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. elayTeam Establishes 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. Campaigns RON GORA ... 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.

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 All men interested in trying out for the freshman golf team report at the Intramural Build- ing on Wednesday, March 24, at 4:30 p.m. -Rod Grambeau 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. 4 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. Netmen Open orWith Alabama 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- ern jaunt against the University of Alabama April 5. Murphy will send his squad against Spring Hill College at Mobile, Ala., on April 7, and then go to New Orleans, La., to meet Loyola April 8 and Tulane on April 9.

June 21-26-NCAA Tournament at Se- attle, Wash. 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. 1 New Captain Andy Kaul, 137-pound West- ern Conference wrestling cham- pion, has been elected captain of the 1955 Wolverine squad. Kaul is undefeated in two years of dual meet competition and his only defeat in the past two years was in the Western Conference championships to Pete Compton, the reigning champion from Illinois.
