High-Scoring lllini
Mttt U. of D. Tonight
in Fernddle School
The sophomore - laden Illinois
team will give the University cf
Detroit basketball teem Its first
teste of major competition when
they clash at 8:15 tonight at the
Lincoln High School In Femdale.
Tuo-potnt victor* over Mar
quette and Butler and two-point
loser* to the Chanute Field five,
composed of ex-oollegiate star*,
the mini ha\e been particularly
impressive as a scoring team
They ran up 45 points against the
Hilltoppers, 52 points against But
ler and 38 against the soldiers.
That’s an average of 45 points
a game and is reflective of the
height of the team. The starting
lineup averages 6 feet 3 inches,
considerably handicapping the U.
of D. five which averages just
under six feet for the first time in
a decade.
EASY TRIUMPH
Coach Lloyd Brazil's team,
which coasted through victories
over Hillsdale and St. Mary’s of!
Orchard Lake, ranges in size from
Sal Rio, 5-foot T’s-inch guard
to Bob Brice. 6-foot 2 , *-inch for
ward, who l&n l slated to start.
Capt. Charlie O'Brien (6-foot 1)
and Art Stolkey (6-foot) will start
at the forward posts with Vince
Bums (6-foot) replacing Joe
Mader at center. Marier injured
an ankle in practice last week but
may play Joe Jarrett (5-foot 10)
will start at the other guard
post.
Arrayed against them will he
Capt. Bill Hocking (6-foot 1) and
sophomore Ken Menke (6-foot 2)
at the forwards. Art Mathisen
(6-foot 5) at center and Vic Wuko
vits (6-foot 3) and sophomore
Andy Phillips (6-foot 3) at the
guards.
It’s the first appearance in De
troit of the lllini. u'ho won a 39-28
victory over the Titans back in
1935 at Champaign in their only
previous meeting. U. of D., which
has dropped three straight to
Purdue, has yet to score a victory
over a Big Ten team.

punches. Neither took a backward
• *ep during the entire fight.
Cedric hit a little harder and
oftener and earned the unanimous
decision of the judges and referees.
Sammy fought back every inch of
the way and won the decision of
the 9,000 present.
Cedric scored repeatedly with
sharp lefts to the head and early
in the fight had the boy front
Cleveland in difficulty. Sammy
rallied and improved with the
fight. In the last round ho was
holding his own and maybe a little
more, but the margin of the first
two rounds was enough to w in for
the Detroiter. It wm a grand fight
by two well-trained, strong, game
fighters.
CANTY IMPRESSIVE
James Canty. Brewster’s great
fighter who has grown into a light
heavyweight. was impressive in hi«
knockout victory over Tom Clifton
of Pontiac. Clifton stood the pun
ishment handed out by his superior
foe for most of three rounds hut
finally decided enough was enough

Canty is ready for the long winter
campaign and should finish near
jthe top among the nation’s ama
teurs.
Richard Pringle of River Rouge
disposed of a tough foe in Ralph
Manning of Chicago They are
middleweight* Pringle was j>i«ft
too tough for the more experi
enced hattler from Chicago and
won all three rounds.
Another thriller was a middle
weight hat*le between Muddy
Kurtz of Pittsburgh and Butch
O'Hara of Dearborn Boys Club It
was a bout with no quarter a«knd
or given If was close enough to
divide the house right down the
middle but it was swell entertain
ment. Action is still a good sub
stitute for science in amateur
boxing
Detroit boxer« won 12 of the 17
bouts. Buffalo was runner-up with
two.

Angott, who lost an over-the

Toledo '6' Wins
To Tie Mansfield
In M-0 League
•
Underdogs Defeat
Windtor in Overtime
With 9 Seconds Left
Detroit’s Mansfields today are In
imminent danger of losing their
hold on the third rung of the
Michigan-Ontario Hockey League
ladder.
They lost part of It last night
when the Toledo Babcocks came
from behind to take a 5-4 over
time decision from the champion
Windsor Spitfires across the river
before a slim pre-Christmas crowd
of 1,900. The victory put the
Babcocks even with the Mansfields
on points, with the equivalent of
three two-point games yet to play.
Toledo’s marksmen showed a
high percentage of efficiency in
achieving last night’s victory, one
of the few upsets of the current
M-O season. During the last half
hour they had only five shots on
the Windsor goal, but three of
them found their mark.
Two of the three were 25-foot
low angle shots by Don Olsen,
sturdy little blond right-winger.
They vvere the ones that tied and
won the game after Windsor twice
had tw’o-goal advantages. Second
and most important of Olsen’s
shots rame just nine seconds be
fore the end of overtime.
TWO NEW TOLEDOANS
Toledo, stall building, showed up
with additional reinforcements in
the persons of two former Wind
sor players, center Bert Tooke.

Stover. Click.v Fau r 1 a and
Jimmy Baudino, ex-Detroit M-O

Bobby Forster.
Chief in Forster’s side was
Herbie Jones, who scored three of
the Windsor goals.

It’s Matter of Inehes
Eagles Are Shy Them and They're 'Just a Good
Team' Instead of a Brilliant One
That old argument about]
whether a good little man is better
than a big man in basketball en
ters into the picture when con-]
sidering the Detroit Eagles' record
on their long road trip.
With the Eagles it has meant
the difference between a brilliant,
championship team and just a
"good” team. The present squad
is hampered by lack of height—
compared to other top pro teams.
Last year’s ‘ miracle” team that
finished third in the National
League, but went on to whip Osh
kosh. the league winner, and all
of the country's other strong teams
in the Chicago tourney, was built
around the 6-foot-6-inch Ed Sa
dow-ski. Ed. as you know, now is
in the army.
ONLY SIX-FOOT-ONE
The good “little” man this sea
son is Jack Ahearn. Jack, the
former St. John’s U. player, is very
familiar with coach Dutch Deh
nert’s pivot system and is an ex
cellent shot, but stands only
six-foot-one. The 5-inch difference
means a lot.
The Eagles consist of Ed Parry,
Harry Jeannette and Ahearn. all
of whom fans will remember from
last year; Paul \V*!dowitz and Lou
Kasperik, stars from Duquesne,
and Press Maravich. former Davis-
Elkins College high-scorer. Deh
nert signed the Aliquippa, Pa., boy
on the Eagles’ recent eastern tour.
All are about 6 feet in height.
That six-man squad has piled up
a winning record, but except for
four consecutive victories over the
clever Haripm Globe Trotters,
they have not beaten a strong pro
team.
The loss to Indianapolis Tues
day was no reflection on their
ability. The Kautskys have the
great Jewell Young, Bob Dietz.
Johnny Townsend, no less. They're
a power in the National League
this year.
Dehnert has been trying to
obtain the sendees of George Glo
mack, Akron Goodyear’s 6-foot-5-
inch star, but has been unsuccess
ful to date.

times in contrast to the six timei
Notre Dame jumped ahead. The
score was tied five times in that
period.
Bill Cartmill, the Michigan cap
tain, in the first half scored four
of the six goals that made him on®
[of the leaning scorers to pace the
[Wolverine attnok. Only the
phenomenal shot-making of Charlie
Butler, junior forward, who
equaled Cartmill’s performance,
kept the Irish in the game. It
was his goal that gave them their
lead as the half ended.
TIED t’P ONCE
Leo Doyle tied it up with hit
frep throw as soon as the second
half ended, but Art Quinn then
dropped in a goal that gave Notr®
Dame a lead it didn’t relinquish
for the final 19 minutes of play*
Rutler dropped in three consecu*
live three throws after that, and
the game was on ice as the Irish
flashed the speedy passing attack
that has typified their style of!
play in the pest.
Butler's chief contribution dur*
ing the second half, in fact, was
four of the six points he made at
the fnul line while missing only
■one. and it boosted his total to 14
points. That mark was equaled
by Jim Mandler, Michigan’s great
est scoring threat, who amassed
(his total on five field goals but
I connected on only four of 10 free
throws.
; The Wolverine rally, coming
;with 5 minutes irft to play and
the Irish leading by a 43-.i4 count,
netted «ix points as Dovle scored
twice and Mandler once with a.
( minute and a half. It was turn
about as Michigan took the ag
