a basket
and was successful six times.
Both Oosterbaan and assistant
coach Ernie McCoy seemed satisfied
with the.showing the two teams made.
Oosterbaan, however, has not made
his mind up who will get the starting
assignments when, the cagers open
the 1941-42 season against Michigan
State here next Saturday night in
Yost Field House.

But there's something that inspires
confidence in the calm, self-possessed
manner in which this young ball
player, just three years off the Uni-
versity of Illinois campus, goes about
his overwhelming task. No one knows
better than he does. just what was
the source of friction with the Cleve-
land Indians the last few years. No
one is in a better position to do some-
thing about it. Concrete steps have
already been taken in this direction.
Case in point number one is the re-
lease of Rollie Hemsley, a fine catcher
but admittedly a trouble-maker.
BASEBALL EXPERTS fear that
the pressing burden of man-
agerial duties will hang heavy on
the batting and fielding talents of
Boudreau, whom some enterprising
clever sports writer has already tab-
bed the "Boy Manager." This May
prove to be a valid handicap. His
/playing ability, which in two short
seasons has made him, one of the
finest shortstops in the majors,
is almost bound to suffer. Time is
the decisive factor here.

THEN, TOO, there is the appoint-
ment of Mel Ott as playing man-
ager of the New'York Giants with the
promotion or demotion, depending on
which side you're on, of Bill Terry to
