WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ____ ___ ____ ___ ___ ____ ___ ___ ___I- - - - -. .1Gy L PA(4R TR1rii7VK~ W% SPORTS SLANTS By Ed Whip ple THIS MAY SEEM wierd, but Michigan's NCAA hockey title was won more than a month ago ... that's right . . . a month ago, Vic Heyliger has made some shrewd moves during his nine years at the helm of Michigan hockey powerhouses, but he'll have a hard time remembering one to top the switch he pulled exactly one month and two days ago. It was gloomy Monday in the Coliseum dressing room. The wily Wolverine mentor had a slumping hockey team on his hands. Its goal production had reached a pitiful pittance. The club had just lost three of its last four games to Minnesota. It was all but eliminated from the NCAA playoffs. To make matters worse, two of Heyliger's best players . . , John McKennell and Earl Keyes ... were no longer eligible.,Something had to be done. More from desperation than anything else, Heyliger stuck Doug Mullen at center between wings George Chin and Pat Cooney at practice that Monday afternoon. It was the first time the three had been on the same line to- gether. They looked good, so Heyliger kept them where they were, and turned the line loose for the first time as a unit against league-leading North Dakota. * * * Player Parlay Pays Off .+.. COONEY, CHIN, and' Mullen tallied seven goals between them as Michigan swept the two games from the Nodaks, and came on to whip Minnesota for the national championship. That line Heyliger threw together in desperation provided the scoring punh that made the title possible. The way Chin, Cooney, and Mullen went on a scoring spree at the same time is all the more amazing when you consider each was playing mediocre hockey until Heyliger put them on the same line together. That was 11 games ago. Since then the trio tallied more points than they did in the first 15 games when they were not playing as a unit. . Chin especially deserves praise. The chubby right winger from Lucknow, Ontario, scored four goals against Michigan State. He tied a tournament record with two goals and four assists for the most points in a tourney contest against Boston University. Just the week before the playoffs the affable lad who has ten brothers and three sisters had been knocked coldern a monkey in an ice house by an illegal check from a Michigan Tech player. When he left for Colorado Springs, Chin could hardly see from one eye That didn't stop him from being the tournament's leading scorer for the second straight year. * * * * Wolverines Slighted .. . IT'S AN OVERSIGHT of some sort that Chin didn't make the All- Tournament team. But he isn't the only Wolverine thus neglected. Although goaler Willard Ikola allowed only four goals in two games, he was paced on the second team ,in deference to Minnesota's Jim Mattson, who let nine pucks past during two games. There'll likely be another oversight this weekend in Boston when the American College Hockey Coaches' Association selects its annual "Coach of the Year." The mentors will probably pick Johnny Mariucci of Minnesota, or one of the Eastern coaches. But my nomination . . . which doesn't count, of course ... goes to Heyliger, for the way he brought his team through when the pressure was really on. The stocky, black-haired Wolverine wizard has done a superb job, even in the face of criticism from near at hand and from as - far away as Minneapolis and Colorado. He has managed to instill; In his players the rare quality of being able to play best when the stakes are highest. That's what makes the difference between a champion and a flop. They came through in the clutch: Chin, the speedy junior who switched to contact lenses at the season's start; Cooney, the hard- shooting left wing who improved with each game; Mullen, the husky red-head, who has the enviable knack of being in the right place at the right time on the rink. Nice Going, Fellows' .. . THEN THERE'S Johnny Matchefts, long on talent and short in1 size; Doug Philpott, the wing who likes to appear casual, butI actually tries harder than most; Quiet Jim Haas, a corking good de-1 fenseman who can play any position and has.4 Also there's Ron Martinson, who looked better each game re-1 covering from a broken ankle and scored three goals one play off game; Bert Dunn, an aggressive defenseman turned forward and Telly] Mascarin, who got the team's first goal of the season.a Alex McClellan, the best defenseman in the United States, even if he didn't score a goal all season until the playoffs . . he stops as many shots as most goalies; Reggie Shave, master of, the golf shot; and Louie Paolatto, the letterman from two years ago who returned to make himself useful. And there's sub goalie Bill Lucier . . . perhaps the third best goalie in the Midwest League, but he has the misfortune to be a sophomore on the same team with junior Ikol, who rates at the top. Nice going, fellows.1 Hoosiers Reach NCAA FinalsI M'Nine Readies For Spring Tilts Last Year's Infield Remains Intact; Haynam, Mogk, Eaddy, Sabuco Back BLUES IN ADVANCE: Wolverine Golfers Lack Experience By PAUL GREENBERG Ray Fisher, the guiding force behind Michigan baseball teams since 1921 is looking forward to another big year in 1953. With his entire starting lineup back from the squad that last year tied for the Conference champion- ship with Illinois, Fisher figures that he has a good chance to go all the way this season. * * * LAST YEAR Michigan paced the Western Conference in team fielding and was fourth in the final batting averages. The slick fielding infield with Captain Bill Mogk at first, lecond baseman Gil Sabuco, shortstop Brucie Haynam and third-sacker Don Eaddy re- turns as a unit. Eaddy, the lithe Grand Rap- ids basketballer, paced Michi- gan Conference hitting with a .310 average while his percent- age in all games was .337. Mogk sticked a solid .306 and Haynam hit .300 even in the over-all per- centages. Righthander Jack Corbett and, portsiders Marv Wisniewski and Dick Yirkoski return as the top three hurlers of the Wolverine mound staff. Ralph Fagg, Bob Carpenter, Jack Ritter, and Gar- by Tadian are all expected to see some hurling action in supportof the top three. IN THE catching department Dick Leach, a solid receiver and a smooth-stroking hitter returns to the post where he saw iron- man service all last season. In the season's batting averages, Leach had a neat .296 mark. Ray Pavichevich, captain-elect of the basketball team has con- verted from first base and will give the catching department some depth. The outer gardens are so well peopled with hopefuls that Fish- er will have a hard time weeding out a starting trio. Fairly well as- certained of his left field berth is Sophomore Paul Lepley, a 1.000 fielder and a .302 conference hit- ter with a .343 over-all mark. Frankie Howell, fleet grid wing- back returns to his center field post where last year he tied for the Big Ten home run crown. In right, Gerry --arrington and Bill Billings, lettermen last year have the inside track, while hurler Cor- bett is expected to see some ac- tion out in the outfield when not drawing the pitching assignment. * * * OTHER ASPIRANTS for -out- field spots include gridders Dan Clie, Bob Topp, Per Gagilis, and catcher Dick Leach's twin brother, Bob. Blessed with a talent-packed outfit, Fisher has a good opportun- ity to pull a repeat of last year's triumph and take his fifth Big Teri bunting in the past six years. But all won't be smooth sailing for the Michigan nine as there are a lot of rugged pitching op- ponents laying in wait for the Wolverines. Such top-line hurlers as Paul Ebert of Ohio State, Paul Giel of Minnesota, Gerry Smith and Clyve Follmer of Illinois, are all waiting for their opportunity to scotch Michigan's pennant hopes. But if the Maize and Blue diamond operatives have improved after their season's experience there shouldn't be anything to stop them. Ross Accepts Michigan's crack miler, John Ross has accepted a bid to ap- pear in the Banker's Invitation- al Mile at the Chicago Relays on March 28th. Ross will be running in the top field that has been gathered for an eight furlong race this year. In addition to the Wol- verine junior, Fred Wilt, Len Truex, Bill Dwyer, and War- ren Druetzler have accepted in- vitations to run. Yesterday in practice Ross sped three-quarters of a mile in the startling time of 2:59.2. Though no appeal will be made for recognition as a record, his performance bettered the exist- ing American indoor mark of 3:02.6 set in 1940 by John Bori- can. The Banker's mile will be the first competive mile Ross has ever run on a board track. BERT KATZENMEYER . .. four gone Phi Delt Five Romps; SAE EdgesZBT ,By GORDON MARS Phi Delta Theta's Jack Corbett sank a phenominal 47 points as his team handed Sigma Nu a resound- ing defeat, 74-16, in the second place finals of social fraternity "B" basketball. The victors held a 25 point ad- vantage at the half. In the second half they poured on the steam to garner 43 points to the loser's 10. IN A SECOND place final con- test, Sigma Alpha Epsilon downed the Zeta Beta Tau cagers, 34-26. Both teams netted 15 points in the second half, but the eight point advantage held at the end of the first half by the Sig Eps proved too much for losers. Sig Ep Carl Corneliuson was the lead- ing scorer with 11 points. Phi Kappa Psi won the fourth place final by downing Theta Xi, 35-22. Cal Kline netted 11 points for the victors. In a second place "B" contest, Sigma Alpha Epsilon turned back Tau Delta Phi, 49-18. SAE con- trolled the game, as it was paced by Dave Rentschler and Ron No- rene, who netted 16 and 12 count- ers respectively. PHI KAPPA SIGMA took the third place final easing past Phi Kappa Psi, 32-22. Jerry Williams of the victors sank 12 points to lead the scorers. The fourth place final game be- tween Delta Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Epsilon Pi was -played in protest. The score was withheld until after discussion of the game. Phi Alpha Kappa dumped Al- pha Kappa Kappa to take the; professional fraternity second place crown, 34-21. Dick Niews- ma garnered 16 counters, and teammate Jack VanderVelde sank 10 points for the victors.

"We've got a very young team which is hampered by lack of ex- perience. I therefore can't hon-. estly say that I expect another championship this season," the affable Michigan mentor warns. ** * AND THEN you take a look around the barren club-house and you see why Katzenmeyer is sing- ing the blues in advance. Four men from last year's outstanding veteran sextet that annexed the conference titleare among the missing faces. Cap- tain Dean Lind, Dick Evans and John 'Fraser received their sheepskins last June. An unexpected loss was that of surprising sophomore Russ John- son, who has decidedto join the army for two years 'and then re- turn to Michigan for two more years of competition. JOHNSON CAME home second in the individual race in the league meet at Champaign last year, los- ing out to Wisconsin's Doug Koep- cke by a single stroke. He also paced the Wolverines to their sec- ond place finish behind perennial champion North Texas State in the Nationals. Still Katzenmeyer has a bet- ter than average nucleus around which he'll form his title def end- ers. Returning lettermen from last season include bespectacled Lowell LeClaire, steady Ann Arbor strok- er, and rotund captain Hugh Wright. * * * AUGMENTING this duo is re- eligible Jack Stumpfig, a letter- man from two years back, who bowed out to scholastic deficiencies 1953 GOLF SCHEDULE APRIL 9-North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C. 10-Duke at Hope Valley C.C., N.C. 18-Ohio State, Indiana and Purdue at Columbus 22-Detroit at Ann Arbor MAY'1 2-Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois at Lafayette 4-Northwestern and Iowa at Evan- ston 9-Michigan State at Lansing 16-Ohio State, Purdue and Michi-, gan State at Ann Arbor 20--Detroit at Red Run C.C. 29, 30-Big Ten Meet at Madison last season. Stumpfig played cred- itably in a regular berth on the 1951 varsity. Veteran Warren Gast, who saw action in a quadrangular meet on the University links in 1952, rates a good chance of gaining a starting berth. Also prominent is Tad Stanford, a footballer who is giving serious attention to the links sport. ,Kattenmeyer will have to rely a great deal on a group of green sophomores up from last year's freshman squad. HIGHLY-REGARDED second- year lean Bud Stevens heads this array of unseasoned performers. Backing up Stevens are Andy An- drews and Boyd Redner, two soph- omores who have shown a lot of potential and might easily cap- ture one of the starting spots. Others in contention for start- ing positions, according to Katz- enmeyer, are Larry Reger, Roger Law, Tommy Shannon and John Baity. Michigan's squad has been work- ing out at the club-house since the first week of classes. Katzen- meyer took his charges out of doors for the first time last week and yesterday the swingers were out once again, in preparation for the season's opener against North Carolina.

MAT95 A pair of sprinters, Don Hill of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Tom Ben- ner of York, Pennsylvania, have been elected to the co-captaincy of the 1954 Michigan swimming team. Hill has been the mainstay of the short distance department of Matt Mann's swimming team. In his sophomore year the tall Ohio- an achieved the distinction of beating Olympic great Clark Scholes of Michigan State in both the 50 and 100 yardraces. The occasion was d dual meet between the intra-state rivals, which was won by the Wolverines, 52-41. IN THIS year's Big Ten meet, Hill was touched out by Northwest- ern's Keith Peterson in the 50 yard sprint. The race was the best ever turned in by the Wildcat ace and established him as a prime contender at this month's NCAA meet in Columbus. Hill has been the anchor man on Michigan's free style relay quartet, which is only a second over the world's record. In this event he teams with Ben- ner, John Reis, and Ron Gora. It was victory in this race, the last of the Ohio State dual meet, which gave Michigan its 50-43 triumph. Benner has and continues to be one of the greatest "clutch" swim- mers on the American tank scene. As an example of showing under extreme competitive fire, it was his fifty seconds fiat 100 that insured the all important free style relay victory in the Ohio meet. He repeated his performance in the Big Ten meet, almost captur- ing the medley relay for Michi- gan. CAMPUS ONLY - 619 East Liberty I , . .. KANSAS CITY - (A') - Indi- ana's "Mr. Inside and Mr. Out- side"-Don Schlundt and Bob Leonard--poured in 52 points be- tween them to lead the Big Ten champions to an 80-67 victory over Louisiana State last night in the semi-finals of the NCAA basket- ball tournament. The Hoosiers, top-ranking na- tionally, will meet the winner of last night's second game involving Washington and Kansas for the championship tonight. A sell-out crowd of 10,500 at the Kansas City Auditorium saw In- diana step off to an 11-point lead in the opening period and win breezing with a fire-engine at- tack greased by the 6-9 Schlundt and his fast-stepping teammate, Leonard.I 1 l i E Prepare for an Executive Career in RETAILING -in just One Year!
