The Wolverines, starting the game with the second forward wall, failed to score until 1:45 of the second stanza when center Carl Sulen- tich, assisted by wings Ted Greer and John Jenswold, shot the puck past goalie Bruce, Bindernagle of Waterloo. Fred Lounsberry, aided by Bob Henderson, made Michigan's see- ond goal of the evening in 7:05 of the second period. Henderson, with the assistance of Francis All- man, made a kill of his own near the end of the third period. Greer and Jenswold made a goal apiece in the overtime period to win the tilt .for Michigan.

McSpaden, Nelson Tie in Tournament NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12.- ()- Gangling Harold (Jug) Mcpaden faltered in the final round of the New Orleans Open Golf Tournament today, staggering in with a four- over-par 76 for a 284 total to end in a first place tie with Byron Nelson, Toledo, O. McSpaden shot his first sub-par round of the $5,000 tournament on the final 18 holes and had to score a last-hole birdie to gain a tie with Nelson who had finished earlier with a one-under par 37-34--71. At the 16th hole.and needing three pars to win, McSpaden pushed his second shot into a trap and finished the hole with a bogey 5. He missed a short putt for another bogey on the 17th and made a great approach to his tying birdie.

Michigan, showing excellent sports manship, agreed to have the rest per iod that follows the second an third stanzas held right then, so tha their opponents would work on Bin dernagle's leg in the hope that h might be able to continue to play. However, the injury proved to painful and cumbersome and, al though Bindernagle tried to finis out the period, he prudently decide to bench himself after two goal were scored by the Maize and Blue. Then Tom Claire took over the job of defending the Waterloo net; and because of his inexperience at this position Michigan was able to score the point that tied the tilt and forced it into overtime and the two tallies that finally won the game for Michigan. What would have happened i Waterloo's goalie were uninjured is; question that only a return encounte can answer. However, the Wolverines did th best poke-checking seen here so fa this year. Their body-checking an passing were greatly improved ove their former attempts. Michigan's goalie, Dick Mixer, turned in his best performance of shot-stopping so far this season. The points that were scored against him can, to a great extent, be at- tributed to the defensemen obscur- ing the puck from his vision until it was almost too late for him to do anything in the line of block- ing it. The Maize and Blue forward wa seemed to be almost unable to out maneuver Waterloo's defensemen an score and, for the most part, wer forced to tally after the puck wa already near the net. This was espe cially noticeable in Greer's case. I the previous games he was able t outmaneuver one or two defensemen but in this tilt he seemed unable t do so. WAITKUS WADES IN: of 'a er is t. d r- e ct, s- r- d [t l- e o 1- sd is Tracknen Miss Only One Event Twenty-Nine Men Place for Michigan In summing up the Wolverine thin- clads' performances in the Michigan Relays Saturday night, the scoring column showed that 29 men placed including every event on the program except the 3-4 mile relay. Michigan Had 85 Points This means that had team scoring been kept, Michigan would have grab- bed first honors with 85 points, Ohio State second with 54, Notre Dame third with 47, and Purdue fourth withj 40. Western Michigan, Michigan State, Marquette, and Case would have followed up in that order. According to performances so far this season, practice and meet, fif- teen men on the Michigan squad made their best showing in the Relay carnival. Of special note were Chuck Lauritson, who reached 13' in the pole vault, six inches higher than he had ever gone previously. Ted Balough, new timber-topper, cut his time in the high hurdles down to. :08.5, when he placed second behind Wilmer Jackson of Ohio State. In running the 3-4hmile in 3:19, Dick Gehring sliced his best time down by six seconds. He finished third behind Bill Tully, of Notre Dame and Bob Hume, last year's Wolverine cap- tain. Although the Maize and Blue squad dominated the money spots, their times were slow when compared to former years, and individual per- formances went to Ken Weisner, Marquette high jump star, Ohio f State's Wil Jackson, and Bill Lund, Case broadjumper. a r Weisner, Central Collegiate Con- ference champion last year, stole the spotlight, when he tied Don Can- e ham's Field House record of 6'6 3/8", r and passed the Big Ten mark by one d eighth of an inch. r Both the low and high hurdle crowns went to Jackson, and in tak- ing both the events, he became the meet's only double winner. Bill Lund, competing for Case School of Applied Science, had his own way in the broadjump, winning with a leap of 22'7'. Lund is the present National A. A. U. champion. Track Meet Saturday It was announced yesterday, that Saturday will see another track spec- tacle take place in the Yost Field l1 House, as two Michigan squads take - on Great Lakes and Western Michi- d gan, in two separate dual meets. e This means that the whole Wolver- .s ine aggregation will see action in - preparation for the coming Confer- n ence meets. Great Lakes has includ- o ed in its roster, Grover Klemmer, , holder of the world's record for the o 400-yard meter dash. His mark of 46 seconds fiat has stood since 1941. WALLY WEBER - Michigan's wrestling mentor has, in his first season in that capacity, produced a squad that is a serious threat to capture its second consecutive Western Conference championship. Matmnen Start Preparing for Big Ten Meet Johnston, Galles Stay Unbeaten All Season By STAN SAUERHAFT After completing a gruelling dual meet season last Saturday by draw- ing with Minnesota, 14-14, Michi- gan's wrestling team is preparing for the most important meet of the seas- on-the Conference Championship Meet to be held in Evanston Friday and Saturday of this week. The Wolverines record against theI six Big Ten teams that they engaged is 3 wins, one loss, and 2 ties. Against Minnesota last Saturday, Michigan uncovered another pin artist in Art Sachsel, who chalked up his first fall of the campaign by pinning Nick Togami in 4:38. Bob Johnston then took an easy decision over Bill Fritz to keep his unbeaten string alive. However, Newt Skillman went down to defeat in the next match at the hands of Joe East- ling of the Golden Gophers, thus having his winning streak halted at three straight. Fed Booth put the Wolverines back on the right side of the ledger when he won a 11-3 decision over Bob Jensen in the 145-pound class. In the 155-pound division, unde- feated Dick Nelson beat George Dar- row, 6-2 and Ed Baker put the Go- phers within two points of Michigan as he scored a 9-4 decision over Charles Telfer. But dependable Jim Galles had no trouble in subduing Chuck Loudjeff to put the Wolverines back into a five-point lead. How- ever, Bill Aldworth of Minnesota scored a fall over Phil Holcombe in 4:01 to knot the final count at 14-14. In preparation for the champion- ships next week, Dick Freeman is at- tempting to sweat down from 128 pounds to 121 pounds in order to challenge Art Sachsel for leadership in that bracket. However, one difficulty that has cropped up just recently is Charles Telfer's orders to report for his out- fitting in Detroit Saturday. If Tel- fer can not get a postponement of this order he will not be able to compete in the Conference Meet Sat- urday, thus depriving the Wolverines of one of their standout grapplers. De Paul Will lay Sailors on Friday CHICAGO, Feb. 12-(P)-DePaul University's once-beaten Blue De- mons, whose 6-foot, 9-inch George Mikan has averaged more than 20 points in 18 games, put their current No. 1 national basketball rating on the line against the powerful Great Lakes' Blue Jackets here Friday night. The Bluejackets, coached by youth- ful Forrest Anderson, former Stan- ford star, have been one of the busiest service quintets in the country. Now nearing the end of a 37-game sched- ule, the speedy Sailors have won 27 games and lost only four. They -have averaged a game every other night throughout the season. BUY WAR BONDS I '3I 'agers Drop Two Encounters Badgers, Wildcats Defeat Wolverines Hopes of Michigan's basketball team for a .500 percentage record for the current Big Ten season died over the weekend as the Wolverines were the victims of a 49-34 setback at the hands of Northwestern Friday night and a 55-44 defeat by Wisconsin the following evening at Madison. 'M' Has .364 Percentage These two losses brought the cag- ers to a .364 percentage in Big Ten competition with four victories and seven defeats: a mark which will be either raised or lowered, according to the results of the last game of the campaign Friday with Northwestern. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan, sum- ming up the attitude of himself and the team toward the disastrous week- end, said that they were "disap- pointed at the outcome." Ooster- baan attributed the two losses mainly to the fact that the Wolverines were not shooting as well as earlier in the season. Pointing to the statistics of the Northwestern game, Oosterbaan said that Michigan took 21 shots to 66 for the Wildcats, but emerged from the contest with a meager 17 percent average. This mark was more than ten points below the usual 28 or 30 percent of shots which the Wolver- ines are accustomed to sink in one game, he noted. With more chances than usual, the quintet was unsuccessful in netting the same kind of shots that they had been attempting more effectively all season. Even at Wisconsin, the Wol- verines took more chances at the basket than usual, although the Bad- gers were also trying for a fair num-. ber of markers. Patterson Caused Downfall Oosterbaan stated that Wisconsin's Ray Patterson, playing in his fifth year of Conference competition with a record of several seasons at center on the all-Big Ten squad, spelled the, difference between victory and defeat in Saturday's contest. "If we had been playing up to our usual standards, we would have beat- en Wisconsin," Oosterbaan stated. "The five men on the floor for Mich- igan were ready for a tough fight, and they played as hard as they had all season. They battled their hearts! out." The first half of the game at Mad-! son was a see-saw affair, with the lead changing hands eight times be-! fore the Badgers achieved a 29-21 advantage over Michigan. "Charlie Higgins deserves spe- cial recognition for his freestyle swimming in both relays," Mann continued, "twice recording :56 time, his fastest of the season, and six seconds better than his time in the Great Lakes meet." Long-distance man John Zimmer- man again turned in a successful performance in both the 220 and 440 freestyle encounters. At the be- ginning of the former event Zimmer- man secured a position at the heels of Wolverine Captain, Mert Church, retaining this spot throughout the race to place second to his experienc- ed team-mate. In the 440 tilt the young Maize and Blue charge finished two full lengths of the pool ahead of his nearest op- ponent, Victor Rotering of Minnesota, to clinch a 5:26 victory. Other outstanding Wolverine contenders were breaststroker S aRal Chubb and backstrokers Harry Westerberg, and Ed Ftolk- man. Chubb and. Fulkman reom- bined their talents in the 300-yard medley relay, with a resulting 3:09.5 triumpjh for the Michigan squad. Fulkman pulled ahead of Gopher Roland Tomssen, in the 100-yard backstroke leg of this event, and Chubb surprised everyone by holding the early lead against Minnesota's powerful breaststroker, Vernon Oje- mpa. Higgins sewed-up the race for the Maize and Blue in the freestyle anchor leg. Neophite, Westerberg, snared his first honors of the year by placing third to team-mate Gordon Pulford, and Tommsen, in the 150-yard back- stroke contest. As usual Michigan stalwarts Church, Pulford, Chuck Fries, and Bob Mowerson came through with point-garnering per- forniances for the Maize and Blue, Church was top scorer of tie meet, capturing first place honors in the 220 and 100-yard freestyle Micigan Swirmers Beat Gopher Mermen (Ioach Matt Mann Uses Younger Reserve Members of Squad in Saturday's Events Michigan's swimming squad proved itself to be one of the chief con- tenders for Big Ten and national honors by handing the Minnesota crew a severe, 50-34, drubbing last Saturday in the Maize and Blue's Varsity Pool. The strength of the Wolverine crew was further accentuated by the fact that Coach Matt Mann, tutor of fourteen championship Michigan squads, made frequent use of the younger reserve members of the team in piling up the high winning point total. Commenting on the performance' of these "lesser lights," Coach Mann tilts. Fries just managed to nose stated, "I am very well pleased with out team-mate Mowerson in the the boys' showing, and expect big 50-yard freestyle dash to cop a things from all of them in the near fast :24.3 victory and pulled the futire. i- . - t.
