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.

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 f t Michigan Loud Collins Reichert Braidford Goldsmith (c) Bahrych Pos.

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."' Cagemen Play In Full Length Practice Gamne 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. i .i T X ti i ! I t } 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 the front office, Not Like Last Year -Swimmers The University Musical Society announces the following concerts T 'SMPHONIY SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY, Cond ctor Wed., Dec. 10, 8:30 P.M.
