Leads in Pan-A merican Games C 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.

Sprinters Rod Richard and Bar- bara Jones and hammer thrower Bob Backus won three more cham- pionships for the United States but their efforts were overshad- owed by a world record hop, skip and jump on the part of a veteran Brazilian. Adehemar Ferreria da Silva won the unique three-in-one specialty with a tremendous effort of 54 feet, 4 inches. Heavy scoring in track and field shot the U.S. total in the unoffi- cial team standings up to 268. Ar- gentina held second place with 831 . Richard, an Army lieutenant who previously had won the 100 meters, became a double gold med- alist when he won the 200-meter race in the near world record time of 20.7 seconds. Backus, a muscle man from Tufts who took up weight-lifting to cure a siege of spinal meningi- tis, won thehammer throw with a games' record of 180 feet, 13/ inches. Barbara Jones of Chicago cap- tured the women's 100 meter dash in 11.5 seconds, a Pan-American record. San Antonio Named Gym Captain-Elect NIT Enters S ei-Final s NEW YORK (R)-The semifin- als of the 18th annual National Invitation Basketball Tournament roll around tonight with most of the crystal ball gazers picking Du- quesne and Dayton to battle their way to the finals. The 12-team tourney now is down to four clubs with Dayton meeting the possible Cinderella quint, St. Francis (Pa.) and Du- quesne taking on Cincinnati in the twin bill at Madison Square Gar- den. Dayton is getting the vote of many experts to go all the way. The second seeded Flyers proved their class Tuesday night by trampling St. Louis 97-81 after St. Francis upset Holy Cross, the defending champion, 68-64. Duquesne gained the semifinals by defeating Louisville Monday 74-66. On the same program Cin- cinnati outlasted Niagara 85-83 in double overtime. Richard Lost To Montreal For Season 'Rocket' For Part Suspended in Brawl MEXICO CITY'S University Stadium, where 100,000 fans are currently gathering to see the 1955 Pan American games. 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. buttons and beaus 8MOC and back- bench boys-go for AFTER SIX QC formals.

For mo/f)u-g 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. The New Spring Collegiate Cuts!! They're suave, smart individualistic- 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.
