"I know we'll take the rest of them. We're going to have to take them because I can't count on Ohio State losing any. This is all going to have to come from us." Michigan and Ohio State, each 8-2, have four remaining games in the Big Ten. The Wolverines have only dropped three of their 20 games this year, but all of them DOUBLES LEAGUEI CHAMPAGNE COCKTAILS Mon. thru Thurs. Fri. and Sat.

No Excuses Strack made no attempt to offer any excuses for the 89-75 blitzing Minnesota gave his team Tuesday evening at Minneapolis. "Minne- sota is a very good squad," Strack commented. "They're fast and strong and I'd say they're about the best team we've faced in the conference this year." Michigan gained an 11-8 lead in the first half, but from that point on, the Gophers proceeded to outscore the' nation's second- ranked team, 14-1. Strack felt that that was probably the turning point in the game. "We started getting cold about then," he re- lated. "We missed a few shots and gave a few passes away sowe be- gan forcing everything and you just can't do that. "Minnesota started to flounder a little too, but then they began putting in everything and before we knew it we were down quite a bit," he continued. Closing the score to 23-17, Mich- igan got cold again and allowed Minnesota to pull ahead 33-17 and put the game out of sight. Statistics told the story, though, as Minnesota hit a phenomenal 57 per cent of its shots in the first period and calmed down slightly to a 46 per cent clip in the sec- ond stanza. The Wolverines, who have been pumping the ball through the hoop close tp 50 per cent of the time this year, could barely scrape together a 27 per cent field goal average in the first period Each team pulled in 43 re- bounds. For Minnesota this was :" '-S track an unexpected feat against the Wolverine board-hogs. Trailing by 18 points, 43-25, at intermission, Michigan came out strong to hit on eight of its first nine shots and eventually cut the Gopher lead to 65-56 and 67-58. Comeback Thwarted According to Michigan's assist- ant coach Jim Skala, "I thought we did a real nice job of coming back, but when we started to gamble, to try to come back, Min- nesota was a good enough team to take advantage of our weak- nesses." Terry Kunze, Minnesota's guard, pumped in eight points in a row after intermission to keep his team well ahead. Strack commented, "That Kunze hurt us. He put in a couple of thirty-foot Jumpers that I'm willing to give any team any day," Michigan hit 58 per cent, of its field goal attempts in the second stanza, but the well-balanced Go- phers failed to give much ground. "They're a very well-balanced team," Strack stated. "After all, they had six players in double fig- ures and that's better than we've ever been able to do, even though we're capable of it." Strack concluded by saying that, "Minnesota is a team much like us with a couple of good sopho- mores. They collapsed a few times earlier in the year and threw away some ball games. That's been about the only difference between them and us." By CHUCK VETZNER Two injury-riddled gymnastics teams will meet tomorrow when Michigan State comes to Ann Ar- bor for Michigan's last duel meet of the season. The meet will begin at 2 p.m. in the Sports Building. The Spartans will be without Bill Curzi, a very fine all-around performer. Dick Giliberto, a free exercise and tumbling specialist, will perform although handi- capped by various injuries this season. Wolverine Fred Sanders will join Rich Blanton on the sidelines. Blanton is out for the season and Sanders, the Big Ten trampoline champion, is the latest cripple with two pulled tendons in his leg. Captain Arno Lascari will be competing for the first time in several weeks. He was hurt before the season began and has been recovering slowly. Coach Newt Lo- ken explained Lascari's appear- ance by saying, "Arno is trying to get in some kind of shape for the Big Ten meet." The return of Lascari is not the only sign of the approaching con- ference meet which will be held March 6 and 7 at Wisconsin. The routines of the Michigan gymnasts are geared for the Big Ten meet. This year's new scoring system has each judge grading a differ- ent aspect of the routine, putting added emphasis on the difficulty. For this reason the gymnasts will be altering their usual routines in order to add more difficult moves. But the Wolverines will not be merely experimenting because .

One grumbler, however, is Gus S t a g e r, Michigan's swimming coach., Stager's protest is not, as one might suspect, that he would like it even warmer, but he wants to go back to the good old days of ice and wind. "When it's really cold," Stager explained, "the swimmers take careI of themselves. But in this mild weather which we're having now, there is the temptation to go out in shirt sleeves or light jackets. The result-a common cold. "This is the first time since I started coaching here that sickness has really hurt us," he remarked. The hurt was deeply felt last Friday at Minnesota, when Wol-' verine freestyler Bill Farley only tied for first in the 200-yard event with a time of 1:49.1. Just one week before against Michigan State he set a new varsity record, 1,46.49., Farley did not even compete in his other forte, the 500-yard free., style, because of his cold.

State-665-3679 J THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES SALUTE:* JIM HEYER When he joined the Wisconsin Telephone Company in August of 1962, Jim Heyer (B.S.E.E., 1960) immediately learned to design television transmission circuits. No "make-work" assignment, Jim's job calls for him to develop circuits for use throughout Wisconsin. He also goes into the field to check the effectiveness of his designs once they're in operation. There are many decisions to make, and many to defend. But Jim enjoys the challenge and has the ability to meet it. No wonder raises come much sooner than eKpected. Jim Heyer, like many young engineers, is impatient to make things happen for his company and himself. There are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed or rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.

University ISA General Assembly Sat., Feb. 22, 4 p.m. UN ION-Rm. 3 K, LIM, N The Wolverines should neverthe- less be at top strength when they invade Ohio for two dual meets this weekend. Take on Bearcats Tonight, the tankers are in Cin- cinnati where they challenge the Bearcats of the University of Cin- cinnati. The Cincinnatators don't have any spectacularly good swim- mers, and Michigan could even sweep first in every event. There should, however, be some very close races for second and third spots in some events. The Cincy meet is a mere tune- up for the main event tomorrow afternoon. After making the quick hop from Cincinnati to Columbus, the Wol- verines jump in head first against ever-tough Ohio State. The Buckeyes are not without their share of superstars. Fore- most on the list is Marty Mull. The Canton, Ohio, senior is de- scribed as the greatest all-around swimmer in Ohio State history from an Ohio high school. A four-time high school All- America, Mull set an NCAA record in the 200-yard individual medley as a sophomore. His time then was 2:03.4, and he has been brutally chopping away at that mark ever since. Last week in a dual -meet with MSU, he touched out with, a fantastic time of 2:00.4. In the backstroke, Dick Mich- aels of Plymouth, Mich., has out- swum all expectations. Sought by Coach Stager for Michigan, he decided to go to OSU. Stager said that he was "pleasantly surpris- ed" by Michael's improvement. The sophomore could conceivably give Michigan's N C A A backstroke champ, Ed Bartsch, a close con- test. Best at Distance Perhaps the best distance free- styler in Buckeye history is Lee Danielson. The California sopho- more might prove a serious chal- lenge, even to a healthy Farley. Other strong Buckeye standouts are Nate Clark in the butterfly, Ben Donaldson, much improved in the 200-yard freestyle, and div- ers Bill Glueck and Randy Lar- son. In their last outing, Ohio State was put down heavily by Michigan State, 64-44. The Wolverine tankers return home to face Big Ten champion Indiana, next Thursday. MSU is no pushover. Despite the injuries both teams will feature many talented, healthy perform- ers. Spartan high bar man, Ted Wison, has been scoring in the 90's as have been State's two top trampoline artists, Dick Strobel and Jim Nobel. The loss of Sand- ers will put even more pressure on the Wolverines' remaining tramp- olinists, Gary Erwin and John Hamilton. Tod Gates, Spartan P-bar man, has been scoring a consistent 93 and should give Alex Frecska a battle in this event. Tom Hurt is a fine all-around performer who can pick up some needed points for the underdog Spartans. In the side horse, Michigan's Paul Levy should have his own way. Michigan's performance in this meet should give a good indica- tion of their chances for defend- ing its Big Ten championship. Thus far, the defending Wol- verine NCAA champions have been able to record only a 3-2 dual meet record. At this time last year they were undefeated, on the tail end of a 22-meet winning streak broken several weeks ago by Iowa. No matter how small, Michigan still has a chance to retain its national crown this year in Los Angeles. But that will depend en- tirely on the conditions of its erstwhile injured. Without depth the Wolverines will have a rough trail against the likes of talent- laden Southern Illinois and Iowa. when are 65% and 35% good marks?
