TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1949 THE MICHIGvANDAILY PAGE THRE BUDLLSESSION by b. s. brown, sports editor MY APOLOGIES to Newt Loken, Wolverine gymnast coach, who has a legitimate gripe. In my last column, I mentioned that, ex- cept for football and hockey, none of the Michigan sports teams were having the kind of success usually attributed to U. of M. aggre- gations. "Our boys have come through with five wins in the six meets we've had this year," Newt said yesterday, "and if that record isn't in the Michigan tradition, I don't know what is." Six out of six would have been more like it, Newt, but there's no arguing that your laddies have done right fine by them- selves. IT'LL BE A FUNNY SORT of a deal when the Conference schools -with the exception of Northwestern and Purdue, who are sitting it out this season-send their gym teams here in two weeks to compete in the Big Nine Championships. About the closest analogy would be found in the Michigan-Minnesota basketball games this year, when Ozzie Cowles turned the tables on the team he had coached just one season ago. Minnesota is the school to beat. The Gophers have won the Conference title two years running and will be out to retain the crown come March 26 at the I-M Building. Though Newt never coached at the Northland school, he competed under the Minnesota colors in his college days and he now has two brothers on the Gopher squad. NEWT IS MIGHTY PROUD of his team's accomplishments. Part of his pride was exhibited when he showed the team off during the half-times of two of the Michigan basketball games. And the genial mentor is just as proud of the preparations he's making for the Championships. He was as busy as a corporation executive yesterday, getting ready for the big shindig. There were publicity shots to ok, posters to send to the printers, pieces of equipment to check, bleachers to arrange for and scoreboards to be made. Newt has it all planned, * right down to the type music that will be played for the added pleasure of the onlookers. With all that, Newt still finds time to prime his lads for the forthcoming meet with Wisconsin. The Badgers come to town Satur- day for the final dual meet of the 1949 season and it should' be a dilly. Just about any show the gymnasts put on its a worthwhile sight.

Chicago has, taken eight Big Nine titles since the sport was first recognized by. the Conference in 1926. . . . The Illini has grabbed the crown on five occasions and the Gophers have come through four times. Last year was the first time a Conference meet was held since 1942. . Michigan has never before been host at the championships.

Mann doesn't like long winning streaks . . . says it creates too much pressure. MANN DID LIKE the perform- ance of his son, Matt III,though. *.. Matt's 2:09.4 in the 220 free style clipped .07 sec off his best previous time . . . before this sea- zon he had never broken 2:11. . Matt also turned in a fine third leg on the now historic 'disqualified' 400-yard relay . .. it's too badhe can't be used in the relay at the NCAA meet this weekend. General feeling of the swim- mers is that they were 'out- judged' at Iowa . . . they don't think Mann jumped too soon on his leg of the relay . .. and they can't see what difference it would have made anyhow with the Wolverines winning by a solid five yards ... they are even more positive that Dick Wein- berg was the winner in the 50-yd. dash .. but theajudges didn't agree, and Iowa had its first duel meet win over Michi- gan in history.

"We never got going." * 'S..5 FIGHTING AN uphill battle in the second half against Frisco, Utah pulled into the lead, 63-62. on Verin Gardner's driving layup and the big clock said only two minutes remained. With time running out, Utah waived three foul shots in the San Francisco stole the ball with ten seconds remaining and Kusara missed a shot from the side of the basket. Then there was a jump ball and Frisco got it on the tap. The ball was passed to Kusara about 30 .eet out and he took dead aim. The ball went through the mesh with- out hitting the rim. Consolation NEW YORK-(P)-Kentucky's clawed Wildcats, their hopes of a double tournament sweep rudely jolted by Loyola of Chicago, set their sights last night on the NCAA Championship. * * * KENTUCKY WILL face high- scoring Villanova in the Eastern NCAA Playoffs in Madison Square Garden, March 21. Illinois, the Big Nine Champion, and Yale, the Ivy League winner, will clash in the opening game of the Monday doubleheader. The two winners will meet Tues- day. Then the Eastern Champion will meet the survivor of the West- ern Tournament in Seattle, March 26. The Western NCAA Playoffs will be staged in Kansas City, March 18-19. {l DTTOII - NOWT: T1his is. the sec- ond( of three art idclealing wiith [he teams in the 1919 NCAA hockey tour- nament.) By HERB RUSKIN If the Wolverines are to make a repeat performance and bring home the NCAA hockey bacon, they'll have to get by one of the Hockey powers of the east, the perennially strong Dartmouth In- dians. Michigan meets the Dartmouth sextet in the opening game of the tournament, Thursday, March 17, and the Maize and Blue can ex- pect a lot of trouble from the easterners. * * * WITH THE added benefit of an extra year's experience, Dart- mouth has practically the same team that advanced to the finals of last season's tourney, only to go down fighting before a red-hot Michigan sextet, 8-4. Coach Eddie Jeremiah has taken four outstanding seniors from last year's squad, mixed them with some good sopho- more prospects and came up with another link in Dart- mouth's long line of fine teams. The Indians have a 15-4 record so far this season, boasting vic- tories over Boston College, Har- vard, McGill, Princeton and Yale. ** * WITH TWO of thp highest scor- ers in collegiate hockey circles, Dartmouth has put the emphasis on offense, but has a strong de- fense and an excellent goalie. The Riley brothers. Joe and Bill, give the Indians a one-two punch that is hard to beat. Joe leads the team with 41 goals while Bill isn't very far behind with 32 tallies to his credit. These are the men that the Michigan defense will have to stop. JOE WAS picked as the out- standing player in last year's tournament and was a member of the AAU Olympic hockey team that went to Switzerland, but did not play. On the other hand, Bill has been named to just about every hockey "all" team that has come out in recent years. He cap- tained last year's team and holds the Dartmouth scoring record with 225 points. In goal for Dartmouth will be captain DickrDesmond, one of the finest amateur goal-tenders in the United States. Quick as a cat, he may give the Michigan forwards a lot of trouble come Thursday night.

Walt Noon of Adams attempts to steal the ball from Rotsko, as Bill Brenton of Fletcher, Mark Ardis, who paced the winners with 19 points, and Ted Solotaroff of Adams look on.

Commodore Jim Rukin, com- manding a band of buccaneers reminiscent of Captain Kidd's swashbuckling pirates, has estab- lished the Wolverine Sailing Club's cIandestine port in a virtual Sar- gasso Sea-the engine arch. IT IS FROM this vantage point that 'the haughty captain and his lieutenants waylay their prospective crew by cajoling the wayward students into signing on for a cruise.
