William Call NO 2-0035 RIP GOPHERS TWICE: Icers Eye North Dakota As Playoff Hopes Rise By DON LENDMAN Despite the news that Ohio State's Al Wiggins has lowered his national individual medley record to 1:26.2, Michigan's swimming team was quietly confident yester- day as it started its final week of practice before the crucial dual meet encounter with the national champion Buckeyes this Saturday afternoon in the' Varsity Pool. The hopeful proteges of Coaches Gus Stager and Bruce Harlan First Come, First Served! Tickets for the swimming meet with Ohio State will be available only on the day of the meet at the Varsity Pool door. The meet is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. manhandled Iowa's tank team last Saturday, 62-31, to continue un- beatenain dual meet competition. The last dual meet defeat for the Wolverines came at the hands of the same Buckeye squad in last year's encounter at Columbus. Michigan freestyler Jack War- drop warmed up for his encounter with Buckeye Ford Konno by turn- ing in a time of 2:05.1 for the 220- yard event, breaking his own pool and varsity record of 2:05.4. The NCAA champion over the 220-yard distance, Wardrop missed Konno's national mark by only four-tenths of a second. Konno's best time of the season is a 2:05.3, good enough for only a second place finish against Indiana's Bill Woolsey. John O'Reilly, who topped Iowa's Ross "Buddy" Lucas in both the 220 and 440-yard free- style, and Harrison Wehner, edged out by Lucas in a tight battle for second in the 440, also were bright spots in the one-sided'victory. Lu- cas, who placed sixth in the long- er event in the 1954 Big Ten meet, has been one of the better distance freestylers in the confer- ence for the past two years. Knox In Shape Another hearteiing performance was the race turned in by Bob Knox in anchoring the free style relay. The Wolverine junior kept pace with All-American Dick Pen- nington over most of the 100-yard distance, only to fade in the final few yards. His effort was good enough to produce a time of under :53, however. DON CANHAM LORNE HOWES ... awaits Buckeyes ... a job well done Th inclads o 0Trys fr Win in Row ThsAteno By DAVE GREY Coach Vic Heyliger's "never say die" hockey forces have returned to Ann Arbor after a clean sweep of two games with Minnesota this past weekend and are now setting their sights on overcoming Michi- gan Tech's one-half point lead in the wild race for second place in the Western Intercollegiate Hock- ey League, and an NCAA playoff berth. If the Wolverines can manage to beat North Dakota twice this coming Friday and Saturday in a four-point series here and Mich- igan Tech were to lose two to league-leading Colorado College, Michigan wo ul1d automatically gain the much sought after play- off berth. Tech Needs Win If Tech can manage at least to split the Colorado series, the final outcome will hinge on the Michi- gan-Michigan Tech two - game clash the following weekend at the Coliseum. Defense has been the key to the recent surge of the determined Michigan sextet. Goalie Lorne Howes was little short of sensa- tional in holding John Mayasich and Company to three meager tal- lies in the two games at Minne- apolis. Heyliger also praised the fine work by defensemen Bob Schiller, Bob Pitts and Mike Bu- chanan and Bernie Hanna. The 5-2 and 3-1 whippings of the erratic Gophers were the 3rd and 4th straight league wins in a row for Michigan. The reinstate- ment of Tom Rendall, who has garnered seven goals in four games since his return, and the addition of Mike Buchanan have definitely added the needed offensive spark and depth. Michigan Hopes at Peak The Maize and Blue hopes are at the highest peak so far this season, but Heyliger is still not overly optimistic when he looks at the tough games ahead. "We have a 50-50 chance" of making the playoffs," says Heyliger. His squad is tired and he looks for North Da- kota to be "awfully rugged." wolverines Follow Syracuse, NYU in AA U Two-Mile Relay 1 I A sparkling 1:52.7 leg by John MouIe wasn't enough Saturday night as Michigan's two-mile re- lay team..finished third in the National AAU meet at Madison SquareGarden. Syracuse won the event, and Card to a Catalog by Push Button II Excellent Personnel to please you:! was followed by New York Univer- sity and the Wolverines. George- town's Hoyas laced fourth and highly-touted Manhattan dropped to fifth. Michigan's time was its best of the season, 7:44.0. Also competing under the Gar- den roof was freshman pole vault- er Eeles Landstrom, who cleared 14 feet but was in a field which had six vaulters, including Bob Rich- 'ards and Don Laz, over the 14'6" mark. Saturday was an off-day for Don Canham's tracksters, since a scheduled dual meet with Illinois at Yost Field House was cancelled. By STEVE HEILPERN Michigan's high-flying track squad seeks its third straight dual meet victory .of the indoor season as it takes on Ohio State at Yost Field House this afternoon. The meet is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. The Buckeyes, who haven't beaten the Wolverines since 1949, will offer topnotch competition in the broad jump, 60-yard dash, mile run, and the mile and two-mile re- lays. The squad from Columbus will also press the hosts in the 440 and 880 events. Ohio coach Larry Snyder is counting on Lee Williams, a sopho- more star, to challenge Junior Stielstra and Tom Hendricks in the broad jump. Williams has leaped over 23 feet in his first year of competition, and is also a threat in the 60-yard sprint. Snyder will send milers Bob Weadick and Guy Beretich against John Moule, who recently ran the fastest mile of the indoor colle- giate season, 4:09.9. Weadick is capable of bettering 4:16, and a nip-and-tuck race is expected. The Buckeye speedster finished fourth in last winter's Big Ten 1,- 000 yard run, and has been im- proving steadily. OSU has Frank Zubovich, Al Roberts, Don Bartels and Meade Burnett "available for the mile re- lay. The foursome completed the course in 3:20.0 against Kansas earlier this season, 2.5 seconds bet- ter than Michigan's time against Notre Dame. Wolverine mentor Don Canham admits this may be the most interesting event of the day. The quarter-mile will see Bur- nett vie against Michigan veteran Grant Scruggs-another close one. Scruggs turned in a 49.5 440 against the Irish, but Burnett, who finished sixth in the NCAA event here last summer, offers stiff com- petition. The Wolverines' Pete Gray, who raced to a meet record of 1:54.5 in the 880 against Notre Dame, faces a stiff test when he faces Bartels, who has been clocked in 1:55.0. Bartels finished fourth in the Con= ference indoor 880 last winter. Michigan closes its dual meet schedule when it hosts Michigan Normal here Saturday afternoon. The Ypsilanti school usually comes up with one of the country's finer small college squads, and should provide the Wolverines with a good warmup test for the Big Ten meet, which will be held at East Lansing, March 4-5.
