SUNDAY, MARCH 16, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAGE PAGE o Pucks ters Iwi Third N CAA Cro wn * Round Out Five Season VictorySpan When Michigan won its third NCAA hockey championship last night, they completed one of the finest five year spans in modern Wolverine athletic history. Under the leadership of coach Vic Heyliger, who came to Michi- gan in 1944, the Wolverine puck- sters have managed to compile the amazing total of 100 victories and only 14 defeats in the last five years. This represents a winning average of 87 per cent. The Wolverines have received bids to all five of the NCAA cham- pionship tournaments since they were started in 1948. In that year the Wolverines took a record of 18 wins, two losses and one tie to Colorado Springs. They downed Boston College 6-4 in the semi-finals and Dartmouth 8-4 in the final round, and so emerged as the winners in the first NCAA hockey tournament. The next two years Michigan was invited again on the basis of their superior season's records, but fate was not to give the Wolver- ines a repeat championship on either occasion. In the 1949 classic, when they entered with a fine record of twen- ty wins, two losses'and three ties, they were eliminated by Dart- mouth in the semi-finals, 4-2. 1950 saw the Wolverines lose to Boston University by a 4-3 score, after carrying a 22-3-0 record in- to the tournament. On both occasions even though the Wolverines could not win, they managed to take third place. Colorado College, who like Mich- igan has received a bid to all five tournaments, was the winner in 1950. This is the only time that the Tigers have managed to take home the big prize. Last year's version of the Mich- igan hockey team brought a 20-4-1 record to Colorado Springs and came off with the championship by virtue of its 8-2 win over Bos- ton University in the semi-finals, and 7-1 victory over Brown in the final round. In addition four Wolverines received the distinc- tion of being named to the All- American hockey team. This year Coach Heyliger was forced to come up with new fresh- men and sophomores, to replace the veterans lost from last year. The new men. along with seven returnees developed into a first class outfit and managed to wind up 1wit1y a fine 20-4 record. Whereas in previous years. sea- son's records were used as the only basis for determining the partici- pants in the NCAA meet, this year the Midwestern Collegiate Hockey League was formed, and the top two teams were designated to be the west's participants in the tour- ment. Though Michigan did not man- age to win this year's bid by much, their victory last night proved that they still are the class of collegiate hockey. CINDERELLA TEAM WINS: LaSalle Wallops Dayton, 75-64, in NE NEW YORK-(IP)-LaSalle's un- ranked and unwanted "fuzz kids," paced by a pair of teen-aged fresh- men, avenged a series of snubs to- night by smothering Dayton's tow- ering, experienced Flyers, 75-64, for the 15th annual National In- vitation Basketball Championship. A standing-room-only crowd of 18,485 packed Madison Square Garden to see the climax to the year's most incredible Cinderella story. In an earlier game, St. Bon- aventure won the third place con- solation by smashing a Lethargic Duquesne, the tournament's No. 1 seeded entry, 48-31. TOM GOLA, a muscular, good- looking son of a Philadelphia po- liceman, and Fred Iehle, a slender one-handed pop-in artist who, like Kola, is just 19, provided the im- petus for the triumph by scoring 40 points between them. Gola had 22 and Iehle 18. Thus for the third time during the meet LaSalle humbled one of the teams picked "at large" to represent the east in the NCAA championships, beginning SPORTS HERB COHEN: Night Editor next Friday. The Philadelphian were overlooked when the b1i were passed out earlier ti week. Duquesne and St. John's, w: with Dayton were selected for't National Collegiate championshj were semi-final and quarter-fi victims of the sharp-shooting e plorers. LaSalle threw a collapsing ma to-man defense at the boys fr Ohio and held big Don Meine Dayton center and the ' touri ment's leading scorer, to 13 poin The six-foot-seven Meineke, w: previously had registered 71 poin was limited to four field goals.

The victorious Fordson crew amassed forty-seven points to beat defending champion Battle Creek by ten points. * s * KEN GEST opened the evening's activity with a 24.6 winning effort in the 50 yard free style. This sent Fordson into an early lead which they never relinquished. Bill Black of Fordson set a new state record in the 200 yard. free style when he covered the distance in 2:02.1. This was considerably better than the 2:05.6 with which Black quali- fied for the finals. Jim Kruthers gave Fordson an- other first place when he nego- tiated the 100 yard back stroke in the time of 1:02.2. He then teamed up with Tom Kwasney and Black in a 1:21.4 winning effort in the 150 yard medley relay. * . * RUNNER-UP Battle Creek took two individual championships as John Hubley won the 100 yard breast stroke in the time of 1:04.2, and Jim Taft captured the diving crown.

Michigan's Milt Mead proved that it could be done Friday night when he high-jumped six feet, six and eleven-sixteenths inches to set the only new record in the annual Knights of Columbus games. , , , THE LANKY sophomore was shooting baskets for the Wolver- ine cage varsity less than two weeks ago, and so the only track meet be had participated in be- fore Friday was the Big Ten meet held last weekend at Champaign, in which the best he could do was place fourth. But in Cleveland, the site of the Knights of Columbus games, Mead leaped one-sixteenth of an inch higher than Dick Phillips of Brown did last year in setting the form- r record, and in so doing he pulled down the only first place garnered by the Wolverines. - J FLO'*RSHIM Even the beer turns the color of the Emerald Isle! n ----, * Overtime game SEASON TOTALS: WON 20.
