Griffith, who has been running the Conference long enoigh to he "Mr. Big Ten," Is the author of certain facts, now male public, regarding offers made to pro players by Conference schools. Griffith referred to an article in the flee. 27 issue of Time maga- Aine in which George Striclder, press agent of the professinal football league, made a statement concerning such offers, A talk between Griffith and Strickler brought out the fact that both Wisconsin and Iowa were in- volved. In the case of Wisconsin, the possibility that the school itself did not imake the offer or back it, up was pointed out. Someone, Strickler thought, had offered inducements to a profes- -sional gridder at Wisconsin to play on the Badger eleven. The player in question was Ted. Frisch, who played with Green 1Bay Pack- ers in 1942 and 1943. Frisch, re- jected from military service be- cause of a punctured eardrum, enrolled at Wisconsin to try to get a master's degree in physical edu- cation. The employment offered Frisch to help him stay in school, apparently, did not come from anyone in connection with the university. flIE OTHER CASE concerns Dick Ashcom, who played tackle at Oregon for three years and Was a member of the 1942 'All-Star squad' approached Slip Madigan, Iowa grid coach, and spoke on the possibility of completing his endical studies at Iowa. Madigan sent him to see the school medical authorities, but he found out he could not enter, and' wound up on the University of De- troit squad. There was no evidence that the schools had bid against each other for his services. ld en's Mate LUnrecognized, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-(P)_- 3aldish and on the plump side, Wil- liam M.

He was con- temporary to, but younger than, Maurice McLoughlin, the California comet who introduced the siashing type of game now common on 'every court. in order to cope with MLough- n's power, Johnston developed vol- leying and forehand shots to a de- gree unknown until then.

Plagued by injuries and hard luck, Coach Oosterbaan's charges Red Wings Beat lobson have dropped many close decisions in! which a break decided the game. Up BOSTON, Jan. 25.--(P)-The De- to now Michigan has not been get- troit Red Wings gained a firmer grip ting the breaks and consequently on the National Ifockey League's languishes far down in the Big Ten third Ang by defeating the Boston standings.

The topnotch Watnamaker field is headed by Gil Dodds, Boston. divinity student, who captured the event last year; Frank Dixon, holder of the Na- tional Scholastic mile record; Earl Mitchell, former Indiana distance star; and Bill Ilulse, Metropolitan AAU champion. Invitation Is lH nor In entering Hume, twin brother of Captain Bob Fiume of the 1944 Wol- verine cinder squad, Coach Ken Do- herty pointed out that it would be valuable experience for his miler. "I don't expect him to do better than fifth against such a field," Do- herty said. "Ross is not entering the race with the idea of winning, but he will do his best and make a race of it It's an honor to be invited," Ie point ed out, "since only the nation's elite milers aie on the progrni.'' Knee Injury Bothers Ross has been bothered by a knee injury for the past few weeks and has been unable to bear down in prac- tice runs. Yesterday, he and brother Bob dead-heated a mile and one- half in 7:04.4, which is considered as remarkable time so early in the sea- son. Last season, the boys didn't hit 7 minutes flat until the eve of the Conference in March. Doherty will know definitely wheth- er or not Ross will be ready this Sat- urday afternoon when he and Bob run a special three-quarter-mile race at the Field House. Best Mile Is 4:18 A junior with only one year of collegiate competition, Ross won the Conference mile last March in 4:19.4, beating out Captain Dave Matthews at the tape. His best time is 4:18, which came in the dual meet at Champaign, '11.. with Illinois last May. j Last June, Ploss entered the Na- tional Colfegiate mile at Chicago and placed third against, the country's top distance stars. Should this Saturday's time trials reveq.f no effects of his knee injury, there is a strong possibility that Hume will run well on the Madison Square Garden boards. Cardinal PresIdent N t Sure Team Will Operate ST. LOUIS, Jan. 25.-(/)-In the most pessimistic statement made to date by a major league baseball ex- ecutive, President Sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cardinals asserted to- day: "The way players are being tak- en by the draft, it does seem ques- tionable whether we'll have enough left to operate." 'He said he considered 19 players- eight pitchers, two catchers, five in- fielders,'and four outfielders-the ab- solute minimum with which a club could go through the season.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.- (A1}--- Al- though the American League cur- rently has ample manpower for a successful start in the 1944 baseball season, it's only a far-fetched guess what the situation will be on opening1 day, less than three months away. A player inventory today showed that of the 257 men (six m6re than in 1918) on spring training rosters, only about 50 are 4-F's while eight others hold honorable discharges from the service. This group, en- larged somewhat by players over 38. is the only one which can be counted on. The majority of the )layers ar eligible for the draft. Thirty-one players have entered the service since the close of the 1943 campaign. As far as numbers were concerned, the Washington Senators were hardest hit, losing seven men, including their regular first and second basemen Mickey Vernon and Gerry Priddy. Least affected in this respect were 'the Chicago White Sox and Boston fled Sox who lost two men apiece. The White Sox are especially sta- bilized by having nine 4-1's- among whom are pitchers Orval Grove and Joe Haynes and catcher Vince Cast- ing-plus three men with honorable discharges, one be'i fly-chaser Myril Hoag. ty HANK MANTIWO Coach Ra Courtright arid his1 wrestling squad received heartening' news from Lafayette yesterday when' the Boilermakers announced that they would meett lwc Wolverines here1 this Saturday. This match with Purdue las been pending for soie time, and the final1 signing caused much relief. The con- test was scheduled for Jan. 22 but, because of a nmisuuderstauding, Pur- due signed Indiana for that date.l Therefore, the athletic directors ofJ the two schools have 'been burningl the wires in an endeavor to arirange a meet between the schools. Thisi has been done and the Maize and Blue matmen will have a chance to show their wares at home in their second match of the campaign. Minnesota Is Signed The recent signing of the Minne- sota and Purdue wrestling teamsi completed a four-match schedule for the Michigan glrapplers, which is considerably smaller than usual, and1 which threatened to be much smaller than it -is now until the past week. The present campaign will terminate Feb..19 with the Confer-ence finls in Chicago. Purdue will arrive in Ann Arbor, some time Saturday morning via.- Detroit, and will immediately go down to the Field house to weigh in. f'le match will begin at 3 p.m. Sat- urday. Purdue Htas Many Veterans The Boilermakers are undefeated to date, and should provide the first big test of the season for Michigan, as well as many thrills for the spec- tators.. The team is composed . of many veterans and is definitely one of the Conference threats. Some of the topnotch men on the squad are Phil Nettersheim, 145- pounder, who won a_ wrestling letter at Purdue last year and did quite well in the Conference meets; Bill Copple, 155-pounder. who wrestled three years at Nebraska, and brings an enviable record with him; Dick Sclieppard in the 165-pound divi- sion, a high class wrestler from Iowa, and Ed Iershli, a 175-pounder. lUersch To Face Galles Hersch is from Franklin and Mar- shall College, which continually 'has good wrestling teams. Ed has com- piled a splendid record and has had much mat experience. So far he has lived up to all advance notices this season.' His match with Jim Galles. former 175-pound Conference champ for the Wolvorines, should highlight the match. Wrestlers Take It Easy Corky gave his boys a rest Sunday and Monday as he felt that they were getting stale, and wanted them in good shape by Saturday. There will be no intensive practice this week as the mentor feels that his boys have corrected all of the major mistakes, they will spend the rie- mainder of the week polishing up holds and take-downs. The Wolverine starting army 'wilt be the same from the 136-pound division up, that started at Ohio .State. There may be some changes at 121 and 128 pounds, but Corky will not be sure who will start in the latter mentioned weights until short- ly before match time. Foxx To Repmrt Again NEWARK, N.J., Jan. 25.-(/P) Jimmy Foxx, former .slugger of .the ,Big Leagues, reported to the Newark Induction Center today for his final physical examination for military service, but Army physicians told him to come back tomorrow for fur- ther checks, MICHIGAN Tocloy and Thursday Irresistile (~d COGE/T \ 'CIjM4P ,~ ,' '- Motinees 25c -Also WALT DISNEYS' Evenings 40c "Pelican and the Snipe" Comng IFridayi "WOMAN OF TUCE TOWN"" r Breaks Decide Purdue Tilt1 Especially disheartening was the first tilt with Purdue last Friday when an injury to Center Elroy Hirsch, a 'tinier's error, and some questionable officiating combined to defeat the Wolverines in a game which had ap- peared to be on ice. Disappointed by the loss, Michigan resistance faded in the second game after a slam-bang first half, allowing the Boilermakers to turn loose a barrage of baskets and win going away. By virtue of their double victory Purdue cleared one of the major hurdles in its race for the Conference cage championship, although they must still get by Iowa, Northwestern, up their eighth successive without a setback before a crowd at Boston Garden. gameI 12,0001 f' -t GIRLS' I j RECTORY ( 1 A SSIFWED RATES $ 40 per 15-word insertion for one or two days.
