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.

Hansen Decisioned 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." . Michigan team; it wasn't thatj they were nearly upset.

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. VAULTING-C. Fuller (M), 8.975; P.

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.
