THREE TITLES UP FOR GRABS:
I-M Open House Championships Tonight
By JIM TINDALL
Michigan's hockey team brought
home its second championship of
the season-the WCHA title--by
beating Michigan State twice this
weekend, 9-4 and 13-4.
"We played pretty well this
weekend," said Coach Al Renfrew.
"State was down a little with goal-
tending problems, but it was a
real good series. MSU is always
tough to play against. Renfrew
was referring to the fact that
Spartan goalie Alex Terpay was
stricken with neck problems and
was not able to continue play in
Saturday night's game at the Coli-
seum.
"Roger Galipeau had a real
good series, and Barry MacDonald
also did a good job on defense. Of
course, Gordie Wilkie and Gary
Butler turned in fine performances
also," commented Renfrew on his
team's performance.
Champs Uider Belt
With the WCHA championship
under their belt along with the
Big Ten championship, the Wol-
verine icers are looking towards
the NCAA championships to be
held in Denver in two weeks.
In order to get an invitation to
the NCAA tournament, the Maize
and Blue must win a series with
the fourth place team, Michigan
Tech this Thursday and Friday at
the Coliseum. The winner will be
decided by total goals for the two
games. Michigan has beaten Tech
and goalie Gary Bauman three out
of four times this season, their
only loss coming two weeks ago at
Houghton.
Tech Chooses
"M i hi g a n Tech, by some
strange deal, was able to choose
who they wanted to play in the
tournament," explained Renfrew.
Minnesota, the third place team, is
not participating in the playoffs,
because of their exams. So, in oth-
er words, Tech finished in fourth
place, but with Minnesota out they
were really third for a playoff
berth, but they were able to choose
who they wanted to oppose," add-
ed Renfrew.
The winner of this, the third
Michigan-Michigan Tech series of
the season, will play the winner
Loyola Defeats
Murray State
EVANSTON ({P)-Eighth-ranked
Loyola defeated Murray State, 101-
91, as expected last night to qualify
as Michigan's opponent in the
semi-finals of the NCAA Mideast
regional Friday night.
Rambler Jim Coleman led all
scorers with 27 points, followed by
teammate Johnny Egan and Mur-
ray State's Jim Jennings, who both
notched 24. Ron Miller, with 21,
was the third Loyola player to hit
the 20-point bracket.
Ohio University shaded Louis-
ville, 71-69, in overtime last night,
to gain another semi-final berth.
The Bobcats will meet Kentucky
Friday night before the Michigan-
Loyola game.
of the Denver-North Dakota ser-
ies at the ice of the team that is
highest in the standings on Sat-
urday night for the top slot in the
conference playoffs.
Michigan, barring unforeseen
circumstances, will finish the sea-
son with All-America candidate
Bob Gray in the nets, and burly
defenseman Tom Polonic, the sec-
ond leading scorer in the WCHA,
on the ice, as both were re-instat-
ed to the team last weekend.
Renfrew expects "two terrific
games with Michigan Tech. All of
our games with them have been
real good games, and none of them
were walkaways by any means.
They lost Scotty Watson, a real
good hockey player, for the season
because of a broken leg the last
time we played them there. That
will hurt them, but they still have
Bauman.'
To Renfrew's recollection, this
is "the first time that Michigan
has won the WCHA champion-
ship." With two trophies in the
trophy case already, only five
games stand between the Wolver-
ines and the NCAA title which
Michigan has not won since 1956.

Gymnasts Invert 'M' to Fourth
_ ,
By TOM ROWLAND
Michigan's wrestlers went into
last weekend's Big Ten champion-
ships geared to face a rugged
Northwestern team that on paper
looked to be up to giving the Wol-
verines a hard go for the title.
Coach Cliff Keen switched Rick
Bay and Chris Stowell down to
w e i g h ts where they hadn't
wrestled all year, and still the
veteran headmaster had doubts.
"These fellows may be just all we
bargained for-or more," said the
coach warily, looking over the
Wildcat lineup the day before the
meet began. He pointed to Dave
Kreider at 123 pounds, and Bob
Plaskas at 130, and Stu Marshall
at 157. "You know, if we don't
keep our heads up we just could
get beat."
Yeah, Yeah
Meanwhile, back at the ranch
Bay, defending champ at 157,
injured a shoulder and had to for-
feit out of the meet. Wolverine
137-pound hopeful Cal Jenkins
was bounced 6-1 in the prelimin-
ary round, as was 177-pound cap-
tain Wayne Miller, Stowell never
saw the light of the quarterfinals.
But Michigan won it--the Wolver-
ines garnered their second straight
title while outdistancing Iowa
56-42, and a pair of Keen's men
walked off with individual cham-
pionships.
The Northwestern threat never
materialized. The Wildcats didn't
place a single individual winner.
Kreider got knocked off in the
quarterfinals but returned in the
consolations for fourth place.
Plaskas never won a match, and
Marshall followed the same fate
as Kreider. Total NU point com-
pilation was 32.
Big Surprise
Meanwhile Michigan's Ralph
Bahna, who barely managed a
winning dual meet. season, raised
everyone's eyebrows by whipping
through the lightweight brackets
for the 123-pound title. If the fact
that Bahna beat OSU's seemingly
invincible Mike Berry wasn't
enough, the Wolverine senior
notched a pin in the quarter-finals
and won on a last second take-
down in the semi's. The final vic-
tory was easier, a 9-0 triumph
over Purdue's highly-regarded
Ralph Trail.
Lee Deitrick picked up the other
Wolverine individual title and
again the toughest match came
before the finals. Deitrick had to
make some fast last-second points
to beat Iowa's Joe Greenlee in the
semi's-a takedown in the final
tick of the clock did it as Deitrick
scored his third straight mat vic-
tory over the Hawkeyes in two
years.
7:00 with semi-final action in the
social fraternity and residence hall
divisions. Also scheduled are the
semi-finals in the all-campus
doubles tournament.
The Judo Club will hold exhibi-
tion matches under the direction
of Dr. Sachio Ashida starting at
8:00. At 7:00, Psychology All-Stars
meet the Baltics, and The Museum
of Zoology plays Cooley Lab (A) in
exhibition volleyball games.
Weightlifting Club, a badminton
demonstration by members of the
international center, exhibition
squash matches between faculty
and students, and a tennis demon-
stration featuring faculty members
and the Michigan freshman team.
As an added attraction for the
evening, a clown diving show will
be presented by members of the
varsity and freshman diving squad
under the direction of Coach hick
Kimball.
There will be no charge for the
evening's program.
Bay watched the 157 finals from
the bleachers, his right arm in a
sling after a shoulder injury in
Friday's victory over Dale Smith
of Purdue.
"We took Rick to the hospital
after the match," said Michigan
assistant coach Denny Fitzgerald.
"and after taping him up good we
decided that we'd see how well he
could wrestle in the semi's. But
with that injury and the tape he
could only manage about two
moves."
Midway through his semi-final
match with Gopher Lee Gross,'the
eventual 157-pound winner, Bay
was forced to call it quits.
As for the early-defeated Wol-
verines, they all came on strong
in the wrestle-backs. Bill Johan-
nesen and Stowell won third-place
honors, while Jenkins and Miller
both fell to a close referee's deci-
sion after two overtime periods.
Time and Roger Pillath separ-
ated Bob Spaly from the heavy-
weight crown. Pillath's one point
riding time edged Spaly, 2-1.

"M inverted to the fourth" was
the code and they made it stick,
at Madison.
This little cryptogram was post-
ed on the door of the gym where
the Michigan Gymnastics team
practiced in preparation for last
weekend's Big Ten championship
which the Wolverines won by out-
pointing rivals Iowa and Michigan
State. Deciphered, the ditty means
invert the Michigan M and you
get W. W to fourth stands for we
will win at Wisconsin. What will
'we win?' The fourth consecutive
crown in gymnastics for Michigan.
The victory was a narrow one
for Coach Newt Loken and the
team. Michigan held a small lead
throughout the meet and did not
clinch it until the last event,
tumbling. The tumblers swept the
top three places to accumulate 28
points. Mike Henderson led the
way with John Hamilton second
and Phil Bolton third.
'M' Notches Firsts
Michigan notched two other
firsts in the parallel bars and
trampoline. Arno Lascari won his
specialty in a closely contested
battle with Todd Gates of Michi-
gan State. After the' preliminaries,
the two were exactly tied, but Las-
cari won by a half a point on Sat-
urday with an average score of
94.75.
On the tramp Hamilton ed the
pack Friday night with Iowa's
George Hery second and Gary Er-
win, Michigan's defending NCAA
champ in third. Erwin came up
with a superb 97.5 the second day
to pass Hery and tie Hamilton for
the championship. Fred Sanders
Michigan's third talented bounder
finished fourth.
Alex Frecska astonished the
crowd and the coaches in the pre-
lims by registering a second place
in the sidehorse. He slipped a bit
in the finals to take a 5th but his
finish still ranks as a major sur-
prise. Frecska also won a fifth
in the all-around competition be-
hind teammate Lascari who took
fourth.
Jim Curzi, Michigan State's out-
standing sophomore, won the all-
around narrowly over Glenn Gail-
is of Iowa. Curzi was burdened by
a barely healed shoulder separa-
tion which caused him particular
difficulty on the still rings.
Spectator Treat
The rings were a real spectator
treat as perhaps the two best ring
men in the country competed,
MSU's Dale Cooper and Jim Hop-
per of Wisconsin. Both dazzled
the crowd with near flawless
routines. They tied with 97 on Fri-
day, but Cooper was too perfect
on Saturday getting a score of
98.5 to Hopper's 97.
In floor ex, Michigan's ace Hen-
derson rebounded from a disheart-
ening fourth place score of 78 in
the prelims with an 89.5. This
score pushed him into 'a tie for
third for the event.
John Cashman aided the Michi-
gan cause by taking a fifth in the
high bar as a sophomore while
another first year man, Ned Duke
accounted for a ninth place finish
in the parallel bars.
The next and last engagement
of the season for Loken's squad
will be the NCAA Championships
to be held at Los Angeles State
College on March 27-8. Michigan
will be aiming for its second
straight national title.
As was the situation last sea-
son Michigan will find its stiffest
competition from the top Big.Ten
teams plus such national powers
as S. Illinois and S. California.

'Overperformance'
Puts Thinclads on Top

By STEVE GALL
Michigan's amazing domination
of the Big Ten track meet at Co-
lumbus last weekend best can be
referred to as an "over-perform-
ance" of all the cindermen.
Coach Don Canham had con-
servatively figured on about 46
points from the team. But when
the final event of the afternoon
was over, the Wolverines had
counted a startling 67 points, only
48% shy of the all-time mark set
by Michigan in 1944.
And what made it even more
convincing was the fact that this
year's performance fell only two
points short of the 1961 champion
Wolverines. That team was
stacked with such great talent as
Bennie McRae, Tom Robinson,
Ergas Leps, and Dick Cephas and

ON WAY BACK UP:
Tankers Place Second
Fourth StraightSeason
By BILL BULLARD
Coach Gus stager's swimming
team was the only Wolverine
squad to not win a Big Ten cham-
pionship last weekend but the
tankers demonstrated that they
are on their way back up.
It was the fourth straight sec-
ond place to Indiana's powerhouse
but the point difference between
the two teams was the lowest in
the past three meets. Besides this,
Michigan won its first individual
championships since the 1961
meet.
Sophomores Bill Farley and
Rich Walls acoounted for 31/2
titles and 21/2 Big Ten records
between them. Farley won the 500-
and the 1650-yard freestyle events
while Walls won the 100-yard
freestyle race and tied Indiana's
Chuck Ogilby at 200 yards.
Smashes Record
Farley's 4:57.6 time in the 500
smashed Indiana junior Gary Ver-
hoeven's 4:59.0 mark. At 1650
yards, after swimming 66 lengths,
Farley was clocked at 17:36.0, ty-
ing the record of Alan Somers of
Indiana. It is interesting to note
that the timers clicked their stop-
watches from the other end of the
pool from where Farley finished.
Walls set his Big Ten record
in the 200 preliminaries. His 1:47.0
time broke Verhoeven's 1:48.2
mark. In the finals, the judges
called the race a tie even though
Walls swam a 1:47.3 which was
the fastest time recorded.
At 100 yards, Walls won by :00.2
second over Michigan State's Jim
MacMillan in :48.3. This was one
second above Gopher Steve Jack-
man's Big Ten record. Walls also
was fourth in the 50-yard free-
style.
Lowest Margin
Indiana's victory margin of 51%
points over Michigan was the low-
est in the past three meets. In
1961, when Indiana won its first
conference swimming title, the
Hoosiers only defeated the Wol-
verines by 3% points. Since then
the contest has hardly been close.
Michigan also picked up four
impressive second places in the
meet, two each from juniors Ed
Boothman and Ed Bartsch. Booth-
man was runnerup to Indiana div-
ing ace Rick Gilbert on both the
high and low boards.
Bartsch, swimming in lane one
in both the 100- and 200-yard
backstroke events, lost both times
to Indiana sophomore Pete Ham-
mer. At 200 yards Bartsch had his
closest chance at victory, finishing
second by only :00.3 second.
Top Sophomores
Of the 22 individual finalist
places Michigan posted in the
meet, 13 were by sophomores, five
were by juniors, and only four
were by seniors. In the 200-yard
freestyle, Farley won Michigan's
only individual third place.
Fourth places were won by sen-
iors Tom Dudley and John Cand-
ler and sophomores Rees Orland
and Geoff D'Atri. Fifth places
were taken by senior Geza Bodo-
lay (2), junior Lanny Reppert,
and sophomore Bruce Brown.
Brown added another sixth place
along with fellow sophomores Bill
Spann, Dave Roadhouse, and
Steve Rabinovitch.
was the one that Canham had al-
ways called "the greatest ever in
the Big Ten."
Five Winners
Michigan had five individual
winners: Captain Roger Schmidt
in the shotput; Al Ammerman,
high jump; Des Ryan, mile; Kent
Bernard in the 600-yard run; and
Ted Kelly in the half mile.
Being shut out in only the 440,
the pole vault, and the low
hurdles, Michigan picked up valu-
able points in the other 12 events,
including five second place fin-
ishes.
On Friday night, the Wolverines
were put on the success road with
o ut s ta n d ing performances by
broad jumpers John Rowser and
Tom Sweeney, placing second and
fifth, respectively. Rowser, sopho-
more football halfback, leaped
23'11", a full 8 inches past his
previous best. Sweeney, clearing
23 feet for the first time in his
career, turned in a fine jump of
23'4".0
Pleasant Surprises
On Saturday, pleasant surprises
came flowing in from nearly every
event. In the high jump, senior
letterman Al Ammerman finally
lived up to his potential by pres-
sure jumping 6'8", good enough
for the crown. Ammerman, who
hadn't cleared more than 6'6" all
year, wasn't expected to pose seri-
ous danger to the powerful three-
some of Bill Holden, Wisconsin's
defending champion, Indiana's
Cornelius Miller and teammate
Bob Densham.
Canham, who wasn't concerned
over Ammerman's mediocre per-
formances during the season, pre-
dicted his senior jumper will do
well when the pressure was on.
Sophomore leaper, Densham, hav-
ing trouble with his steps, cleared
6'7", good for second place. Al-
though disappointed with his run-
ner-up showing, Densham de-
clared, "I was happy that Al took
it if I couldn't."
Sprinting Points
Sprinters Ken Burnley and
Dorie Reid added valuable points
as they took third and fifth, re-
spectively in 4 the 60-yard dash.
Reid especially excelled with a
:06.2 clocking in the prelims, his
fastest of the year.
Senior sprinter, Mac Hunter
added to the mounting total in
the mid-afternoon with a strong
second place finish in the 300-yard"
dash behind Illinois' Mel Blan-
heim. Other surprises were Chris
Murray, who turned in a third
place finish in the two-mile event;
Roy Woodton, who took a fourth
in the 70-yard high-hurdles and
Dave Hayes, who finished fourth
in the mile.
