K A glance at the results of this season's Conference encounters would seem to validate this state- ment. Of the 16 games played involving only Big Ten quintets, 12 have been won by the home team. * * * MOREOVER, the visiting fives that were successful were Indiana twice, Illinois and Minnesota - generally thought of as the top teams in the Western Conference. The Wolverines have followed this pattern very closely. They nearly upset the highly ranked Hoosiers at Ann Arbor and came back two days later to surprise Ohio State in Mr. Yost's Field House. However once the Maize and Blue took to the road, it ran into trouble. Bill Perigo's five played Guard Your Feet With SENTRY ARGYLE SOCKS 3 PAIRS $225 Reg.

While therewas consid- erable improvement in the Iowa clash, the team still did not show the kind of ball it has shown it- self capable of playing. * * * MICHIGAN performed in a sim- ilar manner during its pre-Con- ference game. The Wolverines were undefeated when they ran into a fair Butler outfit at In- dianapolis. A lackadaisical effort resulted in loss number one, and two days later at Cincinnati Mich- igan was soundly beaten by the Bearcats. Even in the season's opener at Pittsburgh it was not impressive despite defeating the Pitt Panthers. On the other hand the Maize and Blue has yet to come up with what would be considered a "bad" game when playing at home. As a matter of fact, the Wolverine dribblers looked first rate in the Ohio State, Valparaiso, and Loy- ola encounters. * * * ONE POSSIBLE explanation for Michigan's poor road showings might be that it is primarily a young team with three sophomores in the starting lineup. While it may be true in the case of Harvey Williams that he performs much better in Ann Arbor, it certainly does not seem to hold with Jim Barron and Tom Jorgensen. Barron especially more than holds his own in away games. In the Wildcat and Hawkeye tussles, the 6-0 guard dropped in 45 points to bring his team-leading total to 189 in 11 games. Whatever the reason is, if the Wolverines continue to follow this pattern, quite a contest is in store for Ann Arbor cage enthusiasts this Saturday night when Michi- gan State moves -into the Field House. * * * BIG TEN CAGE STANDINGS C(onguers Ph'iKappa Tao0 I18, To Annex Fraternity Champi onship By HAP ATHERTON anthird place, respectively.

By HANLEY GURWIN The rules used by most col- legiate hockey teams are the offi- cial NCAA rules which have been splashed its way to a 39-18 vic- tory over Phi Kappa Tau in the fraternity swimming finals last night in the IM pool. Lewy captured the 50-yard free style with a speedy 25.9 leaving the rest of the field far behind. He also swam in the winning.100- yard free style relay and the 75- yard medley relay. * * * THE 25-YARD breaststroke was won by Lew Hamburger, swimming the length of the sports building pool in 14.5 seconds. He contin- ued the victory streak swimming with Lewy and Howard Siegel in the 75-yard medley relay, which ZBT easily won in 42.3 seconds. I The 100 yard free style relayI squad of Howard Siegel, Mike Kadens, Mort Blum, and John Lewy barely edged Phi Tau's Dave Cherry, Henry Levering, Dick Phillips, and Vern Stilson in a close finish.

The to Fans Attacking and Defensive Zones are sometimes known as End Zones The distance from a Goal Line to its respective Zone Line shall be 60 feet. "Offside" Is the term used to signify a playing infraction by the team in possession of the puck. After an offside play, the puck is faced-off just outside the Attacking Zone (blue line) and is called when a player passes, carries or shoots the puck into his Attacking Zone from the Neutral Zone or his Defensive Zone when a teammate is in his Attacking Zone. More simply, an offside is called and a face-off ensues whenever a player shoots the puck into the Attacking Zone and a teammate is already there. The puck must be the first thing to cross the line. ' This rule prevents players from hanging around the opponent's goal waiting for a long pass while the puck is at the other end of the ice. * * * THE MAJOR exception to this rule occurs when the offside puck is picked up by a defending play- er who immediately takes posses- sion of the puck and starts to skate toward center ice. This is known as a"slow whistle." How- All those men interested in being a baseball manager this spring please contact me at NO 2-4551. -George Beauchamp ever if an attacking player takes the puck from the defending play- er while he is still in the Attack- ing Zone, the whistle is blown and an offside is called, Another rule which puzzles many fans is the one known as "icing the puck." This infrac- tion, also a very common one, is called when under most cir- cumstances a player shoots the puck from his own Defensive Zone through the Neutral Zone and beyond the opponent's goal line, an extension of the line over which the puck must cross to score a goal. In this case the face-off is call- ed back in the Defending Zone of the team which made the in- fraction after the puck is touch- ed by a player on the other team. There are four main exceptions to this rule. * * * THE FACE-OFF is called unless: (1) The team shooting has fewer men on the ice due to a man in the penalty box. (2) The shot is made from a face-off. (3) The puck touches an opposing player or his equipment before reaching the goal line extended. (4) If in the opinion of the referee a player of the opposing team other than the goalkeeper is able to play the puck but lets it go. This foul is often times inten- tionally committed by a team which is having difficulty clear- ing the puck from its own end and temporarily wishes to re- lieve the pressure. The face-off also gives the team a chance to put fresh players on the ice without having to change on the fly. a1 -~ or.; one Once ther was a Basketball Team that had Plenty of Nothing. It was so poor that even the Coach hadn't gone to a game all season. Couldn't stand to watch his Scoreless Wonders. So the Futile Five careened through the sched- ule and hit the road for the Big Game. Due to lose by 45 points, the Experts said. But somebody back on campns had a Brainstorm. He whipped out his Trusty Telegrammar (the Telegrammar being a pocket-sized guide to telegraph use. If you'd like one, incidentally, for gratis, just write to Room 1727, Western Union at 60 Hudson Street, New York City.) Spotting a likely idea he started the wheels moving! So, just before game .don't put all your ;oose eggs in 1basket- time, the team got more Telegrams than you could shake a Referee at. Group telegrams from fraternities and sorori- ties, personal telegrams from Prexy and the Dean of Women, hundreds of telegrams from students ... all saying "We're behind you, team!" The reac- tion? Tremendous. The boys pulled themselves together, went out and lost by only 28 points instead of 45. The moral is Obvious. The more you encourage a guy, the better he'll do ... and Giving a Hand by telegram works wonders.

TAN By DON LINDMAN In spite of the loud objections which might emminate from the pools at Yale and Ohio State, Michigan could well claim the title of all-time college swimming champion. While much could probably be said in defense of the Buckeyes and the men of Eli, the facts would back the Wolverines' claim to the crown. YALE, OFTEN regarded as the kingpin of the, swimming world, is actually only a poor third to the men from Ann Arbor and Columbus. Coach Matt Mann's charges lead the nation in team titles, having been national champions during 13 of the 30 years since the initiation of the NCAA title meet. Since 1937, when team championships became an offi- cial part of the annual swimming contest, the Wolverines have won the title six times, once less than the Buckeyes. Yale can boast only three national crowns over the same span. Wolverine superiority is evident when individual champions are considered. During his twenty- eight years as the head of Michi- gan swimming, Mann-coached men have captured 79 national titles. This is nearly three times the number won by Yale and fif- teen more than have been gar- nered by Ohio State natators. * * * . ONLY IN THE realm of colle- giate record-holders is Michigan forced to take a back seat. Al- though the Wolverines and the Buckeyes have each produced four of the thirteen present day rec- ord setters, through the years Yale men have held national marks 34 times. This is in contrast to the 18 which have rested at Michi- gan and only 8 held by Ohio State. Some of the greatest names in swimming history have raced as members of the Wolverine team. Among the first national swim- ming champions produced by Mann were such greats as free- styler Paul Samson, former world record-holder in both sprints, and John Schmeiler, national champion in both the freestyle and breaststroke. Following them on the Michigan swimming scene came Ed Eirar, the only swimmer to hold both freestyle sprint titles for two con- secutive years; Taylor Drystdale, three-time backstroke champion; Jack Kasley, the only breaststrok- er to win three consecutive titles; and Dick Degener, diving king for two years. * * * THE PRESENT Wolverine squad doesn't lack champions. "Bumpy" Jones, individual medley titlist for the past two years, has 'Iwo more years to swim as a Weive-:ine star. Jones holds two American medley records and was a mem- ber of the national champion freestyle relay team during thea past two seasons. Don Hill, a senior and co-cap- tain of this year's power-packed squad, is the NCAA '50-yard free- style king. The holder of the collegiate long course 50-yard freestyle record, Hill also was for two years a team- mate of Jones on the national champion freestyle relay combi- nation. ,' i I I I M .
