This is accepted explana- tion of why Dick Starrak is now cutting the ice for the Maize and Blue. But whether it was this, or that great propaganda epic, "Har- mon of Michigan," which did the trick, everybody is quite satisfied with the results. As all rabid fans know, Dick plays defense on this year's ag- gregation, a shift from the wing position he held down his first two years on the Varsity. But whatever the spot, Starrak brings a vast experience of the position. It seems that since the ripe old age of six, when he went on strike to get a pair of skates, some aspect of the frozen sport has called him. While it has never been abso- lutely proven, rumor has it, he played street hockey during the snmmer thaw. His first real knock 'em down, high-sticking game came at the age of eight when he laid low the neighborhood with a rifle-like shot. While still in his nonage, a mild plague swept the city, putting all the small fry under with either the mumps or the measles. It seems that neither Dick or Gordie McMillan, another "M" man from Moose Jaw, could abide the stric- tures of their case of mumps. So they drummed up all the neigh- borhood hellions, forming two teams, "Da Mumps" and "Da Measles." Starrak and McMillan led their team to victory and a re- lapse. Hockey didn't claim quite all of the time, however. In high school, he lettered in both foot- ball and baseball, and, in his own words, "forever remained a frustrated track man!" La .Crosse wasn't a school sport but he managed this too. The local lights soon graduated into the town's amateur team, the Moose Jaw Monarchs. Sparked by such ale-bodied men, they went on to win the Juvenile Champion- ship of Alberta-Saskatchewan. And it is a winning tradition Dick brought with him, for his first two years here were on the first Big Nine hockey champs Mich- igan has had for an eon or so. The 1948 edition of the Michi- gan freshman basketball squad is beginning to take shape with a 20-man squad having been select- ed by Coach Joe Van Cisin from the more than 80 original tryouts. First Scrimmage In the first intra-squad scrim- mage held just before the Christ- mas vacation, Van Cisin was given a chance to single out his most promising players. Making a good showing were Chuck Olsen, 6'1"I from Detroit playing the center Badgers Deal 5-Man Draw, CentersHigh MADISON, Wis., Jan. 7-(A-1)-- Coach Bud Foster's sleeves are empty as far as any hidden aces are concerned, but the last shuffle he's given his University of Wis- consin basketball squad h as raised the ante on his cagers' chances in the Big Nine Confer- ence campaign. The shuffle, which has one ex- center playing guard and another operating at a forward, has paid off in the standings. The Badgers, defending conference champions on a 9-3 record a year ago, top the ladder with victories over Illi- nois and Minnesota despite pre- season dope which rated them among the also-rans. position and Chuck Murray 5'10" of Birmingham, Alabama, who held down one of the forward berths. As guards, Les Popp of Fort Wayne, Ind., Al Martin of Grand Rapids, and Lil Vanderkuy, a 6'5" boy hailing from Holland. Mich., showed up as promising players. Vanderkuy is the tallest of the aspirant cagemen. Six other candidates were praised by Coach Cisin. These ca- gers are Hank Steck, of Owosso, Mich., doubling as forward and center and Neil Brown, of Detroit who fits in at center along with Dick Ely of Toledo, O. Others seeking guard positions were Jerry Burns of Ann Arbor and Bill Agre from Saginaw. Not Final Close on the heels of this first ten are Bill Blumenthal, Bill Eg- genberger, Hal Harrington, Al Lipnick, Frank Maple, Jim Power, Walt Young, Don Campbell and Gordon Tarrant, who have been given no definite position but work out with the entire squad. The choices made for the first ten are by no means final but are mostly on the results of the first scrimmage and can be altered at any time. These 19 platers have paced the eighty freshmen and transfer stu- dents that Coach Van Cisin re- ceived with his call for tryouts. Since practice started, mostly de- fensive skills have been stressed with the exception of the pre- Christmas scrimmage. i t c t 1 i t 1 l i 1 Red Wings Invade Courtroom To Defend Defenseman Kelly DETROIT, Jan. 7-(P)-Fifteen members of the Detroit Red Wings National League hockey club appeared in traffic court today to lend "moral support" to the defense of 20-year-old defenseman Leonard (Red) Kelly. Kelly, charged with making an improper left turn, listened with dismay as his fellow defenseman Jack Stewart acted as defense counsel. But Stewart's questions and apparent lack of legal knowledge prompted Traffic Judge John D. Watts to tell Kelly:5 "You had better get another attorney before you go to jail. This man (Stewart) sounds more like a prosecutor." Kelly was convicted but sentence was suspended. The red-head, though not drawing any time in the penalty box, found the traffic judge as strict as any National Hockey LeagueI ref eree. DAILY OFFICIAL 81 By B. S.

Lectures Unive'rsity Lecture: Fred (a ert ncr, Jr., nanaging editor of the DETROIT NEWS, will speak on (Continued on Page 4) Olympics, Television, Football Rules Head NCAA Schedule NEW YORK, Jan. 7-P)-College football coaches recommended only two minor rules changes for' 1948, track coaches asked for an NCAA meet on an Olympic basis and baseball mentors bid for Olym- pic recognition today as the National Collegiate Athletic Association opened its 42nd annual convention. These were the major developments among coaching organiza- tions affiliated with the NCAA, whose executive committee restricted its initial sessions to appointments, date-setting and a discussion of television's place in college athletics. Tomorrow the Executive Committee will be handed a liberalized version of the so-called "sanity code," approved a year ago as a means to curb subsidization and intended in its present form as an amend- ment to the Association's constitution. This group turned down such proposals as the elimination of the point after touchdown, abolition of the free substitution rule and the making of a 5-formation quarterback eligible for a pass whenhe does riot stand a yard behind the line of scrimmage. "From here on in it'll be hard wo-k and plenty of it." Coaci Matt Mann warned his swimming team yesterday as the squad re- sumed practice in preparation for one of thle toughest schedules ever drawn up for the Wolverine tank- men. In a meeting of the varsity yesterday Mann said that the team will have a double incen- tive this year in tit they'll be earnestly after the Big Nine and NCAA crowns now worn by Ohio State and individually the nat- ators will be after those coveted berths on the United States Olympic Team. The regular season gets under way the week after the Spring term commences, but the squad voted yesterday to accept the in- vitations proferred by various Eastern aggregation, for five meets between semesters. Twelve men will be named to make the trip starting right after finals and they'll meet some of the top swim- ming clubs in the East. With the returtn of freestyler Dick Weinberg, who was laid up with a siege of tonsilitis and pneumonia during the v.cation the varsity will really go at it in earnest. Coach Mann said that with. the abundance of freestylers on hand it would take a :51.8 or better clocking for the 100-yard dash to make the 400-yard reIty team. He decided to return Charley Moss to his normal freestyle role where Moss has shown so well thus far and leave the remaining breaststroke posts open to Bill Upthegrove and Irv Einbinder. Time trials will continue throughout the week and into next week and then the natators, will ease off until after finals and the rough five meets in eight days that will make up their Eastern trip. - ~ ~ - ~ - ~ .........._ -- JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE 20% OFF 1 (Continued from Page 2) Science and Mathematics, 10:30-11:30.
