hio State Worries Stager
IF ICERS ARE TO WIN:
Huskies Must Lose
By DAVE GOOD
i shadow is hanging over Mich-
1 swimming Coach Gus Stager
. his defending NCAA chain-
is despite the Wolverines' sec-
and third dual meet wins
week without a loss.t
ichigan bested a strong Min-
ota squad, 561/248%, in Min-
polis Thursday night and then
e Iowa State a taste of what
nming is like in the Big Ten.
trpuncing the Cyclones, 73-32,
lay night in Des Moines.
ut scouting reports and news-
er stories about Ohio State,
ch has polished off Michigan
te and Minnesota without any
ible, are making Stager think
b the Buckeyes are going to be
gh to head off for second place
he Big Ten meet next month.
Who's Who
idiana, with Chet Jastremski,
n Stock, Mike Troy, Pete Sintz,
n Somers, Lary Schulhof,] Ted
kles, etc., etc., has already been
ceded the championship.
[ don't see how we can finish
better than third, but of
rse you never can tell about
se things," commented Stager.
tager had warned at the begin-
g of the season that the Buck-
s.hadn't lost anybody from last
r's third-place finishers in the
AA meet except diver Tom
npf, whom they will hardly
s.
Vith Lou Vitucci and Juan Bo-
a, "they'll gair so many points
living .. ." grumbled Stager.
Bucks Everywhere
hey also have top men in the
aststroke (Tom Kovacs), back
ke (L. B. Schaefer), butterfly.
tie Wolfe), freestyle (John
in) and individual medley
arty Hull).
Michigan State, which swims
here Friday night, and the Goph-
ers, who upset the Spartans two
weeks ago, will also be factors in
the scranible for second.
And Stager was thanking his
lucky stars about the close Minne-
sota win. "We could have lost
that meet if they hadn't called
the ties right. Usually they'll call
them against you if you're the
visiting team. The officiating was
very, very fine.''
Two Ties
Mike Reissing tied the Gophers'
Bud Erickson in the 200-yd. back-
stroke in 2:04.9, only a half-sec-
ord off Fred Wolf's varsity rec-
ord, and Jim Kerr tied for third
in the 1OO;yd. freestyle.
Wolf came in a disappointing
fourth in both the backstroke and
individual medley against the
Gophers, but made Stager happy
with a fast split on the losing
medley relay team.j
Stager pointed out that the
Gophers were handicapped by the
absence of sophomdre sprinter
Ralph Allen, who was out with the
flu. "I think we could have won
it anyway," explained Stager, "but
It would have been closer.",
Sprinters Improve
Michigan sprinters Kerr and
Dennis Floden are back in the good
graces of their coach with their
one-three finish in the 50-yd. free-
style against the Gophers, Kerr
touching out Big Ten and NCAA
titlist Steve Jackman in :21.9.
"Kerr stole it," Stager said. "He
got off fast. They said Jackman
slipped on the block, but he didn't.
He was even with Kerr going out,
but Kerr swam away from him in
the second length. And the man'
Floden beat (Don Estes) was no
slouch, either."
Despite the Wolverines' big
point spread over Iowa State the
next night, Stager pointed out
that several of the races were
close, especially .the backstroke,
won by Reissing in 2:06.7 over Bud
Pierce of the Cyclones. "We were
getting the competition," he ob-
served. "We were just the better
team."
'M' Unstoppable
Managers?
The Michigan baseball team
needs managers. Any interested
freshman or sophomore wish-
ing to become a part of the
Wolverine diamond sport can
do so by calling Bruce Krop-
schot at NO 2-7409.
Michigan won everything but
the 400-yd. freestyle relay and the
individual medley, in #which Iowa
State's Paul Witherell beat Wolf
in 2:07.1.
Winners for Michigan besides
Reissing were Frank Berry, :51.7
in the 200-yd. freestyle and 2:09.7
in the 220; Floden, :22.9 in the 50;
Enn Mannard, 2:08.2 in the 200-
yd. butterfly; Captain Bill Darn-
ton, 4:35.3 in the 440-yd. free-
style; Dick Nelson, 2:23.9 in the
200-yd. breaststroke; Coy, 253.55
points in the diving; and Reissing,
Nelson, Bob Schaefer and Darnton,
3:49.4 in the 400-yd. medley re-
lay.

The Michigan hockey team's
chances of a first place Western
Collegiate'Hockey Association sea-
son have all but vanished, yet
things are still looking up for the
Wolverines.
Michigan Is Second
With Michigan's 4-1 loss to
Denver last Friday combined with
Michigan Tech's series sweep
a g a i n s t Michigan State, the
Huskies are in undisputed posses-
sion of first place. Michigan with
a record of 11-3 is solidly in sec-
ond. Tech has a record of 15-3.
However, the variable is Min-
nesota. According to a WCHA rule,
the playoffs will be held at Min-
neapolis if (and only if) Minne-
sota is in the top four. As of this
moment the Gophers are holding
down the fifth spot with a dismal
5-6-1 record.
Pioneers Are Third
Coach Murray Armstrong's pi-
oneers, with their two wins over
Michigan, have put themselves
into third place and are almost
sure bets for a playoff spot. Mich-
igan State is the big question
mark.
The Spartans, before the Michi-
gan series, were contenders for the
top spot, but currently they have
dropped to fourth position and are
a big question mark to remain in
the top four.,
Michigan Tech is in the best po-
sition of all the teams. The
Huskies have only two more con-
ference games left. They play
Minnesota at home this Friday
and Saturday. Tech has lost only
three games this season (all to
Michigan) and there is no reason
to believe that the Huskies can't
take Minnesota especially with
the added incentive of a WCHA
first place.
In addition to the two games
with Tech, the Gophers have a
North Dakota series at Grand
Forks. Last weekend the Sioux and
Gophers split at Minneapolis.
Denver has the toughest re-
maining schedule. The defending
NCAA champions have a tough
series with MSU after its Michi-
gan series. Denver finishes off
against Colorado College, winless
in 16 games.
North Dakota Out
North Dakota has no chance
mathematically. The Sioux have
been reduced to the rank of spoil-
ers.
Michigan's ticket manager Don
Weir has already begun making
provision for the playoffs to be
held at Ann Arbor. But as Weir
says, "the situation is still too
much up in the air to make any
sure plans." Weir has some tenta-
tive plans but the results of next
weekend's action might clear the
situation.
Michigan Coach Al Renfrew and
his team are now preparing for
the crucial home series with Den-
ver this weekend.
Renfrew naturally was disap-
pointed with the double loss to
Denver. "Sometimes you don't
play well and win andsometimes
you play good and lose. That's
what happened out at Denver.'
"We never should have lost that
second game. We completely out-
played them. We're a better team
than they are."

The Michigan gymnastics team
ntinued its display of power and
ilance with a 681/2-421/2 victory
'er the Buckeyes of Ohio State
st Saturday before a capacity
owd of more than 600 in the I-M
'm.
Win Fourth Straight
The victory was the Wolverine's
urth straight following the loss
a cliff-hanger at Illinois Jan-
iry 6.
Junior Gil LaRose," sophomore
no Lascari, and ;senior Captain
om Osterland led the Michigan
tack. LaRose was high point
an on high bar and in free ex-
cise. He placed third on Tram-
>line, unofficially tied for second
tstill rings, and tied for first on
arallel bars.
Lascari had previously been un-
eaten and untied on parallel bars.
aRose's 941/2 point total on par-
lel bars was undeniably his best
owing of the year in the,event.
e was first man up and executed
i impeccable routine to tie Las-
hri.
Lascari won still rings and high
ar besides tying LaRose on paral-
4 bars. He also placed in free ex-
else and sidehorse. Lascari's
dehorse performance was sur-
rising. Each time out he has im-
roved. His 90 in sidehorse Satur-
ay reflected his strong routine.,
Osterland Takes Two
Captain Tom Osterland easily
on tumbling and trampoline.:
enior Lew Fenner received 831/2
oints for his sidehorse perform-;
ice, but since Coach Newt Lo-.
m did not want to "run up the
ore," sophomore Paul Levy's 91
punted as first. Loken also had,
m Hynds, LaRose, Lascari, and
phomore Lewis Hyman compet-
ig without registering points.
Ohio State's co-captain Stu
reenberg posed the only threat
the Wolverines. He placed sec-
nd to LaRose and Osterland in
ee exercise and trampoline, the
rst two events of the afternoon.
his was the highest finish of any
uckeye in the meet.
Coach Loken made what may be
ne of the understatements of the
ear, when he said, "The boys are
oming ,right along," after -the
man, and Phil Bolton, not to men-
tion Lascari, have demonstrated a
constant trend toward consisten-
cy and improvenient in their rou-
tines. Hyman's tumbling score and
Levy's sidehorse score would have
been enough to place each in the
top ten last year in the Big Ten
tumbling or sidehorse event.
Besides constantly . improving
his parallel bar, high bar, and still
ring routines, Lascari has devel-
oped stronger routines in free ex-
ercise and sidehorse.
Exhibitions Enhance Meet
Fans at Saturday's meet were
treated to an excellent free exer-
cise exhibition by former Michigan
student and national free exercise
champion Carolyn Osborn. Before
the final event of the afternoon
Loken's boys demonstrated the
longhorse vault, which is used as a
part of the Big Ten all-around
competition and in the Olympics.
The Wolverines have three more
weeks before the Western Confer-
ence championship meet March
2-3 in Columbus. This Saturday
Michigan plays host to a weak In-
diana squad and the week after
the up-and-coming Spartans from
Michigan State invade Ann Arbor
for the final dual meet of the sea-
son.

By TOM WEBBER
The inability to overcome three
jinxes and some hot outside shoot-
ing by the Northwestern cagers
stymied Michigan's chances to
move up in the Big Ten standings
on Saturday.
The Wildcats ran away from the
Wolverines, 84-66.
The first thing noticable is that
the Wolverines have not shaken
the TV jinx that plagued the grid-
ders. (You remember the Ohio
State and Michigan State games.)
Stage Fright?
The cagers have been on nation-
al television twice, against Michi-
gan State and Northwestern, and
were favored to win both. Both
games came right after Michigan
had pulled an upset.
And, both times the opposing
coach decided it was time to shake
up his line-up for Michigan. Mich-
igan State started Fred Thomann,
a 6'9" center who had scored two
points all season along with two
others who started their first
game.
On Saturday Wildcat coach Bill
Rohr started a 6'9" center, Bill
Woislaw, who hadn't seen much
action, and two others who had
scored 14 points between them on
the season.
Broken Mirror?
The third jinx is indeed a for-
midable one. Michigan has not
beaten Northwestern in basketball
since Rohr became head coach
five years ago.
While M i c h i g a n was busy
battling the jinxes, Northwestern
turned in its best game of the
season, hitting a very good 48.6 per
cent from the floor. The Wildcats
also outrebounded the Wolverines
50-46, although this was supposed
to be a major weakness of the
team.
