4 v tlll', II C:. 1'7, 1J 1.: Ch 11 D 1L PACE TIMER Track Meet Ends Basketball Squad Has Long Drill; Civ Set for Western Michigan Game Fir Tonight;_CagersPlay Here Tomorrow ilians Take st Events To in Early Lead !s4 V i By DAVE LOEWENBERG The Maize and Blue cagers had their last hard workout of the week in preparation for tomorrow night's game against the rampaging West- ern Michigan Broncos. Per usual, the squad was divided into two teams, the Reds and Whites. The Whites won the fracas 18-16 but were hard pressed in doing so. Starting for the victors were Wayne Thompson and Dave Strack, for- wards; Bill Seymour, center, and Dick Shrider and Don Lund, guards. This unit will probably compose the starting lineup against Western Mich- igan. The Whites looked better yesterday than they have all week. The rea- son' for this is that the Red team showed great improvement over pre- vious performances ad kept right on the heels of the first stringers throughout the scrimmage. Thompson Starts To Click Wayne Thompson topped the White scorers with eight points. "Tommy" was hitting nicely on a one-handed shot from the free throw circle. He undoubtedly has one of the finest one-handed shots seen here at Mich- igan in a long time and Saturday night would be an ideal time for "Tommy" to begin hitting his stride. So far this season, Thompsonuhas not been playing up to his usual standard, but now that he's acclim- ated himself to the Wolverine style of attack, a quick return to form should be noted in Wayne Thompson. Strack Consistent Closely following Thompson in points scored was Dave Strack with six points. Strack played his usual consistert game and with the 1943-44 basketb;l season just getting under- way, an outstanding season should be -enjoyed by Strack, if he continues to display the same brand of basket- ball he's been showing so far. Representing the Reds, were Bruce lilkene and Bob Wiese at forwards, Rex Wells, center, and John Leddy and Elroy Hirsch at the guards. High point man for the Reds was Rex Wells who accountedfor one- half of his team's 16 points. Wells' specialty is a one-handed overhead pivot shot which he throws from the free throw circle. This shot is almost impossible to stop, and if Wells con- tinues to hit with it, the opposition will really have something to worry about. Service Stars Clash in Final Intramural Tilt Gal I ,3 f . C c i 7 To highlight the intramural pro- grams of the Army and Navy, an All Star Army team meets an All Star. Navy team at 7:45 tonight at Yost Field house. Both the Army and the Navy have chosen their squad members from the teams which play every Friday night in the intramural tournaments. The Navy team which is a combin- ation of all the teams entered in the regular intramural games, has been working out this past week under the careful eye of Chief Specialist (A) George A. Nash who is the coach of the squad. His probable starting line- up will be Willoughby and Halub at Sforwards, Shortgatcenter, and Dean and Hansen at guards.The complete line-up of Navy players includes for- wards Mansour, and Van Aken, Ros- enbach and Fate, centers, and guards Clauss, mpskie, and Taylor. After winning the Army's elimina- tion tournament team one of Com.- pany E won the right to form the nu- cleus of the All Star team. Company E's team Is supplemented by players from other teams in the league. The starting line-up for the All Star Army team is Davis and Oliver at forwards, Parker and Sartorio at the guard po- sitions, and Linde playing the cen- ter position. Sergeant Parker, who manages and coaches Company B's team, is the coach for the All Star squad too. The referees for the game are Mas- ter Sergeant< Robert Clancy of Sta- tion Compliment and 'Chief Special- ist (A) George A.' McAfee. Both the Army and Navy bands will be on hand to provide entertainment for the event. The general public is invited and any Army man who wish- es to attend the game can get special permission by contacting his com- pany commander. i By BO BOWMAN The civilians got off to an early lead in the intra-squad track meet yesterday afternoon with victories in both the quarter and half-mile events. Bob Ufer won the quarter-mile, closely followed by Bill Matney. Both of these boys are civilians. Jim Pierce and Mel Detwhiler took third and fourth place respectively for the Na- vy. Ufer's winning time was 50.8 se- conds, excellent for so early in the season. The half-mile finished in a dead heat between the Hume twins, Bob and Ross, and John Roxborough. Dick Barnard took fourth place for the Navy. The time was 2:01.5, somewhat higher than Coach Ken Doherty had expected. Hurdles Held Yesterday Preliminaries and semi-finals in the high hurdles were also held yes- terday. Elmer Swanson, Vic Znorski, and Bob Caspari qualified for the Marines, Sheldon Kavieff and Rob- erts for the Navy and Bud Low for the civilians. The best time turned in during the course of the afternoon was by Kavieff, 8.9 seconds. At the completion of two events the civilians now have garnered 18 points to four for the Navy and zero for the Marines. Meet Not Over The meet is not over by any means as the civilians were expected to get off to an early lead with victories in the middle distance events. The ser- vice teams are expected to pick up the greater share of points in the hurdle races, and the 60-yard dash. It is highly possible that the meet may not be decided until the running of the mile relay, the last event. Today's events get under way at 4:30 p.m. with the running broad jump finals, followed by the running high jump, pole vault, and shot put at 8 p.m., the two mile at 8, the semi- finals in the 60-yard dash at 8:15, the finals of the 65-yard high hurdles at 8:25, the 60-yard dash finals at 8:40, the mile at 8:50, the 65-yard low hurdles at 9, and the mile relay at 9:10.
