Sigma Chi, Phi Delts Win
In First Place Cage.Tilts
'B' Basketball Semi-Final Playoff Rounds Also Won
By Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Sigs, Phi Kappa Sigma.

By MILT NATHANSON
Sigma Chi, sparked by Jim Bow-
man's 26 points, crushed Zeta Psi
last night, 69-14, to gain the third
round of the first place playoffs in
social fraternity 'B' basketball
competition.
Zeta Psi jumped off to a quick
two point lead, but were never in
the game after that, as Sigma Chi
rolled up 15 straight points and
then went on to lead at the half,
35-4. Sigma Chi substituted free-
ly as they virtually scored at will.
Using a full court press Sigma Chi
controlled the ball for most of the
game, and kept play bottled up at
the Zeta Psi end of the court.
Phi Delts Down SAE
In another 'B', first place play-
off Phi Delta Theta defeated Sig-
ma Alpha Epsilon, 39-33. The Phi
Delts took a commanding, 25-17,
half-time lead and then coasted
through the second half to cop
their victory. High scorer for the
Phi Delts was George Rich, with
13 points, while Dick Agnew led
SAE with eight.
Phi Kappa Sigma and Sigma
Phi Epsilon were victorious to ad-
vance in the second place playoffs.
Phi Kappa Sigma romped over
x ATO in the second half, after a
deadlocked first half, to win 37-
25. Larry Catlin was high scorer
for Phi Kappa Sigma with 18
points, while Bob Talley tallied 11
markers for ATO.
The first half was played com-
paratively slow with both teams
refusing to give the other an edge.
Track Tickets
Reserved seat tickets, priced
at $1.50, for the finals of the
Big Ten Indoor Track and Field

House today from 4 to 5:30
p.m. Friday night tickets may

The game was broken open in the
second half when Phi Kappa Sig-
ma started taking advantage of
free throws to go out in front and

Gamma Delta 35-22 in the other
second place playoff. The Phi
Gams playing with five men the
whole game, faded at the end to
allow the Sig Eps to go way out
in front. High scorer for the Sig
Eps was Muriell Nelson with nine
points.
In the only third place game
played, George Lennon scored 13
points to account for all but four
of his team's points, as Phi Sig-
ma Delta downed Theta Chi 28-
17. Lennon kept his team in the
game, throughout the whole first
half as he scored his teams first
nine points. When the teams
walked off the court at the end
of the first half, the Phi Sigs led
by only four points, 16-12.
In the second half, however, the
Phi Sigs greater height gave them
control of the boards and cons -
quently the game. High scorers for
the Phi Sigs were Mitch Zucker
with 11 points and Harvey King
with eight.

WIHL Receives
Historic Trophy
Western Intercollegiate Hock-
ey Champion, Colorado College,
will receive a huge, 31-inch tall
silver trophy next week at the
NCAA ice tourney at Colorado
Springs. The cup, called the
McNaughton Trophy, is larger
than the famed Stanley Cup
and will be presented every
year to the WIHL champion.
It is valued at $3,500.
The five-gallon cup is a his-
toric momento of amateur
hockey, having been given to
the American Amateur Hockey
champion from 1914-1932, and
from 1933-1950 to the Cham-
pions of Upper Michigan. The
rotating award was presented
to the league by a Michigan in-
dustrial firm, and was approved
by the seven coaches.

Cindermen
At MSC for
League Meet
A wholesale assault on the rec-
ord books is expected as the Big
Ten Indoor Track and Field
Championships get under way to-
morrow evening at Jenison Field
House in East Lansing.
Illinois, seeking its fourth
straight indoor crown, faces rug-
ged competition from Michigan,
Indiana and Iowa. The Wolverines
are granted the best chance among
the three contenders to dethrone
the Illini, but the Hoosiers and
Hawkeyes aren't far behind.
Michigan State's huge field
house is noted for its excellent
running surface, and is reputed to
have one of the fastest indoor
dirt tricks in the nation. Good
possibilities for new records exist
in nine of the 15 events, accord-
ing to Karl Schlademan, head
coach of the host Spartans.
Marks in Jeopardy
He listed the high jump, mile
run, 70-yard high and low hurdle's,
300, 440, 600, 880 and 1,000-yard
runs as the events whose present
marks are in jeopardy.
Illinois will depena on its aggre-
gation of stars to counteract
Michigan's better-balanced squad.
Iowa doesn't figure to win when-
this season's records are consid-
ered, but its fine potential makes
it a dangerous contender. In-
diana, surprise runner-up in last
year's meet, possesses the biggest
question mark of the meet-Milt
Campbell.
Campbell, the Hoosiers' sopho-
more star of Olympic fame, was
counted upon for firsts in the 60-
yard dash and 70-yard high hurd-
les, but a pulled leg muscle has
limited his effectiveness somewhat
in recent appearances.
The Social Fraternity Swim-
ming . meet will be held on
Thursday, March 10, at 7 p.m.
in the Varsity Pool, instead of
today.

The dying moments of the 1955v
Big Ten basketball season find the
first three places already sewed
up, but from there on down it's
anybody's battle.
Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois
rank one-two-three in the confer-
ence with one game left for each
school. The Hawkeyes, sporting a
11 win, two loss record, can capture
the league championship with a
win next Monday against Michi-
gan, and guarantee themselves a
playoff berth in the NCAA finals.
If the Hawks lose and Minnesota
wins, both squads would end up
in a tie for first. A Gopher loss
would give the crown to the Hawk-
eyes, whether they won or lost.
The Big Ten roster for this week
find every team except Purdue
competing. Purdue, currently hold-
ing down sixth slot in the confer-
ence, ended the season with a five'
win nine loss record.
'MSC Here Saturday
Michigan State visits the Wol-
verines at Ann Arbor Saturday
afternoon in a nationally televised
duel. It will be the third game on1
video for Michigan in three Sat-
urdays.I
The Wolverines are currently inl
a slump, having dropped four
straight tilts, including their two
televised contests. The Golden Go-9
phers smashed Michigan, 74-65,i
before the television cameras at
Yost Field House, and Iowa Crush-
ed the Wolverines, 96-84, at Iowat
City in the other televised game.
TV Jinx
Breaking the TV 'jinx' may be;
more difficult for the Wolverines
than it appears. In the -.:st duel
between the two schools at Jeni-
son Field House in East Lansing,
the Spartans out lasted the Wol-
verines, 81-80.
"If that first game had beenE
played here, it might have been a
different story. Both teams were1
evenly matched then, but the ques-

RIVALRY RENEWED:
'M', OSU Vie for Big Ten Swim Title

tion is which team has improved.
The Spartans have shown great
improvement since then, while I
doubt whether or not we have,"
Coach Bill Perigo commented.
In other contests, Illinois faces
Northwestern at Evanston Satur-
day. The Wildcats, tied with MSC
for fourth in the conference, need
a win to insure holding on to
fourth slot, although the Illini
keep third position even if they
lose.

By DAVE RORABACHER
When does a coach deserve to be
called a truly great coach?
Such a question is difficult to
answer, but sometime, long since
gone, during Cliff Keen's thirty
years as Michigan's wrestling
coach, he certainly passed all ne-
cessary requirements.
That such a title is deserved, is
borne out by the tremendous rec-
ord which his teams have estab-
lished in the past. Twenty-six of
his teams have finished third or
better in Western Conference com-
petition and his total compiled
dual meet record of 157 wins
against only 56 losses and eight
ties is truly remarkable.
Keen has also turned out 11 na-
tional champions, 32 conference
champions, and five of his boys
have represented the United
States in Olympic competition.

Keen's personal college wrestling
record is quite a feat in itself. He
attended the wrestling power-
house, Oklahoma A&M, where he
was under the tutelage of the
great E. C. Gallagher, whose teams
won the national championship
for 13 straight years.
To help maintain this string,
Keen, wrestling at 175 pounds, won
t h e Southwestern Conference
championship two years, the Mis-
souri Valley Conference champion-
ship, and the National Invitation-
al Tournament championship
Upon graduation, the Aggie
champion successfully tried his
hand at high school coaching for
a year before making the trek to
Ann Arbor in December, 1925 to
assume the dual role of wrestling
coach and assistant football coach.
Not Satisfied
Not satisfied with a mere bach-
elor's degree he entered Law
School three years later and still
coaching on the side, or as he puts
it, "attending classes on the side,"
he received his Law Degree in four
years.
Having passed his bar exam in
1933, he could have entered into a
practice which would undoubtedly
have been much more lucrative
than coaching, but he decided to
stay with wrestling as he believed
he could do more good in this field.
In this belief Keen is very sin-
cere. He believes that a boy pre-
pares himself for the life before
him more fully and soundly
through wrestling than through
any other sport. He reasons that
the challenges wrestling has to of-
fer are, in effect, the same chal-
lenges to be. met in the vorld after
a boy has completed his educa-
tion.
A wrestler knows the value of
hard work; he knows the value of
preparing himself fully for the
contest; he has learned to make
decisions on his own; he has
learned to take defeat and come
back fighting; and, if he has been'
fortunate enough to have wres-
tled for Cliff Keen, he knows how
to win gracefully and in a sports-
manlike manner.

Michigan and Ohio State renew
their perennial battle for Big Ten
swimming honors this evening as
the Western Conference cham-
pionships get under way with the
1500 meter freestyle at Columbus.
Ford Konno is expected to lead
the conference's distance swim-
mers to the finish line tonight, al-
though Indiana's Bill Woolsey and
Michigan's Jack Wardrop could
press the diminutive Hawaiian the
whole way if their respective
coaches choose to enter these men
in the event.
Ohio State is the probable pre-
meet favorite by a slight margin,
despite Michigan's upset of the
Buckeyes here last Saturday. The
Ohio State strength in the back-
stroke and depth in diving events
gives the Buckeyes a slight edge.
Oyakawa Favored
Yoshi Oyakawa gives Ohio State
a practically certain first place in
the backstroke events. The Buck-
eye co-captain is unbeaten in his
specialty in four years of competi-
tion and has become even farther
ahead of the field in the past two
years. In addition to Oyakawa
sophomore Al Wiggins can also be
counted on for points in the back-
stroke events.

However, Coach Mike Peppe
may choose to leave Wiggins out
of one of the backstroke events
and put the versatile star in one
of the relays and the individual
medley, the event in which he es-
tablished an American record by
beating Bumpy Jones at Ann Ar-
bor Saturday.
OSU Divers Strong
Ohio's corps of divers, always a
source of many points for Ohio
State in championship meets will
again be counted upon to aid the
Buckeye cause. Morely Shapiro,
Gerry Harrison, Fletcher Gilders,
Frank Fraunfelter, and Vernon
Kent are all potential place win-
ners.
Michigan diving coach Bruce
Harlan feels that Jimmy Walters
and Charley Bates could upset the
Ohio contingent, but as the meet
is in the Ohio natatorium, the
feat becomes even more difficult.
The best races of the meet will
probably come in the 220 and
440 yard freestyle, where Jack
Wardrop, Konno, and Woolsey
will vie for the championship with
an eye out for the amazing rec-
ord which Wardrop established in

NEPBE1AREYTON'
CIGAR ETTESI

Saturday's dual meet when he de-
feated Konno.
The 100 yards butterfly, a new,
event this season is an unknown
in swimming circles. Although
Wiggins will be favored if Ohio
Coach Mike Peppe chooses to
swim him in the event,
The freestyle sprints shape up'
as g two man battle between Mich-
igan's .Ron Gora and Iowa's Dick
Pennington. It will be remembered
that Pennington touched out Gora
in the Michigan-Iowa dual meet,'
but the Michigan star turned in
the best 50 yard time of his ca-
reer when he captured the event
against Ohio State.
Michigan's Bumpy Jones, who
lost his first collegiate individual
medley race Saturday to Ohio
State's Wiggins, will again be
underdog in that event, but could
emerge the victor in the 200 yard
beraststroke. His main competi-
tion will come from John Dudeck
of Michigan State.
