The University of Michigan
hockey team, bolstered by a
number of outstanding fresh
men, will open its regular 26-
game schedule here Saturday
night against the experienced
but youthful Windsor, Ont,

Only one letterman from last
season is a possible starter for
the Wolverines, He is Dick Mix

Birmingham, Mich, who was
regular goal tender last season.
Holding the edge on Mixer at
the moment however, is Jack

siderable ability in the nets.

practice games under their

Long And Short
Of Animal Life

The age limits of animals,
birds, fishes and insects have al
ways provided an interesting
subject for students of natural
history. The may-fly is said to
have the shorest span of life,
This common Ephemera vulgata
emerges from the water in thou
sands for a wedding dance of an
afternoon, lay their eggs, and
die.
But these performances, occur
only in the final phase of COM
paratively long life-history. The
may-fly matches as small wing
less larva with six legs and three
tails and dwells in the stream
from one to three years before
emerging in his final adult form.
Animals which are really long
lived are comparatively few.
Here are some of the figures es-
timated by competent authori-
tics.

Boxing PIans
Going Ahead

Plans for the Local IL anna
teur and professional boxing
shows to be staged in the Civic
Auditorium are moving along
rapidly. The gymnasium will be
completed very soon and the
arrival of the new equipment is
expected in the very near fu-
ture.
Showers and lockers are being
installed and the equipment is
being placed as soon as it ar
rives. The gymnasium will be
located on the fifth floor at Lo-
cal IL headquarters where the
rooms will be warm and dry in
the winter months and will be
air conditioned during the hot
days and nights.
The boxing shows will be
held each Tuesday night begin
ing on January 8, 1946. The
boxing club will be comprised of
fighters who are members of
Local IL and others who show
promise of becoming good mitt-
men. The weekly shows will be
for amateur boxers and several
professional attractions will be
carded throughout the year.
Boxers, or managers of oox-
erS, are asked to get in touch
with Birdie Rule, at Local IL
headquarters, so that they may
be listed as to age, weight, and
RXnerience

Choosing A Gun

In the selection of a shotgun
for duck, goose and upland
shooting it is we'll to remember
that when in the field no one
desires to tote more weight than
is absolutely necessary. A L.
gauge gun, weighing from 7 to
71a pounds, fitted with single
trigger, automatic ejector, bea-
yer tail or standard fore-end as
preferred, and with barrels of 26
or % inches in length bored inn
proved cylinder and modified,
would make an ideal gun for
anyone.

Licenses Required
Of Youths

Contrary TO a current belief
on the part of few hunters, all
persons, regardless of age, are
required to have an Ohio hunt
ing and trapping license except
the owner, manager, tenant, or
children Of the owner of lands
within the state. These are
exempt from buying a hunting
and trapping license only when
hunting on their own lands.
Those in active military service
are the only others not required
to purchase license.

Ducks Plentiful

MONROE, Dec. 7 - Wild
ducks, evidently gathering for
their last long flight southwark,
are rafting in great numbers in
Lake Erie.
Colder weather of recent days
has forced them to leave inland
lakes and marshes.
Observers at the Pointe Mou-
illee state game area also report
that whistling swans, once al
most extinct, apparently conti-
nue. to increase in numbers.
Flocks of a hundred or more of
the great white birds have been
seen in flight to the south.

No team on the Army's
schedule had even a slight
chance of winning a game
this year. There are no two ways
about it, Army was just too
powerful for their opponents. In
some ways, team which Is far
too strong for ordinary compe-
tition, could spoil the enthusiasm
of the pigskin pastime. Some
coaches would not care to send
their players against the more
experienced and bruising oppo-
sition.
It is to be said that, will all
due respect to the fine 1945
Army team, it is not necessarily
the best college team of all time.
Ohio State, in 1912, had team
which might we'll compare with
Army. Notre Dame, too, with
their deceptive -Four Horse
men" might have outridden this
years Army eleven. Minnesota
and Pittsburgh had crushing,
bruising teams which the Army
would not have Just pushed
aside. The Great Lakes back
field of two years ago, with its
professional players, would have
been able to outscore the West
Point Cadets,
Then there is the question of
Army beating professional teams.
OF course, some of the Army
players could easily fit into the
lineups of the pro teams, but the
thought of the Detroit Lions,
Cleveland Rams, or Chicago
Bears losing to Army Col
legians is far out of the ques-
ton.
1t is the opinion of nine ou
often followers of football thai
any team in the National Pros
fessional Football League could
play at least a tie with the Army
players and possibly defeat them
in every game.
However, that opinion cannot
be proved and must remain a
matter of conjecture.

able these athletes to continue the protes-
sion of their choice without the proposed in
terruption caused by universal peacetime
conscription.
About one million young men between
the ages of 18 and 19 would be affected by
this proposed law and boxers in particular
would be hit hardest if they had to postpone
