PAGE sIx THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1 J PAGE ~IX THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, JAN~JARY 15, 1 Michigan Natators Open Season A gainst W ildcats Gymnasts Meet Wisconsin In First Conference Battle At the Campus Bootery- U_ Matt Mann's strongest swim- ming team in several years will make it's 1954 debut Saturday in a dual meet with Northwestern at the Intramural Sports Building pool at 8 p.m. Highlighting the meet will be the renewal of a seven year diving rivalry between Michigan's Jim- my Walters and Northwestern's George Conn. The boys dove against each other in high school competition in Chicago and con- tinued the annual contests while attending their respective univers- ities. Conn is still looking for his first win over the Wolverine ace, but Walters' steady improvement dims the chances of such an oc- curance. * . * AL KUHN will lead the under- manned Northwestern team. He placed fourth in the Big Ten 50 yard freestyle and fifth in the in- dividual medley last year. Archie W a 1I e n, freestyler; Craig Peterson, b r e as t r ok e r; Barry Burdick, backstroker; and Conn are the only lettermen from coach Bill Peterson's squad which placed fifth in the con- ference last season. The team is somewhat strength- ened by sophomore freestylers Bill Stetson, Jack Shillestad, and Len- nie Young; Charles Hinshaw, and Wes Harris, backstrokers; and Jack Riveret, a breastroker. They fail to compensate, however, for the loss of Keith Peterson, Big Ten 5Q and 100-yard freestyle cham- pion. ON THE OTHER hand, Michi- gan will send almost a stereotype of the team that downed the Wild- cats 62-31 last year into action. Coach Matt Mann will prob- ably call on John Chase, Glen Miller, and Tom Benner, Bob Knox, or Pete Dow in the med- ley relay. In the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events Mann will, more likely than not, pick Don Hill, and Benner, Knox, or Dow, with the possibility that Ron Gora may see action in the 100. In the 220 and 440-yard free- style John O'Rielly and either Gora or Bumpy Jones will be call- ed upon to bring home the bacon. Chase and Jim Kruthers should be Michigan's hopes in the back- stroke event. MILLER and Mike Delaney are the leading breastrokers of the Wolverine squad, and Jones and Delaney seem the likely men to swim the 150-yard individual med- ley. Along with Walters in the div- ing will be either Charley Bates or Bud Hurd. Michigan's 400-yard freestyle relay team will be comprised of Benner, Dow, Don Ferguson, Gora, Hill, Jones, or Knox. The team will not be as strong as it will for the latter half of the season because the Wardrop twins are ineligible as second se- mester freshmen. Michigan gymnastics fans will have a good chance to evaluate the present Wolverine squad when Coach Newt Loken's men perform against the Wisconsin gymnasts at 8:00 tonight in the Sports Building. The Wisconsin team should pro- vide a much better test of the Wol- verines' strength than did Notre Dame, the only other opponent the Michigan men have faced. In an early season meet against the Irish, the Maize and Blue squad scored a -decisive 55-41 victory, winning five of the six events.} MATT MANN ..pool proctor 'M' Rinkmen Face Minnesotag Tonight Mayasich Leads Miinnesota Icemen; Philpott Sidelined by ShoulderInjury F Q Q 2 It's Magic. SPEEDY SERVICE DRIVE RIGHT THROUGH Michigan's injury shattered hockey team collides head-on with Minnesota tonight in Minneapolis, opening a two game series which is undoubtedly the most vital of the campaign for the Wolverines. Vic Heyligers squad must gain at least a split with the Gophers in order to maintain even a flick- ering hope of an NCAA Playoff berth. Even under normal circum- stances, this task would be a rug- ged one for the Wolverines, but the loss of Doug Philpott, second line winger, makes it even harder. * * * PHILPOTT suffered a shoulder separation in the third period of Saturday nights' clash with Michi- gan State, and will definitely be lost to Michigan for this series. Heyliger must now move ei- 1 ther Telly Mascarin or JayI Goold up into Philpotts positionI on the second line. This shuf-I fling of lines makes Michigan'st chances for the much needed split "very dim" according toi the Wolverine coach.f The rampant Gophers, freshI from a fairly successful series, against league leading North Da-1 kota, now hold the whip hand inE the WHL. Johnny Mariucci's crew, by virtue of its 2-2 tie and, 5-0 victory 'over the Nodaks, are only three points behind the pace-l setters, and as the season ebbs, the Gophers will undoubtedly close in on the Sioux. HEYLIGER'S outfit will faceI the most feared forward line inI coach was quick to point out that the passing "wasn't as good as it could be." Heyliger is hoping that power, plays will pay off, and that such boys as Bill MacFarland, who has pimped in 11 goals so far this season, George Chin, Pat Cooney, Doug Mullen, and the recently recovered ayGoold, will pull an upset. However, this remains to be seen, and Michi- gans' hopes of a fourth straight NCAA title chance will hang in balance over Williams Arena to- night. Following the Gopher series, the Wolverines will see more between semester action when they take on the Huskies of Michigan Tech at Hcughton on Feb. 5 and 6. Hey- liger expects a tough two game se- ries from Al Renfrew's crew. Ren- frew himself is an ex-pupil of Hey- liger, having led the Wolverines to the national title in 1949. Playing on Techs new artificial ice for the first time in the long 62 game series, the Wolverines will have to face a team headed by a great goalie, Harry Taylor. Taylor was called by many second only to Mattson last season as a goaltend- er. In one two game series last year, Taylor stopped 102 shots, and thus will be tough to beat. Heyliger calls Tech a much im- proved team since the beginning of the season when Denver massa- cred the Huskies. This improve- ment is evidenced by the fact that Michigan Tech gave Colorado Col- lege a rugged fight before bowing last week 6-3, 5-2. The front line ALTHOUGH definite underdogs to Loken's agile crew, the Badgers' main power is in the events in which the Wolverines' strength is as yet uncertain. Weak in tum- bling, the Michigan men will be facing a Wisconsin team which boasts its main strength in this event. The Badgers also boast power in the trampoline and side horse events, in which the Wolverine strength has not been put to a real test. In its only previous meet the Wisconsin squad beat Indiana, 50- 46. Captain Bob Grollo and Paul Verway, who are expected to be the main Badger point-getters to- night, paced the win. Grollo took first place on the flying rings, while Verway captured the tram- poline and tumbling events. THE MICHIGAN men intend to unveil several new routines against, their first conference opponents of the season. Captain Mary Johnson expects to attempt a double fly- away off the 'flying rings for the first time in competition. John- son is the only gymnast in the country to execute the double fly- away.. Bill Winkler, Wolverine trampoline star, also plans new ad- ditions to his routine. Loken expects to enter vir- tually the same lineup that trounced the Notre Dame squad. The Wolverine gymnasts will be stronger against the Badgers, however, due to the return of Harry Luchs, the 1952 Western Conference parallel bars cham- pion. Luchs missed the Notre Dame meet because of an injur- ed hand. On January 30, the Michigan team will meet the Illinois squad at Champaign. Ill., in what may well prove to be the most import- ant dual meet of the season. Big Ten champion for the past four years, the Illinois team seems to have lost none of its vaunted pow- er and is definitely the team to beat this season. . On February 1, Loken's charges will face the University of Iowa team at Iowa City. JANUARY FLORSH EIMS R EG. TO $20.95 DISCONTINUED STYLES 500 PAIRS DRESS AND SPORT STYLES - { 4I.9 9.

This crack line is winged by rugged captain Gene Campbell, and the sensational D i c k Dougherty, who scored the hat trick (three goals) against North Dakota last weekend. Back on defense, Mariucci takes pride in Kenney Yackel and Wen- dy Anderson. The veteran coach claims that- Yackel "found him- self" in last weeks series with the Nodaks, and is now a topflight defenseman. Backing them all up is All-American goalie, Johnny Mattson, who holds WHL records for lowest average and most shut- outs. ON THE other hand, the Wol- verines have by no means given up. The team, which left yester-, day for the Northland, looked very sharp in their last practice ses- sions, and Heyliger called "spirit very high." However, the Michigan , one however, and the Maize and Blue will be definite favorites.
