By beating the Badgers in this, the first homg game in two weeks, the Wolverines can pull their Big Ten record up to the .500 mark before entering the home stretch of the 1944-45 cage campaign. Only four o MAHO more contests remain for the Wolver- ines after the Wisconsin tilt. Prospects are that Don Lund, who has been a pillar of strength at center all winter, will see more action than he did in the Indiana game last week- end, when he played only a few min- utes of each half. Victim of an ankle injury, Lund has shown rapid improvement this week and is almost fully recovered. Oosterbaan stated, however, that he was not yet sure whether his veteran ace would start. Same Sub Combination If Lund is not in the opening line- up, Oosterbaan will put the same combination on the floor which per- formed ably in the victory over Indi- ana. Forward John Mullaney shifts to center, and Keith Harder goes in at forward when the revised lineup is in action. Otherwise, the Wolverine quintet will have Bob Geahan, holder of sec- ond place in the Conference indivi- dual scoring sweepstakes, at the other forward, teaming with either Mul- laney or Harder. Walt Kell and Don Lindquist will again be in their fa- miliar guard roles. Patterson Heads Lineup Against this lineup Wisconsin will stake a somewhat taller outfit headed by veteran forward Ray Patterson. Teaming with the high-scoring Pat- terson at the other forward is Des Smith. Bill Bachman, a freshman, holds down the center berth, and Bill Johnson and Bob Sullivan, another freshman, are at guards. The Bad- gers, coached by Harold "Bud" Fos- ter, have won two and lost the same number in the Conference this year. Large Crowd at Iowa Following the Wisconsin fracas, the Wolverines will journey to Iowa City where a crowd of 12,000 is in pros- pect for the Iowa-Michigan game. The Wolverines lost to the Hawks, 29-27, in a hotly-contested encounter here two weeks ago. The Hawkeyes' fortunes were giv- en a boost this week with the return to the squad of Dave Danner, who tied for second place in Big Ten scor- ing last year with 193 points. Dan- ner, who has a medical discharge from the Army, has been with the squad only a few days and may not be in top shape. At the same time, Iowa announced that Stan Straat- sma, promising freshman forward, has been lost to the Army.

The first meeting this year saw the Wolverine pucksters take a 10-0 drubbing. These cont'ests are the only games in inter-collegiate com- petition on the schedules of both teams. The game will mark the continu- ance of two rivalries. One is the competition that always exists be- tween two Big Ten colleges and the other is a personal one between th e coaches, Michigan's Vic Heyliger and Minnesota's Larry Armstrong. Heyliger played on the Maize and Blue squads that opposed Annz- strong's Gopher sextets in '35, '36 and '37. In 1939 and 1940, Heyliger coached the University of Illinois teams that faced Minnesota.
