Coach Heyliger's crew did have one brief moment of triumph, how- ever, surging into the lead midway in the first period on two quick goals by Ted Greer, center and team cap- tain, after Eddie Robittaile had tal- lied for Vickers. This 2-1 margin was quickly wiped out as Al Hout and Al Maniko slammed home goals to lead 3-2 at the end of the firstj period. Vickers Pulls Away$ Vickers widened its edge steadily as the game progressed, counting four markers in the second stanza and five in the third. The 'Wolver- ines managed two goals in each period, as Greer and Johnny Jens- wold, speedy left winger, divided honors with three each to account for all the Michigan scoring. The Canadians dominated play from the outset, keeping the puck in Michigan ice most of the time. Only some fancy goal tending by Dick Mixer kept the Wolverine net free until 'Robittaile's goal at 12:401 slid by. Greer knotted the score two min-I ., ., , .. Campus Favored...

A minute and one- half later Greer picked up a loose puck at mid-rink and skated in on goalie Ted Anderson all alone to score and give the Wolverines a temporary lead. Make Comeback Vickers came back quickly as Hout lofted a long shot through a maze of players clustered around the goal mouth. Mixer did not see the puck until after it had entered the net. Seconds later a concerted drive gave Vickers another goal as Maniko slipped one in from the corner after snagging a pass from Robittaile. The second period saw Vickers strike for two scores in the first five minutes. Maniko got one on a re- bound as Mixer was sprawled on the ice from blocking another shot, and Robittaile added the other, catching a loose puck behind the Michigan net and hatting it in. .Ienswold Scores Jenswold then tallied his first of his trio of goals during a melee around the Vickers net, but Carl Kauppi matched it four minutes later on a solo dash the length of the ice. Vickers' next goal was a freak affair as Wolverine defenseman Bob Henderson inadvertently tipped in a rebound off Carl Kauppi's stick. Kauppi got credit for the.goal. Jens- wold made it 7-4 with his second goal, just a moment before the period ended. The final stanza started in a rush as the Canadians added to their lead. Ernie Kaneman scored first at :53 on a pass from Hout, and Maniko counted his third goal of the night just two minutes afterward. Hout slammed in a rebound at 7:37 to nmake it 10-4. Greer Tallies Again Greei' then made his second solo dash of the evening to register his third goal as hie out-skated two Vickers players to the goal mouth, but Robittaile matchegl it with an- other, also his third, making him the fourth man to complete the well- known "hat trick." BUY WAR BONDS, AS THE BASKETBALL teams in the Big Ten began to wind up their preliminary workouts in anticipation of their dual meets for the 1944- 1 45 season, pre-season dopesters figured that this year's Conference cham- pionship would either be retained by Ohio State. or these laurels would rest in Iowa City with the Hawkeyes. This prediction is gaining momentum as the weeks slip by, but the Iowa quintet his been more impressive than the Buckeyes to date, as they have more than lived up to their name, "tie Hawkeyes", by averagingI 73 points per game in posting six non-Conference victories, and they? met Minnesota last night in their first Big Ten competition. Coach Lawrence "Pops" Harrison's Iowa cagers have scored im- pressive wins over Western Illinois Teachers in their first game of the year, and have registered successive wins over South Dakota State, Nebraska, Denver, Notre Dame and Michigan State. Dick Ives, who as a freshman last year, lead the Big Ten scoring with 208 points, is again taking up where he left off last season, and his 89 points thus far is tops in the Conference. In addition to taking Conference scoring honors last year. Ives 327 points in M gaines set a new Iowa record, while his 43 points against Chicago set an all-time Con- ference high for scoring in a single game. LAST YEAR'S SQUAD featured Ives and Dave Danner, whose 193 poin enabled him to bag second place honors in the Big Ten scoring race, but their support was not too good. This year Danner is not compet- ing, but the return and added experience of co-captains Jack Spencer and Ned Postels, both 6 ft., 3 in. tall, plus the Wilkinson brothers, Clayton. and Herbert, who tower 6 ft., 4 in. in height and hail from the Univer- sity of Utah, fills out what many observers believe will be the best squad in Iowa history. Although many writers are claiming that Iowa is displaying cham-j pionship form, Coach Itarrison is reluctant to make any optimistic state- ments and he relates that "there isn't a Conference coach who doesn't! say, 'Boy, I'm glad that one's over." whenever he wins a game, no matter who he has played." This statement by Pops Harrison tends to indicate that Iowa is going to take each opponent as they come, without any cockiness. Along with this conservative attitude on the part of the genial coach, their high scoring ace going full blast, and the fact that the Hawks are blessed with scoring halance, as attested by the fact that only five points separates the averages of the first five scorers, it looks like a banner year for lowa.j Pops nearly had the makings last year when he lost a share in the Big Ten title by one point in the last 70 seconds of the final game of the year. Poos consoled his boys with a "Cheer up-there'll be another year." And from the looks of things this is the year, so if any other club has any title aspirations, they had better set their sights on this high-powered outfit from Iowa City. By The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Jan. 6-After tossing the lead back and forth nearly as rapidly as they did the ball, tllie University of Michigan tonight took the measure of the University of Illi- nois in the latter's Western Confer- ence opener, 43-38. Don Lund of Michigan, with 13, was high scorer of the game, but iti was Walton Kirk, Jr., of Mt. Vernon, Ill.. who took more bouquets as high scorer of the Illini, with 11 points. ! Kirk was not expected to play be- cause of a sprained ankle, but he stayed in the game a total of 381 minutes, and made four goals and three free throws. The encounter between two major, contenders for the Conference cham- pionship was, amazingly rough, Mi- chigan taking 18 personal fouls and Illinois 16, many of them double :fouls. The first quarter see-sawed with Michigan leading at the end of nine minutes, 10 to 7. Illinois rallied at 16-all and took the lead then 17 to 16 on a free throw by Jack Bur- master of Erin, Ill., who had been fouled by Mullaney of Michigan.
