What happens to a champion-
ship wrestling team when it enters
the toughest tournament of them
all?
To the casual observer the sev-
enth place finish in, the NCAA
meet -posted by the Big Ten
champion Michigan grapplers may
not appear to be, an exceptionally
good showing.*'However, when one
takes into account the extremely
tough competition with which the
Wolverines were faced, the
achievement of the matmen ap-
pears more than satisfactory.
"This was the toughest tourna-
ment I've ever seen," stated as-
sistant Wolverine coach Bob Bet-
zig. "The boys gave a very good
showing of themselves."
Rodriguez Wins Four
Outstanding in the Maize and
Blue cause was 157 pounder, Mike
Rodriguez. Never having appeared
in a tournament of this magni-
tude before, Rodriguez won four
straight- matches, two by falls, be-
fore losing a close 6-4 decision in
the finals.
This performance was in the
toughest weight of the tourna-
ment. Thirty men were entered in
this division with five of them be-
ing rated very excellent. As an
example of the terrific competi-
tion present was the fact that
Iowa's John Winder, Big Ten
champ at 167 pounds who moved
down a weight for the NCAA, did
not even place.
Wolverine captain Andy Kaul
fell victim to surprisingly strong
Larry Fornicola of Penn State.
"Under different circumstances
Kaul might have beaten him, al-

though he was a very good boy,"
Betzig explained.
Another exceptional perform-
ance was turned in by Michigan's
Dan Deppe. Having previously
placed fourth in the Big Ten,
Deppe managed to equal this
standing in the wider competition
offered last weekend. En route to
his final position, he garnered a
sound 12-2 decision over the man
who beat out defending champion
Dick Govig of Iowa.
Sophomore Max Pearson, who
has made an ingratiatingly fine
improvement over the past season
won two of his matches before be-
ing decisioned. Betzig expressed
pleasure over his showing and pre-
dicted better things to come from
him next year.
Don Haney, whom the assist-
ant coach termed, "as good as
anybody," fell before the onslaught
of his nearly inevitable referee's
decision in the first round.
Teammate John McMahon also
lost out in the first round and
proved the truth of Betzig's state-
ment, "one slip and a man's out
of there."

TORONTO M) - The Detroit
Red Wings, powerful defending
champions, swept into the final
round of the Stanley Cup Play-
offs last night with a 3-0 victory
over the Toronto Maple Leafs to
score a whitewash in the best-of-
7 semi-final series.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (A)-
A blistering line drive Tuesday al-
most ended the valiant comeback
efforts of Bobby Shantz, the Kan-
sas City A's little lefthanded
pitcher who once was the best in
the American League.
Shantz was hit on the head by
outfielder Earl Smith's liner and
for a time it was believed he might
have been seriously injured. An
examination at the hospital show-
ed the 138-pound hurler suffered
no fracture or concussion. The ball
appai'ently struck only a glancing
blow that tore his left ear.
The game little pitcher, the
league's most valuable player in
1952 when he won 24 games, was
making his first start of the exhi-
bition season.
Smith came up and lined the
ball straight at the little pitcher,
probably the finest fielding hurler
in the game. Shantz stabbed at
the ball and ducked. It glanced
off his glove, hit his ear and car-
omed into right field as two runs
scored.

For someone who as a youngster
literally was forced onto the golf
course, Andy Andrews has turned
into a fine man with the clubs.
He tied for 10th place in the
35th Annual Big Ten Golf Tour-
nament held in May of last year,
with a total score of 312. Sixty
men competed in the tourney.
In the opening 1954 meet'
against the University of Detroit,
Andrews paced the Wolverine's
third group with a score of 73,
taking 52 out of 6 possible points,
while in a four-team meet with
Ohio State, Indiana and Purdue hej
registered the lowest second single
round for the "M" linksters, total-
ly 155, only five points more than
leading scorer Jack Stumpfig.
Forced Onto Links
Andrews was born in Jackson,
Michigan, the son of two strong
golf enthusiasts. He was initiated
into the game of golf when he was
twelve and his parents stuck a
club in his hand and pushed him
onto the links. It is a move for
which he has never been sorry.
He pursued the sport through
junior high school and high school,
playing key positions on the
teams. He played only one year for
Jackson High, before transferring
to Culver Military Academy where
he captained the golf team.
"One of my most memorable
moments in golf," Andrews says,
"came during my days at Culver.
We carried a three-year victory
record, broken only once, by the
Notre Dame freshman team. And
believe me, they were some team
to beat!"
Andy, the only senior on the
team, and co-captaining the squad
with Bob McMasters, played in
only one tournament outside of
Jackson, besides high school tour-
neys, and has won nine of all those
in which he competed.
On Team As Sophomore
His sophomore year at Michi-
gan was his first on the team, and
he saw little action. In his first
Big Ten competition against Pur-
due he scored 84 and 79, to total
163, and bettered that slightly
against Iowa and Northwestern
when he shot a morning round of
80, and shot under in the after-
noon with 78, to register a final
score of 158.
Since then his playing has fluc-
tuated continually, his scores be-
ing either very low or very high.
"I just can't seem to play the way
I want to," he says. This state-
ment is backed up by an incident
that occurred last spring, in a
match against the Michigan State
Spartans.
He was playing in the third
slot for the Wolverines and shot
two rocky morning rounds of 84.
After missing a shot in the after-
noon on the eleventh hole, he
grabbed his wedge, smashed it
over his knee, and the caddy toss-
ed the pieces into the bag.

The smooth-working Wings, in
command virtually all the way,'
now meet the winner of the Bos-
ton-Montreal series in the finals.
It was Detroit's 13th victory in
a row, stretching over the last'
nine games of the regular season
and the four playoff games with
the outclassed Leafs.
The Wings opened the scoring
near the six-minute mark of the
second period, added another goal
about four minutes later and com-
pleted the rout in the game's finalj
seconds.-Vic Stasiuk, Gordie Howe
and Tony Leswick were the three
Detroit scorers.
Montreal Wins In Overtime
Meanwhile in Boston Montreal
center Don Marshall skated in
alone to beat Boston's Sugar Jim
Henry at 3:05 of a sudden death
overtime tonight as the Canadiens
defeated the Bruins 4-3 in their
best of seven series. Montreal now
leads 3-1.
The victory, hard-earned by the
fast-skating Canadiens who twice
had to come from behind in regu-
lation time, put the Bruins on the
verge of elimination with a "must"
game coming on Montreal ice to-
morrow night.t
Emil Bouchard, Montreal de-
fenseman, was in the penalty box
when teammate Dickie Moore
grabbed a loose puck near"the
Canadien goal and eluded Flem-
ing Mackell. He passed to Mar-
shall at center ice and Don went
in by himself.
Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion
needed an amazing 60-footshot
drilled between two defensemen
from the Bruin blueline to send
the game into the extra session
against the Bostonians.
