Continuing his red-hot pace of the still embryonic season, Michigan's wing-footed quarter-miler, Bob Ufer, tied the meet and Field House record for the 440 yard run of 49.1 seconds, set by Pitt's Johnny Woodruff in 1937. Sprinting all the way, Ufer broke the tape at least 25 yards ahead of Wolverine Jim Sears, the stop-. watches disclosing the fact that he was just a shade away from a new record. Carter Ties Record Pittsburgh's flashy Bill Carter, who tied the American indoor record for the 60 yard dash last year in the sensational time of 6.1 seconds, was the only double winner for the Pan- thers, sweeping to wins in the sprint event and in the broad jump. Com- peting against Michigan's ace sprint- er, Al Thomas, in the 60 yard dash, the speedy Panther broke out of the starting blocks like a projectile shot from a gun, and blazed his way to a one-step victory over Thomas, ty- ing the meet record of 6.3 seconds inj the event. Besides the mile race in which Will Ackerman, Ernie Leonardi, and John Ingersoll took three top places for the Wolverines, Michigan runners also swept all nine points in the 880 yard run. In what was probably the best race of the evening, Johnny Kautz and John Roxborough battled it out all the way to the finish tape, with Kautz finally crossing the line just a step ahead of the Wolverine sophomore half-miler. Johnny McKean, with a first place in the two-mile run, and Gene Hirsch, who nosed out big George Ostroot in the shot put, won their first Michigan varsity letters last night, as did Buel Morley dnd George Pettersen, members of the winning mile-relay team. Doherty Experiments Using the meet to a large extent as a proving ground for next week's Big Ten meet, Coach Ken Doherty experimented all along the line, shift- ing his charges from their accus- tomed events into other races in an effort to ascertain the best combi- nations to use against the other Con- ference teams at Chicago. In such a move, Dave Matthews, top half- miler of the Wolverine squad, checked out of his favorite distance last night to anchor the mile-relay team to a 25 yard victory over the Panthers. Ted Williams Deferred By Presidential Board MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 27. -(IP)-- Ted Williams, clouting Boston Red Sox outfielder, has been deferred from military duty by a presidential board order because of the depend- ency of his mother, State Selective Service Headquarters announced to- day. Williams, single, originally was classified in 3-A because of support of his mother, but recently as, re- classified into 1-A and passed a pre- liminary medical examination prior to formal Army induction. TSPORTFOLIO i Michigan Rumour Wave Y Ye Ed Analyzes: By HAL WILSON Daily Sports Editor OUT OF THE FLOOD of rumour, speculation and confusion that dipped clibrally into printers' ink yesterday in newspapers from coast to coast concerning the possibility that Athletic Director Herbert O. (Fritz) Crisler was headed for a key assignment in the nation's military program stand a few concrete facts. Local observers of the Michigan athletic scene have known for some time that several members of the Wolverine coaching staff had taken physical examinations for naval positions, that some had made application for physical education posts with United States armed forces, and that others had definitely been contacted by government officials on the subject. YESTERDAY the Ann Arbor News tied all the loose facts and some con- jecture together and made the speculatory whole its lead story on page one under an eight column banner with large pictures of Crisler, Ernie Mc- Coy, Cliff Keen and Ray Roberts. Crisler, the News story declared, will probably be directing a physical education program for Uncle Sam "within the next two weeks." The Associated Press picked up the story before the News ever hit the newsstands, and, after carefully quoting the source, put it on their national trunk wire where it was circulated throughout the country. Another news service became so excited they broke their finest pair of clipping shears. And in their bulldog edition last night the Detroit Free Press speculated on the possibility that Line Coach Clarence Munn may take over the head coaching reins if Fritz does leave. NOW-THE PRIME QUESTION IS: Just what is true? Where does fact end and rumour begin? After a thorough investigation these things stand out: Fritz has been approached from two angles, the Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy and the Great Lakes Training Station at Chicago. He admits this, but declines fur- ther comment other than declaring that he stands ready to do his best to serve both his nation and the University to the utmost of his ability. Reports have it that Great Lakes is seeking Crisler to serve the ! double role of heading its entire physical education program and coach its football team, which will probably include such former gridiron greats as Minnesota's Bruce Smith, Michigan's Ed Frutig and the Chi- cago Bears' George McAfee. THE PROPOSAL from the Bureau of Aeronautics to Crisler is said to offer him a lieutenant commandership in charge of the athletic training course at one of the four centers to be established for naval aviation cadets. Under the setup which has been announced by the Bureau from Washing- ton four sites will be founded at which the cadets will undergo a rigorous three-months program of physical education before their actual flight train- ing. The University of Iowa is the Midwestern center, St. Marys College in California the Far West, University of Georgia in the South, and either the University of North Carolina, Harvard or Penn State in the East. The question of whether any action would be forthcoming "with- in the next two weeks," as reported, could not be pinned down last night. Authoritative sources, however, indicated that this time limit is way out of line with actual fact, that if a move is made, it will be quite some time ,n the future. OTHER MATTERS that fall under the heading of definite fact are: wrest- ling coach Cliff Keen, assistant basketball coach Ernie McCoy, and Trainer Ray Roberts all took their physical examinations at naval head- quarters in Chicago last week along with Wolverine gridmen Bob Ingalls, Bob Flora, Whitey Fraumann and Bob Westfall. McCoy declared positively yesterday, however, that he has not applied for any kind of an appointment. "It's news to me," Ernie stated, after learning that the News had printed: "McCoy might head up the basketball program at the University of Iowa." Likewise Roberts had no definite word, although he was willing to tell all the leadup developments to the report. Tom Hamilton, lieuten- ant commander of the naval physical education program, sent Ray a letter asking if he would be interested in such a setup. Roberts wrote back that he would be proud to aid iis country all he could, declaring that he hoped it would not interfere with his future at the University. He took the physical exam with the rest, shot in his application papers, and is now awaiting confirmation from Washington. NEITHER ROBERTS nor McCoy could understand the News' statement to the effect that: "None of these coaches, however, had any disclosure to make today in regard to his future plans." Both declared they had not been contacted by the News: Mentioned for one of the posts in the national physical education program, also, is Mat Mentor Keen. More specifically, Cliff is reported headed for Iowa to teach the cadets fundamentals of wrestling. Keen took his team to Ohio State yesterday afternoon, however, and could not he reached for comment. ONE LAST FACT: President Alexander G. Ruthven declared last night that Crisler has not asked for a leave of absence. From this point on, it's all speculation.

By STAN CLAMAGE With the local hockey following yet to see a Maize and Blue tri- umph, Michigan's puck team will at- tempt to ring up its second Big Ten victory - and the second of the season - against Minnesota at 8:30 p.m. tonight in the Coliseum. When the Gophers came to Ann Arbor two days ago to meet the Wol- verines for their first game on Mich- igan ice this year, they were sporting a not too impressive record - in- cluding a two-game split with Eddie Lowrey's team late last month. Thursday, when the two teams came to blows, Minnesota went on the ice as a slight favorite. But for sixty minutes of wild play, the big rivals played on relatively even terms. Still the Gophers sent four goals through Hank Loud, while the Wolverines finished the game scoreless. Few Shots Attempted The most remarkable fact about Thursday's contest is that the usual large number of shots was missing. Loud made half (21) the number of saves that he usually does. Burt Joseph, Minnesota's fine net-minder, made only 24 stops. Including the four Gopher scores, the two goalies had a total of 49 attempts come their way. This is where the catch comes in. Michigan had many fine opportun- ities to score, but a great majority of the shots went far wide of their mark. Between the blue lines the Wolverines played even with Larry Armstrong's crew, but when the pay- off came, Michigan wasn't able to meet the test Joseph Sparkled However, don't take any credit away from Joseph. The senior Min- nesota net-tender turned in a spark- ling game. He was really "on the beam," while across the ice, Hank Loud wasn't so lucky. Minnesota's first goal was a complete mystery; the second was aided by an unalert Wolverine; the remaining two were straight, hard shots, too hot for Loud to handle. To top it off, all four scores were counted unassisted. As opportunists, the Wolverine sex- tet didn't fare very well. While Min- nesota played 18 minutes shorthand- ed because of nine minor penalties, Michigan's numerical supremacy did- n't click with its willingness. At one time, the Gophers battled with two men in the penalty box. Wolverines Forced The Fight One important feature developed in the encounter Thursday. For the first time this year the Wolverines forced the fight. Following up every play into the corners, Captain Paul Goldsmith and team kept the game moving all the time. This is some- thing that fans have been calling for all season. At least it's some in- dication that the sextet is attempting to shift from their defensive style to a more agressive type of play. Tonight's clash between these same squads should produce a better game than the one two nights ago. Min- nesota's offense will again be paced by Bob Arnold, Capt. Al Eggleton and Don Nolander. When Nolander was not keeping the penalty box warm in Thursday's game, he played a prin- cipal part in the Gopher offense. Arnold and Eggleton are fast skat- ers with some snappy shots. Michigan will probably start the same six that lost two days ago. Leading the Maize and Blue pack will again be big Johnny Gillis, bul wark for the Wolverines on defense. Here's a tip on tonight's scrap: Michigan to be much improved. Michigan Mat Squad Tangles With Buckeyes Columbus Match Outcome May Show Michigan's Chances In Big Ten By HOE SELTZER It's Michigan versus Ohio State tonight once again. The scene is Columbus and the sport this time is wrestling. And as usual the battle between these two institutions is fraught with signifi- cance. Unless Cliff Keen's boys turn back the Buckeye bid in fairly im- pressive fashion, his Big Ten title- aspiring charges might just as well kiss the Conference cup goodbye, be- cause State is in no wise considered great shakes this season in the mat- ter of wrestling. Even Meet And yet this meet shapes up as a pretty even-Stephen affair in eveW respect except the won-lost record of thecontestants. The Ohios have to date dropped four out of four while Michigan has won five out of six. But on the basis of their amaz- ing showing against a tough Illinois troupe last week plus the fact that both squads were sandbagged by Michigan State by almost identical scores (17-11, Michigan and 19-11, Buckeye] it may be predicted that tonight's show will be anything but the soft touch it appeared a few days ago. To lay the cards face up the thing looks like a stalemate, with only an extra fall win for either side break- ing a tie. Fear is rampant that the first three matches and the heavy- weight go will be nabbed by the Scarlet and Gray, while the in-be- tweeners should be ours. Kopel Determined Dick Kopel at 121 pounds for Mich- igan has another opinion than this dope sheet however. Dick is a mite peeved at being outpointed last week and avers that Ohio's Bruce Kessel- ring had better bring more onto the mat this evening than press clippings if he doesn't want his ears pinned flatly back. On the other hand Bukeye 145 pounder Joe Stora is supposed to be a rather adept performer in the rope- less ring, which puts his match with Wolverine Johnny Johnson into the category of the unpredictable. The other matches, viz: Harvey Littleton or Maurle Ander- son vs. Davey Jones at 128 pounds. Raye Deane vs. Keith Wolfe at 136 pounds. Mary Becker vs. Leslie Mullet at 155 pounds. Bill Courtright vs. Capt. John Santschi at 165 pounds. Capt. Jim Galles vs. Jim Bradfield at 175 pounds, and finally, Al Wistert vs. Joe Novak, heavy- weight, should all conform to the win- lose dope sheet sketched, above. We repeat however that anything can happen in tonight's fray. Where- fore we are not laying even light sugar in bold wager on any of our callings of the turn. 508 EAST WILLIAM Formerly University Music Shop ' 1 1 I 1 1 1 D m 1 LENTE IS IroNT Yale Swamps Columbia NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-(IP)-Yale's all-conquering swimming team, mythical national champions after their recent swamping of Michigan, tied one N.C.A.A. mark and chalked up two Eastern Intercollegiate Lea- gue "best performances" in defeating Columbia 52-23. when Fresh Sea Food is available!
