Height and more height will plague
the Wolvewinecagers tomorrow night.
when the Western Michigan boys roll
into town with an eye toward annex-
ing their fourth straight win of the
season.
Coach Herbert "Buck" Read's
Bronco squad, although young, ap-
pears to boast all the physical at-
tributes of a top-notch quintet. With
an average height of 6 ft. 2 in., the
Brown and Gold has a definite edge
in that department over the smaller
Wolverine crew.
Forwards Robert White and Robert
Fitch,, and guard Andy Moses all
ineasure 6 ft. 1 in., while Don Boven,
who starts at center, tops them with
a 6 ft. 3 in, reading. High man on
the squad is Captain Melvin Van Dis,
lanky forward, whose height is record-
ed at 6 ft. 4 in.
Broncos Have Reputation
In addition to these statistics, the
Brown and Gold is preceded by a
reputation which spells trouble for
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's Wolver-
ines. Two early-season tilts saw West-

See Theat, Both!
Again this week as last, Mich-
igan winter sports fans will be
able to see both athletic events
scheduled for the campus tomor-
row.
Due to a new policy the bas-
ketball game between the Wol-
verines and Western Michigan
will begin at 7:30. The hockey
game will start 15 minutes after
the completion of the basketball
game, or approximately 8:45.
Identification Cards will serve
as admittance to the basketball
game and will enable the stu-
dent to attend the hockey game
at the special student rate of 40
cents.
ern overrun the Percy Jones Post five
and Calvin College's aggregation.
On top of this, the Bronco's all-
freshman crew was the instrument
of the big upset of the season to date.
Journeying to New York City, earlier
this week, the men from Kalamazoo
stood up to the powerful St. John's
University team, Wednesday night ir
Madison Square Garden, and edged
them out in a thrill-a-minute over-
time battle.
Overcome 20 Point Deficit
Trailing by 20 points in the second
period, the Bronco's pulled to withir
two points of the New Yorkers, with:
30 seconds remaining in the game.
Then, Moses stole the ball, dribbled
the length of the court, and sank thE
shot which tied the match, 53-53.
In the resulting overtime, Western cli-
maxed their uphill battle by downing
the tricky Easterners, 60-57.
Wolverines Show Progress
Reports from Michigan's Yost Field
House, on the other hand, testify to
the progress of Coach Oosterbaan's
undefeated squad. The Maize and
Blue cagers have two victories behind
them, one over the CentralrMichigan
combination and the other, a 47-39
triumph against Michigan State's
Spartans.
Oosterbaan declined to state defi-
nitely the starting lineup for tomor7
row's clash, but revealed that the
boys that started against State last
week would probably see action first.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This column was written by Ruth Elconin, Daily sports night
editor.
SPORTS FANS maintain that if you have never seen a hockey game, you
are really missing something. The exciting features of other sports,
they insist, are all rolled into one when it comes to hockey. It is a fast,
colorful game, and few fans ever walk out of an ice arena with the indifferent
feeling that they could have passed a more interesting evening playing
bridge.
In the past few years, hockey has merited increasing space on sports
pages. This is only to be expected, since attendance at ice matches has
definitely been on the up-swing. Only one evidence of this was the
capacity crowd which saw the Wolverine sextet open its season last
Saturday at the Coliseum.
One loophole in national collegiate hockey, however, is the lack of Big
Ten competition in this sport. The 1945-46 Maize and Blue squad is tackling
a 25-game schedule which is the longest and toughest since hockey became
a varsity sport at the University in 1923, but Coach Vic Heyliger's charges
will only meet one Conference opponent this year. That will be Minnesota.
THROUGHOUT the 22 years that hockey has been a recognized sport at
Michigan, the Wolverine sextets have only encountered three Big Ten
squads: Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. Other opposition has been
furnished mostly by Canadian colleges and amateur clubs. College teams
Michigan has engaged include Yale, Notre Dame, Princeton, Harvard,
Colorado College, and Michigan Tech.
We realize that during the war Conference schools were forced to discon-
tinue various athletic activities. But now that many colleges are returning
to peacetime schedules, we are wondering if more Big Ten schools will be
producing hockey teams.
Coach Heyliger believes that the basic reason for the empty ranks in
Big Ten hockey circles is the tremendous cost of building rinks. The
Maize and Blue mentor predicts that Conference teams will start pro-
moting hockey, now that the price of building materials has gone down,
and now that they are easier to obtain.
At a gathering of Conference officials last spring, Northwestern, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Ohio State mentioned plans to have puck teams by. 1946.
These same officials are holding a winter meeting in Chicago this week,
and we would like to see them keep plugging hockey in order to insure its
place as a. bona fide Big Ten sport in the future.
UNCLE COMES FIRST!
Varsity Teams Will Lose Key
Men to Selective Service Calls
Tom Bridges
Named New
Tiger Coach
By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec.r6-Tommy
Bridges, hard-working little right-
hand pitcher who won 193 games in
a 15-year playing career with the De-
troit Tigers, today was named coach
of Detroit's World Baseball Champ-
ions for the 1946 season.
Bridges, who returned late last sea-
son to the Tigers after two years of
military service and pitched a Labor
Day victory over the Chicago White
Sox, was one of two new coaches
taken on today by the Tigers.
The second is Frank V. Shellen-
back, 47-year-old former Pacific
Coast League pitching sensation and
manager, who was a coach for the
St. Louis Browns and Boston Red Sox
before becoming Detroit's New Eng-
land area scout a year ago.
13ase ball Czar
Is .Rebuffed by
Mintor Leagues
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 6 - -
Baseball's Minor Leagues, which up to
now have stayed out of Commissioner
A. B. (Happy) Chandler's fight with
some of the Major Leaguers, rolled up
their sleeves at their convention to-
day and jumped into it with fists
swinging.
Chandler appeared before the Min-
or Leaguers at their convention first
thing this morning and pleaded
against proposed legislation "offen-
sive and obnoxious to me personally."
His words had hardly ten minutes to
cool off before the moguls voted leg-
islation sharply curbing his powers
over Minor League ball, and from
there they went on to an additional
rebuff by refusing to amend their
player bonus laws which Chandler
has ruled "unfair and illegal."
Along with these developments was
the revival of a rumor that the Cleve-
land Indians may be sold, with Bing
Crosby crooning his way in as owner.

Preparing for their next test to-
morrow against the Ovwen Sound Ont.
Mohawks, the Michigan hockey squad
was given its hardest workout of the
week yesterday when they again
scrimmaged Jack Adams' Detroit Red
Wings at the Coliseum.
Coach Vic Heyliger was pleased at
the improvement shown by the youth-
ful Wolverines over last week's scrim-
mage with the Red Wings, but he
stated the Michigan defense was still
not covering behind the blue line
adequately nor giving the goalie the
protection they should.
Too, Heyliger stressed the fact that
Michigan was not shooting enough.
Plays Being Broken Up
"Many of our plays are being brok-
en up at the last moment. Our pass-
ing is good up to the opponents net,
but we just haven't been clicking
aropund their goal. That was very evi-
dent last Saturday night in the latter
two periods. Other than that the
team's skating and back-checking has
been very good."
With the return -of Chet Kuznier
to the squad, Michigan should be at
full strength for the Owen Sound tilt.
Kuznier, recently discharged from the
Navy, was kept out of last week's
contest pending determination of his
eligibility, but this was clarified this
week. He and Bob Arnot will alter-
nate at center of the third line.
Further good news was the return
to action of Clem Cossalter, Neil Cel-
ley, and Sam Steadman. All had been
suffering from colds earlier in the
week, but are almost certain to be
ready for Saturday's battle.
Marshall Shows Spirit
Bob Marshall's spirited play has
also been very much in evidence this
week, according to Heyliger, as the
big North Bay defenseman has fast
been rounding back into shape, fol-
lowing a siege of the flu which put
him in the Health Service two weeks
ago. ,
"We'll have to really be on our
toes for this Owen Sound game, for
they have an experienced team and
an experienced coach in Buddy Mar-
akle," the Michigan mentor declared.
He also indicated that Marakle, for-
mer International League star, might
also see action against the Wolver-
ines.

The war may be over in the sense
that hostilities have ceased, but the
effects of the war promise to continue
to turn the collegiate athletic world
upside down for at least another sea-
son.
The Selective Service law is still
in operation, and men, especially 18-
year olds, are still being drafted into
the Armed Forces in considerable
numbers. That means civilian per-
sonnel of college athletic teams will
still be subject to Uncle Sam's bid-
ding for the time being at least.
1946 Grid Team Affected
Among others to be affected will
be the 1946 Michigan football team.
Those who are counting on the re-
turn of this year's excellent crop of
freshman prospects are probably in
for a few disappointments. Most of
them, it appears, will not answer the
practice call next fall.
- Coach Fritz Crisler, for one, is not
counting on much help from his
promising contingent of yearlings in
'46. "Most of them," he said recently,
"won't be here next year. We'll have
to start pretty much from scratch
again."
Stars On List
Looking over the list of men af-
fected, Crisler pointed out that Walt
Teninga, Don Hershberger, Ed Mc-
Neill, Gene Hinton, Don Tomai ,
Dan Dworsky, Tony Momsen, and
several others will probably be gone
before another grid season rolls
around.
Every man on the list was a regular
in 1945. In all probability, all, or
most, of them would have been regu-
lars in 1946, older by a year, more ex-
perienced, and almost certainly bet-
ter football players.
Every one of them would be a'
welcome addition to any college foot-
ball squad in the nation. Their
probable 'loss constitutes a blow to
Michigan's hopes for the coming sea-
son, the effects of which can scarcely
be minimized.
Once again, Crisler will be forced
to rebuild his team from the ground
up, with only a sprinkling of veterans.
returning. Once again, the starting
eleven will probably be filled with
names unfamiliar to Michigan fans.
Other Teams f-lit Too
Other Wolverine athletic teams
either are feeling, or will shortly feel,
the axe wielded by the long arm of
the Selective Service officials. Sev-
eral members of the basketball,
swimming, and track squads may be
lost within the next few months.
