Two weeks ago the Wolverines downed Northwestern 47-34, in their Big Ten debut. Both the Boilermakers and the Maize and Blue have met Great Lakes this year, Purdue losing its lone start to theBluejackets, 53-32, while Michigan broke even with the Sailors. Diving Event Featured Feature event of the evening may be the diving where Coach Matt Mann's aces, Alex Canja, Gil Evans, I-M Results Alpha Tau Omega's "A" team com- piled the highest score ever recorded by any team in Michigan intramural basketball last night when it racked up 90 points to down Theta Chi, which only managed to garner 18.

Canja is unbeaten in college competition this year while Evans has been beaten only by his teammate. Boilermakers Look Tough Both Wolverines turned in wins over Great Lakes' Carl Quaintance in their two showings aginst the Sailor diver. Willis, too, holds a decision over Quaintance and may give the Maize and Blue divers plenty of com- petition. Matt Mann, III, figures to get his first real test of the year in the 220- yard freestyle event when he races Purdue's ace, Dick Hennigan. The Boilermaker star set a new Purdue record in beating Sailor Tommy Gas- tineau last week. Both freestylers are unbeaten in college competition. Metcalf Seeks Win Another interesting race may come in the back stroke where Michigan's Willard Metcalf and Purdue's Pete Huntington, a letterman from 1944-5, clash. Metcalf who has had some stiff competition thus far this season, may finally break into the winning circle. The Wolverine freshman backstrok- er has been unlucky enough to face such stars as Michigan State's Howie Pattersdn, Northwestern's Bob Tan- nehill, and Great Lakes' Dick Weedin in his initial collegiate efforts. Depending on how the opening events turn out, Mann will probably juggle his line-up to give most of his promising freshmen a chance to show their stuff before a home crowd. 1 f 1 t 1 JACK UNDERMAN - filling Arnie Risen's shoes at center for Ohio State. He's garnered 50 points in five Conference matches and rates 12th in Big Ten scoring. Michigan's varsity wrestling team will stage its first home match of the season 'when the grapplers take on the Purdue Boilermakers, defending Big Ten champs, this Saturday night after the Michigan-Ohio State bas- ketball game in the Yost Field House. The team has been working hard to correct the mistakes it made in losing to Indiana last week. Coach Cliff Keen expects his charges to give a much better showing when they face the Boilermakers Saturday. Purdue Strong Purdue is considered a bit stronger than the Hoosiers, but Keen feels that his charges will give them a tough fight and is optomistic about the fu- ture. A slightly different lineup will face Purdue than was used in the last match. At 121 pounds, Jim Stark, sophomore engineer from Lewiston, N. Y., who beat his Indiana opponent, still seems to get the call over Forrest Dayton as a result of intra-squad matches this week. John Allred still retains top honors among the 128- pounders. Smith To Wrestle At 136 Wayne Smith, who grappled at 145 last week, will tangle in the 136- pound class against Purdue, while either Art Clements or Ken Jobson will break into the lineup at 145 pounds. Jobson has a minor injury so Clements may get the nod. Stu Snyder is kingpin in the 155- pound bracket but is closely contested' for the top spot by Earle Russell. Captain Bill Courtright, who gained the only fall in the Indiana meet, will again tangle at his weight of 165 pounds. Dworsky Will Start George Chiames and Ward Peter- son are battling it out to see who will face Mike Rajcevich, Big Ten Conference champion at 175 pounds. Ex-gridder Dan Dworsky will proba- bly wrestle again for Michigan in the heavy weight class. Claude Reeck, Purdue mentor, will bring his' matmen here Saturday after encountering Michigan State's Spartans Friday night. The Boiler- makers defeated Illinois, 20-6, last Saturday at Lafayette. MSC Will Face Bucks Saturday EAST LANSING, Jan. 24, ()-Two untried track squads, Michigan State and Ohio State, will compete in a dual meet here Saturday. The Spartans have returning let- termen in eight events, with the main power in the pole vault where three players have done better than 13 feet in practices. The team also has weight in the broad jump and hurdles events. By RUTH ELCONIN1 According to VicHeyliger, Mich- igan's hockey coach, the Wolverine sextet will receive its major test of the season when it encounters the University of Toronto Blues tonight and tomorrow at Toronto. The Maize and Blue's puck men- tor also stated, "This week's series will be a good indication of the winner of the 1945-46 North Amer- ican Collegiate Hockey Champion- ship." The top college hockey teams are reported to be Michigan, Min- nesota, and Toronto, and the Wol- verines already have downed the Golden Gophers, and now face To- ronto which, Heyliger says, "has a much better team than Minnesota." This series will be highlighted by the fact that both teams boast per- fect records thus far this season. Michigan is credited with 11 straight wins, while the Blues have defeated. their opponents six consecutive times. Vying for scoring honors will be Gord MacMillan, leading goal-getter for Michigan, and Bob Halder, who has the sensational record of marking four tallies in each game. Heyliger, as in the past, will be able to place three forward lines on the ice. The starting combination for the Wolverines will be Wally Gacek center, and wings Walt Grant and Neil Celley, alternating with MacMillan, Al Renfrew, and Bill Jacobson. On the third trio are Karl Sulentich, Chet Kuznier, and Bob Arnot with Sam Steadman and Dick Starrack in reserve. In the defense positions will be Captain Connie Hill and Clem Cos- salter interchanging with Bob Mar- shall and Ross Smith. As usual, Jack Maclnnes will guard the nets for the Maize and 'Blue. Toronto's rink is smaller than the Coliseum, and Heyliger believes that this will hamper the team's skating by reducing its speed, but the Wolver- ine coach said that the squad will give the Blues a tough battle. After the 1939-40 season, Toronto suspended intercollegiate athletics because of the war, but that year the club established the record of 21 consecutive triumphs. This year's sextet, whose coach is Ace Bailey, former Toronto Maple Leaf's men- tor, is noted for having hard, fast skaters, and rugged defensemen. Michigan has not yet been able to chalk up a win over the Canadian club. The two squads first met in 1937 with single games the following two years, and the Blues took all three by respective scores of 4-2, 3-2, and 4-2. Belmont Stakes To Bfe Revived NEW YORK, Jan. 24-OP)--A total of 110 three-year-olds, headed by Mrs. Elizabeth Graham's Running Rodeo, were nominated today for the 1946 renewal of the Belmont Stakes, giving promise that the new gold-fin- ishing job done on racing's triple crown will bring the thoroughbreds out in herds for the big bankrolls. Like the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, the Belmont has been upped to $100,000-added this year. BLOUSES Dress and sport styles, in cot- ton, rayon, and jersey.

Earlier this season OSU toppled a high-riding Wolverine five, 57-40, as Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's men, unable to find themselves, turned in the poorest performance of the sea,- son. However, with the loss of Risen somewhat effecting the Buckeyes' power, and a definite im- provement in Michigan team play, according to Oosterbaan, the Wol-. verines have their sights definitely. set on scoring an upset over the fa- vored visitors. Although Indiana registered a 67- 58 win over Michigan last Monday, a definite improvement was noted in Maize and Blue team play. "It was pretty hard to lose that one," Ooster- baan commented. "The boys were playing great ball, working together like a well-oiled machine. But they weren't able to get their eyes on the basket and missed a lot of important shots." Consequently, emphasis is being placed on more accurate shooting this week, in preparation for a comeback against the Scarlet and Grey. A Wolverine victory tomor- row would raise Michigan's aver- age to .500 in Western Conference competition, since Oosterbaan's men have won three and lost four matches to date. When the starting whistle blows, Michigan will be represented by the usual varsity lineup of Glen Selbo at center, John Mullaney and Bob Har- rison at the forwards, and Dave Strack and Pete Elliott in the guard positions.

Col. Harvey L. Miller, NBA execu- tive secretary and former president, said in a statement that professional boxing's "Big post-war hope was for ex-GI fighters and ex-GI managers to end this closed corporation of the same old names." Elaborating in an interview, he suggested that the American Legion or some other Veterans' Organization conduct "One whale of a GI tourna- ment for all eight weight classes and bring out fighters developed in the armed forces during the war." Purdue in its time trials held last week has shown itself to be compara- ble as a team to the Maize and Blue aggregation. The Boilermakers are especially strong in the field events and the middle distances. Just how strong an entry will represent the In- diana institution will be seen here on Feb. 2, the date of the season opener for both schools. From pre-season reports the Illini will be almost as strong as they were last year when they took the Outdoor Championships and finished one point behind the Wolverines Indoors. The loss to graduation of Bob Kel- ley, Conference and National half mile title holder, is the only serious replacement Coach Leo Johnson has to worry about. Back again willbe George Walker, indoor and outdoor Big Ten hurdles titlist, Bill Buster, Conference indoor dash champion, Bill Cooley, Marce Gonzalez, Joe H'ayes, Bob Phelps, and Stan Sprague. Cooley Top Hurdler Cooley was a promising hurdler last year while Hayes and Gonzalez ran in the 440. Phelps was NCAA pole vault champion last year. Sprague, a shot putter, completes his Navy training next month and may not be around for the Conference Meet. Walker, in addition to his four Big Ten titles, won two in the NCAA meet of last year. It will be Walker who will give Wolverine Elmer Swanson the most trouble in regaining his ti- tles in the hurdle events. The veterans expected momentar- ily are Bob Rehberg, whom Coach Ken Doherty describes as a "great middle distance runner," and Dyke Eddleman a high jumper. i S l i r t i i t WA IL ~iI 7 4f..: l5 4 : /r CalingAll Coeds...
