By BILL LEVIS
After Michigan captain Gary
Vander Voort received an 8.55
on the parallel bars, gymnastics
Coach Newt Loken bowed his
head and muttered to himself,
"Well, there goes the meet."
The meet was yesterday's clash
with front-running Iowa, but how
wrong Loker was about the out-
come!
In the closest meet of this or
any other season in Michigan's
20 year gymnastics history, the
Wolverines narrowly defeated the
previously undefeated Hawkeyes by
one-fortieth, that's right, one-for-
tieth of a point, 188.55 to 188.525.
Ohio State's cellar-ridden Buck-
eyes also made the trip to Ann
Arbor but their performance left
much to be desired as they were
soundly drubbed by Michigan
188.55-152.975. The Buckeyer had
met Iowa earlier this year and
were similarlyihumbled by the
Hawkeyes.
Tied for Lead
Michigan's double victory leaves
them with a 6-1 mark in the dou-
ble meet season and throws them
into a tie with Iowa for the top
spot in the Big Ten going into the
championships, this Thursday
through Saturday in Iowa City.
Yesterday's meet, witnessed by
PVOtXSWAO'I AEAM WC.,W.-
Pick up either Volkswagen

PHIP FULLER
the largest crowd in Michigan
history, was undecidea until Iowa
had finished their routine in the
final event, the rings. Going into
that event, the Wolverines led the
Hawkeyes by .075 and Loken had
earlier said that Iowa's ringmen
were stronger than his own boys.
The Hawks had to score only one-
tenth of point higher in their ring
total to win the meet. They just
missed, recording 27.55 to Michi-
gan's 27.50 giving the Wolverines
the meet.
Loken had much praise for his
ringmen, Dick Kenney, Cliff Chil-
vers and Vander Voort who net-
ted 9.2, 9.2, and 9.1, respectively.
"I was really proud of the boys.
They came through when they
had to."
Not Enough Muscle
Iowan Dan Hatch and Terry Si-
orek came through with their us-
ual nine-plus routines on the rings
but Bob Dickson just couldn't mus-
cle up enough to give the Hawk-
eyes the victory.
The Wolverines started out
strong in the meet sweeping the
vaulting and floor exercise as sen-
ior twins Chip and Phip Fuller
took first and second, respective-
ly, in the vault and opposite places
in the free ex. Phip received spe-
cial cheers from the overflow
crowd for his free ex perform-
ance of 9.4 that solidified his
claim as one of the two best in
the country.
Iowa's side horse team turned
in a magnificent performance of
28.4 to secure a temporary lead
for the Hawkeyes, but Michigan's
tramp team reagined the edge,
and the Wolverines held on
throughout the remaining events
to set up the cliniactic ending.
Ohio State was never in the
meet from the start as they were
only able to total about 22 points
per event to the two front run-
ners' 27 point average.
Uphill Battle
Loken expressed concern over
the several mediocre routines but
noted that they should be re-
paired by next week. "It's going
to be an uphill battle in Iowa City
but I think we'll make it."
The whole Wolverine squad was
elated by the victory. Cliff Chil-
vers parents had to take a picture
of him with Loken. Phip Fuller,
bubbling over, explained how the
crowd helped boost the team along
with the pep band. It was like New
Year's Eve. When the final score
was announced over the PA sys-
tem the crowd went wild starting
a celebration that is usually lim-
ited for football or basketball
championships. The victory was
just that important.

"To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every pur-
pose under the heaven. A time
to be born, a time to die . ..
-Ecclesiastes 3
A time to pin, a time to be
pinned.
For Dave Porter and Jeff
Richardson there would be no al-
ternatives. The lines were written,
the stage was set, the directors
waving the actors about frantical-
ly. When the production was over,
there were no curtain calls.
Rather the house fell in.
For even with the storybook fin-
ish and the skillful foreshadow-
ing of the plot by rags-to-riches
hero Pete Cornell, nobody was
playing around.
Humanity
There were over 4500 people
crammed into Yost Field House
yesterday afternoon, an unofficial
Big Ten attendance record for
wrestling. After Porter had pin-
ned Richardson in 3:30 of their
heavyweight encounter, and Mich-
igan had oozed out a 16-14 heart-
stopper over Michigan State, over
4500 people crammed onto the mtt
with the big blue 'M' in the middle
and cari'ied off Coach Cliff Keen,
Porter, and his teammates.
The human inundation was
spontaneous. As Porter had strain-
ed to press Richardson's right
shoulder to the cushion, the em-
pathic crowd leaned to the left,
grunted as they tightened their
stomachs, bellowed "Pin, Pin!,"
and, when it was over, leaped in a
single motion center stage. If it
had taken much longer Yost
might have turned into a mass
hernia factory.
The Spartans had been number
one in the country, as ranked by
Amateur Wrestling News. The
Wolverines had been sixth. Both
squads had been undefeated this
season. The match had rightfully
been regarded as a toss-up.
Looked Bleak
But when 177-pound Michigan
sophomore Pete Cornell assumed
his station against defending con-
ference champion Mike Bradley,
"We thought maybe we had shot
our chances," Keen recalled. The
score at that point was 14-8, and
the Spartans had captured four
out of seven matches and gained
a tie in another.
After a scoreless first period in
which each of the combatants
carefully avoided each other's
clutches, Bradley gained one point
for an escape in the second stanza.
But Cornell tied the contest early
in the third period with an escape,
and captured the decisive points
on a takedown. Bradley managed
one more point for an escape, but
Cornell avoided the Spartan's fu-
tile attempts to grab his legs and

ute, to take a 3-2 decision.
"Cornell was the real her ,"
assistant coach Rick Bay exclaim-
ed with a" hoarse throat. "He got
him with the double leg drive
takedown that he's been trying all
year, but hasn't believed in him-j
self enough till now to follow
through on it. Cornell has great
speed and strength and may have
found himself today."
Not an Ara
But with the tally 14-11 Porter
still had to execute a pin on Rich-
ardson, once a Big Ten champ
himself, for a victory. A decision,
worth three points, would have
but tied the match and branded'
the Wolverine 240-pounder as the
Ara Parseghian of the grappling
world.
"I wasn't really that nervous
about it," the NCAA heavyweight
champion explained while untap-
ing his knee in the locker room.
"But I figured he'd run away and
try to stall. Instead I got a chance'
to pin him with the same hold I
got him with in the Big Ten cham-
pionships last year, a half-nelson
and a cradle. At first I tried an
over and under but he was just
too wide." Porter lead 7-1 in points'
at the time.
Bob Fehrs had helped cut the

tension of the opening moments
of the meet by steadily outma-
neuvering Spartan 123-pounder
Gary Bissell, 6-1. The Wolverine
captain picked up his first two
points in the second period, by
sliding under Bissell's legs for a
reversal, and commanded the con-
test the rest of the way.
No Victories
But in the next four matches no
Wolverine was able to equal Fehrs'
efforts. Geoff Henson, Gordie
Weeks, and Fred Stehman all were
outpointed by their Spartan ad-
versaries, and Burt Merical could
do no better than a one-to-one
draw.
RECORD 880:
Kutschinski Paces Track Win
Jim Kamman brought Michigen
within three points oneagain,
whitewashing his opponent 6-0,
but 107-pound Bill Waterman was
smothered by Michigan State's
Ron Ott, 14-5.
Waterman's defeat, however,
proved a Pyrrhic victory for the
visitors from East Lansing. Water-
man wavered on the brink of being
pinned for almost a minute, his
shoulder seemingly but millimeters
away from the mat and the match
but millimeters away from being
clinched by the Spartans.
"But Waterman came up with a
tremendous effort to avoid the
pin," Bay praised, "and gave Cor-
nell and Porter the chance to
come through."
Once-in-a-Lifetime
"I've never seen a meet like
this one before," Keen gasped
amid congratulatory back-pats.
Nor aparently had most of the
fans, who might have been mis-
taken for high school kids upon
witnessing a basketball state
championship.
Jeff Richardson was seen crying
in the visiting locker room after
the match.
"A time to get and a time to
lose . . . a time to laugh and a
time to weep . . ."
Next week the Wolverines will
have to do it all over again in the
conference tourney, to capture the
Big Ten title.
But there is time for that. Yes-
terday Michigan's wrestlers found
a time for winning, and for that
there is a season.

Acting Executive Sports Editor
Ron Kutschinski is an athlete
who knows what he wants ... and
he gets what he wants.
The Wolverine cinderman de-
cided before yesterday's triangular
meet with Indiana and North-
j western that he, would make an
assault on the varsity and field
house record in the 880-yard run,
and found both marks ready vic-
tims, as he breezed to victory in
the excellent time of 1:51.5.
The win added five points to
the lopsided Wolverine win mar-
gin, Michigan garnering 94 mark-
ers to Indiana's 52% and the
Wildcats' 191.
Snapping the tape some 50
yards ahead of his nearest op-
ponent, Ralph Schultz of North-
western, Kutschinski found that
his only competition in the meet's
' featured race was Father Time.
And the bearded man's sickle cer-
tainly didn't cut down the Mich-
igan sophomore. Head coach Don
Canham barked off the time to
Kutschinski at the end of each
F lap, and as he said after his per-
formance, "When I heard my 660
time, I knew I had it."
The two former records, 1:52.8
for Yost and 1:52.4 for the varsity,
were both set by Pete Gray in
1955.
One of Best
Speaking of his star runner,
Canham said, "He's- got every-
thing. Great s p e e d, terrific
strength, and a hell of a mental
attitude. When he's out there on
the track, he doesn't worry about
anything or anybody. Ron's going
to win his share.
"He has a very efficient way of
running," C a n h a m continued.
"He's very relaxed out there. Why,
he was more relaxed on the last
lap today than he was on the third
one," the coach added.
Words of praise for Kutschinski
came from one more quarter. An-
nouncer Don McEwen, who ex-
