Especially on the offensive boards, Bill Perigo's squad was in- effective. They rarely had a chance to follow up on a shot. Another big factor was Michi- gan's free throw record-15 for 26 from the 15t-foot mark. Kramer hit on four of his 10 attempts to help account for the unenviable rec- ord. Illinois, while not hot from the foul line, had a fairly respec- table 25-for-36 mark for the eve- ning. Only one Wolverine, captain Paul Groff sky, fouled out, but *.three others--Kramer, Eaddy and Jorgenson-were playing with four personals when the final buzzer sounded. Two sophomore centers - 6'4" Hiles Stout and 6'7%" George BonSalle--scored 17 and 12 points, respectively, to augment Judson's total.

Jack Wardrop, the man who shocked the swimming world Sat- urday by cutting nearly a full sec- ond off Ford Konno's world rec- ord for the 220-yard freestyle, was still smiling yesterday as he spoke about his record-breaking achieve- ment against a strong Ohio State squad. World Record Wardrop had smiled even more Saturday when his time of 2:03.9 was announced as a new world mark. "I've had my eyes on that rec- ord for 15 years," said the Wolver- ine who handed record-holder Konno a nine-foot beating while setting the new standard. Getting back to the race, War- drop-mused, "I couldn't afford to think much about that record; we had a meet to win. With Bert sick we had to worry about points, not records. The way we had it figured, the meet sort of revolved around Bert, and we didn't know how much good he would be to us since he had just gotten out of the hospital." The "Bert" referred to was Bert Wardrop, Jack's twin brother and quite a swimmer in his own right' Bert had spent the past three days in the hospital, and no one knew ILLINOIS G F P T Brothers, f .... 3 0 2 6 Dutcher, f ..... 0 0 0 0 Altenberger, f .. 5 0 1 10 Schmidt, f ..... 2 1 4 5 Bon Salle, c ... 3 6 3 12 Stout, c ....... 5 7 3 17 Plew, g ........ 0 0 1 0 Sterneck, g ... 0 0 0 0 Ridley, g ...... 2 3 0 7 Paul Judson, g . 8 5 2 21 Phil Judson, g . 0 .3 0 3 Totals .......28 25 16 81 Halftime: Illinois 44, Michigan 39 Free throws missed: Michigan- Kramer 6, Stern 2, Williams 2, Groffsky.

"It sure surprised me to find, out just how far ahead of Konno I actually was," continued Jack. "I didn't think much about where he was for the first couple of lengths." The 22-year old junior re- marked that on Saturday he hadn't felt capable of turning in a time anywhere near his sub-2:04 clocking. "I had been bothered by a cold most of the week," declared Jack, "and didn't expect to do real well. I guess I figured on something close to the record, but nothing like a 2:03.9." No Need to Worry As things turned out, there? wasn't much need to worry about Bert. Coach Gus Stager entered him in the freestyle leg of the medley relay "to see if he was strong enough to go 100 yards in the crucial freestyle relay," and the Scotch All-American respond- ed with a sparkling :51.3 effort which gave Michigan a surprise win in the medley. Stager views that unexpected first-event win as the turning point in the meet. The psycholog- ical effect on the Maize-and-Blue squad was marked and, coupled with Wardrop's record and the Wolverine sweep of the 50-yard freestyle in the next two events, gave the team the necessary boost to carry it to a win. By PHIL DOUGLIS It's hard to believe, but it's true! Almost as if it was stolen from fiction, Michigan's cinderella hockey team once again is Colo- rado bound-this time for the eighth straight year. After a miserable start, the Wolverines slowly picked up mo- mentum, and after another mid- season slump, roared to eight vic- tories in ten starts, six of them in a row. It was enough to sew up second place in the Western Hockey. League, and a berth in the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Associa- tion's tournament, set for Colo- rado Springs' Broadmoor Ice Pal- ace on March 10, 11 and 12. A 'Rebuilding' Year? This was supposed to be a "re- building year" for Vic Heyliger's squad, one year away from NCAA tourney caliber. Early results bore this out. Shortly after midseason, however, the desperately short- handed Wolverines picked up fleet Tom Rendall after a transfer eli- gibility squabble, and also added rugged defenseman Mike Buchan- an. The tide turned. The Michigan State Spartans were swept off their feet twice, the favored Goph- ers of Minnesota were blasted clean off their own ice by the Hey- ligermen, and just this last week- end the most incredible chapter of all was added. North Dakota's fiery Sioux, al team that had title aspirations of its own, moved into Michigan Col- iseum for a four-point series. Pes- simists gloomily predicted the end of Michigan "luck." They were dead wrong. Nodaks Smashed Not only did Michigan beat North Dakota, but never in recent memory did such a supposedly "good" team take such horrendous beatings as did Fido Purpur's No- daks. Michigan, already smelling the sweet Rocky Mountain air, open- ed up with the most devastating scoring barrage seen here this year to sweep the series, 7-0. and 7-2. "All-American" Dakota- goalie Jerry Schultz was like a mirage, as 14 Wolverine shots rang through the Nodak nets. Itrwas as if the Wolverines were playing a high school team. Tech Loses Meanwhile, up at snow-swept Houghton, Michigan, Colorado College sewed up the league crown by beating dangerous Michigan Tech, two times-and thereby giv- ing Michigan the second place slot on a silver platter. Cheddy Thompson, coach of the champion Tigers really "isn't such a bad guy after all" in the words of several Michigan hockey players. For the first time this season, Michigan showed that it had morekthan one line. Againstthe Nodaks such men as Jerry Kar- pinka and Jay Goold showed that they too can score if necessary. But the real glory went to the famed "production" line of Cap- tain Bill MacFarland, Tommy Rendall and Dick Dunnigan. MacFarland garnered a hat trick, Rendall tallied six goals in the two games, and the fiery Dun- nigan, one of the smallest men in college hockey, scored a brace of his own, and assisted on six others. Defense Sharp Coach Heyliger was also quick to please his defense. Bob Schil- ler, Bob Pitts, Mike Buchanan, Entries for the intramural all-campus table tennis com- petition must be in by Thurs- day,.March 3. -Bob Welke and Bernie Hanna were virtually air tight for the second straight weekend. But the real star was goalie Lorne Howes, who kicked out nearly everything that came his way, even when the odds were stacked hopelessly against him. This weekend, the Michigan icers look toward a tune-up series with Michigan Tech, now out of tourney contention. A feature will be the appearance in the nets of Bill Lucier, the capable goalie who has ridden the bench in deference to Iowes all season long. Lucier, the last remnant of a National Championship team, is the only senior on the team, and will make the season's only league appear- ance on Saturday night. Meanwhile, teams in the east are still fighting it out to gain an NCAA playoff berth. At last word, St. Lawrence, Clarkson and Harvard are still in contention. WIHL STANDINGS TOM RENDALL ... Colorado bound Nielsen Works With Thinclads World indoor mile record holder Gunnar Nielsen arrived here yes- terday and will woriK out with Michigan's track squad for two days. Nielsen, who has been one of the: standouts of the indoor track sea- son, broke the mile mark with a phenomenal 4:03.6 in New York's Milrose Games, defeating Wes Santee and Fred Dwyer. Battled Santee, Dwyer The tall, red-haired Dane has been battling Santee and Dwyer along the Eastern track circuit all winter long, and the trio has treated spectators to some breath- taking races. He plans to return to New York tomorrow night, and will return to native Denmark the following day. Nielsen said he enjoyed his stay in the United States, and hopes to return later this year-possibly for May's Los Angeles Coliseum Re- lays. Canadian Pros Sign Walker Art Walker, Michigan's star football tackle, signed with Cana- da's Edmonton Eskimos over the weekend. Walker, who was named to many all-American teams for his fine performance last season, spurned an offer by the Green Bay Packers, who had National Foot- ball League draft rights to him. Fine Senior Year The 177-pound tackle came into his own in his senior year and was a bulwark on both offense and de- fense. This followed a disappoint- ing junior season, one which was marked with injuries. The New Spring Collegiate Cuts!! The' ,'re suave, smart individualistic- TRY ONE! The Daseola Barbers near Michigan Theatre By JIM BAAD Michigan track coach Don Can- ham plans on a close battle with Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois when the Big Ten meets for the indoor championships next Friday and Saturday. Three Wolverine cindermen who have a good chance for victories in the coming contest are Pete Gray, John Moule and Mark Booth. Each will have an opponent who is a top performer, however, so none of the events will be easy. Cryer, Gray to Battle Gray will match strides with Il- linois' Henry Cryer, a returned war veteran who ran a 1:50.1 half mile last year, and is getting close to that mark again this semester.

Iowa's Rich Ferguson was clocked at 4:04.5 at the British Empire games last year, and Jim Lambert of Indiana is just three tenths of a second under Moule's best effort of 4:09.9. Canham feels though, that Moule hasit in him to take the mile in question. M' Has Weaknesses Canham is worried about sever- al other events which haven't the optimistic outlook that the above have. "On the basis of dual meet performance this year," he said, "we have no right to expect a con- ference place in the high hurdles, broad jump, pole vault, or the sprints, including the 300." As an example, he pointed out some events in last Saturday's meet which were disappointing. He lamented to the fact that "our sprinting, high jump, pole vault, and shot put were alright, but they just weren't up to Big Ten stand- ards." Wallingford's Best "Tom Hendricks has been run- ning the hurdles well, but there are four men in the conference with better times. Also, Ron Wal- lingford with his time of 9:18.3, is bettered by Carl Johnson of Il- linois, and in the two mile relay, Indiana has a faster team by the record," explained Canham re- garding hopes in these depart- ments. In the 440, Michigan's Grant Scruggs is a hopeful, but again there are three men who have run it faster. Last years champ, Ralph Fessenden of Illinois, has sprinted the distance in :49.0 seconds flat and looks like the man to beat. Summed up, it appears definite- Iy that the Western Conference Indoor meet is going to be a tight four team race, and Michigan's chances are hard to determine. I I SETS FIELD HOUSE MARK: Moule Displays Improvement in Mile 1 J-_l By STEVE HEILPERN John Moule may be a lot closer to track stardom than he thinks he is. Although the 22-year-old senior isn't quite sure whether he can again match his brilliant 4:09.9 mile in the recent Notre Dame meet, Michigan coach Don Can- ham feels that he has a good chance of shaving a couple of secondsoff his time by the end of the season. Moule, whose best time for the run previous to this year was 4:12.9 (and on an outdoor track, where faster times are usually re- corded), finds himself possessor of the fastest indoor collegiate mile in the nation for this season. Greater Speed Canham believes that greater leg speed has been the big factor in Moule's rapid improvement. "John is now as good as any col- lege miler in this department," claims Canham, "giving him that extra kick whenever he needs it." r Moule stands an excellent chance of breaking John Ross' Michigan indoor record of 4:09.4, set in 1952, and Don McEwen's outdoor mork of 4:09.0, set in the previous year. Right at this mo- ment, however, Moule is directing his thoughts to the coming Big Ten meet. Jim Lambert of Indiana and Rich Ferguson of Iowa will furnish his main oppositio:t in the Confer- ence meet this Friday and Satur- day. Both have run under 4:10, and Moule will have to be at his best to come out on top. While it is taken for granted that a miler must be in top con- dition if he expects to win, Moule stresses the importance of being in the right frame of mind. He il- lustrates this with a story about Australia's John Landy, one of the world's greatest runners: Met Landy "I was fortunate- enough to meet Landy last summer at Vancouver, where we both competed in the British Empire Games, and I could tell that he wasn't going to beat (Roger) Bannister. He didn't have the complete confidence that Bannister had before the race. That was the difference between the two, as I saw it." Moule, captain of the current Michigan track aggregation, was a member of the cross country squad last fall, and placed fourth in the Conference meet, which the Wolverines won. He developed as a runner in Hamilton, Ontario, where he was born. The Hamilton Olympic Club helped prepare him for later com- petition by giving hi inexperience in everything from sprints to six- mile cross-country jaunts. He and the mile have adopted each other, and they seem perfect- ly suited. POSITIC Utrich's Book Stor for an ambitious y( Tigers Get Reprimand LAKELAND, FLA. RP)-Baseball Commnissioner Ford Frick warned yesterday that he will fine the Detroit Tigers if he finds evidence the squad has jumped the gun on the March 1 start for spring train- ing. In an unprecedented move to- day, Frick fined theI Milwaukee Braves $500 and levied individual fines against 14 players for ad- vance workouts. Similar Violations Frick wired the Tigers he had reports of similar v.iolations of the training rule. "I am alert to the situation," Frick wired. "In addition to Mil- waukee, other clubs are being in- vestigated. If we find violations we will act in accordance with baseball law." Tiger Manager Bucky Harris denied his squad had violated the rule, "I wired Frick his reports were news to me," Harris said. "We have followed all the rules. If some of the kids have been run- ning on their own, I don't see what anyone can do about it." Some early arrivals at the Tiger training camp have been exercis- ing at a high school field.
