able to be cleared by the usually
alert defense proved to bea fat
target for Francis Mahoney, who
slammed the puck by Howes just
one minute and 29 seconds after
the opening of the final period,
Harvard weakened considerably
at this point. Vic Heyliger's sex-
tet now seemed to be able to score
at -will.
Sophomore Tom Rendall set the
stage for the final single-handed
tally by 'M' Captain MacFarland.
A great save by Slymn on a close-
in hard shot by Rendall threw the
Harvard goaltender off balance.
MacFarland, who was the West-
ern Intercollegiate Hock-
ey League's third high scorer this
fense was able to get clicking.
Slymn made several great saves
to thrill the jam-packed Broad,
moor arena crowd. Rendall was
robbed at least twice of markers
because of the sharp reflexes of
the Harvard cagetender.
The matter of excessive penal-
ties throughout the contest did
not particularly seem to hurt the
Michigan defensive unit. Harvard,
on the other hand, did not draw
their first infraction until the
third period.
Michigan goes into the finals
with the unusual record of hav-
ing never lost the championship
round. Previous seasons have re-
sulted in a first game loss, but
never have the Wolverines gone

He had to wait three years, but
when Jerry Stern finally got his
big chance, he hit the jackpot.
The quiet-spoken first semester
senior from Cleveland admits that
he wouldn't have seen much ac-
tion, for Michigan's basketball
squad if Jim Barron hadn't in-
jured his knee and Harvey Wil-
iams hadn't become temporarily
ineligible.
Stern, a six foot, 2 inch, 180-
pound forward, has finally won a
letter at Michigan on the basis of
his fine performance in the just-
completed season.
Faced With Problem
Coach Bill Perigo was faced with
a definite problem on the night
of the first Illinois game. Barron,
the Wolverines' top scorer last
season, was shelved for probably
the remainder of the season, and
the 6-8 Williams had failed to
take a zoology exam. Ron Kramer
was moved to center, replacing
Williams, but this left one of the
forward spots vacant.
It was more or less a flip-of-

season, took the rebounO and fired
the disc point blank into the nets.
Michigan was never headed aft-
er their 5-3 lead. Follow-up scores
by Neil Buchanan and Rendall
jumped the final count to 7-3.
Howes was good when the occa-
sion demanded it. He had 41 saves
as compared to Slymn's 39. The
latter was kept especially busy
once 'the Wolverine's explosive of-
the coin decision for' Perigo, but
the coach admits that he probably
maderthe right guess. Stern, an
inspired young man on learning
he was to start against the feared
Illini, flipped in six field goals and
two free throws for a very re-
spectable 14-point performance.
His clutch baskets near the end
of the battle helped to keep the
Wolverines in contention before,
they finally dropped the heart-
breaker by one point.
From that night Stern held on
to his starting berth, playing a
steady, dependable floor game,
hitting consistently from the out-
side, and rebounding aggressively.
Stars in High School
There never was much question
about Stern's high-school career
at Glenville High in Cleveland.
Averaging around 20 points in his
senior year, he sparked Glenville
to second place in the City League,
and was named as forward on the
All-City first team.
"There is no doubt about the
fact that he helped us," says
Coach Perigo. "There were times
in practice when he would look
great, and others when he wasn't
so hot. I figure that this big break
he got was all he needed to be a
good, steady performer."
Stern, a business administra-
tion major, plans, to go into in-
dus'trial sales management.

"We've lost before but it's more
fun to win!"
These words express the feelings
of Michigan's high flying track
coach Don Canham after his team
won the Western Conference in-
door track title last Saturday.
During the week leading up to
the meet, Canham was plenty wor-
ried about his team's chances
against the rough competition
which was going to be provided
by Illinois, Indiana, andIowa.
After the drawing for the pre-
liminaries, he was even more con-
cerned, because Michigan, having
no luck at all, was forced to run
in fast heats' and otuside lanes.
Views Changed
Canham's views were changed
by Friday night, however, as the
Wolverine cindermen grabbed 15
qualifying spots for the finals.
All that bothered him was Indi-
ana's 10 qualifiers, but even so,
he said that he felt "more than
fairly confident towards a vic-
tory."
The greatest of his joys came
Saturday when the 'M' track
team's perfromance far surpassed
his most optimistic figuring. "We
got every point we could have tak-
en," he said. "In fact we scored
10 more points than I had ever
planned on us taking."
Victory was especially sweet to
Canham after suffering in sec-
ond place for three of the last four
years. This washis first Big Ten
victory, and after learning the part
of. runner up so well, it's certain
he won't be wanting to give up the
role of champ until he's at least
had a chance to get the feel of it.
Shows Modesty
Even after' this recent success,
Canham shows modest tendencies,
and is rather reluctant to answer
questions about himself, but aft-
er some patient prodding, he out-
lined one of his typical coaching
days.
"First thing in the morning is
the mail," he said. "We get quite
a few letters from high school
kids and the usual Big Ten cor-
respondence. These all have to be
answered."
"The rest of the morning is
spent talking with my assistant,
Elmer Swanson, about certain in-
dividual performances, arrange-
ments for coming meets, and the
laying out of practice schedules.
We work with about 70 athletes,
and this takes a lot of planning."
Once in a while he spends his
mornings studying films on tech-
nique, or watching movies taken
of past events.
His afternoons are taken up
with "talking with you guys from
the Daily" and other papers, and
with practice. At practice he tries
to spend individual time with all
the varsity- men and with the
freshmen he feels will develop into
Big Ten material. He also tries to
take some movies of his trackmen
in action for purposes of later
viewing.
Weekends find him away from
home much of the time, as he is
of attending meets around the
conference with his championship
crew. "The big difference in coach-
ing track that the coaches of
othertsportshdon't face is the
length of the season," Canham
said. "I have cross-country for
two months in the fall, then In-
door track for two and a half
more months, and then we go out-
doors for three months in ' the
spring."
"My wife never sees me and she's
not happy about it, most of the
time," he concluded.
