be trying to better these records
this weekend.
Pam Swart, a Ft. Lauderdale
import, is swimming in the Mich-
igan Championships for the first
time. She has a chance to tie Miss
Thrasher at four victories apiece.
But to do so she would have to
upset teammate Donna Conklin
in the 100-yd. backstroke.
Back in Action
Also swimming in the meet for
AASC are veterans Nancy Wager
and Jan Snavely. Miss Snavely
has come out of her brief retire-
ment to help her team.
There are two diving events,
one each from the one-meter and
three-meter boards. Micki King1
and June Mori are the Ann Arbor
divers competing. Miss King hopes
to add the 1963 state title to this
year's national collegiate cham-
pionships.
The teams that have entered
thus far are: Osborn S. C., Birm-
ingham "Maples" S. C., Battle
Creek S. C., -Turners S. C., De-
troit Patton Pool, Detroit Parks
and Recreation, Women's City
Club, Flint Olympians, Pontiac S.
C., and Garden City Parks and
Recreation.

Special To The Daily
EAST LANSING - Michigan's
Gymnastics team passed its first
big test of the Big Ten season
here last night, as it easily de-
feated Michigan State, 70-39.
The Wolverines captured five
out of seven first places as they
rolled to their fifth straight vic-
tory without a loss. For the tough,
but outmanned Spartans, it was
their first setback afterfive wins
in a row.
As usual, Michigan's best man-
ufacturer of points was Captain
Gil Larose. In his best perform-
ance of the year, Larose swept to
two firsts and three seconds in
the five events he entered, scor-
ing at least a 90.5 in every one.
Narrow Misses
Larose's firsts came in floor
exercise and on the high bar,
where he scored 92 and 94, re-
spectively. On both the sidehorse
and the parallel bars he missed
first place by half a point, suc-
cumbing to Spartan Captain Jerry
George on the former and team-
mate Arno Lascari on the latter.
On the still rings, he fell to MSU's
NCAA champion Dale Cooper.

Although Cooper's 96 was easily
the highest point count of the
meet, it was subpar for him. The
21-year-old Californian generally
scores between 98 and 100.
John Hamilton, who only fin-
ished fifth on the Trampoline last
Saturday against Illinois, rebound-

ed to walk away with the top
spot with a 90.5. The Wolverines'
final first was scored by tumbler
Mike Henderson, with teammate
Phil Bolton close on his heels.
Steady Jerry
Michigan State's steadiest point-
maker was George, with his first
ono the horse, a second, and two
thirds. He was runner-up to La-
rose in the floor ex, and took
the show position on the p-bars
and the rings.
Lettermen Dick Giliberto and
Bob Carman also added to State's
output, Giliberto with fifths in
floor exercise and the Tramp, and
a third in tumbling, and Carman
with a fifth on the high bar.

Szypula previewed things to come
with the accomplishments of four
sophomores. John Rohs tied Gili-
berto in the floor ex and finished
fourth on the horse, while Jim
Gregg was the highest-placing
soph in the meet with a second
on the Tramp. Second-year men
Dave Price and John Brodeur
finished fourth on the high bar

and fifth

Arno on Bars
Michigan's Lascari had an es-
pecially good night on the two
bar events, but also picked up
credit in floor ex, the horse and
the rings, although he was below
his usual performances on the last
two.
Larose, in copping his two firsts,
introduced two new routines, and
although they weren't done to per-
fection, they were difficult enough
to qualify as best in their respec-
tive events.
The Wolverines return home to-
morrow to face another undefeat-
ed team in Minnesota. From Ann
Arbor, the Gophers travel here to
face the Spartans in the last dual
meet for the season for both clubs.
Michigan's impressive win here
last night has shown Coach Newt
Loken that his team is good enough
to thrash soundly a winning squad,
in addition to the mediocre ones
the Wolverines have beaten so far
this year.

Extra Recruiting Woes

CHANGE of OWNERSHIP

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec-
ond of a two-part series dealing with
the problems of basketball recruit-
ing.)
By LLOYD GRAFF
The rivalry among colleges for
top high school athletes is as vig-
orous as the competition in which
the players will eventually engage.
Essentially, most colleges have
the same basic rewards to offer
the prospective basketball player,
the opportunity to obtain a college
education with its intellectual,
financial, and social remunera-
tion. The athlete is offered an
athletic scholarship which covers
room, board, and tuition while at
the University.
Restricted Eligibility.
There are definite restrictions
on who may be eligible for such a
scholarship. In the Big Ten an
athlete must be able to shqw by
his high school record and College
Board scores that he is capable of
getting a 1.7 average his fresh-
man year, 1.8 as a sophomore, etc.,
to get a grant-in-aid. At Michi-
gan an athlete must demontsrate
the potential to get a 2.0, enabling
other schools in the Big Ten to
get players that the Wolverines
cannot touch because of the higher
standards.
Coach Dave Strack points out
that the rigorous entrance require-

NO HORSING AROUND-Although Michigan gym captain Gil
Larose finished second on the sidehorse last night, he did it
with an impressive score of 94. Larose scored two other seconds
and two firsts to lead the Wolverines' conquest of Michigan State.

ments also work as an advantage
because they serve as an extra
enticement for the boy who excels
in both academics and athletics.
Most players realise that the op-
portunities to play pro basketball
are limited, therefore studies take
on an added importance.
Come Hither
When the Michigan coaching
trio- decides to go after a high
school star who is being sought
by several other universities they
often invite the boy to come to
Ann Arbor to look over the campus
and to talk to the players and
coaches of the team. This type of
personal contact recruiting was
particularly important in persuad-
ing several members of Michigan's
exciting freshman team to enroll.
The players, especially, play a
crucial role. They show the boys
things which the coach wouldn't
be able to. They enable the high
school prospect to find out in his
own mind whether he would be
compatible with the 'school. From
this point on it is up to him.
Mostly Midwest
Michigan obtains most of its
players from the quad state aXea
of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio. In recent years Illinois has
produced more Big Ten players
than any other state with Indiana
and Ohio runners-up. In the last
couple years Michigan high school
basketball has been upgraded to
the point where it is challenging
the rest of the, midwestern states
for high school basketball suprem-
acy.
Where the basketball is played
well, the scouts flock. Few schools
can exist only on the players pro-
duced in their home states, al-
though Ohio State has been a
notable exception. This l is where
alumni support comes in useful.
If an out-of-state area is Michi-
gan-conscious the chances of an
athlete attending are better.
Stranded
A problem in recruiting oat-of-
state players is often transporta-
tion. For this reason Michigan has
had difficulty snaring potential
players from southern Illinois and
Indiana, an area which perenially
produces outstanding ball players.
In home state recruiting trans-
portation is seldom a problem but
Michigan State is. MSU can take
students whose academic rating
makes them taboo for Michigan,
but they still must be above the
Big Ten minimum. The rivalry be-
tween the two schools passes from
the playing court to the banquet
table during the off season.
Thus the work goes on behind
the scenes, but not under the
table, by head coach Dave Strack,
and assistants Jim Skala, and Tom
Jorgenson to attract the kind of
student athletes who can revive
the latent basketball interest, of
Michigan which only a winning
team can arouse.
