WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAIR q Ve W E NED,, F BR A Y,,.6 H E MC-G N A LY-IWQxT N s aurazvy f"N Frosh By MARK HALPERT Wolverine trackmen showed a well-balanced attack in last week's Western Michigan R4elays. Mich- Igan's strength in the shotput, dis- tance relays, and high jump sprints is being supplemented by some fine performances by fresh- men hopefuls in the broad jump, pole-vault and sprints., Michigan shot-putters managed to win, place and show in last week's meet. Led by Jack Harvey's put of 55'3", the Wolverines easily Trackmen won this event. Steve Leutchman and Bob Thomas finished second and third respectively. George Hoey missed second by a nose and third by a hair, and had to settle for a fourth place fiiish in the 60 yard dash. Hoey pulled a hamstring muscle in the finals which contributed to his fourth place finish. He will have to miss this weekend's Michigan State Relays, but Coach Don Can- ham expects him to be ready for next week's dual meet with Notre Dame. In Canham's words, "Hoey is as good as any one around." Final Finish All three Michigan sprinters made the finals. They were among only eight of the original 48 con- testants who made it that far. Gary Knickerbocker's high- jumping style shows that this event is more than just a simple run and jump. Gary works himself into a deep trance before every jump. This method may not be orthodox, but Gary did win the high-jump in last week's meet. I Knickerbocker's jump of 6'93" was a personal high for him, and was only a quarter of an inch off the Michigan record. "I felt real good and thought I could go even higher," was Knickerbocker's com- ment after the best jump of his life. "Gary has a lot of potential," remarked assistant coach Dave Martin. "His failure to clear 6'11" did not stop the crowd from giv- ing him a well-deserved ovation." "If conditions are right I think Knickerbocker can go over seven feet,", Coach Canham added. Fresh Faces Frosh pole-vaulter Ron Shortt, broad-jumper Ira Russell and sprinter Solomon -Espie lead the= promising Michigan freshmen. Ialane Solomon (The Flash) Espie fin- ished sixth in the 60 yard dash but is expected to better it in the future. Russell had to settle for a fourth place finish when his jump of 23'7" was disallowed because he had fouled. Coach Canham pre- dicts that "Ira will go over 24' soon and is capable of even doing better." Canham is looking forward to next season when these three. frosh stars will be eligible for Big Ten competition. Changes Pacej Two-miler Steve Bishop ran in the one mile event for a change of pace. His time of 4:14.4 was good for a third place finish and was only four-tenths of a second behind the winner. After running his first mile event since high# school, Bishop said that he felt "real good" and he hopes to "run i cM in several more miles in the future." Michigan State's track team also turned in a good showing in last week's relays. Gene Washington, who doubles as an All-America end in football, tied the meet record in the first heat of the 60 yard high hurdles, cut one-tenth off the record in the semi-finals, and his winning time of 07:1 in the finals clipped another tenth of a second off the meet record. Lamar Miller, of Western Mich- igan University, upset Washington in the finals of the 60 yard low hurdles, but Washington is still considered to be the one to beat in Big Ten competition. Two-miler Jack Frost, State's frosh sensation, easily won the two mile by 15 seconds with a clocking of 8:51.2. MSU's mile relay team, of Bob ttack Steele, Don Crawford, Daz Camp- bell and John Spain turned in an excellent time of 3:15.8. The same combination also won the sprint medley with a time of 3:25.2. Judging from their performance it looks like State will be a tough competitor in the Big Ten finals, which will be held in Madison, Wis., on March 3 and 4. Coach Canham was pleased with the results, and commented that "the performances were real good all the way down the line." Can- ham is satisfied in general, and tthinks the team will have a good chance in the Big Ten champion- ships. DISTANCE MEDLEY-1. Michigan (Coffin, Gerometta, Kutschinski, Kearney). 2. Miami. 3. MSU.
