Scoring honors of the evening went to Michigan State's all- around Mel Stout, who worked five of the six events on the program and totaled 192 points on a first, two seconds and two thirds, one a tie. Captain Bar- thell was high for Michigan and runner-up to Stout with 19 points. Barthell walked off with num- ber one spots in the side horse, parallel bars, and tumbling and also garnered a fourth in the fly- ing rings. ED BUCHANAN maintained his unblemished record in the tram- poline by scoring the high per- formance point total for the eve- ning with 280, to account for the other Michigan event victory. The triumph gave Coach Newt Loken's acrobats a record of six straight without defeat. With a conquest of Kent State next week the Wolverines can finish 'the 1950 schedule with a perfect dual meet record. Fred Thompson and Sam Dud- ley, subbing for the ailing Gordie Levenson, came through with point-getting performances in the e tumbling and trampoline respec- tively to contribute four big mark- ers to the Michigan cause. * * * CONNIE ETTL had a rough break on the parallel bars and finished out of the scoring be- cause of a bad mount. It was the , first time he failed to score in an event this year. Stout won the flying rings and Bob Feldmeier of Michigan State took the high bar to tally the Spartans only six-pointers. The Wolverines were behind 39- 41 after the conclusion of the first five events. Tom Tillman's second place in the tramp put the meet on ice, and Dudley's fourth added the -finishing touches.

A reserve award winner in 1948-49, Murray opened the past season in a starting guard posi- tion and with only a few ex- ceptions occupied that spot for the rest of the year. Although he stands only 5 ft. 11 in., small as colege cagers go, Murray showed up well under the boards, and was the hero of the 69-67 upset victory over Indiana when he tipped in a rebound to snap the deadlock as the final buzzer sounded. HE SCORED 17 points in this game for runnerup honors and his high point total of the year. Through an oversight, a story in yesterday's Daily concerning Michigan's all-time Conference championship record neglected to point out that the Wolver- ines won eight out of nine Big Ten titles in 1943-44, and that the golf team preserved the Maize and Blue tradition of winning at least one Western Conference crown every year by getting the laurels in both 1946 and 1947. He also netted 17 points against Minnesota at Yost Field House to lead the Michigan pointgetters while being assigned the unenvi- able task of guarding Gopher jumping jack, Whitey Skoog. During the season, Murray scored 147 points on 42 field goals and 63 foul points for fifth place on the Wolverine scoring list. He netted 81 points in Big Ten action to also finish in fifth place in that department. Murray is one of five letter- men who is returning for duty next year. The others are Leo VanderKuy, Jim Skala, Bill Doyle, and Bob Olson. * * * SUPRUNOWICZ' selection as Most Valuable Player comes as a CONFERENCE BRIEFS: Directors Raise Cage Schedule to 14 ) . By The Associated Press CHICAGO -Big Ten athletic directors yesterday recommended a 1951 Conference basketball schedule of 14 games, an increase of two over the number played seasonally with few exceptions since 1906. The new slate, which must be certified by the faculty -repre- sentatives, meeting concurrent- ly with the athletic directors, provides for the debut of new member Michigan State. Under the 14-game card, each school meets five rivals on a home-and-home basis and four foes in single games, two away and two home. Since basketball records were first officially compiled in 1906, the Big Ten has played mainly a 12-game card. The most re- cent difference was in 1942 when 15 games were played. The addition of Michigan State 4 brings the league field to 10 in basketball for the first time since Chicago abandoned the Confer- ence after the 1946 season. Even with a 14-game league schedule, the Big Ten's over-all season limitation of 22 games will prevail. Double Bills Out ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Ted Payseur of Northwestern con- firmed a report that the Wildcat school will abandon in whole or in part its affiliation with the an- nual Chicago Stadium double- header program. Payseur said Northwestern cagers will play most of their home Conference games next season at the Evanston High School court. * * * Bierman May Quit MINNEAPOLIS-Reports were heard on the University of Minne- sota campus yesterday that head football coach Bernie Bierman is ready to quit coaching the Minne- sota Gophers if the University should name him athletic director. The post of athletic director, now held by Frank McCormick, will be vacant on July 1 when McCormick retires. McCormick announced his retirement in November. A University source who de- clined to be identified by name said, "Yes, it's true, Bierman is interested in the directorship post."
