Meet Saturday

Undefeated Wolverines Expected
To Win Title over Northwestern

Double Trouble

Wrestlers Are Favored
To Take Championship


By JIM LEWY
All Conference schools will have a
chance to make their bids for the
Big Ten swimming championship
for 1944 in the Northwestern pool on
Saturday night.
Michigan's Wolverines will have
the best chance to take the title,
their 14th in 18 years. With two
of the country's best freestylers in
Mert Church and Charlie Fries plus
a fine all-around team, Matt Mann's
charges will be the logical favorites
to capture the crown from their op-
position.
Northwestern and Purdue are ex-
pected to place second and third, res-
pectively, in view of their past sea-

son's record. The Wildcats lost to
the Maize and Blue twice, but by
comparatively close scores. The Boil-
ermakers also lost to the Wolverines,
and possess an inexperienced team
composed largely of V-12 transfers.
Nakama Favored in 220, 440
Keo Nakama, standout of Ohio
State's yearling bunch, is expected
to take the 220 and 440-yard swims
with close competition from Wolver-
ine national AAU outdoor-champ
Paul Maloney. Achilles Pulakus may
also pick some points up for Michi-
gan in the 220-yard event.

probably be Heini's only competition
in the same event in Evanston.
Wolverines Expected To Win
Michigan entries are favored to
win at least four of the nine events
that make up the meet, and to place
heavily in all races in the matter of
seconds, thirds and fourths. By the
stellar performances of Church, who
won the 50-yard championship last
year, and Chuck Fries, who paced
Church all season, the Wolverines
should take a first and second place
in both the 50 and 100-yard free style
swims.
Expected to provide Michigan and
Northwestern with stiff opposition
are squads from the unbeaten Go-
phers of Minnesota and mermen from
Iowa University who have given all
opponents good fights this year. In-
dividual honors will be contested by
Purdue's Capt. Phil Hansel and Iowa's
Bernie Walters.
The Wolverines will enter the na-
tional collegiates at Yale March 23
and 24 and the national AAU cham-
pionships in Ann Arbor on the fol-
lowing week-end. As usual Coach
Mann will be expecting big things of
"his boys" in these following meets.
Lowrey-May
Schedule More
Hocke Games
Possibilities are that if Michigan's
hockey squad remains intact at the
beginning of the second semester,
Coach Eddie Lowrey will schedule
some additional games with teams
who have wanted a chance to meet
the Maize and Blue outfit.
Lowrey has had several calls from
Ontario teams that would like to
take on the varsity squad, and since
there seems to be a constant im-
provement in the quality of Wolver-
ine play, Lowrey is perfectly willing
to give the boys additional oppor-
tunities to prove their skill. How-
ever, whether the plans will be car-
ried out or not, depends entirely on
what portion of the squad remains
after final Navy and Marine orders
have come through.
The status of Navy men on the
squad, which includes defensemen
Bob Henderson and Tom Messinger
and linesmen Ted Greer, Jack Ath-
ens, John Jenswold, Gordon Ander-.
son and Phil Breitmeyer, will not be
fully ascertained until after final
examinations are over, so Lowrey is
not making any extensive plans until
that time.
However, if the larger portion of
the team is still available second
semester, and particularly if the two
sixty - minute defensemen return,
games will be arranged for second
semester.
Saturday finds the varsity crew
taking on a club from Brantford,
Ont. in the last scheduled game of
the season. The game promises to be
a good one, since the Brantford squad
has been playing excellent Ontario
outfits all season. Several of the
players who came here with the
Paris, Ont. sextet, which took a 6-2
drubbing from the Wolverines, will
be on hand to play with Brantford,
Ott Wins Contest

Michigan To Be on Spot
Michigan will be on the spot when
they enter the finals at Evanston, as
all of the teams participating will be
gunning to upset the Wolverines' title
hopes. However, the main threat will
Come from the Boilermakers of Pur-
due, who are still smarting under the
decisive score which Michigan rolled
up against them, and will be out for
revenge.
Purdue has won three OUt, of five
dual meets and Coach Claude Reeck
will enter three undefeated men at
Evanston: Dan Nettersheim at 136_
pounds, who, was runner-up for the
title last year;. Art Aerne, a V-12
transfer from Illinois, who has won
all of his matches in the 145-pound
division; and Jack Shepard, a Navy
trainee from Iowa, in the 165-poundj
class.
Widcats Have Stars
Northwestern has two outstanding
prospects in Dick Eggers, heavy-
weight, who has won all five matches
this year, and Ned Nethercot, 128-
pounder,_
Jim Galles and Bob Reichert have
paced the Maize and Blue through
the season, being the only two un-
defeated men on the squad, and they
will be gunning for individual titles.
However, every loss that has been
administered to the individual wrest-
lers this year has been close, and
could have gone either way, indi-
cating that if the Wolverines cannot
garner too many first places, they
will have ample runner-up men to
give them enough points for the title.

CINDER SPEEDSTERS:

Heme Twins, Ilistaln-e Stars,
Show Promise of Fine Year

By BILL LAMBERT
Bob Hume, captain of the 1944
track squad and most improved man
on the team; Ross Hume, 1943 hold-
er of the Conference indoor mile title
-put these two elements of speed
together, and you have, as Coach
Ken Doherty puts it, "The best pair
of mile prospects in Michigan track
history."
The Hume twins, who are fast
gaining fame for their dual achieve-
ments on the cinder-path, are com-
peting in their second season of col-
legiate competition, and already show.
that they are capable of setting some
new records--preferably shoulder to
shoulder. Their practice time trials
this year indicate that if nothing
unforeseen happens, they should run
to victory in both the Conference in-
door and outdoor mile run.
Feat Would Be Unique
If the two can achieve this goal of
"dead heating" the mile, it will mark
the first time in track history such
a feat has been turned in. This sys-
tem of working together and pacing
each other requires constant practice
and the utmost of teamwork. H. Les-
lie Carroll holds the Michigan outdoor
mile record of 4:16.4 which both Bob
and Ross are hoping to lower before
the season ends. They have not
reached their peak of conditioning
yet, and as a result may not be able
to break the indoor record.
Of the two, Coach Doherty says
Bob has shown marked improvement
over his performance of a year ago.
Ross has been hampered somewhat
this season by a throat ailment which
his forced him to miss practice on
several occasions, and as a result, Bob
is in slightly better condition.
Twins Are Pre-Med
The Humes, who are 21, are both
pre-medical students in the Univer-

sity and both are in the Army en-
listed reserve. At Canonsburg, Pa.,
they were mainstays of their high
school track team and then prepped a
year at Shadyside Academy before
entering Michigan in 1941.
The twins are not content with
running the mile, but are both highly-
rated in the 880-yard run. The suc-
cess of Michigan's two-mile relay
team last year in winning seven
straight and capturing the Millrose
title in the first outing this season,
has been in large part due to the
Hume twins who are stellar perform-
ers in this qiartet.
