, FEBRUARY 21 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WAGE THREE M'Swimmers Lower Boom on Bainbridge. Sailors EX-CAPTAIN CANHAM: Michigan Thinclads Find Coach's Talent Catching By JOHN JENKS Whenever you watch the Michi- gan track squad in action, you invariably wonder whether or not greatness ever wears off. Are those guys out there really that good, or does Don Canham, their coach, allow a little of his former ability to rub off and inspire his charges to greater heights? THE LAST person in the world to admit such a possibility is Can- ham himself, who is extremely reluctant to talk about his achievements, many as they are. He prefers to discuss the poten-. tialities of the team, both indi- vidually and collectively. But a glimpse at his record only furthers the suspicion that sometimes greatness is "catchy." While attending high school in ''V You'll buy it on sight... THE CHAMP $7.50 hct Do you know what our Oak Park, Illinois, Canham par- ticipated in four events, the hurdle, pole vault, high jump and broad jump. His indoor high jump effort of 6' 3 1/8" still stands as the state mark and only recently was his indoor high hurdle record broken. After a year's wait during which he attended a local junior col- lege, Canham packed his bag and headed for Ann Arbor. IT TOOK HIM two yearsfto regain his high school form after the year layoff, the high point of his sophomore year being a very average 6'2" high jump effort. The cream started to rise in 1940, his junior year. He was the Big Ten and national colle- giate champ that year in both the indoor and outdoor high jump events withr66 3/4" and 6'7 1/4" efforts, respectively. In his senior term he was elec- ted captain of the Maize and Blue cinder contingent and again was Big Ten indoor and outdoor champ. UPON GRADUATION Canham became high school track coach at Kankakee, Illinois, but his tenure was short lived due to the press- ing obligations of the Army Air Force, which he entered early in 1942 as a private. Discharged as a Captain 42 months later, Canham became assistant track coach at his Alma Mater almost immedi- ately. When Ken Doherty, then track coach, left for, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in the spring of '48 the burden of the post fell on Canham. How well he shouldered that burden is evidenced by the fact that his lads have set 13 all-time Michigan track records, and his distance medley teams have estab- lished and broken their own world records. Right now Canham's chief prob- lem consists of devising ways of getting his boys prepared for the conference indoor meet, three weeks away. DON CANHAM . track tutor Skiier Wins Second Title Aniericans Third In Olympic Play OSLO-()--America's 19-year- old ski queen, Andrea Mead Law- rence, picked herself out of the snow after a jarring tumble in the Olympic Slalom yesterday and staged an incredible comeback to win her second gold medal of the winter games. The victory-believed impossi- ble after the daring Rutland, Vt., housewife skidded and fell on the first of two runs down Rodkleiva's hazardous slope - climaxed the greatest showing in history for a United States ski team in the Olympics. * * * THE TALL, slender New Eng- lander became the first American skier, man or woman, to two Olympic titles and she esta 'ished herself as the world's greatest in her specialty. Andrea won the Giant Slalom last Thursday. With 14 events completed and eight to go, Norway led in the unofficial team race with 101 points while Austria was second with 51. The United States, her three-day scoring famine brok- en by the ladies' flashing skis, followed with 46y. Finland came fourth with 41. While championships were be- ing decided on the ski ranges, tempers were flaring hot in the ice hockey tournament which pro- duced the biggest controversy of the 1948 games at St. Moritz. Victors Gain Seven Firsts In 55m38 Win Former Eli Splasher Sets Backstroke Mark By HERB NEIL Matt Mann's Michigan swim- mers easily downed Bainbridge Naval Training Center's squad of Olympic hopefuls 55-38, at the Intramural Poot last night for their seventh straight victory of the season. The visitors, who boast a host of former national champions, were able to garner firsts in only three events, the 200-yard backstroke, 220-yard free-style, and the div- ing. * * * ONE OF THE Bainbridge vic- tories set a new Intramural Pool record. Allen Stack, Olympic back- stroke champion in 1948, glided to victory in the 200-yard backstroke with a 2:12.5 clocking. He broke the old pool record, set by Bumpy Jones against Bowling Green last month, by 1.2 seconds. The Wolverines built up an early 26-10 lead by taking the first four races-the 300-yard medley .relay, .220-yard .free- style, 5-yard free-style, and 150-yard individual medley. John Davies gave the medley re- lay tea mth eneeded spark to win the opening event by cutting down tke Bainbridge advantage from six yards to one yard on his breaststroke leg. Tom Benner then caught and passed Bill Hogan on the free-style to give the Wolver- ines a two-foot margin at the fin- ish. * * * THE NEXT EVENT, the 220- yard free-style, provided the clos- est race of the evening, as Wally Jeffries, Charles Stephanos, and John Ries hit the finish line prac- tically together. Jeffries was named the winner and Stephanos took second, as Ries finished a close third after leading for most of the race. Don Hill and Jones had little trouble winning the 50-yard free-style and the individual medley, respectively; as.4hey added to the Wolverine margin Jones defeated a 1948 Olympic swimmer, Wally Wolfe, by near- ly two yards. Roger Hadlick showed the fine form he displayed while at Yale in his undergraduate days in win- ning the diving. The Sailors' other victory came in the 440-yard free- style, as Stephanos, former Ohio State star, held off Wayne Leen- gran's strong fiinsh. Benner, Davies, and the Michi- gan relay team of Jim White, Dick Martin, Jones, and Hill provided the Wolverines with their final three victories in the 100-yard free-style, 200-yard breaststroke, and 400-yard free-style relay, re- spectively.

Fraternities Reach I=M '1' Play1fo ffs By NEIL BERNSTEIN Chi Phi, Chi Psi, Phi Sigma Delta, Sigma Chi, and Kappa ISigma all advanced into the first place playoffs of "B" basketball as the result of victories in I-M fraternity play last night. Chi Phi came from behind to overcome an 18-10 deficit and de- feat Theta Xi, 23-22, in a tense thriller. Theta Xi scored early and took command in the first few seconds of play. THEY SEEMED well on their way to a first place berth, when the aroused Chi Phi squad sud- denly came to life and started to close the gap. They overtook the Thetas in the last two minutes of play and stalled the game out to gain the victory. Chi Psi steam-rollered their way to victory, with a crushing 35-9 defeat of Pi Lambda Phi. The Pi Lams were unable to hit the bucket all evening long. The Chi Psi's took a command- ing 22-4 lead late in the first half, and coasted the rest of the way. Jules Belkin was high for the losers with six points, and Pete Banzhaf led the vic- tors with eleven. Three other squads all gained the playoffs via the forfeit route; Zeta Psi forfeited to the Phi Sigs, Psi Upsilon to Kappa Sig, and Sigma Pi to Sigma Chi. In other "B" games played last night, Phi Gamma Delta defeated Tau Kappa Epsilon, 28-11. The Phi Gams got off to a 4-0 lead and were never threatened. Ruedi Gingrass and Gordon Hyde led the winners with eight points each, while Andy Touffer scored all eleven points for the TKE's. jPhi Sigma Kappa went wild in the second half to batter Lambda Chi Alpha, 49-27. The game was tight all through the first half, with Phi Sigma Kappa on top by a close 23-18 score. 'V MCHL REPRIEVE: Wolverines Sigh with Nodak Ice Victory "?----- The expression of a condemned man just granted a reprieve brightened the countenance of Wolverine puck mentor Vic Hey- liger yesterday as he considered the implications of North Dakota's 5-4 upset of Denver Tuesday. Heyliger's elation stemmed from the realization that, by beating weak Michigan Tech in their only remaining league game, the Wol- verines can do no worse than tie Denver for second in the Midwest Hockey League. * * * "SHOULD SUCH a tie mater- ialize, season records against Am- erican teams would become the basis for awarding the second western bid to the NCAA tourney," said Heyliger. As chairman of the NCAA se- lection committee, Heyliger says he is responsible for polling coaches Neil Celley (Denver), Amo Bessone (Michigan .State), Cheddy Thompson (Colorado), and Doc Romnes (Minnesota), in case of tie. Mentors whose teams are involved in a deadlock don't vote. Inaddition to its three loop losses, Denver has been licked twice by Colorado, and once by Minnesota, while Michigan has only three league defeats against it. FINAL DISPOSITION of the MCHL standings must await the outcome of another North Dakota game with Denver, and two with Colorado College, plus the Michi- gan-Michigan Tech clash. Colo- rado can clinch 'first by beating the Nodaks twice. Any further vic- tories by North Dakota would benefit Michigan's league stand- ing. The Wolverines have four tilts Two Tourneys Beckon to LIT DETROIT - 0') - Lawrence Tech's point - happy basketball team stayed in the running today for bids to either of two big post- season tournaments. Tech was a leading choice to represent District 23 (Michigan) at the 32-team NAIB (National Association of Intercollegiate Bas- ketball) Tournament at Kansas City. Meanwhile Tech also received a feeler from tly NIT (National Invitational Tournament) offi- cials. They wanted to know if Tech were "willing to be con-, sidered" for the 12-team meet in Madison Square Garden. Coach Don Ridler said his Blue Devils-winners of 21 of 23 4Lmes -wanted to play in a post-season tournament. But he declined to commit himself on either meet pending developments.

In the meantime, the defending NCAA champs take on a rugged Mc- Gill ' University sextet Friday and Saturday in Ann Arbor. This series has no bearing on the NCAA playoffs, but the dis- closure by Heyliger that the games will be contested under National Hockey League rules means fast, rough hockey is in the offing. NHL regulations permit, among other things, bodychecking in all zones.
