I 25f 1959i~ TAE MICHIGAN DAILY ,, ,,,,. 1959....bM__IGAN DAIL our Returning Juniors orm Wolverine Infield By TOM WITECKI ". .a Phi Delta Fraternity Theta Wins " I Four juniors, each with a year of varsity competition under their belt, will probably man the infield positions for the Michigan base- ball team when it opens its spring season this Saturday against Duke University. Three of the infielders, Bill Ro- man, Dave Brown and Bob Kuch- er, held down regular positions last year while only sophomores, and Gene Struczewski filled in enough in an utility role to earn his letter. At first base will be Roman, a tall, lanky power - hitter, who posted a .311 average in Big Ten competition last season and a .327 mark overall. Retired Coach Ray Fisher, who headed the squad last spring before retiring, -described the left-handed slugger as having PLAYOFFS: Canadians, BruinS 11 By The Associated Press MONTREAL - The powerful Montreal Canadiens started in quest of an unprecedented fourth1 straight Stanley Cup Champion- -ship- by downing the Chicago Black Hawks, .4-2, last night in the first game of their semi-final series. BOSTON -- Boston drew in- spiration from the youthful acro- batics of round-faced 32-year-old goalie Harry Lumley to defeat Toronto 5-1 with a three-goal middle period outburst last night in the opener of their Stanley Cup hockey playoff series. The Bruins took a 1-0 lead in the best of seven semi-final com- petition while a capacity Boston Garden gathering of 13,909 howled with delight. * * * ST. LOUIS -- Bob Pettit hit 39 points last night in his first big scoring game of the Western Di- vision Playoffs and paced the St. Louis Hawks to an easy 127-97 victory over the Minneapolis Lakers, giving the Hawks a 2-1 lead in the best of seven series. a great deal of natural talent and added that he might develop into one of the Wolverine's all time stars. Second Best At the hot corner is another power hitter, Dave Brown, whose .314 average against Conference pitching was second only to catch- er Jim Dickey among the Wol- verine regulars. His overall season mark of .376 was the highest on the squad. Brown, who has doubled as a reserve quarterback on the foot-' ball team during the fall months, had some trouble with his fielding early last spring, but improved steadily as the season progressed. At the keystone sack will be Bob Kucher whose .978 fielding average was tops in the Big Ten for second basemen. Kucher had a .274 sea- son average last year, but ran into a late season slump that dropped his Big Ten ;mark to .189. New Shortstop Struezewski, who saw most of his, action last year pinch-hitting and filling in for an injured Brown at third, will take over the short- stop position vacated by last year's Captain Ernie Myers, who has since graduated.} Giving Michigan Coach Don Lund some depth at the infield slots will be newcomers George 1 Fead at third, Terry Ziegler at second and Barry Marshall who plays just about anywhere in the infield as well as in the outfield.

Twice an All-Pro selection, Zat- koff said he was calling it quits ,because of increasing business pressure and trouble he has had with a knee injury.

Basketball star Terry Mil- ler tied for first in the high jump and ran second in the fast 60-yd. dash as he scored eight and one- half of the Phi Delt points. John Haley got seven with his second in the 440, and third in the 60.

Try our collegiate styles-they are: a SUAVE * SMART e SMOOTH 10 Haircutters The Dascola Barbers near the Michigan Theatre Daily Classifieds Bring Quick Resuts By BILL ZOLLA With the professional basket- ball playoffs well under way, a fa- miliar pattern is beginning to take shape - Boston's Celtics in the Eastern Division, and St. Louis' Hawks in the West are again moving towards their sec- tional titles. These teams have met the past two years in the., championship series between the winners of the division playoffs, .and they are heavy favorites to be the contend- ers again this year. St. Louis is the defending champ, but, Boston took the crown in 1957. f Over 580 Summer Courses... 6 Under National Basketball As- sociaiton rules, the first three fin- ishers in each division qualify for the playoffs. The second and third place teams battle in a best-of- three series for the right to meet the first place club. Then follow duels between the winners of the first series and the section leaders. They meet in a best-of-seven series. Best of Seven These best-of-seven matches are taking place now. Boston is battling the Syracuse Nationals, who qualified by knocking off the New York Knicks in two straight tilts. St. Louis faces the Minne- apolis Lakers who won over the Detroit Pistons in three games. Boston now leads Syracuse two games to one while the World Champion Hawks are deadlocked at one game apiece with Minne- apolis. If the results of the playoffs run true to regular season form, 'the Celtics and Hawks will again tangle in basketball's World Series to determine who shall reign as king. Boston rolled to first place in this year's regular schedule with ridiculous ease, smashing the record for number of wins in a season. The Celtics also had many individuals who broke records. Numerous experts have comment- ed that this squad is the finest basketball team that has ever been assembled. Cousy Leads The Bean Town aggregation is led by veteran playmaker-captain Bob Cousy, known as Mr. Basket- SCHOOL OF COMMERCE, ACCOUNTS AND FINANCE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION " COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING " DIVISION OF GENERAL EDUCATION A SCHOOL OF RETAILING 0 ball and one of the true greats in cage history. But Cousy is hardly alone; in fact the Boston team is one of the most superbly balanced squads of all time. At the other guard is veteran Bill - Sharman, who along with maintaining a near-20 point scor- ing average, broke his own free throw percentage record this year and has a deadly one-hand jump shot. The center is fabulous Bill Russell, another record-breaker, who patrols the middle area of the court with his 6'11" frame and seven-foot reach controlling the boards as if the ball was des- tined to fall into his huge hands. He broke his own record this sea- son in the rebounding depart-, ment and scores in double figures' consistently. Forwards Strong Boston is also very strong at the forwards. Starters Tommy Heinsohn and Frank Ramsey are two of the finest in the league. Heinsohn averages in the 20's and Ramsey is a steady player. The bench is well stocked with men who would play regularly on any team other than this squad of super-stars, men such as Jim Los- cutoff, K. C. Jones, Sam Jones, and Gene Conley. If any team is to beat Boston, it will have to be the St. Louis group. The Hawks, paralleling Boston's success story, also sped to the top of their division and completely dominated it through- out the season. The Hawks are led by the most potent scorer in the NBA's his- tory, Bob Pettit, who was recent- ly voted Most Valuable Player in the league, Pettit broke five scor- ing records this season, including most points in a season and high- est scoring average per game. are offered to undergraduates in good standing. Morning, afternoon and evening classes. Dates vary for early summer, mid-sumier and post sessions in the various divisions. Right alongside Pettit is the second half of the most prolific scoring duo in pro cage annals, Cliff Hagan. Hagan has averaged over 24 points per game, and with Pettit's 29.2, the two scored nearly half of St. Louis' points during the regular season. Hagan has also proved himself to be a clutch player under playoff conditions, outshining even Pettit .in last year's victory over the Celtics. But the Hawks' playmaker guard Slater Martin, a very valu- able element to the team's suc- cess, is injured as a result of .a collision with the Lakers' Ed Fleming. It is believed that Mar- tin will be out for the rest of the year due to the leg injury and the loss will be keenly felt. This was evidenced in the Hawks' defeat at the hands of Minneapolis last Sunday. With Martin out of action, the Celtics look as if they will recap- ture the title they lost last year.
