y t, NDAT, T ,TIPTJADY , 1 ~ THE MICITIWAN DAILY p -- OMM BUL. SESSION by b. s. brown, sports editor THE BIG-WIGS in the Michigan athletic department have some bridge time on their hands before they begin discussing director Crisler's proposals for expansion of the University athletic facilities. Fritz is in Boston at present discussing grid rule changes at a meeting of the collegiate football mentors, but he'll be back in Ann Arbor any day now and the big talks will get underway. The Board in Control of Inter-Collegiate Athletics doesn't have far to look if they are interested in bettering the athletic plants on campus. Number one on the agenda should be the antiquated hockey rink. Vic ileylinger, the man who has made collegiate hockey- throughout the United States as well as in Michigan-a big-time sport deserves a better deal than he has been getting from the Ann Arbor institution. With the first national championship in the ice sport as one of his major accomplishments, Heylinger is constantly striving to make the spectator sport-and you can't call it anything but-pay off at Michigan, but excluding a top-notch club, he has nothing at all to work with. There is tremendous interest in hockey in these parts and a puny, dilapidated rink which only seats 1200 is a crime, especially when you consider the teams Vic has been turning out since he took over as ice pilot a few years back. The consistent sell-outs indicate that hockey reigns supreme at Michigan during the winter months. Coliseum Makes Jericho Mild But with all the interest, and the fact that the fans who want to see the games ought to be given some consideration, there is another important point. I've called the Coliseum dilapidated; that is't the half of it. One of these days the joint is going to make like the walls of Jericho. The ceiling in the dressing room has already started the downward journey. There, are openings in the walls which, if they get any wider, will solve another problem-ventilation. After the first period, the circulation of air is so poor a for begins rolling in, and by the middle frame, it's "ceiling zero." And that's not all. Certainly the appeal of hockey would be greatly increased if the fans didn't have to suffer through three hours of refrigeration. The rink is consistently 10 degrees lower than on the outside and since the fans start arriving at the Coli- seum one hour before the opening whistle (in order to assure themselves of a seat), the "deep freeze" certainly isn't conducive to even the rabid followers. And then there's the little matter of the sieve-like roof. During several of the contests last year, the smart onlookers had provided themselves with umbrellas to shed off the downpour from the melting snow on the roof. And the water that falls ruins the ice-the 'best around-by causing ruts which are hazardous to the players. The fans deserve a break and so do the players. Present plans call for the building of a new field house which would house facilities for hockey and basketball with a seating arrangement of 15,000 for hockey and 16,500 for the cage contests. Other Schools Look to Needs Marquette doesn't even have a varsity hockey team (the Golden Avalanche will enter competition next year) but the Milwaukee school has already completed a 6,000 seat arena. Michigan State is in the same boat. The Spartans will have a varsity aggregation next year for the first time and they, too, have a 6,000 seat rink already com- pleted. Minnesota, Michigan's big rival on the ice, is now building a new rink with a tremendously increased seating capacity. The Goph- ers are also enlarging the field house to hold 20,000 fans (in spite of the reported dislike for Ozzie Cowles' braid of ball.) The Board will be meeting any day now, and when the mem- bers discuss Crisler's recommendations, I hope they take into serious consideration all the factors which demand the building of a new rink or a combined field house. It won't be long before hockey is a major sport in the Conference. Wisconsin and Illinois have indicated that hockey will soon be re- established, which means that there will be at least five Big Ten schools represented, wth the probability that the others will follow suit. And It'll Bring in the Shekels Michigan couldn't lose with a combination hockey-basketball field house. The recreational facilities for pleasure skaters would be greatly improved and bring an added revenue to the athletic fund; track, tennis, wrestling, boxing, gymnastics, and ice carnivals could be held at the field house and, just as an added thought, roller skating for the students could be arranged for with the new set-up. The Wolverines could even play host to the National Collegiate Athletic Association hockey tourney (and that would really make the all- powerful shekels roll in). So everybody gains; no one loses. Hockey would be taken care of; so would basketball; so would a lot of the other sports. I hope the Board does right by everyone, especially Heyliger and the hockey fans. It's about time they got a break. LIT Downs Jy Cagers, 59 Nodak (oach Praises Play Of M' Sextet By HERB RUSKIN "Michigan has the best hockey team we have playedin our two years of hockey and should have no trouble going through and win- ning the National Championship." This is on the authority of North Dakota coach Don Norman who had nothing but praise for Michigan's performances in beat- ing his Nodak squad twice over the weekend. Nordan, who in his two season's of coaching at North Dakota, has sent his team against most of the hockey powers in the country, continued by comparing the Wol- verines to Minnesota. "The two teams don't even belong in the same rink and Michigan should beat them," he said. He had special praise for the Maize and Blue's job of Friday when they mowed down the No- daks, 14-7, saying that nothing short of a miracle could have stopped the-Wolverines that night. "THEY HAD everything, accur- ate passing, good stickhandling, SPORTS PRES HOLMES Night Editor and a scoring punch, what more could you ask," he concluded. North Dakota acted as a tune- up game for the Wolverines who now go into the thick of the fight for the mid-western bid to the National Championship tourney in March. They received some help from Michigan Tech Saturday night, when the Husky's, swamped Minnesota 12-4. As things stand right now, Michigan and Minnesota have each lost one game, both to Michi- gan Tech, while Tech has lost four times, once to the Wolverines and three times to the Gophers. The Wolverines journey to Min- neapolis this weekend for a duo of games with their arch rivals, Minnesota. Last year, Michigan defeated the Gophers three times in their four game series. Then the Gophers return to Ann Arbor to wind up the year's work and Michigan Tech closes the season with two games on March 4th and 5th. Boilermakers Down Badgers LAFAYETTE, Ind. - (P) - Pur- due's Boilermakers extended their iasketball winning streak to five games last night with a 53-38 vic- tory over Wisconsin.

It was the Bills' second defeat in 18 games.

Saturday night Michigan fans not only saw some close races but also some remarkable perform- ances by Wolverine natators. DICK WEINBERG'S times. in the 50 and 100-yard free style events were excellent, Matt Mann III swam one of the finest races of his career to win going away in the 440, and the 400 yard relay team turned in an excellent job in the final event. This year's Big Nine Cham- pionships will take place in a short pool similar to that the Wolverines are used to while last year they were run off in a long pool. Since last year's NCAA Cham- pionships were run off here and these two individual events were won by Big Nine teams and the relay by MSC a comparison of II this year's early times and the best ime the collegiates could do last spring - -- is in order.

A minute later, however, it started all over again when the ball was given to Michigan after an Indiana player had been caught traveling. But it was nowhere near as bad as it had been earlier, and play was able to go on without inter- ruption. JUST 10 SECONDS later center Leo VanderKuy hooked a two- pointer, and Mack Suprunowicz caged his last fielder of the night after another half minute had gone, and the crowd was thro':2h with its verbal castigation for the night. But there was ample oppor- tunity for the fans to cheer later on. With eight minutes to go and the score 45-30 against the Red and White, the Hoosiers' fine soph forward, Bill Toshaff, got hot. Within two minutes, he sank a basket and a pair of free throws, saw center Tom Schwartz drop one in, and then netted another to close the gap to seven points. But it turned out to be too late as far as Indiana was con-' cerned. . Although there were still over three and a half minutes to be played, the Hoosiers couldn't close the gap as Michigan matched them point for point. ,et a new pool record as he cov- ered the course in :22.8, five tenths of a second better than last year's NCAA mark.

HIS DONATION almost hit a high school spectator sitting at the "ringside," but, fortunately, it missed and went onto the court. In the meantime, other fans had taken the hint, and the pennies began to come from all sides. Obviously, the teams couldn't' play under such conditions, so the Indiana cheerleaders ran out onto the center of the court, but there was no visible effect.
