Michigan will take on a tough

pionship playoffs.,

AT THE present, three teams,
Michigan, Colorado College and
North Dakota are the top three
contending clubs for the two bids
from the Western NCAA district
to the four-team tournament that
will again be held at Colorado
Springs, March 15, 16 and 17.
The two teams from the
Western district will be selected
at a later date on- the basis of
their records against teams in
their district.
Michigan owns the top record
in Western district play with a
7-2 won-lost mark. Colorado is in
a close second with 9 won and 3
lost and North Dakota follows
with a 53 mark.

Don McEwen's attempt to run a nine minute two mile, and in the
process break two world records, will be the big event tonight as the
Wolverine trackmen play host to the always tough Michigan State
Normal team at Yost Fieldhouse at 7:30 p.m.
Coach Don Canham is giving McEwen his biggest chance of the
indoor season as far as the two mile race is concerned. The Canadian
Ace is entering the sixteen lap grind only, whereas he usually ran
the mile run followed by his favorite two mile just a half hour or so
later, naturally slowing the time on his always good performance.
ALMOST ASSURED of being bettered by McEwen is his own in-
door dirt track college and world record of 9:06.9 set last year. Also
in danger, but more remotely so, is Don Lash's time of 8:58.3, the all-
time record by a college runner in the two mile, set outdoors in 1936.
Catching the second spotlight will be the Hurons' great dash-
man Jim Bibbs. Bibbs tied the Yost Fieldhouse and set a new
Michigan AAU record last month as he ran a :06.2 60 yard dash
here i1n the Michigan AAU meet.
Giving the MSNC speedster his main competition will be Wolver-
ines Bill Konrad,, Dave Stinson, and John Wilcox.
THE 440 YARD dash will also find the Hurons giving Michigan}
top competition, as they have two men, Stan McConnor and Ab Ulmer,
who have quite often done the distance in less than fifty seconds flat.
Sophomore dashmen Al Rankin and Joe LaRue lead the Wolverine
cause, with both approaching fifty flat as their best time.
Because of this abundance of top quarter-milers on both
squads, a very tough fight is expected in the mile relay race, with
a resulting good time from the intenseness of the competition.
Some switching and experimenting is planned by Canham as he
runs his men through their last meet before the Conference Indoor
Meet to be held at Champaign Marsh 2 and 3.
* * * *
AARON GORDON has been shifted from the mile to the two mile
run, a race he had considerable experience with last year. Del Hyde
is being shifted from the two mile to mile run, leaving Bill Hickman
as McEwen's second Wolverine competitor. Ed Aylmer, Normal's Na-
tional Junior cross country champ is also looked on to give the Ottawa
junior stiff competition in his title bid.
NEW YORK-()P)-A newspaper1
report of a fix involving every me-j
tropolitan basketball team thatj
played in Madison Square Garden
last season was denied today by
New York's former police commis-
sioner.
Former Police Commissioner
William P. O'Brien, who was in
charge of the department a year
ago, declared:
"I want to make a general de-
nial that any recordings were
ever suppressed. To my know-
ledge, no recordings were ever
made. Positively none were ever
called to my attention."
Earlier, O'Brien's successor, Po-
lice Commissioner Thomas- F.
Murphy - in office o n 1 y five
month-said he had no informa-
tion on such evidence or its sup-
pression.
But he asked Chief Inspector
August Flath to dig into the files
and see what he could find.
The Brooklyn Eagles described
the evidence as 40 wiretap record-
ings made during the 1949-50 bas-
ketball season.
THE NEWSPAPER said the
wiretaps indicated a huge fix "in-
volving every metropolitan team
that played in Madison Square
Garden."
The Eagle did not say 'who
allegedly suppressed the wire-
taps but referred only to a
"higher authority." The news-
paper added:
"The publication of this data, it
was said, would result in driving
every college team in the city out
of the Garden."
District Attorney Frank S. Ho-
gan, in the midst of a probe into
the latest and biggest of four col-
lege basketball scandals since 1946
said he knew nothing of any such
evidence.
* * *
HOGAN has said that wiretaps
helped him crack the present col-
lege fix case involving eight play-
ers from Long Island University,
City College of New York and New
York University.
Seven of them played this sea-
son and one captained last sea-
son's LIU team.

Tigers Open
Spring .Drills
For Pitchers
LAKELAND, FLA.-(P)-With
the last of its main-line pitchers,
Freddie Hutchinson, signed to a
1951 contract, the Detroit Tigers
openedi spring drills here yester-
day for its hurlers and catchers.
The group breezed through a
15-minute, ball-tossing warmup
and then took a few fat-burning
laps around Henley Field in 73-
degree weather.
OUTFIELDERS and infielders
do not report until March 1.
Hutchinson inked his 1951
contract only yesterday, plunk-
ing it into the mails barely in
time to avoid a "holdout" status
and get into the opening prac-
tice. All the other first string-
ers signed ahead of him.
Rolfe took a critical and far
above the average interest in the
workout of Virgil (Fire) Trucks,
who developed a lame arm and
was out most of last season after
winning 19 in 1949. He had a
3-1 record last season.
Trucks said his arm felt "pretty
good" and he expected it "to come
around." It didn't bother him in
gymnasium pitching practice dur-
ing the winter or in pre-practice
warmups here, he told reporters.
Rolfe is counting on Trucks and
rookie Sol Rogovin to take up
some of the pitching punch lost
when Art Houtteman, a 19-game
winner last year, was called into
the army.
