-- TAKING ITFA C.SY- Boilermak~ers Beat Michigan P ---------- fly El) ZALENSKI Deity Sports Editor lichigerr's Mr. " T'ilor tron.I It is regretable that our initial col- umn on this page has to be a eulogy for Iarry A. Tillotson. Officially he was business manager of the Uni- versity of Michigan Athletic Asso- ciation. But he became widely known through his activities as football tick- et manager. Our regrets are for his loss which necessitates a resume of his 23-year record of service. No man can serve a master for such a long period of time as faithfully and skillfully as Mr. J'illotson did without making that gap he left appear noticeably wide. 'An Irreparrable loss' Fritz Crisler, Wolverine grid men- tor since 1935, summarized the gen- ral sentiment of University athletic authorities and coaches when he de- :lared the loss of the good-natured ticket genius was "irreparable." "He can't be replaced, Crisler asserted. "His 23 years of service will be difficult to duplicate. Where could you find a man like him now. He took to his job naturally. And he had more than his share of headaches since 1920, but I have never seen him flustered or ruffled. His loss is irreparable," Crisler de- clared. Although he was only 57 years old, Mr. Tillotson began his business ca- °eer s an employe of a New York _ity importing firm, winding up in knn Arbor with the Michigan Central railroad as ticket agent in 1914 just before the outbreak of World War I: His appointment as business manager was made by Phil Bar- telne, University director of ath- letis .from 1910 to 1920. Back in those gay post-war days, Mr. Til- lotson was situated in what is now the Ann Arbor Press building. Uni- versity administration of athletics was directed from there at that time. SPRUCE UP! For all occasions with a scalp treat- ment for dandruff, itchy scalp, fall- ing hair. Be It a "Personality" style or a "Military Crew." The DASCOA BARBERS !Between Statc and Mich. Theatres Michigan's grand old man, Fielding H. Yost, knew Mr. Tillotson as well as any other member of the athletic staff, and r'eferred to him as the University's greatest exponent of goodwill. 'A Shack Absorber' Leaning back in his swivel chair with a dreamy look in his eyes Yost bridged the span of 23 years when he first became associated with Mr. Tillotson. "Naturally, long asso- ciation with hir has made me real- ize that he was in reality a 'shock absorber.' I had never seen him ruffled or excited. It was up to him to keep the goodwill of the ticket-seeking public, add to it and develop it. And he did. People us- ually don't know how tickets are allotted and their demands are sometimes impossible. It is impos- sible to replace a man who had worked so willingly and who co- operated so well." Our acquaintance with Mr. Til~ lotson was limited to several short sessions, but we know him to be a square-shooter, a conscientious man and. a friend to every, student, alum- nus and ticket-purchaser with whom he came in contact. 'Perpetual Headache' His job was "a perpetual head- ache" but he took it in stride. They mobbed him with telegrams on trains, during vacations, at bridge, at the dinner table. They woke him up in the middle of the night to beg for tickets on the 50-yard line. Every alumnus in the country wanted a 50-yard line ticket and some how Mr. Tillotson satisfied their demands. He was the students' best friend. It was his constant efforts that re- sulted in the present ticket-dispens- ing basis for University students. Ev- ery ticket transaction of his was strictly above board. That was his only method of business. LANTERN NOTE: For Ohio State' Pucksters Weak for' Minnesota By WALT KLEE After watching the Wolverine puck- men absorb a 7-2 drubbing at the hands of a 'not too powerful Paris A.C. sextet, things look pretty black for the Michigan cause in this week's two tilts with the Minnesota Gophers here Thursday and Saturday. The loss of the three men on the first line, due to graduation and in- eligibility, has taken away most of the, experienced players from the squad. 'Threremains a 'fair start- ing combination, with almost no re- placements with any experience in actual games. Opland Uncertain The status of center Bob Opland is not yet definite and there still is a ba e chance that he may return to the ice in time to face the Norsemen on Thursday night. Until last Saturday night things. were moving along fairly smoothly for Eddie Lowrey's boys. Opland was be- ginning to show signs of becoming the most sentational stickman that skated for the Maize and Blue in many years. But; after the graduation of Bob Kemp and Ed Reichert, and the loss of Opland, Lowrey was faiced with the impossible task of forming an en- tire new front line from mediocre ma- terial. New Line Has Power This combination of Bill Dance at center and Roy Bradley and Gordon Anderson played well in the Paris tilt. In fact for two periods they played so well they outplayed the Canadian lines; but in the third period they just couldn't keep pace with the more numerous visitors and completely fell apart. This line can be counted on for a goal or two in each game this week. But here the Wolverine power stops. The second line is made up of two men who never played .hockey before, and {a third who has more spirit and fight than ability. It was against this line that Paris scored four of its seven goals. And this line can't possibly Gets Chance W~1verines Drop Fourth Straight Big Ten Game Ehlers Makes Ten Points To Lead Scoring; Shoddy Play Features Slow Moving Game a.- ROY BRADLEY ... Who'll start as wing on the first line, moving up to take Bob Kemp's place. improve enough to be a real scoring threat for at least two or three more weeks. The only ray of sunshine in a sky filled with black, ominous clouds is- the much improved play of Miehigan defensemen Bob Derleth and Bob Stenberg. These two played sixty, minutes of bangup defensive hockey on Saturday, in addition to making many forays with the puck deep down into Canadian ice. After the game, Saturday, Coach Lowrey said; "We could give up; but as I have six men who can stand up on skates, Michigan will have a team that is doing its best." Illini Down Gophers MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 15.- (R)- In a game that proved to be a personal scoring triumph for Illinois' great star, Andy Phillip,, Illinois defeated Minnesota tonight, 67 to 43, and thereby took over the Big Ten basket- ball leadership as Wisconsin defeated the hitherto unbeaten Indiana team. By DON SWANINGER Taking a decisive lead late in the first half,jPurdue University's Boiler- makers took the first of a two-game series from a ragged Michigan quin- tet in the Yost Field House last night, 33-27. It was the Wolverines' fourth straight Big Ten loss. The big question of the evening was which was the "colder"-the weather or the Wolverines, and those; who appreciate good. ball handling, and accurate shooting will insist that the weather, sub-zero as it was, never, had a fighting chance. Michigan just couldn't click. Ehlers Opens Scoring Scoring opened up with Ed. Ehlers., slippery Boilermaker guard and highs scorer for the evening, breaking through to drop in the first two of his ten- points. Jim Mandler, came' right ,back to' get the equalizer 'for the Wolverines, and after John Ken- nedy-had looped in a free-throw, Leo Doyle ,hit the 'bucket to again put the Maize and Blue in front. During the -next _five minutes. the lead see- sawed back and forth with Mandler finally hitting to put Michigan on top, Q,-7.... Such a-. lead was destined to be short-lived, however. After a lull of some five minutes,.during.which both teams gave a masterful exhibition of how not to scorer the Purdue squad broke loose with a flurry of baskets: that netted .them 13 points and a nine pointlead as they held the fad- ing Wolverines to a single free throw in that time. They held a 20-11 mar- gin at the half. Michigan Rallies In the 'second, half it '.was no' df-f ferent. For a few minutes it'looked as if it might be, as Michigan, helped by baskets by Dave" Strack and Bob- Wiese,:.pulled to within four 'points of the. Boilexrmakes, but the spurt soon died out, and the visitors, play- Well, It .Was Close! I ing deliberate basketball and care- fully picking their opportunities, eas- ily held on to a six point lead. Key to the victory was the fact that the Purdue squad was a little too ef- fective at the foul line. The visitors, although they could sink only 10 field goals to the Wolverines 11, dropped in 13 free tosses to the latter's five. Neither team, however, looked wor- thy of the name of a Big Ten squad. The visitors bore no- resemblance to other Purdue fives that have invaded the Field House in past years. They took 60 shots on the basket and con- nected with but 10 of them, while Michigan took 58 shots in bagging their 11 field goals.; Purdue at times cooked as if it was doing its best to lose, but it was no use. Michigan was too big an assignment. Tonight the two squads will :engage in the second of their two-game se- ries. 'ThincOAdS Loom As Ch'olice f'or' Big ,Ten crown A Michigan track team that cap- tured seven first places last Saturday at the. Spartan Relay Carnival in East Lansing. with a great display of running power looked like the outfit to beat in the 1943 indoor Conference meet at Chicago, III., March 5-6. Undoubtedly the 'running of Bob Ufer was the finest individual exhibi- tion ever seen at East Lansing. Com- menting " on Ufer's performances Coach Ken Doherty said; "His run- ning was as great as any I have ever seen by a middle distance man in one evening." Ufer in Rare Form The Wolverine's national indoor 440-king opened with a mark of 31.4 seconds,;in, the 300-yard dash, just two-tenths: of a second short of the world. record made on a larger track;. his 1:55.1 in the winning spring med- ley relay broke his own Varsity record of 1:55.3; and his 49.1 quarter in the winning mile relay speaks for itself. Doherty got his biggest surprise when the shuttle hurdle quartet whipped through the 240 yards in 31.1 for a new Carnival record, and more than a second better than the best time turned in by the team in trials. Six Do 'Best' Job Best times were turned{ in by John Ingersoll with a 1:57.8 for his half- mile jaunt in the two-mile relay; Bob Hume,'was. clocked in 4:27.1 for his mile of the distanrce medley relay; Jim Sears clicked off~a 50.5-second quar- ter in 'the 'mile relay and Captain Dave Matthews followed with a 50.5- second 440. Of the Frosh medley run- ners Bob Nussbaumer's 220-yard dash im 23.4 and Dick Hall's 880 in 2:00.8 were best performances to date. - Return Match . 1 War Bonds Issued Here! jANN ARBO SNIWSET T-EAThE., Continuous from 1 P. M NOW PLAYI NG r. By JOE McHALE Fresh from a successful invasion Qf Iowa, where they bettered two NCAA and two Big Ten records in beating' the Hawkeyes, 62-22, the Wolverine swimming tWm is all set for a week of practicing twice 'a day in prepara- tion for the last dual meet of the season, a return thriller with Ohio State this Saturday at Columbus. ThetOhio State Lantern, already heralding a Buckeye victory by about four points in this second contest, well might take heed of the perfor- mance turned in by the Maize and Blue mermen last Saturday night. True it is that the Bucks were with- out the services of their captain and ace backstroker, Mark Follansbee, in the first Michigan-Ohio contest. But even Follansbee, Big Ten champ, stands an insignificant chance of de- feating the Michigan. sophomore sen- sation, Harry Holiday. Still Breaking Records Holiday, swimming in an unortho- dox 20-yard pool, managed to nego- tiate the 150-yard distance in 1:30.9, bettering existing Collegiate and Con- ference marks. He was also clocked unofficially in 56.7 seconds for 100 yards during the medley relay. This time is half a second better than Adolf Kiefer's accepted standard. The medley relay trio of Holiday, Pat Hayes and Captain Johnny Pat- ten continued on its record-breaking way as it turned in a time of 2:51.1, three seconds faster than the NCAA and Big Ten marks. In swimming a 2:54.3 race to open the last Buckeye affair, this same trio finished far ahead of the Buck squad.. Other races won by the Mattmen in faster time than the winning ef- forts in the' Ohio contest, were the 400-yard freestyle relay, the 100-yard freestyle, and the 200-yard breast- stroke. And the Lantern claims that Ohio State's improvement will win this week's dual contest!
