After Saturday's victory over
Indiana and before last night's
Minnesota encounter, Michigan re-
mained firmly in second place in
the Associated Press Poll, while
UCLA strengthened its hold on
first.
The Wolverines gained 320 votes
in the poll, and UCLA, needing
only five more victories for an
undefeated season, totaled 376.
Kentucky's win over Mississippi
State last week helped them hold
on to their third place slot.
Duke, last week's No. 5 team,

moved up a notch to fourth place,
while Villanova, jumping three
spots, held the No. 5 position.
DePaul and Oregon State also
advanced with victories last week.
Oregon State climbed two spots
from ninth to seventh, while De-
Paul moved up one place to ninth
after beating Duquense and Can-
isius.
Wichita remained sixth despite
a 64-63 setback at the hands of
Drake. This victory helped Drake
move into the top ten for the first
time, replacing Vanderbilt who
lost twice.

butler Paces High-Flying Icers

By JIM TINDALL
Hockey coach Al Renfrew calls
Gary Butler a man with a "hard
quick shot who's hard to stop when
he gets up a full head of steam."
Butler led the Wolverines in
scoring last season with 25 goals
and 20 assists. This total of 45
points also put him in the runner-
up slot in WCHA scoring. With
six games left to play before tour-
nment time, Butler has scored 28

goals and made 23 assists already,
surpassing his season mark for
last year by six points.
The 23-year-old junior in the
School of Education credits his
improvement this year "just to
experience, and getting to know
each other's moves better."
Wing Man
Butler is a wing on the line
centered by Captain Gordie Wilke.
"Gordie and I have played to-
gether since about 1949," says
Butler. "Gordie is a real team
player, and he sets up a lot of
my shots." Coach Renfrew calls
this Butler-Wilke-Cole line, "one
of the very best that I have ever
coached."
Coach Renfrew says, "I was
really glad to see Butler go like
he can in the second and third
periods against State. He has been
hampered a little by his leg injury
but now he is playing strongly
again.
When asked about the team's
chances in the rapidly-approach-
ing NCAA tournament, Butler
replies, "I think that the team can
go all the way. Of course, Denver
will have a big advantage, play-
ing on their home ice, but I feel
that we have enough, ability on
the team to take the whole thing.
That is, if we play the way we
can play."
In comparing this year's team
with last year's, the modest Can-
adian said, "We had the man-
power last year and could keep up
with most of the teams we played
for the first two periods, but they

would kill us in the last period."
Butler calls the changeover from
Canadian to American hockey "not
too difficult-you gradually shift
into it. I really like this type of
play better. It's better for an
offensive player like me because
you have more room to skate in-
you don't have to worry about the-
red line, which allows the wings
to cut in faster."
Michigan's top scorer, who has
been playing hockey since he was
four, would like "to try playing

pro. They really play rough, but
I would like a crack at it anyway."
With Butler back on the ice at
full capacity for this weekend's
series with Minnesota, the Wolver-
ines' hopes of a sweep are consid-
erably brightened. M i c h i g a n
hockey fans can look for many
more goals from this junior, both
in the next two weeks, as well as
next week.

By BOB CARNEY
"Iowa most certainly had a cal-
culated plan of victory, but our
boys rose to the occasion to beat
This is how Wrestling Coach
Cliff Keen described Michigan's
tight mat win over Iowa Saturday.
It was the eighteenth straight
dual-meet victory for the Wolver-
ines, and helped them maintain
their number three ranking in a
national magazine poll.
The plan which Keen refers to
was an obvious attempt by the
Hawkeyes to "shoot the works" in
four of Saturday's eight matches,
and shift completely in the other
four to defensive tactics.
"Went for Broke"
"In the 123, 137, 147 and 177-
pound matches, Iowa wrestlers
went for broke," Keen said.
"They were willing to take chances
to get the victory. Their strategy
was completely opposite in the
other weight classes where they
were clearly looking only for
draws; so our boys were forced
to make the first move."
In the first half of their plan,
the Hawkeyes were menacingly
successful. Collecting victories in
three of their four "offensive"
matches. they were defeated only
in the 147-lb. class where Lee
Deitrick gained the decision for
Michigan.
Iowa's strategy failed in its sec-
ond objective, however, for in

wrestling for the draw, they suf-
fered four defeats. In each of
those four matches, Michigan's
aggressiveness forced the Hawk-
eyes to act.
"Expect More"
"W, expect more of this kind of
strategy," commented Keen, "es-
pecially in the conference cham-
pionship. Everyone plans carefully
for that one. You've got to get the
right men in the right classes."
When asked if the tight score
indicated a team letdown after
such a long string of victories,
Keen said, "No, if anything I think
the boys were a little too tense.
But they handled the situation
well. Nobody disappointed me."
"Close Again?"
Last weekend's close score may
very well be duplicated this week-
end when the Wolverine matmen
travel to Michigan State. Although
the Spartans were defeated by
Iowa earlier in the season, they've
improved consistently.
"We've got a lot of little mis-
takes to work on this week," said
Keen. "State will be rough."
The national wrestling ratings
put one other Big Ten team in
the top ten in the country, North-
western, eighth. The others were:
Iowa State, first; Oklahoma State,
second; Colorado State, fourth;
fifth was Lehigh; sixth, Syracuse;
Southern Illinois, seventh; Navy,
ninth; and Bloomsburg State was
rated tenth.

SANS SHOULDER PADS:
Local Rugby Players
Support Rugged Sport

By STEVE ABRAMSON
Rugby, a game tougher than
football and one that takes just
as much speed and skill, is slowly
making headway as a sport at the
University. '
The University of Michigan
Rugby Club is composed of 35
members who grind it out when-
ever possible on Wednesday and
Thursday at Ferry Field. John
Broomfield, past coach of the
Australian National University
team and also assistant history
professor at Michigan, coaches the
team here. The squad is not es-
tablished as a varsity sport by the
Board in Control of Intercollegiate
Athletics but still in this capacity
tours the Midwest and plays in
tournaments around the country.
Pre-Football
An ancestor of football, a rugby
team is composed of 15 men, al-
lowing no substitutions and is
played ona field somewhatalarger
than a football field. There are
two 40-minute halves with only
a five-minute break between. The
ball resembles a overblown foot-
ball, a little larger in the middle,
which makes it better for kicking
than for passing.
The game begins with a kickoff,
and the players work the ball
down the field by passing it back
and forth. When a player is tack-
led by an opponent, he waits until
the last possible moment before he
throws it to one of his teammates.
The player has to release the ball
at this time or face a penalty.

If the ball should touch the
ground at any time during play
or in case of a penalty, a forma-
tion called a scrum is set up. The
two types of scrum which can be
used are called set scrum or loose
scrum. If the ball must be taken
out of bounds a set scrum is used,
in which the hooker stands over
the ball, with two props by his
side, kicks the ball back to the
scrum halfback who then throws
it to one of his backs; and from
there play starts all over again.
The object in rugby is to score
a try, worth three points, which is
similar to the touchdown of
American football and is made by
carrying the ball over the oppon-
ent's goal and placing it firmly on
the ground with one or two hands.
After the try, the scoring team
attempts a two point conversion
by drop-kicking the ball through
the uprights from a place 30 yards
away and parallel to the point
on the goal line where the score
was made. Points can also be
scored by a drop-kick made dur-
ing play and a penalty kick, each
worth three points.
The Michigan Rugby Club will
play at Chicago, Southwest On-
tario, Notre Dame and Indiana
during March and will go on tour
through the Midwest over spring
vacation.
John Auten, president of the
club, is asking for new members
to join the team. If anyone is in-
terested, go to the meeting at the
Michigan Union Thursday at
7:30 p.m.

To Gant, it's more than fabric; it's flair, fit, show-3 vital "inherents,"visible
only when a shirt is worn. Gant is finicky about shirts-fit and roll of collar,
proper amount of "show" when jacket is worn. Gant is finicky about drape,
fold, trim; all must "homogenize" to achieve flair-that viable ingredient
which gives the wearer comfort and aplomb.
Been taking your shirts for granted? Many men do. Try Gant; we think;
they'll be a tradition with you. At discerning stores.
