FTERNOON DIPS:
Swimmers Open Dual Season
Against Purdue Saturday

Over Central N

GA

'Cagers Press

Wolverine swimmers will get
their first taste of Big Nine dual
competition at 3 p.m. Saturday
when they face the Purdue Boiler-
makers in the Varsity Pool at the
I-M Building.
Fresh from a highly success-
ful our of the East, Coach Matt
Mann's crew faces a stiff sched-
ule of six dual meets during
the next four weeks.
With four meets, all won by lop-
sided margins, under their belts,
the Wolverines are aiming for the
all-important Conference meet in
Iowa on March 12-13.
The Purdue team led by ace
freestyler and breaststroker Keith
Carter, was defeated by Ohio
State in their last outing, but are
still regarded as one of the five
top teams in the Conference.
Carter, who set the world's
record for the 100-yard breast-

stroke in the Purdue Gala with
a :59., clocking, is regarded as a
definit Olympic threat in both
the freestyles sprints and his
specialty.
Coach Dick Papenguth also has
Harry Willis, topnotch diver on
his roster. Willis was nosed out by
National Champ Miller Anderson
in the Buckeye meet and is ex-
pected to give Wolverine divers Gil
Evans and Ralph Trimborn their
toughest competition of the year.
At full strength and with po-
tentially one of the strongst
aggregations ever assembled,
the Wolverines have been in-
stalled as co-favorites with the
Buckeyes for the Conference ti-
tle . and. Saturday's. meet . will
give Coach Mann a good picture
of what his tankmen can do
against some of the better swim-
mers in the Big Nine.

Badgers, Iowa
Set Fast Pace
In Court Race
Wier, McIntyre Top
Conference Scorers
With all of the Big Nine schools
at,,or beyond, the half-way point
in this year's Western Conference
basketball campaign, the two top
honors in the race are still at
stake and will not be decided
until the latter part of this month.
Wisconsin, defending titlist, is
staving off the championship
drives of both Michigan and Iowa.
Both the Badgers and Hawkeyes
have played two more games than
Michigan's five and are leading
the Conference with six wins and
two defeats. Michigan trails with
four victories as against the same
number of setbacks.
Indiyidual Scoring
In view of its two upset vic-
tories over Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, the Wolverines have regained
their pre-seasonal rating as the
team to beat.
If the fight for the title is close,
then the scoring race becomes
even closer when the two leaders
are compared. Murray Wier of
Iowa and Jim McIntyre of Minne-
sota are both out to top the 1944
mark of 208 points. set by Dick
Ives of Iowa.
Since Wier and McIntyre have
four and five games remaining,
respectively, there is an outside
chance that the Conference mark
of 256 points set by Andy Phil
lips in 1942 will be endangered.
Wier has averaged 22.5 points a
game for 177 points, and McIntyre
has 168 points for an average of,
24 points per game.
Point-Producers
Following the two leaders for
scoring honors are Dick Schnitt-
ker of Ohio State with 125 points
in eight games and Dwight Eddle-
man, Illinois' versatile athlete,
with the same point total.
In reaching their high point to-
tals, Weir and McIntyre have con-
tinued to pace the other Con-
ference scorers in both the num-
ber of field goals and foul shots.
Weir has dropped in 69 shots
from outside the foul circle as
compared to McIntyre's 55 bas-
kets.
Bob Harrison, Michigan guard,
is also included in the latest list
of top Big Nine scorers with 74
points to his credit in the big
Big Nine games.
Valpey Blasts
Harvard Story
Rumors were flying yesterday to
the effect that Art Valpey, Michi-
gan's assistant football coach, was
being considered for the head grid
coaching post at Harvard vacated
by Dick Harlow.
Vlpey, however, blasted the
report, asserting, "It's all news
to me."
An outstanding end at Michi-
gan from 1935-37, Valpey coached
at Manchester and Midland high
schools and then returned to Ann
Arbor in 1942 to join the Wolver-
ine coaching staff.

LOOKING AHEAD-Coach Oz-
zie Cowles, who has directed
his Michigan quintet to upset
victories over Wisconsin and
Illinois, will send his boys
against Purdue here Saturday
evening to more firmly estab-
lish thier hold in the first di-
vision.
North Carolina
Tops Nation's
h~oop Scorers
NEW YORK, Feb. 1-(IP"-Un-
less North Carolina State sudden-
ly loses its scoring punch, the
high scoring Wolfpack should
have no trouble at all capturing
the major college basketball scor-
ing championship.
For the third consecutive
week, the Southern Conference
leaders Paced the field with a
78.7 points-per-game average
for 22 games through Feb. 7.
The only five with an outside
chance to catch the Wolfpack
is Rhode Island State, which has
averaged 75.9 per game for 14
contests.
Bradley vaulted from fifth
to third, averaging 70.7 per
game. Bowling Green dropped
a notch to fall into a' fourth
place tie with Western Ken-
tucky each with 70.5. Lawrence
Tech is sixth with 69.7 and
Indiana State is ninth with 66.6.
Oklahoma A. & M. continued
to sport the best defensive rec-
ord, allowing only 32.4 points per
game to the opposition in 20
games. This does not include the
record low of 15 points to which
the Aggies held Creighton last
Monday.
Alabama's 38.0 was next best,
followed by Wyoming, Tulane,
St. Louis and Penn State.
Best free throw shooters were
the Texas Longhorns who con-
verted 227 fouls in 314 tries for a
.723 percentage. Wisconsin was
third with .672 and Northwestern
fifth with .671. Oregon State's
field goal persenage of .380 was
the best in that department.
Southern Methodist committed
the fewest personal fouls on an
average of 13.2 and Iowa State
had the most with an average of
23.5.
Plenty of Rookies
CHICAGO, Feb. 11-(P)-The
American League will start train-
ing March 1 with a total of 30
players, including 135 rookies o
whom the profuse-peddling St
Louis Browns will test the most.
The world -champion New York
Yankees boast the biggest 194
roster, 42 players, followed by St
Louis with 40; Detroit, 39; Phila-
delphia and Cleveland, 37 each;

j EW WAYS TO MAKE THE FAMOUS FiiGERNAIL TEST

By B. S. BROWN
Just as the early bird gets the
worm, the early student gets the
ducats.
With the two most important
hockey contests of the current
campaign slated here for Fri-
day and Saturday nights, Michi-
gan puck fans flocked to the
ticket office yesterday morning
and bought out 2,600 paste-
boards for both contests in less
than three hours.
All of which lends weight to the
cry that Michigan needs a larger
skating rink. There are 20,000
potential fans of the ice sport on
Campus plus a few hockey-
minded townspeople who never
get the opportunity to see the
Michigan skaters.
And the 1,300 hardy followers
of Vic Heyliger and his team
might appreciate a new rink.
The Coliseum "refrigerator"
manages to take its toll among
the uninitiated each week who

dress as though they were at-
tending a water polo match.
One half of the roof has been
covered with plaster-board, but
through the other half drips all
the precipitation due to melting
of the roof-adorning ice.
The no smoking rule which
has not been enforced was en-
acted because of the poor ven-
tilation. By the time the sec-
ond period reaches the mid-
way mark the fans usually have
trouble distinguishing the play-
ers, and before the game ends,
even the keen-sighted individ-
uals remark on the resemblance
to a London fog.
The fact still remains, however,
that there are no seats for the
Michigan-Gopher fracases avail-
able. And no SRO, either.
