'Wrestlers Thinclads Topple Buckeyes, Hurons To Score Easy Win Icemen Beat Gophers, 5-2 In Possible NCAA Preview By CORKY SMITH 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 with a 4:16.4 time.

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- yard run brought another first place to the Wolverines. The time was only 1.2 seconds off Scrugg's fjeldhouse mark of 1:12.7. JOHN Vallortigara of Michigan ran a :06.4 60-yard dash to take first place in the event. Tom Keyes and Syl Collins, both of Michigan Normal, finished second and third respectively. Love copped first place in the 65-yard low hurdles in a fast :07.5. Berwald of Michigan took a fourth place. Love's time was .1 off the fieldhouse record. Diminutive Ron Wallingford of the Wolverines outlasted the field of contestants in the two-mile run and finished with a time of 9:33.6. He shaved almr st eight seconds off last week's performance at Champaign, when he ran the gruelling distance in 9:41.3. Mich- igan's George Lynch finished third. * * * THE BROAD jump event went to Junior Stielstra of Michigan who leaped 23' 5". Teammate Bill 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- ed the bar at 13'. At the Michi- 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 place tie with a jump of 6' 3". Wil- lie Anderson of OSU. Fritz Nilsson, Michigan track captain, tossed the shot put 52' 7/2" to take the event. The Buck- eyes' Joe Morgan placed second with a heave of 49' 10%". The Wolverines rounded out the afternoon with a first place in the mile relay. Michigan's team, con- sisting of Sutton, Bob Brown, Car- roll and Scruggs travelled the dis- tance in 3:21A.

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.

FORD KONNO . . . adds more records JnesWins Swimnme rs Ony Firsts Continued from Page 1)' 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. Captain "Snip" Nalan kept his undefeated string intact as he decisioned Buckeye Jay Mills. Nalan now is unbeaten in the last two seasons and has a string of ten victories for this season. He is also the Big Ten and NCAA 130-pound champion. Protecting another undefeated string, Andy Kaul captured his 147-pound bout by beating Tony Late Scores COLLEGE BASKETBALL Indiana 84, Ohio State 68 Minnesota.81,Northwestern 69 Iowa 60, Michigan State 48 Purdue 71, Wisconsin 66 Detroit 80, Marquette 76 Dayton 64, Duquesne 54 Notre Dame 71, Loyola 65 Connecticut 78, Holy Cross 77 Georgia Tech 80, Georgia 63 Princeton 73, Yale 68 Western Kentucky 85, Eastern Ken- tucky 69 Penn 71, Virginia 62 Kansas State 79, Missouri 78 LaSalle 96, St. Louis 82 Kentucky 109, Auburn 79 NBA BASKETBALL Boston 75, Rochester 74 Milwaukee 58, New York 57 Minneapolis 95, Baltimore 85 Fort Wayne 79, Philadelphia 72 NHL SCORES Montreal 5, New York o Toronto 4, Chicago 2 Illinois.......,....14 17 24 24-79 MICHIGAN.........18 9 20 14-61 Free throws missed: Illinois-Dut- cher 5, IHooper, Kerr 4, Judson 2, Rid- Iey.

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.
