Y 14, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Eree Stylers Pace Spartan Tankmen THE MORNING LINE By TED PAPES Daily Sports Editor MSC Meets 'M'Puckmen Out To Extend MICHIGAN STATE IS GETTING too big for its britches. Puffed up by an undefeated football season plus other admirable accomplishments in college sports, the athletic department through its publicity megaphone is beginning to shoot off its mouth in an extremely ungentlemanly way. Other Big Ten schools which have generally observed an unwritten code of behavior on and off the playing field are quickly coining to regard the Spartans as hoodlums. , , * * Spartan Ghost Speaks Up THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT in State's public relations finds some mysterious spokesman (could be anyone from the president down to a railbird at basketball practice) pointing a two-pronged shaft of criticism at Michigan athletic policy. (See story on page one.) The charges are first, that Michigan publicizes its acquisition of good sports prospects before they have decided to come here, thus pressuring them to enter, and secondly that it is unfair to publish ia list of players declared ineligible because of deficieitschool work. Both allegations appear to be a cover-up for Spartan malpractices. The first one is a feeble attempt to vindicate the recent raid per- petrated by Michigan State outlaws who virtually lured young Jerry Musetti out of his South Quadrangle bed and spirited him off to the Spartan football factory after it had appeared that he was all set for an education and incidentally some gridiron fame with the Wolverines. Is that what the mystery man means by 'premature' publicity? Chances are the high pressure salesman from East Lansing used some- thing more than lollypops to get the Detroit high school halfback wizard to switch allegiance. * * * * Guess Who's ineligible? E SECOND ACCUSATION IS a more obvious dupe. State ob- serves an eligibility policy which is remarkably convenient for a school which twists its classroom procedures to fit the lineup needs of its varsity athletic teams-it does not disclose who is ineligible. Isn't it strange that practically every Western Conference school has listed in the last couple weeks the names of varsity players who cannot compete during the next term, while the Spartans remain innocently silent and continue to field the same combinations in its games and meets? What important player in recent years has been sidelined for aca- demic failure at State? Could it be possible that the brilliant students g flocking to a new mecca of higher education, or could it be that 4ome slick behind-the-scenes maneuvering by coaches and professors are keeping some green-shirted meatheads in action? The State spokesman would like Michigan to join in this shady procedure, claiming that it's unfair to the athletes to make their shortcomings known. Wolverine fans have a right to know why some of their favorite players disappear from the scene, and the current Michigan policy is straightforward with no reflection cast on individuals. This school can be proud of the fact that education comes first. The administration has enough fortitude to sideline an Olympic pros- pect if he cannot qualify in the classroom. * * * * Freshman Rule Obsolete MICHIGAN WAS PROBABLY the hardest hit Big Ten member when the list of ineligibles was made known. All four major winter sports teams were weakened by key losses. The fact that nine of the 14 men who failed were freshmen brings' an Important policy problem into focus. The Conference ruling which permits first-year students to compete ,in varsity sports is having bad repercussions in the form of wholesale academic failure. Entering Michigan is somewhat of a traumatic experience for the average student. The initial semester should be devoted entirely.to ad- justment to the pressure of textbooks, then attention can be directed toward extra-curricular interests. The rule was devised to make up for anticipated losses to the armed forces, but most college students are deferred until graduation now. > Perhaps the wisest move would be to abolish the practice of using new students until such time as the draft begins to drain manpower from the campus. Michigan should be a leader in such a movement. " Anyone who jeopardizes his academic future to play ball his first year is running the risk of finding himself suddenly suited up in a khaki uniform after being dropped from school. The coaches are awars of the danger and they do considerable checking into the classroom progress of their players, but the results show that their vigilance was not effective enough.

The scheduled starting time is 2 pm. IN SCHOLES, the Spartans have one of the outstanding short distance swimmers in the coun- try. The 21-year-old native of Detroit's Redford High School won both the Big Ten and NCAA 50 and 100-yard free- style events last year. Ile also led the MSC squad in points scored during the 1951 cam- paign. McLachlan is the Spartans' hope in the long distance free- style events. A junior from Den- ver, Colorado, he is the defending Conference champion in the 220 and 440-yard distances. In the 1951 NCAA m e e t McLachlan placed second in the 1500-meter event.

The Spartan tank- me h a d submerged Bowling Green, Iowa State, Indiana, and Purdue before bowing, 53-40, to Mike Peppe's Buckeyes. Matt Mann's unbeaten Wol- verines will be out to avenge last year's 55-29 reversal at the hands of the Green and White. The Michigan mentor will prob- ably oppose Scholes with Don Hill, the sophomore spring sen- sation from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Tom Benner, of York, Pennsyl- vania. The task of beating Mc- Lachlan will in all probability be entrusted to Burwell "Bumpy" Jones. Jones cracked McLacnlan's 220- free style record by 1.7 seconds when he swam a 2:09.2 race at Minneapolis last Saturday. The previous time of 2:10.9, recorded by McLachlan, had been the rec- ord for the University of Minne- sota pool. This is the twenty-ninth meet- ing between Michigan and Miehi- gan State. The Wolverines have won 26 and the Spartans two. LATE HOCKEY SCORES New York 6, Boston 2 Detroit 3, Toronto 1 HAIRSTYLING TO PLEASE:!!

The streak has crept up gradual- like, being spread through two va- cations. Michigan last lost, 4-2, at North Dakota early in January and since then the Maize and Blue have licked Minnesota four times, Michigan Tech twice, and MSC once. Strictly on season records, the Colorado series, which will de- termine whether or not Michi- gan gets a bid to the NCAA tourney for the fifth straight year, is a tossup. The CC Tigers have triumphed 13 times in 16 starts so far, which is identical to the 13-3 Maize and Blue record. Midwest League standings show the two teams tied for second, with °14 points, al- though the Rocky Mountaineers have played one less league game.
