Startling Victory ir Madison Square Gardeni OFF THE KEYBOARD By MARY LU HEATH Associate Sports Editor I P By HANK KEISER< 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- Collier's Picks Its All-America Football Team By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Dec. 6 - The 1945 All-America Football Team selected by Collier's magazine includes four players from the all-victorious Army squad and two from Alabama's Rose Bowl eleven, it was announced today. John Green, Army guard, is the only member of Collier's 1944 team to repeat this year. THE TEAM: Vaughn Mancha, Alabama, Center Warren Amiling, Ohio State, Guard John Green, Army, Guard George Savitsky, Pennsylvania, Tackle Dewitt Coulter, Army, Tackle Richard Duden, Navy, End Hubert Bechtol, Texas, End Herman Wedemeyer, St. Mary's Quarterback Glenn Davis, Army, Halfback Harry Gilmer, Alabama, Halfback Felix Blanchard, Army, Halfback 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. e t Y S 1 1 r i P'- -- I 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. By DES HOWARTHR 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.

By BILL MULLENDORE r Daily Spor'ts Editor 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. I-M Results Sig Ep 62, Theta Chi 12. A.T.O. 36, Phi Gam 27. Sigma Chi 36, D.K.E. 19.
