Perigo Answers Critics,
HEN A BASKETBALL TEAM loses seven of Its first nine games
and gets off to its worst start in history, the wolves start hound-
ngthe coach. ',
That's the situation at Michigan, which begins its Big Ten season
his Saturday with cross-state rival Michigan State. Thus, Coach Bill
erigo was sought out about the problems encountered already and
aor a look into the future. The major questions and Perigo's answers
ire:
IS TIERE ANY SINGLE MAJOR PROBLEM THAT STANDS
)UT? "Yes. It's our lack of size on the backboards. This is the first
ime in six or seven years that ew haven't had three men up front
whose combined weight is over 600 pounds. Thus, we haven't been
able to get the rebounds for our fast break. We have been depending
rn sophomores Scott Maentz, who was five weeks behind schedule
because of football, 'and 6'1" Dick Clark, whose normal position is
guard."
HOW IS THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE TEAM? Perigo
eported that physical problems have struck six of his top seven
players. They are Maentz, slowed by the added weight of football
eason; Lovell Farris and John -Tidwell, who got off to slow starts
because of Thanksgiving fiu attacks; sophomore Bob Brown, who has
been recovering from a summer water-skiing injury; Dick Myer, who
was to start the last game but became sick after the California trip;
and Terry Miller, whose knee is heavily taped each game because of
~noperation last spring.
S"These all lead to another problem. Our top guys have had to
play almost full games and it's tiring. We played four games in six
diays during one stretch this year."
HOW HAS THE TEAM SPIRIT BEEN? "As a group, this is the
ardest-working team I've had here:. They'll do anything I ask. We've
had" to change "players from their normal positions and we've had
Ord practices. In fact, immediately after our return from California
Ve worked from 8-9:30 New Year's Eve and then again New Year's
Day. Yet there were no complaints at all."
SINCE THIS TEAM- DEPENDS ON A LOT OF SOPHOMORES,
HOW HAVE 'THEY BEEN? The coach doesn't feel they have had a
chance to develop properly. Maentz, one of few football players to
start for a Big Ten team in the last few years, is far from his peak.
Clark is "coming fast" but is out of position at forward. Steve Schoen-
herr has "always been in when the pressure was on him" due to the
lack of experienced depth on- the team and thus hasn't developed -
much confidence. Two other freshman starters of last year, Brown
and Jon Hall, won't be ready until second semester.
HAS OUR OFFENSVE SYSTE1VJ BEEN EFFECTIVE? "I've been
s fast break coach for 26 years and that's the key to this year's attack.
But you need some breaks to get started and we've had few because
)f our lack of-board strength. For our size, we should be a fast-break
club. But those injuries, isckness and subsequent lackof depth have
slowed us down."
WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH GOOD PLAYERS. IS
'HIS DUE TO OUR RECRUITING PROGRAM? "In the past two
yr three years we've had three centers who couldn't make it grade-
wlse. -And when we, lose one it really hurts because we have such a
aard time getting him in the first place.
'We have several recruiting problems here and it just takes one
ar two to turn a boy away. There's not enough big boys to go around
mnd most of them can't get into Michigan. A lot of tims a big boy
heeds all his strength while he is growing, including some that could
be used towards his studies in high school. Another problem is that
Viichlgan is known as a football school and best players want to go
:o basketball schools like the three 'I's'-Iowa, Indiana and Illinois.
HAVE OUR FACILITIES HELD US BACK? "In general, no.
Eligh school boys just want to play in a fieldhouse. I found that out
ivhen I coached at Western Michigan before it built its fieldhouse.
Ate played in a. gym and lost several players because of it, including
Don Schlundt (who twice was named All America later at Indiana)."
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUR SCHEDULE THIS YEAR?
?erigo calls it "by far, the toughest pre-season cshedule in Michigan
4story." Butler, Pittsburgh, Drake, Denver, Miami and Tennessee
all were outstanding in their conferences or as independents last year
rhen they were contracted. The recent Los Angeles Tourney is the
best Michigan has played in.
IS THERE MUCH HOPE LEFT FOR THIS YEAR? "We're im-
rovng-but we have to- with the Conference season beginning.
, "We haven't been so far off in any game yet. We were right up
ith, or ahead of, Drake, Butler, Denver, Stanford and Northwestern
intil the last five or 10 minutes.
, AND FINALLY, HOW ABOUT NEXT YEAR? "Our freshmen
are the best as a group since five years ago when M. C. Burton, George
tee and Jack Lewis all entered school at once"

NEW YORK-The University of
Oklahoma last night was handed
one of the severest penalties ever
meted out by the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association - in-
definite probation and a ban fromj
appearing in post season football
gamesrand on television-for fall-
ing to disclose details of a fund for
recruiting athletes.
At the same time, the NCAA
council, the policy making body,
put the University of Tulsa under
oneyear probation for recruiting
Sirregularities.
In both cases, it appeared that'
the institutions were being held
responsible for violations not en-
tirely under their control.
Oklahoma's difficulty arose from
a fund administered by Arthur
L. Wood of Oklahoma City. In at
least one case the NCAA estab-
lished thaat the fund had pro-
vided improper financial aid to a
student athlete.
Wood Silent
Wood, despite urging from Uni-
versity officials, has refused to
open his records to NCAA investi-
gators.
The severity of the sentence was
due largely to the fact that when

NEW YORK - The Chicago
Black Hawks lost league scoring
leadei' Bobby Hul for two periods
after a bloodless scrap last night
but still had enough punch to
whip New York 2-1 and gain
fourth place in the NHL.
Rookie Bill (Red) Hay's angled
30-footer at 19:31 of the second
period was the winning .goal. after
both Hull and Rangers' bad man,
Louis Fontinato, had been 'an-
ished from the game .n match
penalties for "attempt to inure."
TORONTO - Big Frank Ma-
hovlich scored two goals and set
up another last night as the Tor-
onto Maple Leafs defeated the
Detroit Red Wings 3-1 to take
over sole possession -of second
place in the National Hockey
League.
Right winger Gordie Howe had
put the Wings ahead 1-0 in the
first period.

Twyman's 30 points and the bril-.
liant floor play of Phil Rollins,
downed' the New York Knicker-
bockers 129-113 last night in the
first game of an NBA double-
header..
Rollins, playing his finest game
of the season in the opener, hand-
ed out 13 assists, seven of them
in the second period, to move the
Royals from a 45-45 tie to a 64-52
halftime advantage.

night fora 121-101 triumph over
St. Louis before 6,427 at Conven-
tion Hall.
Gola's outstanding floor play
plus a cold spell by the Hawks
gave the Warriors their victory
after going into the fourth period
with a two point deficit, the cqunt
being 85-83.

the donor, not a member of the
athletic department, never had
handed over the money. The tni-
versity was held responsible, how-
ever, because there was a ques-
.tion whether the offer was with-
-diw .before or after the boy
picked another college.
Nine Schools
The two penalties handed out
yesterday made a total of nine
colleges and universities which
are under NCAA penalties of one
kind or another. Oklahoma's pro-
bation was especially severerbe-.'
cause it will bar the Sooners from
the 1961 Orange Bowl game, un-
less the matter is cleared up, and
NCAA television programs.
The council's action against the
two Oklahoma institutions fol-
lowed a routine report from the
NCAA Television Committee,
which recommended a continua-
tion of present football TV con-
trols with one big exception. In
the past retiring committees have
proposed continuing controls for
one more year. This time the sug-
gestion was that the new com-
SCORES
mittee should try to set up a t
year deal for 1960-61 in order
give the networks and the sp
sors a better break in foot
programming.
The official decision will be n
at the NCAA convention tomor
but if the vote is affirmative
expected, colleges won't be allo
to> make any .commitments
1960-61 until the new plar
adopted. This would rule
among other things, the possib:
that Big Ten colleges might
cept a lucrative offer for indep
dent football and basketball t
casts.

A key to Michigan's hockey for-
tunes this winter may come this
weekend against Michigan Tech,
and Wolverine Coach Al Renfrew
is going all out in preparation for
the two-game set.
Readying his squad for the Hus-
kies, Renfrew has juggled his
three lines somewhat. Slowly be-
coming accustomed to this year's
prosperity (three lines were only
a dream last season), he has"
practiced this week with Al Hin-
negan, Bob White and Steve
Bochen on one line, Pat Cushing
centering a line with Gary Matt-
son and Dale MacDonald, and an
all-sophomore line of Bill Kelly,
Jerry Kolb and Joe Lunghamer.
Renfrew indicated that there
was no particular reason for the
changes except that he felt the
very fact of a change itself might
help his attack.
High Scoring
Even now the Wolverines have
been scoring at a rate of almost
six goals a game. The previous'
lines of Bochen - White - Mattson,
Cushing - MacDonald - Kelly, and
Kolb-Lunghammer-Hinnegan had
kept the scoring pretty evenly
spread out as these lines had
Individuals Set Fast Pace
In Fraternity Hoop Action
0-
tallied 14, 13 and 11 times respec-
tively. But Renfrew feels that the
changes will be "better in the long
run."
Michigan should be at full
strength for the games here to-
morrow and Saturday as Hinne-
gan, twho has been bothered by a
leg injury all season, reports that
it should give him no trouble. Cap-'
tain Bobbie Watt and John Palen-
stein have had bruised ankles this
week, but both will be ready for
the Huskies.
Big Series
This will be a BIG series for the
Wolverines as they have played
fewer gamesthanany other team
in the league. They will be jump-
ing into the fat part of their
schedule against a team that is
third in the league and has al-
ready played some of its toughest
games on the road-Denver and
Colorado College-gaining a split
against each.
In fact every WCHA game this
year will mean more to Michigan
than its opponents since the Wol-
verines play fewer league con-
tests than any other member,. 18.
Most of the teams in the Asso-
ciation play 22-24 games in league
play, and so every win or loss for
Michigan means more, percentage-
wise. Position in the league will be
figured by percentages rather than
the two points for a win and one
point for a tie system commonly
used in hockey.
With this in mind, Renfrew will
be pulling every trick out of his
cap (the latest in a long line of
his disreputable derbies) in -an
attempt to get the Wolverines off
on the right foot.
