Special to The Daily
DETROIT-A cheer went up as-the 14th Congressional District
cast the majority of its 110 votes for John Feikens at the State-
Republican Convention here yesterday, assuring him of a second
term as the party's state chairman.
The votes of three more Wayne County districts gave Feikens a
total of 997 of the possible 1606 votes and led his opponent, Arthur
T. Iverson, to concede defeat.
Feikens' ability to pull votes out of the big areas such as Oak-
lal~d, Kent, and Wayne districts proved the deciding factor in his

SCORE 34i VICTORY :
Ice Squad Beats Minnesota
To Raise Playoff Hopes

By ALAN EISENBERG
Television viewers could have
switched channels but the capaci-
ty crowd of 8,500 that jammed
Yost Field House yesterday after-
noon had to watch until the bit-
ter, dismal end.
The high-flying Minnesota Go-
phers took a giant step towards
their first Big Ten crown in 18
years as they grounded out a 74-
65 triumph over a scrappy, but
out-manned Michigan five.
Bill Simonovich, a mammoth
6'10" 270-pounder, was the big-
gest of many guns in the Minneso-
ta scoring attack. The Gopher
center whipped in 28 points, 19
coming in the second half. ick
Garmaker, leading point getter
in the Western Conference, threw
in 20 points, and Chuck Mencel
garnered 17 markers.j
Kramer Nets- 25I
For Michigan, the sensational
Ron Kramer again led the way.
Playing at the center slot, and giv-
ing away 10 inches and many
pounds, the sophomore still man-
aged to flip 25 points through the
nets.
But Kramer couldn't do it all
by himself and Minnesota had too
much for the Wolverines. The
Gophers showed greater height,
more accurate shooting, better
floor play, and a stronger bench.
Minnesota began to open up a
bulge with two minutes gone in
the second half. Simonovich pick-
ed up six straight points for the
visitors while Michigan was be-
ing held to a lone field goal by
Captain Paul Groffsky. Then
Garmaker and Mencel hit from
the field, and with 14:15 remain-
ing in the game, the Gophers led,
50-41.
The winners kept on applying
the pressure and it began to tell
on the game Wolverines. Another
splurge of baskets boosted Minne-
sota's lead to 12 points with only
one-quarter of the game still to
play.
M' Gets Break
At the 11:58 mark, the Maize
and Blue received a break. Groffs-
ky blocked a Garmaker shot, and
in the ensuing scramble, Garmaker
grabbed the Wolverine forward
and picked up his fifth personal
foul:
But Michigan could not take ad-
vantage of the gift. Instead, the
winners increased their lead. Five
points by the robot-like Simono-
vich, two by Gerry Lindsley, bro-
ken up only by a scoring jump shot
by Jim Shearon, gave Minnesota a
74-57 advantage with only two
minutes left in the game.
Michigan Opens Quick
In the beginning, however, the
upset-minded Maize ,and Blue
threw quite a scare into the Ozzie
Cowles-coached aggregation. For-
ward Jerry Stern brought the huge
crowd to its feet as he sent a one-
hand push shot through the hoop
to open the scoring. Kramer and
Tom Jorgenson followed Stern's
example, and pushed Michigan's
lead to 6-0.
The Maize and Blue kept on
scoring ... and the crowd kept on
roaring. When Kramer scored
from the field with 5:17 gone in
the opening half, the Wolverines
led '13-3. -. ~
But this was not to last. When
Simonovich hit on a lay-up with
6:04 still to play in the initial 20
minutes, the Gophers moved into
a 24-23 advantage, a lead they
were never to relinquish,

MINNEAPOLIS-Pressing stead-
ily throughout the entire contest,
Michigan's exploding hockey team
defeated a sinking Gopher sextet,
3-1, last night in jam-packed Wil-
liams Arena.
The win coupled with Fri-
day night's victory considerably
strengthens the Wolverines chanc-
es of gaining a berth to the NCAA
championships next month in
Colorado Springs. Michigan moved
to within one-half point of sec-
ond-place Michigan Tech who was
idle this weekend.
Minnesota Takes Lead
Minnesota appeared to be in
good shape at 2:27 of the first
period as Gopher Ken Yackel skat-
ed in front of the nets and flipped
the puck past Michigan goalie
Lorne Howes to start the scoring
for the evening. This was all they
could garner during the entire
night as the Gopher sextet out-
shot Michigan nearly two to one
and completely dominated the con-
test.
Minnesota is now virtually out
of the race for a playoff berth
while the Maize and Blue must
sweep their crucial four-point ser-
ies with North Dakota next week-
end to keep their strengthening
hopes alive.
Tom Rendall opened the Wol-
verine onslaught at 8:27 as he
flipped an unassisted goal past
Gopher goalie John Mattson to tie
the score and keep Michigan in
the game.

Another first period goal by Dick,
Dunnigan with two and a half

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
SINGAPORE (P)-Eight nations
which have banded together to de-
fend the free countries of South-
east Asia are going to put "fight-
ing teeth" into the Manila Pact
to protect this crucial lower cor-
ner of Asia from further Commun-
ist aggression.
Machinery for the Southeast
Asia Treaty Organization-ratified
the first day of this month by the
United States Senate-is expected
to get a thorough oiling as the sig-
natories sit down in the capital of
Red-threatened Thailand to take
tough and . effective steps to stem
the Communist tide. Both Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and Sir Anthony Eden are expect-
ed to attend.
The United States and Britain,
in advance of the conference op-
ening in Bangkok on Feb. 23, are
understood to have agreed in prin-
ciple to steer away from any big
NATO-type standing army as the
best means of defending the re-
gion.
But the conference is slated to
set up a military blueprint which
would cover the use of armed forc-
es in coping with any Red-created
emergencies endangering k e y
Southeast Asia countries. The ter-
ritory covered by SEATO does not
include Formosa or Korea, where
separate agreements by the United
States hold at bay the Red Chi-
nese armies.
Along with plans for coordinat-
ing America's mobile striking pow-
er with British, Australian and
New Zealand forces, the SEATO
conferees also are expected to ac-
cent political and economic meas-
ures to block Communist subver-
sive moves.

tember in Manila signed the pact

Men's Glee Club, Batoners Bill Modlin and Champ Patton, and
the Wolverine band.
Fans were swarming in by 1:45 p.m. and by 2:30, a half-hour
before game time, the student sections were filled.

Two television cameras were in use on the east side of the field-
house, one on floor level, the other in a specially constructed ramp
high up above the fans.
Players were introduced individually with the appropriate school
song playing softly in the background. Starting the game in unusually
fine voice, Michigan fans backed up each introduction, providing
comfort for the lonely players facing the camera.

Prof. Philip Duey's Men's Glee Club provided entertainment at
half-time singing a medley of Michigan songs. Baton twirlers Champ
Patton and Bill Modlin also put on a brilliant show, but unfortunately
TV cameras focused on a Big 10 official who was diagraming the
