THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1961 TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1981 OR DAVE GILLANDERS: Butterfly Duel Yields Record MAN in #4Jtkn by MIKE GILLMAN DOWNS PHILADELPHIA, 115-107: Syracuse Wins Playoff Tilt By JAN WINKELMAN "I didn't expect to do as well as did," commented Dave Gillan- rs, recalling his record-breaking 0- and sub-two minute 200-yard tterfly performances at the Big n championship meet held :arch 3 and, 4 at Columbus. Although Dave is a hard worker d had been concentrating on e Big Ten meet, his times the evious week did not indicate the emendous showing, he would ake in both the 200-and 100-yd. ents. "Mike Troy made the differ- ce," explained Dave. The com- Aition with Indiana's star but- rfly man, Mike Troy, afforded .e extra incentive that sparked Dave's new American, Big Ten, and world record performance in the 100-yd. butterfly. Gillanders' :53.0 clocking in the 100-yard event eclipsed the old mark of :53.1 previously held by Troy. Dave's 1:58.4 in the 200 is the second-fastest.ever swam for the event. Troy's 1:58.0 in the same race is the pool, Big Ten, and NCAA record in the event. Coach Stager was, of course, proud of Gillanders' showing, at Columbus. He is cautiously hope- ful of even better performances at Seattle in the NCAA and at New Haven in the NAAU meet. Gillanders frankly admits that he performs best when he is faced with top-notch competition. He should get just that at both Seat- tle and New Haven from the many fine butterfly men swimming for Southern California, notably Olympian Lance Larson. 'A' Student Dave's recent triumph over Troy, whom he had not defeated since the 1959 Pan - American Games, came as the result of a great deal of hard work. Besides the usual afternoon workout, Dave tries to swim in the mornings or evenings. He maintains an "A" academic average, which is all the more remarkable considering the time Dave spends practicing. The senior electrical engineering major first became interested in swimming at a YMCA camp. He, like most beginning swimmers, concentrated on the crawl. How- ever, it was not until Gillanders' sophomore year at Royal Oak Dondero High School that he swam butterfly, his specialty. His only attempt at seriously swimming other strokes was a brief flirt with. the 150-yd. indi- vidual medley event in high school. Since that time, Dave has exclu- sively swim butterfly. "Coach Stager has been a great help to me with his superb knowl- edge of swimming and his almost infinite patience," remarked Gil- landers. "Although I was hoping to beat Troy, I didn't think that I would win the 100. I am primarily a dis- tance man, whereas Troy is best known for his sprint ability. "I was reasonably sure that I could go the 200 under two min- utes, but I did not have similar assurance in the 100," commented Gillanders. I In fact, Gillanders has repeated- ly been beaten by Michigan cap- tain Frank Legacki in the 100-yd. butterfly. The modest senior will be work- ing hard in the coming weeks to try to better his existing record in the 100-yd butterfly. He also has his eye on Troy's record in the 200. A victory in the NCAA meets would be a fitting climax to his great collegiate career. Nice Guys DO WinE MONDAY AFTERNOON at 3:00, hockey manager Chuck Wreford1 was on duty as usual in the locker room of the Michigan Coliseum. Usually at 3 p.m. the room is a noisy confusion of sweatshirts, skates,' pads and 20-plus players getting ready for practice. But Monday, Chuck was a lonely figure in an empty room-1 quietly packing the jersies away for their annual trip to the mothballs. He looked up, "No, Al hasn't been here all afternoon. There wasn't much reason for him to come down." He was right there. The season ended last weekend. It ended on a somewhat sour note, with the Wolverines dropping a ttal-goal series to Minnesota, 6-4, losing the right to play in the NCAA playoffs in Denver. No, there wasn't much reason for Al to come to the rink. Despite the unhappy ending, the story of the 1960-61 hockey season was a fairly cheerful one. It was the story of a man and an ambition. The man? Allan M. Renfrew. The ambition? To bring Michigan hockey back to the level it enjoyed in the late 40's. Michigan hockey has a colorful history. It includes more than its share of national championships and the all-time Wolverine per-( centage of ice wins is still tops in the west. Renfrew played in the days when that record was in the making.- Lettering in 1946,7,8,9, Renfrew played on teams that compiled a1 68-17-6 mark, and in his senior campaign, the Wolverines won 19,1 lost one, and tied three. This single-season percentage stood as an all-time high until this year's Denver powerhouse rewrote the record books. Renfrew got used to winning.a After stints as head coach of Michigan Tech (where he turned an also-ran into a league contender) and North Dakota, his alma, mater called him back-called him back to some hard times. Then started a four-year rebuilding program that finally paid off, this season. A Profie ..*. ENFREW likes to win. Sure,'all coaches do, but not many of them lose 20 pounds through a season, worrying for weeks ahead of time and refusing to eat anything except an occasional egg on game nights.' Maybe this season's wrap-up was disheartening, but the fact remains that after four years, Renfrew brought home a winner. During the regular season, the Wolverines posted a 16-9-1 mark, far outstripping last season's 12-12 record, Renfrew's previous best. Coaching any college team is a tough task. Coaching a team made up of former Canadian junior players that can't be coached-they know it all already-is an even tougher one. The college hockey coach has to be first a recruiter, then a personnel administrator and some- times a father. If you go by the record, Renfrew makes the grade. Everyone has a weakness. Renfrew's is that he's too easy-going.,. He didn'thave to schedule Denver four times, but he wanted Ann Arbor puck-fans to have a chance at seeing the best team. in the country. As a result, the Wolverines are sitting home this weekend. But you can't help admiring him for it. He has continually fought what may be a losing battle to keep restrictions out of the league rules that would limit the number of Canadians allowed to play hockey here. He calls it "prejudice" and knows only too well what it can mean to a Canadian youth to have the opportunity of an American education. He had his chance, others should have a chance too. And a Father .... ASIDE of the cigar-smoking coach that most fans don't see is his Arole as "father" to his team. It sounds sort of strange to call him a "father' of a bunch of 21-year-olds, many of whom have children of their own (that would make him a grandfather, wouldn't it?). But he's even played that role. Halfway through the '59-'60 sea- son, he lost a handful of players because of scholastic ineligibilities. One of them was in very real danger of being forced to leave school. In a minute, Al was on the phone, pleading that the boy be given a chance to get his grades up. He felt as close to this boy as if he was his own son, Renfrew told the voice on the other end of the line-he didn't even care if he ever played another minute of hockey, just give him a chance to go to school. A handful of us in the room kidded him after the call was com- pleted, telling him what a ham he was. The funny thing was-he meant it. The school gave Al's "son" another chance. In one semester he made up his deficient honor points with some to spare. He's playing hockey again, but more important to Al-he'll be getting his degree. Out of Denver comes a note from Don Smith, the Pioneer infor mation director: "We feel that we are definitely at the end of an era, as far as the so-called 'super' type of team that we have this year . .. Coach Armstrong feels that your Michigan team will be the team to beat next year." For the sake of Coach Renfrew, we hope Armstrong is right. Another winning season-this time topped by an NCAA crown- By The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA- Ex-Philadel- phia Warrior Larry Costello pow- ered the Syracuse Nationals to a 115-107 victory over Philadelphia last night in the opening game of the National Basketball Associa- tion's preliminary playoffs.

Led by varsity gridders Joe O'Donnel and Bill Freehan, SAE' jumped off to an early 10-0 lead and after that the score was never close as the pair repeatedly scored on easy lay-ups and short jump shots.s Freehan ended up with 18 points1 and O'Donnell had 16, while domi- nating both the offensive and de-1 fensive backboards for victorious1 SAE. Phi Gam had a much more dif- ficult time in defeating Psi U in1 the other semi-final game, as Dick Lyons scored the winning basket with 30 seconds remaining Jim Burns had led the Fiis to a 15-7 half-time lead, but a late free throw pulled the Psi U's to a 21-2 1 tie only to have them lose on Lyons' two-pointer. After the score was 21-all, Phi Gam took a two-point lead only to have Psi U tie the score again, but then Lyons' field goal put the game on ice. In the semi-finals of the second- place playoffs, Delta Tau Delta downed Sigma Alpha Mu 52-38 after the Sammies had taken a 21-18 half - time lead on the strength of Art Bartner's 18 points. However, Lars Anderson sparked the Delts' comeback with 19 points, eight in the second half to enable them to reach the second-place finals. It was the Delts' height that made the difference as 6'8" Dana Baldwin contributed 10 points, controlled the boards and blocked many SAM shots to lead his team's defensive effort. In other fraternity action, Phi Kappa Psi defeated Tau Delta Phi 49-29; Delta Sigma Phi downed Theta Chi, 45-25; and Chi Phi whipped Alpha Sigma Phi, 37-32. Phi Sigma Delta also was vic- torious over Delta Chi, 44-29, while Delta Upsilon tripped up Al- pha Epsilon Pi, 58-42. ST. PATRICK'S DAY AjC Nats, third-place finishers in the regular season, outhustled the sec- ond-place Warriors all the way. Teammate Hal Greer, another "not-so-big" Nat, chipped in with 25 points. Wilt Chamberlain, who had two and sometimes three or four men covering him, led allscorers with 46 points. He sank 19 of 39 shots but only eight of 19 free throws. Although the Warriors rallied several times to tie, they couldn't. keep their momentum going. Midway in the third quarter the Nats were ahead by 17 points, 82- 65. At three-quarters they had an 86-75 advantage, but the Warriors stormed back-led by Guy Rod- gers and Paul Arizin -- with 11 straight at the outset of the final quarter to pull into an 86-86 dead- lock. For all practical purposes, the game ended there. Led by Greer and Costello, Syra- cuse clustered its own string of nine to gain a 95-86 edge, and the Warriors never got close again. Detroit 5, New York 2 DETROIT-Norm Ullman fired four goals-three in the first 14 minutes-but the Detroit Red Wings still had to battle to the final minutes last night for a 5-2 National Hockey League victory over the New York Rangers. Ullman scored his 25th, 26th, and 27th goals to send Detroit in- to a commanding lead. But it was Alex Delvecchio's tally at 17:52 of the third period that saved De- troit from New York's mounting pressure. Ullman got his fourth goal one minute later for added insurance. Pat Hannigan and Andy Heben- ton had whittled Detroit's ad- vantage to 3-2 and the Rangers were pressing for the equalizer when Delvecchio scored. Ullman, wearing a helmet to protect a black eye he received Sunday, opened the scoring on substitute goalie Marcel Paille at 2:04 of the first period. Within the next twelve minutes, he had the second hat trick of his 6-sea- son NHL career. Gordie Howe assisted on two goals and stretched his Detroit scoring record to 17 straight games. The game was meaningless in the NHL standing. Detroit already has clinched the fourth and final Stanley Cup playoff berth. The Rangers are stuck in fifth place.

Liberty - NO 2-0266 How to hint for your trip to Britain By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Fred Crawford and All America Tom Stith com- bined for 63 points last night as St. Bonaventure, staggered by a firebrand Rhode Island team, swept froi behind for an 86-76 victory in the first round of the NCAA eastern regional playoffs. Crawford, one of the best of a fine sophomore crop in college basketball this season, scored 34 points in a spectacular all-around performance that overshadowed that of Stith, his more publicized teammate. Stith added 29 points and playmaker Whitey Martin 17, so the .trio accounted for all but six of the points scored by the Bonnies, the nation's third-ranked team. The big crowd was with little Rhode Island all the way but they just couldn't match the fire power of Crawford and Stith. Mul- ter led the Rams with 23 points and Lee had 12.

Wake Forest 97, St. John '74 NEW YORK -Hulking Wake Forest, 10 points behind at the half, snapped St. John's 9-game winning streak 97-74, last night. Wake Forest, with three men on its roster 6'8" and over and an- other at 6'6", got its drive this time from a 160-lb. sophomore named Dave Wiedeman, who wasn't even in the starting line- up. The youngster from Delano, N.J., picked the floundering Dea- cons up just when they needed it -with St. John's leading 52-42 and about 17 minutes to play. Princeton 84, Geo.
