The University of Michigan cin-
dermen rolled to a lop-sided vic-
tory in a triangular meet with
Ohio State University and Mich-
igan State Normal yesterday aft-
ernoon at Yost Field House.
The Wolverines' 103%/2 points
could have won for them two such
track meets as Michigan Normal
placed a distant second with 30 1/2
points, while the Buckeyes fin-
ished last with 25.
* * *
WITH the initial running of the
300-yard dash at Yost Fieldhouse,
John Vallortigara established a
record, covering the distance in
I-M Relays
Phi Delta Theta and Gom-
berg won the Fraternity and
Residence Hall divisions respec-
tively in the I-M 880-yard relay
r, yesterday at Yost Field House.
The Phi Delts posted a time
of 1:42.8 to beat out second
place Sigma Alpha Epsilon and
Sigma Phi Epsilon. Gomberg,
despite dropping the baton,
easily beat Lloyd in 1:46.0. Ad-
ams was thir dand Strauss fin-
f ished fourth.
31.6. Tim Keyes of Normal and
Dave Hessler of Michigan tied
for second place.
In the one mile run, Michi-
gan's John Moule took the event

place, as he relinquished the
lead to Moule in the final lap of
the race.
The 440 yard run was won by
Grant Scruggs of Michigan. He
sped the 2-lap distance in the fast
time of :49.6. Pete Sutton followed
his teammate across the finish
line, taking second place.
* * * *
ONE of the few Ohio State first
places was taken by Don Bartels
who captured the 880-yard run.
His time of 1:582 was far from
Pete Gray's time against Illinois
last week. The Michigan sopho-
more was clocked at 1:52.4, and,
tied the Illinoi's Gene Maynard for
first place.
Jim Love took a first and Herb
Berwald a fourth in the 65-yard
high hurdles for Michigan.
Love's time was :8.2.
Teammates Jack Dooley and
Jack Carroll's 1:13.9 in the 600-

the Wolverines outlasted the field
of contestants in the two-mile run
and finished with a time of 9:33.6.

Michaels placed second with a
jump of 22' 10%/1.
Michigan's Roger Maugh and
Normal's Marland Bluhm tied
for the third time this year in
the pole vault event. Both clear-

gan AAU track meet and the
MSC Relays two weeks ago, the
two vaulters tied for top hon-
ors.
The high jump also ended in a
tie. Michigan's Mark Booth and
Dave Heinzman finished in a first

before he tired in the latter stages
of the second half.

Playing what might turn out to
be a preview of the final game of
the NCAA playoffs, Michigan's de-
fending champions closed out
their Western Hockey League
schedule yesterday afternoon by
dumping Minnesota's Gophers, 5-2
at the Coliseum.
The victory made it a sweep of
the two-game series and brings
Michigan's final league record to
12 wins, three losses, and a tie,
worth 18%/z points in the scoring
column. This puts the Wolverines
in second place behind the Go-
phers who wind up the season with
201/2 points.
* * *E
THE WOLVERINES p r o v e d
I quite ponclusively that the final
standing is no indication of Michi-
gan's ability as they outhustled,
outskated, and outplayed the
league title-holders for the second
day in a row.
With nothing more at stake
than prestige, both teams hav-
ing already clinched playoff
berths, the Maize and Blue sex
tet refused to loaf and coasted
home after piling up a 5-1 mar-
gin in the first two periods.
The big break for Michigan
came near the end of the second
period when the Wolverine puck-
men scored four times within two
minutes, three of the four coming
within 27 seconds.
DOUG PHILPOTT started the
scoring barrage as he took the
puck from linemate Yves Hebert
Lost
Doug Philpott, member of
Michigan's Colorado bound ice
squad, has lost his wallet.
It was dropped somewhere on
State Street between Hill Street
and a little South of Packard
Road. If found, please call him
at NO 2-2933.
and made a solo dash up the ice
from his own blue line that result-
ed in the goal that put Michigan
out in front to stay.
Minnesota center Jack Mona-
han was then handed his most
costly penalty of the year when
he was waved off the ice for
board-checking less than minute
later. While he was gone, the
Michigan power play clicked
three times in rapid succession
and sewed up the contest for
Vic Heyliger's crew.
Big Bill MacFarland, who tal-
lied the opening goal of the game
early in the first period, was the
playmaker each time as he as-
sisted on goals by Pat Cooney, Jim
Haas, and George Chin. Doug Mul-
len picked up assists on the first
and third markers while Chin aid-
ed on Haas' tally.
WHILE it was Michigan's well
balanced offense that produced its'
margin of victory, it was mainly
Willard Ikola who preserved it.
Playing his finest hockey of the
season, he performed miracles in_
the nets as he turned back 34 shots
on goal, many in unbelievable fa-
shion.
A major share of the credit
for stopping the league leading
Gophers, and their high-schor-
ing line of John Mayasich, Dick4
Daugherty, and Gene Campbell!
goes to Wolverine defenseman
Haas, Neil Buchanan, and Burt
Dunn, who completely baffled
the highly touted Gophers. r
Daugherty and Mayasich were!
limited to a goal apiece Friday#
night and one of the three figured
in either Minnesota goal yester-
day.
The Wolverines willttune uphfor
the NCAA playoffs to be held
March 11, 12, and 13 at Colorado
Springs by playing an exhibition:
game with the Grand Rapids-
Rockets of the International Hock-
ey League next Saturday evening
here at the Coliseum.

iate mark. The previous records
had been set by Konno three
weeks ago against Indiana.
Yoshi Oyakawa, Buckeye back-!
stroke star, set the other world
mark while swimming the first leg
of the 300-yard medley relay. His
record time of :55.7 is an unoffi-
cial mark since it was a part of
the relay, but the national back-
stroke champion will apply for of-
ficial recognition of the perform-
ance. His spectacular effort broke
his own mark of :56.1.
The Buckeye medley relay
team, aided by Oyakawa's rec-
ord time, set a new dual meet
mark. Other dual meet marks
were broken in the 100-yard
freestyle and the 400-yard free-
style relay.
Matt Mann's men managed to
capture only two firsts. Jones gain-
ed both Michigan wins, finishing
first in the 200-yard breaststroke
and the 'individual medley. Jones
joined Cleveland and Konno as the
only double winners of the after-
noon.
The meet was a test of Michi-
gan's versatility and depth against,
the straight power and big stars of
OSU, and this time the latter came
out on top.
Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS-In the final dual
meet of the 1954 season, Michigan
wrestlers defeated Ohio State, 15-
9, at Columbus, yesterday after-
noon.
The Wolverines finished their
dual meet season with a nine won,
one lost record and now enter the
Western Conference Champion-
ships where they are hopeful of
capturing another crown. Michi-
gan has won its last four meets.

THE BUCKEYES took the first
match as Charles ;Anderson lost to
John Nicolella in a rugged 123-
pound bout.
Michigan went on to take the
next four matches before Har-
old "Pepper" Holt was decisioned
by Buckeye Ted Kistner in the
167-pound clash.
In the 177-pound bout, Bronson
Rumsey decisioned Dan Whitacre
in a low-scoring, close match.
WITH BOB Hurley, Michigan
gridder, substituting for the in-
jured Dick O'Shaughnessy, Ohio
State captured the heavyweight
bout as he lost to Ted Rader, 5-4.

last two seasons and has a string
of ten victories for this season.
He is also the Big Ten and NCAA

TAKE EVERY EVENT:
Gymnasts Rout NU for FifthVictory
By DAVE BAAD
Picking up first places in all six
e v e n t s, Michigan's gymnastics
team rolled to an easy 64%-30%/
victory over Northwestern yester-
day before about 500 fans at the IM
building.
The win was the Wolverines fifth
against two defeats and their third
straight since the disasterous be-
tween semesters' vacation trip.
* * *
WITH CAPTAIN and all-around
star Mary Johnson sidelined with
a bad wrist, Lee Krumbholz took
up the slack to win four firsts and
a third in the five events he en-
tered.
The slim senior won consecu-
tive victories on the side horse,
high bar, and parallel bars and
then concluded his afternoon's
performance with a tie for third
on the flying rings and another
first place in tumbling.
Bill Winkler turned in his usual
fine trampoline exhibition and won
the event in fine style with 259
points. Northwestern grabbed the
second, third and fourth positions
when Wolverines' Frank Adams
and Jack Burchfield trying new
tricks fell off the tramp.
* * *
LANKY DICK Bergmen annexed
the other win for Newt Loken's
squad when he swung to a 13 point
flying rings win over the Wildcats'
Ken Klatte. Bergmen collected 243
points.
Klatte, whose 230 total was
the highest scored by a North-
western gymnast during the
meet, was the best of the visitor's
performers. He also looked im-
pressive on the parallel bars
before falling off to spoil his
routine.
Returning after a week's layoff
due to draft board difficulties, jun-
ior Jim Barbero put on one of his
