Iowa Victory Gives Nator
Incentive for Buckeye Me

By JIM PARKER
After last week-end's resound-
ing sweep of a two-game series
frotn Colorado College, Coach Vic
Heyliger's high - flying hockey
team seems well on its way to an-
flexing its third straight trip to
the NCAA tournament for the na-
tional championship play-offs.
The tourney, to be held at Colo-
rado Springs March 16, 17 and 18,
is composed of four teams, two
from the West and two from the
East and New England; chosen on
the basis of their 1949-50 season
records.
OF THE teams in the Western
division, Michigan's 15-won and-
three-lost record is at the head of
the list. North Dakota, Colorado
and Michigan Tech are still in
contention for one of the play-off
berths. North Dakota holds 14 wins
as against four losses and two
ties while Colorado has won 14,
lost 5 and tied one. Both have lost
two to Michigan.
Michigan Tech, handicapped
by a shortened schedule due to
a road trip accident which kill-
ed one team member and in-
jured several others, has lost
five games this season but still
cannot be counted out of the
race. The Huskies will be in Ann
Arbor this week-end for its sec-
ong two-game series with the
Wolverines.
The Colorado series, rated to be
one of the Wolverines' stiffest tests
by an American opponent, turned
into a rout after the hard-fought
first game Friday night.
IN SATURDAY night's' 11-1,
runaway practically everybody in
the Michigan line-up broke into
the scoring column except Hey-
laiger himself.
Late Scores .. .

Len Brumm and Neil Celley
led the scoring parade, both reg-
istering hat tricks. It was the
third three-goal of the season
performance for Celley and the
first in his Michigan career for
Brumm.
Gil Burford's eight point effort
for the two games (two goals and
six assists) brought his season
total to 49 points. With seven
games to play, Burford needs 13
more points to break Gordie
McMillan's one season record of
61, set last year.
WITH yesterday's announce-
ment of the addition of the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario to the
Wolverines' schedule, Burford will
get an extra game in which to es-
tablish a new record. The game
will be played in Ann Arbor March
11, shifting the originally sched-
uled game with Michigan State to
March 9.,
Celley racked up seven points
over the week-end on five goals
and three assists to place second
to Burford with 37 points.

PINS PROVIDE PAYOFF:
SophTrio Leads MichiganMatmen

By BILL BRENTON
An effective zone defense in the
final ten minutes enabled Michi-
gan's Wolverines to outlast Michi-
gan State College for a 70-53 win
last night at Yost Field House.
In a nip and tuck battle which
saw the lead change hands 15
times, Michigan came from be-
hind at the nine-minute mark in
the final stanza to pull away.
* * *
DIMINUTIVE Chuck Murray
led a scoring parade that watched
seven players, four wearing Michi-
gan colors, hit double figures. The
Birmingham (Mich.) guard hoop-
ed 15 points; Leo VanderKuy, des-
pite a bad night from the foul
line, got 14, while Don McIntosh
and Mack Suprunowicz bagged 13
and 12 points, respectively.
With the Spartans hitting dis-
tant set shots for a 40% first half
average and the Maize and Blue
relying on tip-ins and follow-
ups for their points, the teams
matched basket for basket in
the opening stanza.
But with a tie game looming at
intermission, State forward Dan
Smith, leading Spartan point-
getter with 14 counters, hit two
one-handers to give the visitors a,
37-34 halftime margin.
CAPTAIN Mack Suprunowicz'
pair of goals to open the second
stanza knotted the count at 38-
all, and the clubs settled down to
the see-saw type of play once
again.
The 10-minute mark of the
final session saw Suprunowicz
collect his fifth foul. Steffen hit
the free toss to make the score
read 50-48 Michigan and the
Wolverines switched to a tight
zone defense.
Then the now cold and baffled
Spartans watched Coach Ernie
McCoy's charges register, 12 con-
secutive points to put the game
out of reach. The zone proved ef-
fective in blocking the one-handed
accuracy of forwards Bill Rapchak
and Smith, and assured the Wol-

from the floor and meshed 28
against 22 shots to eke out a 30.4-
28.5 percentage win.
The win was Michigan's tenth
in 19 outings while State tasted

Foursome

By GEORGE FLINT
The word had gone round in Big
Ten swimming circles that Ohio
State's Buckeyes already had the
Conference meet laurels wrapped
up in their gray and red bath-
robes.
But down at the I-M pool Sat-
urday night Matt Mann's Michi-
gan Wolverines gave an indica-
tion that they haven't quite con-
ceded the meet to Mike Peppe's
men, by downing an Iowa squad
which, according to form, should
have defeated the Maize and Blue
decisively.
A SWIMMER who has seen both
teams in action (has, in fact, com-
peted against both)-Iowa's Duane
Draves - stated Saturday night
that the Wolverines will defeat
the talented splashers from Co-
lumbus-if they continue to per-
form as they did in the Hawkeye
meet. On the other hand, coach
Dave Armbruster of Iowa mini-
mized the Michigan win, stating
that his men swam way off form.
From the first event, however,
the Maize and Blue athletes per-
formed like champions. In the
medley relay Charlie Moss was
caught in a 59. flat clocking for
his 100-yard breastroke leg. The
pool record here for that event is
1.00.2.
The versatile Moss came back
to amaze the crowd (and te
Hawkeyes) by beating Iowa's
vaunted Rusty Garst in the 100-
yard free-style.
Garst had been told to look out
for sophomore Dave Neisch, and
while the Hawkeye sprinter con-
centrated on staying ahead of the
regular Wolverine dash man, Moss
opened up a lead in the first two
pool lengths which enabled him to
outlast Garst in 51.8.
The same Garst swam prob-
ably the best race of the night,

although it was in a losing caus(
Going into the last leg of th
400-yard free style relay with
deficit of almost a body lengt
on the Wolverine anchormai
Garst swam a brilliant 50.7 cei
tury, only to be touched out by
tenth of a second.
Another Iowa star, Bowen Stat
forth, scored a mild upset in C
feating Wolverine John Davies
the 200-yard breaststroke. Davi
known for his blazing finishes, w
even with Stassforth going in
the turn for the last 25 yards, t

reserve stamina and won goi

distance.

With only one more dual meet
remaining before the Conference
championships begin, the Michi-
gan wrestling team's won-lost der-
by finds three men, all sophomores,
tied for first place.
LarryaNelson, Bill Stapp and
Dave Space all have 8-1 records,
Nelson having three pins, Stapp
two, and Space one.
UNTIL LAST Saturday's meet
with Indiana, Nelson was unde-
feated and might still be were it
not for a close decision on the part
of the referee.
With little more than a min-
ute left in the third period, Nel-
son was ahead 3-2 and began to
wrestle more cautiously in order
not to lose his advantage.
As the second hand showed only
ten seconds remaining, the referee
momentarily halted the match and
awarded two points to the Hoos-
ier's Bob Braebender, claiming that
Nelson had been stalling. Thus,
Braebender, who was Conference
runner-up last year won, 4-3.
Both Stapp and Space turned in
fine performances over the week-
end to continue on their winning
ways.
* * *
SPACE, wrestling Bill Braeben-
der, Bob's twin brother, in the
136-pound clash, upset the former

Conference runner-up 7-5 with a
splurge in the last period.
In the 155-pound tussle, Bill
Stapp also had to come from be-
hind in the third stanza to de-
feat Simon Priesant, 5-3. Prie-
sant, who finished third in the
Conference last season, was tout-
ed as one of Indiana's top per-
form ers.
Following right behind the soph-
omore trio is veteran Captain Jim

Smith with a 6-2-1 record, with
one of his wins coming via the pin
route.
SMITH easily handled Indiana's
Dave Lyons, who is in his first
year of varsity competition, beat-
ing him 9-3.
Next in the standings, are Bud
Hlolcombe and Joe Planck with
identical 3-3 records. Each man
has also recorded one pin.
