olverines Meet Stronger Badgers

MSU GYMNASTS:
M' Attempts To Extend Victory Strea

By GEORGE WANSTALL
What a difference a year makes!
Michigan mentor, Don Ganham,
must be obsessed with this thought
as he prepares his cindermen for
their upcoming encounter with the
Badgers in Madison' tomorrow.
At this time last year, Wiscon-
son was about the last team in
Canham's mind as he prepared for
an upcoming meet with them-at

that titme the Big Ten Cham-
pionships. The Badgers' six points
in the meet was far from an in-
dication of an advent of track
power from Madison (The Wolver-
ines tallied 69 points to win).
Truth Hurts
What a difference a year DOES
make, however, as the Michigan
trackmen prepare for their dual
meet with the Wisconsin squad.

The Badgers are strong and po-
tentially threats in the Big Ten
Meet this year, to be held next'
weekend. Where does this leave
the Wolverines? Canham's com-
ments on the meet boil down to:
it ain't gonna be easy, for as the
centor commented: "The Badgers
have a squad which will give us
plenty of trouble."
In the field events 'M' shot-

putter Roger Schmitt will have to
come up with a heave of neraly
'four feet better than his farthest
put to date to match Big Don
Hendrickson. The hosts also have
the edge in the broad jump--Doug
Pride's season's best coming in
the Ohio State meet. Wolverine
Doug Niles' 21'10" is a far cry from
Pride's 22'91/".
The nod in the pole vault should
go to Michigan, but not by enough
to allow the event to be sewn up.
Rod Denhart's 14'4" is the team's
best, compared to Badger Jim
Nelson's 13'101".-Steve Overton
and George Wade are right on
Nelson's heels, however. The event
should sway either way, though
the Wolverines have the depth
here to pick up the majority of the
points, regardless of who takes
the honors.
Out of a Hat
The high jump should be an-
other hard one to pick. Wolverine
Steve Williams made his re-entry:
to Michigan sports last weekend
with a 6'4" leap to best the field.
in the contest. The Badger's top
man is Chuck Mohr who has
cleared 6'2". Williams was far
below his former best, and the
high, jump could swing our way,
but still it is far from sewn up.
On the cinders, things aren't
much better. In the sprints the
Badgers have Bill Smith, whose
:06.3 time in the 60-yd dash
should be good enough. Wolverine
Len Johnson covered the distance
in :06.4. Our other possibility is
Ken Burnley, but he has been
hurt, and is still a doubtful. Burn-
ley will run the 300-yd dash, the
600-yd run, and probably a leg
in the mile relay.
The hurdles are mostly "blue."
The Wolverine duo of Bennie Mc-
Rae and Dick Thelwell look pretty
solid in the high and in the lows
with the addition of Cliff Nuttall,
things should go our way as well.
In the 1,000-yd run, Charlie
Acquino will be out to match his
record time of 2:11.9 in last week's
triangular' meet which broke both
the Yost Field House and the
Michigan varsity records for the
event.
Leps' Best Clocking
Wolverine captain, Ergas Leps,
has run the mile in 4:11.8, .com-
pared with' Badger Don Loker's
4.16.9 clocking. The half mile is
a bit tighter, with the best Mich-
igan effort being Dave Hayes'
1;58.5.
If the status of Wisconsin's
team is any indication of the
complexion in the Big Ten this
season, the Big Ten Meet at East
Lansing should be a real squeaker,
both for the Wolverines who will
seek to retain their title, and for
any other of the several teams in
the conference who are strong
enough to constitute a challenge
to the Michigan cindermen.

Michigan will be trying to make
it six straight dual meet victor-
ies in a row tonight when they
round out the regular gymnastics
season in the I-M gymnasium at
8:00 p.m. against Michigan State.
The Wolverines won last year's
dual meet between the two schools
by a close 571/2-542 margin. Since
last year, Michigan lost the serv-
ices of NCAA tumbling champion
Needs Ushers
Ticket manager Don Weir
needs at least 40 ushers for the
WCHA championships next
weekend. He prefers those who
have ushered for him at the
football games, but will consider
anyone interested. Contact Mr.
Weir as soon as possible if you
are interested.
Jimmy Brown and all-around
great Richard Montpetit. The
Spartans have lost only two top
performers from last year's squad:
rebound tumbler Chuck Thomp-
son and free exercise standout
John Daniels.
With the exception of Montpet-
it and Brown the Michigan team
is virtually intact. To the strong
nucleus of Tom Osterland, Gil La-
In Half-Mile Relay:
Wenley Tops Field;
SAE Bests Frats
I-M action was not all confined
to basketball last night, as there
was action on the cinders as well.
The Field House reverberated
with the din of the annual all-
campus indoor 880-yd. relay, in
which all I-M units competed.
Wenley House carried all hon-
ors with their impressive time of
1:41.9. Covering the distance for
the winners were Pete Eisinger,
Mike Elledge, Bill Clarke, and Bud
Hamilton. Sigma Alpha Epsilon's
team of Jim Steckley, Dave Camp-
bell, Jim Ward, and Joe Jones
were second with a time of 1:42.3.
Finishing behind Wenley in the
residence halls division, were
Strauss, Gomberg, Kelsey, and
Huber, to round out the -top five.
SAE, the victor in the social
fraternity division, was closely
followed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Phi Ep-
silon, and Phi Delta Theta.

rose, Jim Hynds, and Lew Fenner,
Coach Newt Loken has added
sophomores Paul Levy, Lew Hy-
man, Phil Bolton, and all-around
standout Arno Lascari.
The Spartans have added still
rings artist Dale Cooper to their
contingent and he should make-
up for the loss of Thompson and
Daniels. According to his coach,'
George Stypula, Cooper is "one of
the finest ring men in the coun-
try."
Szypula's praise may be under-
stated. Last week in an away meetj
against Illinois, Cooper accom-
plished the almost unheard of feat
of receiving a 99 for his routine.
The 99 in gymnastics is rarer
than the 9.9 in diving since the
time needed to execute a still
rings routine is considerably long-
er than that needed for a dive.
Consequently, the judge has more
time to look for imperfections.
By way of comparison to Coop-
er's 99 last week, the winning
point total for still rings in last
year's Big Ten meet was 93.5,
awarded to Montpetit.
Other standouts for Michigan
State are Gani Browsh, who spe-
cializes in free exercise; Steve
Johnson, topnotch on trampoline
and tumbling; and Larry Bassett,
who works free exercise and par-
allel bars.
A large turnout is expected by
Loken and consequently arrange-
ments have been'made to provide
seating for all those wishing to see
the meet. There is no admission
charge to any student or faculty
member of the University. In ad-

dition to a fine meet, the Jackson
Tumbling Tots will be on hand
for an exhibition performance be-
tween events.
This evening's meet is the last
regular season competition for
seniors Fenner, Osterland, and
Ralph Bromund. Michigan State
also has a number of men for
whom today's competition will be
the last. Among them are Bassett,
sidehorseman Wayne Bergstrom,
Browsh, Captain Jim Durkee, and
Johnson.
Bassett tied for parallel bar
honors in last year's Big Ten meet
and will be a serious threat to the
Wolverine trio of Lascari, Hynds,
and Larose. Johnson was runner-

up in trampoline last year wb
Michigan captain Osterland w
the NAAU event.
Not only will seniors Fenner a
Bergstrom be vying for a sideho:
victory. Sophomores Jerry Geor
of State and Paul Levy of Mic]
gan are talented sidehorsem
capable of victory.
Another close contest will be
high bar. Michigan State's ca
tain, Durkee, although injured 1F
year, is a potential Big Ten wi
ner and will be fighting with t
Michigan aggregate led by Hyr
for top spot on high bar.
Although State was defeat
last week by Illinois, so was Mic
igan.

By BILL BULLARD
The Michigan swimming team
will face the stiffest challenge of
the season tomorrow against Ohio
'State at Columbus.
Both teams are unbeaten in dual
meet competition and both will be
after performances indicative of
a high finish in the Big Ten meet
March 1-3. Ohio State is favored
to win but the outcome of the
meet is enough in doubtthatna
victory by Michigan could not
really be termed an upset.
"It's a hard meet to evaluate,"
said Coach Gus Stager, "Before
the Michigan State meet I felt we
had an edge of one or two points.
I think Ohio State now has about
a five-point edge on us." As the
unezpected developments in the
Michigan State meet caused a 13-
point margin of victory for Michi-
gan, so the unexpected that hap-
pens in every meet could mean
anything from a more decisive
Buckeye win to a Wolverine con-
-quest.
Strength in Depth
If the Buckeyes have a team
weakness it is lack of depth in
certain events. "We have a little
more depth than they do," said
Coach Stager. Ohio State has at
least one capable swimmer in every
event but especially in the freestyle
races the Buckeyes sometimes are
forced to spread their talent
thinly.
Ohio State's outstanding free-
styler is John Plain who is the
best the Buckeyes have in the 50-,
100- and 220-yard freestyle events.
His times of 22.1, 49.0, and 2:03.3
in these events puts him among
the leaders - of the conference.
Plain has also been a member of
the medley and freestyle relay
teams.
Not Superman
Clearly he can not swim in all
these events. To back him up the
Buckeyes have Jack Foster (22.4)
at 50 yards, Marty Mull (50.5) at
100 yards and Orrin Nordstrom
(2:05.0) and John Westman
(2:07.0) at the, 220-yard distance.
Nordstrom is the leading Buckeye
in the 440-yard freestyle with a
time of 4:32.8.

Diving is again an OSU strength
as it has been for the past 26 years
when Buckeye divers have won 24
Big Ten championships. Juniors
Lou Vitucci and Juan Botella
scored 18% points last season in
the NCAA meet. Vitucci won two
Big Ten, one NCAA, and one NAAU
indoor titles in 1961. Botella, com-
peting for Mexico in 'the 1960
Olympics, won the bronze medal
for springboard diving.
In the specialty strokes, Ohio
State will be hard to match. Tom
Kovacs has dope the breaststroke
in 2:15.1 but no other Buckeye has
gone under 2:23. L. B. Schaefer
was timed at 2:00.1 for the back-
stroke and Chuck Hunter's best
time is 2:04.7'. Art Wolf (2:04.0)

Thrasher Gone,
Marty Mull is Ohio State's top
individual medley man (2:03.6).'
Due to the loss of Steve Thrasher
who was declared ineligible by the
athletic department pending ac-
tion on his case by Joint Judic,
Fred Wolf and Jeff Longstreth
will oppose Mull. Michigan has, a
time of 3:19.1 in the freestyle relay
which is faster than the Buckeye
foursome which has done 3:22.4.
Ohio State's NCAA championship
medley relay team which has been
timed at 3:40.9 this season is too
fast.for the Wolverines to beat.

You may have noticed that a number of the most in
people on campus are wearing sweatshirts quite a
niche or two above the average. Where, you ask
yourself, did they get them? Why do others always
find sweatshirts with pictures on the front of Beetho-
ven, Brahms or Bach before you do? Well, we don't
know where they got theirs (we could tell you, but
you can bet your sneakers we won't) ... but happily
we know where you can get yours, which is at our
store. They are in the same ugly grey that all ath-a-
letic things come in, and we have them in four sizes-
S (for women and very small men), M (for larger
ladiesand small men), ! (for roomy ladies and regu-
lar men), and XL (for terribly large ladies and huge
men). Not that they fit, anymore than any sweatshirt
does, but we make a stab at some tailoring finesse.
Anyway, you can rest assured that if you ever decide
to launder it, the clarity of the picture and the sta-
bility of the size are not remotely guaranteed. The
price-and we admit it's worth it to get the jump on

everyone else-is
