TtIURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE U I M SPORTS TRAIL. .. . By Gene Mackevich Now wtih the holidays behind us, intramural sports, like other cpnpus activities, will begin rolling in the new year with a quick two week program highlighting four new winter sports. Heading the I-M roster of events from now until finals will be blasketball, both "A" and "B", bowling, paddleball in the social fra- ternities, and in the resident halls, water polo. j With the teams starting out fresh again, in a sense, with new sports in a new year, let's go back to the completed first third of the intramural program and take a look at the leading squads in their Iespective leagues. Starting with the social fraternities, last year's champion, Sigma Phi Epsilon, is once again leading the field. The Sig Eps have emassed a total of 635 points, 49 better than runner-up Alpha Tau Omega with 586. Other houses in the big ten include Sigma Chi, 558; Kappa Sigma, 534; Phi Gamma Delta, 532; Delta Tau Delta, 528; Delta Sigma Phi, ยง23; Pi Lambda Phi, 513; Theta Xi, 441; and Phi Kappa Tau with 430. These totals include five of the fall sports: football, outdoor track, .ross country, volleyball and wrestling. Topping the big ten in the residence halls is Hayden house, with 603 points, followed by last year's winner, Williams, who l- sports a 588 total. After a little point drop, we find Hinsdale trailing in the third slot with 522, followed by Allen-Rumsey, 506; Wenley, 437; and Gomberg of the South Quad with 410. Rounding out the leaders there is Winchell, Prescott, Adams and Hayden in that order. Interesting to note here is that Kelsey is the first South Quad house to capture a championship in I-M competition. This was ac- complished when the South Quadders downed Hinsdale in the hand- tall finals, 2-1. ;haw Club Leads Pros Moving over to the professional fraternity league we see the Law Club is on top with an even 400 points. The lawyers have won three out of four titles so far this season: football, volleyball and bowling, r.vhile they lost out in the semi-finals of handball to Phi Epsilon Kappa, 2-1. Nu Sigma Nu trails in second with 340 tallies; they are fol- lowed by Delta Sigma Delta, 310; Alpha Kappa Kappa, 305; and Alpha Chi Sigma and Phi Delta Phi who are tied with 285 points. The Turks, who are undefeated in volleyball, lead the Chinese and Arabs in the International Center loop. The Independent league finds the Foresters on top with 392 points. Newman, 365, Hawaiians, 337, Wesleyan, 285, and the MCF with 257 }follow in that order. )IM's'51 Flashback Around this time each year everybody and his brother is picking }the best and worst things that have come about during the course of the completed year. In discussing the intramural program it would be impossible to follow this idea through, but a slight modification- a general sumnation of the better happenings in each of the loops dating back to the beginning of the fall semester-might not be too bad an idea. For example, among the professional fraternities, the Law Club has been all-everything. It may be remembered in five football games the lawyers compiled a total of 151 points while they were able to hold opponents scoreless. Unusual as it may be, the Law Club never punted once in any of these five contests. Two more titles came in volleyball and bowling. In the former they beat Nu Sigma Nu in the finals, 4-2; while in the latter the squad totalled 4,958, which figures approximately 165 average per man per game. A TO on Title Warpath Probably the most outstanding bit of news from the social fra- ternities comes by way of Alpha Tau Omega. Although 49 points behind the league-leading Sig Eps, ATO has managed to capture three first place championships and one second place title during 1951. In the residence halls, the nod again must go to a team that, at the present time, is not leading their loop. The house is Wil- liam$, which trails league-leading Hayden by 15 points. Briefly, that's it. Law Club, ATO, and Williams are nominated for outstanding play during '51. But two-thirds of the I-M program his still to be played out. So, time remains for any other squad to get hot and make an outstanding record for itself. New sports in a new year may give us a new story. arine Boston Star1 May Servef 17 Monthsr Slugger To Take PhysicalApril 2 BOSTON-(A')-Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox $100,000-plus slugger, yesterday was recalled by the U.S. Marines for what is ex- > pected to be at least 17 months of active service. A flying instructor in the Corps from 1943-45, Williams has been ordered to report at nearby Squantum for a physical exami- f nation April 2. If found physically fit, he will start eight weeks of re-indoctrination training at the Willow Grove Naval Reserve Base near Philadelphia on May 2. * * * WILLIAMS, fishing in the Flo- NI rida Keys when the news was re- layed to him by his business man- ager, Fred Corcoran, commented: "If Uncle Sam wants me, I'm ready. I'm no different from the next fellow." 1 Williams, who has a winterH home in Miami and spends most i of the baseball off-season fish- ing, told Corcoran he would re- port for spring training as usual.

LANSING -(P) -Poll or no poll, Michigan State College's football team is the nation's No. 1 in the eyes of the Michigan Legislature. The House and Senate yes- terday adopted a resolution which declared M.S.C.'s team the most "outstanding" and the M.S.C. coach, Biggie Munn, the nation's most "outstanding." would be required to serve 17 months, the statutory limit for re- serve officers recalled involun- tarily. During his three years of pre- vious service, Williams served as a flying instructor at Chapel Hill, N.C., Pensacola, Fla., and at Pearl Harbor. About two years ago, the Marine Corps cir- culated recruiting posters bear- ing Williams' photograph and the slogan "As the Man Who Was A Marine." "Williams will be a terrific loss to us, despite the fact we have seven other outfielders," Cronin said. "We had no warningof his recall. He'll be hard to replace, but we'll make the best of it."

The Westerners, coached by Neil Celley, have ten points, on five triumphs in six loop starts, while Vic Heyliger's Wolverines in second boast six points, hav- ing played one less game and lost one more than Denver. The Pioneers' two wins over MSC were by scores of 8-2 and 7-4. Colorado and North Dakota are tied for third with four points, each having won two out of three. Tuesday the Nodaks downed Mich- igan Tech, 8-4. Denver and North Dakota, top contenders with Michigan for league honors that mean a bid to the NCAA tourney for the first and second place finishers, each have split two game series with the Wolverines. The Nodaks and Pioneers, how- I ever will have a chance to cut each other's throats leaguewise when they clash February 19 and 20 in Denver. LOST: Hockey scoring punch: Maize and Blue; urgently missed, especially against North Dakota: finder please notify Vic Heyliger at Coliseum post haste. After scoring 34 goals in their first five starts, the Wolverines have tapered off, bagging exact- ly half that number in the next four games. "We get the chances," says Heyliger, "but we just can't put the puck in the net." This was particularly true in losses to North Dakota (2-4) and Denver (4-5). Heyliger and his sextet are searching diligently during prac- tice drills for the wayward knack of bagging goals in preparation for this weekend's two game Minne- sota invasion. Friday night's bat- tle is for two points in the MCHL standings. BRIGHTER SIDE: John Mat- chefts and John McKennell, third and fourth high scorers last year, have apparently hit their stride of last season, each kicking up six points against Denver and North Dakota after comparatively slow starts. Also, the third line of Doug Mullen, Bob Heathcott, and Ron Martinson flashed brilliance in the Nodak series. Reg Shave, the big blonde de- fenseman, broke into the scoring column against the Northmen, bagging a goal and an assist. PROGNOSTICATION: Watch for the Wolverines to bust loose and bury some unsuspecting op- ponent with a deluge of goals in the near future. Players of the caliber of Pat Cooney,rEarl Keyes, and George Chin (linemates who have been having trouble denting the twines of late) can go only so long without tallying before something has to give. And if this trio gets going the way Heyliger expects them to, combined with the effective play of the other lines, future foes will be in for some rough goings over. BROTHERLY LOVE: Melvin Mullen, younger brother of Michi- gan's red headed right wing, Doug, has enrolled at Denver and is eligible for immediate hockey competition. Mel, a highly regarded puck- chaser, will help Celley fill the gap left by the induction into the Army of Tony Poernich, forward who appeared against the Wol- verines here before vacation. * * * STANDINGS: Here are com- plete standings to date in the TEAM W I.
