Close finishes were the rule ra-
ther than the exception last night
in the I-M residence hall swim-

went on to an easy victory with 36,
points. Gomberg took second with

THE WINNERS' Earland Reu-
ter put on a great display of swim-
ming ability to win the 200 yard
free style, take third in the 100
yard free style, and swim on the
winning 200 yard relay team.
Cooley's other firsts were tak-
en by Carl Sylvester in the 50
yard breast. stroke and Pat
O'Brien in the 50 yard free style.
Sylvestor also was on Cooley's
winning 150 yard medley re-
lay team.
Reeves' Don Gilger broke the
Cooley winning streak as he won
in a very close finish over Gom-
berg's Bill Colmer, in the 50 yard
backstroke.

TAYLOR'S Ronald Fukushima
left the rest of the field far behind
in the 100 yard free style as he
won in 1:05.2. In the diving event,
James McClurg of Gomberg al-
most doubled his nearest competi-
tor's score as he posted 115.
Sigma Chi captured only two
firsts, but far outdistanced the
rest of the fraternities as it won
the Fraternity S w i m m i n g
Championship with 30 points.
Second place Sigma-Nu posted
13 points.
Sigma Chi's Larry Colman cap-
tured the diving events on 57.8

the 100 yard free style event in
:56.3. He also walked away with
the 50 yard free style event in

Undedo Tems Battle
For NCAA CageCrown
By WARREN WERTHEIMER
The topsy-turvy NCAA basket-
ball tournament moves into the
semi-final round tonight at Kan-
sas City, Missouri with four teams
that were given very little chance
of winning the crown seeing ac-
tion.
Southern California is sched-
uled to meet Bradley in the first
contest while Penn State opposes
La Salle in the afterpiece. The
winners will play tomorrow night
for the title and the losers will
meet in the consolation game. The
championship game will be tele-
vised nationally on NBC.
* * *
BRADLEY is the choice to top-
ple Southern Cal tonight, mainly
because it defeated the Nittany
Lions, 79-65, when the teams met
earlier in the season. Both are
good rebounding teams with the
Trojans. playing a more deliberate
game.
The second game will pit
against each other the two cag-
ers who probably stand the best
chance of being named the tour-
ney's most valuable player. All-
American Tom Gola is La Salle's
bright light being its top scor-
er, rebounder, and playmaker.
Jesse Arnelle, a 6-5 hook shot
artist is primarily responsible for
Penn State getting this far,
La Salle in the tournament for
the first time, has been given the
role of favorite. However with fa-
vorites being knocked off left and
right thus far, the Explorers prob-
ably wish that they were picked to
finish fourth
TEAMS like Indiana, last year's
champs, Notre Dame, and Oklaho-
ma A&M have not survived the
regional playoffs. The Irish sur-
prised Indiana, 65-64, to become
the top choice to take the title and1
the next night they found them-
selves in thebrole of spectators
after having been upset by Penn
State, 71-63.
Oklahoma A&M, playing on
its home court, was ousted by
Bradley, 71-54, in another form
reversal.
La Salle came through more or
less as expected at Philadelphia,
defeating Fordham in overtime,
66-64, and then overcoming Navy,
64-48. The Explorer's regular sea-
son record was 21-4.
* * *
PENN STATE made the semi-
final round the hard way. Before
knocking off favored Notre Dame,
the Nittany Lions also upset LSU
with All-American Bob Pettit.
Bradley, 15-12 before the
playoffs, was another team that
was figured to be along just for
the ride. The Braves felt differ-
ently however and toppled fa-
vored Oklahoma City before
running up the highest score
ever posted against the Oklaho-
ma Aggies on their home floor.
Southern Cal put together two
of its best games of the season
during the regionals on the west
coast including a double overtime
victory over Santa Clara.

Six intramural basketball cham-
pions were crowned last night at
the annual Intramural Building
Open House.
Sigma Chi stole the spotlight as
it gained top honors in the fra-
ternity 'A' and 'B' first-place play-
offs. Gomberg House garnered the
Residence Hall 'A' honors, but
bowed to Greene in the 'B' final.
Delta Sigma Delta took the pro-
fessional fraternity crown, while
Fletcher annexed Independent
laurels.
* * *
GRIDIRON star Gene Knutson's
12 tallies led Sigma Chi to a 41-34
victory over Phi Delta Theta for
its second straight 'A' champion-
ship. The winners led, 23-18, at
halftime and were not seriously
threatened in the second half.
Inability to control the back-
boards was probably the chief
factor in the Phi Delts' loss.
They rarely got more than one
follow-up shot, and due mainly
to the efforts of the winners'
Knutson and Tom Maentz. A 13-
point effort by Bill Wisner led
the losers.
Residence hall powerhouse,
Gomberg, added the 'A' cage crown
to its impressive list of first-places
by defeating Hinsdale, 49-38. An
18-point Gomberg spurt in the last
quarter broke up a close struggle.
THE HALFTIME score was 15-
all, but Hinsdale could not keep
pace with fast-breaking Gomberg,
and faded in the last minutes of
action.
Leading the winners' was
Marshall Silvan, with 11 mark-
ers. Bob Hitchmough totalled
nine for Hinsdale, all of the
coming in the second half.
Delta Sigma Delta came from
behind to score a 40-39 win over
Phi Chi in the professional fra-,
ternity championships. Charley
Murray and Stan Gillilan scored
11 markers each to pace the Delta,
Sigma Delta five, while Ken Veen-
stra's 13 was high for the losers.

FLETCHER HALL'S 45-34 win
over Lucky Seven in the Independ-
ent finals was highlighted by Dave
Baker's 20 points. The husky for-
ward continually thwarted the los-
eas' hopes with driving lay-up
shots. Mack Finch and Jim Vuko-
vich topped the Lucky Seven scor-
ing column with eight tallies each.
The 'B' basketball trophy went
to Sigma Chi for the fourth
straight year as they trounced
Delta Tau Delta, 49-28. Sigma
Chi's height advantage was
again. in evidence. The Delts
cooled off after a good first
stanza, and actually lost the con-
test with a meager four-point
total in the second period.

Nick Wiese captured the all-
around gymnastics title in the

Sports Building last night.
He was closely followed by
Wayne Warren and Bob Arm-

in the tumbling and still rings
events, while placing second in
the side horse and parallel bars.
Fortenberry leading the attack
with four field goals. Jack Demor-
est's 10 was high for the Delts. The
halftime score was 26-15.
DON MAZIN netted 10 points in
the last quarter to spark Greene
to a 39-34 win in the residence
halls 'B' championship tilt over
Gomberg.
Gomberg led, 27-23, going into
the final stanza, but fell by the
wayside when the Green quintet
found the range. Mazin's game
total of 21 was tops for the even-
ing's activity. Bob Sharp's 10
points led the losers.

At seventy years of age most
men are contentedly retired, reliv-
ing the past in their minds, plan-
ning trips abroad if they are so in-
clined, and rarely thinking of any-
thing remotely connected with
work.
With Matt Mann II, for 29 years
Michigan's varsity s w i m m i n g
coach, such is not the case. Mann,
whose compulsory r e t i r e m e n t
comes with his next birthday, is
not happy about the idea of leav-
ing Michigan or swimming. He
has, on several occasions expressed
the desire to remain in his pres-
ent capacity,
* * *
HE HAS said, "They don't have
to pay me to work here. I'd glad-
ly stay on for no monetary re-
ward. My boys around the world
are my reward."
Mann will definitely not leave
the swimming picture. Following
the NCAA championships to be
held next week at Syracuse,

career of increased activity"
under way. This career will en-
tail a series of clinics and trav-

nation of men in their youth.

precisely what Mann has set about
to do.

Shooting to break 100... 90... 80... or to take a title?
Spalding's sensational advance in clubs - new '54 Synchro-
Dyned woods and irons - can do more to save you strokes
than any other clubs you ever played!
Reason? Try a few swings -and see. Every wood, every

freer, improve timing... get the ball away straighter and
for more distance.
Will you shoot better golf consistently? Ask any golfer who
