AA U CLASSIC SATURDAY:
Frosh Swimmers Shine in'Detroit Meet
By TED PAPES
The Hilltoppers of Marquette
became Michigan's first basketball
victims of the season last night
when they bowed to the Wolver-
'ines, 40-37, in the Yost Fieldhouse.
It was the fifth defeat for the
yisitors against a single victory.
Michigan broke loose with a
scrappy attack and defense mid-
way in the first half to turn the
tide against Marquette's six-foot-
seven center, Grant Wittberger,
and his mates who had jumped
off to an early lead.
DURING THE contest the win-
ners came from behind six times.
They failed to score until 5:24
when Bill Putich broke loose to
drive in for the first field goal.

Putich stepped out of the
Wolverine Rose Bowl backfield
long enough to provide the
spark which ignited the bas-
ketball team. He racked up ten
points, second only to center
Leo VanderKuy who scored 12.
In addition he and Charlie
Murray put power into Michigan's
rebounding as they outfought the
Hilltoppers under both boards.
Three consecutivebaskets by
VanderKuy and a long one-hand-
er by Jim Skala at 11:50 wiped
out Marquette's early advantage
and gave their quintet a 12-11
edge.
THE WOLVERINES again fell
behind, staying there until Pu-
tich deadlocked the teams at 23-
23 with a long set shot from the
center court shortly before the
initial half ended.
After the intermission Coach
Ernie McCoy sent his most ef-
fective combination onto the
floor.
Skala and Paul Geyer manned
the forwards with VanderKuy at
center and Murray and Putich
guards. Skala took an out-of-
bounds pass from VanderKuy and
hit a long shot from the corner to
send Michigan to the front.
THE LEAD changed back and
forth until VanderKuy took final
command for the Wolverines with
a hook shot from in close for a
34-33 margin with eight minutes
left.
Bob Olson replaced Skala at
that point and fired a looping
one-hander through the netting
from far out to widen the gap.
Putich, who played the entire
game, pumped in a basket and
free throw and that was enough to
hold off the pressing Hilltoppers
as Michigan effectively controlled
the ball.
* * *
THE VICTORS switched their
defense at halftime from a man-
to-man to a tight zone and al-
lowed only six field goals from
that point.
Wittenberg and forward Glenn
Sievers led the 'Toppers on of-
fense with eight points each.
Their starting guard, senior Rus-
sell Geldmacher, injured his trick
knee early in the contest and had
to be removed.
The game produced few fouls.
Michigan converted six of its doz-
en attempts from the charity line
and Marquette capitalized on five
out of nine.
The Wolverines are idle until
Saturday night when they will
meet Butler's cagers at Indian-
apolis.

The showing of the freshmen
natators in their initial meet of
the year last Saturday should give
Michigan fans no worry about the
future of Wolverine swimming
teams in the next ifew years.
Participating in a Michigan
AAU meet in Detroit, the Wolver-
ine swimmers swept the first four
places in the 100 yard free-style,
the first three places in the 400
yard race, and first place in the
40 yard free-style.
* * *
TOM BENNER, one of Michi-
gan's brightest free-style pros-
pects, turned in a double win, an-
nexing both the 40 and 100 yard
tests. The freshman won the
shorter race in 18.3, good time for
the 40 ,and took the 100 in 55.5.

100 with little space between the
first and fourth men. Byberg
and Luis Childs, 400 yard free-
styler, were the lone upperclass-
men making the trip, all the

the 100 due to the fact that he

CHILDS will face varsity swim-

the coming AAU meet. Another
standout in this event will be Bur-
well Jones, a distance man from
Detroit.
The AAU meet which official-
ly inaugurates the Wolverines'
season and Coach Matt Mann's
26th year as coach of the Mich-
igan natators will attract an ar-
ray of stars from the state of
Michigan.
The diving competition will be
keen with Jim Hartman of this
year's squad facing George Eyster,
leading diver of last year's team,
and Alex Canja, captain of the
1947-48 team. John Davies, Olym-

ly recorded times of under 52 sec-

CHILDS, a sophomore, scored a
victory in the long 400 yard race
with a 4:37.3 time. Barry Way-
brum and Ed Burrows placed sec-
ond and third, respectively, in this
test. 1
All of these men will get their
second look at competition in the
17th Annual AAU meet at Ann
Arbor this Saturday. Entries are
expected from Michigan State
and a number of athletic clubs
in Detroit.
Benner expects to see stronger
competition this Saturday than he
saw last week in Detroit. Dick

As soon as the finishing touches
can be added, a Midwestern Col-
lege Hockey Conference will be set
up with Michigan counted as an
unofficial member.
Since the Big Ten has refused to
recognize the new league, West-
ern Conference teams are forced
to submit to unofficial member-
ship.
MICHIGAN STATE and Minne-
sota are the other Big Ten schools
that have accepted unoffical
membership (Minnesota's accep-
tance is still tentative, however)
in the seven team league that will
also include Michigan Tech, Col-
orado College, Denver University I
and North Dakota.
As far as the Big Ten is con-
cerned, no such thing as the new
league exists, but Michigan's
Athletic Director H. O. "Fritz"
Crisler said "if Western Con-
ference teams wish to play
other teams and have the re-
sults entered onany standings
that might be set up, it would
be perfectly okay."
Thus Big Ten teams can parti-
cipate in league play but are not
permitted to commit themselves
to either a definite schedule or a
constitution and by-laws which
tie league may set up.
THE NEW conference will func-
tion similarly to other hockey
leagues in that the leader in the
standings will be determined on
a point basis (two points for a
win, one point for a tie and noth-
ing for a loss).
A maximum of 12 games, two
with each opponent, will be per-
Limit Hockey
Ticket Sales
To Game Day
Tickets for Michigan's home
hockey games will no longer be
subject to advance sale but will
be limited to distribution the day
of the game, according to Ticket
Manager Don Weir.
Both student and reserved seat
tickets may be purchased at the
Ticket Office in the Athletic Ad-
ministration Building from 8:30
to 4:30 on Friday for the game
that evening and from 8:30 to
12:00 on Saturday for games that
night.
STUDENT TICKETS are $.60
each and reserved seat tickets
$1.50.
In addition, tickets may be
bought at the Coliseum box of-
fice the night of the game from
5:00 on. All home games start
at 8:00 p.m.
The policy of limiting hockey
ticket sale to the day of the
game was instituted after it was
found that last year's policy lead
to unequal and unfair distribu-
tion.
mitted to be recorded on the
standings. Thus, with teams
that might be playing each other
four times in home-and-home
two-game series, the results of
the first game of each series will
be recognized in the standings.
Presumably the champion andj
runner-up in league play would
receive bids as the West's repre-
sentatives in the NCAA hockey
championship playoffs with the
two top teams from the East.
AS A RESULT of the Big Ten's
stand in regard to the league,'
Western Conference teams are
not required to comply with the
hockey circuit's schedule ruling
that member teams play each of
the other teams in the league on
a home-and-home basis.
Thus Michigan still retains
complete freedom in arranging
its hockey schedule to include
the teams that it wants to play
and where it wants to play
them.
It happens that the Wolverines'
present schedule includes all the
teams now listed in the league, but
Michigan is not obligated to play
these teams in the future nor to
play them at home one year and
away the next, as the league re-
quires.
