T8E MCHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1956 THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1956 San Francisco )ons Record 55th Straight Vin, Subdue Iowa, 83-71 Retains NCAA Basketball Crown Rodriguez, Marchello Advance to Semis In NCAA Mat Tournament, Aggies Lead By ALAN EISENBEkG Associate Sports Editor Special To The Daily j VANSTON - 'San- Francisco ed its toughest test of the sea- here last night by defeating a, 83-71, to capture the NCAA etball championship. jae Dons became the third team collegiate history to capt--re coveted title two years run- . The victory also extended r winning streak to a record 55 es. Spectacular Displayn capacitiy crowd of 10,653 saw of the best teams on record avis Cuper? C PP { put on a magnificent exhibition. The champs shot with great ac- curacy, passed effectively and played a tight defensive game. Bill Russell, 6'10" center for the West Coast squad, finally lived up to his rave notices. Russell was the high scorer in the game with 26 points-but that was only the beginning. He was also a tower of strength off both backboards and played excellently on defense. In the consolation round, Temple displayed a powerful offensive game as it stopped Southern Meth- odist, 90-81. Co-captain Hal Lear went on a tremendous scoring spree as he pumped 48 points through the cords. Lear's game total was an indi- vidual record and his 160 points in the tournament was a new four- game NCAA playoff high. Iowa Gets Fast Lead In the opening minutes of the championship contest it looked as if an upset was in the making. The Dons started slowly and the Hawk- eyes sped to a quick 15-4 lead. But Iowa's shifting man-to-man defense started breaking down and San Francisco moved closer. With 5:51 remaining in the first half, the winners finally went ahead. After the intermission the Dons kept applying the pressure. Russell connected for five straight points at the half-way mark to boost his team's lead to a 62-47 margin. The crowd-the majority root- ing for Iowa-were thrilled when the Hawkeyes made their last move. Four straight points by Carl Cain and Bill Logan reduced the lead. to 76-69 with on two minutes left in the game. But that was as close as the Big Ten champs could ever get the rest of the way. NATIONAL AAU CAGE SEMI-FINAL Phillips 66ers 71, Alabama 69 Seattle Buchans 85, Milwaukee Bradleys 75 MARK BOOTH MIKE RODRIGUEZ ... a new track laurel ... into mat semi-finals AT MONTREAL: booth Sets Canadian High Jump Standard special To The Daily STILLWATER, Okla. - Mike Rodriguez and Jack Marchello downed two men apiece in yester- day's preliminaries of the NCAA Wrestling Tournament to qualify for this afternoon's semi-final round. The big news again was Rodri- guez who pinned both his oppon- ents in his quest for the national crown. Wrestling in the 157 pound divi- sion, which is once again loaded with talent, the Michigan captain will face Doug Blubaugh of Okla- homa A&M this afternoon for the honor of meeting the winner of the match between Illinois' Larry. TenPas and Oklahoma's Jerry Bross, a battle which is termed a toss-up. Another Grudge Match? TenPas, of course,'is Rodriguez' old foe, whereas Bross, relatively unknown to Michigan fans, is a champion in his own right, hav- ing eliminated Iowa's John Winder in yesterday's action after Winder downed Dave Johnson of Pitts- burgh. Johnson is the only grappler to have defeated Rodriguez this season. Marchello, who was praised by Michigan's assistant coach, Bob Betzig, handily decisioned his pre- liminary opponents in the 167 divi- sion but will have the test of his short collegiate career on his hands today when he faces Fred Davis of the Oklahoma A&M Aggies, the defending champion. Frank Hirt and Dan Deppe, the Wolverines' other two entrants, each dropped a preliminary match, but both have chances for the consolation rounds for third and fourth places if their conquerors place in the final round. Hirt Barely Defeated After taking an initial victory at 130 pounds, Hirt lost one of the closest matches of the meet to Ken Townley of Iowa State. Near the end of the final period, the two were tied, 1-1, when Townley gained a two-point takedown on a fast move. Hirt quickly escaped to bring the score to 3-2 but was unable to get the match-winning take- down which he needed. In the quest for their 18th na- tional title the Aggies of Oklaho- ma A&M are being hard-pressed by the University of Oklahoma with Iowa and Pittsburgh putting in strong bids. As a result of the preliminary action the Sooners held a 19-18 edge over the Aggies but the latter pace all teams in the number of semi-final qualifiers with seven. The Sooners have five men left as does Pitt, resting on an 11 point total. Iowa follows closely with 10 points and four qualifiers. Michigan, admittedly not in the race for team honors, neverthe- less has gained a sixth place tie by virtue of its seven point total. Gcgnier Gains In NCAA Meet Special To The Daily CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-Versa- tile Ed Gagnier fell only eight points shy of winning the all- around in the NCAA gymnas- tics meet here tonight, as Don Tonry of Illinois outscored him, 1493 to 1485. The Michigan flash qualified for the finals today in the par- allel bars, with a second, and the high bar, coming in fifth. He came in 11th in the free exercise and 12th in the side horse, but only the top ten in each event gain entrance into the finals. Illinois Big Ten champions are the team leader in the meet. F a N Come to Church Special To The Daily MONTREAL - Mark Booth, Michigan's talented high jumper, leaped 6'4" here last night in thet Eastern Canadian Indoor Trackt Meet to set a new meet record. Booth paced the highjumpingI field with his mark-smashing per-z formance at the Montreal Forum.I It was the first time in threeS years that the event was includedt in the meet. - John Moule, the only other Wol- verine contestant, finished second in the mile. The graduate student placed behind Fred Dwyer of the New York Athletic Club. Booth and Moule bucked un- desirable track conditions as they turned in their top performances. The track was still wet from the melted ice of Thursday's playoff hockey game between Montreal and New York. Another delegation of Wolverine thinclads will perform in Chicago tonight. Michigan is entering eight contestants in the annual Chicago Daily News Relays. Captain Ron Wallingford will run in the two mile. Jim Pace will represent the Wolverines in the 60 yard dash, while Brendan O'Reilly and Eeles Landstrom compete in the high jump and pole vault, re- spectively. Sunday 'A4 ST.

(I)-Al Kaline has been ordered to stop throwing and batting for at least a week be- cause of arm trouble. The American League batting champion has had a sore throw- ing arm off and on since spring training opened. He returned to action a week ago after a rest but admitted his arm still hurt. Opinions differ in the Tiger Pap's Golf Range Open Saturday -- U.S. 23 off Packard Rd. camp as to the seriousness of the ailment. But trainer Jack Homel said the condition may have been caused by an abscessed tooth which Kaline had pulled in January.
