WITH DAVE GREY Traditional Slow Start SLOW STARTS for the Michigan hockey team seem to be as muchE of a tradition as the sport itself in-Ann Arbor. This year is no exception, especially for Michigan seniors, who for the last four hockey seasons have watched Vic Heyliger's squads struggle to win their early-season games. History has told us many times that Michigan has been able to recover every year to make the NCAA playoffs each March at Colorado Springs. In fact, in nine years of the playoffs Michigan has never missed attending. And six times the Wolverines have returned as national collegiate champions.I Why then- is Michigan again in ice turned to hot water as it strives to finish at least second in the Western Intercollegiate Hockey League standings and gain the familiar playoff berth? Onemain reason is that in the past few years the WIHL has been~ gaining in overall strength. Wit- ness the rise of Michigan Tech to a hockey power. While Minnesota has lost some of its long time dominance.

The powerful 200-pounder from Pittsburgh, Pa., smashed over for two touchdowns in the fourth per- iod. He set up the first Rebel score in the opening period with a brilliant exhibition of hard run- ning. Del Shofner of Baylor carried over from the three for the South's first period tally. The North drew first blood in the opening quarter on sharp pass- ing of Len Dawson, Purdue's great quarterback. The score came on a 14-yard toss to Terry Barr of Michigan.

Michigan jumped to an early 6-2 lead but soon lost it and with ten minutes left in the first half the Hoosiers had pulled way in front of the Wolverine cagers, 22-9. At half-time. Michigan closed the gap to 34-28. II No Accuracy The Wolverines had control of the backboards in the first half but shooting, both from the floor and from the free-throw line, was weak. Michigan emerged from the locker room after half-time and went on to play a much improved game. On three buckets by Ron Kramer and a field goal by George Lee, the Wolverine quintet brought the game to a 38-38 tie after four minutes of play. Thoughout the second half, the two squads tied eight times and scoring seesawed back and forth. With just three minutes left in the game, the Wolverines took a 63'-62 lead. Robin~soni Says,' 'I'm Too Old'; Quits Baseball NEW YORK (A')-Jackie Robin- son, writing in a first-person, copyrighted story to appear in next Tuesday's issue of Look Maga- zine says he is "quitting baseball for good" because "I have to think of the future and the security of my family." Robinson, who broke baseball's! color line and became one of the game's greatest stars with the Brooklyn Dodgers, said he reached his decision before being traded to the New York Giants by the Brooks last Dec. 13. In the Look article, titled "Why I'm Quitting Baseball," Jackie said "I couldn't tell Mr. (Horace) Stoneham (owner of the Giants) I was through with baseball for- ever because I had agreed long ago to write this story-when the time came-exclusively for Look. And as a matter of fact, I was working on the story when Mr. Stoneham called" to tell him of the trade. "I'm quitting baseball for good," Robinson writes, "and there shouldn't be any mystery about my reasons. I'm 38 years old with a family to support. I've got to think of the future and our secur- ity." Robinson, who broke into base- ball with the Dodgers' minor league farm club at Montreal in 1946, added: "At my age a man doesn't have much future in baseball and very little security." In an effort to gain control of the ball. Michigan foul.ed and Indiana capitalized on the free throws..After gaining control of the ball. Jim Shearon and, Pete Tillotson each hit once but once again the Wolverines fouled and the Hoosiers made their free throws good. Holding a 71-68 lead in the last few seconds of the game, In- diana stamped the seal of victory on the game as 6' 8" center Arnie Dees let go a shot that swished the net just as the buzzer sounded to boost his .game total of points scored to 26. Kramer was high scorer for the Maize and Blue with 22, sophomore guard Jack Lewis hit ,'for 13 points, followed by Tillotson who scored 12. Face MSU Tomorrow, Michigan hit from the free throw line only 46 percent of the time, while the Hoosiers were clipping along at a 76 per cent pace. Indiana's Neal scored five of his 22 points in the last three minutes of the contest and hit eight out of nine charity tosses throughout the game. The Michigan cagers will travel to East Lansing tomorrow to play their second Big Ten tilt of the season against the Spartans. -/ HAND-IN-HAND with being a champion, too, is that the law of averages is bound to catch up with you . . . sometime. Add to this a hindering leg injury to goalie Lorne Howes and a couple of tough losses out West and you have the story of another rugged start. There is also the possibility that Howes may be able to graduate at the end of this semester. Does this look like Michigan's year to be in trouble? The Wolver- ines already are. To compensate for the six points lost in the League standings, another very strong finish is going to be a must. AlsoI the other leading teams are going to have to knock each other off at the right time. It has happened before. For the traditional chain not to be broken it is going to have to happen again. The return in February of forward Wally Maxwell and defenseman Mike Buchanan plus the possible eligibility of first semester sophomores that Heyliger may want to use should strengthen, a few links for the long pull ahead. Relay breaking a Big Ten record. Fred Mowery, Cy Hopkins, and Fritz Meyers teamed up to chop 12.4 seconds off the old record with a time of 3:00.5 in the 300 yard individual medley relay. Edging out Ohio State was no easy job for divers; John Narcy and Dick Kimball, because the Buckeyes had Glenn Whitten, who finished third in the Olym- pics, back in action. The diving score was: Michigan 363.25, Ohio State 361.23. Michigan State edged the Wol- verines in the 400 yard free style relay, the last and closest of the What Else!

DAVE OWEN i i 1 -' _ W. -- - By BOB BOLTON If you are captain of a football' team you discuss rules with offi- cialsrand call the flip of a coin before the game. If you are captain of a hockey team you talk over penalties with' the referees. But what do you do if you are captain of a track team?' A Helping Hand' If you are Dave Owen. the cur- rent Michigan track captain, for one thing you throw a 16-lb. lead ball as far as anyone in the history' of the school--maybe even a bit farther. For another you are al- ways around to lend a helping hand to the younger team mem- bers who participate in the shot' put, an event which combines brute power and smooth coordination. The rest of your duties as cap-I tain of the Michigan cindermen are intangibles-they are hard to' define. It is your job to lead. to inspire in your teammates the qualities which have made you Big Ten indoor and outdoor titlist four straight times. The above duties might very_ well be beyond the capabilities of the ordinary trackman but Dave Owen is far from the ordinary. Hard Work, Determination Michigan track Coach Don Can- ham sums up his star this way "He is just a tremendous guy and Whatever success he has is strictly due to his own hard work and determination." Hard work and determination is the story of Dave Owen. Since September the 20-yr.-old senior has spent about 16 hours a week down at Yost Field House. DISTINCTIVE HAIRSTYLING FOR COLLEGIJANS:! " 11 TONSORIAL ARTISTS 0 NO WAITING Sometimes he lifts weights toi strengthen his body but most of the time he stands in a circle that is seven feet in diameter. Once in the circle Dave seems to be com- pletely wrapped in a world of his own. An Old Friend He tucks the shot under his chin, almost tenderly as if it were an old friend. Then his face locks with tension, his muscles bulgeI with strain, he spins half way{ around, takes one lunging step and lets the shot go. The distance he throws the shot never fails to impress spectators. With twomonths still remaining before the Conference 'indoor championships Owen has already thrown over 57' to break the exist- ing Field House mark. Charley Fonville, who set the old mark for Michigan back in 1948, has remarked that Owen has ,the potential to throw at least two feet farther. With a little improve- ment Owen could probably reach 60'. Magic Distance Sixty feet. the magic distance which all shot putters strive but during the history of the ex only three have managed to rea Canham thinks Dave will beco the fourth, maybe this year. And even if Owen doesn't rep the "distance" this year there always the future. Dave still1 a lot of good throws left before tucks his shot away. After graduation there is1 armed forces and then there isc other dream besides the 60' sl Dave would like to make c( true, and that is Rome andi Olympics in 1960. Determination and skill make a lot of dreams come tr Dave Owen has both. r: r This Week In Sports Monday, January 7 BASKETBALL-Michigan State-There Tuesday, January 8 HOCKEY-Michigan State-There Friday, January 1 HOCKEY-Michigan Tech-There GYMNASTICS-Wisconsin-There WRESTLING-Indiana-I-M Building-3:00 p.m. Saturday, January 12 HOCKEY-Michigan Tech-There SWIMMING-Purdue-There GYMNASTICS-Minnesota-There WRESTLING-Northwestern-I-M Building-3:00 p.m. BASKETBALL-Northwestern-Yost Field House-8:00 p.m. Purdue Downs MSU EAST LANSING, Mich.-Charlie Kehrt dumped in the winning bas- ket with 12 seconds remaining to. end a tense exchange of one-point leads last night and give Purdue a 72-71 victory over Michigan State. * * * Ohio Easy Winner IOWA CITY, Iowa-Frank How- ard's 24 points led Ohio State to an easy 72-60 victory over a young Iowa team which opened its Big Ten title defense yesterday.
