Graham, a lean 6'5" 'forward,
whose every basket frustrated a
Michigan rally, scored 12 points
and pulled down 11 rebounds,
three of which he tapped in for
sensational field goals in the first
half.
Robinson Adds Nine
With Dave Robinson adding
nine points and ten rebounds and
holding Michigan's John Harrk
to nine points, the Quakers con-
trolled the boards throughout (47'
rebounds to 34) and would have
coasted except forthe hot hand
of Oosterbaan, who hit his first
five shots and led all scorers with
17 points before fouling out just
as the Quakers began their late
spurt.
Bob Purdy led the Penn attack
with 15 points, but Sid Amira's 11
counters and Ray Carazo's ten
meant a balanced attack which
had McCloskey grinning from ear
to ear.
Cantrell, Herner, Cole Score
Bob Cantrell, Doug Herner and
Tom Cole each added nine points
to round out Michigan's scoring.
The Wolverines ran into foul
trouble with Harris fouling out
along with Oosterbaan and Cap-
tain Jon Hall having four. per-
sonals.
Football captain - elect Bob
Brown made his first basketball
appearance for the Wolverines
and also collected three fouls.
Brown had worked out with the
team since the end of the football
season and made the trip to pro-
vide extra depth.

Coach Cliff Keen's Michigan
grapplers are all set to tear the
lid off a brand-new winter come
Saturday evening.
The matmen initiate the sea-
son at Hofstra and follow-up in a
short East Coast tour encounter-
ing the Middies from the U.S.
Naval Academy at Annapolis on
Monday.
Wrestling Emphasized
Hofstra, a suburban Long Is-
land, N.Y., college of almost 9,000
students, concentrates on wres-
tling as the number one sports at-
traction.
"Hofstra ranks as one of the
finest small - college wrestling
teams in the nation," says Keen,
"and they're constantly gathering
top-notch material from some
great high school squads in the
Long Island area," Keen said.
And, according to reports from
Flying Dutchmen athletic circles
this year "the outlook is frankly
for the strongest Hofstra wres-
tling team ever.
Seniors Don Hannon in the 123-
pound class and Richie Huller at
157 pace a Hofstra team of vet-
erans that are backed up by some
of the most outstanding juniors
and sophomores that have ever
taken to the mats for the East
Coast school. Both Hannon and
Muller have compiled 20-3 dual
match records for two seasons.,
One Previous Meet
Hofstra and Michigan have
clashed only once before on the
mats, that being in 1954 when the
Wolverines took the Dutchmen for
a 26-6 count.
The Hofstra meet, followed by
another strong Eastern wrestling
power, Navy, will give Coach Keen
plenty of opportunity to size up
this year's crew of Wolverine mat-
men.
... And Then the Big Ten
After the two early-season en-
counters, Michigan's grapplers
head into Big Ten competition
where a list of favorites for top-
spot honors, sounds like a listing
of conference schools in a college
guide. A meet with Indiana at
Bloomington will precede the first
home competition with Pittsburgh
on January 6.
From then on out will be plow-
ing through a muscle-toned Big
Ten schedule for Keen's men with
a climaxing Western Conference
meet at Minneapolis on March 2-
3.
urday, 74-60, with a late splurge
of its own, but didn't have it last
night. For Pennsylvania, the top
pre-season choice for the Ivy
League crown, it was an impres-
sive opening game win.
The Wolverines will fly back to
Ann Arbor today and start work
for Saturday's encounter with
Butler.
Michigan's next home game is
Monday night against Denver.

Something new will be added at
Michigan home swimming meets
this year, as an automatic judging
an dtiming device will be tested
in comparison with human timers.
Michigan's 27th annual Swim
Gala here this Saturday will fea-
ture the automatic system. It will
be the first meet in history that
uses a machine which can even-
tually eliminate completely the
human element in timing races.
Michigan swimming Coach Gus
Stager hopes to get the support
of American coaches and officials
so that .the device might be ac-
cepted in time for use in the 1964
Olympics.
Hot Debate
It was the lack of a suitable
automatic device which led to the
big squabble over the 100-meter
freestyle in 1960, in which Aus-
tralia's John Devitt was declared
the winner over America's Lance
Larson.
The problem of accurate judg-
ing and timing in swimming
events is more difficult to solve1
than for any other racing event.
The reason for the difficulty is
that the swimmer may finish the
race by touching the end of the
pool either above or below the sur-
face of the water and the view of
the finish is in part obscured by
the wave motion and splash. ]
a
AUTOMATION STRIKES AGAIN?-This is the automatic timing
device which swimming Coach Gus Stager hopes can eliminate
the need for human timers. Each lane has an electronic plate
(right) which registers times and places on a scoreboard through
the mounted mechanism (left).

Trouble?
PITTSBURGH ( P) - Backfield

After eight years of experi-
ments here at Michigan, Stager
and Prof. William C. Parkinson of
the physics department believe
they have a good solution in an
automatic judging and timing de-
vice.
The contact unit, which provides
a definite signal the instant the
swmmer touches the end of the
pool, is the key to the entire prob-
lem. Given a suitable signal from
the contact unit, the construction
of an instrument to indicate the
order of finish and times for each
contestant is essentially trivial be-

cause of the variety of modern
electronic equipment available.
The contact unit as developed
is essentially an open electrical
switch that is closed by'the touch
of the swimmer's hand or finger
but is unaffected by waves or
splashes. There are six of these 40"
x 15" plates now in use at the
Michigan varsity pool.
Mounted on Block
The contact unit is mounted on
a starting block. The units can
be moun d easily and quickly by
inserting two pins and a cable
plug and are hinged so they may
be rotated up and out of the water
at the start and during the race.
They are then" dropped into po-
sitionfor " the finish after the
swimmer has made his last turn.
For the start of the 'backstroke
the plate is swung to one side.
The"judgingcircuit has an ac-
curacy of approximately five-mil-
lionths of a second which means
that a dead-heat will be recorded
only if two swimmers touch with-
in five-millionths of a second.

You can see the whole picture (and help
frame it) when you apply your engineering
skills to any of the intriguing projects in
which Data-Design Laboratories is now in-
volved.
As a Data-Design engineer, you will have
an opportunity to pit your professional
know-how against the most advanced weap.
ons systems concepts-systems and equip.
ment that continually strain the state of the
electronics art. You will work with the scien-
tists and engineers who originate today's
equipment and systems to create technical,
data that interpret these complex equip-
ments. You will responsible for generating
accurate data that will be used to set up,
calibrate, and maintain complex equipment
and to assure proper integration of the
equipment and subsystems into an overall
operational system.,
Data-Design is presently engaged in many
projects that place our engineers in the van-
guard of the electronics frontier - digital
computers, solid-state devices, telemetering,
celestial and inertial navigation systems, au-
tomatic electronic test equipment, fire control
systems, and many others.
As Data-Design engineer you will work in
a friendly, professional environment with an
opportunity to grow professionally and finan.
cially with a growing leader in a growing
industry.
L IVING CWNITIOWS
Southern California's famous climate is an
eve: present inducement to enjoy the myriad
of recreational activities - 1-hour's drive
to the warm sands of the Pacific Ocean
beaches or the vast California deserts-or, if
you will, to the ski lifts high in the snow-
capped mountains.
Ontario, with its adjoining cities, offers all
of the conveniences, goods, and services of
a metropolitan area, yet retains the delight-
ful air of "small town" living. New modern
housing is available in abundance, at low
cost, and with a wide selection of areas.
Educational facilities in the Ontario area,
for graduate work or for refresher courses,
are superb. Eight colleges of recognized
standing are located within a 15-mile radius.
SALARIES
Data-Design's salaries are not limited by
predetermined structure. You will establish
your own limits by your proven ability and
willingness to grow with a growing young
corporation. Our present engineering sal-
aries are among the highest in the electrontc3
industry.
