SUNDAY, FEB. 6T, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Michigan Trips Indiana,46-44;Swimmers Rout Ohio ,AGE-FIV Wolverines Nip Hoosiers In Final Minutes of Play Strack Paces Maize and Blue with 19 Points ; Retherford, Brandenburg Shine for Hoosiers By BILL MULLENDORE In a hard-fought but loosely-play- ed contest Michigan's basketball team came from behind in the last three minutes of play last night to barely ease out an inspired Indiana quiitet 46-44 and annex their third Big Ten victory. It was the second win in as many nights over the Hoosiers for Coach Bennie. Oosterbaan's charges, but they did not have an easy time of it as they did Friday night. Indiana Coach Harry Good devised a new and effective defense which threat- ened to stop the Wolverine attack cold early in the game. After trading baskets for the first few minutes, the Hoosiers opened up a small lead and managed to cling to it until the end of the half. Big gun in their attack was forward Claude Retherford who gave as fine an ex- hibition of back-court shooting as has been seen here all season. Michigan Fails To Click Michigan's offense during the first stanza was not clicking as it failed to capitalize on many scoring oppor- tunities by missing easy shots and throwing the ball away. Maize and Blue forward Dave Strack kept the Wolverines in the game by gathering nine points in the half. Despite his efforts the Hoosiers enjoyed a 25-22 lead at the mid-point. The second period was much the same as the first with Indiana stav- ing off repeated Wolverine threats, Good's charges boasted a comfort- able six point 41-47 lead, but the Michigan team finally pulled itself together. Rex Wells, whose fine play as a substitute for Elroy Hirsch at center was one of the main factors in the Wolverine triumph, and Strack caged quick field goals to close the gap to two points, and Wells added a free throw to cut it to*'one. Wolverines Take Lead Tommy King, held in check all evening by the fine defensive work of Hoosier guard Ed Brandenburg, came through with a timely two-pointer which gave Michigan the lead. In- diana tied it up with a free-throw by Brandenburg, but !charity tosses by Strack and Leddy gave the l Wol- verines the lead and victory.

In absorbing one of their worst defeats in recent years, the weakened Scarlet and Gray squad could do no better than garner three first places -two by their sensational Hawaiian star, Captain Keo Nakama, and one by diver Bob Stone. Nakama's exhi- bition yesterday was short of former teammate Bill Smith's performance of two weeks ago, but it was good enough to prove to everyone present that he will have little trouble in capturing the 220 and 440 in the Big Ten meet at Evanston two weeks hence. Nakama Wins Little Keo took the 220 in a breeze as he finished ten yards ahead of Wolverines Gordon P ul f o r d and Charlie Fries. His time, 2:13.2, was almost six seconds slower than Smith's record breaking time of two weeks ago. In the 440, the Buckeye ace found tougher going. There was a scant bit of open water between Nakama and Michigan's Paul Malo- ney as the winning time was 4:59.1, way off Keo's best. s Coach Mike Peppe of Ohio State showed he can still produce fine div- ers as Buckeye Bob Stone gave a superb exhibition on the board to take the event by a tremendous mar- gin. Since there were only two men entered, John Krygoski of the varsity automatically took second. Four of the swimming events were cut down so as to make the races closer. Mert Church won the 50 in :23.8, closely followed by teammate Bob Branch with Jim. Boone coming in third. Church, Big Ten champion in the 50-yard freestyle, also took the century in :53.1. Ace Cory fin- ished second, while Boone again copped a third. Wolverines Win Relays The Wolverines captured both re- lays, which were cut in half, as Ohio came in a poor second. Michigan made it a clean sweep of six of the nine events as they grabbed first and second in the 100-yard breaststroke and in the 100-yard backstroke. Heini Kessler and Steve Rubach fin- ished one, two in the breaststroke, while Bill Cooley and John McCar- thy.did the same in the dorsal event. Next week the Maize and Blue nat- ators play host to Northwestern. They defeated the Wildcats at Evanston two weeks ago by taking the last two events to win, 46-38.

Johnny Greene Loses By HANK MANTHO Michigan's power-laden wrestling team, registered its third successive win of the season yesterday at the Yost Field House against a gallant but undermanned squad from Minne- sota, 25-3, and thereby established themselves more firmly as the Con- ference favorites. Bob Reichert got the Wolverines off to a flying start as he scored a fall over Wingard at 121 pounds in 7:14, giving Michigan a 5-0 lead. This match started out slowly, but Reich- ert kept pushing his man, working calmly, until he scored his fall. Bob Gittins and Lowell Oberly then scored successive decisions over their' opponents in the 128 and 136 pound Hocke Team Downs Paris Club, 6-2 Greer Scores Four Goals During Rout Michigan's hockey team hit the .500 mark last night, walloping Paris, Ont., 6-2 for its third victory in six starts. Scoring star for the evening was wiry Ted Greer, who accounted for four goals, but the unofficial star was freshman second line wing, Herb Up- ton, who played a game of hockey which far surpassed anything he has exhibited yet. The first period was not marred by scoring from either side. A fast, quick passing style was employed by both teams, and the strict defensive play on both sides kept the puck ramming around on center ice. Fun Begins on Second Period Fireworks began in the second minute of the second period, and con- tinued unleashed for the next eight minutes, during which time Michigan made five of its total of six markers. Ted Greer, Johnny Jenswold and puck on Michigan ice for almost the first time during the period. How- ever, Captain Bob Derleth cleared out of the group and made a solo dash down-ice which resulted in another goal at the end of exactly ten min- utes of the period. Dutchburn Tallies for Paris The next score was made by Don Dutchburn, Paris center, who took I.. 1 For Servicemen Only Many of you are on the Michigan campus for the first time; a great many of you do not know how long you will be stationed here.

Shroe-1 der got the first two points on a take-i down, but the lead in points changed hands miany times during the course of the battle before Warrick eeked out a well-deserved victory.; ' Wolverine 155 - pounder, George Curtis; then got back to his winning ways with a fall over Gopher Dick Nelson in 1:26 of the second period. Nelson got the first take-down for two points, but Curtis tied him with a reversal and it was his match from there on. After Curtis scored his fall, they still had to wrestle the third period, but the only way that Nelson could have won, was to have pinned Curtis in less time than he was pinned. However, Curtis pinned his man for good measure in the third peniod, and added five more points to the Maize and Blue column. In the 165-pound event, Ivan Do- seff of Minnesota provided fans with a few thrills as he met Hugh Wilson. Doseff came out to the center of the mat fast and resembled a wild man as he went after Wilson. There was plenty of action in this match and the boys were in many neutral posi- tions before Hugh got the first take- down, and from there, Wilson began to compile his total of eight points againstnone for his opponent. Galles Takes Exciting Match Jim Galles, former 175-pound Con- ference champion for Michigan, won an easy 12-3 decision from Roddy Lister of Minnesota, which was the last score of the day, for the Wolver- ines. Verne Gagne then defeated Captain Johnny Greene in the heavyweight tilt, 3-1, for the first and only three points that the Gophers got in the match.

Dodds Captures Millrose Mile; Fulton Wins 600 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-(MP)-il Dodds, Boston's pedestrian pastor, defeated Bill Hulse, America's 4:06 miler, in the Wanamaker mile, fea- ture of the annual Millrose games at Madison Square Garden tonight by three yards in 4:10.6. Johnny Fulton of San Fransisco's Olympic Club "scared to death of the board floor" by his own admission, was a surprise winner of the Mel Sheppard 600-yard run at the Mill- rose A.C. indoor track meet tonight at Madison Square Garden. Jimmy Herbert, New York Negro whoh da won the event four times in the past five years, challenged the westerner in the final strides but couldn't close the gap. Fulton's time was 1:21.1. Wolverine Matmen, Pucksters Win the puck on a quick break and push- ed the puck by goalie Dick Mixer at 14:55. This ended the scoring for the period. During the third period Michigan and Paris each made a goal, Greer again scoring with an assist from Abbey and right wing Paris player John Eastto making the tally for the Canadian club. goal, and it was Greer who first con- verted with assists from both Abbey and Jenswold at 2:25. One minute later, belligerent Jack Athens, who played an aggressive heads-up game throughout, shot from the boards on a pass from big Bob Derleth, and slipped, the puck past Paris goalie Dick Rutherford. Greer Makes More Two minutes after the second goal Ted Greer assisted by John Jenswold slammed another tally through, and at 7:05 driving down ice, completely unchecked, Greer again scored, mak- ing three goals for the fast-skating center in slightly under five minutes. The Paris defense tightened for the next three minutes and played the AT ANN ARBOR'S MOST FAMOUS RESTAURANT FRESH BROILED LOBSTER Rushed alive to our kitchen from the Atlantic Ocean and then broiled to a beautiful pink tint and served to you piping hot ... what could be more appetizing?
