NEIL FEFERMAN Bolstered by a solid third place finish in the Midlands Open Championships over the holidays, Michigan's wrestlers undertake defense of the Big Ten title which they have held for the past three years. Saturday's- quadrangular meet, in which the Wolverines play host to Indiana, Iowa, and Toledo, opens the regular season. Mich- igan meets Indiana at 2:00 in the main pavilion of the IM building, while Toledo contests with Iowa. In the second part of this "double- header," the Blue faces Iowa. The matches are open to the public, with students admitted free of charge. Steal Crown Although last year's champion, Iowa State, the Wolverines of the national stripped Midlands 1215 S. University 761-0712 Right next to University Towers crown which they had worn for two consecutive seasons, Coach Cliff Keen termed his team's per- formance "very gratifying." Six{ men finished fourth or better ast Michigan outscored every other Western Conference school which competed. "Overall the boys looked very good, considering that it was their initial meet of the season," Keen commented Tuesday. "The com- petition we faced was quite tough, but the boys performed well If we start from there and work up. .. Keen got a particularly strong performance from the lightweight on the squad, junior Bob Fehrs, who was runner-up in the national championships last year. Wrestl- ing at 123 pounds, Fehrs encount- ered Olympic world champion Masakki Hatta in the final round, and "gave him a real good battle," according to Keen. Fehrs gained a takedown on Hatta and man- aged to turn him on his back for a time before eventually losing by decision. Two at 130 Two men competed at 130 pounds-Gordon Weeks and Dave Dozeman. Weeks, who has had no previous meet experience, man- aged to capture fourth place in his weight class, though he wrestled unattached since Dozeman offi- cially represented Michigan. Co-captain B ill Johannesen, looking somewhat haggard after cutting his weight to 137, gained a fourth place finish. Billy Jo led with 20 seconds remaining in the match but succumbed to the eventual champion. Veteran Cal Jenkins proved to be Michigan's lone individual champion, when he captured first in the f47 pound division. Jenkins wrestled first string most of last year, though injuries kept him from competing in the Big Ten meet, Loses in Finals At 157, Big Ten champ Jim Kammen lost in the finals to take second place.

Associated Press final poll votes were being tabulated overnight. MSU: Just Ratings? "I've always thought the regu- lar season should be taken into account," said MSU Athletic Director Biggie Munn. "A bowl game is just like another season, especially after the players are laid off for a month." "But we're not crying over spilt milk and have no com- plaint on the vote," Munn add- ed. "We learned the lesson again that any team can be beaten and no team can rest on its laurels." Spartan Coach Duffy Dau- gherty was recuperating on the West Coast after the defeat and was not immediately available for comment. 1. Alabama (37)..........9-1-1 2.
