game, played the Monday after
Christmas, Michigan held a three-
point lead with 25 seconds left to
play and a one-point lead with
3 seconds remaining, but lost the
thriller 53-51. Boyd McCaslin was
high-point man with 13.
Hal Morrill played his best
game of the season that night
looking very sharp on rebounds
and dumping in ten points before
he fouled out in the waning min-

The Wolverines were beaten
again the following night, 47-41,
as Iowa State continued to pouf'
it on. McCaslin was again high
point man with 11 points.
Cagers Drub Toledo
In the last encounter of the
five game tour Michigan drubbed
Toledo 58-52 to make up for the
loss handed them by the Ohioans
last season.
This was the first game that
the Wolverines really worked as a
team.
Pete Elliott and Ir Wisniew-
ski played in this game, their
first of this season, and Pete
racked up 5 points. He and Mor-
rill combined forces to hold Jack
Harmon, Toledo's ace to three
buckets.
Now at full strength the Wol-
verine cagers are ready to open
their Big Nine basketball season
here next Saturday against Min-
nesota. Michigan is the last Big
Nine team to play a conference
game with most of the teams hav-
ing begun competition last night.

Mr. James Costin. sports editor
of the South Bend Tribune, is
very unhappy.
Mr. Costin is unhappy be-
cause a lot of people are daring
to compare the football gang-
sters from Michigan with his
fair-haired Irish of Notre
Dame.
This comparison, says Mr. Cos-
tin in an article which appeared in
a Detroit Sunday paper, is nothing
LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 5--tP)
-Purdue's Boilermakers upset In-
diana's Hurryin' Hoosiers tonight,
58 to 49, in the opening Western
Conference basketball game for
both teams.
Pucksters Remain Unbeaten;
Tie Toronto in Ron gh Game
By smashing Toronto's hockey
supremacy, Coach Vic Heyliger's
1948 aggregation kept its season's
slate unblemished, winning the
first of the two gam'e series, 3-2,
and tying the Canadians the sec-
ond time out, 4-4.
After edging Toronto on De-
cember 18 in Chicago, the Wol-
verines returned home the follow-
ing night and overcame a first
period 3-0 deficit and a second pe-
riod 4-2 score to knot the game
up in the final stanza.
Gordie McMillan, who now
leads the Michigan skaters in
scoring with 12 points, netted the
tying counter on a pass from
Al Renfrew at 16:05. McMillan
added two assists in the hafd-
fought fray to boost his point to-
tal.
The visitors struck hard in the
initial frame, shooting the disk
past Jack McDonald on three oc-I
casions. McMillan drew Mich-
igan's first major penalty of the
current campaign when he and
Ted Ecclestone were waved to the
box for five minutes on a high-
sticking charge.
Gacek, Renfrew Tallyj
Wally Gacek teamed up with
McMillan for a goal to draw
within one point of Toronto at
12:49 of the second period after
Al Renfrew had taken a pass
from McMillan and scored for the
Wolverines' first tally.
Toronto again rushed the Mich-
igan nets and after several bril-
liant saves by Jack McDonald, Ed
Kryzanowski sent a 30-foot drive
into the netting at 15:32 of the
middle period.
Ted Greer, Michigan's leading
goal-getter, tallied his sixth goal
of the season on a flip from Bill
Jacobson at 6:56 of the final
frame to set the stage for Mc-
Millan's tying shot.
but a big joke; because anyone
can plainly see that Michigan was
trying to gather a whole barrel
full of points against Southern
California, while the easy-going
kids from Notre Dame (who, inci-
dentally, had a terrible time try-
ing to hold themselves to a mere
36 points in the first quarter
against Tulane) were taking it
easy on their little friends from
the coast.
Mr. Costin points out that
Frank Leahy and Jeff Cra-
vath are old buddies, and inter-
sectional rivals, and fellow foot-
ball coaches just trying to get
along in the world, and all that
sort of stuff; so why should the
Irish rub it in.
Ile says that the Notre Dame
jayvees played most of the sec-
ond half, and he points out that
the Irish didn't throw a single
pass in the whole last half of the
Trojan game.
It was a very touching article
indeed, any Anyone reading it
would certainly not hesitate to
award Santa Claus Leahy a good
good neighbor orchid or somethin'
for his consideration of Jeff's feel-
ings. But I'm afraid that Mr.
Costin let his enthubiasm kun
away with his common sense-and
besides that he left out a fact or,
two.
In the first place, at the time
the Irish and Southern California
tangled, the Trojans were regard-
ed as the nation's number 3 team,
and many persons gave them a
fighting chance to defeat Leahy's
boys. Now, the score, as I happen
to recall it, was only 10-7 at the
half,
Much as I would love to believe
in the brotherly spirit of Santa
Leahy, I find it extremely hard to
convince myself that he would
take that much of a chance of
losing the National Championship
just to spare Cravath's feelings. I
sort of think that the Irish would
have liked just a bit safer lead at
the intermission-that is, if they
could have gotten it.
In regard to Michigan's laying
it on the Trojans in the second
half, I would like to respectfully
submit to Mr. Costin a simple
problem in mathematics. Michi-
gan had 21 points at the end of
the 1st half, Notre Dame man-
aged to collect 10. The Wolver-
ines came up with a total of 49,
while the Irish settled for 38. Now
by simple subtraction, we come up
with an amazing fact which will
apparently be a great surprise to
Mr. Costin. Both teams scored
exactly 28 points after the inter-
mission. Apparently the Irish
were right in there swinging all
the way.
As for Notre Dame not throw-
ing any second-half passes, I'm
afraid I must point out that
Frank TrApuka, second-string-
er, was right in there pitching
them at the end.
And just one final question, Mr.
Costin. If Notre Dame was not
trying to pour it on, then why,
after scoring their final touch-
down (with apologies to Uncle
Jeff, of course) did the Irish at-
tempt an ON-SIDE kick-off in
order to try to get the ball again
in. the last 30 seconds. Just to
freeze it, no doubt.

Feature Relay

Mle Relay Quartet
Defeats Best in East
Eastern sports enthusiasts were
handed a rude surprise last Sat-
urday night when a quartet of
Michigan trackmen won the mile
relay, the feature event of the first
annual Washington Evening Star
Games in the nation's Capital.
Running against the cream of
the East, the Wolverines repre-
sented by George Shepperd, Joe
Hayden, Val Johnson, and Herb
Barten nosed out Fordham and
left a fine Navy crew far behind.
The winning time of 3:22.2 was
called an outstanding perform-
ance by Coach Doherty who, was
full of praise for his squad's per-
formance.
"They were exceptionally fine
for this early in the season," he
said. They were running on a flat
board track with rubber soled
shoes which made the going even
rougher."
In winning the feature event
the Wolverines provided a thrill-
ing finish to the great race. Lead-
ing all the way until the final lap,

Barten was overtaken by a Ford-
ham speedster only to turn on a
final burst of speed and nip him
by a mere 212 inches.
Barten's time in the anchor
quarter was 49.4 seconds which is
nothing less than phenomenal
after finishing second to Ford-
ham's Jerome Conally in the 1,000
yard run. Conally's winning tine
was 2:11.8.
