THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1956 ilE MiCIGA I)AiL NCAA Ice Finals Tech, Boston Duel Tonight; 'M' Meets Larries Friday By DAVE GREY Special To The Daily COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Vic Heyliger and his Michigan hockey teams are becoming a habit here come every March and the NCAA playoffs. The Wolverines will have to wait a night, however, before they can take the ice at the Broadmoor Ice Palace for the ninth straight time in nine years. Tech Plays Tonight Eastern representative Boston College will play the state of Mich- igan's-other entry-Michigan Tech .tonight. Defending champion Iichigan plays St. Lawrence here tomorrow evening at 8:15 (10:15 Ann Arbor time). All four playoff teams arrived here on a chartered plane at 4 p.m. and were given an extra-royal welcome by Broadmoor officials, enthusiastic visitors and local hockey fans in this vacation para- dise. It was a strange sight for all four teams to arrive together on one plane. In the past the other1 WIHL representatives, besides ever-present Michigan, has either been Colorado College or Minne- sota. Spirit High Although no local team is repre- sented, spirit for the collegiate hockey spectacle is as high as ever. Nearly 250 students from Tech plus' a band are expected by game time tonight for the Huskies' opening-round battle. Over 3,000 fans will jam every corner of the colorful arena, for each of the games. Opinion here is that Michigan is the -definite favorite for its sixth NCAA title in nine years. The two Eastern squads-Boston College and small St. Lawrence- are not strong in comparison to the WIHL's two representatives. Tech is still smarting from four straight beatings by Michigan, 5-2, 6-3,.5-1 and 5-1. But Michigan remembers that anything can happen at the Broad- moor. It was only back in 1954 that RPI upset the whole apple- cart by winning over favored Mich- igan, 6-4, in the first round. Engineers' First Trip The Wolverines again have the edge in experience, while Tech will be making its first appearance in the national championships. The conditions are ripe for the Engineers from Houghton either to feel the added pressure or maybe become inspired. The test will come tonight for Al Renfrew's teams as they meet the third-best Eastern sextet, Bos- ton College, sporting- a 14-5 season record. St. Lawrence, Michigan's oppon- ent tomorrow night, has been hit hard by the four-year eligibility question that kept the East's best team-undefeated Clarkson Tech--- from the tournament. Four key men will be missing from the Larries' line-up, includ- ing their whole first team defense. Formal Reception Tomorrow Michigan will work out lightly today, then sit back and watch the first game tonight. Besides the always-popular sightseeing at the foot of the majestic Pikes Peak region, a formal reception has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at the Broadmoor Hotel.. Queen of the tournament, Miss Jackie Lair, was among those that greeted the teams yesterday at the airport. The pert 19-year-old Colorado College sophomore and her court will host the large re- ception and then, reign over the rest of the hockey championships. -Phil Douglis RELAXING AT BROADMOOR-This is one of the things which Michigan's hockey squad will be doing in order to relieve the pre-game tension at Colorado Springs.

Ann Arbor High Swimmers Win State Championship; Gaxiola Standout Diver By ALAN JONES It was an almost-perfect season. With the three' biggest high school swimming crowns in Michi- gan under its belt the Ann Arbor High School swimming team can look back on a season blemished only by a single-point loss to Lans- ing Eastern. \The Ann Arbor boys completed the season last Saturday night as they walked off with the State Swimming Championship in front of an over-capacity crowd at Mich- igan's I-M Pool. Previously they had copped the Creal Bowl Relays in December and won the Six-A Championship in late February. The whole season was a team affair for the Pioneers, as they showed good men in all events and plenty of depth in dual meets. In the state meet they took two firsts, four seconds and a sixth besides a fourth in the freestyle relay. Because of this balance it is hard to pick out the outstanding performer. If one were forced to ', Tonight's I-M Open House Schedule BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS-- 6:30 Gomberg 'B' vs. Reeves 'B' 6:30 Phi Delta Theta 'B' vs. Sigma Chi 'B' 7:45 Phi Kappa Sigma 'A' vs. Sigma, Chi 'A' 7:45 Seldom Seen Kids vs. Globetrotters 9:00 Strauss 'A' vs. Williams 'A' 9:00 Nu Sigma Nu vs. Phi Alpha Kappa VOLLEYBALL- 7:00 Turks vs. Chinese 8:00 Sociology vs. English 9:00 Air Science vs. Psychology D' SWIMMING- 8:15 Residence Halls Championships 8:45 Fraternity Championships WATER POLO- 9:30 Faculty All-Stars vs. Forestry Club All-Stars 10:00 Williams vs. Cooley (Residence Hall championship) DIVING- 7:15 Clown and exhibition diving by Varsity and Freshman team members PADDLEBALL- 7;00 Winchell vs. Strauss, Wenley vs. Chicago; Huber vs. Michigan 8:00 Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Sigma Chi; Cooley vs. Scott; Gomberg vs. Lloyd; Adams-Kelsey vs. Hayden. 9:00 Phi Delta Theta vs. Delta Tau Delta; Greene vs. Allen- Rumsey; Reeves vs. Williams.

Gaxiola was recently named to the Mexican Olympic Squad. In the state finals, when diving last, Al had the whole field out-pointed without even do- ing his last dive. Ann Arbor appears to have a fine team in the making for next year, with five out of the eight boys that placed in the state meet returning. Pete Gale, who copped the 50-yard freestyle crown in the state meet, and Alvaro will gradu- ate, but the boys who grabbed those four seconds will be back next year aspiring for firsts in the state.
