TO PLAY IN TOURNEY:
Four Wolverines Join AAU Cage Team Gymnast Duke Serves as

The final buzzer at Iowa City
Saturday night supposedly marked
the end of 1965-66 competition for
the Wolverine, cagers, but four
Michigan seniors have decided to
have another go at it next week
at the National AAU tournament
in Denver,
All-America Cazzie Russell leads
the quartet that includes. captain
Oliver Darden, John Clawson and
John Thompson. They will join
the roster of the Ford Mustangs,
which is sponsored by the Ford
division. The team will begin prac-
tice tomorrow at University of De-
troit High School.
The squad is coached by Hor-
ace Walker, a former member of
the Michigan State five. Walker
led the Spartans to their last un-
disputed Big Ten championship in
1959, when he cracked the confer-
ence mark for total rebounds in
one season with 259, a number
that still remains in the record
books.
A well-known and experienced
mentor in AAU play, Walker was
named the AAU coach of the year
last season when he led the Denver
Capitol Federal team to second
place in the tourney.
The four Wolverine starters will
augment an already strong group
of area talent. Other players pre-
viously lined up for the Mustangs
are paced by the high-scoring MSU
duo, Stan Washington and Bill#
Curtis, who led the Spartans to
the runner-up spot in the Big
Ten.
Other Mustang players are Dorie
Murrey, who received honorable
mention on several All-American
squads, and Lou Hyatt, both of
Detroit; Ollie Johnson, former
University of San Francisco All-
America; Randy Gethis, former
NAIA All-America from Rider Col-
lege; in addition to Larry Tre-
goning, last year's Wolverine cap-
tain, and Lance Olson, a former
Michigan State starter.
Sixteen teams will participate
in the finals, which are slated to
begin on Sunday and run through
March 23.
By BILL LEVIS
The captain of a sport is sup-
posedly a leader. He does not have
to be the greatest athlete, rather
Ssomeonewho his fellow teammates
can look to for inspiration.
Ned Duke was chosen captain
of the gymnastics team last year
by his fellow teammates. Duke is
not the most talented member of
Big Ten champs. Still, he was
elected captain because he has the
attributes of a leader. As Duke put
it himself, "as the captain, I am
everyone's friend. My job is to
get the team happy, ready. You
could sort of call me the spark-
plug of the team."
As captain, Duke is also a
quasi-asistant to Coach Newt
Loken. Loken says, "Ned Duke
has been an excellent captain this
year. He has shown a keen in-
terest in his teammates routines
and subsequently has made some
fine comments on the ways of im-
proving their methods."
Duke hails from Chicago, Ill.
When in high school, he was ex-
tremely interested in both wrestl-
ing and gymnastics. He partici-
pated in both sports but decided
before college to concentrate his
efforts solely on gymnastics. It is
a decision that he has not re-
greted.
This year, Duke has concen-
trated on the still rings. and the
parallel bars. Though he hasn't
finished high in most of the meets,
he was performing with the na-
tion's best. Michigan has many
brilliant performers in these two
events. In the parallel bars, the
Maize and Blue are led by Gary
Vander Voort and Ken Williams.
Williams finished second in the
Big Ten championships while
Vander Voort copped a third. In
the still rings, senior Rich Blan-
ton pulled down a second in the
conference championships while
Vander Voort, competing in the
all-around, finished fifth.
Satisfied Coach
Coach Loken has been happy
with Duke's performance this sea-
son. Loken noted, "His perform-
ance has been up to its peak and
it just so happens that he has
been overshadowed by some pow-
erful performers. Thus, Ned hasn't I
been in the winning circles too
many times."
During the four years that Duke
has attended Michigan, the Wol-
verine gymnasts have collected
four Big Ten championships and
one NCAA crown. The NCAA
championship was won in Duke's
freshman year in 1963.
The gymnasts head for Chicago
this Friday to participate in NCAA
regionals. Duke's goal before he
graduates is that coveted national
title. If the Wolverines do well in
the regionals the team will travel
to Penn State for the NCAA
finals. To make it to the finals,
Michigan has to finish among the
top three teams in a regional that
features Michigan State, Illinois,
Iowa and the ever dangerous
Southern Illinois squad.
Biggest Thrill
Duke's greatest thrill during his
c a r e e r was Michigan's sixth
straight Big Ten gymnastic title,
this month, edging out Michigan
State. "I have been on the squad
for three championships and this
was the greatest team effort ever,"
he explained. "It was the greatest again next year. He explained,
moment of my career." "We are losing only three seniors

Loken. "Our team is a real group, seven trampolinists next year and
a solid unit. The championship two of them, Wayne Miller and

-Future Plans
Duke plainly loves the sport.
Tliough he doesn't plan to coach,
he feels gymnastics will always be
a part of his life. After gradua-
tion, dental school will fill his
time.
When asked about the future
of the Michigan gymnastics team,
Duke thinks that they can win
tive council of the 'M' club and is
a member of a senior honorary
fraternity.
As he looks back on his Mich-
igan experience, Ned Duke com-
ments, "It's been a great four
years. I have been here four years
and the gymnastics team has
earned four championships."
What more can you hope for?
