20-9Decision
On Indiana
Special to the Daily
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Michi-
gan's wrestlers captured a 20-9
decision as they faced Indiana in
their first dual meet of the season
yesterday. The Wolverines com-
bined five decisions and one pin
to topple their initial opponents.
Although the grapplers fell be-
hind in the early matches, succes-
sive decisions posted by Burt Meri-
cal, Fred Stehman, and Jim Kam-
man turned the tide in favor of
the Blue, and the 'matmen pro-
ceeded to a relatively easy vic-
tory.
After Bob Fehrs opened the
match for the Wolverines with a
7-3 decision over Jim Binkley in
the 123-pound division, Indiana
rebounded to take the next two
bouts.
Henson Decisioned
Tim McCall, whom Michigan as-
sistant wrestling coach Rick Bay
describes as "probably the tough-
est Indiana boy," managed a 4-2
decision over sophomore Geoff
Hensen, who was seeing his first
varsity dual meet action. Henson
led the 130-pound battle going in
to the second period, 2-0, but re-
linquished two points to McCall in
both the second and third periods
to drop the match.
Indiana's Larry Lentz put the
Hoosiers ahead by taking Gordon
Weeks down three times, capturing
the 137-pound clash 9-3.
But after 145-pounder Merical
tied the score at 6-6 by decisioning
Dave Mudd of the Hoosiers 6-2 on
a reversal, Fred Stehman white-
washed 152-pound twin brother
Dan Mudd 10-0, dominating the
match throughout, and put Michi-
gan in front to stay. Kamman
added another three points b yout-

Indiana's T o m Blankenship
brought his mates within three
points by conquering Wayne Han-
sen in the 167-pound division 5-2,
as Hansen, was penalized two
points, one for walking out of the
ring and one for stalling. But 177-
pound sophomore Pete Cornell,
also seeing his first duel meet
action for the Wolverines, put the
match out of reach by leading op-
ponent Andy Thompson all the
way in taking a 9-6 victory.
With only the final score in
doubt, Dave Porter put the icing
on the cake by gaining the only
pin of the day on heavyweight
challenger Chuck Wertshnig. The
reigning NCAA champion required
only 50 seconds in the first per-
iod to acquaint his 300-pound op-
ponent with the mat.
Porter quickly took the Hoosier
giant down and threw him on his
back but was almost a victim of
the same maneuver seconds later
by his opponent before he man-
aged the pin. "It looked like a
teeter-totter for awhile," Bay
laughed, "but Dave was leading
in points 5-0 when the match
ended."
Bay was not entirely pleased by
the performance. "While this was
an adequate showing for our first
dual meet of the season," he ex-
plained, "there definitely has to
be some general improvement on
the whole team if we are to battle
for the Big Ten title. Some of the
boys looked pretty good, but others
found they have a ways to go be-,
fore they can handle stiffer com-
petition." .

the dominance of Indiana by fin-

Keane Story
HOUSTON (P--Johnny Keane,
the gentlemanly little manager
who suffered through one of base-
ball's most tragic success stories
in reverse, is dead.
A massive heart attack at his
home here late Friday night claim-
ed the mild, cigar-chomping per-
fectionist who won the world
championship with the St. Louis
Cardinals in 1964, only to be fired

official meet as a detriment. Par-
ticularly pleasing, however, among'
this bumper crop of greenhorns
was ring man Rich Kenney, whose
9.2 performance nabbed a first
place in the event so ably staffed
by the now-graduated Ytich Blan-
ton last year.
True, it is not yet time for
eulogizing; Loken and his troops
are too well-stocked in both play-
ing and coaching ability to be
counted out of anything yet. Still,
it must be remembered that the
goose can stop laying eggs of gold,
and easily change to the more con-
ventional variety.

same squad that set the record in
the 400-yard medley - Kingery,
Scherer, O'Malley and Groft-tri-
umphed again.
The four Michigan wins were
topped only by Indiana, which
had six victories on the 11-event
card. In fact, only Michigan
State's win in the 2000-yard free-
style relay was able to prevent
a complete Indiana - Michigan
monopoly.
Altogether, the Wolverines were
able to place in all but one event,
the 200-yard individual medley.
In this facet they matched the
performance of Indiana, which
did not finish in the top three
in the 200-yard butterfly relay.
P.A. Problems
According to Coach Stager, the
public address system caused al-
most as much anxiety as the op-
position, by being so incoherent
that winning times could not be
heard immediately. It was there-
fore difficult to keep pace with
the team standing.
Michigan, which finished second
in the Big Ten last season, now
heads into conference play.
