THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, February 21, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, February 21, 1970 Grapplers oppose potent Spartans -u By AL KAUFMAN Michigan's wrestling team will face its most difficult test of the year today at 3 p.m. in East Lan- sing at Jenison Fieldhouse when they go up against Michigan State, currently ranked third in the na- tion. The Wolverines were ranked seventh at the beginning of the season, but injuries, eligibility problems, and inexperience have caused the grapplers to lose this lofty perch. Nevertheless, the meet promises to be a good one. Michigan State Coach Grady Peninger notes that Michigan should be favored in the 177-pound bracket, and adds up that the matchups at 118, 150, and 126 should be toss-ups. This leaves six weight classes, and Peninger feels that State will be favored in all of them. HE ADDS quickly ,however, that in a match between Michigan and MSU, "it's just like flipping a coin-you hope everything i comes out OK." Michigan Coach Cliff Keen agrees that a Michigan victory would be an upset, and explains, "State has more state champions on their second string then we have starting." State is indeed loaded. Five Big Ten champions return from last year's squad, as do two others who placed in the conference, and only three of these returnees have been able to hold onto their starting positions. THEY ARE Jack Zindel, last year's 177 pound Big Ten cham- pion who is wrestling at 190 this year; Pat Karslake, who was fourth in the conference at 167 pounds last year and is currently undefeated; and Keith Lowrance,I last year's Big Ten champ at 137, whose only loss this year in the 142-pound bout has come at the hands of Iowa State's fabled Dan Gable. Zindel will face Michigan's Therlon Harris, who has previous- ly wrestled a close match with the MSU senior, while Karslake will face Tom Quinn in what could be a very close match based on com- parative performances against common opponents. Lowrance will lock up with Michigan's Mark King, in what could be a lopsided Spartan victory. IN ADDITION to the 167 bout between Karslake and Quinn, Wolverine hopes could be bolstered in the 134-pound and 158-pound brackets. Michigan sophomore Ty Belknap faces highly touted fresh- man Tom Milkovich in the 134- pound class, which will be close if. recent performance is a guide. Milkovich eked out a one point win over Iowa's Don Briggs, while Belknap was deprived of a tie with Briggs by a referee's decision. The 158 pounders, Jim Sanger from Michigan, and either Tom Muir or George Radman from MSU, may also find themselves embroiled in a close contest. The key to this match will be the emo- tional levels reached by the con- testants, as eaCh has managed to lose matches he was expected to win; and vice versa. Other close match-ups include those at 118, where Jerry Hoddy faces Spartan Greg Johnson; 126, where Wolverine Jim Hagan will face either Lon Hicks or last year's Big Ten runner-up, Gary Bissel; and 150, where Lane Headrick faces MSU's Ron Qullet. MICHIGAN'S JESSE RAWLS will be favored in his match with State's Dave Ciolek at 177, while Green Giant heavyweight Vic. Mittelberg, who won the Macca- biah Games championship last year in Israel, is favored in his bout with Michigan heavyweight Rick Bolhouse. Bolhouse, who will be the last Wolverine to compete, might pull an upset if the meet depends on his performance, because he has proven in the past to be a clutch performer in tight spots. * * * Illini confront Wolverines; Gymnasts end home season By CHRIS TERAS Remember those frivolous days leading up to November 22, 1969? There was a football team from Columbus, Ohio that supposedly could give the then-mighty Min- nesota Vikings a good run f o r their money. Also during those aforemen- tioned days there w a s another football squad from Ann Arbor. This Ann Arbor group was con- sidered good competition for the Buckeyes, but n o t nearly good enough (After all, t h e Vikings were a super team). Of course fans everywhere believed Ann Ar- bor didn't "stand a chance," in- cluding the Toledo U. student who took -Columbus and gave 28 points (He lost). EVEIYONE IS aware of the re- sult of the November meeting, but PURSUE BADGERS wolverines seek to track down win By DALE ARBOUR The track team heads to Madi- son, Wisconsin today in what should prove to be one of the most important meets of the en- tire season. The thinclads will be trying to maintain a perfect'life- time record against the Badgers, plus they will be trying to defeat the defending Big Ten Champion of the past two years. -Daily-Nancy wechsler Rick Bolhouse rides OSU's heavyweight Paul Schmidlin Pt This will prove to be no easy task because Wisconsin has al- most the entire team back from last year, and where they did suf- fer from graduation, new run- ners have sometimes more than adequately replaced them. LEADING Wisconsin will be Greg "Grape Juice" Johnson who will be competing in four events -the 70-yard high hurdles, 70- yard low hurdles, 60-yard dash, and the long jump. His bests in the above events are :08.6 in the highs, :07.8in the lows, :06.3 in the 60, and 24'11" in the long jump. Michigan will send Godfrey Murray and Greg Sypax against Johnson in the hurdles events, Gene Brown in the 60, and I r a Russell and Mark Rosenbaum in the long jump. Murray has run :08.5 in the highs and :08.0 in the lows, while Syphax has run :08.2 in the lows. In the 60, Brown has a definite advantage since he has a best time of :06.0 in this event. Russell has jumped 24' while Ros- enbaum has gone 22'5" in the long jump, so they will have their work cut out for them against Johnson. ALL OF the remaining events will be pretty evenly matched with either Michigan or Wisconsin having a slight advantage. Wisconsin will be strong in the middle distance and distance events, plus the high jump and triple jump, while Michigan shows its strength in the shorter dis- tances and the rest of the field events. The strongest show of force by Wisconsin will be in the 880 yard run, where they have Mark Win- zenreid (1:50.0) and Don Vandrey (1:51.2). They will oppose Paul Armstrong who has turned in two 1:51.2 times so far this season.. Michigan appears to be strong- est in the shot put and pole vault. Giulio Catallo (54'31") and Paul Toran (49'3") have a definite ad- vantage over Wisconsin's top shot- putter, John Dittburner, who has a best toss of 47'.7 IN THE pole vault, Michigan will be without the services of their top vaulter, Larry Wolfe, who is suffering from a leg injury. However, Michigan's second vault- er, Ron Shortt, still has a foot ad- vantage over Wisconsin's top vaulter, with a best of 15'6". Michigan's distance events will be led by Rick Storrey and Norm Cornwell in the 1000-yard run, Phil Pyatt in the mile, and Ken "The Goat" How in the two-mile run. In the shorter distances, Michi- gan will have George Drew and Lorenzo Montgomery in the 440, Eric Chapman and John Lowe in the 600, and Trevor Matthews and Gene Brown in the 300. THE FINAL two events of the meet which show stiff competition are the high jump and the triple jump. In the high jump, John Mann has a best jump of 6'10%" and will face Wisconsin's Pat Mat- zdorf (7'0") and Joan Huff (6'10"). If Warren Bechard is healthy in the triple jump, he has the pos- sibility of going 48'8" which is as far as his nearest competitor from Wisconsin has gone. To add to the importance of this meet, the Michigan track squad has not lost a dual meet since February 1, 1964, and there- fore must win this meet if they want to continue their win streak. Otherwise, a new win streak will have to begin next weekend against Michigan State. Daily Official Bulletin SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21 Day.

General Notices Phi Beta Kappa Annual Business not so many are aware that the Michigan gymnastics team is in a position today similar to that of Columbus. Following the basketball gam today, at about 4:15 p.m., Illinois will take the Events Bldg. floor to challenge what in a y be the greatest U.S. collegiate gym squad of all time. No other school has come close to their record 164.5 set earlier this season at, of all places Columbus. Illinois, on the other hand, should be included among the top five or six teams in the country since they have scored in the 160's. Michigan carries a string of 30 straight dual meet victories into today's match but the, Illini are also undefeated this season. Thus, the Wolverines are cast as the un- beatables and Illinois, the "not- quite-good-enoughs." CAN THE Illini upset Michigan? Such an occurence doesn't appear likely. The home surroundings in addition. to the caliber of the comk petition should be sufficient to easily propel the Wolverines past the opposition. Furthermore, for four seniors, today's appearance will be their last at home. The four include the following: Captain RonRapper, NCAA Par- allel Bars Champion, Georges Huntzicker, 1968 NCAA Trampo- line Champion, 1969 NAAU Tram- poline Champion, and 1969 final- ist in the NCAA floor exercise championships, all-arounded Sid Jensen, 1969 runnertup to Michi- gan junior, Rick McCurdy, for the Big Ten all-around title, and BlltV Mackie, a transfer who may very well have been able to compete on a regular basis at all-around with any other team in thecountry. COMMENTING ON his lineup today Coach Newt token said he wasn't planning a n y drasti changes from the combination that has scored under 162 only twice this year. He did, however, express caution about the match. "Meets are won on each suc- cessive weekend," he said, "not on past laurels." Such caution is not unwarranted because dual meets# count one-hadf towards the con- ference championship. Thus, a team winning the dual meet race, but finishing second in the Big Ten meet to the dual meet run- ner-up, could tie for the title. To derail the Michigan express, Illinois will send a talented linev up that includes Ken- Barr, who has scored an unbelievable 9.85 on the tricky side horse.
