There is some solace to be had in the fact that this year's edition of the Wolverine cagers still is ahead of last season's record. At this time in 1952, the Maize and Blue had a five won, nine lost mark as contrasted to the eight wins in 15 outings of the present dribblers. I CONFERENCE play, the mark is two won and five lost to- day while a year ago it was the same number won, but three more in the loss column. In seventh. place in the Big Ten standings, the '54 hoopsters are two places improved over their predecessors. While the statistical gain of Bill Perigo's cagers of this sea- son is more or less in the form of consolation, the improvement shown by some of the Wolverine reserves in the past few games is tangible evidence of better things to come. John Codwell has been playing the type of ball that made him a starter on last year's outfit. The 6-3 forward started the season very slowly, possibly due to stale- ness that came as a result of too much hoop activity in the summer time. * .* * HOWEVER, in the last few con- tests, Codwell has tossed in 26 MICHIGAN BASKETBALL FG Barron .........3 Jorgenson ........67 Groffsky .........68 Williams .........72 Eaddy ............51 Mead ...........17 Codwell .........19 Allen............ 7 Pavichevich ...... 5 Vawter............ 5 Singer ....... . 2 FT 76, 54 51 25 29 29 28 3 3 1 4 SCORING TP Ave. 262 17.5 188 12.5 187 12.5 169 11.3 131 8.7 63 4.2 66 4.7 17 1.8 13 1.0 11 1.7 8 4.0 points and has rebounded very wel. It was also he who dropped in the foul shot that knotted the score in the Michigan State encounter with seven seconds re- maining. While Codwell had seen prev- ious action with" the varsity, two others who had not done much playing showed up well over the weekend. Jay Vawter, 6-8 inch center and Tom Singer, 5-11 guard are the newcomers who have helped.stir some hope in Michigan's bsaketball future, especialy for the next couple of ytars. The two sophomores have shown great improvement in the daily practice sessions and when Perigo gave them their chance in a game, both showed to advantage. OF THE Maize and Blue start- ers, only Jim Barron has been; playing the kind of basketball they have shown themselves cap-, able of. Despite scoring only 11 points in the Iowa game due to his leaving the game on fouls with 19 minutes remaining, Barron has averaged close to 19 points in Con- ference play and 17.5 for the whole season. The ,6-0 sophomore almost broke Michigan's single game scoring record of 28 when he dropped 271 through the hoop in the Washing- ton tilt. After tallying 20 in the' initial half, he committed his fourth personal early in the sec- ond half and was on the bench1 for a good part of the remainder1 of the contest. Led by Fred Furth, who dumped in six baskets for 12 points, Sigma Alpha Epsilon drubbed Delta Sig- ma Phi, 58-27 in the social fra- ternity 'A' basketball action last night. Furth's ball handling and fine shooting gave great assistance to Guy Foster and Tony Belkofer who garnered 11 points each. Most of the hard-fought game's scoring was done in the last half. SAE led 20-4 at the half and began to rally in the third quarter. Sigma Alpha Epsilon surged ahead to gain a commanding lead and were nevera headed. * * * CHI PHI nipped Lambda Chi Alpha in a close overtime game, 22-20. Pat McEvoy score the only bucket of the overtime period to give Chi Phi the win. Joe Roberts led Chi Phi with nine points. Delta Upsilon edged Zeta Beta Tau, 36-30, in a close tussel. Six- foot, eight inch Nate Pierce dump in 13 for the victors while "Moose" Weiss tallied 11 for the losers. With Bob Mann pumping in 12 points and, Pete Paulus scoring ten, Phi Gamma Delta buried Phi Sigma Kappa, 53-8. In another A' game, Theta Chi downed Alpha Epsilon Pi, 28-25. Arnold Buzzard tallied 10 points for the winners while DaveKroll pumped in 12 for the losers. DELTA TAU DELTA barely edg- ed Zeta Beta Tau as they scored a basket in the dying seconds to win 26-25. Mort Blum was high scorer as he tallied nine points for the losers. In another 'A' game Delta Tau Delta drilbbed Theta Chi, 51-15. Al Price scored 21 points for the winners with teammate Chuck Murphy trailing him with 15 points. Pi Lambda Phi downed Tau Delta Phi 25-15 in a hard fought game. Al Eisenberg scored two bas- kets and six free throws to become high scorer. "Bobo" Kahan led the Pilams with nine.

Michigan - Clinton, Mich. 17 Mat Squad Wins Four of Five In Between Semester Action By AL EISENBE1G Winner in four out of five matches between semesters, the Michigan wrestling team gave de- finite evidence that it will be a strong contender to cop the Big Ten crown for the second suc*I cessive year. The Wolverines easily conquer- ed Northwestern, Hofstra and Syracuse, were upset by a greatly improved Purdue squad, and whipped a. previously undefeated Pittsburgh team. Coach Cliff Keen's team now has a record of six wins and one loss for the season. * * s THE PURDUE Boilermakers not only handed Michigan its first loss of this year's campaign, but snapped an 'M' winning streak which had lasted through 12 suc- cessive dual meets. 12 R The injury riddled Michigan squad had little chance against Purdue-a team which had been defeated by Michigan in 1953 by a 26-5 score and had finished ninth in last year's Big Ten meet. The deciding match of the con- test was fought in the heavyweight' class where Jim Bryant defeated' Michigan's Bob Hurley, 5-1. Hur- ley was a last minute replace- ment for Dick O'Shaughnessy who was out with a leg injury. * * * O'SHAUGHNESSY, who has been conference 177-pound cham- pion for the last two years, was released from the hospital yes- terday. It is doubtful, however, whether he will compete against Iowa this coming Saturday. In the first of the vacation tussles Michigan spoiled North- western's wrestling debut, as it easily disposed of the Wildcats by the score of 25-3. The only points Northwestern picked up was when Jack Herschend, who placed third in the 123 pound division in the Big Ten cham- pionships last year, defeated Frank Hirt, 7-4. The Wolverines picked up two five pointers in the meet. "Pepper" Holt pinned Jerry Remienin 1:48 and O'Shaughnessy won on a for- feit. THE GRAPPLERS then headed east where they had little trouble in disposing of Syracuse and The Flying Dutchmen of Hofstra Col- lege, 24-8, 26-6 respectively. Hofstra, a small clolege in New York, is coached by "Brick" Stone who was a varsity track- man at Michigan for three years. Two days ago the Wolverines defeated a rugged Pittsburgh squad-a team which last year finished ninth in the national col- legiate championships, and the only team which was able to de- feat last year's Michigan outfit. JOHN ROSS ... stars in vacation action 'M' Pucksters Capture Third In Ice League (Continued from Page 1) Michigan wasted no time in- creasing the margin to three goals as Cooney tallied his second goal less than thirty secondseafter the opening of the second period. THE WOLVERINES continued to press the attack during most of the middle session but they were finally dented by the Denver sextet at about the midway point in the period. Eldon Willock, Pioneer forward, blasted the puck behind Wolverine goalie Willard Ikola after a pass-out from Bill Kossian who was behind the net. Doug Mullen quickly matched the goal for the Wolverines and ended the scoring for the ses- sion. At the 14-minute mark of the period Denver Goaile Bill Begg, who played brilliantly during the third stanza, was in- jured and the teams returned to the dressing rooms" for an early intermission. The 26-minute third period seemed to b emore than the de- pleted Wolverine squad could take. Playing with only ten men seeing action, the Michigan team ap- peared to run out of gas -as the period moved on. * * * THE PACE of the first two per- iods in which 13 penalties were called hadits teling effects and before ten minutes had elapsed, Derlver had scored twice. Then fine defensive work succeeded in keeping the Pioneers in check. The victory was worth two points to the Wolverines and moved them up to within a point and a half of league-leading Min- nesota and North Dakota in the Western Hockey League race. Fri- day and Saturday the Wolverines take on Colorado College in two more WHL contests. The games, which will be held here in Ann Arbor, will each be worth two points in the standings.

The Wolverines gave some of the nation's top cinder stars a run for their money in a pair of invitational meets at Boston and Washington, completely out- classed Westen Michigan and Michigan State Normal in a tri- angular affair, and dominated the Michigan AAU Relays held last Saturday at Yost Field House. IN THE Knights of Columbus meet at Boston Gardens a two- mile relay team of Roy Christian- son, Al Lubina, John Ross, and John Moule finished a close sec- ond to Fordham, which fielded one of the best quartets in the country. In the same meet Jack Car- roll placed third in the 600 yard run, won by Fred Schlerth of Columbia. The Wolverine, who finished second to Mal Whit- field in the event last year, managed to beat out the Olym- pic 400 meter champ, George Rhoden, for the second straight time. In the Washington Evening Star Games a week later, the two- mile relay team placed third be- hind Fordham and Georgetown, while junior Grant Scruggs lost by inches to Villanova's. Joe Gaff- ney in the 600 yard run, edging Oklahoma's National AAU champ,' J. W. Washburn, for the runner- up spot., IN THE three-way meet with Western Michigan and Michigan State Normal, Michigan thinclads set five' meet records as they won ten of the twelve events and shared in one other. jump standard set by Jack Rose in 1952, while another sophomore Ron Wallngford, sent a second TBig Ten champ down to defeat when he ran the two mile in 9:37.2 to best teammate , George Lynchl. Lynch, who has been nursing a bad foot, held the old meet record of 9:40.5. Captain Fritz Nilsson improv- ed his own mark of 51' 5" when he hurled the shot 52' 10% ". Senior Roger Maugh and John Hilberry, a sophomore from Fern- dale, shared the final Wolverine record with Normal's Marland Bluhm when the three tied at 13' on the pole vault. * * * OTHER MICHIGAN winners in- cluded Jim Love in both the high and low hurdles, Dave Heinzman in the high jump, Ross in the mile, and Moule in the 880. The only event in which the Wolverines failed to snare at least a portion of the top spot was the 60 yard dash where Western Michigan's John Hud- son nipped John Vallortigara in :06.3 to tie the meet record. A pair of sophomores boosted Michigan's Big Ten title hopes when they came through with big victories in the AAU meet. * * * PETE GRAY won the 1000 yard run, which has been added to the Big Ten program this season, with a record 2:14.5, while fellow Cana- dian Pete Sutton, though not pressed, took the 440 in :51.3. Scruggs continued his fine showings when he lowered his own meet and Field House rec- ord by winning the 600 in 1:12.7. Lynch, Moule, Carroll, and Ross produced Michigan's third meet record when they won the distance* medley relay in 10:11.4, while the Wolverines also took the two mile relay when anchorman Christian- son pulled away from Lyle Garbe of Michigan State on the last turn. ^ * * * VAN BRUNER, competing un- attached since he finished his eli- gibility last year, won the 65 yard high hurdles for the final Wol- verine victory. Miami's Tom Jones, who placed third in last year's NCAA meet, won the shot put at 55' 4%" to hand Nilsson his first defeat in a Midwest meet.

I FROM CAMPUS - TO CAREER IS A BIG STEP When the graduate leaves the ,college campus to begin his career he is taking an extremely important step. For he is leaving the area of directed-development in college and entering the area of self-development in industry. Closing the gap between his campus experiences and the realities of earning a living is not easy. The complicated maze of modern industrial society has made this transition a tough task. While the craftsmen of former years grew up with the business, the college graduate of today steps into a strange organization at a relatively high level. He has had no opportunity to understand, through a long period; the methods and operations of the concern. between college and industry-and to help young pro. fessional people realize their goals. Through extensive training programs, classroom study programs; leadership programs, and guidance in professional development, care- fully selected' young men are prepared for positions of responsibility and leadership in their individual fields. Providing college graduates with the opportunity to know the Company and find the right job in it. ; . giving them high-level, flexible orientation and training ; ; . offering continued opportunity for professional growth are most important tasks at General Electric.
