Cagers Seek
Revenge Over
OSU Quintet
Victory Saturday
Will Even Series
By BERNIE MEISLIN
Michigan's unpredictable c a g e
squad will be out to do a little eve-
ning up Saturday night at Yost Field
House when the Wolverines seek to
avenge an early season loss at the
hands of Ohio State in a court battle
which will find the Buckeyes without
their spark plug and high scorer of
last season, 6 ft. 9 in. Arnold "Stilts"
Risen.
In Saturday's contest Michigan will
try to even three scores. The first aim
of the cagers is to bring their won and
lost record back to the .500 mark. A
win would give the hoopsters a Big
Ten record of four losses balanced by
four victories.
Cagers Lost at Columbus
It will be almost a month to the
day sine the last meeting of the two
teams when Michigan absorbed a 57-
40 beating at Columbus in a tilt
which Wolverine coach Bennie Oos-
terbaan termed, "One of the poorest
games we've played all season." The
cagers are out to even this year's
record with the Buckeyes.I
Since the start .of competition be-
tween the two schools 45 league
games have been played. The record
at the moment stands 23-22 in fa-
vor of O.S.U. There lies the third in-
centive for Maize and Blue victory
Saturday.
Same OSU Five Except Risen
At the moment Ohio State stands,
second in the Conference with five
wins and but one defeat. The Bucks
only loss was anupsetat the hands
of Indiana's surprising cage crew.
Outside of Big Ten competition Ohio
has dropped one game. This was a
two point loss to a star-studded
Wright Field quintet in the' Bucks'
second game of the season.
With the exception of Risen, Sat-
urday's crew will be the same O.S.U.
quintet that humbled Michigan by 17
points. However, any slack that Ris-
en's loss has caused in Buckee scor-
ing has been taken up by the remain-
ing regulars. Risen was forced to give
up his athletic activities because of
failure to meet required scholastic
standards.-
Al Underman has taken Risen's
place at center and has displayed ex-
ceptional ability at that position. In
five gapes Underman has racked up
50 points to stand 12th in Confer-
ence scoring.

OFF THE KEYBOARD
By MARY LU HEATH
Assoeiate Sports Editor
WESTERN CONFERENCE basketball teams are having their fun while}
they can. Tied up in a red hot race for the championship, and with
the lead changing hands at the completion of almost every weekend series,
periodic upsets are driving the fickle dopesters to despair.
The last we heard, Minnesoea was in first place, holding the breath-
taking distinction of being the only team undefeated in Big Ten compe-
tition. We look at this situation as purely temporary, in the light of that
old Brooklyn expression, "Wait till next year."#

Western Conference title for the second straight year. During the '42-43
season, the Illini won all 12 of their Big Ten outings, and lost none.
They collected 753 points, and held their opponents to 465. The team
closest to them in the standings was Indiana, who won ten and lost two.
"Guess who beat Indiana that year?
March 1 was a significant date for the Whiz Kids in more ways than one.
Andy Phillip, the high-scoring forward star for the Illinois quintet, set a
new Big Ten record for a single game, getting 40 points, nearly half of his
team's total. The 92 points scored set a new Big Ten record for marksman-
ship, too.
The Whiz Kids were the hottest things in basketball that year. Expert
after expert adjudged them the greatest basketball aggregation of all time.
4 SINGLE INDICATION of their power was the beating they had admin-
istered to Northwestern the Saturday before that final game with Chi-
cago. In swamping the Wildcats, 86-44, the Kids beat the eventual third
place winners. Their victories were certainly not recorded against a bunch
of "soft touches".
Next year, things may get back to normal-Whiz Kid normal--at Ill-
inois. Coach Doug Mills can forget this winter's debacle with few regrets,
since he looks forward to another record-breaking season with the Kids.
Jack Smiley, a brilliant guard in '42-43, is already back on the Illinois
campus. Ken Menke, a forward, has sailed for the States, and may be on
time to enroll for the spring term.
Neither Smiley nor Menke is slated to play this year, even in the final
games. They have only one year of competition left, and they are storing,
it all up for next winter.
Phillip himself, who broke practically every scoring record in sight while
he was with the Kids, is playing with a Marine team in Pearl Harbor. Guard
Gene Vance is an army captain in Germany. Both are expected home by next
winter. The final member of the team, 6 ft. 5 in center Art Mathiesen, is
the only one who won't be back.

ed their fourth in a row over Papen-

Nor does it look like the Boiler-
makers will be able to break into
the winning column against Michi-
gan this year. Papenguth has fourl
lettermen back from his 1944-45
squad, distance freestylers Morgan
Byers, Bill Freeman and James Dun-
lop, and back stroker Pete Hunting-
ton.
Hennigan In 220, 440
Dick Hennigan, a V-12 trainee, may
also gain points for Purdue in the
220- and 440-yard freestyle. Last
week he splashed to a win over
Tommy Gastineau of Great Lakes in
the 440 to pace the Boilermakers' los-
ing effort against the Bluejackets.
A discharged veteran, Major Wil-
lis, has also shown up well in the div-
ing for Papenguth's squad. Willis
was the only other Boilermaker to
break into the winning column
against Great Lakes. He beat out
Carl Quaintance in the divingevent.
But it looks as if Papenguth and
his Boilermaker swimmers will have
to wait another year for that initial
win over Michigan. The Wolverines,
appear to strong on paper for the
young Purdue squad.
