THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SLV9N THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1966 THE MICHiGAN DAIlY AL "%A Al 0 G I L' lr r. rr r- Gymnasts Clash with Unbeaten Illinois CO-OP By HOWARD KOHN If you happen, to be tuned in to station WLFD, channel 6, Cliicago, on Friday evening, you will see previews of the Big Ten gymnas- tics championship - unbeaten Michigan battling unbeaten Il- linois. Or if you don't have access to a mile-high antenna and aren't too hep on hitchhiking to the Windy City, wander on down to the IM Building and see the show in living color. The meet starts at 6:30, there is no admission charge and, besides, Batman won't be on until next Wednesday. :Barring a surprise supper visit from Lieut. Gen. Hershey, the meet_ l could be the most exciting event on Friday's agenda for Michigan folk. And it's the sea- son's last one at home. Tie-Up Michigan has outmuscled four 1 Big Ten teams so far this season, averaging about 185 points per meet 'in defense of its five-year hold on the championship. The llini, always a top contender be- cause of the emphasis homestate high schools place on the sport, have been only a shade less im- pressive in rolling to four con- secutive wins with an average of 183. While the statisticians are add- ing up the total points for each team Friday, both coaches will be noting and filing names and per- formances in their heads, looking for a pattern of clues to lead to that conference crown. But while all the figuring is going on and the pencils are press- ing hard to make the triplicate carbon copy distinct, it will be the gymnasts-the individual men and their individual routines-spelling out the answers. Undefeated Bouncers On the trampoline, Michigan's national champion sophomore Wayne Miller, undefeated in six dual meets, will face Illinois' "Cookie" Rollo, also a sophomore and also undefeated. Miller ranks second in the Mid-East in action through last weekend with a 9.5 average (John Schmitz of South- ern Illinois is first with 9.55), while Rollo is sixth with 8.97. In addition, Wolverine Vic Con- ant' rates seventh 'with 8.95, pre- dicting a close battle for the top finish. "The caliber of the athletes in this meet should bring out the b e s t performances," indicated Michigan gymnastics coach Newt Loken. "It should certainly have a positive effect on the total score. I think the winning team, and perhaps both teams, will break 190." The high bar promises to be one of the tighter highscoring events with a grudge match shaping up between Illini captain Bill Silhan and Wolverine Gary Vander Voort. Silhan, in his senior year, is cur- rently third in the Mid-East with a 9.2 point average, while the jun- ior from Michigan is .15 behind in fourth place. Title Prelude The Vander Voort-Silhan match Friday could be a prelude to the fight for the all-around Big Ten title since Silhan is now second and Vander Voort third in regional standings. Michigan State, which is also unbeaten and is the next and last opponent for Michigan after the Illini, boasts the leading all-around gymnast in Dave Thor. Vander Voort will be challenged by Illinois' Rollo and teammate Ken Williams on the parallel bars.' Rollo is 3-1 on the 'P' bars in the conference, and Williams plac- ed second, ahead of Vander Voort, in last weekend's triangular with Iowa and Indiana. Highly Improved "Ken has been one of our most improvedb oys recently," cited Loken. Williams moved a notch ahead of Vander Voort in the sea- son ratings on the strength of last weekend to sixth place. Art Baessler, who has turned into a consistent performer on the side horse after last year's erratic, injury-influenced showings, has two firsts, a second and a third in Michigan's four conference wins. On Friday he meets his toughest test thus far, John Eliason, Il- linois' only high finisher (2nd) in the Big Ten championships last year. Eliason was rated "among the best in the nation" by his coach, and is scheduled to be back after sitting out the last two meets with a bad elbow. In vaulting, Michigan's Chip Fuller and Cliff Chilvers are tied for seventh in the regionals with 9.25 averages. In floor exercise, Chip's twin brother Phil owns the most impressive record of meet performances this year with. six firsts in six meets. Senior Rich Blanton, given "a good shot at the Big Ten title on' the side horse," has recovered with the poise of the veteran competitor from a disastrous ninth place showing in the first meet of the year with four first places in the other five meets. Michigan, as a team, has achiev- ed the coveted goal of a 9.0 aver- age per event for the top three finishers only once this season- amassing 191.3 points for a 9.1 average against Wisconsin. Illi- nois, incidentally, whipped Wis- consin 182.4-173.5. "If we do as well as we did against Wisconsin, and I'm con- fident we can, we should win against Illinois," predicted Loken yesterday. In preparation for Fri- day's meet he staged an evening workout with all the aspects of a formal meet last night. As Loken pointed out in the team's motto for the day, "Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit."

Martin, a 22-year-old center aquired from the Red Wings in a trade for Parker MacDonald Jan. 1, turned on his former teammates four points behind the league lead- ing Chicago Black Hawks, who de- feated New York 5-2. NEW YORK-Chicago's Bobby Hull returned to the Black Hawks' line-up and blistered his 46th goal of the season last night as the National Hockey League leaders: whipped the hapless New York Rangers 5-2. Hull, who mised last Sunday's game with New York with strain- ed knee ligaments and was sup- posed to be out of the line-up for another week, took a full turn and killed penalties as well. He scored Chicago's first goal in the open- ing period on the hardest shot of the night, a 45-footer that whistled past New York goalie Ed Gia- comin. for his 13th, 14th and of the season. 15th goals CAPTAIN NED DUKE of the gymnastics team demonstrates a routine on the rings.

This is where you separate the champions from i the also-rans. From now on, every team in the conference must play twice aweek for three weeks. And coming "into the long stretch of the Big Ten basketball race, Mich- igan leads by a nose with Michigan State in a good position to attain a tie. Said Coach Dave Strack yester- day, "The team that wins it will win it themselves; and it's going to take a lot of stamina and cour- age." He added, "We like to think our enthusiasm will carry us." Blue Improved One obvious factor about the race that must'have all of the Big Ten worrying is the improvement shown by the Wolverines. After a questionable start and a loss to Illinois, the Michigan team seems only to have regained its poise and established itself in a dominant position. The past several games, against Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin have seen the change in the Wolverines from an erratic to a more steady, smooth-playing, and winning team. Before the Michigan cagers get that secure feeling which is a sure sign of trouble they should look at, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan State. The loss to Iowa Tuesday nigl t dampened, the kindling but did not extinguish the fire of hope burning in the hearts of all Gopher fans. Like the "Illini, the Gophers are only two games behind and have the advantage over Illinois and MSU of going to the NCAA in case of a tie, since they never have gone. And only one game behind the wolverines are Michigan State's Spartans, the surprise of the league in both football and basket- ball.. . Require Depth From nowuon, however, the depth of a team's bench and the depth of spirit of a team's mem- bers will be important factors. Coach Strack commented that "having to rely on the bench will be a positive factor to our ad- vantage." As the games come fast- er and the final efforts are turned out by all, the top four very likely will look to a strong bench with anticipation, but it's up to the starters to win. And, so far no one in the conference has been as good at winning as the Michigan five. Among the team's in the lower half of the conference comes what has been the true enigma of the Big Ten, Iowa's Hawkeyes. "What happened to Iowa?" is a common question. The Hawkeyes suddenly dropped from a contending posi- tion and have been relegated to the spoiler's role. As potentially one of the most dangerous teams in the Big Ten, the Hawkeye five could easily win the Spoiler-of- the-Month award, for they face the Wolverines twice in February. Although not as fearsome as Iowa, both Northwestern and Ohio State are darkhorses. Still, the two are feared for the last des- perate wounds that they might inflict' on an unsuspecting op- ponent. Coach Strack must still remember the loss to a mediocre Ohio State team in last year's Big Ten finale. Purdue, Wisconsin and Indiana, as representatives of the basement community have been relegated al- most beyond the spoiler's situa- tion to that of the forgotten "Les Miserables." Scanning the s c e n e Coach Strack could only comment, "It's so hard to make a prediction. The only team that I know a lot about is our own. We are ready to make a good stretch run. The boys are playing well and will do all that's possible to win it." 'Sound insulated construction UflIV(RSITY TOW(RS r Now renting for Aug. S. UNIVERSITY AVE.,& FORESTAVE.
