The Wardrops, who hail from Motherwell, Scotland, had a hand in four Michigan victories and two second places against the previous- ly undefeated Spartans. * * * JACK SWAM a leg on the rec- ord breaking 400 yard free style re- lay team, scored a victory in the 100 yard crawl, and registered a first place in the individual med- ley completing the 150 yard course in near record time. Bert gave notice to the breast- strokers around the college swimming circuit that he will be a man to be reckoned with at the Nationals, when he gave State's national champion John Dudek a sensational race, only to be touched out at the-finish. Bert also completed the breast- stroke leg on the winning medley relay team, and finished second to his brother in the individual med- ley when he gutted out the last fifty yards with a shoulder sep- aration. * * * WITH THE Wardrops coming eligible for competition Matt Mann can now present an air tight line- up to the Wolverines' remaining opponents for the 1954 season. Both boys became swimming stars in a country that is short on pools and even shorter on coaches. As Bert explains it, "A boy in England who wants to. become a competitive swimmer must progress under his own in- itiative with little encourage- ment." The Scottish aces, who began to take dips at the age of six, were fourteen years old when they swam for Scotland against England in the Empire Games. Upon gradua- tion from high school the Swim- ming Scots doned the uniform of the RAF, a compulsory action for all young citizens of the British Isles. IN 1950 the Michigan stars trad- ed their RAF uniforms for swim- ming trunks and started the long and grueling process of working themselves back into competitive competition. Before the 1952 Olym- pics Jack set a British Empire rec- ord for the 100 yard freestyle and brother Bert posted a new Empire record for the backstroke at a similiar distance. In the '53 Olympics the name Wardrop began to receive inter- national recognition. Jack was the British captain and Bert was one of the squad's more promi- nent members. Both men were impressive in their particular events, and returned to Scot- land respected competitors and sportsmen. The English Lit majors first came into contact with Coach Matt Mann and Michigan when Mann took the Wolverine team on a tour of some of the European countries. The Olympians always had a de- sire to study in America, and to prove themselves in American swimming competition, the finest in the world. WHEN IT CAME to choosing a school the boys hit on Michigan, and have become a near legend in Ann Arbor swimming annals after participating in only one meet. After the slaughter of the Spar- tans, Jack and Bert are optimis- tic about the Maize and Blue's chances in the Big Ten and Na- tional championships. As of now things are bright in the Michigan camp, and the dou- ble dose of 'swimming dynamite from Scotland is a paramount cause for the high hopes of the Michigan students, and many Wol- verine swimming fans.

Beginning on Friday, February 5, with just 11 men in uniform, the Maize and Blue twice defeated a young, aggressive Michigan Tech team at Houghton, Michigan. Two days later in Ann Arbor, playing with only three hours sleep in the previous 24 due to transportation difficulties, the Wolverines handed a highly rated Denver University squad its worst defeat of the season, an 11-4 shellacking. * * * * THE FOLLOWING NIGHT Michigan, for the first time in the four year old Denver series, made it a clean sweep of the two vital games in the Western Hockey League schedule. Riding a five game winning streak, which started with a much needed victory over Minnesota's Gophers up at Minneapolis in the second of the series in the northland, the Michigan icemen closed out the nine day marathon with two decisive wins over a strong Colorado College sextet. This steady rise in Michigan's bid for national hockey leadership can be attributed to two things-leadership and team spirit. Led by "All-American" team Captain Jim Haas, on the ice, and by Vic, "The Builder of Champions," Heyliger off the ice, the team has steadily developed a great group spirit that binds the men together into a strong, cohesive team. It is these two elements that enable the Maize and Blue of Mi- chigan to once more ride the pinnacle of collegiate hockey. DOUG MULLEN, one of Michi- gan's greatest hockey stars, shows in the adjoining article that he is as handy with a typewriter as he is with a hockey stick. Mullen Sparks Wolverine Puck Attack j' , By PHIL DOUGLIS A blue streak swept down the ice, pivoted sharply, and fired the puck into the Colorado College net. The huge crowd at the Coliseum went wild as the man in blue raised his armabove his head,' held his stick high in the air, and came back up the ice with a wide grin creasing his redish face. M * THE GENTLEMAN who had caused all this commotion was Doug "Moon" Mullen, crack cen- ter of Michigan's first line and currently the top scorer on the Wolverine hockey squad. Mullen, who is the only Michi- gan resident on the team, hails from Grass Lake, and is respect- ed throughout the league for his deadly shots and timely assists. The husky senior is also respect- ed by his teammates. Goalie Bill Lucier terms him the "old pro," while sophomore Bill MacFarland, who is no slouch with a hockey stick himself, calls Mullen "the smartest man in the league." * * * HIS HEADS-UP play at all times, his ability to be "on the spot" at the right moment, and his all-around aggressive play have certainly merited that title. Al- though one of the most aggressive players in the league, he has rela- tively few penalties called against him. In fact, Coach Vic Heyliger makes frequent use of Mullen's adept stick-handling ability to work off. Michigan penalties. Physically, the persistent Mul- len is in better shape this sea- son than ever before. Prior to the opening of the current cam- paign, Mullen shed around 13 pounds and the reducing has paid off in the scoring column. Leading the team in scoring with a total of 46 points in the 16 games to date, the veteran playmaker has Daily's sport page, which appears for the first time today. The Grass Lake senior, who is married and has a two-year-old daughter, is not the only mem- ber of the family who wields a hockey stick. His younger broth- er Mel played last year for Den- ver, and though he is not going to school this year, he will pro- bably return to the Pioneer forces next fall to bolster Neil Celley's squad. Mullen, who never wastes a move when he is out on the ice, learned his hockey at DeLaSall.e High School in Toronto, his home town before he migrated to Michigan. He gained more knowledge of thel game playing amateur hockey in Detroit while attending Highland Park Junior College prior to en- tering Michigan. As the Wolverines drive towardt a NCAA title berth at Colorado Springs next month, much will be expected of Mullen. It will be his responsibility not only to execute but to set up the key plays that must materialize if Michigan is to get a title bid. Heyliger is confi- dent that the "old pro" of Mich- igan hockey can live up to that assignment.

At Royal Oak High School cross country was his specialty, and heI holds three course records in theE sport. His efforts were not con- fined to distance running, though,e as he starred in the 440-yard run,t the half mile, and mile runs. THIS YEAR Christiansen is running on the 2-mile relay team, usually in the third position, al- thoUgh he ran anchor on the re- lay team in the Michigan AAU meet held at Yost Field House. Trailing at the start of the final lap of the race, Christiansen surg- ed ahead of the Michigan State anchorman Lyle Garbe and finish- ed about 15 yards ahead at the tape. The middle distance ace was 1 7 7 r 1 Shell Representatives will visit the University of Michigan a mnember of the Wolverine two- mile relay team that last year set a varsity indoor record of 7:39.9. The 5-8, 140-pound senior from Royal Oak plans to enter the Law School next fall and is now in LS&A. He stays in good physical condition the year around and has little trouble working up to a running pace when the track sea- son begins. * * * CHRISTIANSEN broke family tradition when he was born in the United States 21 years ago, having been the first member of his family to be born outside Den- mark in 1400 years. His father, a civil engineer, decided to bring his family to the United States in the late120s in search of a job in "the land of opportunity." When asked why he partici- pated in the cinder sport, Chris- tiansen replied, "I find compe- tition healthy and a balance to the academic side of college life." When asked about the Western Conference indoor and outdoor track meets, the Wolverine star commented, "I think we will win the indoor meet at Champaign, but I'm doubtful about the out- door meet at Purdue." With the track team traveling throughout the country by plane, Christiansen estimates he flies about 10,000 miles a year. The trip east between semesters and the trip west during the spring recess are the big mileage makers for the thinclads. Roy claims that steady work in high school is the big factor that has made him one of Michigan's fastest half milers in his relative- ly young track career. Dilligent workouts have developed his strong finishand might give him a chance to compete in the 1000- yard run, an event recently in- corporated in the Big Ten track. schedule.

His high spot of the season came in the second game against Colorado College when he netted two goals and add- ed four assists for a six point total.
