THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA(~ TWWVW! a .wa.u ,a aaaaa:. a:r A AI SEE er by Paul Greenberg Phi Delits Trounce Sigma Nu, 59-21 l THAYER TUTT. the late owner of the lavish Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, was never a host who would allow his guests to become bored. He built two golf courses, three swimming pools, a mon- key zoo, assorted shrines and monuments, an artificial lake (complete with ducks, goldfish and seals), a rodeo stadium and an indoor polo arena-all to occupy his guests when they tired of basking in the salubrious mile-high climate. Different forms of entertainment came and went, and when indoor polo waned in popularity, the pink stucco building that had housed the sport was converted into an indoor skating rink and hockey sta- dium. It provided a fitting home for the great teams of Colorado Col- lege, tin resort-type educational institution tucked into the Rocky Mountains at the Springs. When the National Collegiate Athletic Association decided to award an NCAA title to the top collegiate hockey team in the nation, the Broadmoor sensed its opportunity and offered to house, feed and publicize the tournament. The owners of the giant resort hotel expected the home town Colorado College team to be a. perennial entry in the championships. What began more or less as a showcase for Colorado College and a divertisement for the Broadmoor's paying customers soon became r the springboard to national prominence for Coach Vic Heyliger and his, amazing University of Michigan hockey teams. Heyliger took top honors in the first tournament held in 1948 and after finishing third for the next two years, the Wolverines got back in the championship groove and won championships in 1951, 1952 and 1953. * * * * The Old Reliable ... MICHIGAN, THE ACTUAL "perennial" tournament choice is back at Colorado Springs this year and favored to retain its crown. From here it looks as if the odds are wrong-we think that Michigan will win, but by all rights they shouldn't. Confusing-well maybe, but an explanation will explain the Wolverines' "favorite-underdog" po- sition in the tournament that begins tomorrow. A combination of factors stand against the Wolverines. They will only skate two lines in the rarified Colorado air-that's a hard thing to do and get away with. Last year mighty Minnesota ruled as the tournament favorite but the Gophers had only six good forwards and in the latter stages of both games, Coach Johnny Mariucci's charges were dragging. Then too, Michigan has drawn the second night for its open- ing game-which means it will be playing two days in a row. Dur- ing the regular season Coach Heyliger had a hard time getting his tired charges up for the second game of series; add this to the pressure of tournament play and the high altitude and you have trouble. Michigan's opponents tomorrow night, the fancy-skating Engi- neers from Renssalaer Polytech in Troy, New York are going to be a tough outfit to beat. Coach Ned Harkness is short on defense, but he has a great goaler in Bob Fox, and a sensational front line composed of Frank Chiarelli, Abbie Moore and Angelo Mosca. RPI placed third in last year's tournament and impressed everyone with its fiery brand of play. A SSUMING THAT MICHIGAN does get past Renssalaer, and that Minnesota beats Boston College as handily as everyone expects it to, Saturday's final game will be one of the hardest fought in tourna- ment history. The Gophers are still smarting from the three regular season lickings they took at the hands of Michigan and they'll take the ice with a full day's rest, skating three lines to the Wolverine's two. But Michigan has advantages too-the Wolverines are used to the playoff pressure, they're "hot" with a streak of 11 regular season con- tests without a loss-and the "myth psychology" of Michigan's con- tinued success in blue chip games will put a good deal of pressure on the other three entries. The doormen, bellhops and elevator operators at the Broadmoor will underline this-they maintain that the two things that are sure to happen every March is that they have to pay their income tax and that Michigan will come down and win the hock- ey championship. Another thing, almost as sure, is that there will be the usual amount of humor and pathos that surrounds every great athletio event. Last year there was the case of the doorman who had picked "15" in the total goal pool for Michigan's first game against Boston University. In the waning minutes of the contests, it looked as if he was a sure bet to clean up around $90, as Michigan led 13-2 with the game just about over, with two seconds remaining, Ron Martinson of the Wolverines swept in past the Boston defense to get his third goal of the evening and give Michigan a new one game scoring record for the tournament. The following day the doorman wouldn't speak to any members of the Michigan entourage-he was crushed. But that night he was in the pool again and drew number ten. It seemed an impossible total for a championship game between two good defensive teams, but Mich- igan got hot and part way into the third period the score was 6-3 favor the Wolverines. It almost looked as if the doorman had a chance, be- fore Mariucci pulled his goalie Jim Mattson. Out of-a mixup in Michigan zone came Captain Johnny Mat- chefts of the Wolverines, he stole the puck from, a Minnesota wing and skated the length of the ice, with only Mayasich of the Gophers between him and "tenth goal." Metchefts faked Mayasich, scored and our friend the doorman, richer, wiser and very thankful, was a Michi- gan fan once again. THE SADDEST TALE to come out of the Springs last year was that of Coach Harry Cleverly of Boston University. Not only did Clev- erly see his team lose twice, 14-2 and 6-1, but he had still further cause to be "burned up." The Colorado Springs Junior Chamber of Commerce has established the custom of greeting all of the visiting teams upon arrival at the airport, giving each of the visitors a ten gallon hat and then going through a special ritual with the coaches. They make the visiting mentors bend over and they place a board across their posteriors, in order to burn the Jaycee's brand on the board, which is then given to the coach as a memento. The colorful, typically western ceremony backfired when the luckless Cleverly bent to get his "brand." Someone dropped the board, Harry lost a pair of pants and spent the rest of the tournament standing up. At the press "smoker" the evening of the championship game, Cleverly answered questions about his double misfortune philosophically, "I coached BU football teams for over ten years," he sighed "I can take anything in stride now." Phi Chi Five Defeats Law 'Club, 34-33 By STEVE HEILPERN Fast-breaking Phi Delta ThetaI gained the final round in the so- cial fraternity "A" championship playoffs with a 59-21 trouncing of Sigma Nu last night on the Intra- mural Building courts. The Phi Delts combined smooth I ball handling with accurate shoot-] ing to score the easy triumph. The halftime score of the one-sided tilt was 26-5. * * * FRANK MOORE and Jack Cor-] bett led the winners' scoring col- umn with 12 points each, followed by Jim Bates, with 10. Dick Rex's total of eight was tops for Sigma Nu. Phi Chi and Delta Sigma Del- ta eked out victories to gain the finals of the professional fra- Iternity playoffs. John Fushman's 11 markers led the Phi Chi's to a 34- 33 win over Law Club in a thriller. Bill Rea- mer, who led the losers with 10 points, drew a foul as the final buzzer sounded, but failed to tie the count when his free throw roll- ed off the hoop. Stan Gilliland scored on a long set shot to give Delta Sigma Delta a 40-38 overtime win over Phi Al- pha Kappa. The winners erased a five-point halftime deficit to gain the finals in the first playoffs. * * * PACING THE Delta Sigma Del-' ta attack were Kirk Hamilton and Charley Murray, tallying 16 and 14 points, respectively. Dick Nieus- ma, with 17, and Jim DeHaan, 10, led the losers. In other-pro fraternity action, Delta Theta Phi toppled Phi Al- pha Delta, 28-21, in a second place playoff. The losers fared better than the score indicates considering that they had but four men on the court. Bill Richardson sparked a well- balanced attack for the winners, garnering eight points, while Jack Fletcher had nine for the opposition. Also taking a second place play- off tilt was Phi Delta Phi which routed Nu Sigma Nu by a 45-21 score. High man for the victors was Dick Williams, with 14 points.

The saying "as Johnson goes, so goes Michigan,"] may well hold true at Columbus this weekend. Loken will also rely quite heavily on seniors Dick Bergman of flying ring renown, and Lee Krumbholz, the all-around star of the squad, next to Johnson. Michigan is not alone in hoping to catch the Illini. Michigan State,i Minnesota, and Iowa are also given slight chances to take the conference crown.

Mayasith needed only one more goal in Minnesota's two game setback in Ann Arbor to break the national scoring and goal scoring records. A stiff Michigan defense, plus remark- able goaltending from Williard Ikola kept the two fairly well bottled up. However, if Michigan plays the Gophers again, it will be on Sat- urday, most likely in the cham- pionship tilt. Whether it be in the finals, or in the consolation game, Minnesota will be playing with a day's rest while the Maize and Blue sextet will have played the night before. If Michigan does repeat as NCAA champion for-the fourth year in a row, it will take a lot of good hockey playing. The Wolverines are up against the best of col- legiate hockey. * * * SPARTAN sophomore John Du- deck, who set the standard in the 100 yard breast-stroke, will be around for two more seasons to harrass the record book. Not tohbe left out of consider- ation are the men who bettered records last weekend while com- ing in second in their events. Michigan's Wardrop twins both bettered old marks under these conditions. Bert, who followed Jones home in the individual medley, was clocked in 1:31.1, one-tenth under Keith Carter's old record. -Jack Wardrop swam one of the fastest quarter miles in the books while coming in second to Konno. Jack finished a scant body length behind the indomitable Hawaiian, with a time of 4:29.5. This not oply bettered Konno's old Big Ten mark of 4:35.9, but was under the 4:30.2 collegiate record set by John Marshall of Yale in 1951; Hairstyling to please!
