Spitfires, Detroit Farm Club
Should Prove Potent Opponent
By HERB RUSKIN
Aiming for their first victory of
the season, Michigan's potent
hockey team takes on the highly
touted Windsor Spitfires tonight
at 8:30 in the Coliseum.
It will be the first meeting of the
ttw teams.-
In its only other game of the
year, the Wolverines came from
behind to tie a strong Toledo Mer-
cury sextet last Monday night 2-2
to stretch its undefeated streak to
10 games.
THE SPITFIRES, a Detroit Red
Wing farm club, are currently in
the thick of the Ontario Hockey
Association title race, ranking sec-
ond at present and boast on their
roster, some of finest talent in
Canada.
Although a "junior" team,
with age limits 'of 18-20, they
have been rated by Wolverine
mentor Vic Heyliger as "one of
the toughest outfits we'll have
to face this year.
Again, as in the case of the To-
ledo squad, the, Spitfires will have
an advantage over the Wolverines
in that they have quite a few
games already under their belt.
Michigan, which showed quite a
bit of improvement over their ex-
hibition game with the Red Wings
in Monday night's tilt with Toledo,
will send a veteran packed squad
against the Windsor six.
The defense, which came in for
special praise from Heyliger after
vhe Toledo game, is led by letter-
mnen Connie Hill, Ross Smith and
Dick Starrak.
Hill and Bob Fleming, promising
,ophomore, will team up as one
:ombination, while Smith and
Starrak make up the second duo.
John Griffin will also be available
for duty on defense.
JACK McDONALD, now in the
third season for the Wolverines
and seemingly destined for one of
his best years, will be in goal for
the Maize and Blue sextet. Mc-
Donald, too, was singled out for
praise in the game with Toledo.
Up front also, the Wolverines
boast an experienced team. On
the first line will be Gordie Mc
Millan, holder of the all-time
Michigan scori ng' recorM,
flanked by veterans Wally
Gacek and captain Al Renfrew.
What the second line lacks in
experience, it makes up in speed,
with three of the fastest men on
the team comprising the line.
Centering the trio will be Neil
Celly with Wally Grant and Gil
Burford rounding it out.
The third line will consist of
Sam Stedman, Al Bassey and Len
Brumm.
Keen Builds
Team from
New Men
The completion of the Wolver-
ine's football season has brought
a few more men out for the wres-
tling team.
There is still a serious shortage
of top-flight men to work for
Coach Cliff Keen. There are only
three regulars back from last
year's squad. Byron Dean, who
has advanced from 121 to 128
pounds this past year; Jim Smith,
Conference champion at 136 last
season, who will go at 145; and
Captain Bob Betzig, weighing in
at 155.
The only lightweight around is
John Keller, and the best looking
of the few heavyweights is John
Hess. Hess, along with Byron Las-
key and Jack Powers, who looks
good at 175, are the football play-
ers who have shed their pads for
tights.
The most promising candidate
in the 165 pound class is Chuck
Nichols, whose two brothers Har-
old and Don had illustrious wres-
tling careers, both winning Con-
ference and NCAA Champion-
ships.
With Dean at 128, are two new-
comers Bob Cunningham and
Tom Miller.
Wolverinie Natators Compete
For Michigan Amateur Titles
By DICK HURST
When Michigan's swimmers hit
the water at 8 tonight in the final
events of the Annual Swim Gala,
determinant of the MAAU Cham-
pionships, another fine Wolverine
swimming team will be on display.
Preliminary events beginning at
2:30 this afternoon will thin
down the ranks in preparation for

For MSCBid
CHICAGO - (YP) -The annual
meeting of the Western Confer-
ence moves into high gear today
when the faculty representatives
tackle Michigan State's member-
ship bid.
Some observers believe that in-
stead of acting directly on the
Spartan bid, the league fathers
will call for a vote on whether the
Conference should be expanded. If
expansion is voted down, in effect,
the door will be gently but firmly
closed on the Spartans.

the evening's activities. The pre-
lims will be free while in the eve-
ning students will be charged 50
cents and the general public $1.00.
A well-rounded schedule of
events that has drawn entries
from the outstanding swimmers
in the state will be presented
along with this preview of Mich-
igan aquatic skill,
The one day meet has attracted
172 men, 74 women, 20 high school
performers, and 14 boys under 12.
Included among these are two out-
standing members of last year's
NCAA Championship team, Harry
Holiday and Gil Evans top-notch
back stroke and diving artists.
Competition for the men in-
cludes two free style events, the
50 and 440, the 100 yard breast
stroke, 50 yard back. stroke, the
200 yard free style relay, 75 yard
individual medley, 50 yard breast
stroke, and three meter diving.
Michigan's high school natators
will compete against each other in
the 100 yard free style relay while
boys under 12 will go for the hon-
ors over a 25 yard course.
With OSU still hanging on to
their perennial diving dynasty,
any hope of snatching points
from the Buckeyes in that event
lies in the Wolverine trio, Ralph
Trimborn, Frank Eyster, and
Jim Hartman.
Trimborn flashed some excel-
lent form last year and may be
Michigan's number one man in
diving this year. However, both
Eyster and Harm Hartman have
come along well and should give
the veteran a run for his money.

(This is the last in a series of
articles concernting the Western
Conference.)
By PRES HOLMES
Although the Western Confer-
ence controls athletics the faculty
representatives from each school
are in no way connected with
them.
In fact it was voted in April 1912
that "the Faculty Representative
of each University in the Con-
ference must be a person who re-
ceives no pay for any services con-
nected with Athletics or the De-
partment of Physical Culture."
A few days later the Univer-
sity Presidents recommended
dual representation, one of the
two men from each institution
to be a member of the athletic
staff, but this proposal was
voted down.
Ten years later the office of
"Commissioner of Athletics" was
established. The Commissioner
was to serve as a general secretary,
promote educational campaigns on
amateurism, and carry on investi-
gations regarding intercollegiate
athletic problems.
Major John L. Griffith wads
elected to the post on June 22,
1922. In December 1944, Major
Griffith died, and the following
March Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson,
Athletic Director of Northwestern
University, was appointed, as new
Commissioiner.
Ralph W. Aigler, Michigan's
faculty representative, is the
veritable dean of the representa-
tives as he has been - en the
board since 1917. Minnesota's
representative, Henry Ro tt -
schaefer, is a distant second as
he was appointed in 1934. The
other men have all been named
in the last twelve years.
It will be up to these representa-
tives to decide whether or not the
Western Conference should again
be the "Big Ten." They are sched-
uled to vote on the matter of ac-
cepting Michigan State today.
It is not important whether
there are nine or ten teams in the
Conference. The salient feature is
that the rigid standards and high
caliber of play must be main-
tained.
