Indiana's swim team has beent
drowning the rest of the confer-E
ence in the annual Big Ten Re-
lays for the past seven years, and£
this year's relays scheduled for
1:00 today -at Matt Mann PoolT
forecast more of the same.
Led by Gary Hall a n d Mark;
Spitz, probably the two best swim-
mers in the world, and NCAA div-
ing champion Jim Henry, the
Hoosiers could easily win all
twelve relays just as they did two
years ago.
THE WOLVERINES have beenl
following the Hoosier wake in a
comfortable runner-up spot sincet
1963. But when Ohio State and
Michigan State splash into t h e
pool this afternoon, Michigan may
get more than Just a mouthful.
The Buckeyes show strength in
the freestyle a n d backstroke
events, while Michigan State will
have to be reckoned with in the
breaststroke and medley relays.
These two teams will battle Mich-
igan for the runner-up spot, withj
the Buckeyes given an edge ac-
cording to seeded times.
Michigan Diving Coach D i c k
Kimball questioned the accuracy
of the times, "Since it's early in
the season, most of the seeded
times are Just guesses by the
coaches. I suspect that Michigan
can better most of their submit-
ted times."
Kimball continued, "Indiana is
a good bet to win every swimming
event except for the 200 and 400
yard freestyle relays where Ohio
State is strongest. The competi-:
tion in the diving events will be I
among Indiana, Michigan, MSU, I
and Ohio State. If the Michigan
divers dive the way they should,
we'll give Indiana a run for their
money."
When asked if he was worried
about Ohio State beating Michi-
gan, Wolverine Swimming Coach
Gus Stager replied, "Not really,
because we* have good depth. They
have a helluva backstroke relay
just like their freestyle relays. But
we should be able to take them in
butterfly and distance freestyle,
and remember our 400 free relay
of Bello, McCullough, Zahn, and
Norlen will be pretty tough. Also,
one of their best divers Mike Fin-
neran won't be competing."
Besides these four teams, there
will be Minnesota, Wisconsin, Il-'
linois, Iowa, and non-conference
visitor Southern Illinois who faced
the Wolverines in a dual meet last
night. Only Minnesota and South-
ern Illinois h a v e a chance of
cracking the top four places and
their opportunity is limited to the
freestyle relays.
THE MICHIGAN mentor de-
clined to pick a Wolverine victory
in any event observing, "When!
you look at Indiana, it's hard to
see how anybody else can win an
event."
It's difficult to disagree w i t h
his observation, since the Indiana
roster exhibits an array of star
swimmers large enough to form a.
galaxy. In addition to Gary Hall,
who was the only three-time AAU
champion last year, a n d Mark
Spitz who was the sole three-time
NCAA victor, two outstanding
freshman backstrokers have ar-
rived on the Hoosier horizon.
Larry Barbiere and Jack Hors-
ley both won medals at the Olym-
pics in the dorsal event, and Bar-
iere doubles as an individual med-
elyist while Horsley is an excel-
lent distance freestyler.
Rounding out the Hoosier front
line are diver John Hahnfeldt,
distance freestylers Fred South-
ward and Bill Baird, and individ-
ual medleyist George Smith, all of
whom were NCAA finalists last
spring.
But the Hoosiers have so much
depth that any member from the
remainder of the team could eas-
ily be a star swimmer for any oth-
er team in the country.
Wildcats attempt to end '1M' jinx
By ALAN KAUFMAN
Out in the wilds, wolverines
and wildcats rarelytangle. But
when they do, the contest is vic-
ious, with the usual outcome a
victory for the ferocious wolver-
ine.
Following the lead of the ani-
mals which give the teams their
names, Michigan's wrestlers
have maintained a continuous
and sometimes surprising dom-
ination over their foes from
Northwestern. Since 1957, when
Gymnasts ready defense
against Wisconsin attack
Ken Kraft assumed coaching
responsibilities, Northwestern has
been unable to top M's grap-
plers in a dual meet, a record
which Michigan hopes to con-
tinue in today's meet at Evan-
ston.
Kraft wants a dual meet vic-
tory over Michigan-any way he
can get it, it seems. Last year,
the Wolverines beat Northwest-
ern 21-10 in the meet which
counted in the Big Ten records.
Kraft was not satisfied w i t h
.< > this result, and managed to ob-
Stain a rematch at Iowa City,
which resulted in a 15-14 Mich-
igan victory.
Kraft thinks this year's meet
could be as close, because "the
teams have tied in the Big Ten
in the past two years, and we
have no major injuries, j u s t
1l some minor hurts."
Ss Michigan, however, is suffer-
0 ing from disabling injuries to
- team captain Lou Hudson at 134,
e and Tom Quinn at 167 in addi-
g tion to several minor injuries.
e Ty Belknap will wrestle at 134,
and freshman Roger Ritzman
s will go at 167.

The season begins in earnest for
the Wolverine gymnastics team
today as they take on the Wis-
consin Badgers in the E v e n t s
Building. Defending NCAA paral-
lel bars champion Ron Rapper
will lead the young Michigan squad
against the first obstacle in the
path to a successful defense of
their Big Ten title.
Despite strong side horse and
ring teams, Wisconsin is not ex-
pected to provide very stiff op-
position for Coach Newt Loken's
gymnasts. John Russo and Larry
Scully are among the best in the
conference on the side horse, but
get little help from their team-
mates. Dave Lentrey is a stand-
out on the rings, the events where
the Badgers scored highest in last
week's match against Illinois.
Wisconsin's only other reason-
ably strong event is the parallel
bars, where all-around performer.
Don Wallschlaeger and R u s s
lead the way. In each of the re
maining events, the Badgers wer
beaten soundly in the trouncing
they received at the hands of th
Illini,
If Michigan has any worrie
about this meet, it is over th
inexperience of Loken's team. Th
Wolverines, with only three sen
iors on the roster, will send a larg
number of freshmen and sopho
mores into today's meet.
This should be balanced by th
depth the team possesses. As Lok
en says, "We have so many fin
gymnasts in each event it will b
hard to decide who to, count." H
hopes, however, to have some per
form even though they will no
count, giving .them experience un
der some pressure.
be 150, where Michigan's Lane
Headrick faces Northwestern's
Clyde Smith. Although Headrick
finished second in the Midlands,
ahead of Smith, both wrestlers
lost to MSU's Ron Oullet in
overtime.
Kraft feels another crucial
match is at 118, where North-
western freshman Mark Massery
faces Midlands champion Jer-
ry Hoddy. Massery was a highly
touted high school wrestler, who,
according to Kraft, "looked good
at the beginning of the year, and
has come on strong after wrest-
ling badly at the Midlands."
BAY AGREES that the 118
match could be close, but he
feels that the crucial weights
will be 158 and 167. Michigan's
Jim Sanger will face Bill Laur-
sen, who has won both of their
previous encounters. However,
in last year's dual meet with
Minnesota, Sanger provided
a crucial victory against a
wrestler who had ,previously de-
feated him.
The 167 match is a confronta-
tion between youth and exper-
ience. Michigan freshman Ritz-
man, wrestling his first varsity
match, faces senior Roger Ze-
man, in what could prove to be
the meet's deciding match.
Michigan will start another
freshman in addition to Ritz-
man, Rick Bolhouse, at heavy-
weight. Rounding out the Mich-
igan lineup are Tim Cech at 126,
Belknap at 134, Mark King at
142, Lane Headrick at 150, Jesse
Rawls at 177, and Therlon Har-
ris at 190.

IN ADDITION to injury prob-
lems, Michigan has been in-
consistent. Acknowledging this
problem, Assistant Coach Rick
Bay says "our chances of vic-
tory may depend on the kind of
day we have." Bay feels t h e
Northwestern team will be fired
up for the meet, particularly be-
cause "Kraft has never beaten
us, so they'll be out to get us."
Kraft feels the crucial match-
es will be at 134, 142, and 150.
