FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1942 THE MICHIGAN lAItL PAGE ThREE II - ° w W w w - E. t: 4 4 kS PORTFOLIO 4 0 The 'Bestest' Of The Best * Track First On Card 4 By HAL WILSON Daily Sports Editor W ORSHIPPERS before the shrine' of the great god Split Second to- day swing into what may be termed without too much exaggeration the finest dual meet weekend in Michi- gan athletic history. In the short space of some 26 hours the two finest collegiate swimming teams in the nation and two of the three most powerful track squads in the Midwest---perhaps in the entire country exclusive of California-will parade their vast talents in local arenas. For weeks the Wolverine swim- ming pool bulletin board has her- alded the Impending clash with Yale's tank dynamo of the East, Innumerable clippings from East- ern papers have shoved the sensa- tional Bulldog times before Wol- verine eyes day after day. Every 24 hours a huge chalk mark crypti- cally ticking off the days before the nation's number one natatorial at- traction has been changed. Today it says simply, "ONE," but it car- ries a world of significance for the deadly serious, almost grim Maize and Blue natators. FOR WEEKS Michigan's track coach Ken Dohertyhas been dop- ing the Notre Dame cinder clash, adding a point here, shifting one there. But he'always gets almost the same result-Notre Dame by a very slight margin on paper. Ken has been connected with track here at Michigan for a long time. Of tonight's Irish clash Ken declares unequivocally: "It should be the greatest track meet ever staged in the Field House." The last time we heard Doherty make a statement like that Pittsburgh snapped Michigan's con- secutive dual meet string of 23 straight victories in their 1940 out- door engagement in a 67-64 thriller. BECAUSE of the space-grabbing machinations of the business staff, this forthcoming prediction can't be backed up by cold reason. There is insufficient room. It will have to be backed up by the deeds of Wolverine cindermen tonight. Notre Dame gets the pre-meet nod on the dope sheets. But the clash won't be won on paper. The Irish have the stars-some of the na- tion's most outstanding-plus fair reserve strength. Michigan has a few aces in their specialties plus a wealth of second- ary power. Our choice tonight: The latter combination by two points. Sextet Meets TigersToday Michigan To Start Dance, Kemp On Front Line (Continued from Page 1) be prepared to throw in his other bunch which includes defensemen Chick Ross and Harold McLay, wing- men Roland Minette and George Ewanus and big Spike Wilson at cen- ter. Bob Scarlett, playing his third year as a Tiger regular, will be in the nets at all times. He will probably be the best goalie the Wolverines have faced this season. Coach Eddie Lowrey's starting six; is still a uncertainty. But since he is only bringing 10 pucksters to meet Colorado, he will probably start the same team which faced the Paris A.C. last Saturday in Ann Arbor. On the front line will probably be Bill Dance, Roy Bradley and Bob Kemp. Plugging up the defense will be John- ny Gillis and Ed Reichert. Hank Loud will carry on in the nets. If Michigan has finished 'licking wounds from previous beatings, the two games here should turn into at least 120 minutes of hard fought hockey. Colorado is primed for the two scraps, and the beautiful Ice Palace should be packed both nights. Last year these same two teams played an exciting series, Colorado winning one and tieing the other. Tomorrow and Saturday night, the Tigers will battle to retain their advantage over their Midwestern rival, while Michigan will try to climb out of the hole which has held them for two months. Michigan Battles Irish In Track Meet Today Greatest Galaxy Of Midwest Thinclads To Compete . In Opening Indoor Clash; Records May Fall Here is the new Army eyesight test. All those able to find this wrestling story are henceforth 1-A on vision. The terse news being that at noon today Cliff Keen and company hit the road for Bloomington. where to- morrow night they meet an Indiana. team which is being highly praised when described as merely unimpres- sive. That thing happened to theE Hoosiers also between semesters and now they have only one man left they can talk large about. He is Harry Traster, but Harry is a 175 pounder and so is our Capt. Jim Galles, The idea is simple to grasp. A Wol- verine victory will not be billed as an upset win. (Continued from Page 1) this season. Maloney's 9:40 is also better than any two-mile time turned in by a Wolverine up to date. Thomas and sophomore Chuck Pinney are classed with Notre Dame's Dillon as three of the best low hurdlers in the Midwest. Thomas has topped the 65-yard lows in 7.4, while Pinney and Dillon have marks of 7.5. Oregon's Les Steers is unquestionably the country's greatest high jump- er. Second only to Steers is Keith O'Rourke, Notre Dame ace, who boasts a jump of 6 feet 8 inches. 'The Irish also claim the Midwest's leading shot put- ter in Big Jim Delaney who has tossed the 16-pound iron "apple" 51 feet 3 inches. Wolverines' George Os- -____ _-- -- f/c~o~',~.

Michigan Coach Ken Doherty, looking over the list of Field House and r dual meet records yetserday afternoon, predicted that there would be some new entries in both books. Field House marks expected to topple include long-striding Johnny Woodruff's 49.1 in the quarter. The Pittsburgh ace set it in 1937. Thomas may be pushed hard enough to snap his own mark of 7.4 in the 65-yard low hurdles. Bill Watson's toss of 51 feet 512 inches in the shot put and Don Canham's leap of 6 feet 6% inches in the high jump are not too secure either. The Irish one-mile relay quartet clicked off a brilliant 3:21 on the 11- lap Madison Square Garden track 'during the Millrose Games recently and might snap Michigan's 1941 record of 3:19.7. The Irishmen have been clocked in 3:19.4 this year, only four-tenths off the Field House rec- ord. Four dual records which may be crossed from the books include Wat- son's toss of 51 feet 2% inches in the shot put, Michigan's one-mile relay mark of 3:22, Faulkner's time of 50 in the quarter and Hogan's 1:57 in the 880-yard run. Field trials will start promptly at 7:15 and the first running event, the mile, begins at 7:30. The fraternity relay championships will be run off during the meet. Cagers Depart For Iowa Tilt Michigan Out To Avenge Early Season Defeat Ten Varsity cagers with revenge in their eyes depart at 9:14 a.m. today for Iowa City where they face Iowa's up-and-coming quintet, currently tied for fourth place in the Confer- ence standings. And it is with good news that the Wolverines leave Ann Arbor to avenge their early-season 40-34 loss at the hands of the Hawkeyes. Late yesterday afternoon Leo Doyle, junior guard, who suffered an eye injury in the Michigan State game last week, received the doctor's permission to mnake the trip. During practice, the lanky Wolver- ine, still sporting dark glasses, took a light workout by tossing free throws and taking numerous long shots at the basket to sharpen his accuracy. John Logan, Indiana forward, was released from the Health Service yes- terday and then came down to Yost Field House to take part in the after- noon's practice session. The cagers chosen to make the trip include Capt. Bill Cartmill, Mandler, Doyle, Mel Comin, Don Hol- man, Morrie Bikoff, Bill MacCon- nachie, Bob Antel, Bob Shemky and Wally Spreen. Yale Favored Over Natatory In Meet Here By BUD HENDEL Capt. Dobby Burton had the floor. "We'll give 'em h - --1," he stated emphatically. "They're stronger than we are on paper,-but, believe me, they'll know they've been in a battle when it's all over." Thus did the popular little Michi- gan leader express the sentiment of the great Wolverine swimming team which will meet Yale's power-laden aggregation here tomorrow night. Definite underdogs, the Maize and Blue tankers aren't conceding a thing to the lightning Eli paddlers. And here's the way the two crews stack up on paper. The Bulldogs have the better times in almost every event, but the Wolverines have the greatest record of any team in his- tory for coming through when the chips are down. 300 Yard Medley Relay: Anybody's race. The New Haven trio of Danny Dannenbaum, Thurston Twigg- Smith, and Howie Johnson have cov- ered the course in 2:55.8, while Mich- igan's Dick Reidl, Jim Skinner, and Gus Sharemet hold a 2:59.1 timing. Yale may use Ed Pope in place of Johnson. 220 Yard Freestyle: Should be one of the best races of the year. It's that Johnson guy again, this time hitting the water with a 2:10.9 time to his credit. Michigan's Johnny Patten has done 2:11.5 but hasn't been pressed. Rene Chouteau of Yale also will be entered, a mere 2:11.4 swimmer. Johnson is national chan)p, but Pat- ten is the brightest prospect in the country. S50 Yard Freestyle: Captain Burton vs. Jack Pulleyne. The latter has a 23.8 on the books, while the Wolver- ine leader is just hitting his peak. Fancy Diving: Brings together the nation's two best, T-Bone Martin of Michigan and Jim Cook of Yale. Need more be said? 100 Yard Freestyle: The waters may blaze on this one. Johnson, fresh from a 51 seconds flat per- formance, meeting Gus Ssharemet and Burton. Johnson an overwhelm- ing favorite, but here's a tip, the Great Gusto is looking more like him- self these days. 150 Yard Backstroke: One of the evening's best, with Reidl facing Dannenbaum. The latter holds the time edge, but Reidl is in the best shape of his life, 200 Yard Breaststroke: Jim Skin- ner need not fear anybody in the country except Twigg-Smith and Johnny Meyer. But Skinner holds the national championship by virtue of beating these men, and he should do it again. 440 Yard Freestyle: Chouteau and Patten again. Patten has a 4:55.1 on his performance chart which will spell plenty of trouble for the Eli Frenchman, despite the latter's 4:51.5 mark. 400 Yard Freestyle Relay: A big edge to Yale on this one. The Bulldog quartet of Johnson, Kelly, Lilley and, Pope set a new world's record of 3:26.6 last week, nine full seconds better than Michigan's Burton, Kivi, Patten and Sharemet have done. That's the way they'll lilt the water. The only thing you can be sure of is that they'll come out wet.
