"M' Fourth
Although the basketball season
ended several weeks ago, addi-
tional honors continue to be
heaped upon Michigan's 1947-48
Big Nine cage titlists.
This past week-end Coach Oz-
zie Cowles learned that his boys
"ranked fourth among the nation's
top college teams, according to
the final Converse-Dunkel ratings
recently released.
"The news came as a complete
surprise to me," said Cowles, who
piloted a Dartmouth quintet to
the No. 2 ranking a few years
back.
Kentucky, St. Louis and Holy
Cross finished 1-2-3, respectively,
among the nation's top ten college
teams, the Converse-Dunkel rat-
ings disclosed. This system is de-
signed to present a factual, un-
biased picture of the relative
strength of teams as revealed by a
special scoring correlation method.
Following fourth-place Michi-
gan in the select ten were these
schools; Western Kentucky, North
Carolina State, C.C.N.Y., Illinois,
De Paul, and Baylor.
The Wolverines were feted in
Detroit Monday at a special ban-
quet sponsored by several ardent
fans.
tion with Fred Otto dropping back
to third and Bob Mackay will
probably continue to hold down
the number six spot that he took
over against Notre Dame.
Facing Paton in the number
one position for Kalamazoo will
be Jack Sunderland while Art
Leighton son of the famous
tennis coach will hold down the
second spot and Nick Beresky
will be at No. 3 for the Kazoos.
Jack Hersh will continue at
No. 4 for Michigan against Vic
Braden, Gordie Naugle who has
taken over Dick Lincoln's No. 5
position will be up against Kala-
mazoo's Mary Martin and Mackay
will face Ax Jemal.
Doubles play will see Paton
and Mikulich teaming up for
the Wolverines against Leigh-
ton and Beresky at No. 1, Hersh
and Otto facing Sunderland
and Martin while Lincoln and
Naugle pair up against Kala-
mazoo's Braden and Bob Stowe.
It was in winning two out of
three doubles matches that Illi -
nois .was able to squeeze out
Kalamazoo team. It was the third
year in succession that the Ka-
zoos had fallen to the Illini by
a 5-4 score.
I-M NEWS
The Turks defeated the Arabs,
4-1, in an International Center
soccer game Sunday, May 2. Both
teams were previously undefeated,
and the winner stands a good
chance of annexing the Interna-
tional Students Association soccer
trophy.
The game started slowly and
neither team was able to score for
the first 40 minutes. Then Soli
Bencuya and Rasin Tek tallied
for the Turks to give them a 2-0
lead at the half.
The second half was played in a
continuous rainstorm, Besin Tan
and Nick Kamaryotis scored two
more for the Turks and the Arabs'
flashy outside left wing, Tashak,
scored his team's only goal.
On May 8 the Indians will play
the Latin Americans in a game
beginning at 1:15 p.m. On May 9
the Chinese will meet the Arabs
at 1:15 p.m. and the Turks will
face the Indians at 3:15 p.m.'

Charley Hoyt may return to
Michigan's head track coach
position which he left eight years
ago to lead Yale University cin-
dermen.
Athletic Director Fritz Crisler
talked with the 58 year old re-
tired coach in Chicago last week.
"And although we are not to-
gether on the job," Crisler said,
"we went over the ground and I
expect to see him again this
week."
Ken Doherty, at that time
freshman track coach took over
the mentorship when Hoyt left
for Yale in June, 1939.
If Hoyt comes out of retirement
to take the post, he will in turn

Hoyt came to Michigan in
1923 as trainer and freshman
track coach. He moved into the
top track position when Steve
Farrell retired seven years later.
He stayed at Michigan through
the nine year period from 1930
to 1939.
Yale University obviously at-
tracted by Hoyt's record of 13
Big Nine Titles in 18 indoor and
outdoor meets, lured him away
from Michigan.
He watched Eli's cinder paths
for two 5ears, after which he en-
tered the service. He retired to
his farm in Woolstock, Iowa in
1945.
RUMORS ARE FLYING --
Charlie Hoyt, form2r University
of Michigan track coach, has
been approached by Athletic
Director Fritz Crisler as a pos-
sible successor to the track po-
sition left vacant by Ken Doh-
erty's resignation.

It was a good wind that blew
the Michigan dinghies, captained
by Bob Ford and Ray Kaufman,
straight to the winning port of
Whitmore Lake over the weekend.
With a total of 1171/2 points,
the two Wolverine skippers piloted
their crafts to seven wins out of
eighteen races over the three-
quarters -,of-a - mile t rfi angular
course. The crews were divided
into divisions, Class A and Class
B.
Since there were only eight
boats available, the Class B group
sailed each time a Class A race
was over. And to even things up
among the schools, the dinghies
alternatedthroughout the regatta.
In the second race Sunday,
Class A skipper Kaufman and his
crew, Martha Armstrong, brought
home the No. 2 boat with lots of

Immediately after they docked,
