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. ~ By JERRY CLARKE I 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.

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. The closest of these three could 316 S. State St.. Since 1883 NO 2-5669 Ii I II Now! You Can UP!
