PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1956 Michigan Stands Out as 1955's National Powerhouse student Pi Stands ________Complete ublications Busy Year '4 __ _ _L - By JIM BAAD As the fall of 1955 brought on the annual atmosphere of football, Michigan was proninently in the headlines. Michigan was -the powerhouse, not only of the Western Confer- ence, not only in the Midwest, but in the nation. Local papers, out- of-town papers, and many national magazines had the Wolverines on top or near the top in allthe pre- season polls. It was therefore a disappoint- ment to some when the publicized Gods of the Gridiron could only come through with a 7-2 season record, a win over rival power Michigan State, plus one of the most exciting games ever seen in Michigan's 97,000 plus stadium. Many fans felt cheated when they couldn't follow their team to the Rose Bowl. Many couldn't understand why Ohio State won with nothing but Hopalong Cas- sidy and one of the strongest lines in the nation. The disappointment ha disap- peared for the most part, however, and Aimost everyone realizes that, although overrated at the season's beginning, the Wolverines gave many a lot to cheer about and were successful after all. Ar5y Game It was a season of thrills, com- bining unexpected runaways with dramatic surges from behind. The first cheering came against Army,1 rated Michigan's big obstacle to a perfect season. The cadets had no chance from the opening whistle. While the fans went wild, Michi- gan climbed into the number one spot in the nation rolling up a 26-2 victory over the power of the East. Then Minnesota, then Iowa-two contests where dejection turned' to frenzied joy as the Maize and Blue turned on unlooked-for last half power. Against the Gophers, 14 points were needed for a victory. The last half produced them. Against Iowa the picture was lust as dark. Then Michigan took to the air, Tom Maentz and Ron Kramer became impossible to miss with a pass, and touchdown after touchdown flashed on the score- board under'MICHIGAN. As the jubilant fans poured out of the stadium only a glance was needed to see who had won, 33-21. After Iowa came the season's fatal loss to Illinois. The details of this, like the details of the Ohio State game, are too easily remem- bered, and would just .as soon be forgotten in a surge of optimism S for 195. With the snow and cold blasts of winter came a switch in Wolverine International Students w.

In six winter sports, three were champions, two were runners-up, and only one came out a loser. Hockey was the sport synony- mous with victory throughout the winter. Coach Vic Heyliger's crew went all the way for the second straight year, annexing their sixth NCAA title in nine years. Also, for the first time since 1952, the puck- sters won the WIHL crown out- right, clinching the prize in a cru- cial four game series with Michi- gan Tech that local hockey fans will long remember. Three key games, plus the NCAA playoff contests, provided the best of the excellent play that eventu- ally led Michigan to the top. The Wolverines lost an unexpected contest to Denver early in the sea- son, causing many fans to wonder about the forecasted power of this three deep, powerpacked team. The next night doubt diminished as Denver fell to the avengers, 6-3. Once again Michigan suffered an unexpected defeat, this time to Colorado, and once again the chips were down. Heyliger's crew proved tiemselves the next night, howevr, winning 7-3. The next big challenge came at the beginning of the Tech series. The first game was all important, and it was on the Huskies' home ice. Michigan won handily, 5-2, crushing both hopes and confi- dence in the Michigan Tech team.
