FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ' S 1 L i Cagers Play Purdue Tonight in First of Two-Game Series 141 - Boilermakers Unbeaten In Four Big Ten Starts A thrice beaten Michigan basket- ball team will meet the pace setting Boilermakers today at Lafayette in the first of a crucial two game series. The Boilermakers top the Western Conference standings with four wins against no losses. Coach Lambert's have captured two games from Min- nesota, and one from Indiana and Chicago respectively. However, all three of these teams are at the bot- tom of the C6nference race and the game today against Michigan will be the Boilermakers' first major test of the campaign. Purdue must sweep the two game series against the Wolverines in or- ler to maintain their number one position in the Big Ten Standings. A double loss to Purdue would place iichigan on a same level with the other weaker Conference teams, In- diana, Minnesota, and hapless Chi- cago. Michigan Starting Lineup It will be necessary for Michigan to sweep the series with Purdue if they intend to make any notable ad- vancement in the Big Ten Race. laying both of these games on the Boilermakers' home court makes this assignment even more difficult than usual. The Michigan starting lineup will probably be Dave Strack and Tom King at forward, Elroy Hirsch at the pivot position, and Don Lund and Charlie Ketterer at guards, Ketterer, by virtue of his fine performance in the Wisconsin games last week-end, has elevated himself to a starting berth in the Maize and Blue lineup. Seven other players, Bill Seymour, John Leddy, Bob Wiese, Wayne Thompson, Tom Cook, Dick Shrider, and Bruce Hilkene complete the Michigan traveling roster. With Wiese and Leddy ready for action, this will be actually the first time this season that the Wolverines have been at full strength. Wiese has been out with an injured ankle and Leddy just returned from a two week fur- lough. Lodge Sparks Purdue Attack The Purdue attack is sparked by center Bill Lodge who has thus far amassed 42 points in the four con- ference games. The Boilermakers in pre-season competition dropped four consecutive tilts when Lodge was out of the lineup. Since Lodge's return Purdue has maintained a perfect re- cord. Two' other Purdue stars, Charley Haag and Fred Hoffman are among the leaders in he individual race for scoring honors. Haag has chalked up 53 points which places him fourth in the standings, while Hoffman's re- cord of 43 points put him in eighth place. Relay Team To Defend Title in New York Meet Loss of Matthews Will Demand Change In Makeup of Team Michigan's powerful two-mile re- lay team will defend its 1943 cham- pionship at the famous Millrose Games Saturday, Feb. 5, in Madison Square Garden, New York. The Wolverine quartet of Bob Ufer, Captain Dave Matthews, Ross Hume and John Roxborough had little difficulty in grabbing first place last winter in 7:48.5. Some of the nation's outstanding teams were entered. Makeup of Team Uncertain The makeup of this year's quartet will be slightly altered. Matthews has graduated, leaving a vacancy which Coach Ken Doherty will fill after final time trials tomorrow aft- ernoon in the Field House. Two heats of the 880-yard run will be run off at 4 p.m. with Ufer and Roxborough battling each other in the first. The real contest, however, will come in the second in which the Hume twins, Bob and Ross, and Dick Barnard will fight it out. Doherty indicated that the best two men in this heat would join Ufer and Roxy in making up the team. Other Trials Listed Coach Doherty has scheduled time trials in all events for this afternoon and tomorrow. Today's program in- cludes the sprints, high and low hur- dles and broadjump at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, the Wolverine coach plans trials for the pole vault at 1 p.m., high jump at 2, shotput at 2:30, two 440-yard dash heats at 3:15, the mile and one-half at 3:30, and the two half-mile heats at 4. Swanson, Segula May Go There is a slight possibility that Doherty will enter husky Elmer Swanson in the high hurdles and Bob Segula in the pole vault at the Games. - The performance of both men during the next week will de- cide whether or not they make the trip. Should Swanson make the trip he would be matched against three of the top hurdlers of the country- Whitey Hlad, former Michigan Nor- -mal ace; Bob Wright, Ohio State star, and Jimmy Fieweger, Lawrence College, who placed second in the 1943 Nationals. M~ichigain Fi'eestyler -i. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ACE CORY ... veteran of last year's swim- ming team, seems certain to give Bill Smith of Great Lakes a battle in the 220-yard freestyle event. League T o Play Second. Games The second games of the All-Cam- pus basketball tournament are scheduled to be played Saturday afternoon beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the gym of the Sports Building. Previously only two leagues were entered, but now a third league has been added, consisting so far of Sigma Alpha Mu, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta. Saturday's schedule: 1:30- Phi Delta Theta Blues vs. The Michigan Daily; Theta Chi vs. Phi Alpha Kap- pa; Theta Delta Chi vs. Sigma Chi. 2:30-Alpha Tau Omega vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon; Acacia vs. Nu Sigma Nd; Phi Delta Theta Whites vs. Phi Chi. 3:30-Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Phi Gamma Delta. Pitcher To Be Hunter Swimmers Set For Sailor Meet Michigan Hopes Lie In Freestyle Events The Wolverine swimmers will real- ly be out for blood tomorrow night when they face the Great Lakes na- tators here in the Sports Building pool, and they have good reason to be fired up. In the first place, the 60 to 24 de- feat the Bluejackets handed Michi- ganlast week was only the 14th dual meet decision lost by the Maize and Blue under Coach Matt Mann the past 20 seasons. During that time they have won 143 and tied three- certainly an enviable record to up- hold. Record May Fall And if the Sailors beat the Wolver- ines again tomorrow night, 1944 will go into the records as the first sea- son since 1938 in which Michigan has lost two dual meets in one year. There have been only three such sea- sons during Mann's tenure here, 1928, 1934 and 1938. This will be the first home dual meet of the year for the Wolverines whose principle strength lies ,in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events, Mert Church, Chuck Fries, Ace Cory, and Achilles Pulakus lead the Wol- verine threat in those events, in ad- dition to composing the 400 yard re- lay team that was barely nosed out by the Great Lakes quartet last Sat- urday. Diving and Backstroke Weak Notably weak in the diving and backstroke in which they could gar- ner only a third in each race, the Maize and Blue swimmers should hold their own in the other events. Bill Smith should not have much trouble in the 220 and 440, but if the Varsity can grab the second and third as they did in the quarter mile last week, along with possible firsts in the breaststroke, 50 and 100, to- gether with scattered thirds, they should be right in there fighting at the end. Coach Matt Mann said that there was a good chance that Smith, now recognized as the "world's greatest swimmer," would shatter several re- cords in the 220 and 440 yard events. High School Track Star To Attempt New Records SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Jan. 20.-(P) -Flyin' Charley Parker, the blond bullet of Texas schoolboy track, does not promise that he'll better any of his marks this year but ventures that if he does it will be because of added height. Charley won't have to surpass his 1943 performances much to hang up world records. He already is Nation- al Scholastic 220-yard king with a 20.6 seconds timing and he has raced the 100 in 9.5. "If I better any of my 1943 records, I would say a lengthened stride caus- ed by added height would be account- able," said the "pony express," now in his final season at Thomas Jeffer- son High School. Parker is 17 years old, 5 feet 9 /2 inches tall and has gained exactly one pound over last year, weighing in at 147. Surprising Hawkeyes Engage Illinois Tonight CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-AP- The midwest's only major undefeated basketball team, Iowa, will resume its Big Ten Conference campaign tomorrow and Saturday nights by entertaining Illinois. The Illini, beaten only twice this season, should provide the surprising Hawkeyes with their first real test of the season. Wallie Roettger, assistant Illinois coach who scouted the Hawkeyes last Saturday when they ran up their seventh straight win by beat- ing little Augustana College, 56-30, reports that the team is tall and fast with a starting lineup that can go the full 40 minutes if necessary. Northwestern, recognized as one of the leading contenders for the cham- pionship, meets Notre Dame in a Chicago Stadium double bill tomor- row night, then must face Ohio State at Evanston on Saturday. 100 WOMEN waiting for you SATURDAY AFTERNOON at the Go.I.
