RABIDEAUClOT HEARR I S By TOM WITECKI Heading for the Sunny South within the next few days will be gymnastics coach Newt Loken and nine members of his Wolverine squad who will be competing at the Annual Winter Gymnastics Clinic at Sarasota, Fla. The contingent, which includes trampolinists Ed Cole and Frank Newman, tumblers Bill Skinner and Jimmy Brown, and all-around gymnasts Nino Marion, Wolfgang Dozauer, Al Stall, Bill Lawler andt Richard Montpetit, is the largest' Michigan ever has entered in the five day clinic. One of the highlights of the! clinic which runs from December 26-30 will be the annual North- South meet which this year will be conducted by Loken. Trampolinist Cole,.Big Ten titlist the past two years, will be seeking to retain the North-South trampoline crown which he won in last year's meet.

The cen- terfielder and occasional pitcher is passing up his final year with the "M" nine. 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.
