THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Track Season JnenJ . 28 State AAU Cinder Meet T ess McEwen, Fonville DEFENSIVE STAR NOW: Bob Harrison Successful as Pro Cager Bur ford Threatens 'M' I Hockey Scoring Record Gil Burford will smash all in- dividual season scoring records this year if he continues his red- hot pace of the first eleven Wol- verine hockey contests. Unofficial figures reveal that with the season not yet half over, the flashy Michigan forward has amassed 34 points or slightly bet- ter than three per game. WITH a 24 game schedule, imple arithmetic shows that at this rate Gil will roll up better than 75 markers which would easily surpass Gordie McMillan's one season record of 61, set last year. Actually Burford is taking up where he left off last year when a late season surge gave him second dlace in team scoring, only five points behind McMil- . lan's record total. Center Neil Celley is well ahead of his last year's pace when his 26 goals was tops for the Wolver- ine outfit. So far this season he has 15 talliesand 11 assists for a 26 point total and a second in the scoring race. NOT TOO FARI behind these two scoring hawks is the Wolver- ine captain, Wally Grant. His 20 point total, however, doesn't re- flect his value to the team as a great play-maker and back-check- er. The rest of the squad is pretty well strung out behind the leaders with Sophomore Bob A Heathcott and Ross Smith tied for fourth with nine points a piece. As a team the Wolverines havel ruffled the netting 64 times for a 5.8 average as compared to the opposition's 33 markers and 3 per game average. The dominance of the first line is again shown by the fact that the Celley-Grant-Burford trio have accounted for 40 goals or nearly two-thirds of the team total.

Attracting talent from more than 20 midwestern colleges and universities, the meet will be the only home event onthe Michigan athletic agenda for the examina- tion period. FONVILLE, who was sidelined in 1948 following an operation, has been tossing the shot since last fall and has regained much of his speedy, powerful snap. McEwen, amazing young dis- tance runner, will find stiff com- petition as he enters a field that includes what Coach Don Can- ham calls: "The greatest group of distance runners in the coun- try." Canham was referring to men like Jack Dianetti and Bill Mack, two of the men who will lead Michigan State's complete team to Ann Arbor. Sharing the world champions' spotlight will be Jack Stayton, freshman from Purdue who ran a 4.21.8 mile last year to es- tablish himselfas the world's finest high school performer in that event. The Big Ten freshman rule will force Stayton to run unattached, and it is likely that all Wolverine runners will also be forced to run in plain uniforms due to exam schedules. * * * THE following week, February 4th, will find the Wolverines com- peting in the Michigan State Re- lays in East Lansing. A full team will be entered in this meet and it should help strengthen them for the rugged Wisconsin meet, sched- uled for February 11th. To be held in Yost Field House on the Saturday night of J-Hop, the Wisconsin meet will feature one of the greatest track men in Big Ten History, Don Gehr- mann. Touted last year as "The King of the Indoor Milers," the Wiscon- sin wonder was undefeated until he met Michigan's McEwen in the Western Conference Cross Coun- try Championships last fall. McEwen dethroned him at that meeting, but what Mac will be able to do in the shorter distances still remains a question. THE SCHEDULE Saturday, January 28th: Michi- gan AAU Meet in Yost Field House. (Finals start at 7:00 p.m.) Saturday, February 4th: Michi- gan State Relays at East Lan- sing. Saturday, February 11th: Wis- consin-Michigan Dual Meet in Yost Field House; first event: 7:00 p.m. By TED PAPES Add another name to the list of Michigan athletes who have succeeded in professional sports. The newcomer is Bob Harrison, for three years a dominant factor in Western Conference basketball circles as a Wolverine guard until his graduation last June. * * * IN COMBINATION with Pete Elliott he helped provide his school with the most feared backcourt S PORTS BOB SANDELL, Night Editor unit in the Big Ten last season. Twice he was named on the all- Conference first team. Today he is at the pinnacle of the cage ladder as a member of the World Champion Min- neapolis Lakers of the Nation- al Basketball Association. The team's roster includes such fam- ous hardwood personalities as the incomparable George Mikan, Arnie Ferrin, the All-American from Utah, and Jim Pollard:. When former Michigan coach Ozzie Cowles took his present job as mentor at Minnesota, the Lak- BOB HARRISON . . . in fast company * * * ers consulted him about Harrison. "Grab him quick!" replied Cowles. "He'll be one of your most de- pendable ball players." * * * AND SO IT happened that he became the second choice of the Northland club last spring, second to Hamline star, Vern Mikkelson. Harrison and the Lakers have gotten along well together. At present he combines at guard with Herm Schaefer on the starting quintet. .Schaefer is a seasoned veteran of pro wars and has undoubtedly aided his young teammate in learning the intricacies of the game. Here's the surprising thing about Harrison. Today he is high- ly regarded in the league for his defensive prowess, yet at Michigan it was his scoring ability that kept him in the headlines. HIS MAIN function then was to soften the opposing defense with accurate long shots which fell true enough to the mark to make him one of the two top Wolverine point makers. At Minneapolis he is sent out after the opposing team's lead- ing scorer and so far has done a commendable job, according to his coach, Johnny Kundla. He has left the field goal pro- duction to the front line. If now he should resume his Michigan scoring activities, the Lakers might become the mon- sters of the NBA. * * * "JUST WAIT until he gets a little confidence," says Kundla. "When Harrison starts to hit from out on the court, he'll be tough to stop, and then we'll have one more man to take the pressure off Mikan and Pollard under the basket." He is one of the few first year men who have become prominent in professional basketball this year despite the fact that he broke in with a top contender. The Lakers are glad they took Cowles' advice. RELAXATION IS WISE It Try a Scalp Treatment or a Facikl to Stimulate and Relax You for Those Exams . . . RESULTS ARE AMAZING !! The Daseola Barbers Liberty near State SMALL BUT MIGHTY: Skoog Poses Cage Problem Equal to Schnittker, Rehfeldt By HAROLD TANNER In their two losses over the past weekend, Michigan's cagers ran into the two hottest pointgetters in the Big Nine in the forms of Dick Schnittker and Don Rehfeldt. Schnittker is the top average man with 24.3 points per game while Rehfeldt, defending scoring champion, is high point man with 87 in four contests. 'TRAILING right behind these two gentleman is Whitey Skoog who leads his Minnesota team against the Maize and Blue Satur- day night in the final game of the first semester. Although stopped with only eight points in the loss to Wis- consin Monday, Skoog has tossed through 55 points in three games for an 18.3 mark which is not too bad for a lit- tle man. Compared with Rehfeldt who towers at 6-6 and Schnittker who is only one inch shorter, Skoog is a relative midget at 5-11. * * * IN THE Gophers' opening game with Northwestern Skoog sparked a losing cause with a 24 point en- try, and came back in the second contest against Purdue to register 23 points. Wisconsin then applied the shackles to the junior for- ward and his average dropped. Against Michig'an last year Skoog was instrumental in the pair of wins registered by the Gophers as he netted 16 points in the first game and came back with a 12 point tally in the see- Mat men's Undefeated Streak Jeopardized by Illinois, Navy Ir- ond contest.

By JERRY BALBUS Michigan wrestlers will face no easy task in trying to extend their three game winning streak during the between-semester per- iod. The Wolverine's 'jinx' team, Illinois, will be first on the list. In twelve dual meets over a period of 27 years, Michigan has gar- nered only two victories and none since 1940. ine .* * * LAST YEAR, the Illini over- whelmed the wrestlers, 25-3. Bob Betzig, who now coaches the freshmen grapplers, turned in the lone victory. On February 4, the United States Naval Academy squad will invade Ann Arbor. The Mid- shipmen claimed the Wolverines as their fifty-second consecu- tive victim, 10-2, last season, and have lost only once in 61 matches over the past years. The captain of the Navy team is Wayne Smith, a former Maize and Blue grappler who in 1946 took the Conference 136-pound crown. * * * THE MATMEN hold a consid- erable edge over Michigan State, their next opponent, in dual meet competition. The Spartans, who during the past twenty years have been established as one of the top wrestling powers in the nation, have won only seven times out of twenty-six tries. In 1946, when the Spartans sported five state and one na- tional champion, the Wolverines still managed to turn in a sur- prise victory. The match was highlighted by Bill Courtright's triumph over the Spartan's Na- tional AAU champ, Gale Mikles. For the last between-semester meet, the matmen will travel out to Pittsburgh to face a newly or- ganized squad there. This year, is the first since 1938, that the Pan- thers have had wrestling on their sports program. Although they will be inexperi- enced as far as competitors go, their coach is not. As a student at Oklahoma A&M, Rex Perry, was National Collegiate 136 - pound titlist for three consecutive years. While coaching at Tulsa Central High School, his teams had a habit of winning state championships. In fifteen years as high school mentor, he has turned out 34 in- dividual state champion and four National AAU title holders.
