WWAWt Myers Wins 1500- Meter in National Swim Meet cede from the SIDSELINES by Dick Cramer Who Plays Michigan ? 1T'S NO accident that Michigan's annual sports schedules include a wide variety of opponents. A school with as great and as honorable a sports reputation as Michigan has no trouble finding a vast number of other schools eager to meet its teams in athletics. Our Athletic Department doesn't usually have to look for oppo- sition. But its job is still sometimes formidable when it must choose rom the many schools who want to play us. Actually, the individual coaches do their own scheduling - and they have a lot of latitude in making decisions - but they are supposed to base their choices on how well prospective foes satisfy certain unwritten policy require- ments: 1. Basic Big Ten membership responsibilities must be met. 2. No athletic contest may be scheduled that will cause the use of any Michigan player to be curtailed; nor may a player be subjected to any discrimination. 3. Michigan's participation in sports events should be for the primary purpose of developing both individual and team capabili- ties . 4. The interests of non-participating students and alumni should be considered in any scheduling program. Football is the main concern of the first stipulation. The Confer- esice has confined its scheduling authority mainly to this sport. It has ruled that only nine regular-season games may be played and at least six of these must be within the Big Ten. Moreover, every school is guaranteed at least two home Conference tilts. WTITH ITS large number of traditional rivals, Michigan has felt * obligated in recent years to play seven Conference games in order to do its share in providing other schools with enough opponents. This leaves only two openings on the slate. And much delibera- tion often precedes their being filled. A main consideration here is the many alumni in far-flung ci- ties that long to see their college football team play. Athletic Director H. O. "Fritz" Crisler has expressed a partiality to home-and-home series with both Eastern' and Far Western The games with teams from the West Coast have been a reality nearly annually in recent years - with Washington, UCLA and Southern California. But there has been some diffi- culty in getting home-and-home L w' agreements with Eastern schools. The Ivy League has withdrawn MICHIGAN STADIUM pretty much to itself and Army- who gets to play here a big rival of Michigan switched its game to Ann Arbor the last time the Wolverines were scheduled to play in New York in Yankee Stadium. When the East and West do not satisfactorily complete Michigan's schedule, we turn to other areas. A team like Georgia is scheduled, but only under that second policy stipulation - with the agreement that Michigan players may be used and will not suffer discrimination. 1 Until some Southern citizens and politicians curb their prejudice, our football games with Southern foes will all be played in Ann Arbor. This is the only way we can assure ourselves that our Negro athletes are not inconvenienced in housing and in general treatment when away from home. Fortunately, Michigan's baseball team has been able to have its traditional Southern tour without any prejudice problems. This is probably because baseball isn't as big news on the college level. The press doesn't make such an issue of interracial baseball over most of the South and intolerance isn't fanned. The third scheduling guide applies most directly to our basket- ball and track teams. It explains why Michigan has often shied away from early-season basketball tournaments that seem to be quite the s fad nowadays. Of Questionable Value .. . THESE TOURNAMENTS, with their game-per-day schedules, dons x serve the function that early season games are supposed to do. They don't give the team time to profit from one game's experience before the next one comes along. Michigan's absence from New York's Madison Square Garden invitational track meets is also explained by the third stipulation. These meets single out only the stars. The aim of developing teams- served at such other meets as the Penn Relays where a large contin- gent can be taken - is neglected in these invitational meets. That final point of policy - satisfying students and alumni - has been obviously adhered to, at least as far as the students are concerned. While New York alumni may see less of their alma mater's representatives than they might like, we in Ann Arbor have thor- oughly enjoyed our large share of home athletic events against in- teresting opponents from the Ivy League's Yale (in basketball) and the West Coast's UCLA (in football) to Canada's Etobocoke Swim Club and our great Big Ten rivals. Yale Leads Michigan, 9-7; Fries CapturesSixthPlace A1 Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta Share I-M Social Fraternity Indoor Track Title Special to The Daily CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-Fritz My- ers got the Michigan swimming contingent off to a good start in its bid for the NCAA title by cap- turing the 1500-meter event last night. Also swimming an exceptionally fine race was Pete Fries who gained a sixth place for the Wol- verines. Final Appearance Myers, who is making his final appearance for the Maize and Blue in this meet, trailed Yale's Raymond Ellison for over half the race. But at the 30-length mark, Myers began to close the gap, fin- ally succeeding by the 44-length mark. Ellison spurted ahead once more six lengths later, but the Michigan senior kept pressing him. Close Finish Myers caught the Yale swimmer once again at the 62-length mark and from this point it was a race to the wire with Myers finishing ahead in 19:04.8. Ellison was checked in at 10:09.5. Another Yale swimmer finished third, and this 2-3 finish gave the Bulldogs a 9-7 edge over second- place Michigan at the end of the first day of the meet. "In There Digging" Myers commented immediately after the race that "down the wire I couldn't remember what hap- pened. All I know is that my arms were in there digging." His time tied a pool record at North Carolina which was set in last year's finals. With this excellent moral as well as physical start, the Wolverines now stand a better chance than ever of upsetting the pre-tourney favorite, Yale. Job Well Done 1500-METER EVENT: 1 Myers (M) 19:04:8; 2 Ellison (Yale) 19:09.5; 3 Robinson (Yale) 19.32.5; 4 Johnson (Texas) 19:33.6; 5 Bell- she (Denver) 19:42.4; 6 Fries (M) 19:52.1. By DAVE LYON Terry Miller took a first in the high jump and a second in the 60-yd. dash to help Phi Delta Theta tie Sigma Chi for first place honors in the I-M social fraternity track meet last night. Both squads showed strength and depth in piling up 15 points each. Phi Delta Theta scored, points in six of the nine events and Sigma Chi placed in five.' Alpha Tau Omega finished third with 13.

Miller scraped across the high- jump bar at 5'9" and finished a close second to ATO's Charles Gunn in the 60-yd. dash to account for more than half of Phi Delta Theta's points. Gunn ran the course in :6.7. Other winners included Terry Barr, :56.7 in the quarter-mile; Leigh Corby, :09. in the 65-yard high hurdles; Bill Green, 40'5" in the shot put; and Dick Friedmar, 19'7%" in the broad jump. I-M WINNER - Leigh Corby of Beta Theta Pi strains in his winning effort in the 65-yd. high hurdles of the social fraternity meet last night. I U PRO FRATERNITY: IJSD Wains Swim Meet Not everyone con have one! The water was just right in the I-M pool last night for Delta Sig- ma Delta to win the professional fraternity swimming meet. The Delta Sigma Delta's splashed past last year's winners, Nu Sigma Nu, 24-18 , after the latter got off to a good start. Nu Sigma Nu won the 200-yd. freestyle relay and their man Bur- well "Bumpy" Jones won the 200- yd. freestyle. Jones also came in a close second in the 50-yd. breast stroke. The Delta Sigma Delta men won the 50-yd. breast stroke and the 100-yd. freestyle. Mike Delaney and Jack Beattie took the honors. The 150-yd. medley team of Jim Oosting, Delaney, and Bob Knox copped another first for the Del- tas. The new diving event proved to be the most interesting and by far the most humorous of the eve- ning. The best diver was Jones of Delta Sigma Delta. His 113.1 points almost doubled that of his nearest rival.

Aroused by the stinging criti- cism that followed~ their loss Tues- day night ani by the first period injury to their goalie Glenn Hall, the Red Wings skated furiously in their most aggressive play of the season. Howe Top Scorer Gordie Howe, the National Hock- ey League's leading scorer, scored one goal and assisted on two oth- ers as the Wings rammed shot af- ter shot past rookie goalie Don Simmons who had held them to one goal in the opener. With Hall-despite a first per- iod -ut across his upper lip that required 18 stitches to close- turning back one Bruin rush af- ter another' with catlike move- ments in the net, the Detroit club beat Boston at its own hard-charg- ing style of play. * * * Rangers Win NEW YORK (A)-In the other NHL playoff at New York, Andy Hebenton's dramatic goal at 13:88 of a sudden death overtime period gave the New York Rangers a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Cana- diens to even their series at one game apiece.
