The big men in Phi Kappa Sig- ma's second half drive were Ernie Meyers and Jim Vukovich. Mey- Es threw in 14 of 'his 16 point total in the last half and Vuko- vich made 12 of his 20 points v:he they were needed most. i nother factor adding to the Phi Kappa Sigma victory was its change in defense. By bottling up Lambda Chi Alpha's big men they cut down their opponent's offen- sive power considerably. The winners will play Phi Delta ' Theta in the finals. The Phi Delta Theta 'B' team easily moved into the second place play-off finals as it defeated Delta Tau Delta, 48-22. The vic- tors' main assets were a fast break, good rebounding and a tight de- fense which made it hard for Delta Tau Delta to get a shot away. Scotty Crisler collected 17 points for the Phi Delt cause. In two other fraternity con- tests, Delta Upsilon 'A' team whip- ped Phi Kappa Tau, 34-13, and the Phi Kappa Sigma 'B' edged Sigma Alpha Mu, 26-21. In a residence hall game, Win- chell almost caught Adams after Big Splash Psi Upsilon's Dana Larson won the all-campus diving championship last night at the I-M pool by compiling 87.6 points. Second was Gil Coleman of Sigma Chi, 84.9, and Phi Delts' Ed Shannon and ATO's Tom Peterson tied for third with scores of 73.5. making up a 10 point deficit, but lost out at the final siren, 30-26. Bob Groff tallied 14 points for Adams and Ted Treiber scored 11 for Winchell. A close independent battle end- ed up with the Farouks scoring a victory from AFROTC, 49-47. Other basketball scores of the evening were: Latvians 45, Euro- pean 20; Simple Seven 27, Hawai- ians 18; Phil Mich 21, Cardinals 18; Delta Chi 51, Delta Sigma Phi 29; and Theta Delta Chi defeated Tau Delta Phi (forfeit).

The fact that they had already been assured of undisputed pos- session of the title might well have been the cause for the Hawk- eyes' poor showing against the Wolverines. They played listless ball, only occasionally demon- strating to the spectators the type of play which carried them to the top of the heap. Michigan constantly foiled their offensive pattern. The beautiful weaves and excellent ball-hand- ling, which caused the Wolverines so much trouble in their last en- counter with Iowa, were ineffec- tive and at times even sloppy Monday night. Rebounding Tops This criticism, however, is not meant to show the Michigan squad in a negative light. A team such as the Wolverines, which makes good on almost 50 per cent of its shots, is going to be tough meat for any quintet to beat, even a conference champion. There was no doubt about the fact that it was the Wolverines' night; they weren't to be had by anyone. Their rebounding was almost flawless; Groffsky, Kramer and Stern had the boards covered like a blanket, and, as a result, the Hawkeyes were seldom able to fol- low up on their shots. WHAT'S MORE Appropriate during the SPRING WEEKEND than BOCK BEER at the P-BELL Aside from the board work, Michigan's defense, man for man, was also outstanding. Especially notable was the work of two nhen playing their last game for Mich- igan, Captain Paul Groffsky and Don Eaddy. Eaddy has been rated as the Wolverines' top defensive man, and has usually drawn the job of guarding the opponent's offensive threat. Monday night he again turned in a top-notch perform- ance. Groffsky played one of his best games. His play against Iowa, while being far from extraordi- nary scoring-wise, was that of an invaluable team player. Occa- sionally sliding into the post posi- tion, he picked up many assists and gave the spectators reason to wonder as to why he had not been used more often in the key- hole. Jorgenson Effective at Guard Big gun in the Michigan scoring attack was Tom Jorgenson, who came close to cracking the all- time Michigan single-game record. This performance only served to point up his effectiveness at a guard slot. Even with the return of Jim! Barron to the starting lineup next fall, it might not prove a bad idea to leave Jorgenson at this posi- tion and play Barron at forward. By PHIL DOUGLIS Special to The Daily COLORADO SPRINGS--Mich- gan's powerful Wolverines open their bid for a fifth National Col- legiate Ice Hockey championship here tonight at the Broadmoor Ice Palace as they take on Har- vard's Ivy League champions in the opener of the Eighth Annual NCAA tourney. The winner of this game will play the winner of tomorrow night's Colorado College-St. Law- rence battle for the national cham- pionship on Saturday night. Heyliger Optimistic Michigan coach Vic Heyliger was optimistic as he watched the huge Maize and Blue banner hoisted over the Broadmoor yes- terday for the eighth straight year. "If we can stay away from those penalties, I think we can take it all," the genial coach re- marked. Despite his optimism, the huge gold and black Colorado College pennant, the crimson banner of Harvard, and the red and white of St. Lawrence were also outlin- ed against the late afternoon sky here . . . a sober reminder that a national title is going to take some Cagers .Pick Jorgenson Guard Tom Jorgenson was elect- ed captain of next year's Michi- gan basketball team yesterday. The six-foot junior, who hails from Chicago, succeeds outgoing senior Paul Groffsky. Jorgenson scored 333 points this year, sec- ond highest total on the club, and helped Bill Perigo's squad consid- erably with his fine playmaking. His deadly outside set shot and excellent dribbling ability made 'him one of the Big Ten's best all- around ballplayers. He probably played his finest game Monday night when he scored 26 points to lead Michigan to a 74-58 upset win over champion Iowa. His 16.7 points-per-game aver- age in Conference play was the fourteenth best in the league. mighty fine hockey on the part of any team. The Crimson boast a 16-2-1 rec- ord, the best in the Ivy League since 1937. Harvard's top game was against St. Lawrence, whom it de- feated, 3-2, in overtime. The losses were at the hands of McGill (2-1), Boston College (4-3), and the tie was a 4-4 stalemate against Brown. Harvard Not Too Strong Despite this fine record there is a tendency here to seed Har- vard as the weakest of the tour- ney's four teams. HEowever, last year's third ranked team, Rensse- laer, upset the applecart and took the national title-so one can nev- er be sure in this game of college hockey. The Wolverines meanwhile are the hottest team in the tourna- ment, having won eight straight league games, against some of the toughest opposition in the nation. The Heyliger crew worked out in the Ice Palace here yesterday for nearly an hour, and looked very sharp. They have to be sharp, for Ralph "Cooney" Weiland of Harvard has his ace, Bill Cleary, the East's most valuable player, ready to throw at the Wolverines. Cleary Has 84 Cleary hit for 37 goals and 47 assists this season, giving him 84 points. Also on the Crimson roster is sensational goalie Chuck Flynn. The giant 56-passenger Broad- moor airliner arrived here yester- day at 4:00 clock, and a roaring welcome was accorded the partici- pants. The ticket situation here is desperate. Seats for all games have been gone for three months. Rarely before has such a collec- tion of stars graced the same ice arena at once as we saw yesterday. Besides Michigan's famed duo of Bill MacFarland and Tommy Ren- dall, who along with goalie Lorne Howes, and defensman Bob Schil- ler form the nucleus of Heyliger's team, the three other squads had their share of stars also. MacFarlane Paces Larries The St, Lawrence Larries, attir- ed in snappy red and white uni.- forms, are paced by senior Brian MacFarlane-one of the East's greatest centers. In the Larrie nets, Al Sloan holds forth. Colorado College, no stranger to Broadmoor ice (its home rink' is champion of the western Inter- collegiate Hockey League, and Cheddy Thompson has probably the nation's top defenseman, Cap- tain Phil Hilton, along with high scoring Clare Smith, and sterling goalie Jeff Simus ready to throw at Tiger foes. Face-off time for all night games will be 8:15 p.m. Mountain Time (10:15 Ann Arbor time). It has been 13 years since Michi- gan has played Harvard in any sport. In 1942, the Wolverines de- feated the Crimson in football, 35-7. The only hockey game ever played between the two schools was in 1931, when Harvard down- ed the Wolverines, 7-0. .... .w,. ; 4 ? 1Y' :;ry{" titi ':':: .'.,. ;y'ti F k t .t ':,1: '14 .1 'sky': k + : hYY tiy1 }S 7:; ;r: ;;?: :i; :"A ;:i;: ,:y: :ti;: }^: ti i}1. : ti ; :> fi: :'eji; : : :, U 217 East Liberty OPEN MONDAYS TILL 9 Phone P.M.
