It takes a good mixture to:
energize a car battery. Baseball
batteries, too, need the proper
mixture - experience and youth.
This season, the Wolverines have
a good supply of each.
But it's what Michigan doesn't
have - or, rather, almost had--
that makes the status of the num-
- ber '1' and '2' positions so ques-
- tionable right now. The loss of
two reliable pitchers to the pros
as well as this year's probable
starting receiver to the lure of the
gridiron, leave both staffs in a
somewhat undecided state as the
team prepares to leave for Ari-
zona.
"With both moundmen Bob
Reed and Nick Radakovic having
signed pro contracts, the starting
positions are still up for grabs,"
said baseball mentor Moby Bene-
dict.
When Reed signed with the De-
troit Tigers, the Wolverines lost
a hurler who earned nine of last
year's 22 victories.
"We'll really miss having Bob
out there this season," lamented
Benedict. "He did an outstanding
job for us, particularly in the Big

most wins in conference play."
Reed gained six victories against!
Western Conference foes.
Radakovic, who would have
been a junior this year, joined the
Houston Astros aftercompiling a
2-2 record last year. He had been:
figured as a starter, too.
But the moundmen will still
have a good nucleus returning, in
the form of three seniors and
three juniors. Jim Lyijynen and*
Bill Zepp of the oldsters, and
Geoff Zahn of the juniors, are
expected to provide the foundation
of the staff.
Zahn had a 3-1 record last sea-
son in his first crack at varsity
competition, and Benedict con-
siders him a fine prospect for this
year. Zepp; 3-1 last year, is also
looking ready. "If they don't win,"
warns the Wolverine coach, "we
may be in deep trouble."
Lyijynen (pronounced 'line-en')
was also 2-2 in competition last
year, but was outstanding toward
the end, defeating Michigan State
and Minnesota in successive out-
ings.
Senior Joe Kerr and juniors
Larry Guidi and Rod Scott round

men. The three combined for a

perfect 4-0 record among them
as they had one, two, and one

ed to get good workouts in the

Yet it is the four sophomores
upon which the success or failure -
of the squad must fall. John Hur-
ley, Bill Krug, Joe Notz, and Dave

It might be classified as a small
college by the NCAA but Southern
Illinois with 22.000 students is a!
big time athletic power by any!
standards.
The Salukis are the defending
NCAA gymnastics champs and
that's not in the small college
division. SIU took the whole show
for the second time in three sea-
sons last spring with a 187.20
total.
And Southern is favored to cop
;he crown again this season anda
that's without the services of four-
time NCAA champ Frank Schmitz,
who was killed in an air plane
crash over the labor day weekend.
Schmitz, a high school team-
mate of world trampolining champ
Wayne Miller in Lafayette, La.,
was at the controls of the small
plane -when the disaster occurred.
The tragedy left SIU with mas-
sive holes to fill on the tramp,
long horse and free exercise where
Schmitz won NCAAA titles in 1965,
1966 respectively. And he even fin-
ished second in the long horse in
1965.
In Memory
SIU gymnastics coach Bill.
Meade noted that "I think we can
win even with the lose of Frank.
In fact, the boys are winning to
win the championship in his mem-
ory."
Gymnastics is so big in Carbon-
dale that students are charged ad-
mission, yet Meade enthusiastical-
ly mentioned that "we had 4,000
for the Michigan State meet and
about that many for Iowa State
and these are knowledgeable gym-
nastic fans."
The Salukis have won an
amazing 61 straight dual meets
since dropping a mid-season deci-
sion to Michigan'State in 1961 and
it hasn't been against easy com-
petition. This season, SIU com-
piled a 11-0 record and three of
those wins were against national-
ly-rated teams, Iowa, Iowa State
and Michigan State.
The Salukis met Big Ten
champs Iowa early in the season
and clipped the Hawkeyes' wings
188.3-184.6. Still Meade noted that

'Iowa was hurt when we met them
and they hqve come along since
then. to take the Big Ten chain-
pionship away from six time
champ. Michigan."
SIU faced Michigan State in
January and squaked out a 190.8-
190.25 victory over the Spartans.
The Salukis's victory over Iowa
State was against a squad that
was forth in the nation last year.
While they are again the top
rated team in the country with
scores soaring near 193, Meade
remarked that "we have no real
outstanding stars" as he preceded
to list his top five men who are
rated at the top or near the top
nationally in several individual
events.
Tucker First
Senior' co-captain Rick Tucker
is ranked first nationally in the
high bar wtih a 9.45 average while
he is third in the all-around.
Fred Dennis, NCAA runner-up on
the still rings last spring, is listed
tops in the rings while Paul Mayer
has taken up the slack left by
Schmitz's tragic death.
Mayer is first in the long horse
and second in the free ex tied
with Michigan's Phip Fuller, be-
hind top rated Toby Towson of
Michigan State.
And then the tramp team is
one of SIU's main forte a la Mich-
igan with Dale Hardt ranked sec-
ond right behind NAAU and Big
Ten champ Dave Jacobs with a
9.45 average. And as if that is not
enough of outstanding performers,
Ron Harstad is high on the na-
tional parallel bar list.
Right now, the Salukis are aim-
ing for the Mid-East Gymnastics
regionals to be held in Wheaton,
Illinois on Saturday when SIU
will fight Michigan, Michigan
State, Iowa and Illinois for the
top three team spots which make
the trip to the NCAA finals, being
held this year in the SIU arena.
Meade noted that "the regionals
are going to be real tough with
Iowa, MSU and Michigan and SIU
all in there. I don't think Illinois
is strong enough to make it even
though they beat MSU." The
Salukis coach rates the Wolverines
above the Spartans because of
what he calls "more balance."
The Salukis then predicted that
Iowa, Iowa State, Penn State,
Michigan, MSU and Southern are
the top national contenders and
lamented that "it won't take a 190
score to win it. Last year, we won
with a 187. The lower score is all
due to the pressure."
This is the second time in three
years the nationals are being held
in Carbondale. In 1965, when only
two teams met for the champion-
ships, the Salukis were eliminated
in the semi-finals. Meade then
chuckled and said, "We really
would like to be here this time."

Devaney Replaces
Dye at Nebraska
By The Associated Press
The University of Nebraska
Board of Regents yesterday named
football coach Bob Devaney ath-
letic director to succeed Tippy
Dye.
Dye resigned to become athletic
director at Northwestern Uni-
versity.
Devaney will assume the direc-
torship in addition to his coach-
ing job.

Why become an engineer at
Garrett-AiResearch? You'll have to
work harder and use more of
your knowledge than engineers
at most other companies.



-4

If you're our kind of engineer,
you have some very definite ideas
about your career.
For example:
You've worked hard to get a
good education. Now you want to
put it to work in the best way
possible.
You will never be satisfied with
run-of-the-mill assignments. You
demand exciting,
challenging projects.
You not only accept
individual responsibil-.
i#y - you insist upon it.f
Does that sound like
you? Then AiResearch
is your cup of tea.
Our business is
mainly in sophisticated aerospace
systems and subsystems.
Here, research, design, and de-
velopment lead to production of

actual hardware.
That means you
have the oppor-
tunity to start with
a customer's problem
and see it through to a
system that will get the job done.
The product lines at AiResearch,
Los Angeles Division, are environ-
mental systems, flight information
and controls sys-
tems, heat transfer
systems, secondary
power generator
systems for missiles
and space, electri-
cal systems, and
specialized indus-
trial systems.
In each category AiResearch
employs three kinds of engineers.
Preliminary design engineers do
the analytical and theoretical
work, then write proposals.
Design engineers do the lay-
outs; turn an idea into a product.
Developmental engineers are
responsible for making hardware
out of concepts.
Whichever field fits you best, we
can guarantee you this: you can
go as far and fast as your talents

Our engineering staff is smaller
than comparable companies. This
spells opportunity. It gives a man
who wants to make a mark plenty
of elbow room to expand. And
while he's doing it he's working
with, and learning from, some of
the real pros in the field.
If the AiResearch story sounds
like opportunity speaking to you-
don't fail to contact AiResearch,
Los Angeles, or see our repre-
sentative when he comes to your
campus.
We'll be happy to talk to you -
about you and your future.
And put this in the back of your
mind:

lenges pays off in rewards...
