Executive Sports Editort
The Wolverine gymnasts won
'nearly everything at the Big TenI
preliminaries last night.'
Nearly everything, that is.
The one thing they lost was the
one thing they wanted most, a
chance to compete in the NCAA
Championships.
Even worse, Michigan failed in
its bid to become the conference
representative to the nationals by;
0.45 points after battling back
from a 2.5 point deficit.
The final score overall was
Michigan 188.55, Iowa 186.55. The
final score on the six events which'
count for the NCAA's was Idwa
161.55, Michigan 161:10..
Because of the preliminary re-
sults, the Wolverines, the Hawk-
eyes, and the third-place finisher
Illini will compete in today's team
finals at 2 p.m.
In addition, Michigan has al-
ready swept the all-around com-
petition and placed a large por-
tion of the team in tomorrow's in-
dividual competition at 7:30 p.m.
Michigan took first and second
place in the all-around competi-
tion with Rick McCurdy winning
with 99.775 points and Sid Jen-
sen second with 99.000 points.
Iowa's Bob Dickson was third af-
ter his 98.65 score.

The trampoline team, including
Huntzicker, who thought he could
compete, swamped the rest of the
conference, with Jacobs winning,
Tim Wright placing second, and
the injured Huntzicker tying for
third. Unfortunately, the e v e n t
does not count for NCAA compe-
tition.
Then, came a spectacular last
ditch effort by Michigan. While
the high bar team only could
total 26.85, Iowa's four perform-
ers all put out mediocre showings
and the Wolverines picked tip 0.9
points, coming within 1.10 points
of the Hawkeyes.
The parallel bars nearly gave
Iowa a coronary attack. Jenson
had an 8.9, Ron Rapper a 9.25,
and Rick Richards pulled a new
dismount out of his bag of tricks
and nailed a 9.35.
Iowa needed a 26.5 total to de-
feat Michigan for NCAA qualifi-
cation.
Fortunately for the Hawkeyes
they were able to tally a 26.90
total to slip past the Wolverines.

Wolverines' season debut was a
testing of unexperienced mounds-

the starter and loser.
Burton was replaced in the g

John Ritter. The most experienced
pitcher of the day for the Wol-

pitched the final two innings.
Krug was in one game last year.
The Wolverine staff gave up three
homers' to the Cowboys, one each
in the sixth, seventh, and eighth

Today Arizona State will at-

record in an afternoon double-
