(MP) - The Soviet rnion will challenge the United tates for the Americas' Cup in 964, the president of the Yacht- ig Federation of the USSR said esterday. Alexi Promislov told Hugh Wahl, baff writer of Skipper Magazine, hat the Russians will issue a ormal challengeat an early date. The Australians are challenging 3r the first time this year at New- ort, R.I., with a yacht, Gretel, nd the British have announced hat they will make another at- empt afterward. "We have not solved the sail abric problem yet," said Promis- )v. "We are working on it and ope to have fabric suitable for, ails by that time." COLIRADO SPRINGS (P)-With one good victory under their belts, the American hockey players were keyed up yesterday and hopeful of beating the favored Canadian defenders for the world amateur ice hockey championship. There's nothing blase about the U.S. team even though it includes five Canadian-born stars, three members of the 1960 Olympic and world champions, and five exper- ienced puck pushers from the Eastern Hockey League. "We're really up for this cham- pionship," said Ken Johannson, a 31-year-old right winger from Rochester, Minn., via Edmonton, Canada. "A lot of the fellows have never played in this type of in- ternational competition and are determined to make good. "We know a lot of our friends are going to 'be watching the game with Canada and we want to go into that game with a chance to win. If we do-and I feel con- fident we will-the Canadians had better be ready for the game of their lives." Johannson, who has played in England, Scotland and Switzer- land as well as the U.S. and Can- ada, stars for the Rochester (Minn) Mustangs of the U.S. Hockey League. He is one of the loop's leading scorers. The crew cut veteran scored one of the goals Thursday night in the Americans' 14-2 rout of Nor- way. Canada, with Tod Sloan scoring twice, trounced Finland 8-1 in its opener. Stanley Cupper Sloan, now reinstated to ama- teur status, played with the Stan- ley Cup champion Chicago Black Hawks last season. Both teams were idle yesterday. They will play their second games Saturday night. - The Yanks will face Sweden at Colorado Springs while the Canadians will meet West Germany in Denver. Swe- den and West Germany are rated just below the two North American sextets in the eight-team cham- pionship group. "I think this team is as good ds the one we had at Squaw Valley (Calif.) in 1960," said Billy Christian, of Warroad, Minn. I* By JERRY KALISH Every time Terry Dischinger1 scores a point against the Wolver- ines this afternoon, he will en- hance three personal records. And if he does not score a point; (he might get sick), he is assured of a new career record average of 29 points. Additionally, he already holds the seasonal free throw mark and the three-year Big Ten scor- ing total. Dischinger's attempt at his third' consecutive conference scoring crown will start at 4 in Yost Field House preceded by a skirmish be- tween the freshman team and the1 varsity reserves.1 Rayl, Dischinger Tied 3 Jimmy, Rayl, 6'2" Indiana guard, is tied with Dischinger in an In- trastate battle for scoring honors.1 If Rayl should manage to beat 1 Dischinger, it will be the first time, since 1939 that a guard has won, the title, which is as far back as the Big Ten record book lists the individual scorers. Rayl, hot on Dischinger's trail all year, finally caught up last week. Last Saturday Indiana took a 88-71 decision over Purdue, and Rayl took scoring honors over the defending champion, 37-21. Hoosiers Romp And last Monday night Hoosiers dumped Illinois 104-92 in another of their loose defensive efforts, and the Kokomo sharpshooter connected for 37 while Purdue was idle. Indiana coach Branch Mc- Cracken pulled his star out of the game before it was over, but he later realized how close Ray was to Dischinger. He quickly inserted the little guard back into the line- Grapefruit League Gets Under Way By MIKE BLOCK Major league baseball opens the Grapefruit League season today with a record total of 20 teams vying for diamond glory. In Florida, Arizona and Cali- fornia, where snow is unknown and hopes are unbounded, 10 games are scheduled on this first day of inter-squad rivalry for the 1962 season. The New York Yankees, picked to repeat as American League champs by practically all sports- writers, take on the Baltimore Orioles at Fort Lauderdale, Flor- ida. The Birds are making their first appearance under freshman manager Billy Hitchcock. The defending National League champions, the Cincinnati Reds, go against the Chicago White Sox at Sarasota. The Detroit Tigers, AL runner-ups in 1961, test the Milwaukee Braves at Lakeland, while the NL second-placers, Los Angeles Dodgers, collide with the Kansas City Athletics at Vero Beach. Elsewhere in the Sunshine State, the newly formed New York Mets play the St. Louis Cardinals at St. Petersburg, with the Philadel- phia Phillies meeting the Min- nesota Twins at Orlando and Pittsburgh's Pirates facing Wash- ington's Senators at Fort Meyers. Over in Arizona, Tuscon features an exhibition between the San Francisco Giants and the Cleve- land Indians, and the Chicago Cubs test the Boston Red Sox at Mesa. In the lone Caifornia contest, the infant Houston Colt 45s run into the Los Angeles Angels at Palm Springs to round out the exhibition card. up, and Rayl managed one more basket and a free throw. But Rayl has the disadvantage of bumping elbows with Ohio State, the best defensive team in the league, while Michigan has only 6'7" Tom Cole to match Dischinger's height. And as someone (in the Indiana athletic department) remarked, "At best, the big inside man has more in his favor than the little outside shooter." While most of the attention will be focused on the Purdue center's battle, there will be another rivalry going on. Michigan guard Bob Cantrell will be face to face with his former high school teammate, Phil Daw- kins, one of the Boilermaker's reg- ulars. Both players helped lead their Washington High team of East Chicago, Indiana,to a state championship. But they won't be guarding each other, since Daw- kins, only 6'2", is a forward. Cantrell and his running mate, Jon Hall, will have to contend with Purdue's capable guards, Mel Garland and Tim McGinley. Gar- land, a sophomore, is Purdue's sec- ond leading scorer and thirteenth in the conference with a 14.8 point average. He is connecting on a very creditable 48 per cent of hi field goal attempts. Behind him in team scoring is senior McGinley who is averaging 12.9 points a game. Last Appearance This afternoon's encounter will be the last appearance for four Wolverineseniors,starters all and Bob Brown, and Steve Schoen- herr and Charlie Higgs. Hall, captain of the cagers, is averaging 11.2 points a game while contributing a fine floor and de- fensive game. A strong, hard driver, he has turned in several fine performances this season. His 11 points in the last eight minutes against Northwestern sparked the Wolverines to a 82-71 victory. His high point effort of the season was 20 points against Detroit. Taking over John Oosterbaan's position between semesters, Brown has been valuable to the Wolver- ines. The rugged football captain is a determined rebounder where his 225 pounds and 6'4" frame are no liability. Brown was also in- strumental in that win over the Wildcats, pulling down 16 re- bounds to lead all players in that department. Nosed Out Schoenheri and Higgs, who earned letters last year and saw considerable action as regulars, were nosed out this year for start- ing berts by the arrival of several newcomers to the Michigan bas- ketball scene. The two veterans are Coach Dave Strack's top replace- ments. Michigan has a chance to tie for fifth place by winning. The Wol- verines have only been in the first division twice since 1949. While Strack has been a head coach, his teams have never won their last game. Two years ago at Idaho he lost to Washington and last year he was beaten by Indiana. Considering all the records that will be broken this afternoon, Strack hopes this one is included. BIG PHOTO SALE at TODAY By GARY WINER So, you can't remember when the last time was that a Michi- gan basketball team captured the league title? Well, really wasn't so long ago, the 1947-48, season. That's the year Michigan be- came the first school since 1931, when Purdue turned the trick, to capture both the Big Nine foot- ball and basketball championships. (Michigan State hadn't been ac- cepted into the league yet.) Badgers Defended Wisconsin was the defending basketball champion, but the pre- season forecast by the Associated Press didn't favor the Badgers to repeat their performance, No, the two teams that were were pre- season selections were Minnesota and Michigan. Coach Ozzie Cowles had just ar- rived that year to pilot the Wol- verines, fifth place finishers the previous year. Cowles had coach- ed Dartmouth College to six Ivy League crowns before Michigan was able to lure him away. 'Cowles' starting lineup consist- ed of some fine athletes, especially one whom most Michigan students still recognize today. His name is Pete Elliott, who now is Illi- nois' football mentor and the brother of the Wolverines' grid coach, "Bump." The younger El- liott was the starting guard and at the end of the season he was placed on the Associated Press' honorable mention All-American basketball squad. Mack Suprunowicz played in one of the worward spots and led all Michigan scorers that year with a relatively modest 145 point to- tal. Cowles' philosophy was not to outscore his opponents per se, but to set up such a tough defenseJ that the other team couldn't score. He was quite successful in this as Michigan was claimed the best defensive team in the country. The Wolverines clinched the ti- tle when they downed Iowa 51-35 . before a screaming crowd of 9,000 fans _ at Yost Field House .." March 2.r Received NCAA Bid The Wolverines had ended the season with a 10-2 conference rec- ord and immediately received an invitation to the NCAA Tourna- ment at Madison Square Garden. Here the Michigan cagers ran into a tough Holy Cross team and suffered a humiliating defeat, 63-+ 45. The Crusaders won mostly on the efforts of their all-American+ guard Bob Cousy who scored 23 points. Yes, it really wasn't so long ago. Michigan won the Rose Bowl that year also.
