AY, DECEMBER 10, 1952 ""HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREI TH MCIGNDAL PAGE THREI Natators' Hopes Rest on Veterans McKennell in Comeback; SparksWolverine Sextet POTENT POINTGETTERS: I j Cagers Far Ahead of Last Year's Pace By PHIL DOUGLIS Michigan's hopes in the fast ar- riving 1952-53 swimming season will be pinned mainly on the in- dividual medley, freestyle and free- style relay events. In the other events, such as the backstroke, breaststroke, medley relay and diving, Michigan boasts plenty of depth, but no outstand- ing swimmers. BURWELL "BUMPY" Jones will pace the field once again in the individual medley. Jones, an Olym- pic veteran, has swept nearly all honors in the event, taking titles in the Big Ten, National Collegiate meet, and both the National AAU indoor and outdoor meets. The De- troit sophomore has set records in all of them except the Big Ten. Jones will be backed up by junior Tom Benner of York, Pa. The freestyle events, both the distance and sprints, will see Michigan again pacing the field. In the sprints, the Maize and Blue will have Don Hill, one of the top sprinters in the coun- try, and Tom Benner, who usual- ly finishes right behind Hill. Other good sprinters include John Ries, Pete Dow, and Don Ferguson. The long distance freestyle events will have Jones swimming again, along with sophomore Ron Gora, another Olympic tankman. Gora did not see action last sea- son, but as a high schooler at Chi- cago's Lane Tech, was undefeated. Wally Jeffries, the captain of this year's squad, will also be in the distance freestyle, along with sen- ior Wayne Leengrin. s s MICHIGAN'S FAMED national collegiate champion freestyle re- lay team of last season will be back intact. The team, which roared to an NCAA meet record of :25.6, is composed of Jeffries, Jones, Benner, and Hill. Of course, Michigan coach Matt Mann will probably juggle the personnel of the relay teams considerably dur- ing the season. The medley relay team is still in a nebulous form, with almost every swimmer on the squad getting a shot at it. In the breaststroke, a team can- not lose the world's number one breaststroker and not feel the loss. This Is the case with Michigan having lost John Davies, Olympic national and AAU breaststroke champ. They also lost Big Ten champ breaststroker Stuart El- liot, co-captain of last years squad with Davies. * * * MANN WILL HAVE to rely on second semester freshman Glenn Miller, Detroit city champ, Ed Fur- Deadline, for independent basketball teams to register at the IM office is Sat., Dec. 13. -Earl Riskey dak, a sophomore, who swam on the record breaking American breaststroke relay squad, second semester freshman BobMarans, and juniors Dick Spero and Tom Case, both of whom haven't seen action for two years, to carry the breaststroke load. The backstroke is similar to the breaststroke situation, with no really outstanding swimmer on call.

He will be backed up by sophomore Don Potter, and Medical school freshman Basil Considine. Diving is also rather weak, but the coaches expect some improve- ment over last season. Sophomore Jim Walters, former Illinois State high school champion from New Trier, will carry the brunt of Michigan's diving chores. Bud Hurd, a sophomore, and Junior Andy White, wall also dive for the Maize and Blue. * * * IT IS unfortunate for Michi- gan that freshmen are barred from competition this season, for there are some of the very fine ones on the way up. The Wardrup brothers from Scotland, Jack and Bert, are examples.. JTack was the captain of the British Olympic team, and plac- ed fifth in the Olympic quarter mile, while Bert was the num- ber one backstroker in the Brit- ish Isles, and placed sixth in the Olympics. Two other top freshmen are the; champion high school backstrok-; er of America, Jim Kruthers, and Don Sharpe, a breaststroker from Australia who finished third in the British Empire games. Other freshmen with promising records include Cris Keller, the high school diving champ of Penn- sylvania, Jim McCullough, the high school driving king from Iowa, Bob Knox, who holds the national interscholastic record in the 100-yard free style and Ray Babin, who was the Detroit back- stroke champion in 1950.; M~ichigan .Rifle Quintet fTakes InitialMatch The University of Michigan Men's Rifle Team won the first of three matches in the Eastern Division of the Big Ten at East Lansing. With the total score of 1395, U-M topped Michigan State's 1379, Ohio State's 1375, and Purdue's 1329. George Beckwith, NR '53, shot 283 points to lead the five-man, team including Ralph Hoffman, Eugene Woodruff, John McCloy, and James Ryan. The team is made up of the best scorers in the U-M Men's Rifle Club of 29 members. Therefore the team may be different students for each match. Although the team holds a postal match every week, when they mail their scores to other schools, they travel to other schools five times a year. By DAVE BAAD John McKennell appears to be well on his way to a fine come- back if last Saturday's hockey game is any indication. McKennell, Michigan's left wing on the first line, looked like the McKennell of two years ago as he darted inside the St. Lawrence defense for two Wolverine goals in the 6-1 lacing of the Larries. * *' * HIS FINE performance raised coach Vic Heyliger's hopes con- siderably since the 22 year old sen- ior's play will have an important bearing on the Wolverines' suc- cess in defending their NCAA championship. Two years ago as a sophomore, McKenneil broke Into the Mich- igan lineup with a bang, bag- ging 31 goals and assisting on 21 others for an aggregate of 52 points, enough to place him third among the Wolverine scorers. This encouraging first season promised a bright future for the Toronto red-head, but for some reason or other, things didn't click for McKennell last year and he was unable to even halve his goal total of the previous season. HE NETTED only 15 goals, and combined with 20 assists, he had a total of 35 points for the year, a far cry from the 52 collected in his initial season. According to Heyliger, Mc- Kennell lacked the aggressive- ness that could have made him a great player last year. He was fancy around the net and a top flight stick handler, but he seemed to have little spark ex- cept in occasional spurts. However, the 1951-1952 season has gone by the boards. Last Sat- urday, the 150 pound left wing brought back memories of his sophomore year, especially with his solo dash that flashed the light on the Wolverines' sixth and final tally. PICKING UP A loose puck in his own zone, he brought the crowd to its feet as he faked past three St. Lawrence defenders be- fore finally discarding the disc behind the helpless Larrie goalie, Bill Sloan. His other goal came early in the second period when he turn- ed a three way pass play into Michigan's second marker. This type of play indicates a great season ahead for the clever left winger and if it materializes, Michigan's already tough first line could become one of the highest scoring units in collegiate hockey. * * * * CAPTAIN John Matchefts and right wing Earl Keyes are the other members of the line. McKennell first started playing hockey in Toronto's public school leagues and gradually progressed in the Canadian amateur hockey ranks, culminating his pre-college career with the Toronto Marlboros of the tough Ontario Hockey League. JOHN McKENNELL ... on comeback trail By DICK LEWIS Pertinent facts in the wake. of Michigan's record-breaking 85-78 defeat of Pittsburgh: Coach Bill Perigo's fast-break- ing Wolverines have racked up 165 points in their initial two con- tests, surpassing last year's two- game total by a full 64 tallies. OVER THE same two-game span, the Maize and Blue defense has allotted 150 scores (a 75-per- game average), 27 more than at the similar time during the 1951- 52 campaign. Things were looking pretty dim a year ago as the Wolver- ines dropped their first two en- counters. Central Michigan hu- miliated the locals, 60-43, and Butler coasted to a 63-53 win. What's more, Coach Ernie Mc- Coy's guards weren't scoring. Five of them saw action against But- ler, and they came out with a net total of only four points. THIS YEAR there has been a complete reversal. Michigan hop- ped on Marquette, 80-72, to sur- pass last year's highest point pro- duction by nine counters, and then went on to turn back Pittsburgh, 85-78, and set a school scoring record in the process. The victory over Pittsburgh was sparked by guards Don Ead- dy, Ray Pavichevich and Cap- tain Doug Lawrence who com- bined for a 40-point output. Other Big Ten hoop squads have been showing signs of point-get- ting power in the two weeks be- fore the eonference campaign gets under way.

CENTER PAUL Morrow collect- ed 25 points in a 76-55 conquest of Marquette, and came back with a 24-point harvest as the Badgers downed Loyola of New Orleans, 81-60. Indiana opened its season by trampling Valparaiso, 95-56, but a field goal with two seconds remaining gave underdog NotreI Dame a surprise 71-70 win over the Hoosiers last weekend. With a dependable pivot oper- ator still lacking, Iowa has split even in two contests, beating But- ler, 62-52, and then dropping s one-point decision to Oklahoma. MICHIGAN STATE captured its opener by 11 points over Marquette and remains idle until the Christ- mas holidays, while defending con- ference champion Illinois is yet to see action. Wolverine Stars Face Vagabonds A duel between two of basket- ball's biggest performers is in the offing tomorrow night when the Ann Arbor Wolverine All-Stars meet a touring Detroit Vagabond Kings five at the Ypsilanti High School gymnasium. Seven-foot Bill Spivey, former University of Kentucky All-Amer- ica, will gain the startingsnod at center for the Vagabonds, while 6=-11 Bob Hahn, erstwhile North Carolina State middle-man, is slated to go for the local cagers. Also in the All-Star lineup of ex-Michigan cage greats are Jiro Skala, captain of last year's squad, Mack Suprunowicz, 1949 All-Aimer- ica selection, and Bill Putich, Michigan's Rose Bowl football captain in 1950.
