UNESDAY, DECEMBER I4,195b THE MICHIGAN . DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Michigan To Face 'Rough' Hoop Card Western Conference Rated Strong For Current Campaign By Perigo A 2 9 t ROBIN FREEMAN ... OSU ace returns Former 'M' Icers Eye By The Associated Press Two former Michigan Varsity hockey players, Willard Ikola and John Matchefts, were among the 22 men who were selected to try out for the United States Olympic hockey squad. Matchefts was captain and cen- ter of the 1950-51 Wolverine squad, which won the NCAA champion- ship during his senior year. Ikola, who graduated in 1954, was goalie on the national champions of 1952 and 1953. Start Training Tomorrow Players who will make up the Olympic team will start training in Duluth, Minnesota, tomorrow. Of the 22 players picked for the train- ing, 17 will be selected for final registration on January 10. The five-player cut is expected to be made before Christmas. Hockey fans in this area will have a chance to see the U.S. squad play Michigan's current team in a U.S. Olympic Fund benefit contest at the Olympia in Detroit on Janu- ary 11. By JIM BAAD On return from vacation, Michi- gan's basketball team will em- bark on another Big Ten season -"an extremely tough one" ac- cording to coach Bill Perigo. The Wolverines, upon finishing their seven "warm-up" games, en- ter into conference competition against Ohio State, featuring, probably, another fabulous court performance by Robin Freeman, one of basketball's greatest shots. Before quitting at the end of 13 games because of illness last season, Freeman had compiled an average of 31.5 points a game. Backing up Freeman will be a host of "tall men," that necessary basketball item that has eluded OSU in past years. On the start- ing five are Frank Howard, 6'5", and Ken Sidle, 6'5". Minnesota Next Next on the Michigan schedule is Minnesota. Here will be defi- nite trouble in the hulking form of Bill Simonovich, the 6'11" Golden Gopher center who needs only to stick up his great arms, receive the ball, and turn around to make a basket. A happy thought is the very noticeable absence of All-Ameri- cans Dick Garmaker and Chuck Mencel. Minnesota coach Ozzie Cowles feels that the loss of these two will definitely hurt his team, but he is depending on sophomore talent to fill the gap. After Minnesota, the Blue team faces the 'easier' Big Ten teams, Purdue, Northwestern and Wis- consin. None of these teams possesses any great potential, but all are stamped "improved" or "building." Purdue has several returning lettermen on its squad, among them Joe Sexson, who led last year's squad in scoring. Despite its rating, Purdue has beaten Mis- souri, the team which dumped highly-ranked Illinois, 74-73, if this means anything. Northwestern has its hopes rid- ing on 6'11" center, Bill Schulz, who was ineligible last year, but who is ready to go this season with some extra scoring punch. Wisconsin is "building." Top scorer Dick Cable has been lost, and the sophomore talent, though good enough, is not very tall. Cream of Crop Following this "soft spot" in the schedule, Michigan takes on the cream of the Western Conference crop, the top four teams, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan State. Iowa has definitely been rated the Number one team in the Big Ten by many sources in the know, besides holding down fourth place in the nation on the weekly As- sociated Press basketball poll. The Hawkeyes have lost only one of the regulars from their 1955 Western Conference cham- pions. Returning in a good cause to hold their title are Carl Cain, Bill Logan, Milt Scheuerman and1 Bill Seaberg. Cain, a 6'3" forward, is expected to do great things for the Hawk-1 eyes this year. Coach Bucky 0'- Afain? You'd think Ron Kramer would be satisfied after making virtually every major all-Ameri- ca football team.; Kramer may be satisfied, but the magazines aren't: Sport Magazine thinks enough of his1 basketball abilities to give him an honorable mention rating on, its pre-season all-America hoop team. Better watch out, Mr. Cul- bertson-he plays bridge, too. Connor feels that his team is every bit as strong this year as they were in last year's championship drive. Illini Strong Illinois will be a strong chal- lenger to Iowa's chances. The whole Illini first string is back with a host of talented sopho- mores. Among the returnees are Paul Judson and Bill Ridley, both of whom were picked on several all Big Ten teams a year ago. Supplementing this experience is Hary Schmidt, 6'6", who broke into the starting lineup this year, replacing Bruce Brothers, a regu- lar of last year. In Indiana the court looks strange. A familiar figure is miss- ing. Don Schlundt is finally gone. After four long years Indiana must find a new center, and they don't seem very upset. Archie Dees is the answer. Dees, a 6'8" sophomore, is only one of the many first-year varsity men who will make Indiana strong this year. Charlie Brown and Paxton Lumpkin are two more. Rounding out the Big Ten pic- ture is MSU. The Spartans have Julius McCoy, Duane Peterson and Walt Godfrey back, and a sopho- more of promise, Jack Quiggle. Perigo rates Michigan State fourth behind the three I's.

Michigan's most serious problem is a scarcity of sophomore talent to back up the group of outstand- ing lettermen. This is coupled with the loss of several consistent point scorers from last year's team. Among the ten returning veter- ans, .eight placed in the top six in at least one event in last year's Big Ten championship meet. Com- bined they placed in 14 events. Leading the 1955 squad will be one of the greatest swimmers in the world, Jack Wardrop. Wardrop set the world's record in the 400 yard individual medley, and holds the world, NCAA and Big Ten championship in the 220 yard free style. The other half of the Wardrop team, brother Bert, is also return- ing. Bert was a consistent per- former last year, and was extreme- ly valuable for his ability to pick up points in practically any event. Co-captains John O'Reilly and Mike Delaney should also be im- portant factors in the Wolverines' bid for conference honors. In last year's Big Ten Conference meet, Delaney was third in the 200 yard butterfly while O'Reilly placed second in the 1500 yard free style, and took fourths in both the 220 and 440 yard free style. Despite their lack of depth, the Wolverines should be a strong con- tender for conference honors. Last year's winner, Ohio State, has the problem of replacing several grad- uates, including two of their great- est swimmers, Ford Konno and Yoshi Oyakawa. OSU also is lack- ing in outstanding sophomore per- formers. Indiana and Michigan State both have strong, well-balanced squads, and pose a serious threat. A vital factor in Michigan championship chances will be the performances of the other letter- men. Much is expected of Jim Kruthers in the back stroke events, Jim Thurlow in the breast stroke, Harrison Wehner and Fritz Myers in the free style races and Charlie Bates and John Narcy in the div- ing.

Mike Rodriguez is the latest in this long line of top - notch grapplers. Last year as a sophomore, the 157 pounder won the Big Ten Championship in this event and later went on to place second in the NCAA tournament to Iowa State's Bill Weick, who formerly held the NCAA 137 pound title. Bright Future' In the words of wrestling Coach Cliff Keen, "Anyone who can do this as a sophomore has a very bright future. He is definitely one of the best." Even though he is only a junior, Rodriguez was elected by his team- mates to captain this year's squad. This is one of the highest tributes that can ever be payed to an ath- lete and it reflects how hard a worker Rodriguez is; in fact, he is probably one of the busiest men on campus. Aside from spending up to 18 hours a week at wrestling practice, Rodriguez is holding down a part time job in a gas station to sup- port his wife, June, and two chil- dren, Steve and Jacquelyn. He explains that it is not so tough this year - as last, since he has three nights off a week to study. Last year he worked every night after supper for eight hours. Rodriguez is carrying 18 hours of credit, majoring in Physical Education. It is because he in- tends to go into coaching (wrest- ling preferably) that he is so ac- tive in sports. This fall he tried out for right halfback on the football squad and although he didn't do too well since there were four seniors ahead of him, he may well be out there trying again next year. This will depend on his activi- ties this spring. Rodriguez is planning on trying out for the Olympic wrestling team. Should he make it, he will have to drop from school for a semester to compete in the games. In his esti- mation, the sacrifice will be well worthwhile. State Champ Rodriguez is from Ann Arbor, having won the high school 147- pound state championship two years in a row. He then spent a year at Kiski Preparatory School in Pennsylvania picking up some credits he lacked froni high school and also picked up the National Prep School Championship in 1952. After spending a semester at Michigan State Normal, Rodriguez finally made it back to Ann Arbor and has since been the pace-setter on the Michigan team. Rodriguez's wrestling style is very exciting to watch. He is ex- tremely versatile and exceptionally fast. In meets in which wrestlers from many schools are entered, it is not at all uncommon to have crowds of them gathered about to watch his bouts. It is quite evident that Rodri- guez will be a thorn in the side of all Big Ten 157 pounders this year.
