TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1Z, 1946 T HE M I CH IG AN D AIINY Michigan Cagers Overe 1SCf)115111' Hockey Team Over powered Sextet Battles OntLario Amnateurs o1 Weekentd Michigan's hockey team, defeated twice over the weekend by the Uni- versity of Toronto, took a well-earned rest yesterday and reflected that from here on in it should find the road a little easier. Shutting out the Michigan sextet, 4-0, Saturday, the Blues scored a gaal early in the second period and then took to the defensive. Michigan had control of the puck for the great- er part of the first two periods, but as hashbeen the case in many con- tests this year, the squad couldn't click in front of the net. Third Period Rally In the final period, with the Wolv- erines desperately trying to tie the count, Toronto crashed the Michigan defense for three more goals. - Both teams were handicapped by injuries. Al Renfrew, playing with his wrist in a cast, saw little action for Michigan, while Dave Bauer and Ed. Kryzanowski were also out of action for Toronto. In losing to the Blues, the Wolv- erines played as good hockey as they have played this season, But Toronto, undefeated in 11 games against col- lege opponents this season, had too much power for the Michigan aggre-f gation. In the two contests played in Ann Arbor and in the second game at Toronto, the Maize and Blues bat- tled on even terms for two periods, only to go down to defeat before a withering barrage of Toronto goals. In the past four week's the Wolv- erines met the Toronto crew four times and also met Minnesota's Go- phers in four contests. Coach Ace Bailey's Blues were triumphant each time, but not until the Maize and Blue puckmen had extended them to the limit. Play Twice This Weekend Against the Gophers the Wolver- ines had better success, winning twice in Ann Arbor and then clinching the ' Big Ten title in Minneapolis two weeks later when the 'teams played a three all tie. The Gophers upset Vic Heyliger's crew in the final game. With the season's big games out of the way the Michigan puckmen hope to again hit the victory trail. Friday and Saturday at the Coliseum they ,will meet Paris AC and Brant- ford, both of whom are Ontario amateur sextets. However, neither is expected to furnish as strong oppo- sition as that of Toronto, Illini Meet Next for Traekmen A fter Convincing Relays Win Saturday's Victory Result of Team Balance; Thomason, Coleman, Birdsall Pace Squad Wolverines Avenge Previous Defeat Beating Badgers with Scoring Spree Elliott Takes Scoring Honors with 21 Points ; Michi ganl Piles Up Large Half-Time Margin By WALT KLEE . After completely dominating thee Michigan State relays last Saturday, the Michigan track team has turned1 its eyes on the dual meet with Illi- nois to be held here on Saturday, Feb. 23. The annual relay carnival proved once again that the Michigan team has one of the most balanced aggre- gations of thinclads in recent years, although it failed to provide the Wol- verines with any truly outstanding individual stars. Thomason Stars In Mile, A large number of creditable per- formances were turned in in almost' all events, most notable being the; mile run by Bob Thomason in the distance medley relay. Thomason's unofficial time for the mile was 4:24. The return of Bob Hume to compe-I tition raises once again the question; of whether or not the Hume twins will be able to compete this year. Previ- ously it has been announced that the' distance stars would not, because of, an extra heavy scholastic burden. Both have been out for practice oc- casionally, but not as often as neces-I; s ary to get them in shape for com- petition. Coleman Edges Clifford' Other outstanding performances in the relay carnival were Horace Cole- Naators Face Gopher Squad ere Saturday With their fifth straight win of the season safely tucked away, Mich- igan's swimmers will play host to Minnesota Saturday night at the Sports Building pool. The meet with the Gophers will be the last outing for the Wolverines before their vaction-time invasion of Ohio State, Feb. 27. The Buckeye clash had been originally slated for Mar. 2 but was moved ahead to Feb. 27. Gophers Boast Two Wins, One Loss The Minnesota swimmers have a two-and-one record for the season, holding wins over Illinois, 45-39, and Iowa State, 53-31. Their lone setback came at the hands of Northwestern in their season opener, 53-31. Mich- igan defeated the Wildcats, 47-34. Four lettermen and a couple of war veterans hold the key to Minne- sota's chances of whipping Coach Matt Mann's crew Saturday. The let- termen are Reynolds Jones, Mike Besel, Bill Grey and John Hollings- head. Roger Ahlman and Don Benson are the ex-servicemen. Jones took a fifth for the Gophers in the Big Ten 50-yard freestyle race last year. He has turned in a :25 for that distance already this season. Grey, Besel, Jones and Ahlman make up the Minnesota 400-yard freestyle relay team. Against Illinois the quar- tet churned the distance in 3:45.2. Hollingshead Swims itreast Stroke Hollingshead is a breast stroker who is on his own this year after playing second fiddle to the Gopher's ace breast stroker in 1945, Vern Ojampa. Ahlman also swims back- stroke for the Northmen. His best time for the 150-yard distance this year is 1:43.9. The Minnesotans have a strong team balance that may give the Wolverines a little trouble. Against the Illini they could only take five firsts but still managed to salvage 45 points, enough to win handily. As Gopher Coach Niels Thorpe put it, "We're potentially strong." man's anchor leg in the mile relay, Church Low's victory in the 1000- yard run, Chuck Birdsall's easy vic- tory in the two mile, and Chuck Lauritsen's surprise victory in the pole vault. Coleman ran a fast leg, fighting off every bid made by Ohio State's Bill Clifford, who made a valiant effort for the Buckeyes. However, Coleman kept up his pace and crossed the wire pulling further ahead. Low, Orfanedes In Thriller Low also engaged in a thrilling dual with a Buckeye, this time Steve Or- fanedes, outstanding freshman. The Wolverine jumped into the lead and held it through the course of the race by staving off several determined bids, Birdsall, a two-miler, is in a class by himself. After running more than a mile in stride with teammate Dean Voegtlen, he began to put on speed and finished the last three laps at least 50 yards ahead of his nearest competitor. The pole vault provided the Wol- verines with their most sta tling up- set. Both Billy Mooare of Northwest- ern and Ted Wo h e of Michigan State were rated much better than Lauritsen. Both had made jumps of 13 feet 6 inches and better before the meet. Yet when it came to clearing 13 feet in the Relays, both jumpers failed, leaving Lauritsen with a vic- tory that tied the meet record. To add to the confusion, in practice af- terwards, Moore set an unofficial record when he cleared the bar at 13 feet 8 inches. Over-all Strenghth Counts Yet without any doubt it was the over-all strength of all performers, rather than any individual feats that made possible the Wolverine per- formance. Elmer Swanson was upset in the high hurdles, and Bob Swain lost his second straight to Carl Baynard in the dash. Swanson was not in the best of shape for the meet, hampered by muscle trouble. Open Competition On St. Louis Nine ST. LOUIS, Feb. 11-(/P)-Every job except shortstop is open in the 1946 starting lineup of the St. Louis Browns, Manager Luke Sewell said today. "Vernon Stephens is the Browns shortstop until somebody better comes along," Sewell declared as he made a short stopover here en route to Anaheim, Calif., where the Brownies will open training, Feb. 20 The only catch in that strategy i that Stephens is a holdout-more 01 less.

I ---.- _ ____ _ - -- - -- - ~ --_ _ - By fRANK KEISER It was sweet revenge for Michi- gan's basketball squad last night when they bounced back to lash a visiting Wisconsin quintet, which, downed them by one point a week ago at Madison, with a run-away 66-56 defeat, on the Yost Field House floor". The absence of head cage coach Bennie Oosterbaan had no apparent effect on the scoring punch of the Wolverines who, under thle direction of assistant coaches Bill Barclay and Ernie McCoy racked up 47 points to Wisconsin's 30 at the end of the first frame. In the process the Maize and Blue five bettered the .500 mark hit- ting the basket, sinking 21 of 41 shots attempted. Badgers Rally in Second Period Wisconsin staged a short-lived rally in the second period, taking advant- age of a momentary Wolverine slump, but only managed to pull within 10 points of the leaders by the time the final whistle blew. P ete Etlliott, M1 ichigan's varsity guard, led the individual scoring race for both teams with a total of 21 points, on nine field goals and three free throws. Teammate Dave Strack was right on his heels with 16 mark- ers, from seven goals and two charity tcss'es. Wisconsin's star forward, Bob Cook, who leads the Conference in scor'ing, placed third with 14. Fast and accurate shooting char- acterized the first frame which saw the Wolverines pile up one of their highest half-time scores to date. Wisconsin shot off to a four-point lead on baskets by Exner Menzel and George Rippe but free throws by Bob Harrison and Glen Selbo, and lay- ups by Strack and Selbo gave Mich- igan a 6-4 advantage after 1% min- utes of play. By the time seven minutes had run out the Maize and Blue led, 12-8. The next three minutes of play saw the score tied twice at 12 and 14 mark- ers apiece, as the Badgers tallied on shots by Cook, Rodgers and Rippe, while Harrison came through for Michigan. The teams were deadlocked two more times, at 16 and 18 counts each in the first part of the initial period, but the Wolverines jumped into the lead after that, and were never ser- iously threatened from there on in. 47-30 Score At Half Three baskets by Elliott, who chalked up 16 points in the first per- iod, two by Strack, and one apaie by Johzn Mullaney and Marty Fein- berg made the scoreboard read 32-2 with six minutes remaining to half- time. Wise, Rippe, Menzel, and Cook hit tile basket with goals and free throws for the Badgers in the re- maining time to boost their total to 30, while Wolverines Elliott, Selbo, and Strack engineered 15 points be- tween them, to give Michigan 47 markers at halftime. e. _ ______ _ _ - R I-M Cage Schedule YOU X11/ Tonight: 8:00 Sigma Chi vs Sigma Phi Ep- silon.
