SUa.X OEN r Taylor Captures B' Cage Title I-M SPORTLIGHT .... by B.ce Bennett Bigger and Better WHEN BIGGER and better I-M Open Houses are built, Earl Riskey will build them. Riskey, who is supervisor of activities down at the Sports Build- ing, has planned another spectacular for tonight's 26th Annual Open House worthy of a DeMille. A total of 16 sports, featuring over 500 athletes and officials, is on the program which starts at 6:30 and should wind up sometime after 10. Somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 people are expected to walk, free of charge, through the doors of the Sports Building and many of them should suffer varying degrees of mental anguish in trying to decide which of the many conflicting events to watch. Originally the Open House was started to show off the new Sports Building, but now it signifies the end of the I-M winter sports season.. Individual and team championships will be decided in several sports and to add to the general festive air exhibitions by both var- sity' nen and students will be. given in other sports. In addition to the major sports such as basketball and swimming, spectatators will have a chance to observe several sports which do not have a large following on campus such as water polo and boxing, The night's top attraction seems to be a real live co-ed basketball game between Helen Newberry and Allen-Rumsey. The game will be ' played according to the girl's rules with the only catch being that the men will play wearing boxing gloves. Another Allen-Rumsey team will get things rolling in the Other end of the big gymnasium when they take Williams House on in the finals of residence hall 'B' basketball at 6:30. Other cage action will feature Phi Delta. Theta against last year's champs Sigma Chi in the social fraternity 'B' playoffs, Sigma Phi Epsilon against Sigma Nu in the 'A' title clash, Wenley against Adams in 'the residence hall 'A' final, Phi Alpha Kappa against Phi Delta Phi in the professional fraternity finale, and last year's independent all year titlists the Seldom Seen Kids against Evans Scholars in the championship tilt of that division. Cold Blood and Insanity For the more cold blooded fans the residence hall water polo final between Chicago and Reeves, to take place af r the completion of swimming, should prove interesting. According to Riskey the game is less brutai than in recent years because of rules changes which prevent the offensive team from 'ganging up' on the opposing goalies. But this one change will not .'affect the fierce battles for control of the ball that constantly take 'place. One fairly battered player summed up the suicidal game in this way, "You' don't have to be crazy to play this game-it just helps." Down in the boxing room six matches are on schedule. The bouts are informal title clashes between men who have been working out all semester under the direction of- Let Philben. Philben was boxing instructor here when Michigan had a full time ring program and now he comes down on a part time basis to give instruction to those who want it. Riskey said that Philben has promised an exciting show. Next door to the boxing room members of the freshman wrestling team will put on an exhibition and in the swimming pool members of the diving team will give a show of exhibition and clown diving. Besides these varsity competitors nationally ranked handball and squash players from Detroit will play matches against student teams down In the 'pits' of the Sports Building. For those visitors who might just be more a bit confused by it all, programs listing events, participants, and titles at stake will be pro- vided. Michigan Wrestling Frosh To Compete in AAU Meets !Pill Pushers, Theta Chi, Also Gain Playoff Wins By BOB ROMANOFF Twelve championships were de- cided last night in one of the busi- est nights of intra-mural basket- ball. Taylor eked out a 23-21 victory over Reeves to annex the second place Residencehail "B" cham- pionship. The scoring was evenly spread out through both halves with the victors entering the sec- ond eighteen minutes of play on the short end of a 13-11 score. In the second half both teams traded baskets right down to the siren ending the game. Taylor, however, had just enough punch in them to outscore the game Reeves team by four points as BERNIE GIOFFRION ... scores clincher I I Montreal Nips Increases Hot TORONTO (P)-The Montreal Canadians moved into undisputed possession of second place in the National Hockey League last night by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-1. Bernie Geoffrion was the hero for Les Canadiens, the "Big Boom Boom" just beat the clock as he broke the 1-1 tie with a goal just 30 seconds before the game ended. Geoffrion's goal, the best of the night, capped an uphill battle by the Canadiens who found the Leafs hardly-resembling the team which will finish in fifth place at Toronto 2-l; d on Second their high scorer Joe DeCook hooped in eight points which gave him 13 points for the night. Bob Keavy was high for the losers with six. Close Game Independent basketball pro- duced another "heart breaker" for second place as the Pill Pushers slipped by the Christian Medical Society Juniors .24-23. A low scor- ing first half ended with the CMS Jrs. on top of a 9-8 score. Behind 24-21 with only a few seconds left CMS Jr's Bob Hall drove in for a score and then time ran out. Wes Sikkema led the vic- tors with 11 points, while Hall led both teams with 12. See-Saw Battle Third place for the Social fra- ternitie. went to Theta Chi as they out-lasted Alpha Epsilon Pi 30-27. Playing a thirdof the first half with only three men AEPI went into the last stanza of play with Theta Chi holding a com- fortable 18-10 lead. In the second half AEPi played like an entirely different team as they scored twelve straight points with their high scorer Don Mazin scoring six of his 10 points in that spree. Theta Chi was not to be denied victory as they regained their shooting eye to outfight the losers in a see-saw battle which saw the lead change hands three times. Jim Beck of Theta Chi was the game's best marksman with 13- points to his credit. "Big Red" Win Gomberg trounced Adams 39-24 to take third place in the Resi- dence Hall "B" league. The strong Gomberg team spotted Adams to a 16-13 lead in the first half and then proceeded to smear Adams in the second period as they rolled over the losers by a 26-8 margin.

But the inspired Maple Leafs, fresh from their 14-1 slaughter of the New York Rang- ers wei'e determined to battle the Canadiens down to the buzzer. Rookie forward Bob Pulford banged one past Montreal goalie Jacques Plante in the second peri- od to knot the game up 1-1. This ended the scoring until Geoffrion's game clincher. MEN!
