It was on that evening that Mich- igan basketball reached' its mod- ern day pinnacle, its last claim gain the Big Nine basketball cham- pionship. Iowa, led by diminutive Murray Weir, constituted the last stum- bling block to the fired up Wolver- ines, and the Cowles squad pro- ceeded to remove the obstacle with dispatch. At half time, Michigan led, 29- 22, and the title seemed within grasp, but as the seconl half opened, the Iowans came roaring back to knot the score at 31-31. The Wolverines had become panic- stricken and Missed on 14 straight field goal attempts, plus a pair of free throws. Substitutes Help Suddenly Cowles called a time out. Off the bench raced substi- tutes Hall Morrill and Boyd Mc- Caslin. Teaming with the great Mark Suprunowicz, Bill Roberts, and Pete Elliot, the pair sparked the Wolverines to their first title since 1929. As the crowd went wild, Michi- gan dumped in eight straight points, and the Hawkeyes were a broken outfit. With the lanky Rob- erts turning in some nice defens- ive work, the Wolverines coasted home the victors and champions. A wild celebration was touched off, and Michigan had seen a bas- ketball night that it will long re- member. It had seen a basketball champion crowned. Today, nearly seven years later, it is still waiting for another. By DICK CRAMER Michigan begins its rugged three month long winter sports schedule tonight as the Wolverine hockey team opens its 1954-55 season in the first of a two game weekend series with the McGill University Redmen at 8:00 at the Hill street Coliseum.

Each contributed two' goals when McGill won the second game of last year's series with the Wolverines. Other holdovers for the Redmen from last year are forwards Pete Jotkus, Gord Currie, Jack McMul- lan, and Guy Bourgoin and de- fensemen John Henderson and Frank Slavin. In addition, Pete Constable is back as a forward. known of the returning skaters, McFarland, whose style closely resembles that of eDtroit Red Wings' Gordie Howe, scored 44 points last season on 26 goals and 18 assists in 21 games.

Let's Go otliug at FOR THOSE WEEKEND PARTIES Ice Cubes Keg Beer Soft Drinkso '" Sophomore Strengthens Tank Squad By BOB JONES Virtually buried under the press notices of the world's two fast- est individual medley swimmers, Michigan's Fritz Myers is poten- tially one of the best medley men in the country today. A sophomore, Myers will make his collegiate swimming debut to- night in the Michigan AAU Meet at the varsity pool. Although he has been overshadowed by the record-breaking performances of his teammates Bumpy Jones and Jack Wardrop in his specialty, Myers has turned in medley times which last year would have plac- ed him among the top ten swim- mers in the country. As a freshman, the versatile Ann Arborite covered the 150 yards in 1:34.8. This clocking, were freshmen eligible, would h'ave giv- en Myers ninth place on the Col- legiate All-American Team. Dangerous in Sprints Like most individual-medley- men, Myers is a dangerous oppon- ent in other events besides his specialty. His backstroke time as a freshman of 1:00.9 is fast in any man's tank. He is a respec- table sprinter also, having record- ed times of 24 seconds flat in the 50 yard free-style and :52.6 in the century sprint. This versatility will give Myers a chance to show his ability often and in a variety of events in his future career for the Maize and Blue. Coach Gus Stager has him entered in four events for to- night's meet: the 50 yard free, the 100 back, and the two relays. Myers is "home-town talent," something rare in Michigan ath- letics. His high-school swimming career was splashed out on the Ann Arbor High team, where he Tickets Tickets for both of this week- end's hckey games will be on sale today at the Athletic Ad- ministration Building until 4:30.

High School All-American He placed third in the state meet in the individual his senio year with a time of "about 1:40.' This clocking gave him 18th place on the Interscholastic All-Ameri- can Team. He swam on the Ann Arbor 200 yard free-style relay which placed 14th in the nation. A hard-driving comeptitor, My- ers has the necessary strength, ability and ambition to take him to the top. He is in the unique position of having to beat his own teammates to gain that summit. A IT'S HOCKEY TIME AGAIN! -- Going through preparations for tonight's opener with McGill are the three men who comprise Michigan's first line, George Dunningan (6), Captain Bill Mac- V.- Vatrland (7), andi Jerry nKarpinkia (8). 20th' CENTURY BOWLING 214 W.

Only Five Lettermen The Wolverines 13-man varsity roster lists only five lettermen and of the entire group there is one senior, three juniors, and nine sophomores. In contrast to Michigan's green squad, McGill has nine returning lettermen and several very prom- ising newcomers available for ac- tion in the games which are expect- ed to be definite indications of the strength of both teams. Leading the invaders from Mon- treal will be Ron Robertson, who 'was voted his team's most valu- able player last year, and Dick 7 YOUR WORRIES WILL BE OVER when you patronize THE STAR CLEANERS AND LAUNDRY 1213 S. University after a year's absence from the team. Three McGill Rookier Among the many newcomers for McGill are defenseman Phil Samis and forwards Paul Dingle and War- ren Alimond. Samis, has starred in Canadian amateur hockey ranks while Dingle and Alimond have had several years of experience on the squads of St. Francis Xavier Col- lege and Loyola College, respec- tively. Last year McGill, coached by "Rocky" Robillard, gained an even split in its two encounters with the Wolverines, both of which were played before near-capacity crowds here in Ann Arbor. Departed Wolverine right wing Pat Cooney scored the hat trick in sparking his team to an opening 7-2 triumph over the Redmen, but an early McGill lead in the second contest proved enough for the Ca- nadians to win, 7-5. McGill Wins First Game This year McGill got off on the right foot in its first game. In a tuneup for the series with yet-to- play Wolverines, the Redmen whitewashed the Loyola Warriers, 5-0. Baltzan, Bourgoin, Jotkus, Con- stable, and McMullan. were the scorers. In Michigan's hopes for a suc- cessful beginning of its ice season much is expected of the two Wol- verine centers, Captain Bill Mc- Farland and Tom Rendall. Best more hope for a better season than the size of the squad promises. Sophomores Flank MacFarland Flanking MacFarland in the Wil- verines first line tonight will be two sophomore wingmen, George Dinningan and Jerry Karpinka. With Rendall at center, the sec- ond line's wing positions will be manned by two lettermen, Jay Goold and Neil Buchanan. Another veteran forward, Yves Hebert, will be missing from the lineup this weekend because he has not fully recovered from a con- cussion suffered last month in a collision with freshman Doug Ru- dolph during practice. The absence of Hebert may -be somewhat offset by the recent ad- dition to,the squad of sophomore Baden Cosby, 155-pound wingman from Gravenhurst, Ontario. Cosby will probably see occasional action against McGill. Howes To Start Another sophomore of whom much is expected is goalie Lorne Howes. He has been given the nod over veteran Bill Lucier for to- night's starting assignment in front of the net. The three other newcomers to the Wolverine squad-Bob Schiller, Bernie Hanna, and Bob Pitts-will alternate at the two defense posi- tions. Tonight will mark the seventh battle between McGill and Michi- gan. Thus far in the series, each team has won three games. I i rs.
