the Pacific Coast, won last year's
National Collegiate crown on an out-

they will travel to Lafayette,, home of
Purdue's powerful Boilermakers, to
'tan-gle with Ward Lamnbert's boys inl
a two-gamne series.
The Wolverines have thir work
cut out for them. in facing thie 1944
edition of Purdue'.s cage squad, an
outfit which the records show to be
one of the strongest in the nation.
Although. the Boilermakers got off to
a slow start in preliminary pljay, us-
tainring a four-gamrr~e losing sra at

Purdue, co-champs of Western
Conference football competition, are
a- good bet to annex their second ma-
jor crown within a few months. With
victories over Chicago, Indiana, and
a double win over Minnesota on the
cedit side of, the ledger, the high-
flying Lani ertuien can acid greater
glory to their record. with a paith of
victories over the Wolverines.
Thie schedule, which worked. out so
disastrously frtMichigtarn by forcing
them to melet their toughest oppon-
ents early i the season anrd away'
fromn home, favors the boilermakers
in their bid for their tenth. Conifer-
Sence chlampienship since 191'7. They
play most of tihe better :tig Ten
teamrs olon oe grounds and have
only single conitest;s c arded with Wis-
consin. and Northwestern, who, with
Michigan, stack ttp)as their ma in op-
posit ion.
Lambert a Great Cozeh
In Ward "Piggy" Lam bert Pur'due
boasts the dean of Western. Confer-
ence mentors and one of the top-
flight coaches in the nation. It is
a tr'adition in Big Ten circles that a,
Lambert -coached team is a well-
coached team. Lambert is an expon-
ent of the fast-break and his teams
work at bewildering speed, featuring
a clever passing game and deadly ac-
curate shooting.
Chief cog in the Boil ermakcer mra-
chine this season is Bill Lodge, a pro-
duct of the Navy V-12 unit. Lodfge, a
six-footer, is a flashy forward and
leading. scorer of the teamr. He is
exlected to give the "Wolverines a
great dele of troulble i the coning
contests.
Michigap. ,nks as IUnderdog
Michigan will t.%ke the floor as de-
finite, underdogs on t he basis of past
performance. H-owever, the Maize
and Blue squad is a much more pow-
erful factor than its Conference re-
cord of one win and three losses
would indicate. Under the tutelage
of Coaches Bennie -Oosterb aan and
Bill Barclay, they ha've been improv-
ing in. each succeeding game anld
have probably not it their peak yet.

meret of the year.I
Last week, aifter beginning the Big'
T1en schedule with a victory over
Northwestern, 46-38, the varsity was
swamped by the avalanche of the
.Bluejackets. This galaxy of stars,
staLItioned at the Naval Training St,.tw
tion, put on a show of t alent that,
ended in a 60-24 defeat for the Wol-
verines.
Smith Leads Invader's
The undefeated Great Lakes tank-
ers have a versatile, talented group
that makes them powerful in all
races. Bill Smith, called "the great-
est swimmer in the world," leads the
bluejackets. He paced Ohio State to
the National Collegiate champion-
ship and the National AAU indoor
and outdoor, championships last year.
Two of Matt Mann's former pupils
wil~l again work against their, former
coach and alma mater. Strother '"T-
Bone" Martin. exper't diving exhi-
bitionist, and Dobby .Burton, Midi,-
gan, captain in 1942 and .now known
as the "pocket. battleship," will be
additional mainstays of the enemy
attack Saturday.
The Wolverines, besides facing A
team that is exceptionally strong, did
not perform as well against the Blue-
jackets last Saturday as they did
against Northw Lera the pirevious
night. With last week's shellacking
challenging thiem, plus the advan-
tages of home territory and a home
crowd, the Maize and Blue showing
should be considerably better. Even
if the. Wolverines do improve, it is
very doubtful if they can gain
enough strength to match the all-
around. ability of the star-studded
EGreat Lakes array of talent..

T e third big name in the 600 will
be Jimmy Herbert, New York Uni-
versity's former ace half-miler. THer-
bert, three-time Millrose winner in
this special event, lost to Uifer last
year on the Garden boards, but came
back to take the Michigan ace in the
Chicago Relays 600-yard dash in
1:11.7.
Hugh Short, formerly of George-
town, holds the world's record in the
6001 at 1:10.9. He set this standard 1
last year in beating Lifer whose
clocking of 1:11.1 is the second best
ever run in Millrose history. Bour-
land, on the other h,#hd, has never
run on the boards.
lourlarnd' New to Boards
There was some speculation as to
how quickly Bourland will be able to
round out into 'condition. Since he
has no place to train at Evanston, he'
must travel daily to Oak Park High
School in Chicago, ill., to find an
indoor track. And, since he has not
run on a board track before, he may
have trouble with the turns and the
harder footing.
Advance reports from New York
list Bob Comning, Metropolitan A.AT
champion at 600 yards, as the fourth
top entry in this special race. I
Uter on Relay Teach
Besides competing in the 600, Ufor
will- run the anchor leg on the two-
mile relay teamer. Last year, the Wol-
verine quartet of Ross f-lume, Cap-
tain Dave Matthews, John Roxbor-
ough and Lifer set a Millrose record;
for the two-mile event in 7:48.5, and
Coach Doherty expects leis 1944 team
to do as well.
The make-up of the small Michi-
gan team which will accompany
Doherty to New York next month
will be definitely decided Saturdayl
afternoon at the Field House whent
final time trials will be held.1
