I a 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 Big }ine Set 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. SPORTS ROG GOELZ, Night Editor Just t*n -ifOI 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.

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.
