Five Key Men Give'Depth Needed for M' Tank Win Iowa Coach Closes Out Career Armbruster Lauded; Stager Wins Meet The 48th Big Ten swimming championships ended with Michi- gan taking its 17th conference conference title. As a team, the Wolverines dom- inated the meet, but to the swim- mers and coaches involved, this year's meet will always belong to one man - Iowa's David L. Arm- bruster. This was Armbruster's last meet as ,a swimming coach. After 42 years as the first and only Iowa coach, he finally decided to retire. Closes Career While it was the last for Arm- bruster, it was a great first win for Michigan's young coaches, Gus Stager and Bruce Harlan. It was their first Big Ten crown since becoming Wolverine coaches four years ago. Stager and Harlan came on the scene after the retirement of Michigan's great coach, Matt Mann, who had developed the Wolverines into a national power during -his long reign. One thing, however, that diving coach Harlan was unable to do this year was to unseat Ohio State as diving, champions. Mike Peppe, coach at OSU saw his divers win the title for the 22nd time in 23 years. Harper Still King Don Harper, retained his title as 'king of the divers' as he won both the one and three meter championship with t e a m m a t e Glen Whitten placing second. Dick Kimball of Michigan fin- ished third in both events and the Wolverines' Alvaro Gaxiola registered a fifth place finish in the three meter diving. Kimball and Ted Reissing were Michigan's co-captains for the meet since regular captain Don Adamski was ineligible. Armbruster felt that his last meet was the best Big Ten meet. "This is one of the greatest Big Ten meets held, competition has been so tight and close that no event has actually been consid- ered safe for any team," he ob- served. "Even in diving, Ohio State has been challenged more closely than ever before," he - added. NBA Score Cincinnati 122, St. Louis 84 College Scores Tennessee St. 133, N.

Iowa's Dave Gunther, the No. 3 scorer with 291 points, barely missed making the first unit but topped the second team which also included Wilson Eison of Purdue; M. C. Burton, Michigan; Joe Ruk- lick, Northwestern, and Bob An- deregg, Michigan State. Kline finished second to Dees with 322 points and Ohl was fourth with 295. Green was seventh with 262 and Howard, who tallied 204 points, was third in rebounds with 197.

NCAA Begins Cage Tourney At Two Sites By The Associated Press West Virginia, whose 26-1 record is best in the country, and Mary- land, giant-killer of the Atlantic Coast Conference, help open the NCAA basketball tournament to- night. The West Virginians play Man- hattan and Maryland opposes Bos- ton College in two-thirds of a triple-header at New York's Madi- son Square Garden. The other game sends Dart- mouth's Ivy League champions against Connecticut. At Evanston, Ill., tonight Miami of Ohio plays Pittsburgh and Tennessee Tech meets Notre Dame. These winners go to Lexington where Kentucky will face the Pitt-Miami victor and Indiana will take on the Notre Dame- Tennessee Tech survivor. By SI COLEMAN Michigan's hockey team came away from Houghton with another split-its fifth of the season. The Wolverines won Friday's game, 3-1, but Michigan Tech re- versed its playing form to take a 4-3 verdict Saturday night. Sunday morning while the team waited in a little wooden shack known as the Houghton Airport for the plane to carry it back to Ann Arbor, Bobby Watt was elect- ed captain of next year's squad. Has Looked Impressive The amiable sophomore from Barrie, Ont., made quite an im- pression on local hockey fans in, his first varsity season. He was one of three new defensemen on! the squad this year. Watt, who usually teamed with Warren Wills, showed he was most effective in poke checking. On many occasions Watt took the center position on an offensive' drive where he proved he can also move the puck quite well.' DENVER, NODAKS IN NCAA'S: Icers Vote Watt Captain for 1958-59 BOBBIE WATT .., chosen new captain Watt will be the first junior to serve as captain since Bill Mac- Farland in 1954. Limelight Focused The WIHL limelight over the weekend was centered on Min- neapolis and Denver. Three of the four teams playing in these two cities were in contention for the two Western playoff positions in the NCAA tournament. At Denver, North Dakota gained a split with the Pioneers, assuring it of one of the spots. At Minneapolis, Colorado had to win one of the two games to edge out Denver for the other spot, but it failed. Thus Denver and the Nodaks will represent the West in the playoffs to be held Thursday- Saturday of this week. Encouraging Notes At Houghton, several encourag- ing signs were evident for next year. The Wolverines looked better than at any other time this year. After Saturday's game, one of the referees casually observed, "I don't understand how Michigan is in sixth position the way it played this weekend." - This statement indicates just how good the Wolverines looked. Cooley, Van Tyne Win; Gain Berths in 'A' Finals 4 By MEL ROSEN Victories by Cooley and Van Tyne houses in the first place semi-finals of the I-M A' resi- dence house basketball league last night set the stage for the final round of games to take place next Monday and,'Thursday. Cooley trounced Greene 48-25 and Van Tyne overwhelmed Strauss by an almost identical margin 44-22. They will vie for the championship next Thursday night. Cooley's high (scoring duo of. Ken Gnewuch and Kim Greene were too much for Green's porous defense as they combined to score 30 points. Greene, who hit for 16 was closely followed for game scoring honors by Gnewuch who had 14. Increase Small Lead Although Van Tyne had only a small four point lead at the start of the third quarter they continu- ously added to their score in the last half to ultimately win by 22 points. Reid Bushong led the way for Van Tyne with 17 points. In 'A' second place semi-finals Michigan downed Huber 42-32. Scoring honors went to Earl Nuechterlein of Michigan house who connected for 17 points. Also in 'A' second place semi-final play Anderson defeated Adams 33-31.

" 11 BARBERS * NO WAITING The Baseola Barbers near Michigan Tbeatre See "MELODY ON ICE" We Cater to Wheels By CARL RISEMAN Team spirit and cooperation were the main reasons for Michi- gan winning the Big Ten swim- ming championship Saturday eve- ping. No one individual was responsi- ble for the victory. As Coach Gus Stager put it, "It was the most amazing team performance I've ever seep." Tony Tashnick, Cy Hopkins and Dick Hanley combined for seven of the Wolverine's eight first places, but in the Big Ten meet, the winning team needs to have depth, it needs to be able to place several men in every race. This Michigan was able to do. Pete Fries, Ed Pongracz, Carl Woolley, Al Maten and John Smith were unable to gain first places, but their second, third, four th and fifth place finishes all added points to the Michigan total. Woolley recorded two seconds and a third. In both the grueling 1500-meter freestyle and also the 440-yd. freestyle he finished be- hind MSU's Billy Steuart. He also finished third behind teammate Hanley who won the 220-yd. free- style. Smith's two second places in the 100 and 200-yd. backstroke gave Michigan key points. Both times Iowa Captain Lincoln Hurring won, but Smith stayed close to the two-time NCAA winner. Smith also swam the backstroke on the MAWINTOURS /1958 ADVENTURE! EDUCATION TRAVEL!

Fries placed in his three events, the 1500-meters, the 440-yd. free- style and the 220-yd. freestyle. In both the 1500-meter and the 440 he recorded the fastest times of his career. Stager was pleased with the performance of Maten and Pon- gracz. Both men were on the winning, 400-yd. medley relay team. Maten also finished fourth in the 100-yd. breaststroke and sixth in the 200-yd. breaststroke. Sophomore Tashnick, who wasn't even regarded at the be- ginning of the season, was the individual star of the entire meet. He captured three firsts: the 100- and 200-yd. butterfly and the indi- vidual medley. Tashnick, who broke the NCAA record set by Yale's Tim Jecko in the 200-yd. butterfly, will face Jecko in three weeks in the NCAA meet. Hanley and Hopkins each won two races. Stager regards them as the two toughest swimmers in collegiate circles. "By the second day of the meet," stated Stager, "both swimmers had completely demoralized our oppo- sition." GIRLS ARE FUN!
