THLE MICHIGAN iiATLY t PRESS PASSES -By BuD BENJAMIN - Land Of Milk And Honey- MATT MANN is singing about the warm breezes, deep sea fishing trips, dog races, a 50 meter pool, sun- burn, and palm trees. He's 1,500 miles away from this frigid com- munity, basking in sunny Florida, the land that Steve Hannigan made fa- mous by planting chorus girls and growing pictures.' "Well, it won't be long now," chortles Matt. "We're leaving Friday, and just lead me to that sunshine." Mann and his crew of 25 swimmers are Florida bound for their fourth annual trip. They'll head for Fort Lauderdale, a warm sun, palm trees -boys, it's got me. They "travel by automobile, these fortunate sun-seekers, with three days allotted to drive there nd a day and a half to return. Wy the difference?

The Amphitrite is a former battle ship which was used to guard New York harbor during the war. After the mass mania was over they sent the boat to Fort Lau- derdale. It was towed into the la- goon, a superstructure was built up- on it, and it became a first class hotel. * "And we get special rates," adds Matt. ;Don't start thinking that our bene- ficient athletic associaion is pro- viding this trip. Gentlemen, you don't know our athletic association. Each swimmer pays his own way and the Christmas rendezvous costs him ex- actly 40 simoleins. Try that on your travel agency some time. ;The boys arent making this magni-' ficent excursion for ordinary pur- poses. You don't have to be a swim- mer to do that. In Florida, all you have to do is be a man, and you are immediately a superman. The fem- inies outnumber the masculines con- siderably. - Matt Mann and Co. are embarking on a training trip. They'll swim in a superb 50 meter pool at Fort Lau- derdale, and that's an important aspect of the trip. You see the Olyin- pic pool is 50 meters, and this gives the natators an opportunity to time themhselves under the type of condi- tions they've, been dreaming about- Olyppic conditions. What beneficial effects does the trip have? "Well," sighs Matt, brushing a aoth off his swimming trunks, "there are many. Its' a great conditioner. The boys get out there in that sun, and It does things for them. Then, too, it gives us a line on certain of our competitors. There are 300 swim- mers and 50 coaches at Fort Lauderdale during Christmas, and the ones we don't see, we hear about. "It gives the' boys a look at some of the best swimmers in the c untry. They go down there thinking these newspaper stars are unbeatable but they find out they're only swimmers. "The coaches have a lot of meet- ings and talk things over. We take the boys down to Miami and show them around-dog races, golf tourna- ments, horse races, and other things. The coaches have a big deep sea fishing trip, and if they don't want to a o, they can Pend one of the boys." -The entire Mann family will make the trip, as always, and there'll be a fleet of cars trailing them down. Prof. Elmore Pettyjohn will drive down a few of the boys, Prof. Waldo Abbott and family will be in line, Bill Cor- stock, son of the ex-governor, will hold one of the wheels as will Bill Holmes, Jim Welch's dad, and Matt himself.

Chi Psi, finishing second last year, was nosed out of this spot but ended up in the show position one point be- hind the leaders. Zeta Beta Tau came next with a total of 12 tallies. Olds Pins McKay Going into the final event Psi U's hopes for a share of the title depend- ed on a victory by Fred Olds The varsity gridder responded in noble fashion by pinning Neil McKay of Chi Psi after three minutes of the main bout. On Monday night Ralph Loeff of Zeta Beta Tau won a decision over Cy Rudolph of Sigma Alpha Mu in the 118 pound class. Also at that time in the 175 pound division Tom Root pinned Russ Pratt of Sigma Phi Epsi- lon in an overtime period. Phil Whittemore, retained his 125 pound championship for the third straight year when he defeated Jack Cohen of Zeta Beta Tau. At 135 pounds Kirk Martin of Chi Psi had little trouble in pinning Art Schoen- berg of Zeta Beta Tau.r Chapman Wins Hard Bout g In the most exciting bout of thes evening Jack Chapman of Psi Ub staved off a final drive of Sam Root, a Phi Delt, to come out with a nar-a row victory.

Coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan's third team, directed by scout Ray Courtright, imperson- ated the South Bend boys and gave the Varsity a look at the attack they must face in some 36 hours. With the roles of forwards Sadow- ski and Riska being played by Bob Palmer and Freddie Trosko, the Notre Dame offense broke through for a few scores but found the going rath- er tough. Badgers Defeat Irish The boys hope they can do the same thing tomorrow and are taking some consolation from the fact that Wisconsin managed to stop the Irish last Saturday by a 45-39 score. Coach Ray Courtright, who scouted that game, is not so optimistic however. "Notre Dame got off to a bad start or they would have beaten Wiscon- sin," he asserts. "They have a very good team." "Although he wasn't in the best condition, I don't think I've seen a better guard than Brown." He was- referring to Earl Brown, captain of the team, a Benton Harbor product and All-American performer. "Riska and Sadowski are fine play- ers," he went on. "It ought to be a swell game." Strong Defense Needed The fact that the tight Wisconsin defense turned the tide of victory their way indicates that Michigan may profit by the same advantage. In the Michigan State game, the Wolverine defense was especially good and if it can smother the Irish for- wards tomorrow Coach Oosterbaan might ring up victory number two. In a fast 30 minute scrimmage yes- terday, Capt. Leo Beebe led the regu- lars to a 40 to 29 triumph over the Cooke Makes Single Tally As Hillberg Gets Two; James Stars In Net CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 13 -(IP)- The University of Michigan hockey1 team, a Co-champion in the Big Ten last season defeated Western Reserve1 University's Red Cats of the Ohio- Penn Intercollegiate League 3 to 1 in an intersectional game at the Cleve-1 land Arena here tonight. A near capacity crowd of 7,500 was on hand for the contest. Les Hilberg, captain and defense- man, was the big noise for the Wol- verines, scoring two of his team's goals and getting an assist on the other. Reserve played a great defensive game to hold the Wolverines scoreless in the opening period. Chadwick and Everett Doran featured with some pretty stick work. ,Hillberg Scores Soon after the second session got under way Les Hilberg broke loose and the Wolverines scored twice. Midway in the period Hillberg made a solo dash from the center of the ice and feinting goalie Bill Berkeley out of position, shoved in the rubber for the first score of the game. The time 5:36. Five minutes later Les Hillberg, Al Chadwick and George Cooke swept up the ice from the Wolverine de- fense zone, Hillberg passing to Chad- wick who passed to Cooke in front of the goal and the latter made a beau- tiful shot for the second marker of; the game. The time was 10:31. Hillberg Again Hillberg scored again in- the open- ing minutes of the third period. Tak- ing the puck off the boards about forty yards out, he skated around two Red Cat defense men and driving at an angle whipped home a lightning shot past Bill Berkeley, who was caught cold. The time was 3:27. A few minutes later the Red Cats caught the men of Michigan napping and three of them swept up to the Michigan goal. James made a great save stopping Forward's bid but Polit- zer hammered the rebound over the prostrate goalie for Reserve's only score. The time was 6:27. Les Hillberg, George Cooke and goalie Spike James stood out for Michigan, the latter making several stops that bordered on the sensa- tional. Bud Forward did best for Reserve. third string squad which was appar- ently out for blood. Leo chalked up 14 points, scoring seven times on short shots and passing accurately. Eddie Thomas had 12 at the other guard position and Jim Rae connected for 10. For the opposition, big Al Kelso was the standout, scoring 12 points, twice as many as George Ruehle his nearest competitor. The game was a rough and tumble affair with both sides fighting for the ball from the start. Little Charley Pink was on the floor at least a half dozen times. The second team of Mike Sofiak, Herb Brogan, John Nicholson, Milo Sukup and Russ Dobson took on the fourth string outfit to wind up the drill. ball team made a trip to the west coast during Christmas vacation and met the University of Washington in a three game series. Center John Gee suffered a broken nose in the first contest and to fill his place, Coach Cappon shifted guard Matt Patanelli to the pivot post. That gave a raw rookie sophomore by the name of Beebe his first real shot at big time basketball. "I was scared to death," he admits now, "but those two games were my greatest thrill. We won both in overtime." Now A Captain Today Leo Beebe is captain of the Michigan team, a fine guard, a good shot, a hard fighter, and above all'a great guy. Last season he played more than any Wolverine except John Townsend and was third in -coring ranking behind Townsend and renter Jim Rae. With his ultimate aim for a coach-' ing job always in the back of his mind, "Beeb" is a keen student of the game and it's interesting to hear his reactions to the new Michigan style of attack after having played HOCKEY SUMMARIES "I like the fast break offense for two reasons." he says. "In the first place, it is flexible and gives the boys more of a chance to show what they can do. Take a fellow like Eddie Thomas, he's fast, and he was some- what bound by the old set play sys- tem. Also, it makes it tougher for an opposing team scout to get much information except on the work of the individual players. "Bennie is doing a good job with the team. One thing I like, and perhaps you've noticed it, is that he doesn't try to tell us just what to do every time we get the ball. He lets us think for ourselves. In the State game we just worked the ball down the floor and watched for an opening to pass. It may have produced, some sloppy ball handling but it also produced some baskets. Bennie Worried "You know," he grinned, "That's the first time I ever saw Bennie ner- vous. Before that game, he couldn't even eat. He sure wanted to win that one." "How far will this team go, Leo?" he was asked. "They'll go just as far as the ma- terial develops," came the reply.
