Young will join the Wings

The Red Wings announced the
lifting of Young's suspension with-

Young, 25, had been put on the
sidelines Tuesday by the club "in-
definitely" when he failed to show
up for practice and disregarded
training rules. He had just com-
pleted a three-game suspension by
the National Hockey League for
his Feb. 17 run-in with referee
Frank Udvari at a game with
Montreal. Young set an NHL rec-
ord of 27 minutes in the penalty
box in the game.

in the two suspensions the Red
Wings lost four.

Swimmers To Battle Michigan State;
Spartans Boast Outstanding Freestylers
By BOB ZWINCK
Special To The Daily
EAST LANSING-Coach Charlie
McCaffree will pit his top-flight
Spartan freestylers against Michi-
gan's well-balanced tank team
here this afternoon.
Some outstanding performances
should be turned in since this is
the last dual meet of the season
for both squads before next week's
Big Ten championships.
Although State can count on
strong showings in the sprints and
the freestyle relay, they still have
v
to rely on a lot of points in their
not-so strong events to topple the
Wolverines.
Last year's 400-yd. freestyle re-
lay team set records in both the
Big Ten (3:14.5) and NCAA
(3:15.8) championships. Three of
these swimmers, Bill Wood and
co-captains Mike Wood (no rela-
tion) and Jeff Mattson, are back
this year and have teamed up with
sophomore Mike Atwood to go un-
defeated thus far.
The Spartans have also racked
up a lot of points in the sprints,
which they usually commandeer
in dual meets.
Mike Wood is the top State
threat in the 200. He is having
another fine year after finishing
first in the conference and third
in the nationals at the 220-yd.
'distance in '62. Also a strong per-
former in the 100, he took third
in the Big Tens last year.
Riutta Jhallenges
Mattson and Atwood form a
fleet one-two punch in both the
100 and the 50. But Michigan
coach Gus Stager plans to land
a punch of his own in the person
of Jim Riutta at the 50-yd. dis-
tance. Though admitting it is a
real tough job to crack into State's
freestyle barrier, he says "I think
we have a chance at the 50."
Meaning Riutta? "Yes." His times
have shown improvement through-
out the season. Against Ohio State
last week he turned in the best
performance this year, 22.4, cut-
ting half a second off his times
of earlier meets. A top effort, when
compared to State times at this
distance would indeed put Riutta
on top.
McCaffree can use outstanding
sophomore Dick Gretzinger in tine
500, butterfly, or individual med-
ley. But regardless of what he
swims, a host of opponets will
eager to take him on. In the 500
he would face a formidable duo
in Roy Burry and Tom Dudley who
finished 1-2 against Ohio State
as both went under the existing
varsity record.
Butterfliers
Jeff Moore and Jeff Longstreth
or Enn Mannard will confront
Gretzinger and Chuck Strong in
the 200-yd. butterfly. Lannie Rep-
pert and Longstreth will repre-
sent the Blue team in the in-
dividual medley.
Breaststroker Bill Driver pre-
sents \ a threat to Michigan's pair
of Dick Nelson and Geza Bodolay.
Nelson and Bodolay came home
fifth and sixth in the big Tens
last year while Diver finished
close behind in the eighth slot.
The backstroke should be an-
other close race, perhaps the
closest of the meet. MSU's Matt-
son has dropped only one- race, to
L. B. Schaefer of Ohio State, who
in turn was undefeated until Wol-
verine Ed Bartsch edged him iast
week.
The star for Michigan was goal-
ie Bob Gray. Gray made 48 saves
as compared to his counterpart,
Joe Lech's 19.
The Sioux started the scoring off
when Don Ross slapped the puck
in from the blue line at 9:46 of
the first period. Winger Bob Bart-
lett scored tallied the second North
Dakota goal when he beat Gray on
a breakaway.
Michigan's WCHA record now
stands at 3-13-3 and cannot pos-
sibly climb out of the league cel-
lar" Tonight's game will end Mich-
igan's dismal season. Presently the
Sioux and Denver are battling for
the top spot in the WCHA while
Minnesota and Michigan Tech are
close behind.
In last night's game Michigan
defenseman W a y n e Kartusch
again took the penalty honors with
three.
Michigan leading scorer Gary
Butler who supposetily was to miss
the series was able to play and
assisted on Wilkie's goal. Michi-
gan's skeleton crew was forced to
use forward Tom Pendlebury as
starting defenseman. Defenseman
Dave Newton was forced to miss
the series due to an injury.

By LLOYD GRAFF
Like two oil derricks on the
Texas prairie the renowned twin
tower offense of Illinois poses the
threat of gushing points in to-
day's last home basketball game
of the season.
Harry Combes, coach of the
Fighting Illini, has used the dou-
ble pivot or twin tower offense
against strong rebounding teams.
Michigan ranks first in total re-
bounds in' the conference which
means that 6'8" Bill Burwell will
often be accompanied by 6'9"
sophomore Skip Thoren in the cen-
ter slot. Burwell has starred in
his last two games against Wis-
consin and Minnesota yanking his
point average up from 12.8 to 15.2.
Thoren has shown improved re-
bounding strength in recent games
plus a steady rise in scoring.
Free Outsiders
The twin totems have tended to
free Illinois' deadly outside shoot-
ers, Dave Downey, Bill Small, and
Bob Starnes. Tal Brody plays
guardwhentheyaplay the single
pivot. Downey ranks sixth in Big
Ten scoring with a 21.5 average
while Small has racked up a 19.8
mean.
For the Wolverines today's con-
test will be the last of the season
at home. Seniors Tom Cole, John
Harris, and John Oosterbaan will
be playing their last game in Yost
Field House before an expected ca-
pacity crowd. Cole is averaging
15.2 points a game, 19th in the
league, while Harris has an 8.8
average. Oosterbaan has been
Coach Strack's ace replacement
when a flurry of points has been
needed.
Michigan brings a 6-5 Big Ten
record into the game while Illi-
nois is 9-2. The contest is of cru-
cial importance to both teams in
the championship race. Illinois is
tied with Ohio State for first place
while the Blue are alone in fifth
place just one game out of third.
Ohio State takes on hapless Pur-
due at Columbus.
Approaches Records
Michigan center Bill Buntin will
be nearing some Michigan records
today. He needs 62 points in the
next three games to beat M. C.
Burton's conference scoring mark,
and 60 to surpass John Tidwell's,
single season record. Buntin has
meshed 460 points in 21 games for
the entire season, 255 in Big Ten
play. The big center leads the
league in rebounds with 174 in 11
games but trails Burton's school
record of 249.
Besides being Tom Cole's last
game at home it will be the end
of a personal battle between Cole,
Downey, and Small. All three play-
ed in the Illinois State High School
basketball tournament w h i c h
Springfield, Cole's alma mater,
went on to win. Downey played for
Canton and Small for Aurora. Ken
Siebel, who is finishing out his
collegiate career at Wisconsin, al-
so starred in that tourney. While
Cole has been playing for Michi-
gan, the two teams have split the
pair of contests between them.
Result: All 3-speed manual

Ford-built cars with V-8's
now are fully synchronized
in each forward gear
To get more "go" in low, Ford engineers
were asked to upgrade the conventional
3-speed transmission to give drivers
more control in all three forward gears-
to make "low" a driving gear-and. they
tackled the problem imaginatively.
Their achievement, another Ford First,
is the only U.S. 3-speed manual trans-
mission with all three forward gears
fully synchronized 1 No need now to come
to a complete stop when you shift into
low-and no clashing gears! It lets you
keep more torque on tap for negotiating
sharp turns and steep grades. It makes
driving more flexible, more pleasurable.

This pen can save you money on cartridges. Parker
Super Quink cartridges are BIGGER and last longer
(each is good for 8 or 9 thousand words). But, even
if you didn't save a dime, this pen would be worth
the extra price. It's a Parker.
And only Parker gives you a solid 14K gold point
tipped with plathenium-one of the hardest,
smoothest alloys ever developed. It should last
you for years no matter how much you use it.
The pen won't leak the way cheap ones do. It
has a built-in safety reservoir, and meets most of
the tough specifications we set for our $10 pens.
if you have trouble saying it, say it with a Parker.
If you're a little shy and have difficulty saying "I
love you" or even "I like you very much"-say it
with a Parker.
The new Parker Arrow makes a beautifully ex-
pressive gift and looks as if you paid a small fortune
for it.
The new Parker Arrow comes in black, dark blue,

Includes five free Super Quink cartridges with
