Swim meet finals, All-Campus
Diving, Fraternity Water Polo and
a Skin Diving exhibition, from 7
to 9:30 is planned.

provide a badminton exhibition,
which will coincide with exhibition
tennis matches by members of the
Michigan varsity and freshman
teams.r
At 8 tennis and badminton nets

All-Campus Gymnastics
In the auxiliary gym, the all-
campus gymnastics meet will be-

It is evident that Riskey is right
when he says "there is something
for everyone." The only thing is,
there just might be too much-
but no one can complain about
that.

lead that they were never to lose.
The mile saw Dahl and Wenley
House gain the laurels with a win-

Montreal 6, Chicago 2
MONTREAL - The Montreal
Canadiens roared to life with four
goals in the third period last night
to defeat Chicago Black Hawks
6-2 and take a 1-0 lead in their
best-of-seven semifinal series for
the Stanley Cup.
Six Montrealers shared in the
scoring, but it was not until the
third period that they were able
to shake off the hard-checking
Hawks, who twice tied the score
in the earlier periods.
In the final period the Montreal
drive began early and less than
seven minutes later four goals had
whizzed past goalie Glenn Hall.
In the first period Bernie
(Boom Boom) Geoffrion scored
for Montreal and Tod Sloan for
Chicago. Gilles Tremblay put the
Canadiens ahead in the second
period but Pierre Pilotte evened
the score..
The runaway string of four
goals in the final period was sup-
plied by Claude Provost, Dickie
Moore, Phil Goyette and Jean-Guy
Talbot. '
By BRIAN MacCLOWRY
For the past week a well dressed,
youngish looking man has been
surveying the inside of Yost Field
House with the same look an
American college track coach
would have if he had just dis-
covered a four-minute miler in
the student body.
To Gustav Laurell, coach of the
Swedish Olympic team, an indoor
track is like an American four-
minute miler-few exist.
It didn't take much guesswork
to tell that Laurell was a track
coach. Between gazes to the far
reaches of the Field House, he
watched almost excited as Ben-
nie McRae skipped effortlessly
over the hurdles and Ergas Leps
and Dave Martin started their
everyday routine of jogging sev-
eral warmup laps.
No Indoor Tracks
"In Sweden," he said, still
watching the action on the track,
"we have no indoor tracks. The
closest, thing we have to them are
three or four straightaways of
about 40 yards each inside gym-
nasiums.
"One reason for this," he con-
tinued, "is the fact that we don't
have any inter-school competition
in Sweden. All school competi-
tion is what you might call intra-
mural. Don't forget Sweden is not
a large country like the United
States," he added. "We only have
four or five Universities and a
population of seven million.
"With no indoor season our
first real competition doesn't come
until the middle of May when the
weather warms up. We then are
able to work until about the mid-
dle of November before we are
frozen in again."
Hampers Athletes
Laurell thinks that this lack of
an indoor season and the relative-
ly short outdoor campaign ham-
pers Scandinavian athletes when
it comes to international compe-
tition.
Those who might think Laurell
is alibing for any failures on the
part of Swedish athletes are not
familiar with track and field. For
under his tutelage have developed
such stars as Dan Waern who
was third in the classic 1500-meter
run in the last Olympics, and
who also holds the third best time
in the world for the event; and
Dan Petterson who was fifth in
the high-jump at Rome. Petter-
son, confides Laurell, has cleared
seven feet in practice.
Canham's Guest
For the past week Laurell has
been the guest of Michigan track
coach Don Canham. His visit tc
Ann Arbor marks only one sto:
on a tour of the United States
which began February 17 and will
conclude with the NCAA track
championships June 16-17. His
prime mission will be to study
American track facilities and
techniques.
Canham met Laurell in 1954
when they worked together coach-
ing a European track team, the
Michigan mentor being more or
less in an advisory capacity.
Laurell hastily admits that he
was never an outstanding track
man in his own right. "I did place
fifth in the hurdles in the na-
tional championships one year,"
he finally revealed after some
prodding. His track career as a
participant ended in 1938 when
he entered the army on the eve
of the Finnish-Russian war. Laur-
ell, although he coaches in Swe-
den, was born in Finland and is
still -a Finnish citizen.
I
Permanent Position
After the war he turned to
coaching in the afternoons-when
his regular job ended. In 1948
coaching became a permanent vo-
cation for Laurell when he was
hired by the Swedish-Finnish
Track Association on a full time
basis.
He remained in that capacity
until three years ago when he was
lured away by the Swedish Track
and Field Association to become
one of two fully-paid track coach-
es in the entire country.
"Sweden has 'some' amateur
track coaches," he explains, "but
they are paid just expenses. Oth-
erwise there are only the two of
us to coach track and field
throughout the entire country."
He added that he has some 1,500
athletic clubs under his jurisdic-
tion, of which 700 are exclusively
track and field.
This lack of coaches is one of
the main differences Laurell sees
between American training meth-
ods and those of the Scandina-
vians.
"Coaches and athletes are clos-
er together in the United States,"
he explains. "Here a coach sees a
boy every day and he is able to
work with him constantly. In
Sweden I'm traveling 130 to 140
days a year and may see the same
boy only three or four times dur-
ing that span. I can tell him what
I think he should do, but then
the rest is up to him.
New Records
Laurell attributes the fantastic
track and field accomplishments
of the past decade-the four min-
ute mile, 60-foot shot put, seven-
foot highJump, and :44.9 440-yard
dash-to four things: 1) Weight-
lifting, 2) better techniques, 3)
better coaching, and 4) increased
popularity of the sport.
,{Weightlifting is the major
reason for many of the new rec-
ords being set," he declares. "Be-
cause of weightlifting today's ath-
letes are much stronger than their
predecessors and consequently can
achieve that little extra distance
or height that heretofore was
deemed impossible.
"It is also one of the reasons
the Russians have come so far so
fast in track and field," he re-
marked.
The Swedish coach is hopeful
now that the USSR has embraced
track and field on an internation-
al scale that the sport can lead
to a better understanding between
nations.

STARTING TOMORROW NIGHT:
M' Sailing Club To Begin New Season
In spite of the chilly weather,
die-hard members of the Michigan
Sailing Club are planning to start
the season this weekend.
With the open meeting tomor-
row night, the club launches- an-
other year of almost-year-around
sailing on Base Line Lake. The
meeting, which will be held in the
Union Ballroom at 7:30 p.m., is
designed to introduce prospective
members to the facilities and pro-
cedures of the club. A series of
slides, depicting summer and win-
ter activties of the club, highlights
the program.
The club owns a fleet of eight
Jet 14's, which are sloop-rigged
centerboard boats carrying ap-
proximately 100 sqa ft. of sail area.

marksmanship in the closing mo-
ments led Scott to a come-from-
behind 33-31 victory over a fast
Lloyd squad last night to clinch the
Residence Halls "B" second place
title.
Trailing at halftime, 18-15,
Scott lagged behind the Lloyd
quintet for most of the second
half, as Lloyd, paced by Ron
Mlchaelson's ten points, never per-
mitted the men from South Quad
to close the gap.
With only minutes remaining,
however, Ned Shure hit three suc-
cessive baskets, including the one
that put Scott ahead to stay. Paul
O'Reilly was high scorer for the
victors with nine points.'
In the playoff for t'op honors
among third place "B" teams, Kel-
sey walloped Strauss, 54-1. Dis-
plyaing hustle and a remarkable
mastery of the backboards, Kel-
sey poured in seven quick buckets
before the losers had registered a
point. Larry Jackier led all scorers
with 16 poiuits, while teammate
Steve Schmidt contributed 14.
In Residence Hall "A" Team ac-
tion, Scott, broke out of a half-
time deadlock to conquer Michi-
gan, as Ron Chapman took scor-
ing honors with 24 points; Hay-
den edged Strauss, 44-42; Hinsdale
"A" overcame Wenley, 40-35,
while Reeves "B" downed Cooley,
28-21.
In addition, members may use the
MIT dinghy, and an outboard-
powered crash boat is always
ready to rescue any boats which
may capsize or swamp.
Sailing is generally done only
on the weekends during the school
sessions, and to accommodate the
many members who may wish to
go but who have no transporta-
tion, the club have evolved a
unique system: at the weekly
Thursday night meetings, mem-
bers with cars sign up to drive out
at a specific time on the weekend,
and a member who wishes to go
sailing merely waits at the north
door of the Union until the driver
comes along.
Shore School
Not all those members who go
sailing, however, are experts-far
from it. And for those who are
not expert, or who have never
sailed at all, the club conducts an
informal "shore school", after the
business session of each meeting,
The shore school sessions are sup-
plemented by sailing practice on
the weekends, and a member may
progress from the ranks of the
novice through a series of three
ratings which the club has estab-
lished.
The basic requirement for mem-
bership is the ability to swim, but
to achieve the first level of profici-
ency-a "crew" rating-the mem-
ber must demonstrate elementary
skills in handling the jib, basic
knots, and safety procedure in
boats.
The middle level "helmsman"
rating-requires the crew to han-
dle the tiller in a moderate breeze,
putting the boat through the basic
maneuvers; the rules of the road,
capsize procedure, and a few addi-
tional knots.
Skipper Rating
The top level in club sailing is
the "skipper" rating, which re-
quires superior skill of the sailor
in handling the boat in a strong
breeze, as well as additional skills
in care of the boats.
For those members who enjoy a
little more spice in their sailing
lives than merely "cruising" can
afford, the club sponsors an inter-
collegiate sailing team, which be-
longs to the Midwest Collegiate
Sailing Association and which
travels to other schools in the
area( and other areas) for regat-
tas.
And on Sunday mornings during
the season, the club holds an in-
tra-club series of races, for those
members either ineligible tor un-
interested in intercollegiate racing.
