T111 MCM GAN DAILY PAGE TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Icers To Face Spartans in East Lansing Tonigh ",. Spot4 Ciminent BY JIM BAAD 'M' Concludes State Series In Coliseum Saturday Night INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL: Buckeyes, Meat Choppers Win Games Back for the Day BARRY MACKAY, freshly home from the Davis Cup and other Down-Under battles, paid a visit to his alma mater yesterday with a dual purpose in mind - to see old friends and to do a little brushing up on the hardwood surface of the I- Building courts. Rated by the recent but now "retired" captain of the U.S. Davis Cup Team Bill Talbert as the brightest star in this country's future Cup hopes, MacKay has taken to full time playing. This explains the hardwood practice preparation for the Queen City Invitational at Buf- falo today and tomorrow. From there the former Michigan standout has a busy schedule. He goes to the National Indoor Tournament in New York Feb. 19-23, to Pittsburgh the first two days of March, and then for a swing through South America, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. The first of April will find MacKay back in the U.S. for some southern tourna- ments and then it's across the At- lantic to Italy April 20, through the European circuit and then to Wimbledon by the last week in June. Throughout these travels he gets paid 20 dollars a day for expenses plus transportation. Not a bad deal at all, but you have to be one of the top amateurs in the country to qualify. MacKay came up yesterday from his home in Dayton, Ohio, and was immersed in all sorts of activity from the time he arrived until he left. Lunch in Royal Oak, and then an afternoon of volley- ing with Michigan's practicing tennis team, a short press con- ference, much posing for pic- tures, and at the end a radio in- terview. So goes the life of the --Daily-Harold Gassenheimer celebrity. BARRY MACKAY . MacKay's rise from the local to ...local boy makes good the national.tennis limelight was as spectacular as it was unexpect- ed. He had gone on tour with the Davis Cup team but no one expected he would play in the actual tournament. He was only along for the experience. The story of the more or less emergency insertion of Mac- Kay into the internationally famous Australian-American tennis duel is now old, but the memory of his surprising showing in the vastly more experienced competition inspires a major U.S. Davis Cup hope for this year. MacKay says Dinny Pgils, former member of Jack Kramer's professional entourage, was: of especially great help to him in the ten days of intense practice he put in before his first Davis Cup match. When questioned on the replacement of long time Davis Cup Captain Talbert by Percy Jones, MacKay replied that he thought Talbert to be a very good coach and that he was surprised when the w mentor was dropped. He added, however, that Jones is very close to, Jack Kramer and that the chances are good the amateurs may have an opportunity to work out regularly with the professionals. This would be a situation which MacKay says he would enjoy consider- ably. "The crowd at the Davis Cup Match was very polite and they certainly know their tennis," related MacKay. He added, however, that he felt they would have been much less polite had the fate of the Cup been in greater danger. A point of interest is that during his freshman year at Michigan MacKay ,was seriously thinking of giving up tennis as his interest in the sport was waning. During the next summer, however, he did a lot of playing inthe East and his interest returned. His three years; here as first- singles player capped with the NCAA title speak for themselves, and he gives the majority of the credit for what he has learned about the game to Michigan Coach Bill Murphy. Greatly Improved.. AiL THE TOURNAMENT experience plus the day to day playing has greatly increased MacKay's confidence and has made him a steadier player. He also has become used to the grass surface, has developed a stronger serve, and he says he's hitting harder than he used to. He's in excellent condition, well tanned, and all who seem to be in the know think he should steadily improve. He's not yet infallible, however. He got into a series of games with former Big Ten Champion Andy Payton yesterday and after Payton had gained a 2-0 advantage Murphy quipped "I guess they sent the wrong man to Australia." But a quip was all it was. MacKay is beginning to look, and to be treated like a champion of note. TOP 'M' HURDLER: Stan ger Paces Greats By PAUL BORMAN Sole possession of fifth place in the WIHL will be at stake tonight as the Michigan hockey team travels to East Lansing to take on Michigan State in the first of a two-game series. The second game will be here tomorrow evening at the Coliseum STAR GUARD: Per igo Applauds Miller By DAVE LYON Michigan's chances of remaining in Big Ten basketball title conten- tion may well depend on whether the Wolverines can display accur- ate outcourt shooting in tomor- row's contest at Ohio State and Monday's Michigan State game here. Although the Michigan forward line of M. C. Burton, Pete Tillot- son, and George Lee can hit from outside as well as inside, the prin- cipal outcourt shooting attack de- volves upon starting guards junior Jack Lewis and Terry Miller, who is the only sophomore on the first team. Serves as Playmaker In his first Big Ten season, Mill- er has proved a valuable asset to Coach Bill Perigo's cagers as a playmaker and as an outside shooting threat. For example, in the Ohio State game here it was primarily Miller who opened up the Buckeyes' de- fense with his long-range accu- racy. And in the recent defeat at Min- nesota, Miller and Lewis, who each take 50 jump shots before prac- tice each day, combined for 52 per cent accuracy, while the rest of the team manged only 21 per cent. Exceptional Jumping Ability Miller may be termed the Con- ference's tallest six-foot player be- cause of his exceptional jumping ability. This allows him to get away his jump shots without having them blocked, and also enables him to "dunk" the ball on drive-in shots. Perigo characterizes Miller. as an "outstanding team man," a re- quisite for guards, who act as "quarterbacks" in setting up the team's offensive plays. "It's tough for a soph to break into the Big Ten style of play," says Perigo. Although Miller has the most trouble on defense, "he's been working hard *on it, and will improve," adds the Michigan coach' and tickets will go on sale this morning. Both squads are currently tied for fifth place and if one can emerge with a sweep of the series, it will gain a definite hold on the slot since only four league games will remain. Gourley to Miss Game Only Don Gourley will be miss- ing from the Wolverine lineup in tonight's game, while the Spar- tan's will be without the services of its top left wing, Dick Hamilton and another wingman in Bill Mac- Kenzie. Both starred in the January 8 game when the Spartan's ended Michigan's 35-yr. ice supremacy over them. Top scorers on the State team to watch will be Ross Parke and Joe Polano who rank seventh and eighth in WIHL scoring re- spectively. Michigan's hottest prospect will be sophomore Bob White whose three goal outburst against Min- nesota's All-American goalie Jack McCartan paved the way to the Wolverines victory last Saturday. Although neither team has a chance to make the playoffs, both could possibly finish as high as third place. That spot is currently co-occupied by Minnesota and Broadcast Tonight's hockey game at East Lansing will be broadcast over WUOM starting at 7:57 p.m. North Dakota, both of whom are two points ahead of the fifth place teams. Also being eyed by Michigan and State is the McNaughton Tro- phy which is given to the best collegiate hockey team in the state. Hoad Tops Gonzales By HAL APPLEBAUM The I-M game, which is played with reckless abandon and an ex- cessive amount of body contact usually reminds one of a football game, and last night it had an added flavor of the gridiron as seven members of Michigan's varsity took to the court in In- dependent League action, Four of these players, John Herrnstein, Jared Bushong, Gary Prahst and Dick Ketteman played for the Buckeyes who swamped the Fighting 514th 71-31. High scorer for the Buckeyes was Monte Bullard with 17 points. ' Others who saw action were Jim Pace and Willie Smith as mem- bers of the Meat Choppers, who decimated the Rodents, 32-16. hEnd Dale Keller's 21 points led the Seven Dwarfs to a 35-29 vic- tory over Owen Co-op. Perennial independent league winners, the Seldom Seen Kids beat Speed Boys 51-23 with Bill Tucker leading the way with 13 points.

Gonzales, u s u a l ly invincible with his serve, lost his delivery as often as he held it. Hoad cracked through twice in each set, and yielded .only once in his own service. That spelled the difference as the 23-year-old Australian went ahead, 10-7 in the 100-match series which began last month on the grass in Hoad's homeland.

NO 3-2481 By JIM BENAGH Rangy Pete Stanger, Michigan's best hurdler in years, has found competition pushing him into a "bridesmaid" role in the young track season, and the trend will probably continue. The speedy Canadian, who al- ready established himself by push- ing opponents to records in two star-filled meets this year, will be cast in an underdog role again tomorrow when the Wolverines contest Ohio State and Illinois at Champaign. ' Stanger will match his talents; against Olympic 400-meter hurdle winner Glenn Davis. The Buckeye had the Wolverine at his heels last week in the Michigan State Relays when he set Relay and Jenison Fieldhouse marks in both hurdle evezts. Paces Jones to Record Stanger previously turned in ex- cellent times behind Eastern Mich- igan's Hayes Jones, one of the world's top-ranked hurdlers, in the Michigan AAU. He was only one-tenth second off Jones' clock- ings, which tied AAU and Yost Field House bests. He won the Canadian Olympic high hurdle tryouts in 1956, but, didn't make the trip due to the association's lack of funds.
