Despite its idleness from West- ern Intercollegiate Hockey League competition last weekend, the Wol- verines saw their chances for their ninth straight NCAA playoff berth improve greatly. Gophers Help For the second straight weekend, the Gophers were vital to Michi- gan's playoff drive. Ten days ago they dropped a pair of contests to the Wolverines. Last Friday and Saturday nights they stunned Col- Now that the Michigan track squad has dispensed easily of its dual and quadrangular-meet rivals, it is fast readying itself for more important affairs. Specifically, these affairs in- clude the Big Ten showdown at East Lansing this Friday and Sat- urday. An event which finds prac- tically everyone "in the know" con- ceding the Western Conference crown to Don Canham's talented athletes-that is, everyone but Canham' Held Back The 58-odd points which the Wolverines piled here last, Satur- day against Ohio State, Western Michigan and Marquette could have been added to quite easily with the inclusion of some of the talent which Canham chose not to enter in the tuneup meet. Among sights on a higher, less attainable goal. They have four games to play- all with league-leading Michigan Tech-and their object will be to sweep both series to finish first in the WIHL. Three victories would give the Wolverines a tie for first. Any- thing less than two wins, would leave Michigan's hopes dependent upon the outcome of this week's Colorado-Denver series. Buildup Begins Displaying a powerful offense last weekend against Montreal, the Wolverines will be building up all this week for Friday night's first of two clashes with Tech at Houghton. Following the, away tilts, the title contenders come to Ann Arbor March 9 and 10 for the conclusion to the torrid race. Second line power, the key to last weekend's 15 point scoring spree against Montreal, will be counted on heavily in the upcom- ing Huskie series. Neil McDonald had two goals and four assists; Dick Dunnigan contributed a single goal and four assists. Scoring five goals Friday, Ed Switzer followed with four assists Saturday. NEIL McDONALD ..second line power By AL WINKELSTEIN The Michigan swimmers just weren't in the same league with Ohio State. Last weekend for the first time since 1952, the Wolverine natators were completely outclassed by the Buckeyes. The final score of 57-36 does not fully indicate the ease with which Ohio State won. The Buckeyes with its win over Michigan completed an undefeated season, and definitely are the strongest team in the Big Ten. End Poor Season Michigan concluded their dual meet season, one of their. worst in its history, with a rather dismal record of only one Big Ten victory against four conference defeats. Michigan took only two firsts in the meet, and were close in only one other event. In several events, the Buckeyes assured Michigan of at least four points, by entering only one man. It is even conceivable that Ohio State could have taken the two events that Michigan did win. Al Wiggens and Ed Kawachika, two of the finest swimmers on the Buckeye squad, each were eligible to compete in another event. Don' Harper of OSU ended the Wolverine's hope for diving honors as he completely dominated that event. Fletcher Gilders, the Buck- eye's other diver, beat Michigan's John Narcy for second in a very close contest. In the middle distance swim- ming events, Gerry McNamee of Ohio won both the 220 and 440 free style events handily. Michi- gan's captain, John O'Reilly had to settle for a poor third in both events. The Wolverine's weakness was also apparent in the 400 yard free style relay. The Buckeye quartet set a new dual meet record in the relay, with the Wolverine four fin- ishing a poor second, far behind the winners. One bright spot in the Michigan camp was the performance of Bobby Knox, who just recently re- turned to the team. Knox took second place honors in both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle. In both these events, he lost by small margins, especially in the 50-yard race, in which Jim Kimmel beat him by less than a foot.

Ron Wallingford, who did win the mile but wasn't en- tered in the two-mile, which he undoubtedly could have come back to win also. O'Reilly Sett Recorai The major developments of the afternoon, of course, were Bren- dan O'Reilly's heralder high jump of 6'71/", the best in the Big Ten this season, and Jimmy Pace's win in the 60 in :06.3. Before the pre- sent campaign started, Coach Can- ham's entire hopes for the sprints seemed to rest on the shoulders of letter-winning John Johnson, and when Johnson was rendered in- ejigible, things looked fairly bleak in the sprint department. The apparent arrival of Pace, however, seems to guarantee Mich- igan some valuable points in the short dash event next Saturday at Michigan State.
