33 Colleges Sending
TopiSwimmers Here
'What a meet this is going to
be!"
That's what Matt Mann en-
thusiastically terms the NCAA
swimming meet to be held in the
Michigan pool this Thursday Fri-
day and Saturday.
From Bowdoin, Southern Cali-
fornia, Wyoming, Texas A. & M.
and schools all over the country,
more than 175 swimmers from 33
colleges will pour into Ann Arbor
to compete for the 11 national col-
legiate individual championships
that go on the block.
For the Wolverines the three
day affair will mean a shot at
the NCAA title which has elud-
ed them since 1941. Last year
marked their sixth consecutive
second place in the national
tourney when they finished a
distant (66-39) second to OSU-.
Since 1927 the Wolverines have
compiled an amazing record in
NCAA meets. Over the 21 year pe-
riod the natators have put away
12 firsts and 9 seconds. From 1934
to 1941 Michigan was invincible
capturing 8 straight national
titles.
Harry Holiday, Big Nine and
NCAA backstroke champion,
will have to move fast to re-
tain his title, while Dick Wein-
berg will face a field of about
110 challengers for the crown he
wears in the 50 and 100 yard
sprint events.
In the 300 yard medley relay,
Michigan's trio, holder of the
world's record, is expected to hold
onto the crown it earned last year.

Some nights you've got it and
some nights you haven't.
This ancient basketball proverb
seems as good a way as any for
explaining why Michigan lost by
18 points to Holy Cross and then
trounced Columbia (who had
beaten H.C. earlier in the season)
by 17 points two nights later.
That is if an explanation is nec-
essary. For those readers who
wonder about the whys and
wherefores of such things, here
are sode sideline observations that
came off the Garden court last
week end ...
Holy Cross won for two rea-
sons:
, (1) They controlled the back-
boards. Why this should have
been so since they gave away al-
most 2 inches per man to the
taller Wolverines is hard to ex-
plain but most agreed that having
6 ft., 7 inch Bill Roberts in the
back court shooting longs, didn't
help the Maize and Blue rebound
cause any.
(2) They had poise. Michigan
was just plain scared. Whether
it was the big crowd or the im-
portance of the occasion, the
Wolverines fell apart under the
terrific pressure of the game in
the second half and lost confi-
dence in their own ability to cope
with the tricky Crusader ball han-
dling.
Saturday night it was a differ-
ent story. Playing under no pres-
sure other than the prospect of
losing in the Consolation bracket,
the Wolverines relaxed and played
more of the steady kind of ball
that won them a Big Nine cham-
pionship . . .
Suprunowicz Impresses
The Big City cage patrons were
more than impressed with Mack
Suprunowicz who scored 28 points
in the twogames. In the second
half of the Columbia game he
looked like the tournament's best
player as he broke into the clear
three times in 212 minutes on
pass interceptions to dribble in for
dog shots all by himself.
Had an All-Tournament team
been picked, Mack probably
would have been on it along with
George Kaftan of Holy Cross and
Kentucky's terrific trio of Wah
Wah Jones, Alex Groza and Ralph
Beard.
Cousy, Budko Cold
Bob Cousy (Holy Cross) and
Wally Budko (Columbia) might
have made it on the strength of
their first night's performances
but both had terrible nights Sat-
urday. Cousy was held to a scant
five points while Michigan's Don
McIntosh held Budko to three field
goals and three free throws.
Some nights you've got it, some
nights you haven't.

By B. S. BROWN
BOSTON COLLEGE, Dartmouth
University, thin air and un-
usually close officiating presented
the Michigan hockey team with
the greatest challenge of its his-
tory last week-end at the Broad-
moor Ice Palace in Colorado
Springs, but Vic Heyliger's lads
cemented their claim to national
supremacy by doggedly fighting
through all obstacles and coming
out with the first NCAA puck
crown.
The Wolverine pucksters did it
the hard way on both nights.
Trailing the Eagles twice during
the game, Michigan roared back
to overtake the Bostonians and
finally win out in the overtime
on two goals by Wally Gacek.
Connie Hill, who played stellar
defense inabothBmeetings, kept
the Maize and Blue in the run-
ning until the extra frame with
three long shots past the AP
All-Star goalie, Bennie Burke.
It was the offense that won
the contest, but it was the de-
fense that saved it. Coach John
Kelley of the Chestnut Hill
School pulled his goalie in the
last minute of the third period
and his strategy worked as the
Bostonians sank the tying goal.
But in the ten minutes over-
time, the officials' whistles gave
B.C. a two man advantage over
Michigan from 3:57 to 8:02, and a
one man edge until 9:02. It wa
then that the Wolverines played
the finest defensive hockey of th
season.
Jack McDonald, Ross Smith
who was impassable against both
eastern schools, Wally Grant, Ted
Greer, Al Renfrew and Conni
Hill held the Eagles in check
amazing the 2,700 crazily cheer
ing onlookers.
IF THE MICHIGAN team playe
great hockey in the extra stanza
on Friday, then its performanc
on the following night against th
Indians was nothing short of un
believable. Again laboring unde
the one and two man disadvan
tage because of the referees
whistles (the Wolverines had 1
minutes of penalties), the defens
stopped the easterners cold.
Both games came up with
confusion unrestricted which
held up play for almost an hour.
In the 'Dartmouth fray, action
was halted for twenty minutes
when the timer grew tired of
watching Michigan men tread
in and out of the sinners' box
and blew his whistle just as
Gordie McMillan was scoring
the tying goal.
An argument ensued as to th
validity of the score and it wa
finally settled by the NCAA Rule
Committee in favor of the Wol
verines.
Michigan can now rightfully la
claim to the International hocke
crown. Last week, the Toronto si:
announced that the title wa
theirs, but the Canadians evident
ly forgot two games with th
Wolverines on December 18 an
19.
Michigan won the first, 3-2, an
