THERE WILL BE a lot 'of excitement down at the Sports Building
this evening. Every nook and cranny of the spacious Hoover
Street structure will be a bevy of activity.
The reason? It's the 24th annual Open House which closes the
winter intramural sports program. Close to 600 athletes will vie for
individual and team championships before an expected audience of
3,000. Along with this, there will be exhibitions by varsity men in
tennis and swimming.
Originally started in 1928 as an inducement to bring the public
to see the, at that time, new building, Earl Riskey has built the pro-.
gram up considerably. It is, today, the single biggest event on the
vast intramural schedule. Only during the war years were the Open
Houses eliminated.
Fifteen Sports on Display...
SPECTATORS WILL be able to choose from among 15 different
sports. Team championships will be awarded in basketball, swim-
ming, water polo, and handball. Individual crowns will be given out
in wrestling, boxing, fencing, badminton, gymnastics, paddleball,
codeball, and squash. There will be axhibitions in diving, tennis and
volleyball.
One can spend the whole night at the Varsity Pool-and not be
bored for one single moment. Both the fraternities and the residence
halls will compete alternately in eight events. Phi Delta Theta looks
like a good bet to dethrone Sigma Chi last year's champ. The Phi
Delts qualified seven men and one relay team while Sigma Chi will
have but two men and one relay team entered.
The dorm meet, however, is an entirely different story. Four teams
will fight it out for the coveted title. Powerful Gomberg has qualified
eight men in the individual events and two relay squads. Adams, Wil-
liams, and Cooley will provide the most opposition. Competition in
both divisions will begin at 8:15 p.m.
The diving exhibition, slated to start at 7 p.m., is headed by Big
Ten champ, Jim Walters. Charlie Bates and Andy White will also
be on hand. A preview of Michigan's swim future will be given as the,
freshman team will also perform.
Six basketball games, the first two at 6:30 p.m., will bring the
hectic hoop season to a climactic close. Gomberg meets Greene, and
Sigma Chi tackles Phi Delta Theta in the 'B' finals. Sigma Chi will
be gunning for its fifth straight title.
Grid Stars To See Action.. .
AT 7:45, Owens-Nakamura will clash against Farouk's Five for the
independent title, and Phi Delta Theta will play Phi Kappa
Sigma for the fraternity 'A' crown. Four grid stars are sure to see
plenty of action in the Greek title contest. Jim Maddock and Fred
Baer will be in the Phi Delt lineup, and Tony Branoff and Gerry
Williams will represent Phi Kappa Sigma.
Gomberg, 1954 champion, battles Reeves in the dorm 'A' finals,
and Nu Sigma tackles Phi Delta Phi for the professional fraternity
crown. Both tilts will get underway at 9 p.m.
Members of Michigan's tennis team will display the form which
carried them to a second place finish in last year's Big Ten meet.
Coach Bill Murphy has not yet decided who will perform. Seven p.m.
Is the starting time for this exhibition.
In the other finals, Sigma Alpha Mu and Gomberg will be out
to retain their titles. The Sammies meet Sigma Phi Epsilon for the
bowling crown, and the men from South Quad battle Cooley for
the water polo trophy.
Individual champions in all weights will emerge from the boxing
and wrestling events. The former starts at 8, the latter runs from
7:30 to 10 p.m.
After looking over the calendar for the Open House, we might
(facetiously, of course) ask what Riskey, the man-in-charge, would
do without the active support given him by the many Gomberg
teams. Tonight, they have two squads in the basketball finals, the
favorite in the swimming meet, and an excellent chance of copping
water polo.
Captures Track and Field
Title; Richards, Sowell Win
MEXICO CITY - (A) - The
United States trophy chest was
decorated with seven more gold
medals yesterday and Uncle Sam
had the unofficial track and field
championship of the Pan-Ameri-
can games won and locked up
tight.
There are still 10 more days of
action on the athletic fields of the
18-game program, but the big
team from the U.S.A. has already
smashed the defending champion,
Argentina.
The rousing four-way fight in
the 800 meters found 19-year old
Arnie Sowell of Pittsburgh the
winner in a new Pan-Am meet
record time of 1:49.7; the old mas-
ter of the two laps, Mal Whitfield,
a faded fourth and California's
Lon Spurrier and Ramon Sandoval
of Chile sandwiched tightly in be-
tween.
The come-from-behind run in
the stretch by Oswald Suarez of
Argentina to grab victory from
Horace Ashenfelter of New Jersey
in the 5,000-meter race. The time
was 15:30.6 and Suarez, winner of
the 10,000, became the first dou-
ble winner of the games,
The one-two punch in the dis-
cus by Fortune Gordien and Par-
ry O'Brien of California, with the
world record holder, Gordien, set-
ting a new games record of 53.10
meters, or 174 feet 27/2 inches.
The one-two-three procession
over the vaulting bar by the Rev.
Bob Ricilards, Bob Smith and Don
Laz. En route the Vaulting Vicar
equalled his own meet record of
4.50 meters, or 14 feet 9/2einches.
Finally, and not least, the speed
of 20.8 seconds uncorked in the
200-meter semi-final by Jose Te
lez Conceicao of Brazil-just one-
tenth of a second off the world rec-
ord held by Mel Patton. The meet
mark was 21.2 set by the Brazilian
in the preliminaries.
The U.S. made it five out of six
in weight lifting championships

FORM NUCLEUS:
Five Lettermen Lead Wolverine Nine
Tony San Antonio is the new
captain-elect of the 1955-56 Mich-
igan gymnastics team.
In a meeting of the gym squad
yesterday afternoon, the husky,
married junior was chosen to lead
Coach Newt Loken's promising
gymnasts next season. Besides on
the side horse, San Antonio was
particularly effective on the paral-
lel bars, taking a fifth place in the
tightly-contested Big Ten Meet
several weeks ago.
Also picked was Senior Frank
Adams as the Most Valuable team
member. Adams placed consistent-
ly all year in the trampoline, high
bar, and tumbling, and was high
point-getter for the Wolverines in
the Conference Championships.

By DON LINDMAN
Five returning regulars will
form the nucleus of a young and
as yet unpredictable Michigan
baseball team which has begun
workouts for its season opener
against Delaware on April 1.
Third baseman Don Eaddy,
shortstop Moby Benedict, second
baseman Frank Ronan, and out-
fielders Dan Cline and Howie Tom-
melein have joined pitcher Mary
Wisniewski as a foundation from
which Coach Ray Fisher is at-
tempting to fashion a champion-
ship contending squad.
Losses Hurt
The losses from last year's team
include four of Fisher's top men,
and replacing them is one of the
major problems facing the Mich-
igan coach.
The departures of outfielder
Paul Lepley, catcher Dick Leach,
pitcher Jack Ritter, and pitcher-
first baseman Jack Corbett have
left big holes in the Wolverine
lineup.
Lepley, one of the best outfield-
ers in the Big Ten, gave up his
final year of eligibility to sign a
Detroit Tiger contract. Leach was
Michigan's only catcher last sea-
son, while Ritter and Corbett were
the mainstays of the pitching
staff.
Branoff Returning
Tony Branoff, who compiled a
.333 batting average last lear while
serving largely as a pinch hitter,
is the leading candidate to join
Cline and Tommelein in the out-
field. Also being mentioned for the
post are Bruce Fox and Bill Thur-
ston.
A 6' 3" sophomore from Flint,
Jim Vukovich, is being touted as
the replacement for Corbett at
first base. Last Year's captain,
Corbett handled the first base'
chores when he wasn't being used
as a pitcher. Vukovich is regarded
as a good fielder, but his hitting
talents are unknown as yet.
The loss of the two pitching
mainstays may not be felt quite as
hard as the losses at some of the
other positions. Two lefthanders,
Mary Wisniewski and Dick Peter-
john, will form the basis of the
1955 mound corps.
Two Pitchers Bolster Staff
Wisniewski compiled a 4.05
earned run average in 1954 while
winning six and losing three. Pet-
erjohn appeared in few Big Ten
games in a starting role, but was
able to fashion a 1.89 earned run
average over the entire season.
Thurston seemingly has the po-
tential to take over as Michigan's
third starter, while Mark Fer-
relli, a junior, and Ralph Fagge, a
senior, will be available for relief
work.
Eaddy and Cline are Michigan's
big hopes in the coming campaign.
In his fourth season as Wolverine
third baseman, Eaddy paced the
regulars in batting over the 31-
game campaign last year with a
.322 average. Cline, this year's
captain, was Michigan's top out-
fielder in addition to being the
only Wolverine to top the .300
mark in Big Ten play fashioning
a .304 average.

TRY ONE
MONTREAL (to)-Maurice (The
Rocket) Richard of the Montreal
Canadiens yesterday was suspend-
ed for the rest of the season and
for the National Hockey League
playoffs for his part in a fight at
Boston last Sunday.
Clarence Campbell, president of
the league, made the announce-
ment in Montreal.
Richard and Laycoe Tangle
Both Richard and Hal Laycoe,
of the Boston Bruins, cut and
bruised, appeared before the
league executive yesterday morn-
ing.
They were participants in a
stick-swinging melee which oc-
curred in the Montreal-Boston
game. The fracas followed the
slugging of linesman Cliff Thomp-
son by the fiery, 37-year-old Rich-
ard.
Fine Levied
Richard was given the match
penalty and an automatic fine of
$100 at the time of the penalty.
The suspension probably will
cost Richard several thousand dol-
lars. He is the league's leading
scorer, which yearly draws a $1,-
000 first prize, and he may be de-
prived of his playoff money.
Canadiens Chances Hurt
Also, the suspension may jeopar-
dize Montreal's chances for the
NHL title and Stanley Cup cham-
pionship. The Canadiens at pres-
ent lead the league by two points,
with three games remaining, two
with second-place Detroit.
The fracas occurred during an
exchange at the goal-mouth. Rich
