six. THE MICHIGAN DAULV s1x THE('1iTGAN 11TI.V 'ISDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1961 gagers Host Powerful Bowling Green HOPEFUL OF BIG TEN CROWN: Hynds, LaRose, Sophomores To. Lead Michigan Gymnasts Tr.. T^IW Alonl oT F" By JOE APPELT The Michigan basketball team will attempt to move one game over 500 tonight againstnBowling Green, but it won't be easy ac- cording, to assistant coach Jim Skala. The game will start at 8:00, immediately following a freshman game. The warm-up might be worth watching because freshman coach Tom Jorgenson says he has a pretty talented group, headed by 6"7" Bill Buntin. Skala predicts that Bowling Green, with 6'11" Nate Thurmond clearing the boards, will be "the strongest team we will have faced so far this season." The Falcons are holders of a 4-1 record including an opening victory over Bradley, one of the nation's best. The lone def.eat came at the hands of Duquesne Tuesday night. Bowling Green plays a "wide open, fast break type of offense with very few patterns," accord- ing to Skala. In five games they have averaged 79.8 points a game with four starters averaging in double figures. Skala claims, though, that "de- fense is their strongest point," and statistics back him up. Op- ponents in five games have aver- aged a mere 56.2 points a game. "They are quick, agile ballhawks who often steal the ball," he con- tinued. Thurmond, a preseason all- American candidate, was second only to Jerry Lucas in rebound percentage last year. He has con- tinued in this vein this year aver- aging 14 rebounds a game to lead his team. "He discourages shooting in close," commented Skala, "as he blocks about 13 shots a game." Although his scoring average has fillen off last year's pace, it is explicable by the fact that his chief function is to clear the boards to start the fast break. Guard Howard Komives has led the scoring attack so far this season. The sophomore has an 18- point average and after four games had made 28 of 29 free throws, a fabulous .967 average. The forwards are Elijah Chat- man, who at 6'3" is second to Thurmond in the rebounding de- partment, and Wavey Junior 6'1". The other guard is Bobby Daw- son the only starter not averaging in double-figures. He has stamped himself, though, as the floor leader of the squad setting up plays and battling defensively. One thing that might go in Michigan's favor ,is the fact that Bowling Green has not fared well away from home. Last year the Falcons lost all ten of their road games. This year after winning their first three at home, they downed an inferior Western On- tario University team in London, Ontario, but fell to Duquense in Pittsburg. Michigan has won both its games at home. E\ 'M' Cindermen Compete In Intrasquad Meet Track Coach Don Canham un-t veiled his 1962 track squad at the annual pre-Christmas intra-squad meet last night. Three freshmen who were im- pressive were hurdler Clarence Brown, half-miler Gary Hughes, and dashman Sam Dyke. The three-quarter mile run pro- duced a mild surprise as newcom- er Dave Neahusen nipped highly rated sophomore David Hayes in the last turn to take the run in 3:09.4 which according to Can- ham would be the equivalent of a 4:15 mile. In the other distance event, the two-mile run, Dennis Murray pulled away from the pack in the final two laps to take the race in a time of 9:37.8 de- spite a strong finishing effort by William Bachrach. The 60-yd. dash was perhaps the strongest showing. Sophomore sprinter Ken Hunter and Mac Burnley both finished in times of :06.3 despite the fact that both were bothered by leg injuries. The high hurdles were won by junior Richard Thelwell in a time of :08.4. He was closely followed "SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS SIMPLY... WITH ELEGANCE... f II LI McCOY'S CARD & PHOTO 723 N. U., Ann Arbor NO 3-4512 by Brown who finished at the same time. The lows were won by Mason in a time of :07.9. This event was marred, however, by a! bad fall on the final hurdle tak- en by junior Canadian hurdles champion Cliff Nuttall. The middle distances were char- acterized by steady, if not flashy, running. Jay Sampson -took the 1,000-yd. run in a time of 2:22.1 and veteran Wolverine runner' Charlie Aquino captured the 880 in a time of' 1:57.4. Ergas Leps was not in action be- cause of a minor nerve aggrava- tion of his right knee. Collegiate Attendance Up; OSU Tops, NEW YORK (AP)-College foot- ball attendance was up 1.34 per cent this season over the figuresl of a year ago, a survey yesterday disclosed. it was the eighth straight in- crease. The Big Ten figures were down 1.88 per cent but Ohio State again led the nation in total attend- ance with 414,712 fans. The aver- age attendance at Ohio State in 1961 was 82,942 as compared with 82,717 last year. It is the tenth time in the 11 years of the Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau survey .that Ohio State has led the field. Michigan is the only other school to have occupied the first-place spot.

Immediately following Christ- mas vacation, the Wolverines travel to Champaign to take on the perennially tough Illini Jan- uary 6, in their opening dual meet of the season. Accordingly, most of the boys will remain in Ann Arbor to work out with Coach Newt Loken. The Wolverines' strength will not be tested after the Illinois meet until January 28 when they face a much-improved Iowa squad in a meet to be held at East Lans- ing; however, Coach Loken has some surprises in store for the first home meet against Central Michigan January 12, in the form of exhibitions by girl gymnasts. Hynds, LaRose Star Besides Captain Tom Osterland Michigan will be counting on two juniors, Gil LaRose and Jim Hynds, to hurdle them past Illi- nois and into a repeat Big Ten gymnastics crown. Hynds finished third in all- around in last year's conference meet. Last week in the Midwest Open at Chicago he was eighth in all-around. Loken cites Hynds' steady performance as a key fac- tor in the Wolverines' drive for Big Ten supremacy. "LaRose has been working for consistency on his routine;" says Loken. The consistency has paid off. In the Midwest Open LaRose fin- ished a strong third in all-around. The little French-Canadian also was fourth on the parallel bars, seventh on high bars, and eighth on the sidehorse. Osterland Injured Although hampered by a back injury which kept him from work- ing out previous to the Chicago meet, Osterland placed fourth. He was Big Ten and NAAU champ at rebound tumbling (trampoline) last year and is expected to be a stalwart in his specialty as well as in tumbling. "Sidehorsemen Lew Fenner did real well at Chicago against some fine competition and will be of great help to us this year," com- ments Loken. Ralph Bromund and John Buss provide additional experience for the Wolverines; however, Loken's big question mark will be his'soph- omores. Sophomores Hold Key Four sophomores will compete this year. They are Arno Lascari, Lewis Hyman, Paul Levy, and Phil Bolton. Lascari is an all-around man from Buffalo. "He has a lot of po- tential and a little experience could make him an outstanding all- around man," remarks Loken. "Lascari is a hard worker and should add many points for Mich- igan this season. He was hamper- Open, not a bad performance con- sidering the competition." Levy, the red-headed side- horseman from Winnetka, Ill., slipped after he had completed the toughest part of his routine in the Midwest Open. He is an- other sophomore who should earn a number of points for the Wol- verines before the close of the year. Bolton is a tumbler and togeth- er with Lascari, Hyman, and Levy forms a solid quartet of sopho- mores capable of competing on any team in the country. NFL Rams Si11n Gabriel LOS ANGELES (RP)-North Car- olina State's Roman Gabriel, the passing ace Los Angeles had in mind when it traded away star end Del Shofner, announced yes- terday he had signed with the Rams of the National Football League. Gabriel was the Rams' No. 1 pick in the recent NFL draft. They had second choice in the draft as a result of a controversial deal that had sent Shofner to the New York Giants. The Giants, who had obtained Minnesota's No. 1 draft choice 'last summer in exchange for vet- eran quarterback George Shaw, turned the Vikings' pick over to Los Angeles for Shofner. 1 JIM HYNDS .. all-around standout ed in the Midwest Open by an in- jury incurred while doing his still ring routine."

Tonight he will be thoroughly tested as he will be pitted against Bowling Green's 6'11" center, Nate Thurmond. The above play, with Harris tipping to Tom Cole on left, who in turn passes off to one of the guards who lays it up, has been successful several times this season.

Jones Clicks Almost keeping pace with Cham- berlain was Boston's Sam Jones, who clicked for 35 points in an outstanding performance. Boston led at the half 60-55, but had opened up a 13-point ad- vantage 95-82, by the end of the third period. The Warriors never got close thereafter. This victory gave Boston a 4-0 lead in the season's series be- tween the two bitter foes. Chicago trailed New York 88- 82 going into the final period and by as much as 10 points later in the period before Chicago ran seven straight points to close the gap. * * * SYRACUSE (A) - The Cincin- nati Royals put on a record- setting shooting performance in the first half last night, but had to rely on Jack Twyman's clutch baskets in the last quarter for a 136-126 National Basketball As- sociation victory over Syracuse. The Royals set court records with 19 first 'quarter field goals, 33 in the first half, 73 points at halftime and 101 points at the three-quarter mark.
