IvIIa , THEMICHIGAN DAILY T HE£ MICHIGAN DAILY PAr P. TIME Natators To Raise Curtain in State AAU" <. Wolverine Puckmen Prepare For Two Games This Week Rematch with Windsor Spitfires To Be Held Friday; Windsor Colonials To Compete Here After a brief one day vacation from practice following their victory over the Owen Sound Mohawks last Sat- urday evening, the Wolverine puck- ment settled down to more hard work yesterday in preparation for two con- tests this coming weekend. Play Windsor Again Friday evening Michigan's young hockey team will journey to Windsor, Canada to play a rematch game with the Windsor Spitfires whomn they de- feated in the opening game here Sat- urday. Coach Vic Heyliger's squad will meet the Windsor Colonials at 8 p.m. here, on the Coliseum ice. Although the Wolverines were vic- torious over the Spitfires in their first engagement, Heyliger warns that the Windsorites have made considerable improvement since then, winning over a highly rated Stratford, Ont. team 6-4 last week. Then too, the Spitfires will be playing on home ice, and that always is a big advantage in hockey, the Wolverines' mentor added. Cdlonials Strong The Colonials, Saturday's oppon- ents, are a Detroit sponsored team, but their players are all from Wind- sor. They reportedly have a strong alub, although little is known about them other than they will be playing in the Michigan-Ontario amateur league when that organization begins competition later this month. Meanwhile the Ivaize and Blue Sextet will continue to concentrate on the offensive angle this week, espe- cially where shooting the puck is concerned. Heyliger was enthusias- tic about the squad's win over the Mohawks and confessed that he couldn't find much fault with his ag- gregation. Sponris NEWS +VIEWS + COMMENT By BILL MULLENDORE, Sports Editor FOR THE SECOND TIME within a year, the ever busy rumor factory has turned out a report that Clarence L. (Biggie) Munn, Michigan's football line coach, will leave the University to accept a berth as head coach at some other institution. Earlier this year, it was reported that Munn would go to Iowa to replace Elmer (Slip) Madigan, but the move never materialized. Clem Crowe was signed to run the Hawk roost, and Munn stayed here in the job he has held since 1938. Now, the story goes, Munn may take over at Syracuse, where Ossie Solem has been given the gate for failure to produce a winner. At least, the reports say, Munn will be given first crack at the job. It would be a little premature to drag out the crying towels and lament the departure of Munn. As far as anyone knows, the Wolverine mentor has not yet been tendered an official offer by the Syracuse athletic department. Of course, if Munn should decide to sever his connections here, his loss would be a proper occasion for mourning on the part of every Wolverine football supporter. For Munn's contribution to Michigan's not inconsider- able grid success of recent years cannot be minimized. But we can see no use in getting all hot and bothered yet awhile. The situation, as we see it, contains no element of definiteness whatso- ever. Thus far, the whole thing is still in the rumor stage. FURTHER ACTION, if any, will probably not be taken until Munn returns to Ann Arbor at the end of the week from his current lecture tour. If Syracuse does make him an offer, it will almost certainly come at that time. Munn's acceptance of any such proposition is also problematical. Even though he has said he will "consider" a head coaching job, the fact that he reportedly turned down a similar position at Iowa shows that he is not jumping at just anything that comes along. Syracuse is not the power in the football world that Michigan is. Anyway you look at it, Syracuse is definitely among the second-raters on the gridiron. Whether a position as head coach at such an institu- tion is really an advancement over a line coaching berth at a school recognized as one of the traditional grid strongholds is a debatable point. Munn will have to decide that point, along with a lot of others, if he is approached by Syracuse. Until that happens, we can only adopt the course characterized by war correspondents as "watchful waiting." Thinclads Hold Annual Track Trials Friday Veterans, Freshmen Have Team in Meet Wolverine track fans will have their first opportunity to see the Michigan thinclads in action at 7:30 this Friday night when the annual intra-squad time trials will be held in the Field House between a team of "old timers" and one of freshmen. Swanson Named Captain Elmer Swanson, hurdler from the 1942-44.squads will captain the team of veterans coached by Dan Kinsey, while Hack Copeland will be the captain of the newcomers coached by Dean Rockwell. The Michigan coach Ken Doherty will act as time- keeper and scorer. The annual event has always served as a method of determining what the - various members of the team can do under conditions re- senbling actual meets. Seven Races Slated Seven running events and four field events are scheduled for the eve- ning. They are the 65-yard high and low hurdles, the 60-yard dash, the quarter, half, one mile and two mile runs, and the pole vault, shot put, and high and broad jumps. Some of the more promising fresh- man to see action on Friday night will be Hack Copeland and Bob Swain, in the 60, and Bob Shipp, who runs both the dash and 440. Bill Haidler, who has turned in the best time to date in the 440, Ron Soble, and Bob Sergeson are competing for positions running the quarter mile. The 880 will see newcomers Dave Hess, Herb Barten, and Joe Shea competing against lettermen, while Barten will also run the mile event. Bob Zaworski and Dean Voegtlen will run the two mile. Big Ten Champs Qpen Season Here Saturda Eiglt Letterneii, Vets, Forni Nucleus Of Squad; Mann's Son Among Starters By CLARK BAKER With dual competition less than a month away Michigan's Big Ten swimming champions will make their 1945-46 bow Saturday night in the Michigan State A.A.U. championships at the Intramural Building pool. In this initial test of the season for the Maize and Blue splashers Coach Matt Mann will exhibit most of his squad of 1944-45 lettermen, returning war veterans and promising freshmen. Eight men's events have been slated on the program and the Wolverines" will compete in all of them. The return of divers Alex Canja and Gil Evans from the service makes diving one ofMann's brightest spots this year. These two Maize and Blue HIGH MAN WITH 49: Harrison, Freshman Cager, Leads Teammates in Scoring In the free-style competition Mann has been blessed with a strong array of talent. Letterman Charley Fries heads the Michigan free-stylers witp Dick Weinberg, Dave Tittle, Chuck Moss, Jay Sanford, Frank Maple, Art Johnson and Chuck Barnes joining him in the 50-yard free-style field. Mann's Son To Swim The 220-yard free-sbyle race will mark the debut of Matt Mann III, son of the Wolverine mentor, in Maize and Blue colors. Young Mann was an outstanding swimmer last year at University High School. Splashing with him in the 220 will be Moss and Neville Adams. Eight Wolverines headed by letter- man Heini Kessler will represent the Maize and Blue in the 100-yard breast stroke event. They are Bob Matters, Bob Sohl, Bob Michels, Fred Ander- son, Hank Kuhlman, Stan Goldberg, and Nap Franico. Matters will also swim the 100-yard back-stroke event with teammates Willard Metcalf, Del Loeffler and Ed Stone. Two Handicaps Scheduled Two Wolverine relay teams will be entered in the 400-yard free-style re- lay. Tittle, Weiiberg, Mann and Moss will probably make up one quartet with Sanford, Johnson, Adams and Fries opposing them. Two handicapraces, a 75-yard free- style and a 75-yard individual medley, will complete the competition. Freshman Bob Harrison, young Michigan basketball star, has com- piled the highest individual scoring record on the Wolverine basketball squad to date, with a total of 49 points resulting from 22 field goals and five free throws. Selbo Rates Second Harrison is followed by center Glen Selbo, who has racked up 39 points and Dave Strack, varsity guard, with Munn Silent As Solem Vacates No further developments were re- ported yesterday on the rumored offer of the head coaching job by Syracuse University officials to Clar- ence (Biggie) Munn, Michigan line coach.: Munn, who is reportedly slated to get first bid on the position vacated by Ossie Solem, is still in Northern Michigan on a football lecture toter, and has made no statement on the rumor further than that he is "inter- ested." He is expected to return here sometime this weekend. Head Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler, is also out of town on a lecture trip, and could not be reached for com- ment on the Munn report. 24. Feinberg and Mullaney rate fourth and fifth in the scoring run with 17 and 16 points respectively. The neophite freshman forward, Harrison, who hails from Toledo, O., where he led his high school squad through asuccessful schedule, start- ed his first season of .collegiate com- petition off with a bang. In the open- er against Central Michigan Harrison led both teams"in the scoring column, coming out of the tilt with 19 points under his belt from eight goals and three charity tosses. Scores 15 Against- State Michigan State's quintet, which was toppled by the Wolverines,.47-39, failed to stop -the- youthful cager, who increased his total bag by 15, as a re- sult of seven baskets plus one gift shot. Last Saturday's Western Mich- igan encounter saw Harrison and Selbo tie for top honors, with 15 points apiece. All of Harrison's points were compiled in the first half, since he was put out of the game on a foul, which prevented him from increasing his margin in the second frame. MATT MANN .... the season rolls around color-bearers of the 1942-43 team should provide plenty of diving thrills Saturday. Rounding out the field of Wolverine divers will be Ralph Trim- born and Bill Smith. War Casualty M Club Meets To Reorganize Striving to reorganize the M Club that took its place in campus affairs before the war 14 of Michigan's let- ter-winners will hold a meeting at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Union. Elmer Swanson, Wolverine thin- clad, who is co-ordinator of the idea with Julie Franks, All American guard from 1943, said yesterday "We hope almost all of the lettermen from all teams will be able to attend the meeting." "We have a lot of plans for or- ganizing, now all we need is the sup- port of the men who hold the let- ters." Among the plans are social events both for M Club members only and events sponsored by the club. Other plans include taking a vital role in campus affairs, "a role that the M Club should hold." Wrestling Tourney To Be Next Week Coach Cliff Keen announced that preliminaries for the all-campus wrestling tournament would be held on Wednesday, December 18, and the finals on Thursday. Weighing-in will take place on Tuesday night, December 17.
