eweomers Key to 'M' Cagers' Success

By JOE APPELT
Perhaps the answer to why the
Michigan basketball fortunes have
taken on a bright aspect after
turning in a good game against
Ohio State and upsetting Iowa
Monday night can be attributed
to the improved play of the new-
comers in this year's lineup.
Monday night the Wolverines
did not succumb to the tendency
to fade under the pressure of a
close game, especially in the last
few minutes. This happened
against South Carolina and Port-
land. The newcomer's improved
individual play and ability to work
together better averted this.
Cantrell Settles Down
Case in point is sophomore Bob
Cantrell. Ineffective in his first
games, he has now settled down
to consistent and effective play.
Coach Dave Strack feels this is due
to the fact that, "He has gained
a lot of valuable game experience
and does not feel the pressure as
much as in those earlier games."
Cantrell turned in his finest
game against Ohio State in lead-
ing the Wolverine scoring with 17
points. Monday night the home
town fans saw him play for the
first 'time since before Christmas
and from the crowd reaction, he
,And his 14 points were well re-
ceived. His defensive work was
also noticeable.
Herner Draws Praise
Doug Herner, who came off the
bench in the closing minutes Mon-
day night to score two important
baskets drew praise from Strack.
"I was very pleased with his per-
formance," he said.

usual good defensive game. He

other Hawkeyes to shoot high over
his extended arms as he jumped
in defense. This resulted in inac-
curate shots. He had 13 rebounds
to his credit.
John Oosterbaan, a bright spot
in the lineup all year, ironically
had one of his coldest nights in the
scoring department. He still
turned in a good performance with
key shots, including the basket
which tied the score at 55-55, and
10 rebounds.
Decrease in Errors
The decrease in thernumber of
errors committed in a game have
been evident in the last two games.
Against Ohio State they com-
mitted only 11 errors, the same
number as the Bucks. It was the
same story with Iowa. "Fewer
than ten mistakes is considered
good and this is hard to do."
Not a Newcomer
One member who is not a new-
comer is Tom Cole, who sank the
winning free throw that won the
game Monday night. Cole has been
particularly hot from the free
throw line lately. He made seven
for seven against Illinois and was
four for four against Iowa. In the
game with the Hawkeyes he also

MIAMI BEACH-Today college
football coaches may know wheth-
er they can take a tighter rein
on their teams' performances in
the field.
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association Rules Committee dis-'
cussed yesterday various requests
from the American Coaches As-
sociation, the latter group present-
ed, through a - committee, an 11-
point report.
One request of the Coaches'
Committee is permission to make
two "wild card" substitutions next
season instead of one.
Seeking less restrictions, the
coaches have asked elimination of
a rules committee recommenda-
tion-not a rule-against a coach
sending in plays frequently with
substitutes. Permission for a coach
to talk from the sidelines with one
player on the field during time-
outs also is being discussed.
Today will be devoted to action
by the rules committee on pro-
posals discussed yesterday.
Former Michigan Coach Fritz
Crisler is directing the rules com-
mittee's sesions. He is taking the
place of Chairman Robert R. Ney-
land, Athletic Director of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee.
Neyland was ordered last week-
end to a New Orleans clinic for
a physical checkup.
Big Money
NEW YIRK - Whitey Ford,
baseball's biggest winner in 1961,
became the highest salaried pitch-
er in New York Yankee history
yesterday when he signed a one-
year contract for $50,000.
Yogi Berra, who had been Ford's
batterymate for ten years until
he turned outfielder last season,
also agreed to terms for 1962, put-
ting his signature to a contract
calling for an estimated $52,000.
