SUNDAY, APRIL 1, iRml THE MICHIGAN DAILY in gs Stop 1ce S tout Streak with PAG ETHREE -O in Florida State Wins NCAA Gym Meet All shades of past loyalty flew out the Intramural Building win- dows last night as mighty Bill Roetzheim, a former Illinoisan, put on practically a one man show to give Florida State the NCAA Gymnastic Meet over Illinois and Southern California, who tied for second. Roetzheim compiled 23 of his teams 26 points taking firsts in the all-around and high bar. Only individual champions to retain their titles successfully were Michigan's Ed Buchanan in the trampoline and Syracuse's Leo Minotti in the rope climb. * * * * OTHER INDIVIDUAL titleholders and their events are: Joe Kotys of Kent State, side horse; Jim Beckner of Southern California, parallel bars; Mel Stout of Michigan State, flying rings; and Bob Sullivan of Illinois, tumbling. Following the three leaders were Navy, Kent State, Syracuse, and Michigan State. Michigan with Buchanan and Ettl copping points in the tramp and high bar respectively wound up with eight and a half points which was good for ninth place. Roetzheim with 23 points and Carmen Regna with three counters constituted the Florida State attack which broke up the Illini annual ownership of the NCAA crown. WINNING THE title was particularly pleasing to the habitually smiling Florida State captain for he formerly attended the University of Illinois and was a native of Chicago. Another ex-member of the Illinois official family, Hartley Price, coached the Seminoles to their initial NCAA pennant. Price formerly tutored the Illini to four NCAA titles.

Spring Grid Drills Begin Tomorrow 'M' Must Rebuild Backfield Power By GEORGE FLINT The Wolverine begins its year- ly claw-sharpening tomorrow. Michigan's defending confer- ence football champions take to the Ferry Field turf again for the opening day of the 1951 spring practice season, faced with the problem of rebuilding a backfield and deepening reserve strength on the line. COACH Bennie Oosterbaan will put an expected 100 candidates through preliminary paces. Most of that number are hopefuls from last season's freshman and junior varsity squads. Letterwinners are not obli- gated to take part in the drills, though some veterans do so in order to grab a head start on the following fall's conditioning. With the graduation of Don Du- fek and Charlie Ortmann, who were the offensive standouts in Michigan's Rose Bowl victory, Oosterbaan must find replace- ments at the tailback and full- back positions. IT'S LIKELY that the fullback replacement will have to come from freshman ranks, since Du- fek's stand-in, Ralph Straffon, has also completed his eligibility. Best of last season's freshman fullbacks was rugged Dick Baltz- hiser, from Wheaton, Illinois. He'll get a good chance to dis- play his proclivities duringthe six-week-long spring stretch. At halfback, Oosterbaan has Don Peterson, a letterman, and captain Bill Putich, who could be converted from quarterback. But man Al Schultz, will be vying for a top-drawer spot in the fall grid plans. * * * THE MAIN PROBLEM on the line is at center, where Tony Momsen and Carl Kreager are lost by graduation. Roger Zatkoff ap- All men interested in sopho- more football managers' posi- tions for the fall of 1951 please report to Ferry Field Monday at 3:00. -Lee Stock pears to be a certainty at the line- backing position, but the offen- sive post is open to speculation. Reserves from last season at the ball-snapping post include Wayne Melchlori and Howard Welch. Dick Ylrkosky is an out- standing freshman prospect. Reserve strength is the main problem at the other line posi- tions. Freshmen Gene Knutson and Bob Topp at end; Jim Balog and Herbert Geyer at tackle; Dick Beison and Joel Schmidt at guard will receive careful attention from line coach Jack Blott and Ooster- baan. ALL CANDIDATES will be as- piring to the acquisition of the Meyer Morton award, annual tro- phy given to the most improved player in the spring practice drills. The race for the award ap- pears to be wide open at the pre- sent, with any one of a dozen men appearing to-have a good chance. At other Big Ten schools, spring drills have either started or will start this week. Ohio State's so-near-and-yet- so-far 1950 team is intact for next season with the exception of linemen Tom Watson, Bill Trautwein and Bob Momsen, N and backfield men Chuck Gan- dee and Dick Widdoes. Under new coach Woody Hayes, they started practice last Wednesday and will continue until May 12. Northwestern's B o b Voights faces a greater rebuilding job than does Oosterbaan. He has only three regulars returning from his 1950 offensive and defensive teams. The Wildcats celebrate their centennial year next fall with a schedule which includes games with Army and Navy. The draft will probably be a problem for all teams to contend with, since a substantial number of eligible men will leave cam- puses for the service following this school year. The 1951 conference race may well be decided by the respective strength of the contenders' fresh- man squads. First year men will be eligible to participate starting next fall. -Daily-Roger Reinke SIDE HORSE SOVEREIGN-Joe Kodys, of Kent State College, who won the side horse championship and finished second in all-around competition in the NCAA gymnastics tournament. Marshall Sparks Yale r To NYCA A Swim Victorye Howe Breaks Ice with 2nd PeriodTally Blue Laws End Hub-Leaf Draw MONTREAL - (P) -Big Gordie Howe celebrated his twenty-third birthday by scoring the winning goal as the Detroit Red Wings bol- stered their hopes of a second straight Stanley Cup triumph with a 2-0 shutout of the Montreal Canadiens in the Forum here last night. Detroit now trails Les Canadiens 2-1 in their best-of-seven semi- final Cup series. * * HOWE'S MARKER at 16:23 of the second period broke a string of 2.18:42 scoreless minutes by Montreal goalie .Gerry McNeil, be- ginning after Leo Reise's.goal at 1:10 in the third period of the first playoff game. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Br u in s blttled through one overtime to a one- all the last night in Toronto be- fore a city blue law prohibiting Sunday sports stopped the game at midnight. Bill Barilko scored for the Leafs in the first period and Johnny Pierson tied the count for Boston in the second frame. The game will be completely replayed at some future date, probably after a two-game series in Boston which opens tonight. Captain Sid Abel added the second Wing marker unassisted at 13:25 of the final stanza as he used Canadiens' Doug Har- vey for a screen on a 45 footer that nicked the post on the way past McNeil. Co-starring with Abel and Howe was goalie Terry Sawchuck, who came up with several phenomenal saves in the second and third per. iod to score a well-deserved shut- out. Defensemen Butch Bouchard and Tom Johnson were Saw- chuck's main worries as they bore the brunt of a desperate Montreal attack. Each hit the post twice in the third satnza. Sawchuck stopped 24 shots to McNeil's 31 saves, but the Detroit net-minder had much the tougbar tests. Close-checking playoff hockey by both teams ensued for the first period and a half before Howe came through with his timely goal on an assist from Bob Goldham. Then the Canadiens attempted t¢ speed up play, but they were throt- tled by a Red Wing forechecking barrage.

BUDDING NET STARS Five Freshn Tennis Prae By E. A. WHIPPLE "Varsity tennis stars from fresh- man prospects grow," is an ap- propriate twist to an old saying that makes it applicable to tennis coach Bill Murphy's policy of maintaining a crew of frosh net- ters every spring. Each fall Murphy calls for rookie tryouts to show their strokes on the court, and from these he selects five or six of the most promising to practice with the var- sity when spring rolls around. BECAUSE PRACTICE hag not officially begun, Murphy hesitates to rate this year's frosh squad in- dividually, except in a rough man- ner. However, round-robin intra- squad play will begin soon with Ray Walmouth, Jim Stevens, Farrel LeVasseur, Bob Mitchell, and Howie Willens contesting for the top rung on the freshman ladder. Of these, the two top prospects are probably Walmouth and Ste- vens. The latter hails from Glen- coe, Illinois, where he attended New Trier High School, producer of numerous Wolverine gymnastic stars. "Birdie," as the slender Stevens is popularly known, captained the New Trier netters for two seasons, and led them to district and league the 100-yard backstroke, beating 4 reserve strength is needed, and Ieerehtent imneednad out heavily-favored Jack Taylor Thoman.

The Wolverines' 240-yard shut- tle hurdle relay team of Van Bruner, Jim Mitchell, Wally Atch- ison, and Captain Don Hoover bettered the American indoor rec- ord for the distance but was dis- qualified. TWO RECORDS fell during the evening's program as Don Laz broke his two year old meet mark of 14' 151" in the pole vault with a leap of 14' 2%" and Beloit lowered the college sprint medley record to 3:36.8, .2 of a second under the mark set by Grinnell last year. The Wolverine medley team, which holds the world record of 10:08.9 ran the two and one-half miles in 10:17.8 last night. In winning the relay the Michigan quartet finished ahead of Indiana, Marquette, Illinois, and Drake. Michigan's mile relay was beat- en out by the Elini who covered the distance in the time of 3:27.3. Purdue, Notre Dame, and Iowa followed the Wolverines to the finish line. Whiteaker placed second be- hind the Illini's Lawton Lamb, third place finisher in the Con- ference 880-yard run, in the 1000-yard test last night. Whiteaker, in finishing second, beat out Dewey Johnson - of Drake and John Mohar of Notre Dame. The Wolverines' shuttle hurdle team was disqaulified when one of its runners left his mark too early. The time recorded by the unfortunate quartet was 29.6, one- half of a second better than Michigan State's 1949 record. Missouri won the event with a 30.2 effort. 90P, ?(four ilea~inq Plea4 we WE NOW HAVE: THE AGE OF LONGING-by Arthur Koestler ROCK WAGRUM-by William Scyoran WORLD SO WIDE-by Sinclair Lewis CA INE MUTINY-by Herman Wouk THE RI DDLE OF MAC ARTHUR-by John Gunther SULEIMAN THE MAGNIFICIENT-by Harold Lamb THANKS TO NOAH-by George and Helen Paposhvily a, WANHR'S UNIVERSITY BOOKSTOreE 316 South State Street f a -0 I -- ' STAMP and COIN COLLECTORS Scott's Albums & Supplements STAMP PACKETS . , . 5c & up Coinfolders, Stocksheets, Hinges, and Tongs.
