THlURSDAY; FEBRUAY 19I~, 1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY i i I 1 Sextet Meets Tigers Twice This Weekend Colorado College Favored Although Both Teams Have Mediocre Record By STAN CLAMAGE Ten Wolverine hockey players bid adieu to a freezing Ann Arbor at 1:37 p.m. today anid point their skates toward Colorado Springs, the land where they play golf in mid-winter (Chamber of Commerce report). Meeting Colorado College's fast- skating sextet tomorrow and Satur- day nights, the Maize and Blue team will have one of the biggest tests on its hands. Neither Record Red Hot A record book comparison between the two squads reveals very little diffbrence in potential strength. While Michigan has won one, tied one and lost eight in the current sea- son, the Tigers have won three and tied two in eleven battles. But additional facts tell a different story. Colorado opened up its twelve- game schedule in a fashion which was very dissimilar to previous sea- sons. Its club, however, has moved ahead with leaps and bounds. Which all means that Eddie Lowrey's puck- men are going to tangle with a team which is just now beginning to reach its predicted peak. For Michigan we have a quite different story. Although also start- ing out weakly, the Wolverines haven't seemed to be getting any- where. Whereas the Tigers haven't been beaten in their last three starts against two of the best squads on the West Coast, Michigan has won but one in its last three contests. And in those last three games, the Maize and Blue sextet has scored but four goals, while their opponents have poked in 17. Colorado College's six-shooters are loaded with plenty of power, with two or three players singled out for special capabilities. Spike Wilson, Chick Ross and Bob Scarlett played all-important parts last year when the -Tigers beat and tied Michigan,1 7-3 and" 1-1. Wilson Great Player Wilson is a big, rangy center from Canada, and was last year acclaimed by coaches and sports writers on the Pacific Coast the greatest player in college hockey. He is fast and has an excellent shooting eye. Ross was the Tiger captain last year, and, in addi- tion to being a fine offensive player, he plays one whale of a game at right defense. Michigan's traveling squad in- eludes Captain Paul Goldsmith, Hank Loud, John Gillis, Bill Dance, Bob Kemp, Bob Collins, Ed Reichert, Max Bahrych, Doug Hillman and Roy Bradley. I h Ik MICHIGAN UNION T~~QOt !t7 Irish Track Team Given Edge Over Varsity Here Tomorrow By BOB STAHL Michigan's long-standing jinx over the Notre Dame track team will have to do double-duty when the Irish and the Wolverines clash in Yost Field House tomorrow night, because for the first time in many long years, the Irish will go into the contest as pre- meet favorites. As the dopesters have pointed out, however, this edge which the Irish apparently hold over the Wolverines on paper might not be so easy to shift onto the track when tomorrow night rolls around. Many are the angles involved in this meet and any breaks falling in the direction of the Wolverines might very well give them another victory. Third Place Important Most important of these many angles is the fact that in a meet as close as this one promises to be, the outcome might very well depend on the number of third places which each team is able to take. From a comparison of the records of the two teams, Michigan, with a goodly nm- ber of outstanding sophomores, holds the edge in this department and so has a better than even chance of Michigan State Matmen Rated With The Best By HOE SELTZER Today's daily story or. the grapple art will break precedent but let it. It is a feature on a wrestling team other than our own and in fact on our arch rival, Michigan State. A great team they have at East Lansing. Last Saturday night the Spartans met with do-or-die spirit the Joe Louis of collegiate wrestling, Oklahoma A. & M. Yeah, State lost-by 13 seconds and no more. And if this score sounds a might amiss read on. The critical match of the evening turned out to be State captain Tuffy Merrill's 155 pound affair with na- tional champ Vern Logan of the Oklahomas. Tuffy dropped the match by a 5-4 count because of the A. & M.-er's last second reversal. But with only 13 seconds more time advantage he'd have had another point and tied the score. And in the overtime peri- ods Tuffy would really have cleaned house on the tired champ. The official score was 19-15, Okla- homa. It might well have been 18-16 the other way around. Cut Jennings had come down from 128 to 121 pounds for the opening bout, and spiked all rumors about being dangerously enfeebled by the dropped weight by pinning his puppy in a very torrid :57. The other humdinger of the eve- ning was at 145 pounds. At precisely 8:34 the Spartan fans gave Bill Max- well and the whole meet up as lost when his shoulders were only centi- meters from the mat. At 8:44 the match was over. Max- well the victor-on a pin. As if from a hot foot he had exploded up from his hopeless situation, turned the Oklahoman over like a flapjack and pasted his back to the canvas. Ten seconds it took. You see what I mean about these State matmen. They don't know what it means to give up. Men like that a guy has got to write about. Buckeye Tinc~lads Win COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 18.-()- Ohio State University opened its in- door track season here today by trampling the University of Pitts- burgh, 76 to 28. Bob Wright, ace Ohio sprinter, won the 60-yard high hurdles, tied with Stickel of Pitt in the 70-yard low hurdles, and finished third in the shot put and the 60-yard dash. maintaining its traditional suprem-I acy over the Irish. Several events of the meet seem to be toss-ups as far as picking the winner is concerned, and in almost every such case, the Wolverines have two stars to carry their torch, with the Irish possessing but one. This would mean, obviously, that the Michigan team will get the majority of third places. Take the 60 yard dash, for ex- ample. Notre Dame has as its out- standing runner in this event Jay Gibson, who has covered the distance in 6.4 seconds. Both Capt. Al PielI and Al Thomas of the Wolverine squad have equalled this time, how- ever, so Michigan is assured of two places here, with a possibility of cap- turing the top two spots. Low Hurdles Close The low hurdles present almost the same situation, but with the Wolver- ines taking a probable first place' here. Al Thomas turned in a record- breaking 7.4 seconds for the event at East Lansing last Saturday, which is just one-tenth of a second better than that ever run by Notre Dame's Bill Dillon or Wolverine sophomore Chuck Pinney. In the other events, which are eas- ier to predict, Michigan seems to have the majority of third-place win- ners also. Notre Dame is almost cer- tain of winning the shot put with its big weight star, Jim Delaney, hav- ing tossed the iron nugget over 50 feet this year. That would leave second place for Wplverine George Ostroot and, on the basis of bast performances, Michigan's Gene Hirsch should capture third-place honors here. Half-Milers Strong The Wolverines have a chance of sweeping the half-mile race, with Dave Matthews, Johnny Kautz, John Roxborough, and Will Ackerman to run for them. Even if Notre Dame's Dick Tupta can sprint to a second place for the Irish in this event, the Wolverines are again assured of one man finishing third. Regardless of the overbalance of power which the Irish hold on paper, then, in actuality the two teams seem to be about as evenly matched as two equally-sized circles. And, if the Wol- verine jinx is working at full time tomorrow night, history might once more repeat itself. If so, the Irish will have to go victory-hungry for another year. Gym Program Now Changed For Freshmen Plans Made To Prepare Students For Routine, Vigor Of Military Life (Editor's note: This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the efforts of the Physical Education Do- partment to aid in the nation's war effort.) By MYRON DANN In answer to the United States Army's cry, "we need 'em, tough. rough and rugged," the Physical Ed- ucation Department is bending all efforts towards preparing the stu- dents for the vigorous routines of military life. To do this, the freshman gym pro- gram has been completely revised, special courses for the selectees are being offered, and the entire facili- ties of the Physical Education De- partment has been put at the dis- posal of the ROTC and NROTC. Dr. Elmer Townsley of the Water- man Gymnasium, said yesterday that "the new freshman health program had been designed to emphasize conditioning rather than skills. Ac- tivities that build up the student's strength and endurance are being stressed. Naturally some of these new sports will not be quite as enjoy- able as the old ones, but the need is so great I feel that the objection is insignificant." "According to reports from the Army officers and the selectees, the ones who make the best soldiers are those who have had a considerable amount of work in Physical Educa- tion," Dr. Townsley pointed out. For the upperclassmen who will enter the military service soon as selectees, the department is offering a special short term course. Activi- ties in this class will be confined to those that are of special use to the student in his later Army life. Dr. Townsley, who conducts 'this class, urges all prospective selectees to re- port to the Waterman Gymnasium between 4 and 5 p.m. Saturday for the next meeting of the group. On Wednesday evenings a special class for the NROTC is offered in boating. Students in V-7 or V-5 who are interested in taking part in this special Navy program are urged to contact NROTC headquarters any time this week, By BUD HENDEI1 The invasion is at hand. And no army, no squadron of interceptor planes, or no battery of anti-aircraft guns can stop it. Only Michigan's championship crew of swimmers can halt the invaders in their tracks and retain the long- standing Wolverine supremacy of the natatorial world. For mighty Yale, universally ac- claimed as one of the greatest swim- ming teams in history, will arrive in Ann Arbor tomorrow in advance of its battle with the far-famed Wol- verines in the Sports Building Pool Saturday. No fanfare will accompany the sen- sational Yale crew when they reach their destination here tomorrow. In- stead, grim determination to end the Michigan rule of the waves will nark the arrival of the Eastern marvels. But equally grim and equally de- termined will be the foe of this Nep- tune of the East. No Michigan team has ever worked harder for one meet than has Coach Matt Mann's present aggregation. Never has one group of Maize and Blue color-bearers pointed for one opponent as has this Wolverine swimming team. And it will take Michigan's best to turn back the growling Bulldog threat. . In the last two years only one team has stood in Yale's path to the na- SWIMMING NOTICE All Varsity and freshman swim- mers report to the Sports Build- ing Pool at 5 p.m. today for an important meeting. --Coach Matt Mann tional crown - Michigan. Besides beating the New Haven outfit for the National Collegiate title two years in succession, the Wolverines hold a three to two edge in the dual meet history of thedtwo schools. When the teams meet here Saturday night, the Elis will be resolved to even the score. But Michigan will be just as resolved to remain a stumbling block on the Yale road to supremacy. Fancy Diving And when the huge crowd, which will jam every inch of available space in the Michigan natatorium Satur- day night, witnesses the fancy diving duel, they will see for themselves a prime example of the intense rivalry which exists between the Wolverines and the Bulldogs. For the men re- garded as the two greatest divers in collegiate circles today, Strother (T- Bone) Martin of Michigan and Jim Cook of Yale, will vie for the import- ant first place points. Martin has already disposed of his most serious Western Conference threats, Frank Dempsey and Charlie Battermnan of Ohio State. The only blemish on the stocky Wolverine sen- ior's record is a defeat suffered at Eli Mermen Arrive Tomorrow For Saturday's Important Meet T-BONE MARTIN the hands of Howie Jaynes of North- western, a defeat which was incurred on the low board where 'Martin has had no practice this year. Cook For Yale In Cook, Martin will be meeting the toughest test of his career. The Yale springboard star placed a close sec- ond in both the National Intercolle- giates and National AAU meets last year, and his performances of the present season offer every indication that he has lost none of his spectacu- lar form. The diving, however, won't be the only highlight of the meet. Every event, from the opening 300 yard medley relay to the closing 400 yard freestyle relay, promises to be as hot- ly contested as any race ever staged in the Michigan pool. Last year, when the Maize and Blue tankers had one of their strong- est teams and when Yale was weaker, than usual, the two schools were un- able to arrange a dual meet. This year, with both teams on a more even par, the Wolverines have been re- turned to the Eli schedule. Satur- day night will tell whether or not Yale made a mistake. Elward Resigns As Coach LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 18.-(A)- Football coach Allen ii. (Mal) El- ward of Purdue University, whose team had a bad 1941 season, said to- night he was resigning to go back into the Navy, in whichlie rbecame a lieutenant, senior grade, i the last wvar. Quintet Faces Iowa On Last Western Trijp Hawkeyes' Record Best Since 1938; Chapman Is Leading Iowa Scorer Coach Bennie Oosterbaan s gasket- oal squad takes to the road tomor- row for the last time this year when it goes West to face Iowa at Iowa City on Saturday night and Chicago at Chicago Monday night. Iowa, playing with just about the same team that it did last season, has already bettered its Conference record of a year ago. The Hawkeyes have won six out of 10 battles so far in the present campaign while the best they could do in 1940 was cap- ture four games out of the 12 played. Not since 1938 has a Hawkeye ball team done that well. - Coach Rollie Williams' cagers have proven to be a second half team. In three of their six victories they have come from behind to win in the last few minutes of play. They made up a six-point deficit in the Wiscon- sin game, eight points in the Ohio State battle, and four points in the Northwestern contest last Monday night. In the Purdue game, the Hawkeyes were beliihd 29-16 at half time and then put on a rally that left them just one point short of a win. Big gun in the Iowa attack is Tom- my Chapman, who scored 21 points in the Wildcat battle. He has hit the hoop for 122 points and stands high among the Conference leaders in scoring. Although he is out of the Univer- sity Hospital and walking about, Leo Doyle, Wolverine guard, is still sport- ing a patch over his right eye, and Oosterbaan expressed doubt whether the lanky junior would be able to make the trip to Iowa and Chicago. The Maize and Blue squad went through a good two hour workout yesterday afternoon. During the practice session, Paul White, one of Fritz Crisler's outstanding sophomore gridders of last season, put on a black shirt and scrimmaged against the Varsity. 2¢n nGH AND DINIc By ART HILL INITIATES Get your "crew" military cut - to- day before they get you!

FAME IS FLEETING, someone has said, and one need only take a look at the record to prove that state- ment as true as the day is long, to coin a phrase. As a matter of fact, it's even a little harder than that because many of the athletes who achieved undy- ing fame in recent years don't even own a little corner in the record book which they can call their own. If you don't believe it, take a look at the facts contained in the follow- ing quiz. All of the "immortals" men- tioned here made their places in the sun fairly recently. Yet, we'll wager that there will be more than one you won't remember, unless you're a pretty avid fan. 1-Name the outfielder who came up from the minors in mid-season a few years back to spark his team to a pennant and world's championship. During the world's series that year, he turned in what many observers considered the greatest catch ever made in a post-season classic. In return for all this, his team-mates voted him a half share of the series swag. 2-How about that English bank clerk who was considered a cinch to break the world's record in the mile at the Princeton Invitational Tour- ney in 1938? When the event was run off, the Briton was unintentionally bumped by Blaine Rideout and fell. There was considerable fuss over the affair for a while and then the lad went back to England. 3-Name the jockey who rode more winners than any other in 1940, win- ning the crown amid reams of pub- licity on the last day of the year. A few days later, at Agua Caliente, the little jock's mount fell and he was killed. 4-And there was that infielder who paced the New York Giants to a pennant, His indomitable spirit won the affection of fans the country over and reached its peak when, after being injured, he wired the club, "They can't beat us. I'm on my way." 5-Who is the British golfer who won the British open so many times it was considered his tournament? A few years back, he played and won a 72-hole match with Olin Dutra for the world's professional champion= shin. 6-How about the boxer who upset the dope by going 15 rounds with Joe Louis when everyone predicted an early kiockout? He was the first man to go the distance with the ANSWER~S -Aui~ '2u4 MOaallupi 4UVfoX A~q 'nq 1rvqwoj ally['vpa&rv1d a "' -I II x11?9joo wj~UJJ uiO,1-8 aq4 gIIm .OJ uvl aq lQ's~uiMj pan -ina AM[LI MojfaJpOo9 at iq3 -4 'S~UIM JO441'~ Sunoja- Brown Bomber. He never fought an exceptionally good fight again and was defeated by, among others, Jim Braddock. 7-Then, we might recall the Na- tional Hockey League defenseman who was acclaimed the most valuable player in the circuit during the 1939- 40 season, just two years back. He doesn't really belong in this quiz be- cause he's not really forgotten yet. But few athletes have had as rapid a fall from the top. 8-To get back home, can you name the Michigan basketball player, who in his sophomore year, led the Wolverines in scoring? The follow- ing season, he came out for the squad but decided to give it up and devote more time to his studies. He grad- uated last June. r -------- ---- --- --- i -10AMP aasU1s 0OO3 aJuah-9 'us}j xpuoIa-t .Ua1U se SP0 SVST ssanM anon 'Mou 2uiop s aq Ieg JOJ sV 'uosaapooM xupTS- -an2aq leu0lWuJ'auI aqj u1 J41saqj;gJ IlM Mou s,aq put, aumu Sq si olddl I Auumrjf-J After Inyentory' CLEARANCE SALE Botany Ties . . . . .m79c Cooper's Wool Hose 75c values, . 2 for 1.09 50c values ., 3 for 1.09 35c values . . 4 for 1.09 8 Overcoats left, values to $35 Your Choice $21.20 Every Lover of Fine Shoes Owes Himself Ankle-Fashioned Fi tting NUNN BUSH SHOES No Qapping-No Slipping THEY FIT THE FOOT fi 14 WITH I S 0 -R S by Society Brand Commanding attention in business is done in quieter ways than bark- ing an order.
