The fine Tiger first line is sparked by Captain Leo Soligo at center with Omer Brandt and Norm Diviny at the wings. Brandt, popularly known as "The Bull" was the third lead- ing Colorado scorer last year with 53 points tallied when he was a member of the great Hartwell - Frasca - Brandt trio. Soligo was fourth in team scor- dng with 39 while Diviney tied for fifth with 23 points. Colorado's second line, centered y veteran Pete Kosick and flank- d by Ken Simon and Andy Gam- ucci is another strong scoring !ireat. The third trio is com- rised entirely of juniors, featur- ig high-scoring Ed Robson at ft wing, Bill Clark at the other ank and Len Gagnon at center. The Tigers also boast a top- otch defensive allignment. Head- i by such stalwarts as Len Mac- ni, Dll "Prince" Thompson, Jim 'eir, Fred Eastwood, Dick Ken- Me1c and Carl Lawrence, the Colo- Ldo defense promises to be a ,ugh one to penetrate. * , s COAC Vic H[eyliger's Wolver- es will have i couple of prob- ms of their own to cope with be- les the rugged Colorado club. In e first place, Michigan has al- tys had quite a bit of trouble tting usedl to the thin air down the mile-high cities of Col- do Springs and Denver. The Wolverines have also been gued with some "second line .d sloppy passing" problems in eir two games played so far this ar. Ieyliger has attempted to medy the difficulty with the cond offensive trio by switch- ig George Chin over to center ad butting Doug Phllpott on to wing. If this doesn't work, sere has been talk about mov- ig defenseinan Jim Haas up wing. the Wolverines will have to be top form if they are to come of the four games with Den- and Colorado in good shape as far as their aspirations in the Midwest league are concerned. Heyliger is pulling for at least a- split on the road, hoping to pick up ground on the two Colo- rado clubs when they travel to meet Dakota and Michigan Tech. Both the Sioux of North Dakota and Al Renfrew's Engineers are rough to beat on their home ice. Michigan plays another game on the road after Christmas vacation, meeting the vastly improved Mich- igan State Spartans in a league' contest at East Lansing Jan. 7 be- fore returning home to play the University of Montreal on Jan. 9 and 10.

Groffsky is right be- hind him with 55 markers. The Wolverines will move to Lafayette Monday night to take on Purdue in another confer- ence tilt. The Boilermakers, however, shouldn't give Michi- gan as much trouble as the Hoosiers are expected to dish out, as they are picked to again fill the Big Ten basement spot they occupied last season. After the Purdue game Perigo's boys will remain idle until Dec. 29 when they meet Butler here. On Jan. 3 Michigan will face Indiana again, this time in Ann Arbor.

Dur-1 ing his 28 years of coaching his1 teams have won well over 80% of1 all their matches. * * * UNDER KEEN'S tutelage the Wolverine matmen have finished no lower than 3rd in the Big Ten Conference in 24 out of 28 sea- sons. Last year they placed sec- ond only to Illinois in the Con- ference finals. Keen has produced more than his share of National Champions, eleven, in all. Ed Don George, who later became World's Professional Heavyweight Champion, learned his wrestling here at Michigan under Keen, while in 1928 Keen had four of his Michigan wrest- lers representing the United States in the Olympics. Keen himself was an outstand- ing wrestler in his college days at Oklahoma A & M. In fact, he won the 158 pound National Wrestling Championship. Even now Coach Keen keeps himself in good condition and spends much time demonstrating the proper KEEN'S ORIGINAL interest in wrestling dates back to when he had just enrolled in college. One day while he was on the gym floor shooting a little basketball, one of the fellows on the wrestling team having no one to spar with asked Keen to practice a few holds with him. Sinc6 the wrestler was about thirty pounds lighter than him- self, Keen thinking that he could easily take care of thej fellow readily agreed. After a few minutes in which the wrest- her had thrown him all over the mats, Keen began to wonder how it was done. To find out he Coach Keen admits that In the past Iowa, Oklahoma, and Pen)n- sylvania have emphasized wrest- ling more than any other states and consequently have produced most of the good college wrestlers. In the last several years, however, amateur wrestling has been. rap- idly gaining popularity in both high schools and colleges. "Amateur wrestling has no con- nection with the acts that pro- fessional wrestlers put on today," states Coach Keen, "amateur wrestling like that done in college is a real sport that depends solely on strength and skill." holds and lers. techniques to his wrest- joined the wrestling squad eventually becamesone of outstanding performers of time. and the his ByE. J. SMITH A foretaste of the good times ahead for the Michigan track team was given last night as freshmen and sophomores put on a sur- prisingly strong showing before losing to the juniors and seniors 50-66. The only senior to win an event was Van Bruner, who true to form triumphed in both the high and low hurdles.- OUTSTANDING performance of the meet was turned in by diminu- tive freshman high jumper Mark Booth. Booth easily topped the old time trial and freshman rec- ords as he sailed over the bar at 6 feet, 51/2 inches.' Senior Bob Evens also per- formed in an encouraging man- ner, leaping to the height of 6 feet 4 inches, the highest he has ever done. Sophomores Ross Coates and John Vallortigara, who ran one- two in the sixty, indicate that the Wolverines may be stronger than usual in their perennial weakness, the sprints. Coates' time in win- ning was :06.4. * * * THE ONLY other victor for the underclassmen was Geoff Dooley, who triumphed in the half mile with classmate John Moule close. on his heels. Dooley was clocked in under two minutes. Junior John Ross showed that he is still running in form that captured both indoor and out- door conference mile titles as he led teammates Bill Hickman and George Lynch to the tape. Ross' time was a swift 4:18.6. In the two mile run junior Bob Hall came from behind on the last lap to beat his pace setting classmate Buzz Guise to add to the upperclassmen's total. BRUNER was the meet's only double winner, with an :08.3 clock- ing in the highs and a :07.5 time in the lows. In both events he was followed over the finish line by sophomore transfer student Tom Hendricks. A quartet composed of Grant Scruggs, Dan Hickman, Bill Barton, and Jack Carroll raced to victory over both freshmen and upperclass units in the mile relay. Freshman Bill Bryant and jun- ior Roger Maugh tied for honors in the pole vault with the bar at 12 feet 9 inches. First place in the broad jump went to junior Bill Micheals. Micheals is in his first year of varsity competition. With Fritz Nilsson still recov- ering fro ma leg operation, and unable to compete, George Ham- mond took the shotput for the upperclassmen. F Ray Robinson Leaves Boxing; To Continue Business Career NEW YORK - ( P) - Middle- weight champion Sugar Ray Rob- inson positively retired from the ring yesterday to devote his time to his business and dancing ca- reer, making the announcement through Abe Greene, commission- er of the National Boxing Asso- ciation in a backhanded punch atj the New York State Athletic Com- mission. As New York stripped Robinson of his title Dec. 4 for not defend- ing within six months, the' 32- year-old Harlem dandy made his formal retirement through Greene in a mimeographed release. Sugar Ray, one of boxing's all time greats with only three de- feats in a brilliant career of 137 pro fights, said in an interview: "At this stage of my career I don't feel I can give my follow- ers the best I have. I don't want to let them down. "A lot of very big people, and I mean very big people, in box- ing put a lpt of pressure on me to go through with a Randy Turpin match. But I felt I should have made this an- nouncement long before. "I don't want to be like a lot of others who didn't retire in time." .. .- Hap--- .. .... .. . - . .

ILLINOIS FAVORED: Holiday Cage 'ilts Hold Key to Big Ten Title With only three Big Ten games played thus far this year, the Christmas holidays should hold the key to who the next Confer- ence hardwood champion will be. __ _ _ i f I 3 3 3 3 3 3 3. 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 7Ae Peqfect 9(t- TkA io~i i~n~n~i~n I The indication is already that the Illinois cagers are shaping up as the team to beat. In its only Big Ten game Illinois had com- plete mastery in handling Michi- gan a 96-66 drubbing. Loyola failed to bother the Illini in their single non-conference contest. WISCONSIN, holding a 1-0 conference record by virtue of a 75-70 tilt over Iowa, will be in close contention for the winner's laurels. Marquette fell victim to the Badgers, 76-55 in the season's opener. Laboring under the burden of losses to Illinois and Iowa, the Wloverines would have a long way to climb to get back to the top of the Big Ten heap. The Hawkeye quintet has split 1-1 in Iowa's two conference games. Although Iowa doesn't possess a team equipped to take the championship, they appear good enough to finish in the top portion of the listings. TOP BILLED games for the hol- idays include the Ohio State-Illi- nois game and the Wisconsin-Iowa game. JANUARY 2-31 114 E.
