Mermen, Wr Swimmers To Clash With Unbeaten Spartans estlers, Cagers Seek Wins Toda State Seeks First Vic Fries, Weinberg, Ma By CLARK BAKER Looking for its fourth straight tri- umph, Michigan's swimming team will invade East Lansing to clash with Michigan State's unbeaten natators today at Jenison Fieldhouse. MSC Seeks Initial Win Coach Charley McCaffree's Spar- tan outfit will be seeking its initial win over a Michigan swimming team. The Wolverines have won every meet, 17 in all, between the schools since the long series began back in 1922. The last Wolverine-Spartan meet was held in 1942, Michigan winning, 59-25. The Maize and Blue will again be cast in the role of favorite. Strength in the freestyle events may keep the State squad from gaining its first win over Coach Matt Mann's men. With such stalwarts as letterman Charley Fries, Dick Weinberg and Matt Mann, III, Michigan will be favored to take all four freestyle races. Mann To Swim 220 Mann may get a stiff battle in the 220 when he tackles the Spartans' un- defeated freestyler, Abel Gilbert. Gil- bert gained firsts in the 100, 220 and 440 against Purdue last week, turn- ing in a 2:16.1 forathe 220. Charley Moss will probably team with Mann in the 220 with Neville Adams join- ing the Maize and Blue distance star in the 440. Weinberg and Fries will probably get the call in the 50 and 100, oppos- ing State's Ziggy Indyke, Jim Quig- ley, Jim Thomas and Gilbert. The tory over Wolverines; nn Favored in Freestyle Wolverines will also have Dave Tittle, Chuck Barnes, Lou Kivi and Jay San- ford for the freestyle events. Patterson Favored In Backstroke The Spartans' state outdoor AAU backstroke king, Howie Patterson, will be favored in the 150-yard back- 3troke race. To pit against the Spar- tan ace, Mann will have Willard Met- ;alf, Ed Stone and Art Johnson. The 200-yard breast stroke will probably provide plenty of fireworks when Wolverines Bob Sohl and Heini Kessler meet State's Paul Seibold. Sohl has turned in the best times of the trio but Kessler has shown great improvement and may win out. Dunbar Threatens In Diving Alex Canja will be out to keep his perfect diving record intact against the Spartans tonight. His chief op- position will probably come from teammates Gil Evans aond Ralph Trimborn all of whom beat State's number one diver, Don Dunbar, here last month. Dunbar has shown great improvement, though, and may come through against the Wolverines. To get off to a winning start Mann will probably send his strongest med- ley relay team against the Spartans. Metcalf, Bob Matters and eithr Fries or Weinberg comprise the Wolverines' top trio. The Michigan quartet for the 400-yard freestyle relay will prob- ably depend on the outcome of the events preceding it on the program. If the Wolverines have a good lead, Mann may not call on his top team. NEWS + VIEWS + COMMENT By DILL MULLENDORE, Sports Editor PATIENCE, say the philosophers, is a virtue. And virtue, according to the moralists, is rewarded. Well, we have been patiently awaiting the long delayed debut of the 1946 Michigan track team. And we have a feeling that tonight's triangu- lar tangle involving the Wolverines, Purdue, and Ohio State will be well worth the wait. Michigan has a nation-wide reputation for turning out winning track teams. The reputation bears up well under the scrutiny of the record. Since Ken Doherty, genial Wolverine cinder coach, took over as chief tutor of the Michigan thinclads in 1940, his teams have won eight of a possible 14 Western Conference championships, both indoors and outdoors. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is dominating the field with a vengeance. From all the advance dope we have been able to gather, Doherty has whipped into shape still another squad with definite championship possibilities. It is yet a little early to go out on a limb, but we fully ex- pect to see Michigan fighting for titular honors come the Big Ten indoor meet. We rather imagine the Wolverines will win tonight's affair, although Purdue has the potential to make it close. Ohio State doesn't figure to be much of a threat, but will take points away from the other two contenders. BUT IT SHOULD be an interesting meet, none-the-less. At least one Yost Field House record will probably go by the board, 'when Purdue's Bill Bangert steps up to the shot put line. Winning times and distances in other events may shatter no records, but competition figures to be keen all along the line. The quarter-mile, the 60-yard dash, both the high and low hurdles, the two-mile, and possi- bly some others stack un as thrilling races. Earlier in the week, we warned our reader(s) not to be surprised to hear Bangert, who divides his time between breaking shot put records and preparing for an operatic career, give out with his voice sometime during the evening's proceedings. The warning was well-advised. Bangert, we understand, will demonstrate his virtuosity as part of the program. Just to make things interesting and add some variety to the enter- tainment, four fraternity half-mile relay teams will show their stuff be- tween the running of the 440-yard dash and the high hurdles. Don't look for any records, but competition should be at a peak. All in all, it should be a worthwhile evening. As we said in the be- ginning, we imagine it has been well worth waiting for. HEINI KESSLER . .captains swimmers today Maize and Blue Is Favored in Cinder Contest Thomason, Barton, Hess To Run in Mile (Continued from Page 1) will be Carl Lomatch, Norm Dunn, and Nelson Pareira. In the mile event, Michigan will have Bob Thomason, Herb Barten and Dave Hess entered against Ash- ley Hawk and Dick Blanchard of Purdue and Bill Clifford and Jimmie Smith of Ohio State. Thomason is one of the outstanding sophomores on the Wolverine squad, while Hawk was the outstanding distance man on last year's Boilermaker squad. Veteran Hurdlers To Compete Four men will represent Michigan in the high hurdles. Elmer Swanson, Neil MacIntyre and Hack Coplin ar all veteran hurdlers. But Wallington is the fourth Michigan entry in the event. Ed Crook, Joe Kennedy and Paul Gutting will run for Purdue while Ohio State will have Bill Sei- bert, twin brother of Dick, Johnny Murphy, and Lowell Shiray. Bill Haidler and Archie Parsons will represent the Wolverines in the quarter-mile. Parsonsrhas nbeen changed to this event from the half- mile and mile runs to add to Michi- gan's team balance. Don Weber and Jack Miller will run for Purdue.. Weber was Indiana collegiate champion in the event last year. Pur- due's entry in this event is one of its strongeA in the entire meet. Warren Orendorff and Jim Casta or Dave Cook will be the Buckeye entries. Birdsall In Two-Mile Run Acting Captain Charlie Birdsall will be seen in the event he captured the indoor title in last year, the two-mile. Running with the champion will be Dean Voegtlen, one of the up-and- coming thinclads on the team. The low hurdles will see the same men as the highhurdle event earlier in the evening. Michigan's Lee Kenny and Ohio State's Crable will be addi- tional entries. Thomason Seeks Two Titles The half-mile will have Thomason, who is doubling in the mile, Jim Mc- Fadden and Joe Shea of the Wolver- ines opposing Weber and Don Hurl- bert for the Boilermakers and Bill Cliftord, and Steve Orfanedes for the Buckeyes. Matmen out for Second Victory In Badger Fray Chicago and Nebraska Beaten by Wisconsin By CHUCK LEWIS Michigan's wrestling team will be aiming for its second consecutive vic- tory in as many weeks when the grap- plers tangle with the Wisconsin mat- men tonight after the Michigan-Wis- consin basketball game in the Badg- ers' Field House at Madison. Badgers Have Two Wins The wrestlers will be out to better the .500 percentage they have accum- ulated so far this season with a 17-11 victory over Purdue and an 18-8 de- feat suffered in the first meet of the season with Indiana. The Wisconsin squad has wrestled in competition for a week this year and has two victories under its belt. Last Saturday they conquered the Chicago Maroons by a score of 25-11 and followed with a 20-11 conquest of Nebraska Monday night. The Chi- cago match produced five falls. Smith To Face Viskocil' The only new addition to the head- liners is Maurice Smith who will probably wrestle in the 145-pound class. He will face Eddie Viskocil, a veteran, who was national AAU champion before his departure for service. Thus far this season Visko- cil has two straight victories to his credit. Wayne Smith, who has alternated between the 136- and 145-pound di- visions will go in the lighter class to- night. He will be trying for his sec- ond successive victory and is opposed by Don Hoff,who has a record of one victory, a pin, and a loss to his Ne- braska adversary. Stark, Courtright Undefeated Jim Stark, undefeated in two starts, will again get the call in the 121- pound division. His opponent will be Bill Robinson who boasts a record of one victory as against one defeat, Michigan's other undefeated contes- tant is the mainstay and captain of the Wolverine aggregation, Bill (Corky) Courtright. His foe, Tony Barbaro, Wisconsin 165-pounder, is also undefeated and this match is li- able to be the best one of the eve- ning. At 128 pounds, John Allred will again be at his accustomed post to meet his Wisconsin opponent, Bob Spicuzza. Both men have one and one records. Michigan's Stu Snyder will face Dave Netteheim, the Badger 155-pound entry, who is undefeated in this season's competition. Starter Not Chosen Keen will not be sure of his starter in the 175-pound class until the time of the match. Both George Chiames and Ward Peterson made the trip to Madison, and Gene Johnson, Wis- consin ex-gridder, will meet either Chiames or Peterson in the light- heavyweight match. Dan Dworsky, one of Wolverines football team's additions to the grap- plers, will start in the heavyweight division. His opponent will be Bill Bennett, whose record in competition is identical with Dworsky's, one and one. Buy Victory Bonds! BEER VAULT Beer - Wine - Mixers - Keg Beer 10 to 10 Daily 8 A.M. to 11 P.M.

Wisconsin After Firs Conference Tilts in By HANK KEISER Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's Mich- igan basketball team will be out to chalk up its fifth Big Ten victory of the season when it meets Wiscon- sin's aggregation at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Badgers' Field House at Mad- ison. Oosterbaan reported that when the starting whistle blows Glen Selbo will be at center, Bob Harrison and John Mullaney will be handling for- ward posts and Dave Strack and Pete Elliott will appear in the guard positions. Mullaney, who racked up the individual high score of 18 points against Ohio State last Sat- urday, will be leading the Wolverine Michigan drew first blood as Gacek poked his first score past Gopher goalie Ray McDermid at 7:08 of the first period. Jerry Carley, famous Minnestoa deaf athlete. tied it up at 16:23. Both goals were unassisted. The Gophers moved out in front in the second period as Dick Fleming took a pass from Carley and beat Wolverine netminder Jack MacInnes at 15:07. Michigan clearly outplayed its rivals in this period, but was un- able to make its shots count. Grant Scores Grant tied things up at 1:58 of the final round with an unassisted goal, but Joe Tergeson put Minnesota back into the lead with still another un- assisted tally three minutes later. Gacek and Clem Cossalter combined for Michigan's third, and final, tally at 7:04, with Gacek getting the goal. That ended the scoring, but not the excitement. The Wolverines blew several golden opportunities in the dying moments of regulation play and during the entire overtime, car- rying the fight to their foes consis- tently. The deadlock meant the mythi- cal Western Conference champion- ship for Michigan, but cost them a chance to gain their first four-game sweep over the Gophers since 1931. The teams play again tomorrow. t Victory in Five Cage Game with Michigan offensive in an attempt to overrun Wisconsin in this first match of a home-and-home series. In addition to the starting quintet seven other Maize and Blue cagers were taken to Madison, Bob Baker, Walt Kell, Marty Feinberg, Hal Wes- terman, Bill Dietrich, Gordon Rosen- crans, and Bill Walton. Baker and Kell saw a great deal of action against OSU last week and Kell, in particular, turned in a sparkling de- fensive game. Wisconsin, coached by H a r o1d (Bud) Foster, will be represented by Jim Bloor at center, Eugene Mathews and Richard Bunke at the forwards, and Kurt Grimm and Bob Cook handling the guard assignments. Bloor is a 20-year-old veteran who is 6 ft. 5 in. tali and weighs 195 pounds, while Bunke, who hails from New London, Wis., measures 6 ft. 11/2 in. in height and scales 180. Mathews, an NROTC student, is t h e squad's diminutive member, tipping the scales at 132 pounds and just reaching the 5 ft. 7 in. mark. The Green Bay, Wis., lad is in his senior year at school. Cook and Grimm, the two guards, stand at 5 ft. 11 in. and 6 ft., and weigh 150 and 165 pounds, respectively. Coach Foster may also count on the services of two returned veterans, Bob Haarlow and Exner Menzel. Haarlow. is 21 and measures 6 ft. 6 in. He plays center. Menzel is a for- ward, 23-years-old, who hails from Stevens Point, Wis. Last year Michigan split their home-and-home series with the Bad- gers. The first match, played at Yost Field House resulted in a Maize and Blue victory, -50-39, while the return tilt, at Madison, saw the Bad- gers jump back with a 55-44 win.
