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 Nine IWrestling Letters Given Coach Cliff Keen, whose Wolver- ine wrestlers picked up their fifth Big Ten title last Saturday, an- nounced yesterday the recipients of varsity letter winners. Of the nine men earning the awards, five will enter the Na- tional Collegiate tournament to be held March 27 and 28 at Penn State. 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, and Bronson Rumsey. A reserve award was presented to Harmon Nine, and freshman numerals were given to Charlie Anderson, Don Haney, Frank Kirk, Bob Knutson, Ray O'Shaughnessy, John McMahon, Jack Porter and Mike Rodriquez. rk- I Pavichevieh Elected New Cage Captain RAY PAVICHEVICH . . . cops cage captaincy * * * with 301 counters in 22 contests for a 13.7 average.

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 and 89 free throws, Groffsky also paced the Maize and Blue quintet with a .344 shooting percentage. y By ED WHIPPLE Daily Sports Editor 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 will be here for personal interviews at BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PLACEMENT OFFICE -MARCH 17 Here are answers to a few of your questions: WHAT IS MANAGEMENT TRAINING? A training program, with pay-and regular increases-for future 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.
