THE ATHLETIC missionaries of Michigan are at it again, bringing
the Wolverine sport's word to the heathen, this time forsaking the
Rose Bowl converted Far West for New York City and the Rocky
Mountain area.
Ozzie Cowles cagers, who officially accepted the NCAA bid yester-
dlay, move into the realm of such basketball cannibals as Kentucky,
and Holy Cross, face an almost impossible task; but the fertile fields
of Colorado offer a tempting target for Vic Heylig-r's speedy rink ar-
tists, who are co-favorites with Dartmouth in t heColorado Springs
tourney.
Even the most optimistic Cowles fan can't give the Wolverines
any more than an outside chance to cop the National titb. and
while I'm not a pessimist, I have seen Kentuck. play this season.
They whupped a DePaul club, that was good enough to get a bid to
the National Invitational, on its home floor by a little more than 20
A sli named Barnstable got 19 points that night and All-Ameri-
can Alex Groza got three.
UT EVEN a shellacking can't ruin this basketball season. Michigan
began the season a luke warm choice for the Conference crown.
They wobbled badly in their early non-Conference games, dropping
two games to Iowa State and one to Michigan State.
The rest is history. Michigan is the Big Nine champ and Cowles
could take President Ruthven's job without a dissenting vote from the
student body.
Vic Heyliger's puckst rs earned their shot at the National
crown by taking the majority of games from Minnesota and Michi-
gan Tech, the other two membersof this division. But in addition,
they romped through the most successful season in Wolverine
hockey history, winning 18 against two losses and a tie.
In addition to Dartmouth, the hockey meet will attract Boston
University, Michigan's first round opponent, and Colorado College, the
host school.
rJNHE WOLVERINES have already beaten Colorado twico hi season,
but are strangers to the other two.
But win or lose, the showing of these two teams combined with
that of the football team are enough to make this Michigan's most
successful athletic year.

Hapless MSC Five Buried
As' M'Gets Revenge, 69-28

Spartans Bound
MICH. STATE FGFTPFTP

By ROG GOELZ
It was Michigan ali the way last
night as the Wolverines.rolled to
a 69 to 28 victory over an outclass-
ed Michigan State quintet.
Coach Ozzie Cowles' Big Nine
champions and newly named rep-
resentatives for ihe 4th district in
the NCAA tournament, were nev-
er headed in a contest which saw
the Spartans connect for only two
field goals in the first twenty-nine
minutes of play.
One Goal
The tight man to man defense
of the Wolverines held State to a
mere ten points for the entire first
half with Bill Rapchak scoring
the Spartans only field goal after
thirteen minutes of the period had
passed.
Michigan on the other hand got
off to a fast start behind the pace
setting efforts of Mack Supruno-
wicz who accounted for ten of the
Wolverines' 34 points. Bill Roberts,
who turned in an excellent guard-
ing job on State's Bob Brannum,
chalked up six additional points
for the Wolverines in the same
period.
Both teams went into a slump at
the start of the second half and
neither squad scored for the first
three minutes. Michiganbroke the
deadlock with another of its high
scoring rallies as Suprunowicz and
Harold Morrill began sinking shot
after shot to place the Wolverines
in such a commanding lead that
Coach Cowles started the usual
parade of second stringers.
Rapehak Scores
Michigan State could not find
the range until the first six min-
utes of the second period, belonged
to history. Rapchak scored the
second Spartan field goal on a

trick shot under the hoop. This
placed the first two State goals
exactly thirteen minutes apart
and the two shots represented 42%
of the entire Spartan field goal
totals.
Pete Elliot completed his fifth
straight foul shot as Bob Harrison
and Boyd McCaslin combined to
push the Michigan quintet into a
commanding 60 to 20 point lead
with five minutes remaining in
the game.
Bob Brannum, who was State's
nomination for all American hon-
ors, counted with three foul shots
and reserve guard Donn Joyce
sank two beautiful shots to finish
the Michigan State scoring at
twenty-eight points.
Michigan Unchecked
The Spartans were never able
to throttle the Wolverine scoring
attack and Michigan amassed a
total of 35 points in the final half
to achieve their second highest
point total against the team from
East Lansing which had previously
handed the Cowles quintet one of
its five defeats this year.
In giving Michigan fans a pre-
view of what the squad hopes to
achieve in its initial appearance
at Madison Square Gardens in the
NCAA play-offs, Michigan divided
its individual scoring honors be-
tween three lplayers. Suprunowicz
chalked up 15 points on six field
goals and three fouls while Hal
Morrill counted eleven -markers
and Bill Roberts scored ten points
against the out-classed Spartans.
Bob Brannum was high man for
the visitors with eleven points,
three baskets and seven fouls.

N atators Win
EasilyOver
Northwestern
(Special to The Daily)
EVANSTON, March 6-Mich-
igan's natators wrote a good fin-
ish to a brilliant dual meet sea-
son tonight as they polished off
the Wildcats of Northwestern, 50-
34, which coupled with their 53-
31 win over Michigan State lastl
night, gave them a perfect week-
end.
With most of the team showing
the strain of an all day trip the
Wolverines still managed to sal-
vage six of the nine firsts and win
going away. Bill Heusner of
Northwestern was the only double
winners, as he triumphed in the
220 and 440-yard freestyles.
Michigan's medley relay team
kept their record unmarred as Art
Johnson, Bob Sohl and Bill Ko-
gen churned to a 2:59.3 clocking
to capture the first event. Coach
Matt Mann gave two of his stars,
Harry Holiday and Dick Wein-
berg, well earned rests and kept
them. out of competition.
In the 50-yard freestyle Kogen
took first in :24.5 as Bill Cris-
pin captured second and Wildcat
Bix Russert touched in the third
slot. It was Dave Tittle and Tom
Coates who ran one- two in the
100-yard freestyle with Russert
again taking third. The winning
time was :54.2.
Gil Evans continued to display
championship form as he far out-
distanced Charlie Chelich of
Northwestern to capture the fancy
diving. Evans has shown consid-
erable improvement since the start
of the season and is a definite
threat in the forthcoming Confer-
ence meet. Ralph Trimborn was
third.
Northwestern's Bob Tannehill
edged the Johnsons Art and Ralph
of Michigan in 1:39.6 to take
the 150-yard baclistrolde. Then
Bob Sohl took an easy victory over
Al Craig and teammate Bill Up-
thegrove as he took the 200-yard
breaststroke in 2:20.
Heusner then added the 440-
yard freestyle to his 220 win as
he defeated Matt Mann III and
Gus Stager in 4:52.7. He had prev-
iously beaten Stager and Mann in
the 220 with a 2:12.1 clocking.

By HERB RUSKIN
Climaxing the best season a
Wolverine puck squad ever had,
Michigan's sharp shooting hockey
team downed a scrappy Michigan
Tech outfit 6-5 last night before a
capacity crowd in the Coliseum.
Gordie McMillan was the hero
of the evening, as he pulled the
hat trick, and added an assist to
break his own all-time Wolverine
scoring record, ending the season
with.a total of 59 points. The vic-
tory left the Michigan sextet with
18 wins, one tie and two defeats.
Thrill Packed Last Period
The Engineers almost pulled thej
game out of the fire in the last
period as they tallied two last goals
and pulled their goalie in the last
minute in a desperation attempt
to tie up the thrill-packed contest.
Goals by Jimmy Ruhl at 10:56
and Paul Kariniemi at 12:59 put
the Michigan Tech sextet within
one goal of the leading Wolverines.
Wally Grant had tallied earlier in
the third period, taking Wally Ga-
cek's pass to beat Engineer goalie
at 5:51.
Wolverines Score Early
It didn't take long for Michigan
to break into the scoring column
as Bill Jacobson fired a long shot
past the Tech goalie Jack Noblet
at 0:22 of the initial stanza.
McMillan put the Michigan sex-
tet in front 2-0 at 13:40, as he
took Renfrew's pass and slid the
puck by the crease on a close in
shot, ending the scoring for the
first period..
Gacek Tallies
The newly formed "G" line
stretched the Wolverine lead to
three goals when Gacek shot the
puck in to the nets on passes from
Grant and Ted Greer at 2:56 of
the second stanza.
Michigan went four-up at 6:10,
McMillan scoring on passes from
Renfrew and Jacobson, but the
Engineers moved up fast, with a
goal by Kareniemi at 10:49 from

Fight Breaks Out
The hot tempers that had been
smouldering throughout the first
two periods finally broke loose late
in the second session, when Michi-
gan's Connie Hill and Tech's Marc
Olson were sent off at 16:27 for
roughing. This was quickly fol-
lowed by a fight between Grant
and Ted Olson, which saw them
both sent off for five minutes on
fighting penalty.
MNcMillan's thi'd goal of the ev-
ening gave the Wolverines a 5-2
margin at 17:32, with Renfrew get-
ting the assist. Tech matched this,
however at 18:28 when John Cor-
topassi took Abbie Maki's pass and
beat McDonald, setting the stage
for the exciting third period.

Scoreboard,
IISC Both Off
What a difference three months
make !
That could very easily be the
theme song of the Michigan-
Michigan State basketbal rivalry
this season. The Spartans couldn't
even register on the electric score-
board which went on the blink
midway in the first half.
According to Ben VanAlstyne,
MSC coach, "Since we played
Michigan in December, they've be-
come a polished squad. The addi-
tion of Suprunowicz and Elliott
meant a great deal. When our
boys couldn't make any good
shots, they began trying the im-
possible and consequently their
morale fell fast."
