HURONS To FACE
BEARCAT QUINTET

Frank Worzniak. former Michi-
gan Normal basketball and base.
ball star. will make his coaching
debut Thursday.
WorEniak. who-temporarily -
has succeeded Elton J. Rynearson
as Huron cage mentor. will lead his
squad into Mt. Pleasant for
game with Central State Teachers.
The contest is regarded as
warm-up for Normal's big battle
with University OF Michigan Sat
urday evening at Yost Field House.
One important change will be
made in the Huron starting lineup.
Eddie Kontrymowicz. former All
City eager from Hamtramck High
School, will team up with Capt.
Burman Misenar at forward.
Kontrymowicz has previously alter
mated with Doug Cullin and Chuck
Oxley at that position.
John Grant, tallest man on the
Huron team, will again start at
center Fritz BENEFITS and Johnny
Shsda will probably be Worzniak's
choices at the two guard posts.
The scalp wound which Shada sus-
tanned against Wayne last week
does not hinder his play.
Central State is about as strong
as last year, when the Bearcats
and the Hurons split in their an
nual two-game series. Hub of Cen
trails offense Is the veteran Leo
Wisneski, tall Grand Rapids sell
Tor.
| Normal supporters, looking for
ward to the Michigan clash. are
not particularly interested in the
final result OF this tilt with Coach
Danny Roses charges. The chief
significance OF the game will be
as final test for the Hurons be-
fore they tackle Benny Ooster-
baan's Wolverines.
The game will be played in the
afternoon since a Christmas music
al program has been scheduled for
the evening at Mt. Pleasant.
Worzniak played basketball here
in 1882. Since then he has been
prominent in Detroit sandlot bas-
ketball and baseball circles. He
is currently playing Federation
ball with the strong Harry Suffrin
outfit. Rynearson Monday asked
Worzniak to assume the coaching
re.ns this week and next. an ar
rangement that may be continued

Holding their opponents score
less throughout the entire first
half, the Reserves piled up a 10
to 0 lead and led 10 to 5 at the
end of the third period. In the
fourth period, however, Ann Arbor
finally came to life as they rang
up FIVE field goals in quick success
sion, while Smith and Schaab were
ta,lying a free shot and field goal
respectively for the local team.
Don Hubbard then cinched the
game as he dropped pretty pivot
