Saturday, February 15, 1"569 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, February 15, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY rage e Gymnasts, Spartans, Hoosiers plan upset for '/11 gymnasts natmen share twin bill 'M' Wrestlers attempt overthrow of MSU hold By ANDY BARBAS The Michigan gymnasts usually have tp worry about losing two meets avery year: Michigan State and Iowa. This afternoon, the Wolverines' tangle with the Spartans and the Hoosiers of Indiana in the first round of a sports double-header in t h e Events building at 1:30. Unfortunately, the battle may not be the neck-and-neck race it us- ually is. The Spartans have suffered greatly this year from graduation and injuries. As a result, only a poor Michigan showing a n d an outstanding State showing could give the Spartans a victory. Indiana, a perennially weak team, was hurt even more this year by injuries. They are not ex- pected to give either of the other two teams a challenge. What the meet lacks in a team climax, however, it should make up for in the individual battles. Th big duel 6f the afternoon should be in the floor Iexercise. Dave. Jacobs, Michigan's NCAA champion two years ago, will meet State's Toby Towson, current holder of the NCAA title. L a s t season, Jacobs was hampered by sore ankles and competed o n 1 y sparingly in the event. He didn't even qualify for t h e nationals. This season both competitors have had excellent scores, Towson per- haps a little better with his 9.45 average. Michigan State Coach Geprge daily sports, NIGHT EDITOR: JOE MARKER By PAT ATKINS Following the gymnasts today at the Events Building Michigan I wrestler Tim Cech will step onto the mat to face Michigan State's Gary Bissell, thus beginning what has to be the Wolverines tough- est meet this year. In taking on defending Big Ten champion Michigani State at 3:30 this afternoon, the Wolverines will use a slightly modified line-up. They'd undoubtedly like to force some modifications in the Spar- tan line-up; too, f o r State will probably use the same matmen that handily decisioned contender Iowa by an 18-9 score a week ago in East Lansing. Michigan lost to Iowa earlier in the season at Iowa City, 22-8, but Assistant Coach Rick B a y pre- dicted at that time, "We can beat Iowa. We just didn't wrestle very well." Today the Wolverines can lend weight to that claim. B u t for Michigan to beat State "will take a superlative effort," says Coach Cliff Keen. "There's nothing on their team that's weak. They have some awful top-notch boys." Bay adds, "Coach Keen has had teams in the past that have had to overcome rough odds. This will have to be one of those times." In an effort to place the most favorable odds on their side, the Michigan coaches have altered the Wolverine line-up somewhat. Regulars 123-pound Cech, 130- pound Lou Hudson, Geoff Henson at 137, 145-pound M i k e Rubin, and 152-pound Lane Headrick will Szypula feels, "Toby is so great that almost nobody in the coun- try can approach him. The only collegian who cari come near him is Michigan's Dave Jacobs." Jacobs, though, might be at some sort of a disadvantage be- cause he is recovering from a pul- - led muscle in his leg. At the be- ginning of the week, Coach Newt FOWL SHO': Loken was not sure that he would let Jacobs compete in the event. He later decided that he would be' well enough to compete. Mihgan hog, a be ag very fortunate compared to Mich- igan State or Indiana as far as injuries are concerned. Michigan By CHRIS TERAS Dave JacobS rs shoot fo Iowa Big Ten Standings -1 States Joe Fedorchik, their top all-arounder, pulled a ligament in his arm and is out for the season. Cliff Diehl, a top parallel and high bar performer injured his shoulder and will also miss the neet. One of Indiana's all-around men, Gary Funke, also has an in-' jured shoulder and probably won t compete. Their parallel bar man, Bob Witmer is also out, as is an- other mul tiple-event performer, Chuck Earle. These injuries will leave both the Spartans and t h e Hoosiers with a severe depth problem. Mich- igan, on the other hand, is over- stocked in many events and Loken is having to choose between pos- sible performers. Should a n y Michigant entrant slip during a iroutine it will fiot be anywhere near as serious as if an opponent has a. slip. Because of his depth, Coach Lo- ken is not concerned about losing too many events. "Besides t h e floor exercise," he commented, "We may be threatened in t h e sidehorse or possibly the high bar. Other than that, we will probably have a definite advantage." Towson and Dennis Smith are the Spartan's backbone on t'h e sidehorse, while Norm Haynie hays been undefeated this season on the'high bar.: TOBY TOWSON DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN " .:;:;..:?it .. ..rM":":?-i' r?? 1 . 1;":. ."1V V ^' 1.... . :.... .

But after Michigan's breathtaking 92-87 win over Il- linois last Tuesday, the Wolverines must come down to business at 9:00 tonight in. Iowa City. Michigan beat the tenth-ranked Illini with spectacular passes, tor- rid shooting from the field, and clutch defense in the game's ten- sest moments. Bob Sullivan has become ,the first "Wizard of Oohs" since Mr. C. L. Russell ruled Yost Field House. "Sully" seemed to spend more time in the air than on the court with his un- believable passes and his floating, driving layups. If Sullivan was not busy making three or four simultaneous mid air moves, Rudy Tomjanovich was most likely firing antoff balance shot from 25 feet through the hoop with uncanny accuracy. Be- sides this offensive magic, Sul- livan, Dan Fife, and Dennis Ste- wart fought tirelessly through 40 minutes of violent rebounding ac- tion with the awesome Illinois front line. Though Iowa has nothing to compare with the Illini's muscle, the Wolverines must come down out of the clouds long enough to try to concentrate on blasting the high-flying Hawkeye offense off the court. Coach Ralph Miller claims that "this may be the best offensive team I've ever had." Iowa is averaging 84.1 points per game this season, but "defense is the thing that has killed us this year," according 'to the Hawk mentor.I Miller feels that defenses are built during preseason practice be- cause, "during the season, two games a week doesn't leave much time for practice." Perhaps Michi- h gan could have used some more t practice, too, as the. Wolverines v have given up an average of 89.3 c markers an outing. John Orr, on tle other hand,; does not seem overly concerned about stopping the opposition's' point production. "We will goc with our 1-3-1 zone, and don't I plan to make any changes." The Hawk's leading scorer this year is Ben McGilmer with a 19.0 average, but Orr stated that "Jensen is j' their only scoring weakness." Orr said he expected Iowa to s run their full court zone press to- night all the way. But Miller is not so sure that his cagers will be f .pressuring the entire game. They will, however, be in their usual r "man-to-man pressuring defense." I Since the Hawk mentor called r Charter Flights to EUROPE I.A. T.A.

State Minnesota Wisconsin Northwestern Miller has not forgotten about the Wolverines' past s u c c e s s against the Hawkeyes. Earlier this season, the' score found them on the short- end of a 99-92 overtime contest in Ann Arbor. But the cruelest blow came last March at Iowa City when the 11-70 final knocked them into a fateful play- off with Ohio State. The Wolverines would like noth- ing more than to sink the Hawk- eyes once again, as Iowa can ill afford another loss in the race for ' the Big Ten title. The Hawks dropped two crucial conference tilts to "'Purdue and Illinois while playing' on the road A and just barely escaped from Northwestern i an overtime. Combined with their earlier loss to Michigan in' the Events Build- ing, it has pust Iowa in a precari- s .. ';.. t ous position.

(A') - Spring training for strike-threatened big league baseball opened yesterday as a rookie-dominated Chicago White Sox, squad of 21 battery- men showed up for a two-hour workout. The group included only 12 rostered /players and only two in the non-rookie class-veteran cat- cher Russ Nixon and relief pitcher Dan Osinski, neither regarded as a first-litne performer. In all, 15 pitchers and 6 catchers were in uniform. The rest of the majors' 24 clubs are scheduled to open training; next week. The earlier White Sox start was planned because the club' has a March 2-5 goodwill tour scheduled for Mexico City., Manager Al Lopez, making a comeback of sorts, after retiring three seasons ago, greeted the group with the comment: "It's business as usual for anybody who shows up. I think things will be worked out because all players are anxious to get started." Among notable rookie absentees were pitchers Gerald Nyman, re- portedly unhappy with his con- tract, and Danny Lazar, who ap- parently has sided with the dis- sident Major League Players As- sociation over pension financing. With the exception of Nixon and Osinski, none of the reporting players has a year's major league service and thus they don't quali- fy for association membership.
