The gymnasts The Wolverine sophomores have been coming through this year to fill up holes left by graduation. Dave Jacobs, NAAU and Nissin Cup champ, has been scoring around 9.5 to challenge defending NCAA champ Wayne Miller for that title. Mike Sasich has been performing well enough to fill 'the hole left by graduated John Cash- man while Dick Richards on the parallel bar and Rich Kenney on the rings have been cementing the gap left by Ned Duke and Rich Blanton, who has 'been judging conference crown. So far this season the Wolver- ines have shown consistent im- provement. After getting off to a slow start against Indiana, Mich- igan came on strong, besting a well-stocked Illinois team 190.825-' 1907 in Champaign. The 190.825 mark represents the second highest team score in the nation this year. Southern Illinois holds the number one spot with 190.9 in beating Michigan State by seven-tenths of a point. The Wolverines in a mid-week match at Ann Arbor, have also bested Minnesota and Ohio State. Illinois, considered a pre-season favorite by Loken, seems to be, out of the title picture, already l losing twice to Michigan and Iowa. The season now looks like a three team race with Michigan getting the biggest break in the schedule, since the Wolverines en- tertain both Iowa and Michigan State in the Sports Building. The Spartans have the toughest sched- ule, traveling to Ann Arbor and Iowa City for two meets in four days. The Michigan - Michigan State meet is to be held Wednesday, Feb. 15, instead of early in Janu- ary as scheduled because both schools agreed that it would be more suspenseful if the match was held late in the season.
