FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Puck men, Back on Homie Ice, Face North DaIkota * * * * Two Teams Seek NCAA PlayoffSpot By JIM PARKER Michigan will take on a tough r North Dakota sextet tonight in the first of a two-game series that will go a long way toward determining the Wolverines' chan- ces to gain their fourth straight bid to the NCAA hockey cham- pionship playoffs., Both tonight's and tomorrow night's games will start at 8 o'- clock at the Coliseum. McEwen After Mark . COMMISSIONER SAYS 'NO': Tonilght! DenySuppressing *i of Fix Evidence * * {+} 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. * * * WITH COLORADO playing a non-district foe this weekend, Michigan must take both games * * * By BYRLE ABBIN 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.

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.
