LUCK O' THE IRISH:
Delany Sets Mile Mark for St. Patric

By JiM BENAGH


SPEEDY IRISHMAN-Ron Delany (center), who ran the world's
fastest indooir mile in Chicago on Friday, poses with two Sham-
rock track stars at the European Athletic Championships held
in Berne, Switzerland, in 1954. On his right is the Wolverine track
captain, Brendan O'Reilly (left), and on his left, Eamonn Kinsella,
a hurdler on the Irish 1956 Olympic team.
Denver Romps Nodaks
To Win NCAA Ice Title

It took a "little bit o' luck" and
a lot of Shamrock encouragement,
but Villanova's and Ireland's Ron
Delany decided for once to run for
a record - and was successful.*
Delany, a senior at the Pennsyl-
vania school, let loose at the Chi-
cago Daily News Relays for a
world indoor mile record of 4:03.4
Friday evening.
Michigan track captain, Bren-
dan O'Reilly, a long time friend
of the record breaker, was one of
the happiest to see the popular
Delany change his usual theory
on running, which is just "run to
win."
Irish Incentive
"With the St. Patrick's Day fes-
tivities near and this being one of
Ronnie's- last meets in America, a'
lot of Irish workers from Detroit
and Chicago and I myself tried to
encourage him on," said O'Reilly,
who was at the meet.
The "little bit of luck" came"
about when the new champion
failed to hear the ,time when
yelled out to him after the three-
quarter mark.
After the three-quarter mark,"
Delany recalled to O'Reilly later,
"I felt good so I just ran as hard
as I could. If I had heard the time,
I might have coasted."
O'Reilly and Delany have been
close friends since 1953 when they
met through a track meet in na-
tive Ireland.
'M' Missed Chance
"Delany would have come to
Michigan," noted the Wolverine
leader, "if he hadn't been ap-
proached by Fred Dwyer, an ex-

Villanova runner a week before
Michigan contacted him."
Delany's opposition to record-
running dates back to when his
Irish coach Jack Sweeney ad-
vised him against it because of
his age at the time. But the slend-
er Olympic winner has held the
philosophy since.
O'Reilly j also recalled what a
coach once said of Delany when
he was young: "He looks like
he'll have a lot of stamina,, but
with that upright, mechanical
style he won't be great."

and Confused"

Michigan's luck at Chic
couldn't match that of the I
lanovan. O'Reilly missed the pl
from Ann Arbor by 10 seco
and got to Chicago too late
compete.

-MINNEAPOLIS (M) - Packing
three goals into a period of four
minutes, Denver, playing super-
charged hockey, flattened North
Dakota 6-2 last night and brought
the Pioneers their first NCAA
hockey title in history.
Denver and the Nodaks topped
the WIHL in season play and
easily defeated the Eastern repre-
sentatives, Clarkson and Harvard,
in the first round of the national
championships.
In the consolation finals of the
ice contest, Clarkson College rolled
over Harvard, 5-1. Chunk Bob Van
Hockey Coaches
Find No Solution
ST. PAULrMinn. 0P) -- West-
ern hockey coaches broke up four
days of huddling and haggling
yesterday amid confusion even
greater than when they started.
They failed to reach any sem-
blance of solution to the section's
two prime problems - conflicts
in the eligibility of Canadian im-
ports and what to do about a re-
placement for the Western Inter-
collegiate Hockey League.
Formal dissolution of the WIHL
was the only solid piece of busi-
ness Western coaches could agree
on. They decided on a meeting
this May to see if there is any
basis for forming any new West-
ern hockey association.
Left up in the air was the mat-
ter of scheduling, especially in-+
volving Colorado College and
Denver. The two Far Western
schools may wind up with no Big
Ten opponents next season. They
have borne the brunt of accusa-
tions by the three Big Ten schools
in the league that recruiting of
experienced Canadian players has
gone beyond reasonable bounds.

Lammers fired four goals, one
short of the tournament record, to
spark the Clarkson win.
This is the first year since the
origination of the hockey tourna-
ment in the late 1940's that Michi-
gan hasn't been in at least the
semifinals. All but three years,
twice when they were beaten in
the semis and once in the finals,
the Wolverines emerged NCAA
champions.
