The Spitfires will be seeking their second victory of the series that begun in 1946. In the four games played thus far, the Mich- igan sextet has emerged victorious in three contests, limiting the Ca- nadians to a single win. In the first tilt of the series, the Wolverines downed the Windsorltes by a 7-2 margin. Michigan also won the second contest of that year, 8-5. The JMaize and Blue pucksters con- tinued their dominance into the 1946-47 season, taking a hard fought 10-7 triumph. The Spitfires garnered their only victory late in the '46-'47 campaign, edging the Wolverines 6-5 on Windsor ice in a game iarked with frequent penalties and several injuries on both sides. Only one of the Windsorites that started last season's final tilt will be on the ice for this year's face off. He is Gordon Haidy, center for the Spitfires, one of the high scorers of the IAHL. Earl Keyes and Elvon Dava- naugh are the starting wings, with Max Quackenbush, broth- er of the Detroit Red Wing star Bill Quackenbush, and Paul Montforton at defense. Gordon Buckley will be in goal for the visitors. Wolverine Coach Vic Heyliger indicated that he would continue the practice of using four lines instead of the conventional three. This innovation was first used in last Saturday's game with Mc- Master University when the Wol- verines overwhelmed the invad- ers, 13-1. Michigan's first line will remain the same as it has been, with Gordie McMillan at center, flanked by Wally Gacek and Al Renfrew. Bob Marshall, defense- man last year, Ted Greer and Bill Jacobson will make up the num- ber two forward wall. The third line will consist of Owen McArdle at center and Sam Stedman and Len Brumm on the wings. Al Nadeau will be at center on the fourth line, with Paul Fontana and Herb Upton, another converted de- fenseman, on the wings. Connie Hill will, as usual, lead the defense, with able support from Ross Smith and Dick Star- rak. In case of necessity, either Marshall or Upton could be moved back to their accustomed defense slots. Jack McDonald will again be in the Michigan goal. Tickets for the game will go on sale today at the Athletic Admin- istration Building. They are 60 cents each and will be sold only to students with their ID cards.

Defense Unveil Wolverine Tankmen i Xeekeiid 'iV'Swiii (oaLw Friday, Silrlu I Ni±I libiitibl Iiatlire Olympic Star Adolph KieWer, Wome Arist Elliott's Defensive Play Will Spark_ Hoopsters By IRV ZUCKER A staunch defense, valuable ex- perience, and speed are expected to be Michigan's chief weapons against the 20 competitors it will face in the 1947-48 year. However, the true strength of the Wolverine defense, rated the best in last year's Big Nine play, probably won't be revealed for at least another month. At that time, Coach Ozzie Cowles hopes, Mich- igan will be able to employ the services of ex-captain Pete Elliott, the all-around athlete from Bloomington, Ill. Elliott, Effective "Stopper"' Elliott, one .of the most effec- tive "stoppers" on defense in the Conference last season, returns to football practice this afternoon with the Rose Bowl-bound Wol- verine grid squad. He was work- ing out with the hoopsters the past two weeks. The talented Wolverine might have been the man to stop Don Boven, Western Michigan's six- foot three scoring threat who canned 265 points last year, in this Saturday's opener at Yost Field House. Flies From Rose Bowl Immediately after the Rose Bowl game, Elliott and end Irv Wisniewski, second-string basket- ball center last year, will fly to Ann Arbor to rejoin the Maize and Blue cagers. Coach Cowles fears that Elliott and Wisniewski will not be able to whip into shape for hardwood ac- tion at Toledo Jan. 3. (The hoop- sters play five games during the Christmas vacation.) "It takes a lot of practice and d b a sl C si ifficult conditioning for a man o step off the gridiron and onto basketball court," Coach Cowles sated. owles Starts Second Season The Wolverine cage mentor, tarting his second season at the Michigan swimming fans will be treated to a pre-season glimpse of the Wolverine natators Friday and Saturday evenings when Coach Matt Mann lifts the lid off the tank season at the annual Swim Gala. "It's going to be one of the best meets we've ever presented," Mann said. And from all indica- tions his remarks are not without cause. This year's two-day affair will include all the thrilling fea- tures of the past meets and will introduce Adolph Kiefer, Olympic backstroke champ and the Na- tional Champion girl's synchron- ized swimming group. Kiefer Has Fine Record Kiefer, who amassed a remark- able record of 250 consecutive vic- tories before Michigan's Harry Holiday touched him out in May of 1943, will be accompanied by his beautiful assistant and will present a varied program that will ably demonstrate his talents. The synchronized swimmers, a group under the guidance of Mrs. Mart E. DeRosier, captured the National AAU championship in women's precision swimming, at Chicago last year and are current- ly preparing for their 1947-48 sea- son. Surprises in Store The unveiling of the 1948 Wol- verine squad is liable to bring a couple of major surprises to the experts. Mann said that his squad had shown amazing progress and "I wouldn't be too surprised to see a couple of world's records broken in this two-day affair." Those marks that are liable to fall are in the 150-yard medley re- lay and in the 100-yard breast- stroke. Michigan's relay trio of Captain Holiday, Bob Sohl and Dick Weinberg will be aiming for Mermen Add Seven Marks Holiday Credited With Two Single Records Seven records established by Michigan swimmers during the past year were recognized by the AAU at their recent Omaha, Ne- braska meeting as they considered 88 marks set by American ath- letes in all sports. Captain Harry holiday shared in six of the records, setting two alone and teaming with Wolver- ines in four others. Holiday's (individual mark came in the quarter-mile backstroke which he churned in 5:09.6 easily eclipsing the old mark. The other mark set by Holiday came in Hawaii when he smashed the 150-meter individual medley l record. He was timed in 1:46.5 in the 50-meter Waikiki Pool. He teamed with Bob Soh and Dick Weinberg to crack to 300- meter medley relay mark with a 3:13.7 clocking and then with Gus Stager replacing Weinberg the trio added the 150-meter medley record to their list with a 1:28.8 performance. jThe other two records Holiday had a hand in were the 200-meter and 400-meter freestyle rellys, Holiday, Stager, Matt Mann III and Charley Moss were credited with these as they turned in timesI of 1:49.8 and 4:04 flat to erase the existing marks. The final record went to Sohl, who added the 100-meter breast- stroke mark to his laurels. Sohn negotiated the Waikii Pool in 1:09 flat to smash the former American mark. their own mark in 1:18 flat set last year against Wayne University. Soul Shoots for Another Record Sohl is shoot ing for a new mark when he goes after the 100-yard record. le established a new ALL SMILES - Genial Matt Mann loaks forward to the an- nual Swim Gala, and the lid- lifter for the 1948 Wolverine mermen. American record for the 10d-meter event in Hawaii when he turned in a 1:09 flat clocking and stands a good chance of breaking the record of 1:00.6 set by Ralph Hough of Princeton. AL Re-elects Will Harridge For 0 )Years, NEW Y1RK, Dec. 9- )--Re- election of Will Harridge as Amer - ican League President for a 10- year term was announced todayl while the two majors discussed the Pacific Coasts big league ambi- tions in closed sessions. A compromise was expected to result by which the majors may leave the door open for future ex- pansion to include any pair of cities from any section of the country which prove they can support that type of baseball. If this plan, reportedly under discussion today, is passed at the joint meeting Thursday under Commissioner A. B. Chandler, the Coast's plans for provisional ac- ceptance as a third major league would be defeated. The door would then be left open for admission of certain cities, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles, after they have brought their parks up to major league standards and satisfied the other members of their own league. -- I CHRISTMAS SHOPPING is A PLEASURE BURR, PATTERSON & AULD CO.

"Both the squad and myself have had a full season to become acquainted," he said. "I believe I know the type of basketball they can play best and, on the other hand, they know the type of play I'm trying to coach." Headded, "We should be an im- proved club, as fast as last year and more polished. Our success will depend upon the ratio of im- provement between ourselves and the teams we play. Every one should be better." Coach Cowles will get a chance to see how much his team has improved on Saturday when the Wolverine cagers open their 1947- 48 season against the powerful Broncos of Western Michigan.
