FEBRUARY-15, I.42 THE MItHIGAN DAILY PAGE' PI~ERTJA!LY1~ 1S4~ PAGE Illini Overwhelm Cagers; Swimmers Outclass 'V . Phillip Sparks Illinois Team To 52-29 Win Sophomore Five Regains Winning Stride; Holman Paces Michigan Quintet (Continued from Page 1) pivotman., In the next five minutes the Illini sophomore stars started moving and built up a 13 to 4 lead. In this offensive spree Wukovits and Phillips, on long shots, and Ken Menke dropped in a couple free throws for the commanding lead that they never relinquished. By halftime the score stood at 19-10, with Michigan making only four bas- kets in the entire first half. As the second period opened, the Big Ten leaders put on a six-point spurt. They connected with three out of four of their first basket at- tempts as the second half began. Jack Smiley, Wukovits, and Phillip all hit the cords to give the lini a 25 to 10 lead. Michigan then made its final fling as it counted five con- secutive points, but it couldn't hold the pace. The Orange and Blue squad again turned on the steam and raced away. Coach Mills kept his regulars in the game until near the end. With five minutes remaining he replaced the entire starting five. Illinois used 10 men in the tilt and all 10 man- aged to hit the scoring column. Thirteenth Illini Win It was the thirteenth victory for the Illini in 15 games. Their only losses were received from the Cha- nute Field team and Indiana. By their showing tonight they appeared to be headed for the 1942 Western Conference title with only Minnesota and Indiana offering them any re- sistance. Michigan's unpredictable team was definitely outclassed tonight. In the last meeting of the two teams Michi- gan nearly upset the superior squad from Champaign as they lost 44 to 40. But tonight it was a different story. Holman proved to be the lone spark in the otherwise listless Wol- verine offensive.- The only other important scorers for Michigan were Mandler with six points and Capt. Bill Cartmill, who collected a total of five. Oosterbaan Juggles Lineup Coach Bennie Oosterbaan juggled his lineup once more in an attempt to come up with a winner. But it proved to be useless. Oosterbaan started sophomore Wally Spreen, big six foot two forward, in the spot left vacant by the loss of Ralph Gi- bert. Also he used Holman at guard as Leo Doyle was still confined to the hospital at Ann Arbor with an eye injury. Hockey Team Loses; Trackmen win Opener Pucksters Handed 9-1 Beating By Powerful Paris A.C. Team <"> (Continued from Page 1) power attack dominated the play for a great majority of the game. Not lessening the great play of the Canadians, an important factor in the Wolverine loss was something which many thought would be ab- sent. Just as in previous battles, Lowrey's men tired easily, thus giv- ing the visitors greater ease in at- tack. Poor conditioning hampered the Wolverine style to a great ex- tent and when the Varsity did have their few scoring opportunities, they weren't able to rise to the occasion. Only Ed Reichert's poke that hit the mark on a rebound shot of Bob Kemp, kept the Wolverines from be- ing shut out. Fast First Period The first period got under way with the fastest start made on the Coliseum ice this season. Both teams were aggressive, with Michigan get- ting many shots in the early minutes. None of them, however, was able to make the red light flash. Clare Easto, Paris center, opened up the Canadian scoring spree at 6:28, when he sent a shot by Hank Loud and right through the back of the nets. Three minutes later (9:31) Obs Grant gave the visitors a 2-0 lead, after going in all alone. With Norm Lindsay, Paris goalie, in front of the nets, John Corson and Capt. Paul Goldsmith had Michigan's first real scoring opportunity, but no counter materialized. Repeatedly sending down an attack with five men, Paris cashed in again with but 48 seconds left in the initial period. Taking a fine pass from Ernie Usher, Bill Hayward got his first goal of the night, sending the puck singing into the Michigan nets. Paris 3, Michigan 0. Haywood Scores Again Haywood chalked up his second goal early in the second period (2:38), coming up fast after Loud had stopped Martin's attempt. Tony Torti's score on a pass from John Butcher (5:57), coupled with an- other by Playing-Coach Lloyd Kemp- throne (8:50), gave :Paris a safe 6-0 advantage. Reichert turned in I ich- igan's lone tally at 9:14. -At 12:18 Butcher received a major penalty after cracking Kemp down on the ice with some high-sticking, giving Kemp a bad gash over his right eye. Kemp took a penalty shot, but Lind- say blocked it high in the air. Martin made the score 7-1 at 14:50, when he sent a long high shot past Loud. For the succeeding five min- utes, the Wolverines received many more opportunities to score. But asI before, their attempts went astray. Then, with five seconds remaining in the period, Haywood came through with his final marker of the contest on a pass from Usher. Thus, the sec- opd period came to an end with the visitors on top of an 8-1 lop-sided score. The final period found the Varsity turning in its best work of the game. But over-skating the puck after good ED REICHERT passing halted the Wolverines in their final attempts to narrow the margin. Just at the turn of the" period (10:55) Obs Grant made the final score of the night, taking a pass from the ever-alert Martin. Lindsay turned in some remark- able saves in the second half of the period, preventing Michigan from countering. In the fading minutes, Max Bahrych broke loose and skat- ed three-quatrers of the rink, only to have his shot go wide of the nets. In toto, Loud turned back 43 Paris scoring attempts, while Lindsay handled 26 Wolverine shots almost flawlessly.

You miss the Wolverine-Nebraska mat mayhem to be staged right after the basketball game tomorrow night and you've missed the last home per- formance of the finest all-around crew of grapplers Cliff Keen has turned out in years. You'll have missed more. You'll have deliberately cheated yourself of seeing the biggest wrestling spec- tacle ever stagedat this Midwestern institution. The show will attain the carnival proportions found at Eastern schools where wrestling is the major winter sport. The Varsity Band will be on hand to spark the noise and cheering. Cheer leaders will direct yells for in- dividual performers. And with the burden of proof full upon them after all these extensive preparations for hepping them up, the Varsity mat- men declare as one that their part of the program will in return be highly satisfactory indeed. Wolverine Newcomer The humdinger of the evening will be the 145 pound fray which pairs off Nebraska's undefeated ace, Newt Copple, against Michigan's Jonny Johnson. Today Johnny is a distinct nonentity to campus wrestling fol- lowers. Tomorrow night he will no longer be. 'In his collegiate debut, the newcomer from Tulsa, Okla., will be out to demonstrate to the public -and Newt Copple-how to wrestle, Panhandle style. When Newt's brother Ed crosses with either Marv Becker or Herbie Barnett at 155 pounds there'll be fireworks too. The tip-off on this weightier Copple is that he lasted into th efinals of the very tough Midwest Invitational Meet a month ago. Anyone who has seen Mary Becker in action in recent weeks needs no build-up of his ability. He's been raw dynamite all along and would indeed be the better choice against this Copple cookie because Herbie is a natural 145 pounder and would thus be at a significant weight dis- advantage. Mystery Heavyweight Bout About the heavyweight brawl all we know is that no one will fall asleep while it's in progress. Nebras- ka's Herb Jackson is 240 pounds worth of rugged if jelly-like football flesh who a week ago beat the heavyweight on a very highly rated Iowa team. In contrast a definite aura of mys- tery surrounds the Michigan entry in this division. Johnny Greene has some sort of undetermined ailment which makes it very doubtful wheth- er he will see action tomorrow, and to cover all emergencies Cliff Keen has been hurriedly attempting to whip several gridders into shape, of whom Bill Pritula and Bill Kuyper have been getting special attention. But brethren, keep your eyes on this finale for the evening. There is every indication that the Wolverine coach is to open a surprise package at that time, a very surprising pack- age indeed. And this is not just ballyhoo. Little Trouble In Lower Weights As for the other matches we really don't know from nothin'. The first three entries on the Husker roster were pinned in jig} time by their Iowa adversaries a week ago, which may be an indication that Dick Kopel,bBunny Anderson and Ray Deane will not have too much trouble with Meyer Euoka, Frank Messer- smith and Ken Miller respectively. Finally, the two most techniquely polished and powerful Varsity mat- men, Jim Galles and Bill Courtright to be specific, face in Nebraska's Ray Starostka and George Cockle a brace of gentlemen who appear to be neither too polished nor too powerful. Which, however, is as near to calling the turn as this department cares to go. Cindermen Shoou Power To Cop By BOB STAHL (Special to The Daily) EAST LANSING, Feb. 14.-Dis- playing a brand of power sel- dom exhibited so early in the sea- son, the Wolverine track squad raised the curtain with a resounding thud on its 1942 indoor activties in a tri- angular meet with Michigan State and Michigan Normal at East Lan- sing this afternoon. Running up a total of 641%2 points to the Spartans' second place score , Early Season Triangular Meet Davis had just established in the qualifying heat. Thomas also legged his way .to a surprising victory over Huron Whitey Hlad in the 75 yard low hurdles, set- ting a new meet and Field House record of 8.5 seconds in this event. Hlad bumped his leg going over the first hurdle, which slowed his pace considerably, but Thomas' time was the same as that turned in by Hlad in the preliminary heat, so that no credit should be taken away from the speedy Wolverine because of Hlad's misfortune. The efforts of the Huron timber- topper did not go unrewarded, how- ever. Taking the wooden barriers in perfect stride, the sensational Hlad hurdled to a win in the 75 yard highs in the amazing time of 9 seconds, which equals the world record for the hurdle event at that distance and which rings up a new meet record 3/10 of a second better than that which Hlad himself set last year, Ufer Breaks Records The third big gun of the Michi- gan offense today, quarter-miler Bob Ufer, ran the finest race of his career in the 440 and in so doing ruined what was to have been the best event of the afternoon, by breaking the tape more than 10 yards ahead of Huron Joe Matyunas. This quarter-mile event Was to have been the closest race of the meet, with Ufer and Matyunas be- lieved to have been so nearly equal in ability that nobody would attempt to predict the winner before the meet started. Ufer quickly proved how wrong the dopesters were, however, by taking the lead on the first turn of the two-lap race and sprinting the entire distance ahead of the Huron flash, turning in a time of 48.8 sec- onds, almost two full seconds better than the former meetmark, and also breaking the Field House record as 1 well as establishing a new Michigan Varsity indoor record. The Wolverines shoved one more Field House record into oblivion as Dave Matthews turned on the heat in the last lap of the half-mile race to cross the finish line in 1:56.4 sec- onds. John Roxborough, Michigan sophomore, nosed out the Spartans' Walter Mack to take a surprising second place in this event. Meet Notre Dame Next Ernie Leonardi's victory in the two-mile stint, the showing made by John Ingersoll, Will Ackerman and Willis Glas in the mile run, and the win turned in by the mile relay team all added to Michigan's total volume of points and did much to bolster the hopes of the Wolverines for another successful track season. The Michigan cinder aggregation is scheduled to meet a very power- ful Notre Dame team at Yost Field House next Friday night in what promises to be the best meet ever staged on a local cinder track. BOB UFER Purdue Varsity Scores 55-29 Victory Over Riveters Patten Cracks Pool Mark; Wolverines Lose iving As Martin Is Withheld (Continued from Page 1) has cracked the record, but since it wasn't made in the Big Ten Meet it doesn't count in the official books. Capt. Dobby Burton turned in the best Michigan performance in the 100 yard freestyle to date as he sprinted the distance in :53.2. Mann switched his lineup, using Burton in the 100 and Gus Sharemet in the 50, but the change didn't benefit Share- met as it did the Wolverine vest- pocket battleship. The big Maize and Blue senior had to be content with third place behind teammate Bruce Allen in the shorter event. Allen's winning time was :24.8.. Continuing his winning ways, Michigan's dorsal star Dick Reidl breezed home first in the 150 yard backstroke, with Ted Horlenko coun- tering the second place points. The Wolverine backstroke ace required 1:39.7 for his winning effort, keeping up with the times which have char- acterized his performances on the Maize and Blue midwestern tour. Not to be outdone, Jim Skinner, national titleholder and husky Ann Arbor junior, butterflyed his way to another impressive victory in the 200 yard breaststroke with John Share- met finishing second to Skinner's 2:26.8 time. Walt Stewart, Wolverine sopho- more, once again copped the 440 yard freestyle-this time churning the dis- tance in 5:04.8. The Michigan crew also swept the relay contests. Redl, Skinner and Gus Sharemet teaming together to win the 300 yard medley in 2:59.7, while Patten, Lou Kivi, Allen, and Sharemet again captured the 400 yard freestyle relay, lopping one second off their last night's time against Northwestern as they stroked the distance in 3:35.6. With the end of the last relay the Midwestern swing of the Wolverine mermen came to successful close. Smothering all opposition the Mann- ators submerged the tank crews of Ohio State, Northwestern and the Boilermakers since they left Ann Ar- bor last Tuesday night. Warmerdam Leaps High For New Vault Record BOSTON, Feb. 14. -(P)-- Corny Warmerdam, the 28-year-old San Francisco schoolmaster who holds all the world pole vaulting records, made the highest one in history, 15 feet 74 inches, on his third and final try at that height before a 13,000 crowd at the 53rd Boston A.A. Track Games tonight. of 35%/2 and the Hurons 30 points, the Wolverines shattered four meet records and three Jenison Field House marks, and trampled into the dust any hopes which the SpartansI or Michigan Normal might have had! of breaking Wolverine cinder supre- macy in the state. Much of- the credit for the volume of points amassed by the Wolverines must go to Michigan's high-scoring triumvirate of track, Frank McCar- thy, Al Thomas and Bob Ufer. Com- peting in four events, McCarthy copped first place in the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 24 inches which was more than two inches bet- ter than the meet record which he himself-set last year. The versatile McCarthy also grab- bed second place in the high jump and high hurdle events, and placed third in the 75 yard low hurdles. The honor of being the only en- trant today to garner wins in two events goes to Al Thomas, speedy Wolverine sprinter. Blazing out of the starting blocks like a shot out of a gun, Thomas streaked across the finish line in the 75 yard dash in 7.6 seconds, just a step ahead of Michigan State's Hugh Davis, and broke the new meet record which Michigan Hits .500 On Sports Front Track Mile Run--Won .by Scott (State); second, Ingersoll (Michigan); third, Ackerman (Michigan) ; Fourth, Glas Time-4 :22:7.
