There appeared a strong chance that di appointing Herbie Flam might be dropped and replaced by Barry MacKay, a hard - hitting young giant from Dayton, Ohio, + and former University of Michigan star. MacKay moved solidly into the picture as a possible singles and even doubles player. MacKay Certain Captain Bill Talbert must name his four man squad tomorrow and the one player certain to be on it is MacKay who has been making a strong bid for varsity Davis Cup recognition. Talbert has been working Mac- Kay hard in singles and also equipping him for possible doubles use in case it seems that 44-yr. old Gardnar Mulloy may be a bad risk. Although a big boy with large legs and a bit slow on reflexes, MacKay has tremendous hitting power and, what Talbert likes more, a fiery desire to play plus supreme confidence. tight. Because of a height disad- vantage the Washington offense was built on the principle of mov- ing the ball around until they got the opening for the one good shot, but it never came. Time and again they passed up jump shots from around the post looking for the opening to- drive into the basket but the Michigan defensive speed and teamwork never gave them the chance. It was somewhat paradoxical that the shots Washington was passing up were the shots that Michigan was taking and making to win the game. Despite this good play by the Michigan defense, Coach Bill Per- igo remarked after the game that the team was still not in the type of condition it will need for Big Ten play. This was evident in. the tired look on the faces of several of the players after the game. This is due for the most part to the zone defenses and slow-moving teams that the Wolverines have met in their last three games. When they meet teams that will make them run more, they will probably reach the peak Perigo desires. The game was closely called, on occasion. Michigan was charged with 26 fouls, while the Bears were tapped 24 times. As far as the Wolverines went it was a case of a little too aggressive ball-hawking for the type of game that was being called.

There is a possibility that he may be able to see action next week. Sophomore Delky Dozzi also was sidelined due to an upper leg injury and possible torn ligaments. A bright spot was the fine goal- tending job turned in by Ross Childs in both games of the week- end series. Last night Childs made 28 saves as compared to 16 stops made by Nodak goalie, Bob Peters, in the game. Coach Al Renfrew, meeting the team he coached a year ago, ex- pressed satisfaction in obtaining a split with the Nodaks, known to be a very strong home team. Last sea- son the Sioux didn't drop a league game on their home ice, and the club has never lost both games of a home series.

Big Ten Coaches, Officials Elect Pace As League's Most aae Player CHICAGO {t"} - All - America i halfback Jim Pace of Michigan was voted the Big Ten's most valu- able player to his team for the 1957 football season, it was an-' nounced yesterday. Pace won by a one point mar- gin over another All-America play- er, center Dan Currie of Michigan State, in the closest most valuable decision in 20 years. However, Pace, who led the Big Ten in scoring and rushing, re- ceived 13 votes for first place from the 23 electors, compared with nine for Currie. Currie got nine second place votes against twofor Pace. Thus the Michigan halfback won, 28 points to 27, first place counting two points and second place one point. Top Runner Pace, 195-pound senior from Lit- tle Rock, Ark., led the Big Ten in scoring with nine touchdowns and in rushing with 584 yards on 100 carries. The Big Ten's indoor sprint champion, Pace was a spec- tacular open field runner. He was a fine safety man on defense and a good blocker. A first draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers, Pace has not yet decided if he will try the profes- sional game. Narrow Margin This was the narrowest margin of decision since 1947 when Corby Davis, Indiana fullback, won by one point over Cecil Isbell, Pur- due 'halfback. For winning this honor, Pace will receive the Chicago Tribune silver football which is awarded annually. The election board included the Western Conference football coaches, ten veteran football offi- cials, Big Ten Commissioner K. L. (Tug) Wilson, and sports edi- tor Wilfrid Smith and sports col- umnist Dave Condon of the Chi- cago Tribune. Ballot on 10 Players The balloting was on 10 players, one nominated by his squad from each conference school. Others re- ceived votes, but the balloting was concentrated on Pace and Currie. Other most valuable players at their schools were end Rod Han- sen, Illinois; end Tony Alosio, In- diana; guard Bob Commings, Iowa; quarterback Dick Larson, Minnesota; halfback Willmer Fow- ler, Northwestern; guard Bill Job- ko, Ohio State; and center Neil Habig, Purdue. The silver football award was inaugurated in 1924 with the first trophy going to Harold (Red) Grange of Illinois. NEIL McDONALD ... out of action Tournament of Roses Assn. ay Cancel PCC Contract third period in which many fights broke out. Michigan's John Hut- ton was involved in a scrap with Nodak wing Stan Paschke at 13:04 of the period which resulted in five-minute penalties to both men. The fighting only typified the in- tense fierceness with which the game was played. In the final frame, North Dakota added an insurance goal by Ralph Lyndon at 5:55. This gave the Sioux a 4-0 lead which turned out to be the final score. The team returns home today to face a strenuous week of activity. Michigan must play two games each with Denver and Colorado, each game counting two points. LOS ANGELES 0P)-There were indications yesterday that the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Assn. soon will give notice of can- cellation of its contract with the Pacific Coast Conference after the 1959 Rose Bowl Football game. Withdrawal of UCLA, California and Southern California from the PCC makes the contract undesir- able from the Pasadena point of view. Speculation Speculation is that, beginning with the 1960 game, the Tourna- ment Selection Committee will be calling the shots, just as it did before the PCC and Big Ten sign- ed their athletic pact in 1947. The committee always had a PCC team, but the opponents came from all sections. But after 1960 the committee wouldn't have to worry about the PCC. Its Western*representative could come from anywhere west of the Mississippi. The Eastern Re- presentative, likewise, would not be restricted to the Big Ten. Restrictions imposed by the PCC-Big Ten pact took consider- able luster from the Rose Bowl game in certain years. The pro- hibition against any school play- ing two years in a row hurt and the Big Ten domination of the game through continued victories unquestionably cut interest in the contest. Despite this, the Rose Bowl always has been a financial success. Other Developments Aside from the Bose Bowl game, other developments are taking form since the withdrawal an- nouncement by the three schools. Los Angeles Herald and Express Sports Editor, George T. Davis, says the withdrawal means "a brand new nationwide conference, embracing such schools as Army, Navy, Notre Dame, Air Force Academy, Pittsburgh, Miami of Florida" and others. He said it means, "As far as the public is concerned, better competition in football."

Faculty representatives, in the last session of the annual winter meetings, amended rules to cut off eligibility after eight semesters, or 12 terms, that an athlete is in attendance. Previously 10 The old-rules provided a cutoff after 10 semesters, or 15 terms, whichever academic period is in use. Under this, schools could keep a football player out of games,1 using him only as a ,"red, shirted" scrub in practices so he could be further seasoned. The player thus would get all the benefits of daily drills with- out using any of his eligibilityand would become a thoroughly ex- perienced player and still have three varsity seasons remaining.

Financial Aid A change was made in the time a tender of financial aid to a pros- pective prep athlete could be made. Tenders now can be made on May 1, instead of June 15, and on Dec. 1, instead of Nov. 15. In each instance, the athlete still must accept or reject a tender within 21 days after receiving it. The financial plan, which bases aid on proven need, was adopted last February. Yesterday it was re- ferred back to the original draft- ing committee which will study any changes that may be needed and as well its progress. The com- mittee will report at the . confer- ence meeting in March. Asst. Commissioner Bill Reed disclosed that of 1,341 financial statements by parents processed for freshmen there was only one falsification found in a spot check. The boy was ruled ineligible for varsity sports for his entire school- ing. The statements are required as the basis for determining the need under the aid plan.
