TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1955 THE MICHIGAN IbAH.v TUESDY, FERUARY15, 155 TIr MWWHl T fiL A1 L? PAGE SEVEN r Moule Runs Fastest College Mile Against Irish WC indermen Garner 11 Firs tPlaces Gathering steam by winning a pair of dual meets this year, Mich- igan's trackmen are headed in high geartoward the Big Ten In- door Meet to be held in East Lan- sing March 4-5. Prior to last Saturday's 80-34 win over Notre Dame, the Wol- verines set down highly-rated Kansas, 80/-33%, and also made a fine showing in the AAU meet January 29. 'M' Swamps Irish Wolverine athletes were out- standing individually, snaring 11 first places in 12 events. Byron Beams of Notre Dame, took the shot put event with a heave of 52' %21 The greatest feat of the young season was John Moule's, record mile run. He broke the existing field house mark of 4:10.7 and meet record of 4:18.8, set in 1944. Even more impressive was the fact that he ran a 4:09.9 mile under no pressure from the other runners. Before the meet it was expected that Bill Squires, Notre Dame tracksters who had run a 4:10.7 mile the previous week, would pro- vide stiff competition for the fast- stepping Moule. Moule. Wins Easily The Wolverine track captain, however, broke the tape well ahead of Squires or any other entrants. The lanky Canadian's outstand- ing performance makes his the fastest college mile of the year. Ties Meet Mark Sophomore John Johnson began his varsity track career in fine fashion Saturday, taking the 60- yard dash and tying the meet mark. He had a swift :06.3 time. The mile relay team of Dave Hessler, Dick Flodin, Goldberg { and Grant Scruggs whipped Notre Dame's quartet with a 3:22.5 time. Flodin lost ground to an Irish run- ner but Goldberg was able to make some of it up so that when Scruggs tok the baton from him for the final quarter mile, he had a 10-yard lead which he held for the rest of the race. Hits New High Bob Appleman, veteran Wolver- ine pole vaulter, recorded his best day against the Irish, winning the event with a 13'-6" jump. Can- ham was extremely pleased since this was six inches better than he had ever climbed before. Gray Sets Record Pete Gray's 880 time also es- tablished a new meet record. He stayed behind Al Schoenig, Notre Dame's top half miler, for the first two laps of the 4-lap race, and then sprung into the lead, winning the event in 1:54.5. The former mark; 1:55.9, was set in 1944. JOHN MOULE, PETE GRAY . . . record breakers Another record-breaking per- formance was made by Michigan's Mark Booth. His leap of 6' 6" in the high jump enabled him to add an inch to the old meet record of 6'-5" set by Leonas, N.D., Wes Al- len, Mich., 1939; Don Canham, Mich., 1940. Bernie Allard of the Irish, capable of jumping 6' 6" also, captured second place, fol- lowed by Howie Liverance of Mich- igan. Liverance's 6'-5" leap was the best of his career. Sets New Mark Tom Hendricks turned in a :07.4 time in the 65-yard low hurdles to snap thesmeet record and tie the field house mark. A week be- fore he also matched the field house record against Kansas. The former meet time was :07.5. Freshman Wins In an added event, the 600-yard run, freshman Robin Varian out- distanced three other Michigan freshman, winning in a fast 1:15.0. All in all, it was a field day at the field house last Saturday, and Canham is as pleased with the team's performance as anyone. Before going to Michigan State, March 4, however, the Wolverines battle Ohio State here Tuesday, Feb. 22. This meet will determine also, to a large extent, Michigan's chances in the Conference meet, for if the squad scores an impres- sive victory over the Buckeyes, it will have indicated its ability to place high consistently, and the first places are the big point-get- ters in Big Ten meets.

Sabre Jets (forfeit) No.1 Team Turns Down NIT Offer Gopher Cagers Rank Eighth in AP Balloting By The Associated Press The defense-minded San Fran- cisco Dons, who turned down a National Invitation Basketball Tournament bid because they're confident of going into the NCAA Tournament, yesterday establish- ed themselves more firmly as the nation's No. 1 college basketball team. The Dons, who ousted Ken- tucky from the lead last week, topped the tenth weekly Associ- ated Press ranking poll of sports writers and broadcasters by a mar- gin of nearly 300 points, although they received fewer first-place votes than they did a week ago. Votes Scattered An oddity in the balloting was that first three teams scored high- er than last week in the points, Reds Invaded MOSCOW (W) - The first American athletes to visit the Soviet Union for competition since World War Two arrived in Moscow Monday night to compete in the World Speed Skating Championships start- ing this weekend. The American team is com- posed of Ken Henry of Chicago, Don McDermott of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., John Werket of Minneapolis.

Other Contenders Split The Wolverine cause was also aided by league rivals over the weekend, as Minnesota divided a two-game set with Michigan Tech, and North Dakota split with Colo- rado College. To gain the trip to the Broad- moor once again Vic Heyliger's icers will have to win at least five out of their final six games, in- cluding at least one from Minneso- ta this coming weekend. Following the big series at Min- neapolis this weekend, Michigan takes on North Dakota in a big four-point series at the Coliseum, and then closes at home against Michigan Tech on March 6 and 7. A sweep of all six games would au- tomatically give Michigan a play- off berth. Despite all of this optimistic fu- ture-scanning, pessimism was the bywdrd from Coach Heyliger fol- lowing the weekend sweep. The genial coach rolled his battered ci- gar in his mouth, exclaiming "our defense was loose, we had only one line that could score, State played their best games of the season, and despite all this we wor." Shift Planned To remedy this Heyllger plans to shift his second line around so that Jerry Karpinka will be at center, flanked by Jay Goold and IN THE WINTER GENERATION POTTERY-FROM THE GROUND UP a photographic essay by C.

BILL MacFARLAND, captain of Michigan's rising pucksters, scored his fourth hat trick of the season and garnered a total of eight points in the weekend series with Michigan State to tie for scoring honors with teammate Tom Rendall and help further the Wolverines' chances of gaining a berth to the NCAA playoffs. SALES OPPORTUNITIES but the first-place ballots were scattered more widely as some of the other tournament - minded teams gathered support. Points, as usual, are scored on the basis of 10 for each first place vote, nine for second, etc. San, Francisco, winning two games last week, drew the votes of 61 of the 126 voters and a to- tal of 1,164 points. Last week the Dons had 68 firsts and only 1,107 points. Kentucky again registered 867, points, but with only 12 first-place ballots as compared to last week's 19. Minnesota, a 78-71 winner over Illinois, moved up from 12th place to 8th and Illinois fell from tenth to 14th. Marquette, unbeaten since its opening game and the first "at' large" team selected from the NCAA Tournament, registered an- other big gain, going from ninth place to sixth. Top Twenty The top 20 teams with first place votes in parentheses: Records Pliints Purdue Downs Badgers, 75-63 LAFAYETTE, Ind. (P) - Last- place Purdue juggled its lineup last night and came up with the combination to beat Wisconsin, 75-63, in a second-division Big Ten basketball tilt. Badger Dick Miller paced the scoring with 23. * * IOWA CITY OP)- - The Iowa Hawkeyes overcame an early four- point deficit and flashed back to down Ohio State, 79-68, last night. Iowa cleared the bench and us- ed all available men in the pro- cess. Ohio played again without Robin Freeman, the Big -Ten's high scorer. Marciano Has Crucial Test GROSSINGER, N.Y. (A') - A worried Rocky Marciano will put his golden beak to the test today in a four-round workout with sparmate Keene Simmons. Yves Hebert. Of the 11 Michigan goals scored last weekend, this line managed to produce only one - thus the shakeup is in order. Defense will also be the byword this week at the Coliseum, as the Wolverines drill to break up the devastating Gopher power plays led by the league's leading scorer, Johnny Mayasich. On close analysis most observers will conclude that Michigan was lucky to gain the sweep of the Michigan State series. Both nights the Wolverines had to come from behind to win, and if it was not for the outstanding scoring efforts of Bill MacFarland, and Tommy Rendall, Michigan would be out of the WIHL race as of now. Hat Tricks Galore Up at East Lansing Friday night, before a paltry crowd of just over 1,000 depressed Spartan fans, Mac- Farland and Rendall each tallied three goals, and coupled with a marker by Jerry Karpinka, it was enough to gain a 7-4 win. The feature of tie night was a wild brawl between Michigan's Mike.Buchanan and MSC's Dario Nicoli, who slugged it out bare- fisted for nearly a minute toward the end of the game. Buchanan came out the worse for wear, with his index finger almost severed, (Nicoli bit him), a lacerate dear, and a cut on the forehead. Last-Ditch Victory Both teams played much better hockey the following night, as Michigan roared from behind in the final period to pull out a 4-3 victory before a packed 'crowd in the Coliseum. Despite the fact that Michigan power plays were failing to mate- rialize, and the Spartans were defi- nitely outhustling the Wolverines, Michigan's brilliant front line rose to the occasion, and in a storybook rally, skated right through the Spartan defenses to pull the game out. A goal by Tom Rendall with only four minutes left was the clincher. In two games Rendall, just re- instated to league play, tallied five goals and assisted on three others, while MacFarland, the team's leading scorer, rippled the cords four times and assisted four times. These are indeed fine efforts, but unhappily they point up Michi- gan's tremendous lack of scoring balance, a factor which may yet stem their current rise to WIHL prominence.
