Both teams will present untar- nished slates when they enter this contest, and both squads have been rated as pre-season favorites to fin- ish strongly in the final Big Ten tabulations. Purdue has swept aside such formidable opposition as North- western, Illinois and Wheaton Col- lege, while Michigan has only seen action once, and that was a tripmph against Ohio State. Teams Have Looked Impressive The Boilermakers have had mor; actual combat than the Maize and Blue matmen this year ara they have looked impressive in their three starts so far, but tb,; Wolverines looked equally impressive in their one match, as their steam-roller score against the Buckeyes tends to indicate. Al,:), Coach Ray Courtright has not cen letting any moss grow under the feet of his wrestlers, and the iack of actual matches has been %iade up by frequent intra-squad matches. These intra-squad matches have kept the Michigan wrestling team in good shape and have tended to cor- rect any of the major mistakes which the team makes in the heat of bat- tle. The Wolverines have had inten- sive workouts ever since their last mnat'ch, with the Buckeyes, and they will be as ready as ever to meet Pur- due today. Squads Are Composed of Veterans Coaches Reeck and Courtright have two teams which would make any coach in the Big Ten proud to have. Both teams are star-studded, and there are few of the men who will participate in today's matches who haven't had considerable wrest- ling experience at some school or other. Corky felt that he was working his squad too hard. so there was no intensive practice this week, as he didn't want his boys to get stale before this important meet with the team from Lafayette. Neither of the squads have met the same opponent this season, so there is no basis for comparative scores. Therefore, the meet could go either Sextet Seeks Third Victory Over McMaster Although tonight's hockey '?ame with. McMaster University was ar- ranged only this week, chances are that fans will have an opportunity to see an excellent tussle when the two teams take to the ice at 8:00 p.m. McMaster was contacted only Tuesday when the AAU refused to sanction the game scheduled with the Blue Frontier team from Buffalo, N.Y. However, the McMaster coach has been angling for a game with the varsity for some time, and Coach Eddie Lowrey was glad to be able to work in a game with the University squad. McMaster, which is in Hamilton, Ont., has played other games this season and was victorious when meet- ing sextets from Siulte Sainte Marie and from Clevcland. Being a Cana- dian club, tie chances are that it will provide stiff opposition.for the reju- venat,4d varsity pucksters. Lowrey is planning to start the same lineup which proved so success- ful in last Saturday's game with the RCAF lads from Fingal, Ont. The aggressive forward wall of Vince Abbey and Johnny Jenswold at the wings and Ted Greer in the center lane, which accounted for six of last week's eight goals, will again be called on to pour them in, and they will be backed up by the well-coordinated second line composed of Captain Bob Derleth, at center, and Jack Athens and Gordie Anderson at wings. Defensively, Lowrey is counting on Tom Messinger and Bob Henderson, scrappy naval trainees who played' sixty-minute hockey last week, and sixty minutes of smart hockey. Dick Mixer will again be in the nets. way and is rated as a toss-up. The} only thing certain when these two powerhouses of the Midwest collide, is that they will provide many thrills in a slam-bang affair. Starting Lineups MICHIGAN Wts.

McMillen Buckeyes, 53-49 TAKING IT EASY By ED ZALENSKI Daily Sports Editor WHEN LOWELL OBERLY, Wisconsin-now-Michigan 135-pounder, steps out on the mat this afternoon at the Field House for his match with Purdue's Dannie Nettesheim, he may be more nervous and tense than usual. And, if he is, the reason will be his Boilermaker opponent. Don't get the impression that Lowell is afraid of Dannie, or that he lacks confidence in what he can do, It's nothing like that. There's a deeper reason behind it. You see, Lowell and Dannie are boyhood pals and have chummed around together since they first met in the seventh grade at Washington High School in Malwaukee, Wis. "He's just like a brother to me," Lowell said. We've fooled around a lot together on the mat," he added, "but this is the first time in our lives that we'll be wrestling each other under different colors. We're as close as any pair of brothers could be. I can remember the last time we fought for keeps back in 1941, but that was when we were on the same team. For some reason or other, this is different." OBERLY'S reference to the 1941 meeting was the Wisconsin AAU tournament in Milwaukee. Both he and Nettesheim were entered in the 135-tound division. It was their last year at Washington High and they were all set to toss everything at each other, including the referee. The match, as you might have guessed, was a terrific struggle all the way. And, as expected, it ended in a 3-3 tie. however, the judges liked Lowell's aggressiveness, and awarded him the match on that basis. '1his victory gave him a fourth in the 135-pound division of the tournament. Of course, they first started battling each other back in grade school. "We sat in the same classes next to each other for six straight years," Lowell said, "and were just as close as brothers could be." They both tried out for the high school team in their freshman year, and Oberly beat his chum out in the 125-pound class. The following year Lowell put on weight and moved up to 135 pounds which he won easily, while Dannie stuck to 125 and also won. By the senior year they were both wrestling at 135 pounds and Dannie was shading Lowell consistently. "We wrestled a great deal this summer," Lowell said, "and it was just like old times. One day I'd just manage to beat him and then he'd come back the next day and ni me. I often thought about wrestling against Dannie when I went to Wisconsin in the fall of 1941 and lae went to Purdue. We thought about going to college together, but Dannie wanted to be an engineer and I had my eye on physical education. And so we wound up in different schools." 0BERLY completed two years at Wisconsin before enlisting in the Marine Reserves. That's how he happened to end up at Michigan as Coach Ray Courtright's star 135-pounder. And Nettesheim is a jiunior at Purdue. Both competed in the Conference finals at Evanston last year. Nettesheeim was second in the 135-pound division, while Oberly lost out in the second round, 13-12 in overtime, to Hal Brunner who went on to win the title at 128 pounds. Courtright liked Oberly's possibilities. "He's fast, aggressive and ambitious.. He learns quickly and should do well in the Conference next month," Courtright said. Woiverite Swimmers To Face Purdue Here Today By JIM LEWY The Maize and Blue swimmers should have little trouble in gaining their second Conference win at 2:30 this afternoon when they play host to Purdue at the Sports Building pool. Today's meet, which is Michigan's first home Big Ten meet of the year, will be just another warmup for the Wolverines as the Boilermakers have a rather unimpressive squad. Their main hope seems to rest on the shoulders of Phil Hansel, newly elect- ed captain, who is entered in the 220 and 440-yard swims. Wolverines Favored for Team Honors As Purdue looked rather unim- pressive against the Northwestern tank squad, Michigan, who easily ov- erpowered the Wildcats Jan. 15, are odds on favorites to win the team honors. The Wolverine mermen will have a hard time, however, taking all of the individual honors. Besides their captain, the Boilermakers boast fine swimmers in Bill Porter and Ted Salmon, both V-12 transfers, who will compete in the free style events. Matt Mann's freshman breaststroke star, Heini Kessler, will have Jimmie McMullen and Bob Barnard, who fin- ished second and third, respectively, in the Northwestern meet, for his competition. Completing the Purdue entrants are Bob Brogan, Indianap- olis freshman, in the distances; Hugh Woolverton and Bob Huntington in the backstroke, and Claude Bower in the diving events. Mermen Bid for Win The Wolverine swimmers will be endeavoring to redeem themselves to- morrow after their defeat at the hands of the Great Lakes Bluejackets. Matt Mann will pit his crack relay team of Church, Fries, Cory, and Pulakus, against the Boilermakers, along with Kessler, and John Mc- Carthy, backstroker. Michigan should conquer the Boil- ermakers, in view of their past tri- umph of Northwestern, but Purdue will provide a stiff competition for the Wolverines during the meet.
