Arnie, Risen, Ohio State's giant 6ft. 8/tin. center, paced the Buckeye attack by rolling up six field goals and three free throws for a total of 15 points. The towering center scored 22 points in Friday's game to give him a grand total of 37 points for the two-game series. Slende' Tommy King continued his scoring barrage, ringing up six ieh goals for a total of twelve points. King's 27 points in the first Ohio gamemakes him high point man for the two contests with a total of 39 markers. In eight conference games thus far, King has registered 109 points, which gives him top position in the Big Ten race for individual pcoring honors. Wolverines Start Out Fast The Wolverines started out at a rapid tempo and after five minutes of play the Maize and Blue enjoyed an 8-2 advantage. Risen and Bob Bowen then hit for the Bucs, mak- ing the score 8-5. Two free throws by Elroy Hirsch, Michigan's fighting center, and a field goal by Dave Strack put the local team ahead 12-5. The Wolverines maintained a five- point edge until midway in the first half. With the score 16-11 in favor of Michigan, the Scarlet and Gray began pecking away at the Wolverine lead and finally forged ahead, 18-17, on a drive-in shot under the basket by Bill Gunton. Two charity tosses by Jack Dugger and a basket by Don Grate gave Ohio a 21-16 margin. For the next two minutes the teams played wide-open ball and the half ended with Ohio lv.ing 25-22. Ohio Clinches Victory Any hopes of a Michigan triumph quickly faded in the opening minutes of the second half when Ohio State's rejuvenated Bucks jumped into a convincing 36-24 lead. 'Jack Dugger, the Buckeye 6ft. 4in. forward, was the sparkplug in this drive as he ac- tounted for three buckets and one free throw. From here on in the game turned into a complete rout and the Buck- eyes scored almost at will. The Bucks, after holding a 50-28 edge, finally let up, and Michigan, taking advan- tage of the situation, scored 11 points in the closing minutes of play. Michigan will conclude its home season next -week-end with a pair of games against, Indiana. 1M Cagers Continue Play The Intramural Cage League tour- nament continued yesterday after- poon with the third round of compe- tition giving high scoring honors to the Naval Officers who, paced by Herm Hennessy, chalked up a total score of 132 points against Sigma Alpha Mu. In League I play Sigma Chi de- feated Theta Chi, 28-24, and Phi Alpha Kappa took The Michigan Daily, 42-29. Phi Delta Theta Whites of League II topped Alpha Tau Omega, 61-28; Nu Sigma Nu lost to Sigma Alpha Epsilon 55-28, and Phi Chi routed Acacia, 51-12. Delta Tau Delta topped Phi Gam- ma Delta, 65-30 in League III, and Sigma Alpha Mu bowed to the Naval Officers, 132-26. I IX~ _ y~ INA.Wv !I-Yt1 YV u.at VY11F1 it Led by such stalwart regulars as Heini Kessler and Paul Maloney, the University of Michigan swimming team easily downed Purdue's tank- men, 63-21, in a rather one-sided encounter yesterday afternoon. Though the Wolverines were not pressed in any event except diving, they proved that they are ready to give all future opponents quite a battle. Coach Mann's boys ion and placed in all of the races, leaving Purdue with quite a negligible score. lThe Boilermakers' only victory of the afternoon, was by Claude Bower, 17- year-old freshman V-12 transfer, xwho won the diving event with a fine exhibition. Kessler Wins Breaststroke Heini Kessler won the 200-yard race with no trouble, as he finished one lap ahead of his nearest oppon- ent. His time of 2:37.9 was compara- tively slow for the event, but since he was not pressed, he should be able to do considerably better against keener -competition. John McCarthy took the 150-yard backstroke event, close- ly followed by his teammate, Bill Cooley. Purdue's newly - elected captain, Phil Hansel, was unsuccessful in his bids for victory in the 440-yard an 220-yard events. In the grueling quarter-mile race, Paul Maloney fin- ished 25 yards ahead of his team- mates, Johnny McCarthy, who was closely followed by Hansel. Achilles Pulakus edged out Ace Cory to win the 220-yard freestyle event for Michigan. Fries Takes Freestyle Larry Koppin of the Wolverine squad outswam his teammate Bob Branch to sweep the 50-yard free- style event for Michigan. The 100- yard freestyle race was won by Chuck Fries, who finished immediately in front of Merton Church. The Purdue men swain a weak third and fourth in this race. Both the 300-yard med- ley relay and the 440-yard relay were won by the Wolverines. Michigan's crack relay team of Church, Pulakus, Cory and Fries easily overcame their competition and turned in a fine showing. The Maize and Blue tankmen will meet Ohio State next Saturday in the Wolverine pool at 3:00 p.m. The Buckeyes should give Michigan quite a tussle in view of the fact that they still have some left-overs from last year's team which won the Confer- ence, National Collegiate, and Na- tional Collegiate Indoor and Outdoor championships.

Time-3:36.3. Varsity Forwards Lack Fight Sb own In Earlier Contests By JO ANN PETERSON Despite a vicious last-minue drive which kept the puck slamming around in enemy territory. Michi- gan's hockey team was unable to convert for the necessary tying goal and was defeated last night 4-3, by the Vickers Sports club, a Detroit outfit. In the opening minutes of the game it appeared that the varsity forward wall had none of the fire that characterized play in last week's contest. Streaking down the ice the Vickers line drew Goalie Dick Mixer out of the nets and Wilbert Kannen- en, wing, poured in the initial score,j at 4:22, Squad Settles Down This blast settled the squad and for the next few minutes the puck banged back and forth between the two teams with neither side getting within shooting distance. Then the Michigan forward wall took one off the boards and began a concentrated drive up-ice, with Greer slipping in the goal at 14:22. The remainder of the period was scoreless. The second period showed equaliz- ed strength as both teams made un- successful attempts at long shots. Neither line could get within shoot- ing range as defensemen Messinger and Henderson for Michigan and Gresnick and Tullpo for Vickers played cagey hockey, keeping the puck on center ice. Five Men Attack Vickers finally broke all five men down-ice in a mass attack on the Michigan goal, but Mixer made a stellar save which Greer picked up on the rebound and carried up, passing swiftly to Jenswold, who flipped, to Abbey. All three men closed in on the Vickers goal and after three at- tempts Jenswold, with assists from Greer and Abbey pushed the puck through at 10:32. Vickers made a quick break-away immediately and kept the puck on Michigan ice until Frank Gresnick, Vickers defenseman, slammed one across at 17:13. Lack Punch in Third Period In the third period Michigan failed to exhibit any punch. Vickers scored twice and had control of the puck throughout the major portion of the period. It was not until 17:03 that Herb Upton, substitute wing, took a pass off the left-hand boards and made a straight shot that went through goalie Gordon Belleau's legs. This ended the scoring for the game although in the last minutes Michigan threatened consistently. Ten seconds before the final gun coach Eddie Lowrey pulled goalie Dick Mixer off the ice, and played a six-man offense, which came close several times but was unable to get through the stiffened defense Vick- er's maintained. Michigan Beats Purdue, 17-9, in CloeStruggle Jim Galles Scores Only Fall.as Oberly Suffers First Defeat By HANK MANTrHO In their first home match of the year, the mighty Wolverine wrestling team toppled Purdue from the un- defeated ranks yesterday with a bril- liant 17-9 victory in a nip and tuck battle, and thereby established them- {elves as the chief contenders for the 1944 Conference crown. Bob Reichert put Michigan on the right side of the ledger with the first three points of the match, when he scored a 6-2 decision from Dave Liang at 121 pounds. Bob Gittins, Michi- gan 128-pounder, took advantage of all his inexperienced opponents' er- rors and registered a 6-1 decision over Casey Stengal in his first ap- pearance for the Maize and Blue, which gave the Wolverines a 6-0 advantage. 0berly Loses Lowell Oberly then wrestled his life-long pal, Dannie Nettesheim, in the heralded match of the day, and ie lost a heart-breaking1-0 decision. Both men were undefeated when they entered this match, and they gave a fine performance. It was close all of the way through and was decided in the last period when Nettesheim got an escape and his only point. There was some doubt as to whether Oberly should have amassed 4 points on two near falls which he had in the first two periods. Those points could have changed the final score, and apparently the decision made was close. The Wolverines got three more points when Chip Warrick scored a decision over Bob Armstrong in the 145-pound division. Warrick got the first take-down of the match and was the complete master of his fleet op- ponent, as he won a clear-cut 6-0 decision.

Syd Howe scored twice for Detroit, the first being his 200th major league goal. Detroit, now undefeated in nine{ games, used its second victory over Boston in five days asta device to climb into a tie for the National[ Hockey League's second place with the Toronto Maple Leafs, who lost to Chicago. It was Boston's sixth straight defeat. Too lilie, Too Late I1ICHIGAN'S hockey team had a gamne scheduled for last night with the Frcntier Blue Banner squad from Buffalo wicti was canceled through the actions of a Buffalo AAU official who sugct reprisal against the presi- dent of the Frontier Amateur Hockvy League of which the Blue Banner team is a nember. This official went so far as to have AAU heads in New York. Detroit, and Chicago, plague Athletic Direclor Fritz Crisler tvith calls demanding cancelation of th' contest. These men went to such measures as to intimate that, dire vesuilts would occur if the lilt were not conceled. Playing in an unsanctioned league was given as the reason for not allowing the Frontier squad to plav the Wolverine pucksters last night, but the local AAU official from Btflalo admitted that the team was Made un entirely of amateurs. When the AAU was approached by the Blue Banner manager, a former Maire and Blue hockey player, to ask permission to join the Union, he was flatly refused because of the grudge held against the president of the Frontier Amateur Hockey League. Ile was brushed aside with the remark, "Unfortunately you are the victim of circumstances." These "circumstances" were the officials' personal feud-nothing else-and he had no legitimate reason for refusing to allow the members of the Frontier teaim to join the Union. The University of Michigan has had a great deal of d(iliculty this year in arranging a hockey schedule, being able to obtain games only with Canadian teams (some of whom have professionals on tieir roster) and this one lone game with the Buffalo squad. The American AAU is tied up with the similar Canadian organization, and so these so-called amateur teams from across the border are able to play the Wolverines because they are sanctioned by the Canadian AAU, who are just as inconsistent as our own. It seems a dirty shame fhat these men should cancel contests on an already meager Wolverine hockey schedule during the present war- time emergency. After all, even the Western Conference, which has long been known for its stringent eligibility rules, has lowered the bars for the duration, and there is no reason why the AAU couldn't do the same thing-- or at least not allow cheap politicians to interpret the present i'ule.s to suit themselves. FROM the standpoint of the Buffalo team it was a bitter pill to swallow when they learned of the cancelation. They had been looking forward to playing the Varsity for over a month, some of them working overtime to earn money to defray oart of the exenses of the trip. One member paid half his salary to a substitute so that his absence would not hamper the war effort. The team even obtained a rink 90 miles from Buffalo, when a closer one was not, available, so that they might have a special praetice session in. preparation for the game with Michigan. i -!-- -However, the Boilermakers had a MICHIGAN P OS VICKERS lot at stake in this meet and they Dick Mixer G Gordon Belleau came back strong, winning the next Bob Henderson D Frank Gresnick two matches on decisions to knot the Torn Messenger I) Eno Tulipo count at nine all.
