PTTTSBURGH (41-The power-
ful National Collegiate Athletic
Association Council handed out
one-year penalties to three insti-
tutions yesterday for violations of
rules in connection with recruit-
ing and paying athletes.,
The University of North Caro-
lina and Loyola University of New
Orleans. were put on probation for
one year and their basketball
teams were barred from competing
in the National Collegiate cham-
pionships or any of the other'
tournaments that co-operate with
the NCAA enforcement program.
The University of Arizona was
placed on probation but no ad-
ditional sanctions were imposed-
a lighter penalty given in recogni-
tion of the co-operation of the
Arizona administration in the in-
vestigation and its elimination of
certain illegal practices even be-
fore they were reported to the
NCAA.
North Carolina also received a
strong verbal slap for slipshod ac-
counting methods that made it
impossible to determine whether
more serious rules violations had
taken place.
These three penalties, coming
just after Oklahoma, Southern
California and Tulsa had been
removed from probation, brought
to 58 the number of cases in which
the NCAA has imposed penalties
since its enforcement program be-
gan in 1952.
North Carolina was found guil-
ty of providing excessive enter-
tainment for prospective basket-
ball players and for members of
the basketball team. In particu-
lar, the council ruled that Coach
Frank McGuire and a semi-offi-
cial talent scout in New York,
Harry Gotkin, has picked up en-
tertainment bills that appeared
too big and had failed to account
in detail for expenditures.

MSU Power Surprises Stager
.

"They were much stronger than
we expected - much stronger,"
said swimming Coach Gus Stager,
explaining his team's loss to pow-
erful Indiana and rising MSU in
the Big Ten Relays last Saturday.
Stager had praise for Frank Le-
gacki, captain and NCAA sprint
freestyle defending champion, who
swam butterfly twice and freestyle
only once in the meet and posted
better times in the butterfly events
than national and Olympic cham-
pion Mike Troy.
Stager was also pleased by
Fred Wolf's performances in the
backstroke and individual med-
ley and Ron Clark's fine showing
in the breaststroke, even though

Productive Combination for 'M' Icers
in the 200-yard breaststroke is
still not in his top shape.
Easily Remedied
"Our defeat by Michigan State
(by two points, 59-57) could have
been easily remedied by reshuf-
fling our swimmers," said Stager,
"but our main purpose, gaining
experience by competition, was
accomplished."
Needless to say, the third place
was also heavily influenced by the
absence of Olympians Dave Gil-
landers, Alex Gaxiola, and Bill
Darnton, and ineligible Dick Nel-
son and Brook Plummer.
The affect these men would
have had upon the score can be
seen from the fact that Michigan
lost five second places by two
seconds or less, two of them by
six-tenths and three-tenths of a
second. In most cases, the addi-
tion of one of these men would
have probably resulted in second
rather than third place finishes.
Possesses Depth
Michigan still possesses the
depth which brought it the Big
Ten championship last year. In
that meet the team didn't win by
first places but by seconds,
third, anti fourths. Unfortunately,
the Relays allowed only one team
for each school in each race.

Michigan hockey fans have late-
ly come to know that they can ex-
pect plenty of action when they
see a tall redhead and his two
shorter line mates climb over the
boards.
This line of Red Berenson, Al
Hinnegan, and Larry Babcock
specializes in putting plenty of
pressure on the opposition and
more important - scoring goals.
With Berenson bothering the
defense with his poke- checking
behind the enemy nets, and Bab-
cock and Hinnegan battling in
the corners and along the boards,
the line has provided many an-
xious moments for unwary goal-
tenders.
Consistant Pressure
The partisan fans at the Coli-
seum of course have applauded
their 'satisfaction many timesr
when the line has been able to
keep consistent pressure on the
opposition. Often the line has kept
the other team bottled up in its
own end for as much as two
minutes at a time,
right with him. At the Tech blue
line Berenson was met by two
unfriendly defensemen, not to
mention the forward still hang-
ing on, was forced to cross to the
other side. In the mean time Bab-
cock, who came up the right wing
crossed over behind Berenson.
' Crossover Play
When both defensemen crossed
over with Berenson, he flipped the
puck over to Babcock, who skated
in alone to fire a backhander at
the net. When the Tech goalie
stopped the first shot, Hinnegan
followed up and knocked the re-
bound in to tie the score.
"I usually work the play with
Al, but when the defensemen fol-
lowed Red, I crossed behind him,"
Babcock commented.
"It takes quite a while to get
used to new line mates," said
Berenson. "You have to get used
to each other and know where
they are going to be," he added.
For Babcock and Hinnegan,
this is not the first time they have
played together. In Canadian
junior hockey they played to-
gether until Hinnegan came to
Michigan tWo years ago.
Line Leader
Berenson is the line leader, but
the opposition has learned to re-
spect Hinnegan and Babcock's
ability. Berenson has 12 of the
line's goals, while Babcock and
Hinnegan have nine and seven
respectively.
Beside its usual turn on the
ice, the line also comprises the
core of a very productive power
play. Berenson and Babcock have
also spelled turns as penalty kill-
ers.
Michigan fans should be pleased.
to hear that they can expect to
see this line operating together
for another year. Both Berenson
and Babcock are sophomores,
while Hinnegan is a junior.
I Pleasing prospect, isn't it.
