Placing in six,of the nine events- was Kelsey's key to victory, while Fred Clark and Phil Wynn paced the winners with eight and six points, respectively. Clark's honors came in the 880 yard run and the 65 yard high hurdles: while Wynn contributed markers in the broad- jumnp and the high jump. In the highs, the first of five running events, Clark's winning time of :09.1 got Kelsey off to the lead that they were never to lose. The mile saw Dahl and Wenley House gain the laurels with a win- ning time of 5:05.8, but the third event, the 60-yd. dash, went to Clark's teammate, Howard Schu- neman, with a time of :06.8. The last two running events went to the third and fourth place teams. Winchell House's Bob Law- rence topped the field in the 880 in 2:20.6 while Fred Seeley of Cooley House won the 440-yd. dash in :59.4. In the Pole Vault, Gomberg's Chuck Beyerlein cleared the bar at 10' for first in that event, while Huber House's Ralph Ruggles put the shot 47' 31/2" for his honors. Winchell's firsts went to John Hunt in the broad jump, a winning distance of 19'7%" and to Dean Crabbs in the high jump. He tied Wynn at 5'10" claiming a share of first place.

LOUIS - The Los Angeles Lakers mowed down the St. Louis Hawks last night, 122-118, on the strength of a spectacular 44-point performance by Elgin Baylor in the first game of the National Basketball Association's Western Division title playoffs. The Lakers, fresh from a play- off triumph over Detroit, out- scored the Hawks, 32-28, in the fourth quarter for their important victory. The teams were tied 90-90 at the end of three quarters. * * * 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.

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. Aggressive play and deadly Take Home a MICHIGAN SWEAT for. 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.
