The game is the first of a four game WIHL schedule to be played on the road by the Wolverines this week. They take on Colorado -Col- .lege again tomorrow night and then move on to Denver for games on Friday and Saturday night with Denver University. Michigan this week will be out to break an old "western jinx" that has followed it on past trips into Gomberg Takes Dual 'Sw18M Title Gomberg came from behind last night to defeat Taylor 29-28 and win the I-M residence halls dual swimming title. Trailing by two points Gom- berg's medley relay team of Dave Karr, Bill Wheat, and Dennis Jab- loski splashed to a new meet rec- ord of :38.6 in the last event to give the Big Red the title. Gomberg was in contention from the beginning on the fine efforts of their 100-yard free-style team and Wheat in the 25-yard free-style. The winning free-style team was composed of Wheat, Ed Menc- zer, Wayne Ostrander, and Jab- lonski. Wheat took the 25-yd. free-style in the fast time of :11.1. Taylor built up its early leadion the fine performances of Steve Ford, Bill Cox, and Jim Coates. Ford was first in the 25-yd. breaststroke, Cox took the 25-yd. backstroke, and Coates was the winner in the 50-yd. free-style. the Rockies. The Wolverines have1 never been able to gain better than a split in previous series in Colo- rado. These games are especially vital to Michigan, for a win is worth two1 points in the standings. The league ruling on such matters is that when teams meet only twice in a season, the winner will be award-; ed two points for a win. When teams play each other four times, a win is good for only one point.j A 16 man squaw left Ann Arbor yesterday to represent the Wol-' verines. Included was sophomore. forward John Hutton, whose elig- ibility was still "up in the air" as the team left. Hopes to Clear Hutton Hutton, who plays on the first line with Tom Rendall and Don McIntosh, sat out Saturday night's game with McGill because of the matter. Coach Vic Heyliger hopes to have txie situation cleared up by game time tonight. The question as to Hutton's elig- ibility stems from a league ruling governing the number of years of eligibility a player has in- respect to the years he has played organ- ized hockey out of the United States after his nineteenth birth- day. Tigers Present New Faces Michigan will be facing an al-' most entirely new team at Colo- rado Springs tonight. Among the few veterans returning are Capt. Dom Wishart, a defenseman and forwards Bunt Hubchik and John- ny Andrews. Coach Vic Heyligei expects the competition to be as tough as ever against Colorado College. The Michigan coach was pleased with nir players' performance in the third period of the McGill game, when the Wolverines scored four times to lock up the contest. He indicated that the team can- not afford to play the sloppy brand of hockey they exhibited in the first two periods if they expect to do well in league play. Track Squad To Perform This Evening The 1956 version of Michigan's indoor track squad will receive its official unveiling tonight in an intra-squad meet to be held in Yost Field House beginning at 7:30 p.m. In the meet, which is open to the public, a team composed of freshmen and sophomores will take on a squad made up of the junior and senior cindermen. Almost all of the regular indoor events will be run, with the ex- ception of the mile, two mile and 1,000 yd. runs. One of the evening's top attrac- tions will be the shot put. So far Capt. Dave Owen has been exceed- ing the distances which won for him the indoor and outdoors championships last year. He could establish a new Conference record this season.

Besides the Wolverines, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan State have top-flight squads this season, while the remaining six teams are not of a caliber to bother any of the title-contenders. This is the way that Michigan's coach Newt Loken views the 1957 Conference picture. His judgement is based on the performance of the Big Ten teams at the Midwest Open meet in Chi- cago, Dec. 1, when the Wolverines placed fourth behind Illinois, Iowa and Florida State, with Michigan State taking fifth. Michigan was way behind the Illini and Hawkeyes in point-total, but was participating without' three key men. Ed Gagnier, a brilliant gymnast who scored more than half of Michigan's dual-meet points last season as a sophomore, was absent from the Midwest Open because of Olympic competition in Mel- bourne, Australia. He is back from the Olympics now, but won't com- pete for the Wolverines until next semester. Two other men missing compe- tition at the Midwest Open were trampolinists Dick Kimball and Frank Newman. Kimball was busy taking first place in diving com- petition in the Michigan Gala Swim Meet, while Newman suf- IN NFL'S WESTERN DIVISION: Bears Crush Lions 38-21 to Annex Pro Grid Title fered a sprained ankle in practice the week before the meet. 'M' Would Have Been Better If these three men could have competed, Laken felt that Michi-1 gan would have a good chance of upsetting Illinois or Iowa. Certain- ly they would have placed well ahead of Florida State. Wolverine points were earned in the Midwest Open by four top competitors, co-captains Wayne Warren and Nick Wiese; and soph- omores Jim Hayslett and Ed Cole. Bars, Horse and Rings Warren's top events are the parallel bars and side horse, while Wiese enjoys the rings, and is ver- satile enough to compete in the all-around event. Hayslett has shown well in the free exercise, parallel bars, and took a very fine fifth place in the Midwest Open all-around competition -- against the top competition in the country. Cole is a trampoline man, and has made great progress this year, as exhibited by his fifth in the Midwest Open. Loken hopes that he has that depth in a large group of sopho- mores that are making bids for varsity competition. Besides Hays- lett and Cole, new members of the team this winter include Newman, Phil Noggle, and Chuck Clarkson. Armstrong Is Other Senior The only senior other than the captains is Bob Armstrong, while juniors include Kimball and Gag- nier. Both Illinois and Iowa have power-packed outfits, and will pro- vide rough competition as they did last year, when Michigan placed second to Illinois in the finals with Iowa third. Snap Win Streak CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Illi- nois ended San Fran cisco's re- cord basketball string of 60 straight victories by toppling the Dons 62-33 last night. Illinois, rated a top contender for the Big Ten championship, didn't give the two-time NCAA champions a chance. San Francisco didn't even look good as Illinois pounded to a 31-15 halftime lead and sewed up the contest for all intents and purposes. In other games involving Big Ten teams, Iowa beat Loyola of South, 80-65; Nebraska 65, Pur- due 62; and Butler 83, Michigan State 79 in overtime. Olympic Star May Choose To Study Here! INDIANAPOLIS UP)-Frank Mc- Kinney Jr., 18-year-old Indian- apolis high school senior who placed third in the 100-meter backstroke at the Olympics, said yesterday he will go to college either at Michigan, Indiana or Notre Dame. McKinney, who holds the world record of 2:23 in the non-Olympic backstroke distance of 200 yards, finished a surprise third behind two Australians in the Olympic 200. a e- HAPPY HOLIDAY Come in for a Hair style when you return. 715 N University r _ __*_ _ .." Ksramer was outszanaing on ae- fense all night and, with a few more games under his belt, should lend the offensive boostwhich he provided last season when he led the squad in scoring. Praises Guards Perigo also praised the guards- Billy Wright and Lee (who started at forward and moved back later) -for their accuracy from outside, which opened up the middle for drive-ins. Although admitting that the cagers were a bit sloppy, especially in the first half, Perigo was most pleased with the triumph, ex- pressing the opinion that there is "no better ball-handling club in the country" than the Bulldogs. "They lack the big man," he added' in sizing up their main weakness. New Rule Invoked A new Big Ten rule was put into effect Saturday. The first six times a team is fouled in each half, it will have only one free throw, un- less the man was fouled in the act of shooting, when he will be given the traditional two. After the first six violations, the one-and-ope rule will apply (ex- cept when the man was fouled in the act of shooting) and if the first shot is made, a second will be awarded. Hit on Free Throws The Wolverines hit exceptionally in By PETE MARUDAS " In a wild, fist swinging, con- troversial game Sunday, the Chi- cago Bears won their first West- ern Division championship since 1946 by trouncing the Detroit Lions, 38-21. The Bears thus earned the right to meet the New York Giants, Eastern Division titlists, on Dec. 30, at Yankee Stadium, New York, for the pro football championship. The combination of a powerful Bear defense, coupled with a smooth working offense, proved too much for the visiting Lions. Detroit's attack was bogged down in the second quarter when quar- terback Bobby Layne had to leave the game with a head injury.

Y To Workout InCalifornia PASADENA, Calif. (A)-Iowa's football team took its initial work- out beneath California's sunny skies yesterday and, after weeks of cold weather in the midwest, the lads seemed to enjoy the outing. Coach Forest Evashevski's crew held morning and afternoon drills. There was no scrimmage. Oregon State will not arrive on the Rose Bowl scene until late today, but Coach Tommy Pro- thro had the Beavers busy at Cor- vallis. Representatives of both bowl teams were guests of Southern California football writers at a luncheon yesterday. A poll of football writers, sev- eral from Big Ten country, fa- vored Iowa to win, 58 to 30, with two predicting a tie. The point spread averaged 8.8 for the Hawks. The Seldom Seen Kids, paced by Jack Watson, captured the I-M independents dual hand- ball championship by downing Evans Scholars 3-0 last night. to Gene Gedman, but then was brought down by Chicago's de- fensive end, Ed Meadows. This action served as the spark1 that ignited the fire, for from this point on tackling became extra- P arker Hints, At .Resigning DETROIT (A)-Striking out at what he called "a disastrous trend that is making pro football a slug- ging match," Buddy Parker last night threatened to resign as coach of the Detroit Lions. His action stemmed from an in- jury to Bobby Layne, Lion quarter- back, in the 38-21 loss to the Chi- cago Bears on Sunday. Parker claims the game has "gotten far out of hand because of deliberate and flagrant infractions." Lion President Edwin J. Ander- son, meanwhile, has asked Nation- al Football League Commissioner Bert Bell to ban Chicago player Ed Meadows from pro football for life. It was Meadows who tackled Layne on the .play in which he! was injured. In Philadelphia, Bell said he has talked to officials of the game and they had reported they had seen 'Meadows do nothing illegal. Bell rebuked the Lions for what he termed an "unwarranted attack on Meadows without proof." "The Lions have no right to crucify this kid, no right to talk about banning him from the game, unless they have real proof that he was guilty of an illegal act." vicious on both sides and fighting broke out on several occasions dur- ing the second half. But the Bears, wno lost out last year to Los Angeles on the last day of the season, were not to be denied. Dominating play through- out the entire game, they hardly resembled the team that was de- feated by the Lions 42-10 two weeks ago. Executing their offensive pat- terns with precision-like workman- ship, time after time Chicago made deep penetrations into Lions terri- tory. Paced by the hard running of fullback Rick Casares and the steady passing or Ed Brown to Harlon Hill, they easily drove through the befuddled and disorg- anized Lion defenders. Casares Gains Individual Honor The Bears gained 307 yards on the ground and added 137 more through the air, for a total of 444, more than twice the output of the Lions. Casares alone ripped off 190 yards and in the process captured the league ground gaining champ- ionship. Throughout the game, Lion quarterback Harry Gilmer, who replaced Layne, was harrassed by the big-Bear line, which played the greater part of the game in the Lion backfield. Trailing 17-7 at halftime, the Lions surged back early in the third quarter, but were no match for the inspired Bears. Cards Batter Browns In other NFL games, the Chi- cago Cardinals gained the runner- up spot on the Eastern Division by beating the Cleveland Browns, 24- 7. The loss gave the Browns a 5-7 won-lost mark and their first losing season in history. San Francisco ripped the Balti- more Colts, 30-17, Los Angeles de- feated Green Bay, 49-21, and Pitts- burgh shut out Washington, 23-0 in other action. The Giants wrapped up their title on Saturday afternoon by de- feating Philadelphia, 21-7. I I I For Him..
