Tt7IYAV, 3JA, 5; 1943- F4JIP RGA* D a.*lt ;, _ Wolverines Shade Spartans For Fifth Straight Win, 29-26 16 Ill Luck Dogs Mat Squad When it comes to tough luck, it's beginning to look as if Michigan's 1943 wrestling team has a corner on the market. First Old Dame Fortune deprived the Wolverine matmen of three of their mainstays, Captain Bill Court- right, Al Wistert, and Tom Coffield. To top this, the mat squad is having trouble trying to get a permanent schedule. It now appears that they will meet the Detroit YMCA next Monday, but they have already had three other dates with the Detroit club postponed. Previously the Varsity had carded the Grosse Ile Naval Air base, but they were forced to cancel this meet finally, after several post- ponements, when the Navy School re- ported it was unable to get adequate equipment for a team. ALBION WHIPS DETROIT TECH DETROI', Jan. 4. -(AM)- Albion's Methodists broke into the win column in their fourth start of the basketball season today, defeating Detroit Tech, 36 to 34. It was Tech's second setback in seven starts. Frank Vandenberg's field goal with barely a minute to play put the Methodists ahead to stay, 35 to 34. Cinder Men Make Indoor Debut in Triangular 'Meet Next Month By ERIC ZALENSKI Indoor track will make its initial 1943 appearance next month at Yost Field House when Michigan's Varsity thinclads take on Michigan State and Michigan Normal in a triangular meet. Although the meet has been tenta- tively scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 9, the date may be shifted. Coach Ken Doherty's squad is picked to repeat last season's easy triumph over these two state foes. State Innovates Relay Meet An innovation in 'Midwest track programs, the Michigan State Relays will provide the first big test for the Wolverine crew Feb. 13 at East Lan- sing. Notre Dame has already sent in its entry and Marquette and Michi- gan are expected to follow suit soon. Chicago, Northwestern and Illinois have been invited along with many of Michigan's smaller colleges. The State Relays were announced after it was learned that the Army's use of the huge armory had forced Illinois to cancel its annual Relay program. Regardless of what the Maize and Blue cindermen do in the first two meets they'll be under pressure when, I the championship Buckeyes invade the Field House for a track duel Fri- day, Feb. 26. The date may be shifted to Feb. 27. Ohio State took the crown away from Michigan in the indoor Confer- ence meet last year, and the results of this dual meet will be an indication of Michigan's chances for regaining it. Conference Meet Climaxes Season The indoor season will hit its peak at Chicago when the cream of the Big Ten's athletes gather for the an- nual Conference battle March 5-6. The Buckeyes will place their hopes for continued Conference dominance on a veteran squad led by the crack hurdler, Bob Wright. With only nine lettermen back this season, Coach Doherty has the small- est squad in many years to work with. The loss of Frank McCarthy, a hurd- ler, running broad jumper and high jumper, and Gene Hirsch, shot put- ter, will also be felt, especially in the Conference meet when place-points are vital. Michigan can count heavily on Captain Dave Matthews, crack half miler, and Bob Ufer, national indoor quarter-mile titilist, for first place points in all four meets. The squad as a whole is good, an improvement over last year, with balance on the track, and a weakness in the field events. SAILORS NIP PURDUE LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 4.- (P-)_ Great Lakes' talented cagers built up a first half lead of 21 to 14 here to- night and then withstood a driving Purdue finish to win 48 to 43 before a howling crowd of 6,500. Two quick field goals by Forrest Sprowl, former Purdue star, broke a Purdue rally at 40 to 37 but the locals came back again to reach 46 to 43 with two minutes left.

The 16 club owners of the Ameri- can and National Leagues will meet in a special emergency joint session with KeneSaw Mountain Landis, com- missioner of baseball, to hear him tell what will be expected of them in sav- ing train mileage: The session is the most important to organized baseball since 1921, when Landis quit the federal bench to re- store public confidence in the sport after the crooked World Series of 1919. The emergency meeting was called by Landis following his conference in Washington last Wednesday with -Jo- seph B. Eastman, director of 'the Of- fice of Defense Transportation. The major objective of the meeting will be unified action on curtailment of travel miles, perhaps a later open- ing of th.se eason and possibly short- ening of the schedule, and smaller squads on short trips during the sea- son.. Landis has made no announcement of his plan but some of the points al- most certain to be acted upon are: 1. 'Revision of the championship season schedule to include a cut from a standard of 154 games to 140 and a later opening date. Most of the club owners probably will hold out for the 154 game schedule but possibly will agree to opening the season April 27 instead of April 13, which would be two weeks later. 2. A drastic slash in the number of players to be taken on trips without disturbing the 25-player limit. Pos- sibly no more than 20 players would be taken on trips and those not ab- solutely needed would be left at home. 3. A unified effort by all 16 clubs to train closer to home cities and abandonment of all side exhibition trips. 4. Possible revision of the schedule to include two East-West trips rather than the three which are now in the schedule. Since 1936 the teams- have been making four East-West trips. Wolverines Hold Lead Throughout in Slow-MovingDefensive Battle a 1 1, Special to The Daily EAST LANSING, Jan. 4.- Michi- gan's unbeaten cagers stuck to their winning habits by turning back Mich- igan State, 29-26, before 6,100 at Jen- ison Field House tonight. It was the Wolverines' second win this season over the luckless Spartans and their fifth consecutive triumph of the year. The initial fracas had been all State right up to an exciting finish when 'the 'Wolverines had to come from behind to knot the score and finally win' in overtime, 36-31. Tonight, however, the Maize and Blue warriors were in no mood to risk their spotless record. They jumped into the lead at the outset and retained it throughout the slow moving contest. Wolverines Capitalize on Fouls Each team connected for 10 field goals but the difference in the score was made up at the foul line where the Wolverines outscored their State rivals, 9 to 6. The shooting was sloppy all' through: the game 'ith " the Spar- tans throwing 48 shots at the basket and the Wolverine peppering away with 40, each making good on only 10. The first half was pretty much Michigan as the victors hit the strings enough to walk off at halftime with a 15-6 advantage. However, the par- tisan crowd finally got its thrills shortly after the start of the second half when the Spartans narrowed the gap to 18-16. Ollie White, State for.- ward who paced both teams with 12 tallies, led the Spartan surge with seven of his total. Game Gets Even Slower At this point the game slowed from a walk to a mere crawl. Michigan held on doggedly and with only five min- BADGERS WIN AGAIN MADISON, Wis., Jan. 4.- (AO)- A 23-point scoring splurge by Johnny Kotz paced Wisconsin to a 41 to 37 victory over a determined Hamline quintet tonight in the Badgers' final warmup game before the opening of, the - Western Conference basketball schedule.

Each team converted a foul point and then big Fred Stone of the Spartans added another charity throw to chop the Michigan margin to a single point. Mel Comin and Leo Doyle, person- ally taking things into hand, hit the cords for five straight points to give the Wolverines a lead that was just a little more than the Spartans could overcome. Several desperate long shots by the State lads failed to clear the hoop and the hectic contest wound up in the Michigan bag, all We're Not Bragging MICHIGAN G F PF TP . .. ..,_.. . . .. te r , . i.. i ,_ CLASSIFIED RATES Non-Contract $ .40 per 15-word Insertion for one or two days.
