Sextet Excels In Single Win OverGophers Aggressive Team Playing Featured; Tired Varsity Routed In Second Game By STAN CLAMAGE Puck Slips: A blank in the win column that has stood the heat of many battles was finally filled last Thursday night when the Wolverine hockey team turned in its first vic- tory of the season against the 'used- to-be-great' Minnesota Gophers. For the 1100 Minnesota fans it was a big surprise to see their sextet take it on the chin against the previously weak Michigan team. For the Michi- gan fans the 3-2 victory was as great a thrill as a surprise-the Maize and Blue had finally 'brought home the bacon.' Teams Battle Thursday's game found a Michigan team playing as it had never played before. It was a battle fought by a team and not by individuals. After Bob Collins had powered the first goal into the nets in the first period (7:12), another following with Max Bahrych scoring on a pass from Paul Goldsmith, Minnesota was completely set back on its heels. Bob Smith and John Peterson, go- liath Gopher defensemen, bounced Eddie Lowrey's men hard against the boards all night, but the Wolverines were not to be denied this time. Gold- smith made the score 3-0 in the third period. In less than a minutes, how- ever, Minnesota narrowed the margin by denting the nets for two quick markers. But here it all ended, Mich- igan 3, Minnesota 2. Saturday Was Different Saturday's contest was a different story. With their first victory tucked away the Wolverines pressed hard in an attempt to make it two straight. But they never completely recovered from the physical beating that was received two days before. Larry Arm- strong's team started early, and the tired Wolverines were never able to head off their opponents once they started moving. In taking the second game from Michigan, 6-0, Minnesota turned in two markers on shots from face-offs. Another went singing into the Wol- verine nets after a lone poke from outside the blue line. The same Hank Loud who had turned in an amazing game in the nets for Michigan on Thursday didn't get his share of the breaks that night. . The puckmen lay away their skates for three weeks for final examina- tions and semester changes, and start play again on Feb. 14 when they meet the Paris A.C. in the Coliseum. Dur- ing the final month of playing they will face Colorado College in two con- tests at Colorado Springs and will finish the season playing two more games each with Michigan Tech, Ill- inois and Minnesota.

The Hoosiers to- night regained the form which helped them to. an early season upset win over Purdue and gained them one of the best pre-Conference schedule rec- ords in the Big Ten. The game, which before the open- ing whistle stacked up as a fairly even battle, soon took on the com- plexion of a rout,.and as the Hoosiers -who are famous for playing basket- ball all year round-got hotter and hotter, Michigan's hardy cagers wilt- ed under the fire. The Wolverines will resume their quest for a higher rung on the Big Ten basketball ladder Saturday when they tackle the same Minnesota quin- tet which walloped them 44-32 in Minneapolis two weeks back. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-(A}.In semi-darkness and miserable playing conditions, l3eltin' Benny Hogan charged home like the champion he is to win the $5,000 San Francisco Open Golf Tournament today with a 72-hole total of 279--nine under par. Last to start and finish, Hogan hit the California club course for a one under-par 71 on the final round to win top money of $1,000 and his second tournament in this state within three weeks. He took the major prize, $3,500, in the recent Los Angeles Open and fol- lowed that with a second place tie in the Oakland event a week later. Hogan played some of the finest golf of his career in view of the ad- verse playing condition of the course. Golfers slipped and slid over mushy fairways and saw balls buried in, greens. The event had been post- poned for two days after the opening round because of rain. His 65, seven under par, for the first round not only equalled the competitive course record but gave him a lead on the field that was never seriously threatened. If Great Leaping Guns!

Mann and his e natators will take to the road for the Columbus encounter Feb. 11, andt will keep traveling to face the North-q western and Purdue swimming teams i on Feb. 13 and 14 respectively. 1 Michigan Takes Early Lead c Last Saturday's meet with the Buckeyes saw Michigan take an early lead which was never threatened. Contrary to what was expected, Coachs Mike Peppe's invaders fell with rela-I tive ease before the sharp-fanged1 Wolverines, as the home team cap- tured first place in all but two events,t the 100 yard freestyle and the 150i yard backstroke.r And even more can be expectedk from the Michigan crew in the future.t The natators are not at top form1 yet, and according to Mann's training schedule they won't hit their peak until the biggest dual meet of the year against Yale's eastern champs here on Feb. 21. But even so the Wolverines were impressive Saturday. With junior Jack Patten setting the pace, theyt swept aside the Ohio State chal- lenge like so much dust. Patten Takes Honors Patten came into his own against the Buckeyes. Taking first place in. both the 220 and 440 freestyle events, the Michigan distance ace was high point man for the night with 10t markers. Add to this the fact that, he cracked the Big Ten 220 with a mark of 2:11.7, and you'll get a rough idea of what the husky junior will do when he hits his top stride around midseason. In the diving, Michigan's Strother3 (T-Bone) Martin disposed of the toughest competition in intercollegi- ate circles, Charlie Batterman and! Frank Dempsey-Peppe's hopes to replace Al Patnik and Earl Clark at the top of the heap. Martin was too much for the highly touted Buckeye{ duo, which installs him as the favorite to cop the national crown. The three meet again in Colum- bus, however, and Martin can be sure that the two Ohio State aces aren't conceding him a victory on the basis of last week's results. They'll be just as tough, if not tough- er in their home pool, but the Maize and Blue star, with the increased confidence resulting from his recent triumph. should once again win top honors. The Wolverines' two relay teams, medley and freestyle, beat off strong Ohio State challenges to win their events, with the medley trio of Dick Riedl, John Sharemet, and Gus Sharemet having a more difficult time of it than did the freestyle quartet of Capt. Dobby Burton, Gus Sharemet, Tommy Williams and Lou Kivi. The winning time in the med- ley was 3:00.5, while 3:37.8 took the closing freestyle race. Follanshee Trims Riedl Mark Follansbee, the Buckeye sophomore backstroke sensation had his hands full beating Riedl in the 150 yard backstroke event. The Scarlet and Gray entry barely touched out the Wolverine, winning in the time of 1:40.1. Ted Horlenko, Michigan's other entry, took third but brought more than his share of smiles to Mann's face as he covered the distance just five-tenths of a second slower than Follansbee to Owen Will Accept Brooklyn Contract BROOKLYN, Jan. 26-(/P)-Mickey Owen, the crusty little catcher who was a holdout from the Brooklyn Dodgers at this time last year, has written President Larry MacPhail he would accept whatever 1942 contract his boss thought was fair. The ball club, in revealing receipt of the letter today, disclosed for the first time that MacPhail had written some of his leading players inviting them to come to Brooklyn at the club's expense for a discussion of their new contracts. Dolph Camilli, the National Lea- gue's imost valuable player, Whitlow Wyatt and Billy Herman were among those written but Owen was the first to reply. "Naturally, Larry, I want to make as much as I can, but I want to be worth it and earn every cent of it. Send me whatever contract you think is fair. It will only take me five min- utes to sign as you have always treated me fine," he wrote. chalk up his fastest time of the year. And Walt Stewart likewise came up with a pleasant gift for the Michi- gan mentor. Stewart finished third to Patten and Buckeye Don Schna- bel in the 440 freestyle, but his time of 5:05.7 was the best he's ever done and gives indication of better things to come. Burton Wins Close One Capt. Burton touched out Capt. John Leitt of Ohio State to capture the 50 yard freesytle in :24.1, with Bob West garnering the third place markers for the Wolverines. Leitt responded by beating Michigan's Gus Sharemet and Burton in the 100 yard freestyle, taking the event in 54 seconds flat. As expected, Jim Skinner, national titleholder, disposed of Ohio State's Charlie Spangler with little trouble in the 200 yard breaststroke while teammate John Sharemet was barely touched out by the Buckeye. Skin- ner's winning time was 2:27.8. With their first meeting against their most powerful Western Con- ference opponent safely behind them, and fairly certain that they should be able to whip the Buckeyes again as well as beating Northwestern and Purdue, the Michigan natators are pointing for their clash with Yale. That's the big one. Luck On Your Exams! "We all can't be genii but we're all human and willing to do our best. That's the spirit!" The ]Daseola Barbers Between State and Mich.

Varsity Vaulter Sadk; No Chance To Set Record In the time trials two weeks ago the varsity pole vaulter was flirting with . 13 feet and barely missed clearing it twice. Last Friday he just nosed over 12 feet. The question was asked of the lad how come. How come this deprove-, ment instead of improvement? "O.K., then," the gent says mood- ily, "I'll give you the straight dope. It's the whole set-up down here. It ain't inspirin', it ain't conducive to success. Look. The world vault rec- ord is 15 feet 5% inches. Two days ago I decides to run the standards up to that height just to see what I gotta shoot at. "Was I disgusted! The highest they go is 14 feet. Now I ask you. It's a downright slap in the face to give a guy standards a foot and a half short of the record. That's what's the matter with me now. I got a in- feriority complex!" We asked the crushed soul how high he had previously done. The manager who helped us to our feet whispered: "Thirteen feet-just once." By JACK FLAGLER Like all good Michigan athletes around this time of the year, Cliff Keen's rugged crew of matmen, fresh from their rousing thumping of Find- lay College's Oilers Saturday, 26-6, are heading for the nearest libraries with an eye to keeping up that o1' debbil scholarship, so there'll be little tussling done around the Field House till after exams. The Wolverines will start off next semester against one of those always potent Corn Belt outfits, Nebraska, Feb. 16, and if they can keep up the pace they seemed to hit against Find- lay, should chalk up their third win of the year. Johnny Greene-Villain Heavyweight Johnny Greene won villain honors for the afternoon when he unceremoniously slipped a pro- digious half-Nelson onto the Oiler's Dick Faykosh in the final bout of the doy with such verve and gusto that. said Faykosh came up with a torn chest cartilage, which will prob- ably keep him out of competition for a good while. Strictly unintentional on Johnny's part of course, but it proves that the Wolverines heaviest grappler is one powerful boy. Faykosh topped the scale at about 190 pounds himself so it was no little task to hurt a lad of that size. Although the injury was painful and enough to make Faykosh forfeit the match, it was not serious. Another Casualty The only other casualty of sorts was Findlay's student coach, husky Jake Diemert, who had an old wound on his forehead opened during his match with Ray Deane which the former won, 3-1. Cliff Keen was talking about stu- dent coaches before the match Fri- day. Says some of the best mentors he's run into have been student coaches. "When Northwestern won the Big Ten baseball title two or three years back they had a player coach. Mighty fine one too." Cliff went on. "Then I remembert one of the best coaches in the busi- ness when I was wrestling in school, was a student coach. Up at North- western on the faculty now. O. H. BIG TEN SCORES OSU Humbles Maroons...

Cliff gave out with a cagy chuckle at this point. "If what?" we asked with interest. "If he'd have won his match with me," was the quick reply, and he stepped briskly over to show one of his boys a bar arm.
