In the Maize and Blue contests at Minneapolis several weeks ago he was the bulwark of the Minnesota offense and defense. Time and again, the plucky Gopher center outraced the Michigan forwards to come in on goalie Hank Loud for easy shots. Next to Arnold, the most feared man in the Minnesota lineup is Capt. Al Aggleton, one of the best stick handlers ever to don a Maroon and Gold uniform. Hockey experts con-J sider Aggleton and Arnold as one of the greatest scoring pairs in collegi- ate hockey. Lowrey is counting heavily on Capt. Paul Goldsmith. The towering Wol- verine center played his best hockey of the year last week against the Colorado Tigers and has been looking good in practice all week. Michigan hockey teams tradition- ally play over their heads against Minnesota and tonight should be no exception. Goldsmith said yesterday, "It's a real pleasure to whip those Gophers, so I think we're going out there and have some pleasure." Lowrey is revamping his lineup in an effort to assure a Wolverine vic- tory. He will send Bob Kemp and Max Bahrych into the starting for- ward line with Goldsmith at center. This tiio will be supported by Johnny Gillis and Ed Reichard at the de- fense positions while Hank Loud will carry out his usual dependable job in the nets. - . * I PORTFOLIO4 0 The Whole Dann Business 0 Weber And Revolvers By HAL WILSON S '-Daily Sports Editor /I THERE'S A GUY going to school I up at Michigan State College in East Lansing. That's okay by us, of course, for lots of other fellows have made the same mistake. But this one is different. He is brazenly capitalizing on the famous old surname of Dann-a name immortalized in journalistic circles by the two Dann boys on the Michigan Daily, Myon and Alvin. The guy cashing in on their reputation up in Spartan country is Marshall Dann. That's the first count against him. BORN at the early age of five years, Marsh has never exactly re- covered. He is now a sports writer, you see. That's the second indict- ment. Marshall worked for a while on the Free Press until the winter quarter at State when he reentered school and became sports editor of the Michigan State News. But the third, and far most seri- ous, charge against Marsh is that he is nothing more than a type- writer athlete. Mention was made recently of a revival of the classic old athletic rivalry between the Ann Arbor sports correspondents and the East Lansing ditto. In fact, it was more than a mere MENTION of resumption of hostili- ties. It was a direct challenge from the former to the latter. AT THE RISK of boring whatever readers The Daily may have rounded up this morning, here is a direct quotation of the historic ulti- matum flung down to the Statemen. ANN ARBOR SPORTS WRIT- ERS' ASS'N: "How about a test of skill on the hardwoods between a crack quintet we can round up and whatever motley crew you can get?" MARSHALL DANN: "Let's make it spaget and beer at twenty paces instead." A.A.S.W.A.: "If basketball is too strenuous for you, then name your own sports-track, softball, swim- ming or necatoes." M.D.:"Spaget and beer." AND THUS the matter now stands. Our Daily sports staff basketball team, easy victors over the edits, aug- mented by Paul Chandler and Vic Reed, local correspondents, is casting about foreign fields for new victims. From that barren land 58 miles north and west of here comes only that monotonous chant: "Spaget and beer." Your move now, Mr. Dann. SPORTS HASH: Wally Weber, freshman football coach and scout de luxe, likes to tell of the time he was a desk sergeant in the police force at Mt. Clemens . . . perhaps impressed with his own importance, one day Wally propped his feet on tle desk, leaned back and twirled his gun around his index finger a la Hollywood . . . the gun shot off, sending a bullet through the wall . . . and Wallie hastily shoved a cal- endar over the hole. Minnesota's football guard and National Collegiate heavyweight wrestling champion, Butch Levy, has incurred a foot injury ending his mat career . . . this increases Al Wistert's chances to sneak into the Conference title class . . . while appearing at a banquet in Lansing some time back, Merv I Pregulman was thrown for a loss by dozens of young autograph seekers. WRESTLING Coach Cliff Keen re- ceived some material from a Chi- cago hotel soliciting his patronage by the time the Conference cham- pionships roll around in two and a half weeks . . . its effect was some- what lessened, though, by the ad- dress which read: "Mr. Clifford Keen University of Michigan Rifle Team Coach." Cinder Squad To Face Weak Panthers Here Bob Ufer Ready To Crack 440 Record; Michigan Made Heavy Favorite By BOB STAHL Embodying little of the ferocity and very little of the growl which their name implies, the Pitt Panthers will invade Yost Field House tomor- row night for a dual meet with the strong Wolverirne cinder squad which has swept its fAst two meets of the season in impressive style. Already the victims of several set- backs this year, the worst of which was a 76-28 lacing handed them by Ohio State two weeks ago, the Pan- thers are expected to afford the Michigan squad little more than a warm-up for the more important Western Conference meet next week. From comparative records of the best times turned in by both teams this season, the only events in which Pitt might score a win over the Wolver- ines are the 60 yard dash, the low hurdles and the pole vault. Pitt Boasts Stars Even with Michigan favored so heavily over the Panthers, the rosters of both squads include several stars who are potentially capable of break- ing the existing meet records, and if the Wolverines are forced enough by Pitt's runners, it is very likely that tomorrow night will see several marks fall by the wayside. Bobby Ufer, Michigan's ace quar- ter-miler, who holds the distinction of having run the fastest 440 yards in Wolverine Varsity competition, has given indication that he will be out to take a crack at the 440 record of 49.1 seconds. This mark, set byI Pitt's Johnny Woodruff in 1937, is also the Field House record. Ufer Still Best Already acclaimed as probably the best quarter-miler in the Conference this year, Ufer ran his favorite dis- tance in the phenomenal time of 48.8 seconds in Michigan's first meet at East Lansing two weeks ago. In the Notre Dame meet last Friday night, the speedy Wolverine held back in the open quarter-mile run, knowing that he would have to an- chor the mile relay team later in the evening, but still turned in a time only one-tenth of a second slower than the Field House mark. Pitt's relay team does not offer the Wolverines as much of a threat as did that of the Irish, so that Ufer will probably go all-out in the 440- yard event tomorrow night. The only thing that seems likely to prevent the quarter-mile king from setting a new meet and Field House record is the fact that he may not be pressed enough by the other runners in the event to force him to run his fastest time. "Beat the Phi Delts" is the cry which is going around these days. And twice in two days the Phi Delts have been nosed out for top honors. In the Inter-Fraternity Relays they were pushed into fourth place behind Chi Psi, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Then on Thursday night they were beaten by Phi Kappa Psi. 3-0. in the water polo final. It was a doubly sweet victory for PKPsi as the same Phi Delts had previously trimmed them by 15 points in the finals of the dual swimming. Jim Edwards and Bill Sessions scored all the winners' points. Though edged out of two firsts the PDTs are doing pretty well for themselves in the all-year point standings as is seen below. With eight sport completed they are as follows:; Phi Delta Theta. .......... 6211 Chi Phi .................. 546 Sigma Phi Epsilon ..,.. ... Sigma Chi.............. Phi Gamma Delta......... Delta Tau Delta........... Phi Kappa Psi........... Beta Theta Pi ............ Zeta Beta Tau ............ Kappa Sigma............ 506 502 464 444 423 415 391 391 Turning to an all-campus event, handball, we find Ray Snyder the new champion by virtue of a decisive 21-10, 21-5 victory over Jerry Fried- man in the final. Earlier Snyder defeated Mel Silver, the fraternity champion, by a similar score. Meanwhile, over in the Residence Halls League, the handball cham- pionship race has narrowed down to two teams, Fletcher Hall (23-4) and < Winchell House (19-2). The team which can finish with the higher percentage will be declared winner. Still The Best Phi Delts Lose Twice; Still Lead 1' i THE PROBABLE Michigan Pos.

UA Matmen Finish Big Ten Trials This Saturday, By HOE SELTZER Last Saturday the Varsity matmen beat Indiana, 25-13. This Saturday they meet Ohio State at Columbus. This will conclude the home crowd's test runs in preparation for the Con- ference meet on March 13-14. And to come straight out with it, they won't have proved a thing. Indiana and Ohio State are two of the season's feeblest aspirants for the Big Ten wrestling crown. Iowa is pre-doped to cop the trophy, Min- nesota is a powerful defending cham- pion, Purdue and Illinois are both tearing through their schedules in high gear. But the Hoosiers and the Buckeyes are each having their troubles, and to shade things fine it would appear that the latter is even the frailer of the two inasmuch as its win column remains a very blank one after four meets. The Buckeyes registered their most creditable showing against Michigan State when they bowed. by a 19-11 count. Which score may not seem too much like the hairline decision variety, but two of the matches were decided by a single point. Jim Bradfield at 175 pounds ap- pears to be the steadiest performer for the Ohioans. He has won twice and pinned the Spartans' Frank Fos- ter when they met. Another pretty adept Buckeye performer is welter- weight Joe Stora, who likewise has racked up a brace of victories. Cliff Keen looks for some pretty rough going in the lighter weights Saturday evening. Bruce Kesselring at 121 pounds gave Michigan State's Herbie Thompson a good going over before being nosed out 7-6. Davey Jones' won and lost record in his 128 pound scraps isn't exactly terrific but he's been dropping close ones and it is no secret that this weight brack- et on the Michigan squad is not ex- actly overmanned. And, finally, lightweight Keith Wolfe is expected to be a pretty dangerous duker against whom Ray Deane can do no playing around. BOB UFER .may better Wooruff's time Cagers Meet Ru ged Frosh In, Sc rimm1flge By BOB S1IOPOFF Assistant Coach Ernie McCoy, who is currently pulling the strings be- hind the Michigan basketball team, sent his Varsity crew up against the rugged Maize and Blue freshman squad yesterday afternoon and found out that the Varsity could get a good workout this way. The lineups of both teams were juggled frequently as every man on both squads saw action and after a slow start, McCoy's squad overpow- ered the yearlings to the tune of 63 to 48. At the end of the first quar- ter the frosh had run up a 21 to 12 lead, but the Varsity came back and was ahead 31 to 28 at the half. The lead changed hands several times in the last half, but in the closing min- utes McCoy's reserves got hot to run up its substantial margin of victory. Mikulich Stands Out Standouts on the freshman team were Bill Mikulich, Bob Wiese, Walt Pipp and Don Lund. Mikulich tied Mel Commn of the Varsity for scor- ing honors as they both dropped in 12 points. Wiese and Pipp scored five and four points, respectively, while Lund turned in some fine defensive work by holding Comin down as Big Mel was hot. Wally Spreen, who has been seeing quite a bit of action lately at forward for the Varsity, showed signs of improvement as he flipped in four baskets. Last Two Games Michigan will play its last two games of the 1942 season this week- end as they face the hopeless Chi- cago five Saturday night and the powerful Purdue squad on Monday night. Both games will be played at Yost Field House. Coach McCoy is ex- pecting little trouble from the Ma- roons on Saturday eve as last Mon- day the Wolverines easily defeated them, 61 to 37. McCoy, who will probably close the season as chief guesser for the Wolverines since Coach Bennie Oosterbaan is still in Tucson, Ariz., said that the Windy City five had plenty of shots at the basket Monday, but that they just didn't have the touch. Purdue Appoints Coach LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 25.-(P)- Guy (Red) Mackey and Elmer Burn- ham today were appointed athletic director and head football coach, re- spectively, at Purdue University. MANNER, 11 NEW SU ITS FOR MEN STYLED IN THE TEEiIN -BLOCHI Riedl Shows Power - Swims His Best- time -t By BUD LOW One thing, if nothing else, wa brought to light in Yale's overwhelm ing defeat of Michigan last Saturda night-senior Dick Riedl is definite' an improved swimmer. Swimming against the Eli's Dann Dannenbaum, who placed second i the National Collegiates last yea Riedl swam the fastest race of h life Saturday. His time of 1:38 fla bettered by six-tenths of a secon his best previous clocking which h did during his sophomore year whe he won over Iowa's captain and ac backstroker, Al Armbruster. . Despite the fact that last seaso and the previous campaign Dick wa somewhat overshadowed by Bi Beebe and Frannie Heydt, he sti managed to take a second in the Con ference meet last year, and a thir the year before. In his races to date this season Dick has beaten Mark Follansbe once and the Ohio State star sopho more likewise can boast of a victor over the Wolverine. At Columbus o Feb. 11, Riedl edged Follansbee i his specialty by doing 1:39.1, his bes as 1- ly ly ly n 4r, is at id ze n ce ll ill -5 in DBu icog Defeat time this season previous to last weeks' performance. Dick will have his chance to show that he is the best backstroker in the Big Ten when he again faces Foll- ansbee in the Conference meet here on March 13 and 14. Two weeks later he will come up against the best that the country has to offer in the National Collegiates at Harvard. It is then that the varsity backstroker is determined to give Dannenbaum the race of his career. The Bulldog ace pulled ahead in the last lap Sat- urday night and Dick is resolved to even the score.
