TS1MAT, J3ACTAft-V 29,1)4 TiHE~ A*IcH'iGiA& DAILY Sextet Hopes To Resume Winning Ways tk' WE'RE PROUD OF 'EM! Cagers Elated After OSU Win; Badgers Are Next Opponents Stickmnen Will Meet MeMaster; Renfrew, Kuznier To Miss Tilt By DES HOWARTH Michigan's hockey team, twice defeated in games with the University of Toronto last weekend, will attempt to get back into the win column tonight when Coach Vic Heyliger's crew meets McMaster University's sextet at 8 p.m. at the Coliseum. Although the Maize and Blue winning streak was broken by Toronto after Michigan had won eleven straight contests, the Wolverines returned home determined to start all over again. Thinclads To Open Season Saturday Against Boilermakers, Ohio State By BERNIE MEISLIN Michigan's cagers displayed an air of confidence as they went through drills yesterday in the wake of their 62-46 upset over a strong Ohio State quintet. "I'm proud of the boys," said Coach Bennie Oosterbaan, "They played a fine, aggressive game. It would have been difficult for any team in the country to have beaten us the way we looked Saturday night." Two Weekends Away It will be two weeks before Wolver- ine hoop fans will get a chance to see their surprising outfit in action again. The hoopsters travel to Madison next Saturday for a game with Wisconsin. The following Saturday will find Michigan at Champaign for a return tilt with the Illini. It will not be until February 11 that the Wolverines play again on the'hardwood court of Yost Field House. The Badgers return Michi- gan's visit on that night. Oosterbaan's charges have main- t 0 S t r C t C Y r r l r f c A tamed a record of near invincibility on their home court throughout the season, defeating such highly rated teams as Michigan State, Utah, Illi- nois, Northwestern and Ohio State at Ann Arbor. The only blemish on the cagers hame record is a 67-58 over- time loss at the hands of Indiana. Fast Break Tells Tale A review of the figures of Satur- day night's upset victory reveals the actual effectiveness of the fast break- ing, close guarding game that Michi- gan played against Ohio. In the first half Michigan took 43 shots and made 12. Ohio took 47 chances and nine were successful. In the second half Michigan. only tried 34 field goals, but made good on 13 of them. USO was sadly ineffective making but nine of 51 attempts. In the free throw department the figures showered much the same de- gree of efficiency for both teams. The Wolverines made 12 of 16 fouls while Ohio missed seven of 17 gift tosses. Snyder Is Disappointing Individually, the most disappoint- ing of the Buckeyes was Ray Snyder. Snyder led his team in scoring with 16 points, but did not really begin to click till late in the game when his team was far in the rear. He mWade only one of 15 attempted field goals in the first half and five out of 21 tries in the second. For the Maize and Blue John Mul- laney exhibited the most sensational return to form, scoring 18 points to lead both teams in that department. They week before against Northwest- ern, Mullaney had been held score- less Michigan dropped a heart-breaker to Toronto on Saturday after being out-played by the powerful Blues on Friday night. In the second contest the Wolverines led until mid-way through the third period, when the Toronto attack completely wore down the Michigan defense. Al Renfrew andl Chet Kuznier will not be available for duty in tonight's game, which means that Coach Hey- liger will have to do some juggling with his second and third lines. Ren- frew is suffering from a leg injury, and Heyliger is saving him for the Minnesota series this weekend. Kuz- nier will be out until the Torontc games in an attempt to catch up on his academic work. Gord MacMillan and Bill Jacobson are expected to start on the Wolver- ines' forward line, but the third mar is as yet undecided. Clem Cossalter and Connie Hill will be the defense- men with Jack Maclnnes at goal. Michigan's first line, with Wall3 Gacek at center, and Neil Celley and Wally Grant on the wings remains intact. Bob Arnot, Karl Sulentich Dick Starrak, and Sam Steadmar will probably all see action either or the second or third line. Bob Marshal] and Ross Smith will be the second defense team. Following tonight's game the W61- verines will leave for Minneapolis or Thursday for the final two gamf series with the Golden Gophers J f 5 v v c I t v G t G4 t lI i c G{ l t 1 M1atmen Prep For Wisconsin Dworsky's Win Gives Wolverines Victory Michigan's wrestling team, fresh from its victory over Purdue, last year's conference champs, is now working hard for next week's meet with Wisconsin, at Madison. The most surprising win in Satur- day's contest was the 2 point win of Dan Dworsky, which gave the Wol- verines the meet. Dworsky, who had been out for the team for only 3 weeks, has been bothered by a cold, and has only been able to partake in a few of the practices. However, he wrestled very well, and won the de- ciding match for Michigan. Commenting on Saturday's contest, Coach Keen said, "I am very pleased and satisfied with the performance of this team. I have never had a team like it, where I knew every man put himself out in order to win. Without any desire to take away credit from this fine victory, I do recognize that Purdue was at a psychological disad- vantage, having just beaten a fine Michigan State College team the pre- ceding night, and was not set for the kind of scrap that we managed to give, them." Coach Termis Meet O re of Year's fBest By WALT KLEE Michigan's track team will pry the lid open on its 1946 season this Sat- urday night in a triangular meet against Purduenand Ohio State to be held in the Yost Field House. With the exception of Ohio State which came out on the short end of a 68-50 score in a meet with Michigan State last Saturday it will be the first appearance of the season for the teams. "One Of The Best" Coach Ken Doherty said of the coming meet, "It will be one of the best meets to be seen here all sea- son. Purdue has the best team they have had in years and Ohio State may pull a few surprises." The Boilermakers will bring one of the strongest teams in the Big Ten in the field events. Bill Bangert, singing shot put star, has already topped the existing Field House mark of 51 ft. 52 in. set by Michigan's Bill Watson in 1939. In the Army Relays last Saturday he recorded a toss of 52 ft. 4 3,18 in. in finishing behind Army's Dewitt Coulter. New Purdue Mark Dick Kilpatrick has set a new Pur- due record in the high jump of 6 ft.' 4 in. in time trials earlier this month. Bob Murphy and Dick Whitmore have both cleared 12 feet in the pole vault. The Boilermakers have also shown that they are comparable to the Wol- verines in most of the track events. Cy Highlander and Jim Parierd have both run the 60 yard dash in .06:4. Coach Homer Allen's squad has also shown strength in the quarter and half-mile events with Don Weber and Hank Miller turning in times of 53 seconds in the shorter distance. Mermen Face MSC Saturday Buckeye Swimmers Outclass Great Lakest With their third straight victory and the second in Conference ac-7 tion over Purdue safely tucked away, Michigan's swimmers will= vacation from Big Ten play this Saturday night when they oppose Michigan State's strong squad at East Lansing. The Spartans also clashed with Purdue this past week-end, rolling up a 57-27 count over the outclassed Boilermakers Friday. Michigan's margin of triumph Saturday was 49-32; but Coach Matt Mann kept his aces, Dick Weinberg out of the 50 and 100-yard freestyle races, and Matt Mann, II,, out of the 440-yard free- styl event. The Wolverine 300-yard medley re- lay team of Willard Metcalf, Bob Matters and Jay Sanborn left the Boilermakers far behind in the event only to be disqualified. The Maize and Blue finished with a good 20- yard margin. Down at Columbus, O., the Buck- eyes of Ohio State proved their caliber by completely outclassing the powerful Great Lakes swim- ming team, 52-32. Earlier this year Michigan and the Bluejackets split a pair of decisions, the Wol- verines' best effort being a 46-38 win over the Navy team. Only three events went the way of the Sailors and Wally Ris was respon- sible for two of them. He whipped the Ohio State freestyle sprint star from Hawaii, Halo Hirose, in both the 50- and 100-yard races, but had to post a very fast :52 to win the hun- dred.

State St. Phone W613 "FF RE KEYBOARD By MARY LU REATH Associate Sports Editor Today's column was written by Des Howarth, Daily hockey writer, who accom- panied the Michigan puck team to Toronto FANS WHO ARE bemoaning the fact that Michigan's hockey team finally dropped from the ranks of the undefeated need shed no tears. Coach Vic Heyliger's sextet lost twice to the University of Toronto, it's true, but even so the Wolverines played two of the best games they have played this season, and once again proved that it takes a really great team to beat them. And from all indications, the chances are pretty good that the young Michigan sextet will turn the tables the next time they meet the Torontonians in February. Michigan still has a real hockey club, make no mistake about that. Those who optimistically hoped for an undefeated season, however, failed to take into account the quality of the Wolverines' opponents. Never before has a Maize and Blue sextet faced such competition as this season. Yet until the Toronto series, Michigan conquered all opposition, including Colorado College and Minnesota, two of the best puck squads in the United States. Toronto, however, was a different proposition. The Blues are coached by one of the best in the business, Ace Bailey, and they have an experienced team. The average age of the Toronto team is four years older than that of the Wolverines, and in Canada that means four more years of learning to play hockey. THE UNIVERSITY of Toronto has also been playing some very strong opponents this season, and in the vicinity of Canada's Queen City may be found some of the best hockey squads in the hockey-minded dominion. The fact that Michigan gave the Blues their biggest test of the season is admitted by the hockey-wise Mr. Bailey, who also says that his team is the best college aggregation he has ever coached. This certainly speaks well for the Wolverines, even in defeat. The main reason for Michigan's defeats may be attributed to Wally Halder, Toronto's ace center. The Maize and Blue probably will not meet a better forward than Halder this season. Previous to the series he had scored at least four goals in every contest. Michigan was only able to cut that to three. Halder is fast, stick-handles well, and has a terrific shot. Several National Hockey League teams have already asked for his signature to play for the pro ranks. It will be well worth the price of admission for Ann Arbor fans just to see Halder perform when he and his mates come here for games next month. THEN, too, the breaks played an important part in the double loss. Before the series opener the Michigan squad worked out at the Varsity Arena in Toronto, and at the time the team remarked that the ice was much slower than that of the Coliseum. It was obvious that this factor played an important part in the double loss. The Wolverines tired quickly in Friday's game, and wore themselves out in the last period of Saturday's contest. Two goals were protested by the Wolverines and these ultimately proved the deciding margin in the 7-5 defeat. Jacq MacInnes caught a rifle shot off the stick of Kryzansowski but the goal official ruled that Jack's hand crossed the line. Later Toronto scored again after the Wolverines thought the whistle had blown, stopping the play. These breaks had a de- moralizing effect on the squad. had thought the whistle had blown, stopping the play. These breaks had Coach Heyliger and his boys are not going to take the reverses lying down. Everyone on the squad believes they will be able to take the Toronto sextet on Michigan's Coliseum ice. It will not be a bit surprising if they do.
