S. BROWN Michigan inaugurates the 1947- 48 hockey season Saturday night when it plays host to the skating sextet of McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) at the Coli- seum. Coach Heyliger has announced' his probable lineup for the initial match and is standing by the same lads who started last Friday night in the exhibition game with the Detroit Red Wings. Gordie MacMillan will be at center ice for Michigan and the wing positions will be filled by Al Renfrew and Wally Gacek. Ross Smith and Capt. Connie Hill will hold down the defense slots and Jack MacDonald, veteran goalie, will mind the nets. Michigan Holds Edge Rivalry between McMaster and Michigan dates back to 1935 when the Wolverines edged the Cana- dians, 6-4. The record now stands at five wins, one loss, and two ties for Michigan. In 1936, the McMaster team fought off last-minute desperation plays by the Maize and Blue puck- men to even up the series, win- ning, 6-5. The next two games went to the Wolverines by scores of 6-3 and 5-0 and in 1939 and 1940 the con- tests ended in deadlocks. No fur - ther games were played due to Whe advent of war on the scene until 1946 when the. Heyligermen cele- brated the renewal of competition A meeting of the Michigan skiing club, Ullr, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Union. Plans will be formulat- ed for its annual week-end trip to Cadillac. with the 13-6 trouncing of the McMaster six. Last season the Wolverines once again displayed a powerful scor- ing punch when they trotted off to the dressing room at the end of the game with an 11-4 win registered behind them. Scoring Record Set A scoring record was set in that game when the Michigan men scored four goals in one minute and 48 seconds of the second pe- riod. Friday night's exhibition game with the Red Wings gave Mich- igan fans the first opportunity of seeing Heyliger's latest team in action. The Wolverines "won" the "contest," 9-7, but had to rely on the able assistance of the De- troiter's first line and star goalie. Detroit Alumni Fete Football Stars Tonight Graduating members of Michi- gan's Rose Bowl bound football team will probably be lacing their toughest test of the season when they are asked to say a few wordsat the annual Michigan "bust" at the Statler Hotel to- night. Given by the Detroit alumni in honor of the Big Nine champions, this will be the official farewell to the Maize and Blue warriors, but another banquet will be held upon t)tir return from Pasadena. In keeping with tradition, Coach Crisler will be the principal speaker, followed by presentation of small gold footballs to the Wol- verines.

Rounding out the backfield with 'Chap' are Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame's big gun, Ray Evans, of the University of Kansas, and Southern Methodist's sophomore sensation, Doak Walker. Named to end position in the forward wall are Paul Cleary . of Southern California, and Columbia's Bill Swiacki, whose Wolverines, Irish fantastic pass catching enabled the Lions to snap Army's win- ning streak. At the tackle posts two gentlemen from the deep South, Bob Davis of Georgia Tech and Dick Harris of Texas were given the nod. The AP writers awarded guard positions to Steve Suhey, standout performer for Penn State's unbeaten eleven and Bill Fischer of Notre Dame. The pivot spot goes to Chuck Bednarik of Pennsylvania's Ivy League Champs. Irish star, Johnny Lujack is the only repeater from last year's AP selections. MAKE CHRISTMAS MEAN MORE!

Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame's superb T formation quarterback, is the only repeater from 1946, and is joined on the first team by Wil- liam Fischer, sturdy Irish guard. Notre Dame's tackles, Ziggy Czar- obski and George Connor, are on the second and third teams. Ford, Michigan's towering defen- sive end, is on the third team. Thus each has four on the squad, with Notre Dame the only college to place two on the first team. Other first team members are: Paul Cleary, Southern Cali- fornia, and Bill Swiacki, Colum- bia, ends; Bob Davis, Georgia Tech, and Dick Harris, Texas, tackles; Steve Suhey, Penn State, guard; Charles Bednarik, Pennsylvania, center; Ray Evans, Kansas, and Doak Wal- ker, Southern Methodist, backs. year's trend to team play rather than individual brilliance. The 1947 season was distin- guished from past years by breaking all attendance records, even those of lush 1946; by its great crop of pass catching ends; by a powerful group of centers of almost equal ability; and by the high level of back- field performance without, how- ever, a single dominating fig- ure cast in the mold of such heroes as Red Grange, Dutch Clark, or more recently, Army's Felix Blanchard and Glenn Da- vis. There is in fact little to choose between the men on the All-America backfields down to the third team. The new rule lifting all bars on substitutions meant that the "iron men" of yesteryear have disap- peared and specialists in all phases of the game have taken their place. At the other end is Paul Cleary of Southern California, a more balanced player, strong on defense, a good pass catcher r U -n-il 1 I, 1"OR CORRECT Ct RIST MIAS GIFTS - SHOP NOW AT V. B.

Geographically the first team presents four Midwesterners, three Easterners, three men from the South and Southwest and one from the Far West. Of the 33 men on the three teams, six are from the East, 11 from the Midwest, 12 from the South and Southwest, and four from the Far West. Selected on the basis of reports from more than 250 Associated Press newspaper sports editors and staff writers, the composition of the first three teams reflects the and dangerous as a runner on end-around plays. He seldom makes a mistake, and when Michigan and Southern Cali- fornia meet New Year's day in the Rose Bowl, Cleary's work as compared to Michigan's superb hankers, Mann and Ford, will be closely watched. In private life, Cleary typifies the best of present day college men, for he is 25 years old, married with a daughter nearly two years old, and served in the war as a lieu- tenant in infantry, seeing ac- tion in the South Pacific, the Philippines and the occupation of Japan. Second and third team ends crowd both Cleary and Swiacki for honors. Mann of Michigan is fast, with a peculiar knack of getting back of the secondary, and is de- scribed by Coach Fritz Crisler as being "as good a pass catcher as there is." Ford, the stellar Mich- igan defensive end, in the opinion of one shrewd observer, "has the greatest pair of hands in football. Joe Louis couldn't get too rough for Lenny. Opposing blockers bounce off Ford like wind-driven spray." He .is six feet, five and weighs 210. Barney Poole of Mis- sissippi is another giant, six feet, three and weighing 216. He is the target for Charlie Conerly's superb passes. Ike Owens, Illinois end paired with Ford on the third team, is one of the oldest front rank players in college, being 27. Another top-notch end of whom much undoubtedly will be heard in the next few years is Notre Dame's 18- year-old sophomore, Leon Hart, who stands six feet, four and weighs 216. He was bare- ly crowed off the first three All- America teams. i r d $ 95 VCUBMMTI RA-r ~f These fine Scottish mufflers of all wool are truly indicative of master craftsmen.
