Dick Button has done it again. . . . The Englewood, N.J., world's figure skating champ successfully defended his title in Paris yesterday, exhibiting more of the grace which has rated him the nod by many experts as the greatest figure skater of all time.....I wouldn't have mentioned it, except he's a home town boy... . Jimmy Grogan, Berkeley, Calif., placed fourth behind Dick... I met Jimmy out at Colorado Springs, Colo., last year just before the National Championships.....He looked like a champ then. ... One of the figure skaters (a female) told me, "Jimmy's a shrimp, but really a terrific skater. . . ." With the showing he made, there's no denying it.... Cold War' Veeck Has His Troubles Glenn Davis, Mr. Outside of Army's Touchdown Twins, may return to West Point next year as a freshman football coach. . . Davis is now in Korea on occupation duty. . . . Baseball impresario Bill Veeck is certainly having a great time for himself these days... He's outdoing Uncle Sam and the Russian Bear, waging two "cold wars" simultaneously. . . . One with the New York Yanks and the other with the Cleveland City Council. . . . It seems the Bombers don't like the way he's picking up possibilities from the minors.... And the council feels the' city deserves more rental for the huge Municipal Stadium.... Bobby Feller has secured a Veterans Administration certifi- calte of eligibility for a course in advanced flight training... . Bob won't get any subsistence allowance, however, since there is a ceiling on the total of a veteran's earnings. . . . But he will get between $300 and $500 for the tuition. . . .

Sticks and Stones-30 Yards Many thanks to Indiana University for this next yarn. . . . It seems there was a Big Six grid team not so long ago that was notorious for its holding. ...The players and the team rooters, however, never admitted that there was any infraction of the rules. . . . Crime neve pays, and one day the old adage caught up with this team. . . . As the umpire counted off the 15 yards, the captain of the team walked behind him shouting, "You stink. . ." The official kept on walking. ... He stepped off 30 yards in all, leaving the amazed captain standing 15 yards back.... When he placed the ball on the ground, the ump turned around and snapped, "How do I smell from here?" Herb Barten, Michigan's Olympic runner, believes Don Gehrmann, the Wisconsin miler, will equal or surpass the four-minute mile, but not this year. . . .

Paced by 6-ft. 3-in. Jim Scala from Chicago and forward Tom Tiernan of Kankakee, Ill., each of whom dropped in ten points, the freshmen controlled the back- boards throughout the game, leading 27-14 at the half. Close behind the top two was Dick Frame, holding down a guard berth, scoring seven points as did Bill Eggenberger, top scor- er for J. T. White's jayvee quin- tet. SCALA AND TIERNAN have both been playing sparkling ball for the frosh as has Dick Frame, transfer from Jackson Jr. Col- lege, and have been spotted for further notice next year when they become eligible for Varsity competition. Coach Strack has been play- ing Scala at forward, center and guard, particularly the guard position because Varsity Men- tor Ernie McCoy wanted him ready to work into that spot next year. NOT TO BE far outdone by these top three were Bob Ding- man or Don Gerstner, both at forward. Switching at center with Scala was Irv Stenn, also scoringj four points. Playing good ball at the other guard post was Bill Putish, al- ternating with Warren Gast,' Jim Cape and Jim Doyle. Steady men for the jayvees were Jerry Burns and Bud Royce, at forwards, scoring four and five' points respectively. At center John Anderson and at guard Alex Mar- tin counted for four each and switched off with Bill Blumenthal, Pinkin, Raymond and Bailey.

Realizing his greatest ambition by qualifying for the 400 and 1500 In part them By HERB RUSKIN an attempt to bring of the pelt that will to Colorado as the back send mid- western representative to the NCAA hockey tourney, Michigan's power-packed sextet invades the northern lair of the Golden Goph- ers tonight in the first of a two game series. The Wolverines find themselves cast in the role of favorites and. are attempting to continue their three year hockey domination of Minnesota. TIME WAS when the Gophers held the Indian sign over Michi- gan and the best that the Wolver- ines could hope to do was hold the score down to a reasonable level. But since the coming of Vic Hey- liger as 'M' coach, the situation has been reversed. The Gophers of old have lost their teeth, while Michigan has grown into one of Athe hockey powers of the country. However, the Wolverines will find Minnesota no more of a pushover in hockey than in any other sport and will have to be razor sharp to prevent an upset. *N * * GOPHER MENTOR "Doc" Romnes has been pointing his squad for these games and has moulded a veteran nucleus and a group of promising sophomores into a better than average team. Minnesota has two danger- ous forwards in the persons of Rollie DePaul and Jerry Linde- gar, veterans from last year's squad. It was Lindegard who practically beat Michigan sin- gle handed last season, when he scored two goals in both the third period and the overtime session to give the Gophers a 5-4 win. Other Minnesota lettermen back from last year include Jim Alley, goalie Ken Austin, Dennis Berg- man and Bud Frick.; HEYLIGER WAS considerablyj cheered by the return to action of two ace forwards, Neil Celley and Gil Burford. It had been feared that neither one would be able tox make the trip because of illness. but both have recovered suffi- ciently and will probably see ac- tion tonight and tomorrow. He indicated that combina- tion that has been grinding out victories for the Maize and Blue all season would start the game for Michigan. The two teams will meet again Saturday night in Rochester and then return to Ann Arbor the fol- lowing weekend to wind up their meetings for the year, Button Takes World Figure, SkatingTitle' PARIS -P)--Nineteen-year-old Richard Button of Englewood, N. J., reaffirmed his men's figure! skating supremacy yesterday byt winning his second straight worldN championship. c The young Olympic gold medal- ist, unbeaten in two years on thea ice, gave a spectacular perform- E ance of skating grace and skill in the free style events to gain the crown without serious opposition. EDE KIRALY of Hungary fin- ished second and Edi Rada 01' Austria, the European champion, third in the final standings. The United States made aI good all-around showing in ad- dition to Button's victory. James Grogan of Oakland, Calif., was fourth. Hayes Allen Jenkins of Akron, Ohio, and Austin Holt of Berkeley, Calif., finished sixth and seventh, respectively. "I'VE NEVER SEEN anything like it and one else has either," commented one of the judges af- terwards. NCAA meet Iheld in AM Arbor hist March. But the fates d creed other- wise. Bill developed a severe case of food poisoning on the eve of the meet and in his weak- ened condition was unable to place in either event. So the Wildcat captai has somewhat sadly turned is atten- tions to a lesser ambition, that of sweeping the 440 yard and 1500 meter events in both the NCAA and Western Conference meets. HIS CHANCES of winning the 440 will be a little more clearly defined after his meeting with Matty Mann here.

PURDUE WILL bring up the rear with 37 points-or so say Art Henrie, John Witherspoon, and Herb Barten, who collaborated on the prognostication. This sage trio arrived at their momentous decision after care- fully studying the records and performances of the three com- peting teams in all their meets of the season. And when the prophets came out of their huddle, they wore three of the longest faces seen on local track enthusiasts since it was announced that shot putter Charlie Fonville would not be available this season. ALLOTTING POINTS just as they will be given at the meet, that is, five for first place, three for second, two for third, and one for fourth, the "board of experts" found that the Wolverines will have to go some to get even 49 points. They considered such factors as Illinois' advantage in run- ning on their home track-the meet takes place in the Illinois Armory, and the relative inex- perience of so many of Michi- gan's sophomore runners. In predicting the individual events, they compared the times and distances of the various com- petitors. For instance, the experts agree that Walt Klink of Purdue, will win the half-mile run, be- cause he has run the fastest time of any Big Nine half-miler this season. But the trio also agree that if Herb Barten, who is making the trip to Champaign this morning, should run in the mile or half- mile, their predictions for these events will have to be thrown out the window to allow for a place or two for the Wolverine ace.
