THE MICHIGAN DAILY

Michigan Trackmen Rank Among Best

By MICHAEL RUTKOW SKI
The recently released Final Re-
port of the Track and Field News
shows that the Wolverines rank
among the best in the country
indoors and on the basis of their
performances last weekend against
Penn State it looks as if the cin-
derrmen will be right up among
the leaders outdoors too.
Against the Nittany Lions Kent
Bernard, Al Ammerman and Ernie
Soudek each broke Michigan var-
sity records for their events-the
440-yard dash, the high jump, and
the discus throw respectively.
Bernard ran a :47.1 to break
his own record of :48.0 around two
turns. Coach Don Canham, how-
ver, feels that Bernard can run
close to :46.0 and might run even
better than that if he gets a
chance to run on the swift tracks
out in California.
Canham thinks that Bernard is
already faster than his Trinidad-
ian countryman Wendell Mottley
of Yale. This past indoor season
Mottley broke three world marks
-in the 440, the 500, and the 600.
Indoors Bernard had the sev-
enth best time in the country in

the 600
eighth
:48.6.

with a 1:10.4 and tied for according to Canham one of the
best in the 440 with a best in the world. At Penn State

High Jumper

Highjumper Ammerman leaped
6'10" last weekend to ellipse the
old varsity record of 6'9%" set
by Ted Williams in 1962.
During the indoor season Am-
merman captured the Big Ten
crown with a leap of 6'8". This
jump enabled Ammerman to tie
for 23rd place in the country
along with seven others. Team-
mate Bob Densham was in a two
way tie for sixth place with his
Michigan indoor record of 6'1014"..
Ammerman's fine showing over
his teammate is due according to
Canham to the fact that Am-
merman as a senior is more ex-
perienced than sophomore Den-
sham. Both Canham and Williams
are of the opinion that Ammer-
man can go even higher. Williams,
in fact,. even predicted when Am-
merman was only a sophomore
that he would jump seven feet.
One of Best
In the discus throw Soudek is
I one of the best in the country and

Soudek once again broke his own
varsity record; this time with a
toss of 185'5". This heave was al-
most a foot better than his old
record.
Soudek, who has already auto-
matically qualified for his native
Austria's Olympic team with three
throws over 180 feet, is fast com-
ing within sight of the national
collegiate discus record. Dave
Weill, formerly of Stanford, holds
the present record with an 193'2"
effort last year.
Appendectomy
Even with all this good news for
Canham, Michigan's chances at
garnishing the Big Ten Outdoor
Track title to go with its indoor
title were diminished slightly yes-
terday when sophomore Ted Ben-
edict was rushed to the hospital
with an emergency appendectomy.
Benedict will be out for the rest
of the season and his absence will
be felt in the two mile. Last week-
end at Penn State Benedict fin-
ished first ahead of teammate
Chris Murray in 9:22.9.

Dashman Dorie Reid who tied
with two others for the best time
in the country at 50 yards with a
:05.2, has been slightly injured
ever since the Penn Relays and
hasn't been able to get up to par.
Canham, however, feels that Reid
should be back in time for the
conference championships.

3:15.3, and the two mile relay
14th with 7:39.7.
Host Chicago Club
This weekend= the Wolverines
will play host to the Chicago
Track Club. This will be the only
home meet of the season for
Michigan. Then only the Indiana
Federation Meet remains before
the Big Ten Conference Cham-
pionships on May 22-23.
In the outdoor championships
Michigan will once again be fav-
ored along-with Wisconsin to win
the title. Indoors the Wolverines
beat out the Badgers 67-48 for
first place.
In last year's outdoors cham-
pionships Michigan finished third
behind Iowa and Wisconsin after
tieing for first indoors with Iowa.
Lascari T o
Try Out for
Oymincs
Arno Lascari, who was named
to the third team of 1964 All-
American gymnastics squad, will
be trying to make the Olympic
team this week.
The Michigan senior will be
competing 'at the Merchant Ma-
rine Academy in Keenspoint, N.Y.,
on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. In order to qualify for the
final Olympic trials, which will
be held later this summer at the
New York World's Fair, Lascari
must achieve at least a 8.5 average
on each of the six Olympic events.
The events include: floor exercise,
side horse, high bar, rings and
vaulting.
Lascari was hindered most of
the gymnastics season by an in-
jured elbow. At Monday's practice,
he said that his elbow was improv-
ing but he still felt some pain.
The Wolverine gymnast is hoping
that it will be fully recovered by
the end of the summer.
Out of the top ten gymnasts at
the final Olympic trials in, New
York,- six athletes will be chosen
by a selection committee to rep-
resent the United States in the
Olympic games.
