Lansing Toni gh M' Overcomes Road Jinx Against Western Opponents By SI COLEMAN Michigan will attempt to start s drive for a playoff position to- ght when it travels to East Lan- ng to engage Michigan State at p.m. The game will be broadcast on 'UOM, beginning at 7:55 p.m. At the present time, the Wol- rines- are tied for third place in e W e s t e r n Intercollegiate ockey League with North Da- ota. The Spartans, with a win and free losses, are one point away om last place, but when these vo teams meet, standings and cords must be tossed out the indow. Long Rivalry There is, an age-old rivalry dsting b e t w e e n, tlese -two ,hools, and it is as fierce and just unpredictable as the football ivalry. No ~doubt exists that Michigan as dominated this series for quite some time. In a 29-year span, the Wolverines have managed to win 33 consecutive games against the Spartans, but not many of those victories were easily accomplished. The results of last season's four games between the two schools give proof of the keen competition afforded by Michigan State. The Wolverines were victorious in all four contests, but each one was a battle down to the wire, and one goal was the margin of vic- tory in each game. Top Scorer Back Returning from last year's Michigan State squad is the lead- ing scorer from that team, Ross Parke. Parke is one of 15 letter- men that have returned, and should be one of the key men in the Spartan's attack. Coach Amo Bessone will have goalie Joe Selinger back for his second season of action. Selinger is regarded as one of the finest netminders in the league. By BOB ROMANOFF Vacation didn't stop the Michi- gan basketball team as it invaded four schools during the holiday period and appeared to overcome their fabled road jitters. Using the heavy artillery of M. C. Burton and Pete Tillotson, the Wolverines gained three wins, although at the outset of the trip they were almost wiped out by Butler, 85-65, and Wyoming, 88-76. Tillotson was high man in the Butler defeat with 17 points. Against Wyoming, played in the new New Mexico Field House, he netted 23 points while teammate Burton took Wolverine honors with 25. Tony Windis, Wyoming guard, OPPOSING GOALIES-Michigan's Ross Childs and Joe Selinger of Michigan State will be in the nets tonight as the Wolverines and Spartans renew their hockey rivalry. I-M CAGE OPENERS: Phi Delts, Kappa Alphas Rout Foes £iBYvt4 MCmAment BY JIM BAAD For the Doubters SINCE THE INCEPTION of the Big Ten's Basis of Need Aid Plan, I have been a constant defender of its principles and purpose, but quite frankly never had an answer to the army of perennial doubters' persistent arguings that the Conference had no way to cheek on such a project as this. The presence of the neutral committee which determines the amount of aid an athlete needs seemed to make no difference. "The . "oaches or parents could pad their reports to the committee," was the answer. "Alumni could easily slip in contributions and the Con- ference would never know about it" was another favorite phrase of the un-believers. Ignorant of exactly what the Big Ten had in the way of a "police force" for its new plan, I could never come up with a satisfactory an- swer. Finally, tired of groping, I wrote the Conference for the facts. Assistant Commissioner William Reed supplied the answers in the following letter, an excellent summation of the Big Ten's efforts to keep its Aid Plan laundry clean. "Perhaps the most pertinent thing that can be said concerning the administration and policing of the financial aid plan is that at the outset the presidents and faculty representatives of the Confer- enee directed, and the Commissioner pledged, a program of strict compliance. In effect, a line'was drawn by the radical re-definitions of financial aid policy contained in the legislation which became ef- fective last February. It was then possible to undertake such a pro- gram of strict compliance. "The Commissioner developed for this purpose an investigative arm which I think is without parallel in intercollegiate athletics. We have on retainer a chief investigator who is a former Conference athlete and official, and who is FBI trained. He in turn has devel- oped a network of correspondents who are likewise interested in athletics, have FBI investigative training, and are willing to make field investigations on our behalf in their local areas in a manner which is both economical to us and efficient because they can pro- vide dispatch. An Examiner .. . "IN addition, the Conference has employed an examiner. His func- tions include investigative work but not in the field nor, in all likelihood, on the basis of a specific complaint of allegation. His primary function is to visit the Conference schools and to examine their procedures in providing financial assistance to athletes. "He also has the benefit of Statements of Financial Support which each varsity athlete and each prospective athlete (defined as one who earns a freshman award) must submit to this office. By correlating these statements with the records of tenders we have, and by scrutiny of the sources of support, he is in a position to spot questionable cases which he then will, pursue upon the occasion of his visits to the schools. "In general it has been the policy of the Commissioner to overlook no report of an allegation of suspected violation of the financial aid rule, whether it has come in the form of a formal complaint or in the form of a rumor such as some newspaper statement, or our own suspicions developed through the miscellaneous assortment of infor- mation anyone in this business acquires with regard to recruiting and financial aid practices. Some Cases for Inquiry . .. "SINCE February 22, 1957,..there have been 18 separate cases which merited what we would term a full inquiry. One of these was the Dickens case, which originated with- rumors which came to our at- tention from numerous sources, as well as formal complaints from Big Ten and other schools, and which involved field investigations of considerably more than 20 individuals. The 18 cases also included the instance of a boy whom an in- formant had reported was receiving aid on 'the basis of the Parents Statement, which was a misrepresentation of fact. This boy was de- clared ineligible for his entire collegiate career. "Not included in the number were a series of spot checks on the validity of Parents Financial Statements, which we conducted as a matter of routine in about four percent of all cases and which last year developed only one case of an inaccurate statement. This had no effect since the school to whom the boy was applying was in- formed and they withheld his tender." Assistant Commissioner Reed ended his letter with the conclu- sion that although it is next to impossible to quell all the popular cynicism regarding conduct in athletics, he feels the Big Ten is mak- ing a thorough and conscientious effort to assure compliance with the new aid program. I have to agree with him wholeheartedly and now feel better armed to meet a few of the cynics myself. I.C.C. Presents TOM LEHRER and By TOM WITECKI One sided games dominated the scene last night as the social fra- ternity "A" basketball league opened its '58 season at the I-M. building. Don Coleman scored 22 points as Kappa Alpha Psi rolled to an easy victory over Phi Sigma Kap- pa. The Kappa Alphas displayed great team speed and strong re- bounding by Center Don Porter. Phi Delta Theta, led by Bob Dunlap who scored 24 points, wal- loped Sigma Phi, 70-5. With a team averaging well over six feet in height, the Phi Delts complete- ly dominated the backboards. Lambda Chi Alpha racked up 43 points in the first half and coasted' to a 56-26 win over Tau Kappa Epsilon. In two more run- away contests, Sigma Nu routed Pi Lambda Phi, 71-11, and Delta Sigma Phi crushed Triangle, 65-22. Evans Webb of Phi Gamma Del- ta scored 24 of his team's 44 points In their 44-33 victory over Phi Epsilon Pi. Sigma Phi Epsilon, last 1 year's champions, started where they left off last year by turning back a stubborn Alpha Epsilon Pi squad, 45-19. North Eleven Starts Drills MOBILE, Ala. WP) - Two Michi- gan State teammates moved into starting offensive positions for the North team yesterday as both squads began intensive work for Saturday's Senior Bowl football game. Yankee Coach Joe Kuharich of the Washington Redskins had Jim Ninowski, Michigan State's slick quarterback, directing the No. 1 unit most of the time in dummy scrimmage. Others in the No. 1 backfield most of the time were Walt Ko- walczyk, Ninowski's running mate; Mike Sommer, George Washing- ton; and Ray Nitschke, Illinois. In one of the evening's closer contests, Si Coleman scored 12 points in Tau Delta Phi's 29-17 win over Psi Upsilon. OTHER SCORES Theta Chi 28, Delta Upsilon 24 Alpha Tau Omega 32, Phi Kap- Pa Sigma 16 Acacia 29, Delta Chi 21 Sigma 'Chi 52, Phi Kappa Tau 23 Delta Tau Delta 51, Alpha Sig-, ma Phi 16 Chi Psi 39, Delta Kappa Epsilon 19 Beta Theta Pi 29, Kappa Sigma 28 Trigon 19, Theta Xi 18 Sigma Alpha Epsilon 32, Sigma Alpha Mu 24 Alpha Delta Phi 69, 'Zeta Psi 32 Phi Sigma Delta 31, Zeta Beta Tau 22 Chi Phi over Theta Delta Chi (forfeit) was Michigan's downfall with 33. Like a true military strategist, Coach Bill Perigo made a change in his forces after-this setback. He shifted George Lee to forward and inserted sophomore Terry Miller in the vacated guard position. Lack Center Perigo cited the need of another high scoring forward as the cause of the shift. He would have pre- ferred to move Tillotson to the forward slot but had no one to move into the pivot. With the new lineup Michigan attacked New Mexico and came away with a 78-66 victory. Burton and Tillotson again provided the fire-power with 23 and 19 points respectively. Two days later Michigan in- vaded Arizona. When the smoke cleared the home team had fallen, 88-76, high scores-Burton, 20, and Tillotson, 18, again. New Year's eve the team arrived back in Ann Arbor at 10:30 p.m. to prepare for the opening cam- paign of the Big Ten season. On New Year's day while most people were recovering from the night before, Perigo's squad held two practice sessions at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Fly to Iowa City On the morning of January 3, the cagers flew to Iowa City. That afternoon they held another prac- tice. The next morning they held a light drill. When night came they advanced to the front lines for the first of 14 Conference games. The Iowa fort failed to hold as Michigan won, 73-65. Monday Michigan hosted Wis- consin. Despite the fact they won, 70-49, Perigo said, "Wisconsin has a good team that will win games." He cited the fact that they beat Butler and only lost to Utah who is rated in the top 20 by a slim two point margin. BIG TEN STANDINGS Landstro, Stanger ,.Excel~ At Holiday Track Meet BACK AT FORWARD--Michigan's George Lee (35) who started the year at forward and was then shifted to guard was put back in the forward slot by Bill Perrigo who needed another high scorer upfront.

The 1956 Big Ten pole vault champion, Eeles Landstrom, showed Michigan track followers that he still has his winning form by towering 14'6" to lead some fine performances by Coach Don Canham's thinclads in the Uni- versity of Chicago Track Club's Holiday Meet, December 28. Lan d s tr o m, a husky blond junior, who stayed out of school last year as a member of the Fin- nish Army and also Finland's Olympic team, tied for first place. Six Wolverines, all competing un- attached, placed in the meet. Highly Rated Fred Montour, rated one of the most promising distance men ever to come to Michigan, blazed to a 1:57.0 half mile - good for sec- ond place. He is a transfer, sitting out a year of residence. Pete Stanger increased Michi- gan's hopes in the hurdles by dashing through the lows in a winning time of :07.7 and taking third in the highs. Shot putter, Ermin Crownley, a sophomore, and high jumper, Mamon Gibson, took second places while two-miler Geert Keilstrup placed fourth. Crownley, who put the shot over 50' as a freshman last year, needed only a 484" toss for his runner-up spot. Gibson was a surprise second in the high jump. He is known main- ly as a pole vaulter, an event in which he finished fourth in last year's Big Ten indoor meet. W.

"This was the kind of challenge I was looking for" Here's what John A. Reiter, Jr., B.S. in Electronics, Arizona State College, '54, says about the biggest project so far in his Bell System career. "This was the kind of challenge I was looking for-a chance to assist in plan- ning a microwave radio relay system between Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona. Five intermediate relay stations would be needed, and I began by planning the tower locations on 'line of sight' paths after a study of topographical maps. Then I made field studies using altimeter measurements, and conducted path-loss tests to determine how high each tower should be. This was the trickiest part of the job. It called for detecting the pres. transmission route, and determining measures necessary to avoid their effects. "Not the least part of the job was estimating the cost of each of the five relay stations. All told, the system will cost more than $500,000. When con- struction is finished in December of this year, I'll be responsible for technical considerations in connecting the radio relay and telephone carrier equipment. "This assignment is an example of the challenges -a technical man can find in the telephone company. You take the job from start to finish-from basic field studies to the final adjustments-with full responsibility. To technical men who want to get ahead, that's the ultimate I
