/ FiDAY, JANUARY 8, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ________________________________________________________________________________ I U 'M' Sextet Battlesr Spartans Tonight Lansing Clash Vital to Wolverines; Teams Play in Ann Arbor Saturday January Sports Schedule BASKETBALL Bulletin Michigan State's top hockey scorer Johnny Mayes and its best defenseman, Henry Campa- nini, have been declared ineligi- ble for this weekend's series with Michigan, for not making suffic- lent grades last semester. Mayes and Campanini will be ineligible until the end of MSC's present quarter, thus dealing a near fatal blow to the hopes of Amo Bessone's squad. Michigan's slumping hockey squad opens a vital two game home andbhome series with Michigan State tonight in East Lansing as it desparately tries to gain ground in the WIIHL race. The Wolverines, currently in fpurth place in the league stand- ings, have yet to notch a victory and are a full eight points behind the league leading Sioux of North Dakota. The Nodaks meet second place Minnesota this weekend in Grand Forks, and if the Gophers fall, North Dakota will be odds on favorite to win the title. AMOS Bessones' Spartans will not be a pushover for the Wolver- ines as in recent years, for Michi- gan\coach Vic Heyliger has indi- cated that the Wolverines are weakened by injuries and that team spirit is not exactly at a peak. Though forward Jay Goold's leg has healed enough to allow him to play tonight, the Wolver- Ines are still not in top shape. Lou Paolatto, the big defense- man, is ailing with a broken nose, and Heyliger is not sure how much action either he or Goold will see in the series, which winds up tomorrow night down at the Coliseum. Michigan has won 16 consecu- tive games from Michigan State, not having bowed to the Spartans since 1927, when the Green and White won its only game of the entire series. * * * HOWEVER, coach Bessone will have better than average players on the ice for the pair of one point games. The Spartans will be led by honorable mention All- American center Dario Nicoli, who teams with the fleet duo of Wel- don Olson and Jack Mayes on the front line. Olson was the Spartans' most valuable player last season and set a team record in assists, while Mayes was named as most valuable in 1952, and holds team marks in goals scored and total points. The Spartans, inaugurating their league season with this set,- will also have a rugged defensive set-up awaiting the Wolverines. Four seniors, Hank Campanani, Gordon King, Jack Thomas and Jim Ward will give the Maize and Blue plenty of anxious mo- ments on the defensive side of the ledger. So will Gerald Ber- gin, the rugged senior goalie. Bessones' team, which so far has won four and lost one in non- league play, also will display some new prospects in the series. Michi- gan coach Heyliger is especially wary of Charlie Wgks, a big sopho- more center, and Dave Hendrick- son, hard working~ left wing. ON THE other hand, the weak- ened Wolverines will show some new lines in series. Heyliger has moved the limping Goold into the third line, necessitating the ele- vation of Yves Hebert into the second line, along with Bill Mc- Farland and Doug Philpott. As usual, it will be the top line of George Chin, Doug Mullen, and Pat Cooney which must carry the brunt of the offensive burden. The hard pressed Wolverines must win both of these tilts in order to stay in the running for an NCAA playoff berth, for Michi- gan still has to play such teams as Minesota, Denver, and Colora- do College, and thus must win the so called "easy games" against Michigan State. However it is feared that the Spartans will not be as docile as in the past, and the games wont be so 'easy" for the Wolverines afterall. 9 11 16 30 8 9 15 16 8 9 16 30 16 30 16 28 30 31 Northwestern University ..............................There University of Iowa ....................................There Michigan State College ...............................

Ohio divers, sprinters, middle distance men, and backstroker all rate nods over the remainder of Michigan's Big Ten opponents. IN THE DIVING event Jim Walters, Michigan's leading diver picks Ohio's Jerry Harrison and Morely. Shapiro as the best that he will face in the impending cam- paign. Harrison finished second in the three meter and third in the one meter diving in last year's Big Ten championships at Iowa City. Shapiro wound up second on the low boards, but slipped to sixth in the higher event. These boys give the Buckeyes a good cushion to lean on; for they are usually good for eight points in most of their dual meets and probably nine or twelve in the championship af- fair. Harrison won the nation- al one meter title and finished I _ . .- --- - - ._ I second in the NCAA three meter event. Shapiro was third on the low and sixth on the high board nationally. * * * MICHIGAN sprinters agree that Dick Cleveland of Ohio State is the fastest man that they will op- pose in the coming season. Cleve- land has annexed just about every National swimming title that can be won. He has won National and Big Ten fifty yard titles previous to last year and accompanied the United States Olympic squad to Helsinki. Iowa's Dick Pennington is rank- ed behind Cleveland in this event on the strength of his strong show- ing in the conference engagement last year. He finished third in the 50 and sixth in the 100. Al Kuhn, of Northwestern was fourth in the Iconference 50 yard event and ranks behind Cleveland and Pen- nington. * * * MICHIGAN breaststrokers fig- ure on Illinois' Bob Clemons, de- fending NCAA 100-yard champion, and John Dudek, of Michigan State to be the toughest of the breaststrokers in the conference. Dudek captured the conferenceI 100-yard event, and has improved, as shown by his race in the Michi- gan AAU event, and has improved. he set a new University of Michi- gan pool record. Ohio State's diminutive Hawai- ian Ford Konno is expected to once again dominate the middle dis- tance races 220, 440 and 1,500 free- style events, in Western Confer- ence circles, where he reigned be- fore illness kept him from de- fending his 1952 championships. Yoshi Oyakawa is established in the backstroke as the finest in the world Gym Captain Set To Lead wolverines JOhnsOn Outstanding As All-Around Man By DON LINDMAN A versatile captain will be lead- ing the versatile Michigan gym- nastics squad in an attempt to bring the Big Ten gym title to Ann Arbor Mary Johnson, the captain of coach Newt Loken's crew, is one of the best gymnasts in the con- ference. Chosen by his teammates as the most valuable man on last year's squad Johnson showed his skill by taking second in the free exercise event in the conference championships. * *, * JOHNSON'S versatility is typi-' cal of the entire gym squad, and is one big reason why the Wol- verines are recognized as a con- ference power this year. The agile senior is capable of performing in every event, but he claims the par- ellel bars, high bar, and free exer- cise as his specialties. In the Wolerines' season op- ener against Notre Dame, John- son captured first place on the parallel bars, garnering 278 out of a possible 300 points. He is also one of the top all-events men in the Big Ten. "Mary has amazing perserver- ance," says Loken. "He works as hard as any man on the team." This hard work has enabled John- son to reach the top as a college gymnast. Loken considers him a very strong contender for confer- ence individual titles in free exer- cise, parallel bars, high bar, and all-events. Already a fine perfof'mer on the flying rings, the 22-year-old Windsor, Ontario, athlete is rap- idly becoming a star in this event. He is the only gymnast in the con- ference who is able to execute a double-flyaway finish, Johnson is very enthusiastic over Michigan's chances in the conference meet this March. "It's a great year to be captain," he claims. "We've got a great team. Just look at the depth; we can enter six men in some exents. That's the kind of depth it takes to win the championship. This is the first time in years that we've had this much depth." i T-M SCORES BASKETBALL Newman 40, Michigan Co-op 24 Nelson house 23, Roger Williams 17 Lawyers 26, Ramblin' Wrecks 30 Fletcher 46, Chemistry 12 Cardinals 22, Philippinos 20 Air Force ROTC Cadets 27, Hypo-ets 24 Law Club 49, Alpha Kappa Kappa 29 Delta sigma Delta 55, Alpha Kappa Psi 22 Standish-Evans 47, Owen Co-op 12 Foresters 36, MCF 2?7 Phi Chi 39, Alpha Omega 15 Phi Alpha Kappa won over Phi Delta Chi (forfeit) VOLLEYBALL Beta Theta Pi 4, Sigma Nu 2 (second place playoff) Political Science 6, Natural Re- sources 0 Coach Cliff Keen's wrestling. team will make their 1954 debut this afternoon when they meet a strong Illinois squad at Chain- paign. The next day they will travel to Bloomington where they will face an improved Indiana team. Both matches should be tough and Michigan, last year's Big Ten champs, will have to go all out to win'. win.* * * ILLINOIS, who had a record last year of nine victories, four losses and two ties, and finished fourth in the Big Ten Champion- ships has already competed and won three matches this year. The Fighting Illini defeated Great Lakes and Cornell in suc- cessive weeks early in December and then squeeked by Indiana, 14-12. One of the top perform- ers on the Illinois team is soph- omore Larry Ten Pas who is used by his coach "Pat" Patter- son at both 157 and 167 pounds. Against Indiana, the highly her- alded Ten Pas pinned Chuck Pan- kow, Big Ten champ a year ago, in 4:15. It must be noted that this is the second Big Ten champ that the sophomore star has vanquish- ed. While in high school Ten Pas pinned Jilh Ellis in :50 in the Olympic tryouts. ILLINOIS IS especially strong in the lower weights. In the 123 pound class coach Patterson has a potential national champion in Dick Meeks who has placed third at 115 pounds in the last two NCAA Championships. At 130 pounds a sophomore, Chuck Giuffre, has taken the num- ber one spot away from captain Yukio Matsumoto who was good enough to win five out of six matches last year.

Only two men, Charlie Pankow and Jerry Grummell, have return- ed from last year's squad which saw Indiana win three, lose five, and tie one, and finish in a fifth place tie in the Big Ten champion- ships. HARRY JAGIELSKI who did not wrestle for the Hoosiers last year will strengthen the team con- siderably. Jagielski, a 235 pound varsity football tackle was runner- up for the Big Ten crown two years ago. Evidence that he will be tough to beat was given when he defeated Paul Mechling of Illi- nois, 7-2. Michigan rests their hopes to a large degree on Norvard "Snip" Nalan, Andy Kaul, and Dick O'Shaughnessy.

DO SO FROM 9 to 3 P.M., JANUARY 8 AT THE UNION Basketball Rules Reviewed for Fans (This ,s the first of, a two-story series on basketball rules. It is aimed primarily at those unfamiliar with the sport. Today's article concerns a' general rules and Infractions other than fouls. The second story will be on the different types of fouls and the number of shots taken after a foul.) By WARREN WERTHEIMER The game of basketball can be pretty confusing to those who are not familiar with it and this story is designed mainly to help those inexpert' fans better understand and enjoy the game. Basketball is played on a court with minimum dimensions of 74 feet in length and 42 in width. However it is preferred that whenever possible the court be maximum size, which is 94 by 50. The free throw line is 15 feet from an imaginary line on the floor directly under the back- board. The basket is 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet above the floor. The length of a college cage con- test is 40 minutes which is divid- ed into four, ten-minute periods. Each quarter is started with the ball tossed between two players of opposing teams in the small circle at the center of the court. There are various violations in basketball (violations differ from fouls in that there is no free throw for the non-fouling team, belt rather another penalty is inflict- ed. Most of the violations result In the offending team losing posses- sion of the ball and these are as follows: (a) causing the ball to go out of bounds (if a ball holder is forced out of bounds by negli- gible contact, his team retains pos- session), (b) intentionally strik- ing the ball with any part of the leg from the knee down or strik- ing the ball with a fist. Other violations which come under this category are (c) fail- ure to pass ball onto court with- in five seconds after receiving it Welcome Back, Students ! For hairstyling that pleases try 715 N. University out of bounds or having any part- of the body on or over out-of- bounds line, (d) failure to bring the ball from backcourt across the center line within ten seconds or once across the line causing the ball to go into the backcourt, (e) having one or both feet in the free throw lane between the out-of- bounds line and the foul line. The violation list continues with (f) a non-jumper entering the re- straining circle before a jump ball is tapped, (g) dribbling a second Canham Cajoles Track coach Don Canham is in Cincinnati today where he will try to convince the nation's coaches that this year's an- nual NCAA championship meet should be held at Ferry Field. Michigan stands a- good chance of gaining the nod as the host team for the June meet for the first time in history. time after the first dribble has ended (a dribble is considered end- ed when the player touches the ball with both hands or permits it to come to rest while in con- tact with it.) This violation does not apply if the player tries for a field goal, has the ball knocked out of his hands, or has a pass or fumbled ball touched by another player. He can make only one air-dribble dur- ing a dribble (an air dribble is part of a dribble during which the player throws or taps the ball in the air and touches it before it hits the floor. The final violation which causes the team to lose the ball is run- ning with the ball. This is defined as follows; (a) moving both feet while not dribbling, (b) jumping in the air or moving the stationary foot off the ground and failing to get rid of the ball before again touching the floor, (c) failure to come to a stop in two counts after a dribble. The first count occurs as a play- er receives the ball if either foot is touching the floor, or when either or both feet touch the floor if the player is in the air when he re- ceives the ball. The second count occurs when after count one, either foot or both feet simultan- eously touch the court. Another type of violation re- sults in two points for the team not committing the infraction. This is touching the ball or op- ponent's basket while the ball is on or within such basket, or touch- ing the ball after it has started its downward flight during an op- ponents attempt for a field goal. This latter applies only if the ball is above the basket and only until it is apparent that the ball will not hit the backboard or basket. The final violation involves free throws. If a player on the team attempting the shot crosses the foul line or free throw lane, the shot will not count. If an oppos- ing player does this, and the shot is unsuccessful, the shooter will be given another try, 1 -- -- THEY STARTED OUT EVEN AT GRADUATION: 4j I January Clearance' SALE 20% DISCOUNT on Entire Stock of Men's SUITS - TOPCOATS SPORTCOATS - SLACKS 11 You may not see it in their outward appear- ances.-- but there's a big difference between these young men.
