GROFFSKY MOST VALUABLE:
By DICK LEWIS
Ray Pavichevich, ball-hawking
Hoosier from East Chicago, In-
diana, was chosen captain of the
-1953-54 edition of the Wolverine
basketball team at a players'
meeting held yesterday.
At the same time, sophomore
center Paul Groffsky gained the
nod as the squad's most valuable
player for the season just con-
cluded.
* * *
SOFT - SPOKEN Pavichevich,
successor to another Hoosier, Doug
Lawrence, has cavorted at the
guard and forward spots during
his two years on the varsity, regis-
tering 233 points over that span.
A total of 169 of these tallies have
come in Big Ten competition.
Pavich, as his team-nates
call him, racked up 136 counters
last season; his high-water
mark being 17 in an early-sea-
son triumph over Pittsburgh.
The 5-11 backcourt performer
hit double figures in four other
contests and is regarded by Coach
Bill Perigo as a top-notch defen-
sive player with a special talent
for -stealing passes from the op-
posing team.
* * *
HE ALSO rates as a good man
to have in there when the Maize
and Blue quintet is freezing the
ball.
Groffsky paced all Michigan
point-getters this past season

Coach Cliff Keen, whose Wolver-
ine wrestlers picked up their fifth
Big Ten title last Saturday, an-

tional Collegiate tournament to
be held March 27 and 28 at Penn

Snip Nalon, Andy Kaul, Joe
Scandura, Miles Lee and Dick
O'Shaughnessy all try their luck in
the NCAA festivities, while the
other letter winners were Joe At-
kins, Jack Gallon, Harold Holt,

A reserve award was presented
to Harmon Nine, and freshman

of Michigan's victories. He netted
15 points in the opener against
Marquette, came back with 16
against Pitt, and then rolled up
25 against the Boilermakers.
In Michigan's second Big Ten
win, a 66-61 conquest of Iowa,
Groffsky was red-hot with 18
counters in the first half, finally
winding up with 19 for high point
honors that evening.
Big Grof also amassed 19 in the
defeat of Washington of St. Louis
and responded with 15 in the rec-
ord-breaking triumph over Purdue
at Ann Arbor.
In rolling up his 106 field goals

Snuggled as close as it could get
to the Eastern base of Colorado's
Rocky Mountains stands a chalk
white structure . . . once a mil-
lionnaire's polo palace . . . now
the annual goal of over 50 Amer-
ican college hockey teams.
It's the famous Broadmoor Ice
Palace where Michigan, Minnesota,
Rensselaer, and Boston University
battle these next three days for
the Stanley Cup of college hockey
... a mammouth trophy that goes
to the winner of the Sixth An-
nual National Collegiate Athletic
Association Championship.
THERE'S NOTHING especially
alluring about the rink's physical
properties. It holds only 2200 spec-
tators . . . half as many as Mich-
igan's Coliseum . . . and most of
them have to sit at either end.
It has no dressing rooms. The
players change clothes in the
Broadmoor Hotel, walk a quarter
of a mile around a scenic lake
to the Ice Palace, and put on
their skates in the back room.
After the game, they reverse the
probedure.
Such poor facilities result from
the rink's origin. It was put up by
Spencer Penrose, who made mil-
lions on Colorado's famous Crip-
ple Creek silver mine, and spent
them building the Broadmoor
Hotel resort.
* * *
HE HAD BUILT an indoor rid-
ing academy and polo practice
palace in 1928, but none of his
guests used it. Then Penrose saw
an ice show in London to prompt
the conversion of his horse-go-
round into the Ice Palace in 1938.
Colorado College hockey teams
have used it since then, and na-
tional figure and speed skating
championships have taken place
there in addition to the NCAA '
puck tourney. All sorts of an-
imal heads still adorn the walls
of the Ice Palace as a reminder
of its days as a horse arena.
Why do hockey players feel so
lucky if they're members of one
of the four teams picked each year
to make the Broadmoor trip? {
How do you get
One answer is the men's Management Training Program
of the Bell Telephone System. It leads to an interesting job
with good pay and a solid future. To get the facts, see rep-
resentatives of Michigan Bell Telephone Company who

Here are answers to a few of your questions:
WHAT IS MANAGEMENT TRAINING?

Management positions in the Bell System,
WHERE WILL I WORK?
Probably with Michigan Bell Telephone Company, although a
few may work with other divisions of the Bell Telephone System.
IS ANY SPECIALIZED BACKGROUND REQUIRED?
No. College graduates need neither experience nor special
training.
Opportunities are unlimited in the fast-growing Bell System!
MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY
IT'S THE atmosphere . . . the
rarified atmosphere of mile high
Colorado Springs. From the time
the special plane importing the
competing teams lands, there's a
real carnival spirit displayed by
the officials of Colorado Springs
and the Broadmoor . . . located
aig fw iesoutside of town in
sight of Pike's Peak.
Old Spencer Penrose really
outdid himself on his Hotel. It
boasts (in addition to such com-
mon things as tennis courts and
bowling alleys) horselack rid-
ing, a gigantic golf course, a
movie theatre, an outdoor stad-
ium, indoor and outdoor swim-
ming pools, a railroad up the
side of Cheyenne Mountain be-
hind the Broadmoor, green-
houses, stores, and, of course,
the Ice Palace.
The players have the run of the
hotel. Guided tours around the
scenic countryside are also ar-
ranged for them. Michigan's play-
ers have been there so often they
forego the tours. They are famil-
iar enough with the place to ex-
change first names with the bell-
hops and clerks upon arrival.
S * *
MICHIGAN PLAYERS are re-
garded with a jealous respect by
the rabid Coloradans. They haven't
liked watching the Wolverines take
three championships from under
their noses.
When they're not working out,
sleeping, or eating, the Wolver-
ines spend most of their time
lounging beside the heated out-
door pool. And their main topic
of conversation, believe it or not,
is hockey. In spite of other di-
versions, every player has come
900 miles with the idea of win-
ning.
Come game time Penrose's old
polo palace is jammed to the raft-
ers. The Springs ... home of Col-,
orado College ... goes hockey hap-
py. Last year tourney officials had
a difficult time procuring a ticket
for an important person like the
town's mayor.
Why is the tourney always held
at the Broadmoor? You have to
see it once to understand why no
one else could stage it like the
Broadmoor does, footing all the
expenses from the time each team
leaves home until it's back again.
The Colorado folks do such a
good job no one cares that the
games are played in a 25-year old
polopalace. They make hockey
king.
