Second Half Spurt
CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-( P)- After
being held on even terms in the first
six minutes, Michigan cut loose with
a scoring spree to overwhelm the
University of Chicago, 74 to 41, to-
night before a small student crowd
at the U. of C. field house. It wasj
the Wolverines' fourth Big Ten tri-
umph in 11 games.
The Maroons took an early 5-4
lead, then pushed ahead again at 7-6
before Michigan's attack began func-
tioning as forward Dave $track hit
the net for. five baskets and a free
throw. He was Michigan's top scorer
with 15 points.
Chicago's Fred DeGraw, however,
took high honors, collecting six field
goals and five free tosses while Tom
King, until last night the Confer-
ence's leading scorer, was held to a
meager total of six.
Center Elroy Hirsch paced the
Wolverines in the second half spurt
with five fielders for a game total of
13 points.
After capturing the lead in the
first half Michigan never relin-
quished it and had a 34-14 advantage
at the intermission.
The loss was Chicago's sixth in the
Conference this season, as against
no victories. The Maroons last Big

Holding Northwestern's swimmers
to but two first places, the University
of Michigan undefeated mermen
completedgtheir Conference dual-
meet season, by defeating the Wild-
cats last night, 54-30.
The Maize and Blue got off to a,
good start with Bill Cooley, Heini
Kessler and Ace Cory, by winning a,
close race over the Wildcats in the,
300-yard medley relay. Paul Maloney,
Wolverine distance star, took the
220-yard free style over his team-
mate, Achilles Pulakus and Wildcat
Kick Neff, who won the event in the
initial meet.

verine divers John Krygoski and Bob
Calhoun fared rather poorly against
the fine- exhibitions of Northwest-
ern's Ronny Thumble, winner of the
event in the previous dual meet, and
Bob Gunderson.
The 100-yard freestyle event was
won by 50-yard Conference champ
Mert Church of Michigan in :52:7,
six tenths of a second off the Big Ten
mark. He nosed out teammate Chuck
Fries while Northwestern's Rudy
Smalz placed a rather weak third.
Heini Kessler nosed out Wildcat Jim
Walsh to chalk up a first place for
Michigan in the 200-yard breast
stroke.
Maloney Wins 220 and 440
Bob Tribble of Northwestern re-
peated his previous meet perform-
ance by taking the 150-yard back-
stroke over teammate Dick Neff and
Michigan's Johnny McCarthy. The
Wolverines were paced by freshman
Paul Maloney who, besides winning
the 220, copped the 440-yard mara-
thon. Michigan's 400-yard free style
relay combination of Branch, Kop-
pin, Cory and Pulakus, outclassed the
Wildcats to take the event for the
Maize and Blue.
By their excellent showing last
night, the Wolverines will be the lo-
gical favorites to capture the team
championship in the Western Con-
ference meet next week at Evenston,
Ill. With such stalwarts as Church,
Fries, Maloney and Kessler, the Wol-
verines should bring the Conference
title back to Ann Arbor once more.
