Minnesota To Play Michigan Saturday Night Chicago, Jan. 7— (UP) —Minnesota’s basketball team will stake an undefeated record and its hope to win the big nine title against Michigan's defending league champions in a classic game at Minneapolis tomorrow night. The combat will feature two all conference guards from Michigan. Pete Elliott and Bob Harrison against the Gophers' all-confer-ence center, Jim Mclntyre. Whether the Wolverine defensive stars can do as we 1 against the Gopher scoring ace as they have done in the past two seasons is questionable. Mclntyre, who has finished second in league scoring for two straight years, has played against the Wolverine duo three times. In his first effort Michigan put a zone defense on the floor and Mclntyre tallied only one point. Last year he netted 16 points in the first game between the schools, won by Michigan. 43 to 41, and later he dropped to eight points in the second game, also a Wolverine victory by a 56 to 45 margin. Under Michigan's former coach Ozzie Cowles, Mclntyre's allaround play has improved, and in tomorrow’s game, even though the giant center might be closely guarded, other Minnesota stars could break out with enough points to produce a Gopher win. A Sophomore sensation, Meyer "Whitey" Skoog, may be the surprise of the conference to help the Gopher campaign and veteran Bud Grant could have a hot night and break the scoring columns wide open. Harrison and Elliott likewise will not have to furnish the Mich igan attack. Center Bill Roberts at, 6 feet 7 inches, only two inches shorter than Mclntyre, and sharpshooting forward Mack Suprunowlcz could pull Michigan to a win In its first conference start should the Wolverine defense hold Minnesota. The two teams were ranked as one-two choices for the league title by conference coaches in a pre-campaign vote, and six tutors favored the Wolverines to win. Going into the scrap, the headliner on a four game conference slate, there was little to choose between the teams, and the winner will be the “team to beat” for Willys Cars & Trucks ALSO USED CARS See “Doc” Vizard DOC'S CAR DOCK
