Buckeyes Score 125.103 Triumph;
Four Records Set at Varsity Pool
By DON LINDMAN
Ohio State won its sixth straight Western Conference swimming
title last 'night, outscoring second-place Michigan, 125-103.
Only four points short of the Big Ten team record, the Buckeyes
were pushed to the limit by a Wolverine squad which was trying
desperately to take the meet as a gift for retiring coach Matt Mann.
FOUR RECORD-BREAKING performances highlighted the final
night of action in Michigan's Varsity Pool. One American record,
two NCAA marks, four conference standards, and three pool marks
fell before the greatest collection of swimmers in Big Ten history.
Ohio State's distance freestyle star, Ford Konno, added the
440-yard freestyle to the two victories he had won during the
two previous evenings to become the meet's only triple winner.

EAST LANSING - A smooth
working Michigan State quintet
clicked on all gears as it humbled
the Michigan cagers, 76-61, before
8,379 appreciative fans at Jenison
Field House last night.
Leading during all but the open-
ing minutes of the game and out-
scoring the Wolverines in every
quarter, the Spartans gave a bril-
liant demonstration of passing,
rebounding, and shooting.
* * *
THE VICTORY gave Michigan
State a final Big Ten -record of
4-10 and enabled it to capture sole
possession of eighth place. Michi-
gan finished the season tied with
Purdue for ninth place with three
wins in 14 contests.
Julius McCoy led the Spartan
scoring attack with 24 points.
The lanky 6-2 forward, racking
up most of his tallies on deadly
one-handed jump shots, ended
the year with 409 markers--
the first MSC cager to score
more than 400 in a season.
Center Duane Peterson and
guard Bob Devenny, connecting
for 18 and 14 respectively, also hit
in double figures for Pete Newell's
outfit.
Tom Jorgensen who sparkled
particularly in the second half,
and Jim Barron shared pointmak-
ing honors for the Maize and Blue
with 17 tallies each.
Poor shooting and inadequate
rebounding brought about Michi-1
gan's defeat. The Wolverines made
only 26.6 percent of their floor
shots and usually had to be sat-
isfied with one attempt at a timne.
BAD PASSING also hurt the'
Wolverines. Tinie and time again
a Michigan cager would work him-

self clear only to have any hope
for a field goal spoiled by a slop-
py pass.
The Wolverines were forced to
do most of their shooting from
outside as State's excellent de-
fense kept the center bottled
up. The Spartans, on the oth-
er hand, were able to work in
for close shots.
Using a deliberate style offense
and setting up their plays nicely
the Spartans broke McCoy, Pe-
terson and Devenny loose for
scores. The winners were success-

Adlai Charges
GOP Slanders
By The Associated Press
Adlai E. Stevenson asserted last
night that the Republican party-
"divided against itself, half Mc-

campaign of "slander, dissension
and deception" in an effort to re-
main in power.

THERE WAS one top echelon
resignation at the Pentagon yes-
terday. Deputy Secretary of De-
fense Roger M. Kyes is quitting
May 1. A -former General Motors
official, Kyes had agreed to serve
only a year, and the year ended
Feb. 2.
Both the White House and

had no relation to the Stevens-
McCarthy ruckus.
Stevens said he intends to stay
on at the pleasure of Secretary of
Defense Wilson and President Ei-
senhower.
"From every part of the country
and, in fact, from all over the
world, I have received messages
of loyal support from military per-
sonnel both in and out of uniform.
My support of the Army has been
apparent throughout my term of
service and I do not intend to stop
my efforts to uphold the prestige,
character and intergrity of that
outstanding group of people who
constitute , the United States
Army."
Stevens said Kane's resignation
was a complete surprise.
The secretary said, too that "At
no time since I took office have I
ever considered the matter of sub-
mitting my resignation."

RARE SCORES FEATURED:
David To Conduct Handel Concert

By BEA NEUFELD
"Six Concerto Crossi, Op. 3," a set of practically unknown works
by Handel will be performed at 8:30 p.m. today in Auditorium A,
Angell Hall by the Collegium Musicum.
Directed by Prof. Hans David of the music school, the specially
gathered chamber orchestra composed of both faculty members and
students will play the "Grossi" using the original score of the com-
poser's time.
PROF. DAVID, who always wanted to play originals, bought the
sets from an English catalog last year. The "urtext" or original
editions were published in the 1730's. In 1780, the second edition was
published from the same plate as the first. These are ,the sets which
will be used in the concert, instead of the usual edited ones which
involve modernized additions.
Special feature of the concert will be the first appearance
here in a public performance of the spinettino, a small harpsichord
originally built in Italy about 1600. The instrument was renovated
by John Callis of Detroit for the University in 1950 and is now one
of the treasures of the Stearns Collection of musical instruments
housed in Hill Auditorium,
