M yvees Open Cage Season rainst Ypsi Five Saturday Maize and Blue Quintet Out To Derail High-Flying Badgers in Crucial Tilt Michigan's jayvee basketball squad will open an eight-game schedule at 2 p.m. Saturday when it faces Michigan Normal, at Yost Field House. In the other seven contests, the cagers will face Ypsi here in a sec- ond game and engage in home- and-home series with Ohio State, Michigan State, and Toledo, Tai Squad Coach Bert Katzenmeyer, the new jayvee cage mentor, will be able to place a tall team on the floor since the overall average of the squad is well over six feet. The squad, which has been trimmed from a total of 48 try- outs, includes Dick Kempthorn, John Anderson, and Bud Royce, centers; Ed Klump, Carl Conrad, Bob Hollway, Dick Rifenburg, and Gene Estes at the forward posi- tions. At the guards are Bob Erben, Al Topping, Tom Peterson, Bump Elliott, Jerry Wingent, and Jim Manilla. Rifenburg and Hollway can also fill the pivot position. Accent on Defense Coach Katzenmeyer has been stressing defense in the several workouts that have been held this season, but the squad has put in a lot of offensive practice on the two-man pivot offense and the pick-up and screen-off plays. In the two-man pivot, Hollway and Royce have been alternating with Anderson, who has been bothered by a bad leg. Despite the injury, Anderson has been highly praised by Katzenmeyer for his work. Lauds Shooting The shooting of Kempthorn, Topping, and Erben as well as the ball handling of Anderson and Topping have been very promising, according to Coach Katzenmeyer. He also praised the improvement shown by Rifenburg and Hollway under the basket, and the work of Royce. The cage activities of Kemp- thorn, Anderson, Erben, Hollway, Rifenburg, Peterson, ahd Elliott did not begin until after they had concluded their recent Rose Bowl activities. 'M' Title Hopes Hinge 011 Victory Coach Ozzie Cowles' Wolverine cage quintet will be hard pressed to stop the rampaging Badgers of Wisconsin who are threatening to walk away wfth the Western Con- ference championship before half of the teams have a chance to eliminate early season bugs. Aided by a schedule which pit- ted them against the three teams that were rated at the start of this season as most likely to de- throne the title-defending Badg- ers, the lads from Madison cur- rently top the Big Nine standings with four victories and no defeats. Smooth Victory Path Another factor which has given emphasis to the Wisconsin title hopes is the team's smooth show- ing inlits three tough games which saw Indiana, Illinois and Minne- sota bow by respective scores of1 58 to 54, 52 to 47 and 59 to 50. The Badgers annexed their fourth conference triumph by disposing of an improved Iowa squad. ' Because of this year's schedule no other team in the Conference is' within striking distance of the Wisconsin quintet. Illinois, Minne- sota and Michigan all have lost at least one game and will not start{ on their tougher Conference games for at least another week.> Michigan, which won its open- er from Minnesota and lost its second start to Northwestern, isI the next of the "Big Four" to make the attempt to halt the men from Madison. Ozzie Cowles willI have to develop a stronger scoring' punch if the Wolverines are to' stop Wisconsin's starting five cur- READY - Coach Newt Loken will send his varsity gymnastics team against Minnesota in the year's Big Nine opener at the Intramural Building at 8 p.m. Saturday instead of in the af- ternoon, as previously an- nounced in The Daily. The sport was revived here last spring after a 14-year lapse. rently paced by Bob Cook, Ed Mills and Dick Falls. Easy Road Ahead? If the Badgers can get by Mich- igan Saturday they will be on the easy part of their scheaule with- out a defeat and while the other contenders are fighting it out among themselves, the Wisconsin squad should be able to pull away from the runners-up at the ex- pense of the weaker Conference teams. Coach Bud Foster, while com- plaining that this year's outfit is not as good as last year's title win- ning team admits that the 1947-48 version of the Badgers are fast rounding into the smooth style of play that sparked last year's championship quintet. He gives credit to the strong showing of the reserves and the Foster "for- muila" which stresses patience, spirit and willingness to experi- ment.

By II. B. RUSKIN1 There's no "Little Brown Jug" at stake, but the rivalry between the Michigan and Minnesota hoc- key teams is just as intense as it is on the gridiron. The two puck squads, who meet Friday night at Minneapolis in the first of a four-game series, have faced each other 90 times over a 25-year span, with the Golden Gophers holding a distinct edge over the Wolverines. The Northmen have won 57 of the con- tests, while Michigan has tri- umphed only 24 times, with nine terminating in deadlocks. Change of Tide In the last two seasons the Wol- verines have had the better of the play, winning four, while los- ing two and tying two. The years before 1946, however, were lean for the Maize and Blue pucksters as they garnered only one victory in 23 contests. It was during this period, from 1939 to 1945 that two of the worst defeats in Michigan's hockey his- tory were inflicted by the Gophers, as they downed the Wolverines 10-0 and 15-2 in 1945. Series Born in '22. The series, which began in 1922, saw Minnesota grab the first con- test, 6-3 and then take three out of the next four tilts. Almost one-third of the games have been decided by one point, indicating the closeness between these two traditional rivals on the ice. In total goals scored, too, theI Gophers hold a better than 2-1 margin, having netted the puck 298 times, while Minnesota goal- tenders have allowed only 142 goals by the Wolverines. rAIALY OFFICIAL C i4 '. v / ii; : \ \\ " " .
