PAST FIELD IN NCA A MEET:
Best Coach 31 CANDIDATES:
'M',OSU, Yale To Fight For Swim Title Honor Voted
SL
By JACK HORWITZ
Facing a powerful field of com-
petition, the University of Michi-
gan swimming team enters the
National Collegiate Athletic As-
sociation's championships at Syr-
acuse this weekend with its hopes
riding high for the title.
The field of competition narrows
down to a three team race with a
few outsiders trying for the indi.-
vidual championships. Ohio State's
powerhouse, Yale's 1953 leftovers
with strong sophomore reserves,
and Michigan's array of poten-
tial high scorers will battle for the
team crown.
THE BATTLE will be developed
in the freestyle races and the free-
style relays. The 50-yard freestyle
will probably be the highlight, with
Michigan's Don Hill and the Buck-
eye's Dick Cleveland attempting
to break record after record.
Both men will be pressed by
Yale's Kerry Donovan, Georgia's
Reid Patterson, and Dart-
mouth's Jack Glover. Donovan
will undoubtedly provide the
' best battle on the basis of his
fine performance in the Eastern
Intercollegiate championships.
He was timed in :22.5 for the
distance and won going away.
A repetition of the 50-yard event
will be seen in the 100-yard race.
Hill and Cleveland will vie for the
crown with Patterson, last year's
champion, pushing them all the
way.
will battle to the finish line for
both titles with Smith, Spring-
field's Bill Yorzyk, and Duncan
fighting for the third spot. Ad-
ditional strength in Ron Gora and
Bumpy Jones will give the Wol-
verines a decided advantage in the
220.
Michigan is the heavy favor-
ite to cop the 400-yard relay.
Its main opposition will come
from Ohio State, Oklafoma and
Dartmouth.
The 300-yard medley relay will
boil down to a fight between Mich-
igan and Ohio State. Oklahoma,
Harvard, and Yale will battle for
a third place spot.
The Mid-Western supremacy
will undoubtedly be shown to the
rest of the country in the NCAA
swimming championships.

To Heyliger
Vic Heyliger, Wolverine hockey
coach, was presented with the
Spencer Penrose Memorial Tro-
phy last Saturday night in Bos-
ton as the "hockey coach of the
year."
Herb Gallagher, President of the
American Hockey Coaches Asso-
ciation, made the award at a din-
ner winding up the coaches' three-
day convention,
* * *
HEYLIGER was voted the award
in recognition of his excellent
coaching record here at Michigan.
As coach of the Maize and Blue
icers, he has guided his charges
into seven straight NCAA playoff
berths and to four national cham-
pionships.
A Michgian alumnus, Heylig-
er starred for the Wolverine
sextet himself before taking
over the coaching reigns at the
University of Illinois for three
years. Then he returned to Ann
Arbor in 1944 and has been here
since.

... free-style threat
THE 1500-METER freestyle will
find Ohio State's Ford Konno
seeking the title he was unable
to compete for last year. His main
opposition will be Michigan's Jack
Wardrop and John O'Reilly, Yale's
Martin Smith, and Oklahoma's
Peter Duncan.
Graham Johnson, Oklahoma's
other ace sprinter, has been
ruled ineligible by the Big Sev-
en Conference.
The 220 and the 440-yard free-
style races will probably be simi-
lar with a few additional threats
in the 220. Konno and Wardrop

Election Set
sMarch 30,31
Round one 'ended in the fight
for 22 Student Legislature seats
to be filled March 30 and 31, when
31 candidates turned in petitions
and began the semi-annual elec-
tioneering stints.
Candidates looked into the his-
tory of past SL activities, talked
to present SL members and their
would-be constituents and took on
the tedious job of drafting a plat-
form to present with their peti-
tions.
ROUND TWO opened with a
completely revamped Candidates
Training Program this year. Dis-
cussions covered campus organiza-
tions and their interrelations, SL
activities and policy stands, par-
liamentary procedure and cam-
paign tips.
Acting Dean of Students Wal-
ter B. Rea and Prof. Preston
Slosson of the history depart-
ment spoke to the candidates on
extra-curricular activities and
the growth of the University
while campus leaders discussed
their respective activities.
Candidates got a general orien-
tation into SL's past activities
Swhen present Legislature members
outlined the history of the driv-
ing ban controversy, discrimina-
tion stands, SL academic freedom
actions and the National Student
Association.
ROUND THREE centered around
electioneering proper, as candi-
dates scattered posters in shop
windows and housing units all over
campus.
A room full of either blank or
interested faces will greet them
this week at the candidates
open houses in dormitories and
residence units.
Fourth and final round of elec-
tions will be climaxed Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 30 and 31, in
the all-campus balloting.
After students cast their ballots,
tense candidates will spend half a
night in the Union watching the
results of their three-week cam-
paign be tabulated.
And Union janitors the next
morning will sweep up the remains
of the semester's electioneering.
Red Wings Picked Over Leafs
In First Game of Ice Playoffs
By The Associated Press
DETROIT - The confident De-
troit Red Wings, boasting -an im-
proved Gordie Howe, are favored'
to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs
tonight and get away to a fast
start in hockey's Stanley Cup Play-
offs.
The teams are meeting in a best-
of-seven semi-final series with the
winner advancing to the finals

last year. He apparently had ex-
hausted himself trying to break
against the winner of the Boston-
Montreal series. The Canadiens
entertain Boston tonight.
THE RED WINGS usually fin-
ish on top during the regular sea-
son-they've done it six straight
years-but it's another story when
playoff time rolls around. They've
won the cup only twice in the
last five years.
Many reasons have been ad-
vanced for the letdown In the
playoffs, the main being the
Red Wings burn themselves out
winning the regular-season
championship 'and lack the
stamina in the playoffs. That
seemed to be the case last year
when they swept to the pennant
but were eliminated by the Bos-
ton Bruins, a team which they
had walloped all season, in a
stunning first-round upset.
Howe, of course, is the Red Wing
leader but he led them nowhere
Maurice Richard's record of 50
goals in one season. Howe missed
by one but what really hurt was
that he had little left for the play-
offs.
THIS YEAR it's different, the
Red Wings say. "Howe is a 50 per
cent better player now than he
was at this time last year," says
Detroit General Manager Jack
Adams.

That seems to be true. TheI
big right winger is at peak form,
finishing the season strongly
as he captured his fourth
straight league scoring title with
81 points.
Toronto will be bucking a jinx
in the first two games against De-
troit. The Leafs haven't won a
game on Detroit ice this season,
losing five and tying two. Further-
more, they were shut out five times
and scored only four goals.
The Maple Leafs, however, a:e
rated as hockey's best playoff club.
They've won the regular-season
championship only once but lead
in Stanley Cup victories, with sev-
en. Detroit has won the Stanley
Cup five times, the same amount
as Montreal.

Michigan's 1954 varsity tennis
squad will open a 15-meet sched-
ule with a southern training trip
of four matches early in. April,
Coach Bill Murphy announced.
The Wolverines, who finished
third in the Western Conference
last season, will open their south-

tory at the Cleveland Knights of
Columbus Track Meet last Friday
in a field of the nation's crack cin-
der squads,
Coach Don Canham's quartet
was clocked in 7:39.3, the fastest
time run by a college team this
year. The time which set a new
K of C meet record in Cleveland,
eclipses the Wolverine varsity rec-
ord of 7:39.8.
AMAZINGLY enough, Michigan
broke the record on a board track.
The two-mile distance consisted of
24 laps around the track, whereas
the ordinary indoor oval is 16 laps
for a two-mile distance.
Roy Christiansen started off
the race for Michigan, and fin-
ished in a tie with the Fordham
starter. John Moule and John
Ross ran the middle positions of
the event. Ross turned in a very
fastvtime of 1:52.8 to pace the
Wolverine relaymen,
Pete Gray ran the anchor lap
and crossed the finish line with
some distance to spare. Fordham,
along with Syracuse, went into the
2-mile relay undefeated in com-
petition this year. The'Pittsburgh
squad took first place in the Mil-
waukee Journal Relays two weeks
ago.
The race was close most of the
distance. Anchorman Gray, tak-
ing the baton from Ross, stretched
the Wolverines' lead over game
Fordham and Syracuse which were
in the race until the finish. Michi-
gan did not have the lead until
Ross took the number one posi-
tion in the third leg of the relay.
Of the teams entered, Michigan
State, Fordham and Pitt had de-
feated the Michigan team earlier
this season.
