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- utes. 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. Badfers Ni By POTSY RYAN 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. Thinclads Win Feature Relay intWasington 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, Michigan's anchor - man, erb 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. FE RRY FIELD BARBERS' "THE FRIENDLY SHOP" ON WAY TO SPORTS BUILDINGS 806 SOUTH STATE STREET NV[. A. IhiILER, Prop.
