rAGE 5rc THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1964 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1964 Gym-Dandies Seek NCAA Title By JIM GREINER Michigan's gymnasts will not be doing backflips up the Matterhorn next week if Newt Loken can help it. He wants to win the NCAA gym- nastics championship again and Disneyland isn't on his Los An- geles itinerary, yet. According to Loken, the nation- al meet, held March 27 and 28, will be a six-team fight, much un- like last year. Last April the Wol- verine gym men ran away with the title, compiling a record-shat- tering 129 points to runner-up Southern Illinois' 73. With eight men representing Michigan's Big Ten champions, the Wolverines will be well-stocked with capable performers. Loken will take along three defending individual champs in Mike Hen- derson, co-floor exercise winner; Arno Lascari, defending parallel bars champion; and Gary Erwin, tops on the trampoline. Backing them up will be John Hamilton, co-Big Ten trampoline champ and second in tumbling; Phil Bolton, third in Big Ten tumbling; Fred Sanders, last year's conference tramp champ; Alex Frecska; and John Cashman. Erwin will have just returned from the world trampoline cham- pionships, to be held Saturday in London. ; Still Hurt Lascari, still in pain from his elbow injury, is Loken's main hope in all-around competition. Last year he finished third in the NCAA meet at Pittsburgh, while he ended fourth, sore arm and all, in' this season's Big Ten finals. Despite the fact that the man who tied Henderson in the floor ex, Tom Seward of Penn State, will not be returning, the Wolverines will be hard-pressed to win again. Rusty Mitchell of Southern Illi- nois will be on hand. He finished only .025 behind the co-winners in third. The Wolverines will be hoping for sweeps in trampoline and tumbling to boost their chances. Erwin and Sanders, who finished one-two last year, along with Hamilton, are Loken's tramp hopes. Tumbling Trio Hamilton also figures promin- ently in Loken's tumbling plans. Hopefully for Michigan, the trio of Henderson, Hamilton, and Bol- ton can repeat their one-two-three Big Ten performance in Los An- geles. Lack of competition could facil- itate Michigan victories in the tramp and tumbling. Only South- ern Illinois, of the Wolverines' five top opponents, will have anyone in either of the categories. And it will have only one. Loken sees Southern Illinois, Penn State, Temple, Southern California, and California as Michigan's top threats. Says Loken, "Southern Illinois is loaded." The Salukis unseated Michigan in the Midwest Open last December. Bill and Dennis Wolf, along with Mitchell, lead the SI line-up. Last year Dennis Wolf tied Las- cari for second on the high bar, while Mitchell was runner-up in tumbling and third in floor ex. Owls Rate Temple will field a crew com- posed of this season's Eastern In- tercollegiate champions. The Owls have Rich Phillips, who tied for fifth on the high bar last year, and Steve Cohn and Ray Cohen, according to Loken, both very good in all-around play. Southern California has what Loken calls "the best one-two all- around combination in the nation, in Bill Barak and Gary Buckner." Loken is also hoping that teams such as Michigan State and Iowa can take points away from his top competition to boost the Wolver- ines. Dale Cooper, defending NCAA rings champ, Jim Curzi, Big Ten all-around winner, and Todd Gates will lead the Spartans. Glenn Gailis and George Hery will pace the Iowa assault.

Evenings 'til 8:30 Providence First FoeFor F Icers in Denver I " - kl ,''titiy m - - Umm ,,"--- By PERRY HOODv A lately shot-down Michigan hockey team will enter the NCAA playoffs this Friday night against Providence College, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference champions. The Wolverines barely got by Michigan Tech last week only to be rudely dumped by a fast-skat- ing Denver squad in the WHA playoffs. Should the icers beat Providence, they will meet the winner of the Denver-Rensselaer Polytechnic match on Saturday. "We should give Denver a bet- ter game," said Coach Al Renfrew, looking forward to the hopeful re- match. "Denver has a good team. They'll have the home ice advan- tage too. In a championship game, though, anything can happen." What little is known about the Providence team has come from W. B. Kittell, a Michigan alumnus who has seen both Providence and Rensselaer play. Providence Hustles "They're a typical New England team-hustle all the time. "Their goalie is just adequate," continued Kittell, Providence's original starting goalie tried out for the U. S. Olympic team. Their second goalie has played the last part of the season. The offenseaccording to Kit- tell, consists of 'three solid lines, but Mooney and Heffernan are the men to watch." The Provi- dence depth situation is much the same as that of the Wolverines, he said. Denver Favored Rensselaer will be up against a far-stronger Denver team. "The second line is the key to RPI's success," Kittell e:tplained, "but that's all they have." Denver, how- ever, sports four lines, which was more than enough to overwhelm Michigan last Saturday. "Denver's defense is especially strong," added Coach Renfrew. Rensselaer's goaltender is rated adequate, while Denver's Buddy Blom had the lowest goals-against average in the WCHA this year. "Blom is good, but we didn't really test him," added Renfrew. Providence has never competed in the NCAA playoff series, but their "comparison" club, Boston College, has. Michigan and Boston College met in the 1950 and 1954 consolation contests, with the Wol- verines winning both, 10-6 and 7-2. In the 11 playoff series in which the Wolverines have competed, they have taken the title six times, more than any other team. New Mexico U sets Drake In NIT Action NEW YORK (P) - The New Mexico Lobos survived a furious rally in the closing minutes and defeated the Bulldogs 65-60 last night in the quarter-finals of the National Invitational Basketball Tournament. Behind 61-51, Drake closed to 61-60 with 1:03 left, but then saw any chance for victory go by the boards when Dick Ellis converted four free throws, two of them with 27 seconds left and the other two with just five seconds on the clock. The triumph put the fourth- seeded Lobos into the semifinals Thursday night against New York University. The exciting finish changed the boos of the St. Patrick's night crowd to cheers. Earlier they had booed New Mexico's ball control tactics, especially during the last three minutes of the first half when, the Lobos just passed the ball around to set up a final sec- ond shot-which they missed. Claude Williams got the Lobos off to a fast start and Irga Harge and Ellis followed through in the second half for what seemed to be a convincing New Mexico triumph until Drake's closing heroics. McCoy McLemore, Drake's high scorergwith 28 points, ignited the closing fireworks. Billy Foster added a free throw and Gene West got a jumper. Foster did the same and it was 61-58 with 2:20 left. With 1:52 left Foster was fouled, but missed both free throws which cost Drake dearly as it turned out. 1 r yte*woo& s"Ross MAD RAS t I Ai'' 'i -rrytvp " ; a 4 bty i f 4[e@. !+aaey ~ 2 Niftgp 8 p, 48A * l43 1 eo;i+R- 90E ibt ^atyio a b0 * " O¢9b ', '9ft .'
