Tonight's game will start at 8 and face-off tomorrow will be at 8:30 p.m. Both games will be broadcast by WPAG-FM. Tech Beaten Twia2 # Engineer Coach Eddie Maki will bring his charges south in an at- tempt to revenge the early season losses to the Wolverines at Houghton and the rough treat- ment that Michigan has handed the Huskies since the 47-game se- ries began back in 1921. The Maize and Blue squads have copped 28 of the matches while losing only 17. Last year the two r\Michigan's teams split a pair of games, the Wolverines winning the first, 3-1, and losing the second by the identical count. Since the 9-8 ;nd 4-0 defeats j handed to the Techmen by Vic Heyliger's veteran team, the Houghton lads have been trodding the way of mediocrity, winning three and losing five. Their most recent wins were a pair over Colo- rado College two weeks ago, 4-0 and 3-2, and a victory over Min- nesota's Gophers last week, 4-3. 'M' Favored Michigan, on the other hand, hasn't suffered defeat since the Minnesota game last month when they lost in overtime, 5-4, and will be heavy favorites in the tradi- tional series. Two of Maki's brothers, Abbie and Al, the currently donned in Michigan Tech padding and will see action in both games. The Huskies' mentor announced his starting line-up for the initial game yesterday and it will be headed by Jack Noblet in goal. His brother, Dick, will hold down one 3f the defensive positions, and Ab- bie Maki will fill the other defense spot. Ted Olson and Burt Petaja will flank Jimmy Ruhl on the starting line. Heyliger will counter with his usual starters, Jack McDonald, goalie, Ross Smith and Connie Hill, defense, and Gordie McMil- lan, Bill Jacobson and Al Ren- frew, linesmen. McMillan will be seeking to smash his all-time scor- ing record for a single season of play. He now has 52 points in 19 games and in 1945-46 he tallied for 56 markers in 23 contests.

To Coach C zie Cowles, the most satisfying thing about his boys is the "way they played on the road." On foreign territory they swept aside four of the blig- : ;est stumbling blocks on the road to the Big Nine championship. Those squads were at their peak when the rampaging Wolverines entered town. Despite the unfriendly crowds and unfamiliar courts, the Wol- verines three top scorers in the final standings counted close to half of their totals away. Suprunowicz Seventh. Mack Suprunowicz, the catlike forward who sprung into action after a slow start, wound up in seventh place in Western Con- ference standings with 145 points. Named on the United Press All- Conference second team, Supey impressed the sports scribes with his aggressiv"eness by dumping 68 points before othecr Big Teni stu- dents. Finishing ninth, Captain Bob Harrison went hungry in the first Northwestern game at Evanston, but his scoring famine ended there as he racked up 71 markers in the remaining five road games. Add these to his home figures and the result is 140 points Rookie Also Places Don McIntosh, the only new- comer to break into the starting ranks,, also broke into the list of final standings by swishing 115 for fourteenth place. A closer peek at his record reveals that almost three-fourths of these were reg- istered in out-of-town tilts. Mc- Intosh accounts for this by say- ing, "I seem to tighten up trying to play better in front of friends." ARE YOU UNAWARE OF UNDERWEAR? the title.
