Last years' champs, Sigma Chi, put themselves in position for an- other title by beating Kappa Sig- ma, 58-26. Sigma Chi's big ad- vantage was in their control of the boards and the sharp-shoot- ing of Chuck Brooks, who threw in 15 points. ATO Triumphs Alpha Tau Omega, by applying a tight zone and a fasthbreak smashed the hopes of Alpha Phi Alpha, by winning, 39-20.. Foot- baller Lou Baldacci was high for the victors with 13 points. Pi Lambda Phi had to sweat for their place among the playoff elite as they barely slid by Delta Tau Delta with a last second technical foul shot and won, 31- 30. Pi Lambda Phi overcame a five point deficit with only a few minutes to play before Bill Pitt- ler sunk the deciding free shot. Pittler was also high for his team with 12 points. With a roster of varsity football players and some timely shooting, Phi Delta Theta, easily beat Chi Phi, 36-20. Jim Bates and Jerry Goebel flipped in 12 and 13 points respectively for the winners. Phi Kappa Psi Wins Phi Kappa Psi, behind Jack Gal- lander's 24 points, swept into first place play-off contention by downing Tau Kappa Epsilon, 48- 20. Neither Lambda Chi Alpha nor Phi Kappa Sigma had to work and worry over a play off berth because neither of their oppo- nents showed up. Both Triangle and Phi Kappa Sigma were else- where last night. Sigma Alpha Mu and Theta Chi staged the most impressive con- test of the evening, each fight- ing for a second place play-off spot. Both teams see-sawed back and forth on the scoring cards, un- til with about four minutes to go, Warren Wertheimer pushed in a one-handed set shot from the key, putting the Sammy's one point in the lead. This was the last basket of the game and the SAM's tri- umphed, 34-33. Tau Delts Roll Tau Delta Phi also gained a second-place play-off berth in high-flying style. The Tau Delt's started off quickly against Acacia and breezed to a 35-0 half-time lead. Their defense dragged after the intermission and they only managed to win, 48-6. Sharp- shooting Chuck Baraf was high in the contest with 22 markers. Although no play-off was at stake, the most sparkling individ- ual performance came in Phi Kap- pa Tau's win over Psi Upsilon, 50- 33. Rex Youse flipped in one-hand- er after one-hander for the Phi Kappa Tau's and bagged 32 coun- ters for his team. Other scores were Alpha Epsi- lon Pi 57, Delta Sigma Phi 22; Phi Sigma Kappa 48, Theta Xi 33; and Sigma Phi 40, Alpha Sigma Phi 24. NICK WIESE, Michigan's unbeaten sophomore flying rings ace, shows the form that labels him as one of Newt Loken's top prospects. Unbeaten Wiese Shows Ability on Flying Rings ins Only Undefeated Wrestler ree-Year String Is Smashed. By DAVE GREY Nick Wiese, outstanding sopho- more on Michigan's gymnastic squad, is rapidly becoming one of the best gym prospects to grace the Wolverine scene in a long time. "Within another year, Wiese will be among the best," says Coach Newt Loken in referring to the fine work done by the Holland- born 1hysical Education major. On the flying rings, Wiese is unbeat- en in four meets this season, and has also been placing consistent- ly on the high bar an' in tumbling. He ranks first on the Wolverine team in the rings, second behind senior Frank Adams in tumbling, and second or third in the high bar event. All-Around Star Loken expects the high flying Wiese to be a top all-around man at least by his senior year, and in anticipation of this, the Michigan coach will enter Wiese in the Big Ten all-around event at the con- ference meet coming up in March. Born in Alkmaar, Holland, Wiese arrived in the United States about four years ago, : nd .now lives with his family in Goshen, Indiana. It was while teaching at a camp at Syracuse, Indiana, several sum- mers ago that Wiese met his fu- ture teacher, Loken, and thereby gained an rportunity to visit Michigan. He entered in the fall of 1953 as a freshman at the age of 17. Wiese has been working at gym- nastics since he was seven years old. A need to correct a childhood rounded-back condition started him on the road to gymnastic laurels. New Tricks Come Fast He admits however, that he "had no love for gymnastics" un- til he discovered that he was one of the lucky few 'yho "could do certain tricks." He has been learn- ing new stunts ever since, especial- ly this past season. A cheerleader, an activity which keeps many gymnasts in shape during the fall, Wiese is working hard to put himself through school. The friezdly - natured, handsomely-built athlete has par- ticularly won respect for his sin- cere, co-operative, and hardwork- ing attitude in gymnastics. Wiese was among the four man team that represented Michigan at the extensive gym clinic held in Florida over Christmas vacation. He was further honored by being picked by c-aches and clinic off i- cials to compete in the all-star North-South meet, won by his North squad.

"Kramer will stay at center," Perigo emphasized. "He's proven to me that he can play pivot in the Big Ten, although Williams (Harvey Williams, 6-8 center, who became temporarily ineligible be- cause of a scholastic deficiency), who should be ready for Minnesota Sature ay, may be of some use against 3il Simonovich, their 6- 10 pivot man." Kramer Stars It was Kramer who played the major role in upsetting North- western's Wildcats, 72-70, Monday night in one of the most thrilling finishes of the current Big Ten season. His 28 points led both teams, and his clutch basket, with less than five -econds to play, won the game before a thrilledcrowd of 4,000 at Yost Field House. Thus the Wolverines, Big Ten doormats for the past several years, emerged into a tie for fourth place, with hopes of at least re- maining in the first division throughout the remainder of the campaign. About the Northwestern game, Coach Perigo stated, "We didn't play nearly as well as a unit as we did against Illinois. It was Kra- mer, of course, who kept us in the game; no question about it." Defense the Problem "The kids have been playing much better ball," Perigo contin- ued. "As long as the defense will hold, I feel certain that our of- fense can pile up enough points to win. Our big improvement has been on defense. I thought Lingle did an excellent job of guarding Ehmann, their high-scoring for- ward, and Kramer did as good a job on Grant as has been done on him all year." As for the future, the coach stated, "We've got the three.top teams to play yet. That would fit into the picture, definitely." This includes two games with Iowa, plus a home tilt with Minnesota and a road game at Illinois. "I certainly am hoping for a first-division fin- ish, however," Perigo safd. nly to this Kaul was carrying a fab- an's ulous win record that began nearly nits three years ago at the beginning last of his sophomore year and totaled over thirty consecutive dual meet ral- victories.

Govig, who has been held to a draw twice, is the defending NCAA champ. Assistant Coach Bob Betzig at- tributed the loss to a slightly cocky attitude resulting from un- derestimating the Hawkeyes' po- tency and a too light dismissal of the loss to Illinois. On the other hand Head Coach Cliff Keen thought that the de- feat was due in part to the better conditioning of the Iowa squad. Minnesota ....... Iowa ........«... Slinois .........

At any rate, the greatest, up-to-datest college survey shows that college smokers prefer Luckies to all other brands-and by a wide margin. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better.
