Staving off a furious last min- ute rally, the Sigma Chi's edged Sigma Phi Epsilon 33-31, while Phi Gamma Delta unleasheda blistering second half attack to down Pi Lambda Phi 45-30. SIGMA CHI, trailing by two *points at half time, due to the scoring prowess of Sig Ep's Syd Cook, opened up in the third pe- riod, and then hung on to win. Sigma Chi's Dick Balzhiser led the third period rally by hitting eight points. With only a minute left in the game, Sig Ep's Cook and Jack Main notched baskets, pulling their squad to within two points of the Sigma Chi team. But Sig- ma Chi held, and wrecked Sigma Phi Epsilon's final bid with only eight seconds left. The loser's Cook was high scorer with 17 markers. In the other semi-final first place play-off game, Phi Gamma Delta, paced by consistent Joe Middleton, roared from behind to blast Pi Lambda Phi, who couldn't keep up the fast pace. MIDDLETON, scoring 17 points for high point honors, kept the Phi Gams in the game in the first ' half, and then turned the reigns over to Al Mann, who sparked the second half rally with eight points. In other "A" league action, Phi Delta Theta routed Beta Theta + Pi 52-19 in a second place semi- final, Sigma Alpha Epsilon gained a forfeit win over Triangle and Zeta Beta Tau smashed Delta Sig- 'Hoop Coaches Name Big; Ten All-rStar Team CHICAGO-Big Ten coaches Wednesday unanimously chose champion Indiana's one-two of- fentive punch-Don Schlundt and Bob Leonard-for the 1953 Asso- ciated Press all-Big Ten team and Ohio State's Paul Ebert. ALL THREE appeared on the } first-team ballot of every confer- ence coach. Tthe other two all- star choices are Chuck Mencel of Minnesota and Irv Bemoras of Il- linois. They piled up decisive, though not unanimous, vote totals. The cage mentors put Schlundt at his regular center position and Leonard and Mencel at their regular guard posts. Ebert, a center, and Bemoras, normally a guard, were shifted to forward. Selection of Schiundt, the 6 foot 9, inch Hoosier sophomore who smashed all Big Ten individual w scoring records this season, was a virtual certainty since early in the season.

Michigan continued to uphold its tradition of fine well-balanced teams with extra strength in the distance events. The Wolverines placed point winners in eleven of the twelve events, failing only to qualify a man in the broad jump. FOR THE THIRD straight year a man wearing the Maize and Blue was the one to break the tape in both the mile and two mile run. It was a repeat victory for John Ross, who last year set the conference record of 4:09.4. This time, however, he was care- ful not to extend himself to the fullest so he could double in the half mile later in the meet. In the two mile George Lynch, who had transfered to Michigan from Illinois, ran one of the finest races of his career, spurred on by the shouts of his ex-teammates to their own two miles, Ocie Trim- ble, to "Get Lynch." * * * IF THE Big Ten had handed out a medal for the most cour- Ohio State Swimmers Win Title- Despite Lack of Depth By IVAN KAYE Depth in talent is usually the mark of a championship team, but this factor was conspicuous by its absence from the Ohio State swim- ming aggregation this season. The Buckeyes, whose varsity never numbered more than eleven, grabbed the Western Conference champions ip last week on the strength o key performances by four swimmers. * * *s IT WAS Ford Konno, who tri- umphed in the 1500 meter free- style, Yoshi Oyakawa, champion in both the backstroke races, Ger- ry Holan, winner in the 200 yard breastroke, and Bob Clotworthy, top diver in both low and high board events, who were the back- bone of Ohio's drive to its fifth straight natatorial crown. Michigan, forced to rely on seconds and thirds, was the vic- tim of stellar performances by swimmers from other schools. These cut deeply into the Wol- verines' point total. Keith Peterson of Northwestern was a definite surprise, capturing the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events. Another surprise was Bum- py Jones' victory over the great Konno in the 220 yard freestyle. .* * * KONNO came down with a case of the mumps on the last day of the meet, following by two weeks the illness of his roommate Dick Cleveland with the same malady. Clotworthy reigned supreme in 'the diving, but last year's low board champ, Morley Shapiro of Ohio State, finished second in the one meter and a dissappoint- ing sixth in the three meter event. The rise of Michigan's sopho- more diver Jimmy Walters con- tinues to amaze Wolverine sports ageous performance of the meet Wolverine Grant Scruuggs would have been a shoo-in. Scruggs had injured a tendon in his leg almost two weeks ago, but it had failed to respond to treatment and remained in- flamed, Friday night he ran two fine races toreach Saturday's finals. In his first preliminary the soph- omore speedster found himself boxed in running way back ap- proaching the final turn, but he broke loose and with a concentrat- ed burst of speed movedup to qualify. * * * THOUGH TRAINER Len Pad- dock worked hard on his foot after the race, by Saturday morning it was stiff and painful to walk on, but he insisted on running and with another dramatic finish, aft- er running dead last till the final turn he finished strongly to take third. The Wolverine mile relay quar- tet of Al Rankin, Bill Barton, Dan Hickthan, and Jack Carroll set a new Michigan varsity mark of 3:18.5 in winning their event. Car- roll, running the anchor leg, re- ceived the baton slightly after Ben Youtsey of Purdue, but immediate- ly took command of the situation and won by five yards. The Wolverines may look with some degree of relief to next year's meet. Seniors on the Illinois team accounted for 22 of their points, while Wolverine seniors accounted for only 9'/2 points.

Lofty Leo Vanderkuy was the last Wolverine to turn that trick, doing so with a 329-point effort in 1950-51. Groffsky, the Maple- wood, New Jersey, hookshot artist, rattled the nets for 106 field goals in 308 attempts and 89 free throws for a 301-point total. HIS FANCY shooting percent- age of .344 also paced the Maize and Blue quintet. Groffsky's scoring prowess, to- gether with that of six other teammates who found the range for 100 points or more on the season, was just about the only solace in the three win, 15 loss Big Ten campaign. These scintillating seven com- bined for the bulk of Michigan's 1551 markers, highest total in school history. The 70.5 average per contest amassed by Coach Bill Perigo's charges established an- other varsity record. SOPHOMORE guard Don Eaddy ranked a close second to Groffsky, pumping in 292 counters to add to his freshman output of 181. The restilting two-year aggregate of 473 gives Eaddy a good chance at Awards Basketball coach Bill Perigo yesterday announced the fol- lowing letter winners: Bruce Allen, John Codwell, Don Eaddy, Paul Groffsky, Ralph Kauffman, Doug Lawr- ence, Milt Mead, Ray Paviche- vich and Bob Topp. Reserve awards went to Ray Kenaga, Leo Schlicht, Jerry Stern and Gordon Tarrant. Perigo also named nine men for freshman numerals. These are: Jim Barron, John Cart- wright, Tom Jorgensen, Gary Morrison, Frank Moore, Dave Parks, Tom Singer, Charles Symmonds and John Vauter. coming close to All-American Mack Suprunowicz's four-year total on the local hoop scene. Jumping John Codwell fin- ished a point ahead of 6-7 Milt followers. From a non-qualifier in 1952 to third place in last week's high board competition has been the progress record of the Kenil- worth, Illinois product. With Clot- worthy graduating, the diving throne of the Big Ten will be up- for-grabs next year, and Walters is sure to be around when the champion is crowned. play.

Every Friday night, at exactly seven o'clock, he'd slide under the door of Baskerville Hall (the main dorm), and give the students all the answers to next week's quizzes. This was quite a set up. No studying, no cramming . . and straight A's all term long. But then, one Friday, the hour came and went. No Leroy! And the following week, all the Baskerville Boys got an F on every quiz! The Friday after that, all of Baskerville Hal waited and waited. But still no Leroy! In high dudgeon, they set out to find him. Creeping into Leroy's haunted cottage ... the Baskerville Boys found him--moaning and groaning. "What's the matter, Leroy?" they asked. Leroy wiped a ghostly tear from his ghostly eye. "The weath- er's so hot, every time I put on a shirt the collar curls and wilts. I haven't been out for two weeks!" in high glee, the Baskerville Boys hurried to the local Van Heusen dealer and bought a dozen Van Heusen Century Shirts with the revolutionary soft collar that won't wrinkle ever. 6 whites, 2 grays, 2 blue and 2 tan ... some with regular cellars,'some with spread collars. At only $3.95 apiece, they thought it was a very good investment. Leroy was delighted. He rewarded the boys with all the answers to the following week's quizzes. Two months later, all the boys from Baskerville Hall had flunked out. Leroy's good-looking Van Heusen Century Shirts made him so popular with the co-eds, that he didn't have time for quizzes or answers.
