, t20, 19 4 THE M el 4.A 'A Tf £.5.LI TTT TT-C1twl TTV Cagers Play 14 League Games Michigan's basketball squad faces a 14-game Conference sched- ule for the first time in Big Ten history in the 1950-51 season. The number of Conference games was expanded by two con- tests in order to include Michigan , State College, which starts partici- pating in Conference athletics offi- cially this year. * * 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 brings the league field in basket- ball to 10 for the first time since Chicago abandoned the Confer- ence after the 1946 season. Even with this expansion of league games to 14, the Big Ten's over-all season limit of 22 contests will still prevail. * * * * * n turning contingent is Jim Skala, star of the freshman club two years ago. Skala came to the var- sity loaded with ability, but bur- dened with expectancy. * * * TALL, AGILE, fast, possessing a sure pair of hands, and able to score on almost any type of shot, Skala's rounding into form should give McCoy a dangerous scorer and able floor man for the coming Conference campaign. Olson and Doyle have both been consistent performers for Michi- gan, often coming through with great play when called upon to produce. Doyle has been hamper- ed throughout his career with a bad knee, nevertheless he should see plenty of action this season. Olson doesn't confine his interest in sports to the hardwoods, he also is an excellent golfer. He was co- Captain of last year's squad, and should play a big part in deter- mining the Wolverines' golf for- tunes next year. Ted Gutowski, Les Popp, Tom Tiernan, Alex Martin, and Dick Frame are reservists who may see plenty of action if they happen to fit into McCoy's plans for the com- ing basketball season. Track...1 (Continued from Page 3) «I ONLY FIVE lettermen are re- turning to Coach Ernie McCoy's squad, the greatest loss being for- ward Mack Suprunowicz. Playing his fourth year for the Maize and Blue, Supey was always the spark- plug of the team and his cat-like actions plagued opposing teams continually. The other losses include Lefty Hal Morrill, whose height and all-around ability will be sorely missed, Irv Wisniewski, known for his aggressiveness and hard playing, and Don McIntosh, who had one of the surest pair of hands ever seen on the Michi- gan hardwoods. . Charlie Murray, who is the 1950- 51 captain, heads the list of re- turning lettermen and plays guard on the Wolverine squad. He hails from Birmingham, Michigan, where he was a star' in his own right, setting a prep school scoring record that still stands and prob- ably will for some time to come. * * * MURRAY SUCCEEDED Supru- nowicz, who set several scoring records for Michigan which will never be beaten. Mack started playing ball as a freshman, under the relaxed eligibility rule in force at the time. He has scored well over 1100 points while wearing the Maize and Blue averaging better than 275 points a season. Suprunowicz was voted the. Most Valuable player on the 1949-50 squad for his outstand- ing play. He led the team in a coring with 150 points in Con- DO YOU KNOW ... that Mich-' igan's Professor Ralph W.

DUNK 'EM-Charlie Murray (3) Captain of Michigan's 1950-51 basketball squads, leaps and slips in a two-pointer in a game against Minnesota last year. Meyer "Whitey" Skoog is trying to block the shot. Murray tallied 17 points against the Gophers, his best effort of the Conference play. He also scored 17 against Indiana earlier in the year. * * * * * * which broke the 10-year frosh mile relay mark. Getting ready for his third year at the helm of the Wolver- ine trackmen, Coach Canham is still rebuilding the squad, try- ing hard to end the late drouth of Western Conference cham- pionships for Michigan cinder- men. And with such a nucleus of stars as McEwen, Hoover, Mitchell and Henrie it is very possible to keep up the Wolverine track tradition and add to the total of twenty outdoor and fifteen indoor cham- ference play, 278 throughout the whole season. He also holds the individual scoring record for one game, 28, which he set against Purdue in 1949. Filling the shoes of such a great performer is not going to be an easy job, but Murray is a capable fellow and should be more than able to hold his own. * * * LAST SEASON was Charlie's first as a regular. He was a re- serve in 1948-49, playing behind two of Michigan's greatest guards, Pete Elliott and Bob Harrison. He won himself a real place in the eyes of ardent Wolverine fans when he tipped in a rebound in the last second of play to whip In- diana, 69-67, last spring. It was the Hoosiers' first loss of the sea- son, and gave Michigan a great start in the 1949-50 campaign. Although he stands only five- feet eleven he manages to do his share of scoring, and in that same Indiana game he racked up a total of 17 counters. Dur- ing the season he scored 147 points for fifth place on the Wolverine scoring list. ' Murray will be out to lead his team to a better record than the four-won, eight-lost record which gave the Wolverines sixth place in the Conference standings last year. HELPING HIM along will be Leo VanderKuy, Bob Olson, Jim Skala, and Bill Doyle. These men are all promising perforrhers and could provide McCoy with the nuc- leus of a championship ball club. VanderKuy's tip-ins and pivot sots placed him close behind Suprunowicz in Conference and over-all scoring for the season.

Wayne Melchiori and 230-pound Don Rohrig will also be in line for the offensive center spot left vacant by Bob Erben's graduation. Although nonte of these men have seen action against collegiate opposition yet, they form the back- bone of what will besOosterbaan's "shock troops"' this season. With holes to plug in both backfield and line, the Michigan coach will be using first-year men with more lavish a hand than usual, and ipon the success of this move may well depend the success of the 1950 edition of the Wolverine football team. PAID ADVERTISEMENT S POTLIGHTED FASHION FOR FALL. Head coverings go back to school; "believe your eyes"!!! Making this the lead spot-lighted fashion in this column is not a typographical error. The time has arrived when University students are wearing "head coverings." No- tice, we don't say just hats, but head coverings that include caps, and caps, and caps, of various styles, types and colors. Here are some of the reasons why: When the small shape cap was first adopted at Michigan they were worn in ones and twos . Last year they were worn in hundreds. They were first intro- duced on the Michigan campus by Saffell and Bush, one of the out- standing style and quality Mens Shops in the Middle West. When you arrive at the Michi- gan campus this fall your first important view-point and first impression will be the smartly styled men's wear worn by the student. We will try and spot-light a few more "musts" for you for the fall of fifty. You can plan on color and comfort as the two main fac- tors in your back-to-school life at Michigan. One good clue is the New Tartan plaid sport jacket with cap to match, worn with plain color flannel slacks that blend in with the predominant color of the jacket. The strong emphasis on medium tones in suitings for fall is in line with the current demand created for it by University men. Browns are of strong fashion significance, and the warm shades of autumn colorings - soft grey flannels and dark blue gabardines will follow as close seconds. The main trend in model de- velopment veers sharply towards easier, more natural, straight hanging lines, the jackets will generally hold to the three but- ton coat and three patch pockets, but a few two button coats will face the young man this fall. Remember with the coat and pant your extra pair of slacks with'the coat above are the ideal sports ensemble for the college man - the famous two-in-one outfit. In topcoats for fall, young men are looking for style and quality. Of particular interest are single breasted models with button through fronts in fancy tweeds and cheviots. Saffell and Bush suggests that you still keep that campus favorite Gabardine or Co- vert topcoat with a zipper liner in your wardrobe at all times. It has been, and will continue to be, the young man's accepted favorite. Bow ties are in the spot-light. The old axiom "see-ing is believ- ing" will justify all that we can say for "Bow Ties." That very fa- mous "Knit Tie" for college men, to be worn with a white oxford shirt button down collar, is an accepted fashion in style and com- fort that all young men prefer. Be sure and plan this high among your "musts" for fall. With an eye towards providing suitable foot wear for the occa- sion, you should include a pair of leisure shoes, one pair of brown scotch grain wing tip shoes. Also the outstanding campus "must" should be a light shade of tan Calf skin with extra heavy Crepe soles. This shoe was styled by Saffell and Bush in Ann Arbor for fall of '49, and it has become a necessity the country over, with men of all ages. The last shoe necessitates a plain black for for- mal wear. For the all important hosiery spot-light think of the dozens of various shades in that campus favorite "The English Argyle." Co- lors to blend with all your ward- robe. Naturally, the great "Storm Coats" for University men have been accepted as the campus cold weather "must." "Storm Coats" in thoroughbred tweeds and Gab- ardine fabrics with a great warm fur-like collar - the coat that gives you comfort plus the all important luxurious 1 o o k of warmth. For the over-all promotion of complete campus wardrobes the chief focus will be centered on three types of apparel: general campus and sports wear, -dress-up and week-end wear, and formal apparel. Since a large selection of college apparel is bought on a style and quality basis the thing for you to consider when pre- paring your fall wardrobe is to be sure that the merchandise you select before coming to school is an accepted style here at Michi- gan. Saffell and Bush suggest that their fall showings are based on two very important style factors: First, an accepted fashion, and second that all new novelties in mens apparel for the fall of fifty have passed the style survey cri- tics of their shop. We wish to place the "spot- light" on so-called "Classic Sta- ples," though the chief promo- tional and main interest is on new fashion trends and the com- plete wardrobe idea. Certain clas- sic staples will form the back- bone of your wardrobe. These in- x Gymnasts Gain Top.Spot in Sport Scene * * * * * * * By MARV EPSTEIN (Summer Daily Sports Editor) Not too long ago, gymnastic. was only something listed in the catalogue under physical educa. tion for men, and if someone ha( suggested that thousands of peo, . ple would turn out to watch group of athletes perform the re- petoire of the gymnasts - well, s couple of years ago no one woulc K have had the audacity to maki such a suggestion. That was B.L. - before Loker in Michigan athletic history. To- day, gymnastics is Michigan': most rapidly 'growing sport. In fact, it has so completely capturec the fancy of Ann Arbor fans that rumor has it the powers that be fear that gymnastics will even- tually encroach on their attend- ence domains. * * * THE MAN responsible for the tremendous growth of gymnastics as a varsity sport here is Coach Newton Loken. Loken revived gym- nastics here in 1947 after it had been dropped in 1933. In his first year as coach of the Wolverine acrobats Loken brought his squad of tumblers to third place in the Western' Conference. He repeated with another third last year and this year saw his team finish second in the Big Ten. The 1950 season was the great- est in Michigan gymnastics- his- tory, but Loken is far from being content. Already he is laying plans to bring home the Confer- ence team crown in 1951. * * * AS A'FORMER champion him- self, Loken is imbued with the championship spirit which char- acterizes all Michigan sports. It is this spirit which is at least in part responsible for the fact that in the short time he has been on the camnus the vmnastics coach THE MAN ON THE-Connie Ettl and Ed Buchanan were top men on the gymnastic totem poll as Michigan's team had one of it's greatest seasons. Ettl specialized in the high bar, while Buchanan was a trampoline artist. Ed is the only man in the history of trampolining to hold four major titles at one time. a * * 4 > * > * * * son undefeated, was upset in the Conference championships in his attempt to retain his Big Ten title, but came back in real form to capture the NCAA laurels at West Point for the second straight year. * * * THE NCAA VICTORY brought special satisfaction to Buchanan since it came at the expense of Bill Harris of Iowa, the man who upset him in the Conference trials. Like Buchanan, the Wolver- ine tumblers finished their reg- ular season undefeated, the first time they have been able to do so since the sport was inaugu- rated here. Besides the second place in the Bio- 'ren a oimr-man Mnries nnrl hampered by an ankle injury in the tumbling competition. Barthell led all scorers on the Michigan team with 102 points for the regular season, 25 more than his nearest rival, sopho- more sensation Connie Ettl. In the NCAA meet he took sec- onds in both tumbling and the parallel bars. * * * FOUR MEN dominated the point-making for the Lokenmen. Barthell, Ettl, whose specialty is the high bar, little Tom Tillman who can do just about anything on the program, and Buchanan comprised the quartet. Among them they racked up 285 points, almost three-fourths of the total I mi,,f- f- t -f p-nm i ,- -nin-m FOR ANOTHER, Loken's young- er brother, Herb, was co-captain of the Gophers, while another member of the Loken clan, Don, was also on the Maroon and Gold squad. The Wolverines came from behind to take that one, setting a pattern for themselves for the rest of the season. Facing some of the best gym squads in the country in Michigan State, Kent State, Chicago, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio State, they had to come from behind several times in order to assure victory. Coach Loken has also establish- ed a pattern, that of steady im- provement. Under his tutilege the squad has each year bettered its onn. ,n- . c- - YOU'LL BE MIGHTY PROUD OF A UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BACKGROUND Distinguished graduates of today and yesterday value the heritage of Michigan above all else.
