His Nittany Lion compatriot, Lee Cunningham, added two more first places on the side horse and parallel bars to eject the Wolver- ines from the ranks of the unde- feated dual meet teams. Only One 'M' First Bill Skinner, Michigan's senior tumbling star, turned in what Coach Newt Loken called the "fin- est performance of his career" to take the Wolverines' only first place in tumbling. ' Finishing off with an almost flawless routine, Skinner cinched first place with four back flip sommersaults followed by one front flip. Second to Skinner was Jim Dulaney, called one of the finest Eastern tumblers compet- ing today. In other departments, however, the Nittany Lion combination of: Vega,\ Cunningham and Dave Werner kept Michigan from fin- ishing in the top tcw positions ex- cept in the tunbling and parallel bar events. Not Good Enough "Nino Marion's routine on the sidehorse was very smooth," Loken noted, "but he couldn't match the performance of Cunningham and Lee." Al Stall's work on the high bar rated another Loken commenda- tion when the Michigan junior executed a difficult' double fly- away trick to earn third place in that event. Richard Montpetit, the Cana- dian sophomore, was the only Wolverine artist to come close to Vega when he came in second on the parallel bars. Montpetit added other points in free exercise, side- horse and high bar. In humbling the Wolverines, Penn State made it two dual meet wins over Michigan, winning at home last year. In the 1958 per- formance, howeve,r the man who won for the Nittany Lions was Werner, taking the final tumbling event. STANDOUT SENIORS -- John Hutton (left) and Barrie Hayton, two of only three Michigan seniors on the hockey team, stood out on offense and defense respectively. Hutton led the team in scorning with 37 points, and Hayton was one of the iron-man sparkplugs of the Wolverine defense. Hoc key Team To Lose Only Three Graduates' 4 '. By FRED KATZ Special to The Daily EVANSTON - Only those pres- ent in Louisville's dressing room at halftime know what kind of ora- tion Coach Bernard "Peck" Hick- man delivered. But the capacity crowd of 9,200 present here at Northwestern's McGaw Hall each of two nights this weekend knows Hickman gets results. Last night Louisville won the mideastern regional NCAA title by storming onto the court after the intermission to thoroughly annihilate Michigan State, 88-81. Go Home for Finals Ironically enough, the Cardinals, by virtue of their win, earned the right to play on their own court. They gained one of four berths in the finals to be held at Louis- ville March 20-21. In last night's consolation game, Kentucky smothered Marquette, 98-69. Louisville's two stunning upset victories (76-61 over Kentucky Friday evening and last night's victory) undoubtedly gained for it- self the claim to one of the most ,remarkable Cinderella teams in mnodern cage history. The Cardinals came into the tourney with a highly unimpres- sive 16-10 record, when compared to, Kentucky (23-2), Michigan State (18-3) and Marquette (22-4). Beat Ranked Teams Yet Louisville proved once again thaturecords mean nothing in tournament play as it knocked off the nation's second- and seventh-ranked teams on succes- sive evenings. In addition, Kentucky was the defending champ. But the Car- dinals gave every indication that they intend to keep the huge NCAA championship trophy in the' Blue Grass state another year. Coming from behind has become old hat to Louisville and they ap- peared to enjoy it. The great por- tion of their losses occurred during the early part of the season, for it takes time to jell a sophomore- laden unit into championship cali- ber. Lose Early Lead And just as they have gained momentum during the season, so did they do the same thing against MSU last night. Louisville got the jump in a hurry, connecting on its first three shots from the field, to take a 7-1 lead with just 1% minutes gone in the game. However, they cooled off quickly for the rest of the half. With State's Bob Anderegg mov- ing all over the court and jumping Johnny Green bettering his 'op- ponents on the boards, the Spar- tans forged into a 13-12 lead and maintained it throughout the first half. At one time they led by as much as seven points, but Louisville cut it to 43-40 at halftime. 12 Straight Points Then the Cardinals, sparked by the magnificent shooting of 6'5" sophomore forward John Turner and yearling reserve Buddy Leath- ers, poured in 12 consecutive points at the start of the second half. State, Big Ten champions, now trailing 52-43, were goners. The Spartans threatened mildly after shaking . their disastrous slump, and crept within five, 60- 55. But Louisville's uncanny bril- liance was not to be denied. They fast-breaked weary MSU to death and appeared to get stronger as the game got older. Enlarge Lead to 16 The Cardinals increased their mhargin to the largest of the eve- ning, 86-70, with 2:52 remaining. By that time, it was too late for MSU's full-court press to do much good, even though the Spartans scored 11 of the last 13 points in the game. Green and Anderegg closed out their college careers with typically great performances. Green led all scorers with 29 points and all re- bounders with 23, even though State was outrebounded as a team, 52-50. Anderegg pumped in 22 points. Wildcats Rampage Still smarting from last night's bitter defeat, the Wildcats, went on a first-half rampage against Marquette in the preliminary game, that included two bursts of 14 consecutive points each. They stretched a 5-1 lead to 19-1 before the Warriors could get their fik'st field goal with 14:55 left in the half. And after the Milwaukeeteam battled themn even for a short period, the Wildcats lengthened a 27-13 margin to 41-13. KU built its halftime lead to 54-24 and easily coasted the rest of the way, although Marquette battled the Cats on equal terms for the final 20 minutes. f, BILL SKINNER ..._Michigan's only first I" :I SALE!

Our Collegiate styles are suave - smart - individualistic 0 10 HAIRCUTTERS 0 NO WAITING THE DASCOLA BARBERS' near Michigan Theatre By MIKE GILLMAN Ice shavings from the Michigan Coliseum : Fortunately for Wolverine hockey coach Al Renfrew, his loss- es through graduation will be the smallest in recent seasons. Plagued with a lack of depth throughout the just-completed sea- son, Michigan was able to manage only eight wins in 25 contests. However, the bright side of this picture is that the squad has only three departing seniors. Good Freshmen While these'three, John Hutton, Barrie Hayton and Don Gourley, will leave a major hole for Renfrew to fill, the coach believes that a healthy freshman crop will be able to fill the gap. Hutton came into his own in his last year of play and was chosen by his teammates as the team's Most Valuable Player. The senior forward from Swift Current, Sask. led the Wolverine scoring attack this season with 10 goals and 27 assists for 37 points. The highlight of the season for Hutton was at East Lansing in the next-to-last game. With the Wol- verines trailing MSU in the last five minutes of play, Hutton tallied twice to spark a crowd-stunning upset. Hayton Steady Perhaps Michigan's steadiest performer at defense in the past campaign was Barrie Hayton. Hay- ton was known in Western hockey circles as "bad boy" for his fierce, competitive play. He spent the equivalent of more than four periods of play (86 min- utes) in penalty boxes throughout the Midwest. This was almost double the time spent by his near- est competitor in that department, Hutton, who sat out 44 minutes. Although better known for the rough *side of his play, Hayton functioned well as a playmaker for the, Wolverines and gained in a second-place scoring tie with Bob White (30 points apiece) on the strength of 24 assists. Iron Man on Defense The sturdy defensemarl was' called on for a number of "iron- man" stints this year since Ren- MacDonald Mattson White Hayton Hutton Cushing Watt Bochen Childs Gourley Wilson Mateka Nielsen Horner Saves: Ch frew frequently was forced to play with three and even two backmen through entire games. The last departee was big Don Gourley. The senior, wing did not match his classmates in the scor- ing department, but put out the steady brand of play that marked his entire three years as a varsity performer.

ROBERTSON GETS 24: Cincy, West Virginia Make NCAA Semis hilds, IN REMARKABLY SHORT TIME: Broad-Jumper Bird Achieves Success 6:00 P.M.-HILLEL SUPPER CLUB 7:00 P.M. -THEATER CLUB presents By BILL ZOLLA Les Bird has been jumping for a long time, but he has never jumped as far or as well as he is doing right now. Bird is the broad-jumping sen- sation who recently aided Michi- gan's victorious cause in the Big Ten track meet at Madison, Wisc., by leaping to a first place and a Michigan record in the event. The 6'5" Wolverine sophomore, another of the great second-year men to populate the Michigan sports scene, flew 24'10%" and has his sights seat even farther ahead. Said Bird, "I expect to reach 25'10" this season once we move outdoors. After that, maybe the 26-foot mark." Begins Career at 11 Bird was born in St. Johns, An- tigua, one of the British West Indies, and began competition early in life. Due to the English system which stresses active par- ticipation as soon as possible, he started in track at the age of 11. In high school, Bird was the most "SHE MUST MARRY A DOCTOR" ar of iri t~o I by Sholom Aleichem Hillel Foundation. .1429 Hill St. versatile man on the squad, broad jumping, high jumping, and run- ning in as many races as he was physically able. In June 1957, while competing ins the West Indies Games, Bird met Michigan track coach Don Can- ham. It was also at this time that he was soundly beaten in the broad jump by Paul Foreman of Jamaica, now on the Illinois team. The youth from Antigua achieved his revenge this season by whipping Foreman twice, in the dual meet with the Illini and in the Conference championships. Reaches Top Fast Bird became eligible for varsity competition this February and his climb to success has been nothing short of remarkable. He has lost only once since becoming a sopho- more, that being in the Michigan State Relays. This loss was a tainted one, though, as Bird was disqualified on fouls; no one bettered his distance. Bird said, "since that time, I have straightened out my form. I no longer have to worry while I'm in the process of jumping if I am going to foul or not. I think it was mainly psychological." The result of this "straightening out" has been a string of victor- ies without a loss. Olympics in His Future Bird's main goal is to represent his island in the 1960 Olympics. He will have to do especially well, he said, because Antigua is so small that it is sometimes over- looked in the selections. Bird added, "The British West Indies will now compete as a body instead of each island individually. I couldn't compete in the British Empire Games because Antigua could not afford to send a team. I don't want to miss my chance this time." The -Olympics are a year and one-half away, though. Nearer to the present, Bird said, that he is, looking forward to the Nationals to be held at Lincoln, Nebr. in June. He said that he also may jump in the Pan-American Games in Chicago this summer. Bird claimed that his greatest thrill in track has been his victory in the Big Ten finals, but the high- light of his life occurred in an- other sport. He related ,"My great-. est moment was when I was chosen to represent Antigua in the cricket match with Pakistan. At one time I loved cricket more than track, but since competing for Michigan, track has become my favorite."
