HOOVER FACES HURDLES:
Six'M' Thinclads Enter Chicago Relays
* * *
By BYRLE ABBIN
A small contingent of six track
j men will carry the Maize and Blue
colors tonight in the star-studded
field of the annual Chicago Daily
News Relays.
Captain Don Hoover will lead
the Wolverine squad, in compet-
ing in a topnotch hurdle duel with
Harrison Dillard and Jesse Thom-
as. In the Knights of Columbus
meet last Friday Hoover finished
third to these two, but came back
the following night to top Thomas
in the Milwaukee Journal meet.
The other individual Michigan
performer will be Jack Carroll,
highly rated freshman, who last
week showed tremendous strength
in bringing the Wolverines their
only victory in the KC Meet.
CARROLL WON the 600 yard
dash over a top group led by Gene
Cole of OSU, and Henry Crier of
Illinois, who was touted as top
college half miler in the country
until his recent ineligibility.
The two mile relay team will
compose the rest of the Wolver-
ine entrants. The foursome of
Don McEwen, Aaron Gordon,
Chuck Whiteaker, and Al Ran-
kin will be seeking revenge over
MSC's quartet which bested the
Maize and Blue runners by
TOP AMATEUR runners will
feature the rest of the meet. The
Bankers Mile, always a top attrac-
tion, will again spotlight ' the
rivalry between Fred Wilt and
Don Gerhmann. Gerhmann, aft-
er winning 39 straight mile races,
is presently in a slump, having
finished second three times ina
row.
Added to these two is Len
Truex, Big Ten Mile Champ,
who inflicted Gerhmann's sec-
ond loss last week.
Curtis Stone, who has twice
won the Merriman two mile race,
leads the two mile field. Last
year in this invitational race, Mc-
Ewen set the varsity indoor record
of 9:05.5 in finishing third to
Stone and John Twomey.
However this year McEwen is
staying out of the race, giving his
full effort to running for the two
mile relay quartet.
Another fifteen foot pole vault-
ing effort is in prospect with Don
Laz of Illinois, and former Illini
Bob Richards hooking up in a
top dual. Last week Laz topped
the coveted mark for the first
time with a 15'%" effort in the
KC meet, while Richards has con-
sistently bettered it since his first
fifteen foot vault.
Bruins Will Battle
Michigan in Final
Easterners Secure Upset Victory
Through Whiston's Fine Net Play
By JIM PARKER
Special to The Daily
A determined Brown squad,
champions of the Ivy League, up-
set Colorado last night by the
score of 8-4 in the NCAA play-
offs.
The Bruins will now battle the
Michigan Wolverines tonight at
8:15 p.m. for the NCAA hockey
championship while Boston Uni-
versity and Colorado will play
the consolation contest at 2:30
p.m. this afternoon.
* * *
MICHIGAN will throw its strong
forward attack of Gil Burford,
Neil Celley. Johnny Matchefts,
Johnny McKennell, and Earl
Keyes against the Bruins star goa-
lie Don Whiston, who has receiv-
ed rave notices about his goal-
tending abilities. Newspaper ex-
perts are agreed that Whiston has
been the best net minder in the
tourney thus far.
To go along with the fine de-
fense the Bruins possess a
strong offense headed by Don
Sennot who has scored 62 points
in 20 games. Other scoring lead-
ers for the easterners are Don
Wheeler, Tony Malo, and Al
Gubbins.
goals by Frank DiBiase andl
John Casey. Bud Eastwood tied
the count at three all at 7:11.
After this point it was all Brown
as the Bruins chalked up four con-
secutive goals to be in front at
the end of the second frame 7-3.
* * *
OBSERVERS who have wit-
nessed the Bruins tussles this sea-
son declare they are not a second
period club. However, the Ivy
leaguers disproved that theory
with a six goal second period ef-
fort.
Colorado scored once more at
.34 seconds of the third period
and Brown's Al Gubbins ended
the evening's scoring with a goal
at 15:28.
Most of the goals in the Colo-
rado-Brown clash were long shots
which eluded the respective goa-
lies.
To get back to Brown's sensa-
tional goalie, the final tabulations
reveal that Whiston stopped 36
of the Tigers shots, letting only
four to get by him into the net.

Kalamazoo Central Bids for Third
Straight Crown at Lansing Tonight
EAST LANSING-()-Prep bas-
ketball glory was up for the taking
here last night as 16 of the state's
classiest quintet's battled for eight
berths in the Saturday finals of
the gint annual high school bas-
ketball tournament.
The survivors of an original field
of about 600 teams, 16 of them,
clashed at centers at Lansing and
East Lansing.
VICTORS IN competition were
Highland Park and Flint Central
in A, St. Joseph and River Rouge
in Class B, Detroit St. Andrews
and Boyne City in Class C, and
Dimondale and Brimley in Class
D.
Times for the final games at
Jenison Fieldhouse on the Mich-
igan State College campus are:
Class C-2:00 p.m., Class B-
3:30 p.m., Class D-7:30 p.m.,
and Class A-9:00 p.m.
The closest contest on the game
slate was between Highland Park
and Flint Central, which the for-
mer won by the score of 44-43 on a
free throw by center Dave Parks
with 45 seconds remaining.
GUARD TONY Branoff of Flint
also had a free shot attempt with
20 seconds to go, but he missed to
kill Flint's chances.
Kalamazoo Central, which is
aiming for its third consecutive
class A title, thumped scrappy
Lansing Eastern 56-34 to move
into the finals against Highland
Park.
With giant center Ron Jackson
controlling both blackboards and
leading all the way with 19 points,
the issue was never in doubt.
CLASS B'S ST. JOSEPH pulled
,r slowly away after trailing most of
the game to oust Petoskey by a 61-
55 score.
Petoskey had a 48-46 bulge on
the St. Jo squad going into the
final quarter, but the victor's
team play finally caught up
with Bob Hitchmough, brilliant
Petoskey forward, who was high

points.
However, guard Dick Clark's 14
points and forward John Gersonde
and center Paul Weber's 11 points
apiece contributed to the St. Jo
cause, proved more than enough to
offset the individual ability of the
Petoskey player.
IN THE OTHER class B bracket,
River Rouge took an early 14-12
advantage at the quarter and
steadily built up their advantage
thereafter to dump Grand Blanc,
42-36.
No player stood out in this
contest, but the trio of forward
Zuk, center Whitaker, and guard
Gilliam each scored over 10
points to pace River Rouge's
attack.
St. Andrews, Class C tourney
favorite, made 16 points in the
final quarter while Boyne City
collapsed with only two to give the
Detroit team an easy 66-47 win.

THE GREAT combination of
guard Jerry Olesko and center
Frank Tanana carried St. Andrew
into the finals. They accounted for
44 points between them with Oles-
ko getting 25 and Tanana 19.
Boyne City surprised by stay-
ing in the fight for the first three
quarters of the game. The score
was tied at 18-all at the quarter,
St. Andew led by two points at
the half, and pulled away slight-
ly in the third stanza on the
trength of Tanana's three suc-
cessive buckets. Then the dam
broke.
Marlette came back after a third
period slump to stop Stanton 41-
37 in the other Class C struggle.

AFTER STANTON had pulled
up in the third quarter to a 28-28
deadlock Marlette managed 13
points to 9 for Stanton in the
fourth period for themarginof
victory.
Forward Bob Shackleford and
Center Bob Kukovitch combined
for the Marlette winning drive
in the final eight minutes, the
former getting 15 points.
The smallest schools in Class D,
provided two of the hottest con-
tests of the evening.
BRIMLEY FOUGHT off a strong
last period bid by Fowler to win
its 32nd straight contest by a
tight 48-46 score.
Brimley had a 16-9 lead at the
half and expanded it to 41-32
going into the final quarter.
Fowler stepped on the gas with
14 points in the last frame, but
couldn't overtakethe victors. They
came within one point with two
ancda half minutes of playing time
remaining, but guard Ed Waisskey
connected on a foul shot and cent-
er Dick Weston dropped in a bas-
ket to pull the game out of the
fire for Brimley.
Dimondale won the spot oppos-
ite Brimley the hard way, as for-
ward Ken Burns made the vital
basket in a "sudden death" second
overtime to hand his team a win
over Newaygo.

Bill Garrett of Indiana led the

forward is Wisconsin's Ab Nichol-

Bill McNulty for the position.
The center slot was much of a
rubber - stamping proposition,
since the conference's leading
scorer in 1951, Ray Ragelis of
Northwestern, plays that posi-
tion.
At guards are the two best ball-

team and the ever-popularWhitey

MICHIGAN placed only center
Leo VanderKuy in the honorable
mention bracket. No Wolverine
player was selected on the first or
second team.
Indiana, the team that missed
the championship by the width
of a close loss to the fighting'
Illini late in the season, placed
two men on the second squad.
They were Bill Tosheff, a speedy
forward, and guard Sam Miranda.
The selection of Miranda over
Northwestern's c a p a b 1 e Jake
Fendley was one of the surprises
of the poll.
Rounding out the second five
were Purdue's McNulty, Frank
Calsbeek, Iowa's 6'7" center, who
got the nod at the center position,
and Illinois forward Rod Fletcher.
Garrett's point total was 91 (in-
cluding 3 first place votes), while
Sunderlage polled 82 points to
grab second in the balloting. Fol-
