Vic Heyliger's puckmen, return
to Mdiwest Hockey League compe-
]tition tonight when they battle
the Michigan State Spartans in
a loop tilt at East Lansing.
The Wolverines will be trying to
return to winning ways again after
k two setbacks this past week-end
at the hands of the Redmen of Mc-
Gill University. On three previous
occasions this season, the Maize
and Blue found the Spartans to
their liking, and defeated them
each time.
DESPITEdPAST victories of 6-
0 10-2, and 4-0, the Michigan
squad will be out to win this
fourth game in convincing style.
A victory over State coupled with
two wins over Michigan Tech this
coming week-end in Ann Arbor
is needed to assure the pucksters
of a tie for first place in the MCHL.
Michigan, currently resting in
fourth place in the league, has
compiled a total of 14 points on
9 wins and 4 losses in confer-
ence activity. However, Denver
and North Dakota, who rank
ahead of the Wolverines in the
standings, have completed their
schedules.
Johnny Mariucci's Minnesota
Gophers, now co-holder of first
place with the Nodaks, have racked
up 17 points in league play and can
add two more points to that total
if they defeat last place Michigan
State this week-end.,
THE WOLVERINES, by win-
ning their three remaining games,
can add five points to their total
and tie with Minnesota for the ti-
tle.
By winning only the games
with Michigan Tech, the Maize
and Blue pucksters will finish
the season with 18 points, which
is still enough to finish second
in the league and guarantee
them a spot in the NCAA cham-
pionships a# Colorado Springs
later this month.
Getting by Michigan State is
the current problem, however. Des-
pite the Spartan's poor record to
date, Amo Bessone's icers have on
several occasions this season lost
extremely close hockey games with
strong MCHL teams.
LED BY sophomore center John-
ny Mayes, the I Michigan State
squad forced both Colorado Col-
lege and Denver into overtime be-
fore dropping decisions to each.
Against North Dakota, Mayes
scored four goals while his team
dropped a 5-4 decision.
Adding to Heyliger's worries is
an injury to Pat Cooney, left wing
on the second line. Cooney was
slashed on the foot by a hockey
stick in the McGill game last Sat-
urday'and will not be playing at
peak efficiency tonight.
All factors of team strength
aside, Michigan is still in no posi-
tion to look at past records. After
dropping a pair of decisions to a
supposedly weak McGill sextet,
the Wolverines will have to be at
their best if they expect to turn
back the Spartans for the fourth
time.

Michigan, Illini Thinclads .Duel
This Weekend in Big Ten Meet
By JIM DYGERT
Rooters for both teams have long awaited the 1953 showdown be-
tween the Wolverine track squad and the University of Illinois cinder-
men.
The duel will take place on Friday and Saturday of this week in
the guise of the Western Conference Indoor Meet at Champaign, Il-
linois. Michigan, headling the entry list with 34 men, rates ,,as pre-
meet favorite because of excellent team balance and great strength
in the middle distance runs.
* * * *
ILLINOIS, however, has taken two straight indoor titles and
holds a like record for the 1951 and 1952 outdoor championships. On
the basis of dual-meet performances this year and individual cham-
pions, Michigan and Illinois are expected to completely dominate
the meet. Only Iowa is conceded even an outside chance of upset.
The other Big Ten members are concentrating on individual
titles, leaving Illinois, the defending champion, and Michigan,
runner-up by six points last year, to battle for team honors.
Three Wolverines return as defending champions while Illinois
boasts two title-holders. For Michigan, Fritz Nilsson will defend his
his title in a shot-put; John Ross will try to better his Big Ten indoor
record of 4:094 in the mile; and captain Jack Carroll will start the
440 as defending champion.
ILINI JOE McNULTY and Willie Williams will be defending their
titles in the high and low hurdles respectively. Michigan will coun-
ter with the speedy Van Bruner in the hurdles who will also have
stiff competition in the lows from Tom Hughes of Purdue and Joe
Corley of Illinois. -
Nilsson's only serious threat is expected to come from Illinois'
John Bauer, who threw the 16-pound weight 52 feet 21/ inches in
a dual meet earlier this season Nilsson won last year with a toss
of 53-7%.
The mile event may produce the feature of Saturday's finals. Back
to challenge Ross are such brilliant performers as Walt Jewsbury of
Illinois, Jack Hagan of Indiana, Iowa's Rich Ferguson, and John
Stayton of Purdue.
The 880 will be filled with excellent performers spearheaded
by Siders, conference outdoor champion, LeRoy Ebert and Ted
Wheeler of Iowa, and Roy Christiansen of Michigan.

Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Lamda
Phi and Phi Gamma Delta fought
their way into semi-final first
place playoff berths in the frater-
nity "A" Basketball league last
night as they triumphed in quar-
ter-final games.
The Sig Eps roared from behind
to nip Phi Kappa Sigma 44-40, as
Syd Cook led a fourth quarter ral-
ly. Cook, high pointman with 11
tallies, was the key man as the
Sig Eps hit for 17 points in the
final period to Phi Kappa Sigma's
5. The win pairs Sig Ep in a semi-
final bracket with Sigma Chi in
the first place playoffs.
PHI LAMA PHI, sporting a
rugged and well balanced attack
defeated Alpha Delta Phi by a 43-
34 margin. With Howie Guggen-
heim netting 12 points for high
point honors, the Pi Lams led all
the way.
In another first place playoff
quarter final game, Pete Paulus
netted 25 points to lead Phi
Gamma Delta to a runaway 53-
31 win over Sigma Alpha Mu.
Although the Sammies were only
two points down at the half, they
couldn't cope with the Phi Gam
attack, and completely disintegrat-
ed in the fourth period, being out-
scored 15-2. The triumphant Phi
Gams will face Pi Lamda Phi in
the other semi-final game.
THREE SECOND place playoff
games saw Phi Delta Theta, Sig-
ma Nu, and Beta Theta Pi gain-
ing semi-final berths. The Phi
Delts squeaked by Lamda Chi Al-
pha 32-30, with Rusty Swaney
leading the attack.

INDEPENDENT SWIMMING
CHAMPIONSHIP
Newman Club 56, Standish-Evans 18
Michigan swimmers have held
their own this season when it
comes to the breaststroke, back-
stroke and individual medley
events.
The individual medley is defin-
itely one of the strongest depart-
ments on Matt Mann's squad. This
is due of course to one man, soph-
omore Burwell (Bumpy) Jones,
who prepped at Detroit Redford
High School.
JONES IS perhaps the number
one individual medley man in the
world today, attested to by the
long strong of records he owns,
and his unbeaten season record.
Mann has two men behind
Jones in this event. They are Ed
Furdak, a *speedy 19 year old
sophomore from Dearborn, and
Barry Wayburn, a Detroit soph-
omore.
Furdak came into his own dur-
ing the latter part of the season,
taking a first against Minnesota,
a second in the Iowa State meet,
and a third against Ohio State.
WAYBURN, who a few years
ago was seriously injured inan
auto accident, has come a long
way toward regaining his old form.
This was in evidence recently
when he took a second against
Minnesota. Also among his ac-
complishments was a third against
Northwestern.
Backstroke at Michigan can
be summed up in just two words
-John Chase. The 19 year old
junior from Grosse Point is def-
initely the Wolverines biggest
threat in this event.
BUMPY JONES
. . . medley master
Chase, consistently in the run-
ning, looked excellent as he rolled
to first places against Iowa State,
Northwestern, and Iowa, and sec-
ond places against Michigan State
and Ohio State.

SOLACE FOR CAGERS:
Sad Home Stand Has Happy Ending
By DAVE LIVINGSTON
If someone unacquainted with
the situation were to take a quick
glance at Michigan's cage record,
from the scores of the first and
last home games he might get the
idea -that the Wolverines haCi
fared pretty well in the hardwood
wars.
The current edition of Maize
and Blue talent opened the cam-
paign before the home folks three
months ago with a resounding 80-
72 triumph over Marquette, while
Monday night Coach Bill Perigo's
basketballers rolled up a record
99-81 score in their Yost Field
House finale.
* * *
IT HAS BEEN the 18 contests
played between these winning ef-
forts, however, that have bothered
Perigo-to say nothing of Wolver-
ine fans.
Michigan notched four victor-
ies in that long skein, including
only a pair in Big Ten competi-
tion.
But Monday's high-scoring win
managed to give the local cage pic-
ture a little brighter hue, lifting
the Wolverines out of the confer-
ence cellar a half game ahead of
their victim, Purdue.
* * *
PERIGO'S FIVE now has a loop
record of 3-13, as against a 3-14
' mark for the Boilermakers. With
two more tilts to be played (at
*Michigan State and Ohio State),
Michigan holds anmathematical
chance to tie Northwestern for the
eighth slot in the Big Ten title
chase.
To accomplish this the Wol-
verines would have to cop both

their starts while the Wildcats
drop a pair. Purdue finishes its
season Saturday night at Iowa.
With some shooting such as they
exhibited against the Boilermakers
Michigan's cagers could give both
the Spartans and Buckeyes rough
times in their coming battles.
* * *
THEY BLISTERED the Pur-
due nets with 37 of 90 field goal
attempts for a potent 41.1 per-
centage, their best of the season.
For the first time Perigo had
a chance to clear the bench as
nine Wolverines broke into the
scoring column, six of them
reaching double figures..
Center Paul Groffsky added 15
points to the cause to maintain
his spot as the team's top point-
getter, while Don Eaddy netted
19 to gain honors for the night
and stay right behind Groff sky
in season's totals.
Groffsky now has dunked 99 of
289 field goal attempts for a .342
percentage. Eaddy has made good
on 102 of 351 shots for a .291
average.
