By DALE ARBOUR Speed is the name of t he game these days, and the sprint field for today's Michigan's Re- lays is no exception. Leading the field in the 60 yard dash is Gene Brown of Michigan who last weekend at Columbus set a new fieldhouse and Varsity record of :06.0 for that distance. This time is only one tenth of a second off the existing world record of :05.9 set by John Carlos last year. Challenging Brown for speed honors will be Herb Washing- ! ton of Michigan State who has a best time in the 60 yard dash of :06.1, and Jim Green of the University of Kentucky, who was the NCAA Champion in 1968 with a time of :06,0. How- ever, Green has been hampered __. I FIRST MEET ;anspeed keys relays by leg injuries all during the season last year and therefore he may not be able to compete effectively this early in the sea- son. ANOTHER individual event which promises to be adequate in competition will be the pole vault. Three of the entries have done 16' or better in previous competition, which marks them as some of the best pole vaulters in the country. They include Bill Barrett of the Ann Arbor Track Club, Larry Wolfe of Michigan, and Wilbur Davis of the Chicago Track Club. Davis and Wolf finished second and third re- spectively at the Columbus Fed- eration Meet last weekend. The 600 yard run should also prove to have its share of ex- citement as two of the best run- ners in the country at that dis- tance are cntered. Bill Wehr- wein of Michigan State was the NCAA champion in the 600 last year with a time of 1:09.8. His major opponent is Kent Bern- ard who now runs for the Ann Arbor Track Club. SINCE this is a meet com- posed primarily of relays, some of those events promise to be of interest. In the distance med- ley (880, 440, 1320, mile), Eas- tern Michigan, Western Mich- igan and Michigan all have strong entrys, and all three of these teams are capable of breaking the existing fieldhouse record in this event of 10:02.1 set last year by Michigan. The sprint medley will see an especially young and tough foursome which includes George Drew in the 440, followed by Trevor Matthews and G e n e Brown in the 220s, and anchor- eed by Eric Chapman. in the 880. Brown is the lone sopho- more while the other three are all freshmen. The meet begins with the col- lege division events at 11 a.m. and the finals in the university division at 6:30 p.m. The pre- liminaries in the university di- vision begin at 3:30 p.m. All the action takes place at Yost Field House. .

CThis point fraction, however, is not expected to be crucial to the contest's final score. The Gophers are good as they have recorded a 156 season and are undefeated in the Big Ten, but they are no match for the undefeated Wolver- ines, who are going for their 26th consecutive dual meet victory. Michigan is -the only conference team to score above 160. In fact, the gymnasts' worse score to date was 160.25, but they have also topped 163. Granted that Michigan should be too much for Minnesota, how- ever the excitement today will be provided by individuals. Herein lies the significance of five one- hundreths of a point The number one individual to watch has at one time this year missed a 9.5 score on the parallel bars by five one-hundreths of a point. Today may be the day NCAA champion Ron Rapper achieves this mark with his one-arm hand- stand and pirouette move that no other collegiate competitor has mastered to date. Of course Rap- per isn't the whole reason Mich- igan is a powerhouse. George Huntzicker, who is also I an NCAA champion but on the trampoline, an event no longer included in NCAA meets, competes in vaulting and floor exercise, where he has a 9.3 to his credit. All-arounder Rick McCurdy is the defending Big Ten champion, but his partner Sid Jensen is the one who has surpassed the 54.0 mark. Jensen had an outstanding day at East Lansing last week as Michigan crushed MSU 162-150. Although sophomore Ray Gura has scored 9.4 on the side horse, I the competitors in this event con- tinue to be a thorn in the side of .Wolverine coach Newt Loken, be- cause of their inconsistency. Loken also has problems in the high bar, though the problem is that six have the potential to top 9.0. The best of these are two sophomores, Ted Marti and Ed Howard. - Minnesota, on the other hand, does have some individuals of its own who could give the Wolverines trouble. Jeff Rock and Rick Blesi have both scored over 9.0 in the floor exercise and vaulting. Russ Fy- strom has achieved over a 9.0 in the side horse, Fred Kueffer is a stropg all-arounder, and Frank Harris and Blair Hanson are cap- able of 9.2 on the high bar. By JIM KEVRA "It will be a good meet. We can beat them but it's going to be tough." Those were the slightly op-, timistic words of Michigan's head swimming coach Gus Stager as he prepared his Maize and Blue swim team .for to- night's invasion by the green meanies from Michigan State University. Stager has good reason to be optimistic about tonight's meet. His swim team sports a perfect 7-0 dual meet mark so far this year plus a second place finish in the recent Big Ten relays. The dual meet wins include a victory last weekend over Southern Methodist University, one of the nation's strongest teams. But, as Stager points out, a victory will not be easy. The Spartans boast one of their finest teams in recent years and have looked good this year in dual meet competition. In addi- tion, they showed surprising depth as they finished a strong third in the Big Ten Relays. Big Ten St andings THE SPARTAN swimmers have a new coach this year, for- mer assistant coach Dick Fet- ters. Stager describes Fetters as "a good coach, He's a man who knows how to get the most out of his material." This year, Fetters has the material to work with. Eleven lettermen return to form the nucleus of a team which in- cludes last year's Big Ten cham- pion in the 400-yard Individual Medley, co-captain Bruce Rich- ards. In almost every event, the Spartans have swimmers who are at least the equal of Michi- gan's best swimmers. For exam- ple, here are Stager's comnients on the distance races (the 500 and 1000-yard freestyle events). "They (the Spartans) have Bruce Richards who last year beat Gary Kinkead in the Big' Ten's. In addition, their second man (George) Gonzalez is the equivalent of our second man (probably either Rick Dorney or Tim Norlen) ." RICHARDS, however, may not swim distance events as the Green and White have a soph- omore swimmer, John Theurer, who has already posted the tenth fastest time in the nation this year in the 1000-yard free- style. Michigan State looks very strong in the sprints as they are' led by co-captain Mike Kalmbach, a fourth place fin- isher in the 100-yard freestyle in last year's NCAA champion- ships. Two members of last year's Big Ten championship 400-yard freestyle relay team, Dick Crittenden and Mark Hold- ridge, also return. The breaststroke event may well be the highlight of the meet. Michigan's strong con- tingent is led by Bill Mahoney and Dave Clark who finished one-two against SMU. They will, however, get a, strong race from Jeff Lanini, ' a Spartan sophomore. Lanini has the fourth fastest time in the na- tion this year in thes200-yard breaststroke with. a: fast 2:14.2. Mahoney's best time is less than a second slower. DIVING SHOULD be another close event. In the pig Ten re- lays, the Wolverines captured firsts in both the one-meter and three-meter events. The Spartans, however, also looked strong as they placed third off the low board and second in the high board. Coach Stager feels that his team is ready for the meet. "There hasn't been any letdown since the ,Southern Methodist meet and so haven't had to do anything (to "fire up" the team)." History clearly shows the superiority of previous Wolver- ine swim teams over Michigan State. The two schools have faced each other 46 times with Michigan's record an impressive 42 wins and only four losses. The Spartans last win came in 1967 in a meet at East Lansing. *4 STUDENTS INTERNATIONAL 769-6871 1231 S.
