Michi- gan State finished third behind Michigan and Illinois in the Big Ten championship meet." "Although the team, as a whole, did a great job last year, most of the credit for Michigan's success was due to the leadership and all- round ability of Captain Richard Montpetit," said Loken. Montpetit, a Canadian entrant in the 1960.Olympic Games, com- peted in every event for the Wol- verines. He accomplished a rarely seen feat by capturing four Big Ten titles.

THE RIG ThREE-That's, from/"eft, Tom Osterland, Jim Hynds, and Gil LaRose who are being counted upon by Gymnastics Coach Newt Loken to lead the Wolverines into their second straight Big Ten title, Osterland, who is the team captain as well as the captain of the cheerleaders, is the NCAA trampoline champion, but will enter the free exercise as well this year to add depth to the Michigan aq ad. your campus yearbookI (Continued from Page 1) New York City, and Pittsburgh- except for Lehigh the top wres- tling powers of the East." Concerning MSU, Keen said, "They're really going to be load- ey-ntr only do they have a great deal of their team returning, but also they have some really good men that can't even break into the starting lineup." Asked if MSU might be consid- ered the pre-season favorites for the Big Ten championship, the Wolverine coach stated, "Well, they've been favored before, and have lost, badly. Theres a lot of power in the Big Ten. We're not conceding them anything." Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota round out the top contenders. "All of them have a lot of meat, a lot of horses," remarked the Michigan mentor. Heavy Losses "Minnesota lost 17 men at one time or another last year due to injuries. Now no one, not even MSU with all its depth, can with- stand a blow like that. The Goph- ers should really be up this year." Not only that, but no team can be really counted out. Northwest- ern still has Rory Weber, two- time Big Ten heavyweight cham- pion, and other schools must be expected to put up their own bids. The Wolverines were going for an undefeated season last year when the Spartans came up for the second year in a row to snap the Michigan streak, 16-4. It was the only dual meet of the sea- son that the team lost both years. Provide Incentive These defeats alone should pro- vide enough incentive ifor the team, and added to this will be the desire to outshineKeen's past teams which have brought home 10 Big Ten championships in his 35-year coaching history at Mich- igan, the longest of any coach here. .One difference from a number of sports is that the Big Ten is not the top wrestling conference: Oklahoma State has won the NCAA championship 22 times, in- cluding last year, and Oklahoma has also won the title and has come in second (last year includ- ed) just aboutas manyntimes as Oklahoma State has won the top laurels. Takes Four Titles{ Besides winning the individual all-round event, Montpetit took titles iin parallel bars, high bars, and still rings. Loken. was "ex- tremely pleased by Moptpetit's ac- complishments," terming him "a great captain and leader." Loken loses only two men from his championship squad. Besides his star performer, Montpetit, Loken must do without the ser- vices of tumbler, Jimmy Brown, who is also lost through gradua- tion. Brown was second in theI NCAA tumbling meet. He finishedh behind teammate Tom Osterland and Illinois' returning star Hal Holmes in the Big Ten Tumbling championships. y Captains Team Osterland is this year's captain. He is NCAA champion on trampo- line. Osterland worked last year RICH MONTPETIT on trampoline and tumbling.
