THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THnRE Initial All-Campus Wrestling Tournament Starts , Sextet Aims at Fifth Straight Win Tomorrow Wolverines To Oppose Sault Ste. Marie Team With four straight victories to its credit, Michigan's hockey team will be aiming for number five at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Coliseum when the pucksters encounter the Sault Ste. Marie sextet. Defense Practiced Defense tactics are the theme of this week's practice sessions since the, defensemen appeared faulty in cover- ing up in front of the net and did not take care of the break-away plays fast enough in last Saturday's tilt. The return of Clem Cossalter, varsity defenseman, to top form has bolstered the team. Cossalter was in- jured during scrimmage two weeks ago, and has seen little action since then, but i expected to play to- morrow. Little is known about the Sault Ste. Marie team, other than it is composed of experienced Canadian pucksters. Last season theWolver- ine's opponents captured 20 out of 22 tilts, and the Maize and Blue puck mentor expects tomorrow's engage- ment to be a tough game. Good GoalAverage Up to date Heyliger's charges have averaged almost seven goals a game. The Wolverines have been scored on 12 times while they have marked up 27 points. Leading the team in scor- ing is Bill Jacobson with six goals, and Wally Grant holds the distinc- tion of marking in every game. The Wolverines will play their first Big Ten game on Jan. 18, here, against Minnesota and will follow it up with a return match against the Gophers on the 19th. Prior to that, Michigan is scheduled to meet the De Lasalle Junior Club of Toronto, on Jan. 2, and Sarnia, on Jan. 5.

Closed Mondays . for TOASTED SANDWICHES HAMBURGS DRINKS CHATTEReOX 800 South State , 1 OFF THE KEYBOARD By MARY LU HEATH Associate Sports Editor WITH Jan. 1 approaching, the answers to the Associated Press's annual poll of questions on the outstanding sports figures and events of the year trickle into the headquarters of the news service from sports desks all over the county. With Daily sports interests centered in one college, it would hardly be fitting for us to speculate on the standouts in the national sports scene. But it is proper, we submit, to examine the AP questions from the Michigan standpoint alone. N Michigan teams had another of their customary top years. Conference titles were bagged by the swimming, indoor track, tennis, and baseball squads, with the other major aggregations pressing the Big Ten leaders. The basketball team gave Iowa, the eventual champions, a bad night of it one winter's evening in Yost Field House. The outdoor track squad won all its meets right up to the final all-out excursion, and finished second to Illinois in the Big Ten meet. And the golf squad lost out in the Confer- ence tournament only after it had beaten all its scheduled opposition, in- cluding the '45 titlist, Ohio State. The Associated questionnaire itself, while a survey of the entire sports field, deals with individual players and events as well as teams. We realize that we are sticking our neck out a la dopesters who make the weekly foot- ball predictions, but here goes, anyway. WHO WAS THE MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR?-There were many ,outstanding athletes at Michigan in 1945. Jack Weisenburger, the fresh- man who brought down major letters in football, basketball, and baseball to become a possibility as the first 11-letterman in Michigan history, is a leading contender for any "best" title. Joe Ponsetto, Michigan quarter- back who gained honorable mention on the All-American despite an in- jury which kept him out of action most of the season, is another. Our own pick is Ray (Red) Louthen, the pitcher who won eight games for the Wolverines. Louthen, a Western Michigan V-12 transfer, had beaten Michigan the preceding season, but turned the tables to defeat his former teammates last spring. He notched an amazing earned run average of 1.13 besides failing to drop a single decision. WHAT WAS THE OUTSTANDING TEAM?-We would say the Michi- gan football eleven fits that category most appropriately. Although they lost three games to the top teams in the country, the gridders came back in a strong finish to clinch second place in the Conference for themselves. Inexperienced at the beginning of summer practice, superlative coaching had molded them into a first-rate, smooth-working aggregation by the time the final whistle sounded at the Stadium. WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST SPORTS SURPRISE OF THE YEAR, TEAM, OR INDIVIDUAL?-Two overtime losses by the cagers fill the bill. In its first game of the season against the defending champions, Ohio State, the Wolverine quintet forced the Bucks into a 44-41 overtime. Called potentially the "top team in the country" by Basketball Coach Bennie Oosterbaan, the Ohio Staters left Ann Arbor with renewed respect for the Michigan squad. The same general pattern was followed midway in the season when the quintet held Iowa to a tie decided by another overtime decision which went to the Hawks, 29-27. Thirty-Two Grapplers Tangle at Feld House Keen Se s Semifinals, Finals for Thursday As Mat hopefuls Vie for Varsity Berths By CHUCK LEWIS Preliminaries and quarterfinals of the all-campus wrestling tournament will be held this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. on the mats of Yost Field House.

Pitcher NEW YORK, Dec. 18--(!)-Hank Borowy, a slender righthander whose sale by the New York Yankees to Chicago clinched the pennant and almost won the world series for the Cubs, paced the National League pitchers in both won and lost percen- tage and earned run average. Official 1945 pitching figures re- leased today showed Borowy's record of 11 wins and two defeats was easily the best and his earned run mark of 2.14 gave him a decided advantage over runner-up Harry Brecheen of St. Louis. be Sam Spevak, Bill Womendorf, and Sol Quackenbush. Footballers Ward Peterson and George Chiames will compete at 175 pounds with Bob De Nuyl, Sam Bos- worth, and John McGowan. The heavyweights wrestling in the tour- nament are Tom Jones, R. W. Sny- der, Stu Wilkins, Al Wahl, and Walt Blumenstein. The only two lettermen on this year's squad, Captain Bill Courtright and Art Sachsel, will not wrestle in the tournament but will be used in the capacities of referees. Gold medals will be awarded to the winners in each weight divi- sion, and every match will consist of three two-minute periods. This is the first bit of competition for' the wrestlers this season. * Basketball's Scandal Rings af Sombre Note (Continued from Page 1) fusing scores last winter after the New York scandals came to light." In connection with last year's ru- mors of gambling operations, The Daily was also asked by the Athletic Department to refuse scores of all Wolverine athletic events to telephone applicants. Players Discredited The 1944 investigations of basket- ball gambling, centering around games played in Madison Square Gar- den, finally resulted in the discovery that several members of the Brook- lyn College team had agreed to "throw" several games. At that time it was revealed that telephone calls seeking results of games played here were a common occurrence, although any suggestion that Michigan players might partici- pate in any "deal" were denounced as "impossible."
