15, I9C5 THE MICHIG~AN DhAILYV PACE THREF. , a a .a t!'t L L7. y, L 1 Thinclads Mt ==e eAL (-reat akIes, roncos a7day Cagers Meet Northwestern Friday Wolverines Aim To Revenge Last Week's Wildcat Triumph Two Leading Scorers Clash in Season Finale Winding up its current Western Conference campaign, the Michigan basketball team will face a North- western quintet which has already trimmed the Wolverines once this season, tomorrow night at Evanston. The contest will take place just a week after the game here in which the Wildcats took the measure of Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's squad by a 49-34 margin. Northwestern led the Wolverines from a point early in the first half until the end of the game in Friday night's fracas, al- though Michigan made several bids in the last perio dto catch its high- flying opponents. 'The victory was something of an upset, as the Wol- verines were favoied to win with little difficulty from a Northwestern team whose record had been hitherto sig- nally unimpressive. Conference Positions Depend on Tilt Tomorrow night will find the posi- tions of the two fives considerably al- tered. The seventh-place Northwest- ern squad will have been encouraged by its previous victory over the Wol- verines, and will have the added ad- vantage of playing on its home court. Sixth-place Michigan, on the other hand, is overdue for a win, having lost its last three starts to Iowa, the Wildcats, and Wisconsin. The Wolverines' chief task will be to stop Max Morris, Northwestern center. Morris, who leads the Big Ten scoring lists with 142 points in nine contests, was held scoreless dur- ing the first half of the earlier tilt between the teams, but made 11 points in the second stanza to cop second in individual scoring honors for the evening. Guard Frank Wright topped Morris' total with 12 points. Geahan Meets Leading Scorer The game should prove interesting also in that Michigan's Bob Geahan is second to Morris in Conference UJ scoring. Geahan and Morris are sep- arated by 32 points, and although a tie between the two is out of the realm of possibility, the Michigan forward could do much to narrow the margin between himself and his opponent. Coach Dutch Lonborg's starting lineup is improbable, as it has been subject to various shakeups all season long. In the contest here, Lonborg started Ben Schadler and Fred John- son at forwards, Morris at center and Frank Clawson and Wright at guards. Duane Sickels, brother of Quentin Sickels, guard on this season's Wol- verine football team, substituted at forward for the Wildcats. Quinn Retires From Braves BOSTON, Feb 14 -(P-Bob Quinn, president of the Boston Braves, an- nounced tonight on his 75th birthday that he would retire from that post to devote his time to development of an extensive farm system for the National League baseball club. He predicted that baseball would be faster than ever after the war and expressed the hope that he would live to see the Braves develop a world. champion club. He based his speed forecast on the assumption that many big leaguers called to the colors would come back as good if not better than when they went away, and that a lot of clever youngsters-some in the services- would have developed meanwhile. As for his own world champion- ship hopes, Bob said, "I think we have a fairly good ball club now. If we can get some of the topnotchers in the service we'll have a team that will make them all go."

There have been a few changes in the hockey schedule, and. the dates for the remaining contests are West- ern Ontario University March 2, and the London Athletic Club March 3. The following week the sextet will again play two weekend matches when they encounter, for the sec- ond time Vickers A. C. on Friday, March 9, and the next night the squad will face the Owen Sound Orphans. The final game of the year will be on March 17 when the rinksters oppose the Middlesex and Huron Regiment. Pucksters To Have Long Practice With a two week lull before the next hockey contest, Coach Vic Hey- 1 liger's charges will be able to im- prove their defensive work which is being stressed in practice scrimmages. Also, the Maize and Blue first line of center Carl Sulentich, and wings John Jenswold, and Captain Ted Greer are emphasizing shooting plays, while de- fensemen Bob Henderson and Herb Upton will stress covering up in front of the net. Facing Western Ontario the Wol- verine hockey team will have a chance to climb above their .500 average for the first time this season. Having been successful over Sarnia, .Brant- ford, and Waterloo, but dropping games to Vickers and two matches to Minnesota, the Michigan record is I now balanced with three wins against the same number of losses. To date the top goal getter for the puck squad has been Greer who has netted 12 markers in six tilts, followed by Jenswold who has crashed the. opponents goal five times. Sullentich is third with three markers, and Bob Lilienfield, Henderson, and Fred Louhsberry have counted for one goal apiece. By TALL LAMBERT For the first time in the history of Michigan track competition a pair of dual meets between two Wolver- ine squads, Great Lakes and West- ein Michigan. will be run off at 7:30 Saturday night in the Yost Field House. Coach Hen Doherty will divide his team tip, with the first squad meeting the Bluejackets, and the second com- peting against the Broncos. Accord- ing to coach Doherty, "this new type competition will not involve any de- lay, and will present a full array of competitors for the track fan." After dominating last week's Mich- igan Relays by grabbing six firsts, the Maize and Blue thinclads are fav- ored over the Sailors, Western Mich- igan, although not showing too well against the other Midwest powers last Saturday, should garner some points with their individual stars, Bill Porter, crack sprinter and hurdl- er, and Bill Moore, former Drake pole vaulter who nearly equalled the Field House record in the Relays. This week's meet, which will be the last home meet of the indoor season, will see the Hume twins run- ning together in the mile for the first time this ,year. Last year the Humes captured the Conference mile titles in a dead heat, and it will be a chance to see whether they can make a re- peat performance in 1945. On of the. feature events of the Wolverine Squads Vie in itioa I Do u b l Final Indoor Home Meet Promises To Hold T'ans' Interest; Hume Twins To Run in Mile evening's program, will be the dual in the 440-yard dash, where Dick Forrestel, who placed third for Mich- igan in the Mel Sheppard 600 in the Millrose Games, will encounter Grov-, er Klemmer, Great Lakes dash ace, who now holds the world record for the 600 meter dash. Forrestel, turned an akle in the Millrose classic, but probably will be set to toe the mark Saturday night. In any event the 440 will be a stand- out, from the standpoint that it is the first individual race for this dis- tance in Michigan's meets this season. The half mile will find Dick Bar- nard, who ran on the distance med- ley relay team Saturday, and George Vetter, who showed plenty of power in winning the open 660, running for the Wolverines. Individual events will be run off Saturday, and individual scores of the two meets will be kept separately. The program will give the entire Michigan squad actual collegiate competition, in preparation for the defense of their Conference title next month. Barber Services to fit your need.

Lopez is a short well-built fellow with a dark complexion and a win- ning smile. He was born in Ecuador in a little town called Quito, and he is now attending Medical School, here at Michigan. Up until the beginning of this semester,tthree monthsago, Lopez had never taken a dive off a spring- board, but when tryouts for the swim- ming team were announced, he showed up bright and early and de- clared his intentions for the diving events. Diving Most Difficult Event At this point it ought to be pointed out that diving is one of the most exacting and arduous of all the differ- ent divisions which collegiate swim- ming competition offers. It demands first of all the utmost coordination and equilibrium between the differ- ent sets of muscles in the body. An almost superhuman sense of balance and the prime ideal of timing are necessary. On top of these qualities, a good diver must have a tremendous capa- city for persistent practice, and also plenty of "guts." All the spectators who witnessed the Michigan-North- western meet, and viewed the diving performance of Carl Quaintance, will testify to the last statement. Quaintance Thrilled Throng On at least two back flips, Quain- tance came within three inches of the board on his way down. The sharp gasps and quick inhaling of breaths on the part of the spectators were suitable evideice that no more than two per cent of the crowd would have undertaken the same feat. Notwithstanding these obstacles, Lopez who had never dived before set intercollegiate diving as his goal, and All men interested in trying out for the baseball squad should report to Yost Field House Monday, March 5. Baseball Coach Ray Fisher has announced. All candidates are re- quested to bring their own equip- ment. took all the steps necessary to the acquisition of that goal. Mann stated three days ago that at the beginning of the season, he had to plead with Lopez to attempt several of the dives, especially the back dives. "Now," he continued, "Lopez goes through every dive with the assurance and nonchalance of a veteran." Lopez is by no means as yet an accomplished diver. His faults are numerous and obvious in some cases. He is still nervous in competition, a nervousness which prevents him from making the most out of each dive. Next Year Will Tell However he has come a long way towards the winning of his goal, and with more practice and experience in big-time competition, Mann firmly believes that at least by next year, Michigan will once again have a diver, who will present a formidable obstacle to the diving hopes of the other swimming teams in the Con- ference and in the nation. Spartan S wimnringr Team Enters AAU Michigan State will send seven swim- mers to Boys' Club, Detroit, Friday to compete in the first of three meets of the Michigan AAU swimming championship, Spartan coach Charles McCaffree announced today.
