said. The husky Wolverine junior was
far and away the outstanding swim-
mer of the night as he flawlessly
churned up the yardage to cop the
distance events with ease.
Using the same powerful, even
stroke in both the 220 and 440 free-
style races, Patten didn't leave a
doubt in anybody's mind as to whom
the ultimate winner would be by the
time he had covered the first length.,
Forced to take a back seat all last
season to Michigan's distance ace of
last year, Jim Welsh, Patten blos-
somed forth as full-fledged star in
his own right last night.
Schnabel Beaten
It was in the 220 that he really
turned on the heat. Entered against
Don Schnabel, the invaders' highly-
publicized sophomore star, the Wol-
verine tanker took an early lead to
leave Schnabel wollowing in his wake.
And no disgrace to the Buckeye was
it to take second place to Jack Pat-
ten last night, for when the time was
announced it was found that Matt
Mann's junior ace had covered the
course in 2:11.7, which is 1.9 seconds
faster than the present Big Ten rec-
ord set by Tom Haynie, former Wol-
verine.
Two other feature races were the
150 yard backstroke and the 200 yard
breaststroke events. Mark Follans-
bee, Buckeye sophomore star, barely
touched out Wolverine Dick Riedl to
win the former in the time of 1:40.1,
while Maize and Blue champion Jim
Skinner butterflyed his way to an
easy victory, churning the 200 yards
in 2:27.8.
Burton Wins
Wolverine Captain Dobby Burton
bested Ohio State Captain John Leitt
in the 50 yard freestyle, with a win-
ning time of 24.1, but the Columbus
leader came right back to edge out
Gus Sharemet and Burton in the
100, taking the race in 54 seconds
flat. The Michigan medley team of
Ried, John Sharemet and Gus
Sharemet took the opening medley
relay; and the Maize and Blue free-
style quartet of Burton, Sharemet,
Tommy Williams and Lou Kivi had
little difficulty in the closing 400
yard relay.

had taken part in only one practice
last week because of a twisted ankle,
captured runner-up honors by get-
ting 14 points. Max Gecowets con-
tinued hisnscoring spree with 13
points to lead the Buckeye players.
The Scarlet and Gray used a close
defense throughout most of the first
half, but when the Wolverines be-
gan to sink one-hand push shots and
hook shots from 15 and 20 feet out,
it crumpled like an egg-shell. But
no matter what Ohio State did, the
Michigan team just couldn't be stop-
ped. They had the range and that
was all there was to it.
Michigan's defense, on the other
hand, was effective all through the
contest, and not once after the sec-
ond half started did the Ohioans
creep within nine points of the host
team.
Buckeyes Score Late
Ohio State's high-scoring offense
just wasn'tlast night. The Buckeyes
weren't passing like a team that had
scored 51 points over Northwestern
six days before. The alert Wolver-
ine players were guarding their men
so closely that most of the time the
Bucks were forced to shoot without
getting set. With nine minutes left
to play, the visitors took a new lease
on life and scored eight points be-
fore the Maize and Blue cagers came
to life. That was the only time the
Ohio State offense clicked.
Neither team could gain an ad-
vantage by recovering the ball off
the backboard. Michigan's center
Jim Mandler and forward Ralph Gi-
bert covered their own board like
a blanket, but could do very little
against the Ohio State pivot men,
big Jack McLain and Jack Wilce, un-
der the Buckeye basket until the last
15 minutes of play. Then the Wol-
verines' experience began to have its
telling effects. Between the two of
them, Mandler and Gibert took every
three out of five rebounds.
39 Personals Called
The game was marred by 39 per-
sonal fouls being called, 18 against
the Scarlet and Gray and 11 against
the Maize and Blue. In a desperate
effort to get possession of the ball
during the last five minutes of the
game, the Buckeyes began to cover
up when the Wolverine§ had the ball
in the back court. As a result nine
fouls were called in this latter portion
of the game.
Michigan employed the fast break
several times during the course of the
game and it worked with a consider-
able degree of success. Cartmill,
Doyle and Gibert were the chief exe-
cutors of this type of play which has
not been used by the Wolverines in
several seasons.

SPORTFOLIO
" Thank You Lantern
" Please Do It Again
By HAL WILSON
Daily Sports Editor
SOMEONE please step up and give
the Ohio State Lantern a great
big coup de pied in the derriere.
It was the Lantern, Buckeye stu-
dent publication, that just last week
tossed some derogatory syllables to-
gether in this fashion:
"Should the Wolverines get tired
of using only the Chicago Maroons
as their basketball doormat, it
might turn into a basketball game.
At this writing it appears as though
the only thing that will happen will
be that the Wolverines will get
tired."
AND STREWED AROUND such
phrases as "the land of the
toothless Wolverine" and "hapless,
hopeless Michigan," is this comment:
"Only Chicago's offense is less
potent and while the defense is im-
pressive, the difference explains the
miserable record of the Michigan
cagers."
These words were published in the
Daily news columns last week and
duly observed and mentally recorded
by most of the Wolverine cagers.
NOW it would be almost as great
a folly as that committed by the
Lantern writer to claim that by mere-
ly scanning the above quotations,
Michigan's hardwood outfit was
turned from a mild-mannered crew
of basketball players into a raging,
bucket-crazy band of Wolverines
thirsting for peronsal revenge. That,
of course, is not true. But it did play
a part; it did help.
One of the oldest axioms of sport-
dom is that mental attitude can
make all the difference in the world
in a competitor-it makes cham-
pions out of mediocrities, and bums
out of champions. It's the all-
powerful factor, X, that makes
sport what it is.
THE SPIRIT and mental attitude
of Michigan's team surged to a
new high for the season during prac-
tice sessions this past week. Virtually
every member of the team felt a
surge of confidence before last night's
clash. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan
sensed this intangible factor and
made the pre-game prediction that
Michigan fans would see a Wolverine
team that would really battle.
But don't let this disturb the
routine of your journalistic foibles,
Lantern friends. Perhaps we can
use more of the same along about
March 6 and 7, date of the Confer-
ence Indoor Track Meet.

Minnesota Sextet Employs
Rejuvenated Front Line
To Take Return Match
(Special to The Daily)
MINNEAPOLIS, -Minn., Jan. 24.-
Showing some return to the speed
and scrappiness of former years,
Minnesota's hockey squad trounced
Michigan 6 to 0 tonight to tie up the
series.
Minnesota's domination of the en-
tire game lay in a new forward line
-the one Coach Larry Armstrong
has been waiting for since the season
started. The line is Al Eggleton and
speedy Pat Maloney at wings and
veteran Bob Arnold at center.
In his first game, Maloney showed
more speed than any other man on
the ice. The old combination of
Eggleton and Arnold, as usual, set up
most of the shots.
The first score came at 2:55 on a
pass from Gopher John Peterson to
Eggleton on the red line, who sank
it from the board.
Number two came when Arnold and
Eggleton worked the puck in front
of Goalie Hank Loud and Maloney
took the rebound with Loud sprawled
out of the screen. All three periods
were predominately in Michigan ter-
ritory.
At 2:2 in the second canto, Eg-
gleton made the third Gopher point'
on an assist from ubiquitous Arnold.
Then the fighting began. Four Go-
phers and two Wolverines took trips
to the penalty box. Not content with
a 3 to 0'lead, the Minnesota side
contested a denied goal when the
puck evidently hit the cross bar of
Loud's net.
The answer was dividend number
four, from a face off at the Michi-
gan end. John Behrendt centered
the disc to John Bolla who put it
through Loud's legs.
Before one minute had elapsed in
the last period, Arnold again tallied
unassisted with half of the squad
battling in the net. Shortly after
this Minnesota's Peterson and Michi-
gan's Bahrych were disqualified for
fighting. The final blow came near
the end of the game from Heiseke
unassisted.

opponent, Tony Bonito, in a what can
best be called a thumping match
from the way they dropped each
other totthemat. Kopel's skill was
enough to outlast the other's fibre
in the long run, however, and Dick
took a 10-6 decision.
After twisting his arm out of shape
at the first scramble so badly that
Coach Keen had to come out and
rub it back into place for him, Ed
Wight was able to put on a whirl-
wind rush to down Lester Latta of
the Oilers in 2:04 of their bout with
a cleverly executed half-Nelson. This
was Wight's first win in Varsity com-
petition out of two matches.
Coach Wins
In a bout so evenly matched that
not one take down could be effected
till the final frame, the Oiler's
stocky, agile student coach, Jake Die-
mert, finally eked out a decision over
Michigan's Ray Deane, 3-1.
Oklahoma's gift to Michigan, Her-
bie tarnett, had little trouble in sub-
duing a muscular Keith Hummon, in
the 155 pound class. Herbie ran up
his points steadily and came out
with a decisive 7-0 verdict in his
favor.
In the most exciting clash of the
afternoon Michigan's heavier half of
the Becker twin combination, Mary,
spotted Findlay's Frank Gren ten
pounds and took over disabled Bill
Courtright's old job at 165 pounds.
After the lead had shifted back
and forth several times, Gren began
to be a little too hard to keep pinned
and picked up a comfortable margin
till the closing minutes of the tussle,
when Becker put on another spurt
which just fell short in the points
column. The buzzer sounded with
Gren holding a well-earned 15-14
decision.
Galles Pins Sheldon
From there on in the Oilers were
in the losing bracket. Captain Jim
Galles felled Orris Sheldon, a game
husky 175 pounder in four minutes.
Cap Jim had just too much strength
and experience for the young Oiler
boy.
To top off the day's happy pro-
ceedings, big Johnny Greene faced
187-lb. Dick Faykosh in the heavy-
weight division, and as was men-
tioned the Findlay grappler came out
a loser not only in the scoring col-
umn but also in the health depart-
ment. While attempting to pin Fay-
kosh with a half-Nelson and bar
arm, Greene pulled hard enough to
tear a cartilage in his opponent's
chest and the match had to be for-
feited to the Wolverines.

Michigan's entry blank for the
two-mile relay race at the famed
Millrose Games in New York's Madi-
son Square Garden Saturday, Feb. 7
will carry the names of Johnny
Kautz, Dave Matthews, Bob Ufer
and Will Ackerman.
The hundred fans who stayed
after the Michigan-Findlay College
wrestling match at the Field House
Saturday afternoon to witness the
special half-mile race which was to
decide the fourth man of the relay
quartet, weit home well satisfied.
Besides the sparse-haired Acker-
man, John Purdue and Johnny In-
gersoll were also competing for that
fourth spot. Lanky-legged Johnny
Roxborough, a sophomore, set pace
for the trio and whipped around at
a terrific clip. Roxy was 40 feet out
in front as the runners bulleted in-
to the final lap. But the pace-set-

ting task proved too much for him
and they all overtook him.
Ackerman flashed by and across
the finish line followed by Ingersoll
and Purdue. There was only nine-
tenths of a second between the four
men. The time was over the Varsity
Field House record.
These four Wolverines will accom-
pany Track Coach Ken Doherty to
New York where they will compete
against an assembly of some of the
top-ranking quartets in the East and
South. In this race Michigan's
half-milers will face experienced
teams from Manhattan, Fordham,
North Carolina, Indiana and Drake.
