Wolverines Crush Jackrabbits, 95-55

1-M SPOIITLIGHT'
... by Paul Borman
From the time when the sound of football body contact ends until
the thumping of the basketball on the court begins, Michigan's varsity
sports program is at its lowest ebb.
That, however, is not the case at the I-M Building, where Intra-
mural Director Earl Riskey's program keeps all the semi-athletes busy
with his post-fall selection of sports.
Tonight's Championship Night at the I-M Building already marks-
the near completion of the second quarter of the Intramural sports
program which began after touch football concluded. The events will
determine most of the volleyball, swimming, wrestling and handball
champions.
Pointwise this fall quarter equals the total output of any of the
other quarters even though it doesn't boast of any of the better known
and more widely played sports such as football, basketball or baseball.
The 150 point sport for this quarter is volleyball which is thought of
by many as a picnic or family sport. However, when two intramural
squads take the floor for a volleyball match, there is little love lost
and the physical exertion is equal to that of any other sport. Following
in the point parade are wrestling and swimming, both of which aWard
100 points to the winner, while handball allots 75 points.
Last night because of a scheduling difficulty between the par-
ticipants, the Social Fraternity volleyball match, between Sigma Phi
Epsilon and Chi Psi took place ahead of time. The outcome produced
no great surprise as the Sig Eps further cemented the current lead in
their league by downing Chi Psi, 4-1 for the title. Tonight's volleyball
program will feature the other league championships. Wesleyan and
1207 Club will start the festivities at 8 when they battle for the
Independent first place, while on a different court Nu Sigma Nu will
take on Psi Omega for the Professional Fraternity title. One hour later
the Residence Hall crown will be decided when Scott plays Cooley.
Swimming, Wrestling, Handball.. .
Tonight's action at the Varsity Pool will have Anderson meeting
Taylor for the Residence Hall swimming championship at 7:30. The
three other leagues are still competing in their playoffs with the finals.
to be held sometime between now and Christmas vacation.
The wrestling program will feature the Residence Hall Champion-
ship starting at 7:30. Out of the eight events, Gomberg, current leader
of its league has qualified a man in seven and seems certain to widen
its lead which currently is only 11 points over second place Strauss.
The Social Fraternity teams still have some eliminations to run
through and it is very. doubtful if they will conclude their matches.
Neither the Professional Fraternity nor Independent Leagues engage
in wrestling.
Along with three handball finals tonight, the Intramural depart-
ment will feature a special match with the school's top players facing
the three top amateurs in the state. The lead in the Independent
League which almost always has the Seldpm Seen Kids in first, very
closely followed by the Evans Scholars, could change hands when the
two leaders clash tonight at 8 p.m. Following them at 8:30 Nu Sigma
Nu will try to add to its lead in the Professional Fraternity loop when
it takes on Delta Theta Phi, while the third match between Cooley and'
Williams for the Residence Hall crown will be taking place at the same
time on another court.
'The special match at 7:30 will feature Paul Stobbe, the eighth
ranked handball artist in the nation, John Scopus and Jim Arnold,
former Wolverine champion against the Wolverine team of Al Lifshay,
Al Schaufelberger and Bill Boonstra. \

"Colorado-it's all Colorado!"
These are the words which seem
to characterize the Western Inter-
collegiate Hockey League, that
league in which the Michigan Wol-
verines compete.
Almost ever sportswriter is pre-
dicting a repeat for Colorado Col-
lege, last year's NCAA champs,
the team that rolled to a 13-6
victory over Michigan in the play-
off finals last March.
In a pre-season poll of sports-
writers and coaches, working on a
point system, Colorado College was
accorded 68 points, 18 more than
its nearest rival, Michigan.
Scorers Return
One reason for this excessive
optimism over Colorado is the re-
turn intact of the Tiger's record
producing line of last year. This
line is centered by Bill "Red" Hay
who scored a record-breaking 68
goals last season. He is flanked by
Bob McCusker and Ike Scott.
But despite the almost unani-
mous support behind Colorado, one
can never be sure in predicting the
favorites in the WIHL.
Michigan is ranked second in
the same poll. The teams that fin-
ish first and second in the WIHL
represent the league in the NCAA
playoffs every March.
The Wolverines haven't failed to
reach the playoffs in ten consecu-
tive years, and they hope to repeat
this year.
Sophomores Spark Denver
Both Denver and North Dakota
are expected to furnish plenty of
competition to their opponents.
Denver, just like many other teams
in the WIHL, is depending on a

group of sophomores to lead them
to the championship.
North Dakota must find replace-
ment for All-American Bill Reic-
hart. This will be no easy task
because Reichart led the Nodaks
in scoring for three years.
Michigan Tech, Michigan State
and Minnesota all have compara-
tively young squads. But with rapid
development, any or all of, these
teams could play a vital role in
determining the league's champion.
Seven Teams in League
The Western Intercollegiate
Hockey League is composed of
seven teams, all competing for the
championship or at least second
place, either of which will assure'
them a playoff berth.
Each team engages, each other
team in the league, playing a
an opponent is engaged only twice
schedule which totals 24 points. If
during a season, a victory is worth
two points. If the team is played
four times, each win is worth one
point.
The schedule this year 'plays an
odd quirk of fate on Michigan. The
Wolverines are forced to play six
league games in eight days, begin-
ning Friday. These games will total
12 points, exactly half of the sea-
son's total.

Tired South Dakota State fold-
ed completely under the Weight of
a frantic, yet accurate, Michigan
offense last night at. Yost Field
House as the Wolverinehcagers
gained their second straight home
triumph, 95-55.
The Jackrabbits from the west
had piayed, and lost, three pre-
vious games in four nights, and
were definitely out of their class
again last night.
The victorious Wolverines, how-
ever, were far from a good team.
The triumph was born out of
South Dakota State lapses more
than Michigan strength. Through-
out the contest the Wolverines
were able to slip through the Jack-
rabbit zone defense, which at
times appeared almost stationary
in the face of the Wolverine at-
tack.
Coach Bill Perigo's cagers dom-
inated the play,rtaking 102 shots,
and hitting on 41 'for a hot 40.2
percentage. Many of these goals
came on drives and rebounds, with
only Pete Tillotson, Billy Wright
and Terry Miller able to hit from
outside for Michigan.
Michigan Controls Boards
TheWolverines' domination of
the ball was possible through
strong rebounding. Although field-
ing the shorter starting team,
Michigan cleared both boards
consistently, getting 69 rebounds
to South Dakota State's 40. George
Lee, M. C. Burton and Randy Tar-
rier 'stood out in this department.
The Jackrabbits' offense suf-
fered from two sides - an inabil-
ity to sir~k shots, and an' intermit-
tently stiff Wolverine defense. Us-
ing basically a man to man pat-
tern, with frequent switching,
Michigan proved tough when nec-
essary, and allowed South Dakota
State only 59 shots from the floor.

Wright continued to stand out
on defense, too, playing the role
of a ball-hawk, and setting up
many fast-breaks with intercepted
passes.
Hitting well below the Wolver-
ines, the Jackrabbits sank only 20
of their 59 attempts for a 33.9
percentage. Their attack suffered
greatly from poor passing, as
Wright and other intercepted the
ball time and again before any
shot could be taken.
Faulty 'M' Passes
Perigo's group also suffered
from bad passes, but only after
they had piled up a substantial
lead.After eight minutes of play
the Wolverines held a 17-9 lead,
which was stretched to 20-9, then
cut to 20-14, but never threatened
again-
Near the end of the first half
Perigo began to substitute freely,
and second and third stringers
played generous portions of the
contest. The starting unit of Til-
lotson, Lee, Wright, Tarrier and
Burton was- augmented by Jack
Lewis, Gordie Rogers and Miller
during thenfirsthalf and the
Michigan bench was cleared ex-
cept for one man by game's end.
Wolverines Look Ragged
All of the Wolverine combina-
tions suffered From ragged play,
which was exemplified at one
point in the second half when two
consecutive fast breaks were
thrown away. The race-horse at-
tack that Michigan used most of
the game helped to give them the
fantastic total of shots at the
basket. Perigo stated that the 102
atempts was more than 20 above
last year's average.
Tillotson, Lee Sink 18
Tillotson and Lee shared scoring
honors for Michigan with 18
points each, while Wright added
14 and Miller 12. Miller's were per-
haps the most impressive, coming
late in the game on some beautiful
jump shots.
Kent Hyde, the 6'7" Jackrabbit
scoring ace, was far from his best
last night, as he led his team with
15 points, mostly on free throws.
Wayne Gaughrah, also 6'7" and
the other principle scoring threat,
and Hyde both gathered 4 person-
al fouls before the end of the
first half, and both fouled out near
'the game's end.

To Remain
MSU Coach
CHICAGO (P)-Football Coach
Hugh Daugherty yesterday passed
up a reported $60,000-a-.year
coaching position at Texas A&M

the offer since Monday noon when
he had conferred with Texas A&M
officials concerning the position

become head coach at Alabama.
Daugherty, 42, head MSU coach
since 1954, receives an estimated
salary of between $23,000 and $25,-"
000 at Michigan State. The big
offer from Texas A&M reportedly
included a TV contract, Duffy's
estimated salary at MSU also in-
cludes extracurricular activity.
