'MHURSAY, JANUARY 24, 1D40 n MICHIGAN DAIPE E PAGE 'IIlhEE Mc oy 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. BEER VAULT Beer - Wine - Mixers - Keg Beer' 10 to 10 Daily 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.

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."# S'wimmers To Meet Purdue Here Saturday Wolverines Favored To Capture Contest By CLARK BAKER When Purdue's swimmers come to town for their Saturday afternoon' clash with Michigan, Wolverine Coach Matt Mann will face one of his own products, Dick Papenguth, now coaching the natators at the Indiana school.

In that first meeting -11-r___l,_ 11.. ,A A.of the teams Michigan won handily, 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. L-1-1-ook out for those Kids.

Nor does it look like the Boiler- makers will be able to break into the winning column against Michi- gan this year.

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.
