THE MICHIGAN DAILY Cage Spoly-[IsVed la Sifleie CcStudy By IH ySuee , I Wolverine Coach By BE% 1USSEY Basketball is not only a gan'- its a scientific study to Cuah Ozzie Cowles, the mai mainly ye- sponsible for Michigan's lX)SitiOn on top of the Big Nine bask t- ball heap. When the Wolverines come up against the Gophers at Min- neapolis tomorrow, they will face the unenviable task of stopping Minnesota's cagers, who have been beaten but' onc on, their home court in the past two years by a Conference op- ponent. But any squad drilled by Cowles is looked upon with great respect, for he is considered one of the keenest mentors in college ball. When Cowles packed his bags back l. sit am.itt to Ann Ar- buy r i n w1 fa ll f '46, he left be- ithul l mi i a tradi mark as Dart- iiiuul th' caw %wizard." By winning six Ivy League crowns during his eight year stay in Hanover, N.H., he be- came a great favorite with the townspeople. In his last year as coach of the Indians, he led the team to the Ivy League title. Even when Cowles first started coaching at Dartmouth, his ap- prentices soon learned that he was a stickler for fundamentals and defensive tactics. This sea- son his ideas of how the game should be played have paid off in six Conference wins to date. Prior to each clash, every team is scouted thoroughly for weaknesses, strong points, and any peculiar individual traits. As an example, when Wisconsin was scouted early in the year, it was noticed that Bob Cook seldom took a lay-up shot after break- ing into the left side of the bas- ket. By studying this sort of in- formation, Cowles can plan his defense accordingly. And does psychology enter the picture at all? "Only to the extent," Cowles said, "that the boys must be sold on the type of defense to be used." According to the Michigan coach, the man-to-man's most important advantage is the in- dividual's responsibility and pride in preventing his man from scor- ing. Cold facts show that the Mich- igan "wizard," with persistent tu- toring, has developed a respon- siblehgroup of players, who, in their second year together, are on the verge of giving Michigan its first basketball champ onship in almost two decades. There are -a limited number of tickets still available for the hockey game Saturday night when, the. Michigan skaters plays host to Western Ontario. The ducats will go on sale at 8:30 a.m. today, and it is em- phasized that students bring their LD. cards. Wally Ris Sets Pace for loiva Tanuk Ira XSIOU W~ill Appe at' here T1u.ontorrow 1Lvenjin Iowa's dangerous swimming team, which fell to Ohio State last week by only a handful of points, invades Michigan tomorrow eve- ning at the Intramural pool. Highly-Touted Pacing Iowa's attack, will be Wally Ris, one of the greatest free stylers of all time. He claims five National AAU sprint cham- pionships plus several major rec- ords. Already this season he has shattered Johnny Weismuller's long standing record over 100 yards (long course) with a :51.9 effort. However, Ris is not Iowa's lone point-getter. Turning in good times this year have been breast strokers Dick Lake, holder of the Iowa record at 200 yards (short course), and freshman Larry Lar- imore. Can Cause Troubles In the back stroke, Dick Maine, former Big Nine champ and Henry Henry Griesback, a first year man, expect to give the Wol- verines able competition. Ervin Straub, who has been pushing Ris to pool records all year long, will be Iowa's mainstay in the sprint events. In the 440 free style, the Hawk- eye entry will be veteran Dave Hutinger. Diver Dave Brockway will also bear watching.

According to Michigan's men- tor, Ken Doherty, any dieparture from form can spell defeat for the Buckeyes and produce an upset victory for the vastly-im- proved Wolverines. "It's going to be mighty close," said the veteran track mentor, who is putting his squad through its toughest workout for the duel affair slated for Yost Field House tomorrow night. "On paper, the Buckeyes must be considered the favorite," Who Will Take Indiana Post? BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 19 -(P)-Indiana University needed a new head football coach in a hurry today after the professional Detroit Lions announced they had signed Alvin N. (Bo) McMillin, contingent upon his release from a 10-year contract at I.U. -With spring football practice coining up, Indiana was expected to start an intensive search for McMillin's successor. Everybody on the campus had suggestions. Possibilities gossiped about in- cluded Paul Browi, now coach of the Cleveland Browns in the All- America League and former Ohio State coach. Others included Henry Franka of Tulsa, Sid Gilman of Miami and John Magnabosco, Ball State College coach, former Indiana fullback and one-time developer of state high school champions at Clinton. There will be a Jayvee wres- tling match with the Chicago branch of the University of Illinois at 3:30 p.m. this after- noon at the Field House. There will be no admission charged.

(herty}as' seiatlly en tlusi- astic about a po5sible duel be- tween Michigan's Captain-elect Herb Barton and Ohio's Bill Clif- ford, the NCAA half-mile champ. "They both are capable of do- ing a 4:14 mile and I know it's going to be a great race from the spectator standpoint," he said.' "It should be mighty close at the finish and it will be the final kick that will determine the out- come." Aside from the two distance events, the Wolverine mentor pointed out that the meet can be decided in the dashes where all six men competing are so closely- matched that a foot may sepaiate the first and last man. In a situation such as this, a matter of inches can determine the outcome of the entire meet and according to Ken Doherty it is entirely possible that either team may take all three top places. Ohio's Lloyd Duff will be en- tered in four events, both hurdles the broad jump and the pole vault. The versatile Buckeye should have things all his way in the hurdles but Wolverine pole vaulter Ed Ulvestad and broad jumper Bob Fancett can cause Duff a lot of trouble in the other two.
