Needing 12 votes for reelection, Chandler was able to muster only a 9-7 edge on the one and only secret ballot at the joint meeting of sthe 16 major league club owners. HE WAS REPUDIATED by the same count at a joint meeting at St. Petersburg last Dec. 11. "I will make no further effort to be elected commissioner," said Chandler. "It's definite that I'm not going to be commissioner." Chandler said he would go home to Kentucky to "talk to the folks" tomorrow. He said he "might be in- terested" in his old job as U.S. Sen- ator, vacated by the death of Sen. Virgil Chapman, Kentucky Demo- crat, last week. "The Governor told me he would make no choice until I re- turned," Happy said, concerning the senatorial vacancy. "I will continue to stay in of- fice until my successor is elected and qualified," he said. No successor was in sight at the moment. The four-man screening committee that turned up some 30 candidates for the job was asked to dig up additional information. A statement read to the press by Earl Milligan, publicity director of the American Leagee, read in part: "The Clubs are 'determined to give the selection of a commission- er very careful consideration and to take all the time necessary to obtain a man of outstanding in- tegrity and ability."

I The Dascola Barbers Liberty near State After Disqualification in 880 Prelims By BYRLE ABBIN Chuck Whiteaker's performance in the Big Ten Indoor Track Meet last week was truly the personifi- cation of a top athlete who wouldn't let a bad break stand in his way. The slight Council Bluffs, Iowa, half miler saw one of his big dreams shattered Friday night in the half mile preliminaries when he was declared disqualified after winning his heat handily. SHRUGGING THIS heartbreak aside, Whiteaker, to the surpries of the Big Ten track world, came back to take fifth place in the very fast and competitive mile field. Ever since Whiteaker began running the 880 yard race for the Maize and Blue three years ago the first place in the West- ern Conference Meet has beep his goal. Running in a topnotch field last year, Chuck placed third to the great Don Gehr- mann and OSU's Len Truex in the conference indoor meet. This year Chuck had run con- sistent top half mile races, and was looked on to give Truex a tough race for first place in the 880. But when judges denied this to him, the stage was set for his amazing comeback in the mile. * * * ' ' NOT ONLY was his cracking the miler's block to finish in the placing a terrific feat, but even more surprising was the fact that he seldom ran the mile race as a Wolverine, and not once previously this year. And to top off this top per- formance, Whiteaker's time was a very good 4:18. He paced him- self well the entire race, appear- ing fresh all the way, and had a good kick down theastretch that carried him to a place among the point getters. Whiteaker came up to Michigan with a well established name in midwest high school track circles. He was Iowa State champ in the 880, and Omaha-Council Bluffs in- tercity mile champ. Chuck also, ran the 440 occasionally, more of- running an occasional mile. Last year found him placing consistent- ly high in the half mile. This year Whiteaker hit his stride, with a top time of 1:56 in the 880. He also has been used as an alternate on the mile relay team. But more important is this new found skill he has in the mile. It means much more strength for the Wolverines in the future. With the big outdoor season rapidly ap- proaching, he will be an important cog in the four mile relay team, the two mile relay team, and the dis- tance medley team. AND BEYOND THIS is the pos- sibility of doubling him in the half and mile race in all the outdoor duel meets and the conference meet. gathering in many important points in the process. Foremost in Whiteaker's mind at the present is, however, to come back this spring in the outdoor Big Ten Track meet, win the half mile race, thus gaining a spot in the Big Ten Track team that will travel to California in the summer to meet the top stars of the Pacific Coast Conference. Ready to Clown or Play Heyliger Wary of Possible Injuries to Key Players on Eve of NCAA Hockey Playoffs I By BOB ROSENMANN The Detroit Red Wings, leaders of the National Hockey League, and Michigan's NCAA-bound pucksters will stage one of their famous hockey exhibitions tonight when the two teams clash at the Coliseum. Centers Sid Abel of the Wings and Wolverine John Matchefts will face off at 8 p.m. WHAT HAPPENS after that, however, is anyone's guess. In pre- vious years' games, both teams varied in play from clean aggres- sive hockey to clowning for the benefit of the fans. To illustrate, one year Abel was awarded a Michigan sweater during the course of the game, and on another occasion around 20 men were skating on the ice at one time. Naturally, both teams will exchange players at various intervals in the game. Coach Vic Heyliger, wary of key injuries which might conceivably hamper the Wolverine hopes this I READ DAILY CLASSIFIEDS CHUCK WHITEAKER . .. wouldn't be denied .* * * ten in the mile relay than in the open race. ** * TRACK COACH Don Canham kept him mainly in the half mile race during his freshman year, week in the NCAA playoffs in Colorado, will undoubtedly instruct his charges not to rough it up too strenuously with the Wings, who boast a pretty formidable defense in front of goalie Terry Sawchuk. HEYLIGER has indicated that Willard Ikola, much-heralded frosh goaltender, will start for the Wolverines. In addition, other members of the freshman team will see action for Michigan along with the varsity pucksters. The Wolverines will be after their second victory over the Red Wings. Back in 1946, the two teams opened their annual series as the Maize and Blue was de- feated, 7-5. In 1947, Michigan won, 9-7, but in 1948 and again last year, the Wolverines were beaten, 11-5, and 10-1, respec- tively. Season scoring records (with goals, assists,' and total points in that order in parentheses): Neil Celley (37-37-74), Gil Bur- ford (36-30-66), John Matchefts (24-31-55), John McKennell (32- 21-53), Earl Keyes (18-22-40), Bob Heathcott (11-20-31), Al Bassey (14-16-30), Alex McClellan (6-18- 24), Joe Marmo (3-12-15), Graham Cragg (1-12-13), Gordon Naylor (3-5-8), Eddie May (3-3-6). The Wolverines will leave Ann Arbor for Willow Run Wednesdey from where they will fly to Colo- rado Springs. Their opponent in the first NCAA playoff game Thursday will be Boston Univer- sity.

By GEORGE FLINT 1 There was a day when Mike Peppe's Ohio State swimming team was in the constant position of playing second fiddle to the young men of Michigan. But now the tables are turned, the past is no more, and it looks like only a miracle could give the Wolverines a chance to set the situation right. THEBUCKEYES, in rolling up a phenomenal total of 129 points in last weekend's Conference meet (partially due to the fact that sixth places counted in the scor- ing), served notice that they'll probably be on top of the Big Ten totem pole for a number of years. A look at only three events gives an idea of the all-around strength ot the Buckeyes., In diving, where the Scarlet and Gray have always been strong, they picked up 28 points, *with a pair of firsts, a second, two thirds and a fourth. In the 100-yard back stroke they swept the first three places for another 15 markers. It was inevitable that OSU would run up a large margin on their nearest competitor-but as it was they nearly doubled the score of second-place Michigan State. It's doubtful if they'll fare as well this week in the NCAA cham- pionships at Austin. Yale's Bull- dogs have them matched and prob- ably beaten in every event except diving and the backstroke. NOTES FROM a most unusual meet-Michigan's medley relay team of Bernie Kahn, Dave Neisch, and Stew Elliott was a big surprise for the Wolverines, as it placed second behind the Buck- eyes. Itshad been figured for no better than third or fourth.'.-. Ohio's Jack Taylor set an NCAA record for the 200-yard back stroke Friday night with a 2:08.7 effort. He came back on Saturday to eclipse the Big Ten mark in the 100-yard back stroke with a time of 57.3. . . . Bob Clotworthy, who won both diving events, didn't ap- pear when the Buckeyes were in Ann Arbor for a dual meet earlier this season. . . . Most spectators who saw that meet felt that the Buckeyes would have to go a long way to find anyone comparable SENIORS S HAVEYOU ORDERED YOUR OFFICIAL AE MICHIGAN RING?
