The members of these squads come from residence halls, fraternities and individual independents. The I-M department has set up two leagues of five teams each. earl Rickey, director of the Intra- mural activities on the campus, mentioned that if there was more playing time available at the Coli- seum there could be many more teams, because interest is high in the sport. Annual Playoffs In fact, many years ago, Riskey said that there were over fifty ,teams competing for the cham- pionship. The title winner is de- cided as in all other I-M sports; the first-place team in each league plays in a playoff for first-place championship. The only difference is that there are no all campus points awarded for the winners, or even competi- tors, in the respective divisions. There is one major problem which dominates all hockey in Ann Arbor, that is lack of skating time. According to Renfrew and Issacson, a boy to be a good hockey player must be a good skater, and actually skate night and day. But the weather in Ann Arbor is too warm for the most part of the year, and the boys just don't get the chance to build up their skating ability, and there- fore they cannot exercise profi- ciently the fundamentals that all' hopeful hockey players must mas- ter. By JIM BENAGH Michigan's surprising rebound- ing this year has been spelling the difference between a winning and losing record in Big Ten play, according to basketball coach Bill Perigo.

Larson Signs NEW YORK-Big Don Larsen, the no-hit pitcher of the 1956 World Series, has signed his 1958 contract, the New York Yankees revealed Tuesday. Stars Hold Out Twenty-five per cent of the players on major league baseball rosters, including National League home run king Hank Aaron, World Series hero Lew Burdette, and New York Yankee star Mickey Mantle, have yet to sign contracts for the 1958 season. The actual total of unsigned players is 158. The Boston Red Sox lead the pack with 19 followed by Milwaukee's champion Braves with 18. Among the other standout play- ers not in the fold are Roy Sievers of Washington, Harvey Kuenn of Detroit, Minnie Minoso of Cleve- land, Whitey Ford and Bill Skow- ron of the Yanks, Ed Bailey and Brooks Lawrence of Cincinnati, Johnny Antonelli of the San Fran- cisco Giants and Ed Mathews of the Braves. ed in only one conference game- Northwestern-when the Wolver- ines lost by 21 points. Monday they lost again, to Minnesota, but won the rebounding battle, 40-36. "It's that rebounding, and our free throws, that have kept us in the race so far," explained Perigo, who admitted the Wolverines' field goal percentage is now last in the Conference at 33.2 per cent. Burton Leads Team M. C. Burton has been the big- gest surprise in Big Ten rebound- ing. Last week's statistics showed Burton .as the Idividual leader, with Michigan topping all others in. team totals. Burton, with an average of 164 rebounds per game, headed names like Michigan State's Johnny Green (16.0), Ohio State's Frank Howard (15.6), and Indiana's Archie Dees (14.8). Secret is 'Kicking' The 6'5" forward explains his surge to the top with "kicking." "This year, I go up and come down on rebounds kick ing and booting. You have to ward off de- fenders when you come down with the ball. "I noticed this in Frank Howard last year. You still take most of your rebounds. by; getting position, though." Team Balance Teammates Pete Tillotson and George Lee ranked fifth and 12th respectively, giving Michigan the best forward wall in the league. Perigo also cited Jack Lewis, who "does pretty good from guard, get- ting six or seven a game." "Last year," Perigo said, "we had Ron Kramer in there and he was a great rebounder. But his fighting even scared some of our guys away. "This year we have the board cupped better. We get balance and weight, and Tillotson and Burton have been consistent." .fit . -Daily-wesley Kar SPRINGBOARD QUINTET-Michigan diving coach Bruce Harlan (center) instructs NCAA cham- pion Dick Kimball in performing a "pike" position while sitting on the board.

Free instructions 214 West Huron, Block West of Bus Station Phone NO 8-7470 When looking for the "hardest way" to enter the water from a diving board, competitive divers are often faced with a great choice. Each man is rated not only ac- cording to the way he performs the dive, but also the difficulty of the dive he chooses to execute. A com- petitor must select the most dif- ficult dives he can do best, if he is to succeed in championship competition. Thorough Judging In the case of each dive, the judges rate the diver on the scale of 10 points. There are three judges, and they base their scores on the takeoff, execution, and en- try into, the water of each dive performed. The scorekeeper adds up the scores the judges give for each dive, and then multiplies that total by the degree of difficulty for the dive. Each dive has a degree acredited to it, ranging between 1.0 and 3.5. - Three Positions Each dive is made up of one or a combination of three set posi- tions, which can be combined in many forms. In the tuck position, a diver is rolled up in a ball, which facilitates a large number of turns. In the pike position the body is bent only at the hips, with the hands grasping the straightened legs. The layout position is the most difficult, as it requires the diver to keep his body completely straight. Different Heights Using these positions, the com- petitors dive off different level boards in different competition. Collegiates use the one-meter, or three-foot board, while in AAU meets a one- and three-meter board is employed along with a 10-meter tower. In championship meets divers are required to execute five dives plus six optional ones from each of the required groups of forward, reverse, inward and half-twisting dives. For dual meets a diver is allowed five optional movements plus one required form. Added to all of these problems, a diver is also faced with the usual prejudices involved in subjective judging, plus the great strain gone through in perfecting the various movements. It is a rugged, but also a spec- tacular sport. Michigan's swim- ming team now boasts some of the best collegiate divers in the coun- try under the eye of diving coach Bruce Harlan. -Daily-Wesley Kar M. C.

Maley, like many other engineers, mathematicians and physicists, came to IBM directly from college. Here he tells how he put his E.E. degree to work in the exciting new field of computer development. Wtil Wha'sitlike to be with - . By CHUCK KOZOLL Earl Riskey, Michigan I-M di- rector, boasts of a triple nature- administrator, inventor, and active sportsman. As director, he handles some 36 spcts which range from touch football in the fall to baseball in the spring with bowling, wrestling, and handball added in, to mention a few. In terms of size, leagues accomodate about 180' teams in football, some 225 in basketball and 180 in volleyball. Invented Paddleball 'In terms of inventive skill, he found time early in his career at Michigan to draw up the game of paddleball. Originated in the 1930's, the game cught on during World War II when service men found it easy to learn and fun to play. Now, the game, besides being a regular feature of the I-M pro- gram, is a national sport. Besides "What really sold me," says Gerald Maley, "was the way they approach engineering at IBM. I had expected rooms full of engineers at desks. Instead, I found all the friendly informality of my college lab." An E.E., he came directly to IBM from the University of Buffalo in 1953. Starting as a Technical Engineer, he was immediately assigned to work, with two others, on designing a small calculator. Jerry Maley learned a great deal about computers in a very short time. Inci- dentally, this small calculator has gone into production. "It makes an engineer feel good," he says, "to see his project reach the production stage-and to be able to follow it through." Promoted to Associate Engineer after sixteen months, he became the leader of a nine-man team, assigning problems to his group for solution, approving their block diagrams and the models they built. A short while ago, he was again promoted-this time to Project Engineer. "A particularly interesting aspect of my present job," Jerry Maley says, a . p "is the further devel- opment of magnetic cores-new memory storage devices for elec- tronic digital compu- ters." His administra- tive details have been reduced to a minimum, freeing him for creative Assigning problem to group member engineering work. Perhaps an hour a day goes into paper work such as requisitioning equipment for his group and reviewing technical publications, in counseling members of his team, and preparing for trips to technical society meetings. Why he chose IBM field is so new, you're contributing along with every- body else in a short time." He endorses the IBM policy of promoting from within, with merit the sole criterion. The salary factor, although it was excellent, was te not his first employ- ment consideration, he . ,> recalls. The tremen- dous advancement po-1 tential was of greater . importance. Testing a new development What about promotions? When asked about advancement opportunities at IBM, he says, "You can hardly miss in this field and in this company. IBM sales have doubled, on the average, every five years. Company expansion at this rate-- in a dynamic industry-- makes my future look bright indeed." Since Jerry Maley came with IBM in 1953, career opportunities at IBM are brighter than ever, as all busi- ness, industry, science and government turn increasingly to auto- mation through elec- Reviewing technical publications tronic computers. e 0 . This profile is just one example of what it's like to be with IBM. There are many other excelleit opportuni- ties for well-qualified college men in Research, Devel- opment, Manufacturing, Sales and Applied Science.

All-Around Athlete Riskey's sport career began as an all-around high school athlete in Springfield, Ohio, where he played football, tennis, basketball, and swam. In 1927, he moved to Ann Arbor and assumed the post of assistant I-M director under Dr. Elmer Mit- chell. When Dr. Mitchell was appoint- ed physical education chairman in' 1942, Riskey moved into his pres- ent position as director of the Wolverine intramural program. Also An Author Sandwiched into his administra- tive chores were two books which hbe co-authored with Dr. Mitchell. Both are of the instructional na- ture, one dealing with sports for recreation and the other on offi- ciating. Between times, when not running the program, Riskey en- joys his "own game" of paddleball or some handball to keep in shape. His athletic ability is attested to by the fact that he is a member of Sigma Delta Psi, national hon- orary athletic fraternity, and serves on its board of directors at Michigan. Teaching Fellows Working with him are seven teaching fellows who are graduate physical education majors from Michigan and other schools. The teaching fellows help to coordin- ate the program while learning their trade. Some former aids now serve as directors at other colleges. Besides running student compe- tition, the I-M building also pro- vides faculty sport events and the building is open to co-recreation each Friday. Foreign Students Compete Foreign students also make com- plete use of the facilities, entering teams in most leagues. Many times they have their own league oper- ated with the help of the Inter- national Center and provide com- petition for the students. Further cosmopolitan touches are added by visitors from many countries who come to observe Michigan's Intramural program.
