THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE H e yger, De Wolverine Coach Counters Charges of Minnesota Parer mes Ice Professionalism Big Ten Coaches Want More Spring Practices I By ED WHIPPLE Daily Sports Editor Coach Vic Heyliger countered charges of professionalism on his national champion Michigan hock- ey team with some pointed com- anent of his own yesterday., Heyliger vehemently denied charges levelled by a University of Minnesota sports reporter and a Gopher hockey star. "Before these writers start complaining, they should examine the facts," Hey- liger declared. The Wolverine mentor directed his remarks toward an article pub- lished in the Minnesota Daily, stu- dent newspaper at Minnesota. * * * THE STORY asserted, among other things, that "The top hockey universities in the United States make it so lucrative for good play- ers they can't help but accept of- fers. Ask Johnny Mayasich, Min- Tickets for Michigan's first X hockey game with St. Lawrence tomorrow night are on sale this morning at the Ferry Field Ticket Office. After tomorrow noon ducats will be available at the Coliseume. Students with I-D cards may purchase ducats for 60 cents. -Don Weir nesota's freshnian scoring wizzard last year, why two of his Eveleth, Minn., teammates enrolled at the University of Michigan. " 'They made it so good for them, comments Mayasich, that they just couldn't afford to turn it down.' " Mayasich is referring to goalie Willard Ikola and Cap- tain Johnny Matchefts. The article continues, "The University of North Dakota had 15 Canadians on its 25-man hockey roster last year, with only two men natives from the state. The Uni- versity of Michigan did better, or worse, with 15 Canucks of 20 play- ers, and only one from Michigan. "When college teams start load- ing up with Canadians too, things begin to look phony," the Min- nesota paper added. IN REPLY Heyliger asserted, "All but two of our 17 hockey play- ers are working for their meals in Ann Arbor. The other two, Alex McClellan and Ron Martinson, are married and eat at home. Martin- son is subsidized by the GI Bill," the Michigan coach continued. "All 17 maintain part-time jobs," he added, "so I don't un- derstand how anyone can truth- fully claim we are giving them any easy deal." "And I don't see how Mayasich dares to say what he did about Ikola and Matchefts," Heyliger went on. He pointed out that May- asich offered to come to Michigan "if we would duplicate Minne- sota's offer." S* * * THE EVELETH youth made that statement when Matchefts and Ikola discussed with him the pos- sibility of coming to Michigan. "Before Minnesota starts find- ing fault with other schools, they should take a look at their own set up," the Wolverine tutor re- marked. As a freshman last year May- asich set school records for the most goals and most points scored in a single season. He fin- ished second in the Midwest League scoring race. Heyliger had this' to say about the number of Canadians on his squad: "Aside from talent on the hockey rink, Canadians are as a rule better-schooled and therefore better able to meet Michigan scholastic requirements than many Americans. "Four of the all-state high school players in Minnesota last season were all set to enroll here. But they couldn't meet the aca- demic requirements, so they went to Minnesota. Their marks are still on file here in the Regis- trar's office. "Further, because of its nearness to a heavily populated Canadian area border and other reasons Michigan numbers more Canad- ians among its students than any other American university." VIC HEYLIGER ... defends 'M' hockey M' Natators In AAUMeet Matt Mann begins his twenty- eighth year as coach of the Mich- igan swimming team on December 13. That's the date of the twenty- first annual Michigan A.A.U. meet in the Intramural Pool. The Mich- igan varsity will be unveiled against some of the top competi- tion from all parts of the state. Coach Mann has carved out an enviable record during the past quarter century in Ann Ar- bor. His Maize and Blue natators have swept to sixteen confer- ence and thirteen national championships while compiling a dual m et record of 200 vic- tories and only twenty-five de- f eats. Mann has sent more swimmers to the Olympic games than any other mentor and last summer he accompanied the American squad as its head coach. The Yanks came through in great style, taking the championship and adding valuable points to the United States' over- all total. The schedule for 1952-53: December 13...Michigan A.A.U.

Meet-Place Undecided Puck Squad, Ends Drills For Opener Martinson Lone Icer Out of Curtain Raiser Coach Vic Heyliger's Michigan hockey squad raced through its final full scale practice yesterday, before opening the 1952-53 season tomorrow night against St. Lawr- ence University of Canton, New York. The Wolverines came out of the practice at nearly full strength, the only injury of major conse- quence being that of Ron Martin- son, who has been out of action since last week with a broken leg. He isn't expected back for at least five or six weeks. * * * CENTER Doug Philpott, who pivots the second line has been hampered a bit by an ankle in- jury but is expected to be in ac- tion Saturday night. St. Lawrence, which plays Michigan State in East Lan- sing tonight, prior to its trek down to Ann Arbor, vaulted into national prominence for the first time last winter, when its fine record qualified the team for the NCAA tournament at Colorado Springs. Playing in the Tri-State League which includes teams in the New England-upper New York state area, it amassed a record of 15 wins against three losses. THE LARRIES' only previous meeting with the Wolverines came in the first round of the NCAA playoffs last year in which Mich- igan soundly whipped the New York squad 9-3. The Larries' top scorer cen- ter Neale Langill was out of ac- tion in that contest. Langill was the fourth highest scorer in the East as he fired home 28 goals and assisted on 27 others. However the sophomore cen- ter will be on the ice tomorrow night along with eight other let- termen who toiled with St. Lawr- ence last season. Flanking Langill on the Lar- ries' first line will be veterans Mickey Walker and Chet Ste- fanowiz, who scored one of the goals against the Wolverines in the NCAA tourney. Another player very familiar to Michigan will be goalie Johnny Boylan, who despite his rather un- spectacular performance in the 9-3 contest against the Wolver- ines, allowed only 48 goals in 18 games during the regular season for a 2.67 average. PHOENIX, Ariz. - (A )-Base- ball staged a three ring circus with sideshows yesterday. Almost lost in the shuffle was the action of the minors in adopt- ing a new bonus rule, banning re- call of optional players after July 13 except in emergency cases and continuing the present high school rule. DETROIT and the St. Louis Browns started the day with their fourth major swap in 10 months. The Tigers sent pitcher Virgil Trucks, center fielder Johnny Groth and pitcher Hal White to the Browns for outfielder Bob Nieman, catcher J. W, Porter and second baseman Owen Friend.

When Chicago and St. Louis re- fused to renew the American League reciprocal agreement on radio-TV rights, the six other clubs got together on a two-year basis. St. Louis had demanded ei- ther no television or a split of TV receipts on the road. The White Sox agreed. * * * AS A RESULT of the split, the six clubs signing the agreement may make arrangements to beam road games back home to fill in the gap left by the 22 days when St. Louis and Chicago will be in town. Bill Veeck, president of the Browns, surprised the minor league delegates with a revolu- tionary proposal that would have forbidden major league clubs from signing any players with- out previous pro experience. Under Veeck's plan, turned down by a voice vote, all first year mi- nor league players would be eligi- ble for unrestricted draft and would share in 25 per cent of their draft price. OWNERS TANGLE: Baseball Antics Include Detroit-St. Louis Trade R~~e R R 0S Cu CHICAGO -- (A')-- Big Ten football coaches and athletic di- rectors yesterday called for more intensive spring football practice. The proposal, that the present NCAA restriction of 20 practice sessions within a 30-day period be liberalized to permit a flat 30-day spring practice season, will go to the Big Ten faculty committee. If the committee approves it, the fiat 30-day season will be sub- mitted for consideration next month in Washington at the NCAA convention. A SUGGESTION by the football coaches that the traveling squad limit be raised from 40 to 44 palyers was approved by the ath- letic directors.
