passing up his final year with the

The Injury jinx: .
The fast-becoming-usual fate of
top Michigan athletes the past
year has become the injury role.
The 1958 football team lost almost
half its startersat some time
during the fall, and many other
squads were bothered by loss of
top men.
Perhaps the most unfortunate of
these 1958 injuries was that of Ed
Gagnier, captain of the gymnastics
team and a top bidder for both Big
Ten and NCAA all-around titles.
* * *
A Coming Thing .. .
Michigan's track team, final local
story that deserves special note, is
somewhat of an undercover nature
during the 1958 year, but should
be really big in 1959.
Sporting a fabulous freshmanI
squad last spring (rivaled onlyj
by the present one), track coach'
Don Canham is on his way to an-
other string of Big Ten, and per-
haps NCAA, titles. Of course, there
are those who would like to make
one of next year's big stories the
banning of foreign athletes from
competition.
The 'Big News' .. .
Although many of the Michigan
sports stories made the national
press, there was one in particular
that leaped on the wires from
coach to coast.
Jack Lewis and Tony Rio, two
varsity athletes, were caught pass-
ing parlay cards ,during football
season. This was apparently some-
thing that everyone in the United
