Quintet Whips Colorado A & M,
Toledo, Colorado U.; Drops One
Santa Clara,
to Stanford
Michigan's defending Big Nine basketball squad rounded out
its pre-conference games during a five game holiday invasion of the
midwest and far west.
The Wolverines won four games, dropping Colorado A&M, 56-37,
Santa Clara, 53-37, Toledo, 46-45, and Colorado University, 47-38,
while losing a 53-51 decision to Stanford's Indians.
COACH ERNIE McCOY was quite pleased over the quintet's
showing and commented on the squad's poise.
"We came from behind in three of the games and in no contest
did the boys show any sign of O
the usual tension found when a
team plays on a strange court,"
McCoy stated and said that he
would be hard put to single out
any outstanding performer for
the Wolverines.
Suprunowjcz, Harrison and Mc-
Caslin paced the Michigan scor-
ing effort, but it was team-work
that paid off in the Toledo, Col-
orado U., and Santa Clara games.
McCOY SINGLED out the
Stanford game as the best of the
vacation trip stating that the
Wolverines bowed to a team that
was up and, for the night, a bet-
ter club.
The Toledo game which saw
the Wolverines edge the Rockets
by one point, 46-45, was termed
by the coach as one of the
roughest and hardest fought
contests that he has witnessed.
Toledo was up for this return
match; McCoy said, and con-
sidered the game with Michigan
as the highlight of the season.
THE WOLVERINE mentor
stated that his team was off form
against the Rockets and had high
praise for the Toledo quintet's
ability.
One of the unfortunate cir-
cumstances was the conduct of
the spectators at the game.
Michigan and Toledo players
were handicapped all during
the game by intense booing
from the stands as they at-
tempted free tosses.
The Wolverines had little
trouble against the Broncos of
Santa Clara, rebounding from
their set back at the hands of the
Stanford squad to take a decisive
53-37 decision.
THAT WAS the only walk away
in the invasion of the West how-
ever, as Michigan was forced to
come from behind to take its vic-
tories from Colorado A&M and
Colorado University.
The Wolverines, proving their
coach's confidence in his squad's
team play, have not any members
among the scoring leaders of the
conference but, and its an im-
portant but in Big Nine circles,
they have taken up where they
left off last season in ranking
among the nation's best defensive
quintets limiting their opponents
to a little over 40 points per
game.

NCAA Seeks
TO Put Limit
On BowlTilts
NEW YORK-P)--College foot-
balt, which has been gorging itself
more and more on after-season
Bowl dessert, may have to tighten
its belt for a skimpier diet.
The National Collegiate Athletic
Association is poking an official
nose into the mushrooming en-
terprise. This could mean'a tight-
er rein on colleges, fewer of the
post-season spectacles.
A SPECIAL NCAA committee
has been making a study of the
multitudinous Bowl games. It is
scheduled to report during the
meeting of college heads this
weekend in San Francisco.
The NCAA decided a year ago
to become a tough papa to its
more than 304 member institu-
tions. It adopted a "sanity code"
to curb high-pressure recruiting
and set itself up for the first
time as a regulatory body.
Some sort of action was urged
strongly last year by a group,
whose mainspring was Coach Tad
Weiman of the University of
Maine.
HE URGED the NCAA to set
up a body to conduct investiga-
tions of Bowl games and pass on
all college applications to partici-
pate.
The special Bowl Committee
made a report to the NCAA,
pointing out how few of the
games were for charity pur-
poses, but made no recommen-
dations at the time.
Around 40 Bowl games were
sandwiched between the end of
the regular campaign and Jan. 1,1
with 20 of these being played on
New Year's Day itself.
Michigan's high flying hockey
squad swept to seven victories and
were held to a single tie by Colo-
rado College in a highly successful
western trip during Christmas hol-
idays.
With the Wolverine's season
record still unblemished by defeat,
the pucksters return to home ice
this week to face Queens Uni-
versity at the coliseum, Friday and
Saturday nights.
DEFEATING THE.University of
Toronto 12-1 in Chicago Decem-
ber 16 the Wolverines returned
to Ann Arbor the following eve-
ning and again beat the Cana-
dians by the score of 6-4. These
twin victories gave the Wovler-
ines the mythical North Amer-
ican championship, and was the
first time the pucksters had ever
scored dual wins over Toronto, the
best of the Canadian college
hockey sextets.
On December 21 the Wolver-
ines faced Colorado College at
Colorado Springs and defeated
the Rocky Mountain represen-
tatives 5-2. Captain Al Renfrew
blasted in three goals for the
hat trick.
Renfrew also starred the next
night when the pucksters again
played Colorado. He scored the
goal in the closing seconds of the
contest which gave the Wolver-
ines a 4-4 tie.
JOURNEYING to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, the Wolverines over-
whelmed North Dakota 8-1 De-
cmber 25. Gordie McMillan and
Wally Grant each contributed a
pair of goals in the Christmas
night rout.
Despite the loss of defense-
man Ross Smith, the Wolverines
poured it on the hapless Nodaks
even further the following night
by the score of 11-4, Wally Ga-
cek and McMillan turned in hat

game Saturday, the pucksters re-

that evening and repeated their

serve their unbeaten record. Ren-
frew and Celley led the Michigan
offense with two goals each. Be-
fore their first encounter with
the Wolverines California was un-
defeated.

While he greeted his returning
group of sunburnt swimmers,,
Matt Mann took some time out to'
say that the Florida vacation trip
was wonderful and that his
swimmers performed excellently
under the two weeks of sunshine.
The back stroke problem which
has been a chief source of worry
for the Wolverine coach got some
promising assistance from the trio
of swimmers who are working for
Harry Holiday's old job.

BERNIE KAHN continued his
fine wcrk, while John Arbuckle
and John Donaldson showed that
they would be hard to keep out
of the line up.
In the annual East-West
swimming meet held to give
the teams a chance to display
their talent in competition, the.
West was an easy winner as the
Big Ten stars showed their heels
to the Easterners, however, sev-
cral of the East's standout
swimmers were not on hand to
give the West any serious com-
petition.
Since the meet is designed to
fit the swimmers present, there
were a number- of unorthodox
events scheduled for the meet.
Breast strok, and back stroke ie-
lays were on tap withI a series of
free style even is ithrown in.
MIChIGAN'S nutaitors did well
placing men ol most of the
winning relay te ims. In the 300
yard medlay rielay( event, Michi-
gan's world climinpionship team of
Dick Weinberg, Harry Holiday
and Bob Sohl swam a dead heat
race with a trio of Big Ten stars.
Bob DeGroot, OSU, Keith Carter,
Purdue, and Garst, Iowa, com-
prised the team that held the
Wolverines to a standstill.
.While vacationing, the
swimming team stayed at the
Coral Sands Hotel in Ft. Laud-
erdale and exercised in the city's
salt water Municipal Pool. A
number of swimming coaches
were on hand to give pointers
to the participants and between
workouts got the latest on
swimming from lecturing
coaches.
With the Big Ten swimming
season creeping up on the varsity.
practice continues in earnest. The
big Michigan season gets under
way in two weeks when the Wol-
verines travel to Purdue, then
there is a long lay off until the
spring semester begins.
