It's official!
The State of Michigan Senate
has unanimously adopted a reso-

swimming coach, Matt Mann. The
69-year-old coach, retiring after
29 years at the Wolverine helm,j
thereby adds still another tribute
to the growing list of honors al-
ready accorded him.
Mann, who coached Michigan to
16 Big Ten titles, is presently in
Syracuse, where his final team will
make a bid for the National Col-
legiate Athletic Association cham-
pionship. Mann was also coach of
the United State's 1948 Olympic
team at London, directing it to
a lop-sided Olympic victory.

By PHIL DOUGLIS
When Michigan's Vic Heyliger
was selected as college hockey
coach-of-the-year last week in
Boston, it came as no surprise to
many fans and experts, for his
name has been synonomous with
the sport for over 18 years.
The stocky Heyliger has piled
up by far the most impressive rec-
ord of anyscollege hockey coach
in recent history. In his first dec-
ade as Michigan coach, Heyliger's
squad as won 173 games against
49 losses and nine ties, and had
garnered four out of seven nation-
al championships.
* * *
THOUGH Heyliger's current
team failed to win the NCAA title,
the coach-of-the-year title was
still well deserved, for he guided
the squad to a sensational stretch
drive, going 11 straight games
without defeat.
Add to this roaring finish the
service that Heyliger has done
for college hockey during hii
10 year reign at Michigan, andI
you can readily see why he was
awarded the Penrose Trophy.
This service was mainly the
founding of the Midwest (now
Western) Hockey League. Back in
the fall of 1951, while raising a
family which includes two boys
and two girls, and coaching his
team to a national title, Heyliger
was founder, president, statisti-
cian, publicity man, and schedule
maker of the new league.
HEYLIGER, born 38 years ago
in Roxbury, Mass., played high
school hockey at Concord, Mass.,
prep school hockey at Lawrence
Academy, and then moved on to
Michigan where he made All-
American center in 1936 and 193.7,
and also played on one of Ray
Fisher's Big Ten baseball cham-
pionship squads.
The cigar chomping coach still
chuckles when he recalls his
greatest night back in 1937,
when Michigan squared off
against a rugged Minnesota
squad at the Coliseum. In the
nets for the Gophers was Bud
Wilkinson, now better known
as the coach of Oklahoma's pow-
erhouse football teams.
Heyliger gave Wilkinson a night
to remember by pouring in five
goals, and that may have been
the blow that drove Wilkinson
into football for a career.
* * *
UPON graduating from Michi-
gan, the Chicago Blackhawks of

the National Hockey League sign-
ed Heyliger, and a short but bril-
liant professional career was un-
derway. In each of his first three
games, Heyliger scored, and as the
season progressed, he aided the
Blackhawks to a Stanley Cup play-
off berth,
Heyliger lost a chance to play
in the Stanley Cup series when
he acquired a bad case of ton-
silitis. But the Hawks won the
Cup anyway, and in a few years
Heyliger entered the coaching
ranks.
The aggressive ex-pro found
himself at the University of Illi-
nois in 1940, and was a fixture in
Champaign until 1943. While at
the Orange and Blue helm, he
coached the Illini to a tie with
Southern California for the then
mythical national title, and alsoI
guided them to two Big Ten titles.
* * *
IN 1944, Heyliger switched to
Michigan, beginning the greatest
hockey era in Wolverine history.
For a decade now, the black haired
coach has been guiding -Michigan
ice fortunes, always a stickler for
long hard parctice s.essions, hard
rugged play, and undying spirit.
The Wolverines rose under him to
the pinnacle of college hockey,
holding their own before the best
of American and Canadian opposi-
tion.
An example of the great in-
ternational rivalry that Heyliger
has initiated is the Toronto Se-
ries for the Thompson Cup.
Michigan has dominated this
series, the greatest win coming
in 1946
Heyliger,who runs a summer
camp and is on the NCAA rules
committee in the off season, passes
most of the credit. to his players.
He summed up his coaching phi-
losophy after he won the 1948 na-
tional title when he said "We have
all-around co-operation. No one
is an individual star, and it is
teamwork that finally pays off,
such as it has for us.,

IT WAS Lofgran's performance
that led the San Francisco bas-
ketball team to the championship
of the National Invitation Tourn-
ament in New York in 1949. The
previously unheralded quintet en-
tered the tourney an overwhelm-
ing underdog, but it defeated
Manhattan, Utah, Bowling Green,
and finally, Loyola, to win the
^oveted title.
The NIT that year, featured
some of the best teams in the
country. Such famed basketball
s'hools as Loyola, Biwling Green,
Kentucky, St. Louis, Utah, New
York University and Bradley
were present to battle for the
tourney trophy.
Among those impressive names,
everybody had overlooked the out-
fit from the West Coast. Their
quick and easy defeat was expect-
ed, and it was with amazement
that the country watched them
defeat the nation's basketball
giants.
LOFGRAN, a six-foot six inch
center electrified the sophisticated
New York audience with deadly
one-handed push shots. The. wiry,
curly-haired player soon became
a favorite of the fans as he rolled
up point after point in the "tour-
nament of stars."
His brilliant performances in
play-making, guarding and scor-
ing played a major part in net-
ting the San Francisco team
the NIT crown. From a com-
paratively unknown college play-
er he zoomed into the attention
of the public almost overnight.
One newspaper writer summed
up his playing: "Lofgran, with the
ease of a boy dropping apples into
a washtub, flipped in field goals
from every angle of the court, and
proved a dead-eye shot from the
foul line."
The ex-star's confession to the
Oakland California police and his
subsequent jailing, seems to mark
the unfortunate end of a career'
that had been watched -with inter-
est by many basketball fans.

"FLASH" BROWN'S
TWO-HEADED
BROTHER
Y 1
A certain Sophomore named Brown acquired the
appellation "Flash," not because he was lightning on the
gridiron, but just because he was never without an answer.
You'd pass him on the quadrangle and say "How's it goin',
Flash?" He'd answer, "Air Express." Get the pitch?
Brown often referred to his "two-headed brother" in
conversations. One day a few men in his fraternity were
needling him.
"Your brother's two heads must present quite a few problems."
"Not really. The only problem was his neatness," said Flash.
"Neatness?". "Yes," answered Flash, "he worried about it.
Said he couldn't find a shirt that didn't wrinkle around the
collar. You see, he was often looking in two directions
at once, or eating and talking on the telephone.
Hard on a collar."
"What did you do?" They knew he did something about it.
Simple. I got him the Van Heusen Century shirt with the
exclusive softicollar that won't wrinkle ever! I got him
