Swimming Meet, which starts to-
morrow at Lafayette.)
By BILL BULLARD
"We've got to pull a Richard-
son," said Coach Gus Stager at
the start of the week before leav-
ing for the Big Ten Swimm'ng
Championships.
Stager was referring to the
startling performance of Minne-
sota sophomore Walt Richardson
in the Gopher's Feb. 23 meet with
Indiana. Richardson swam the
200-yd.' butterfly almost three full
seconds under his best previous
time to beat Hoosiers Larry Schul-
hof and Fred Schmidt.
There were several startling
thin s about this race. First,
Richardson set an NCAA and
American record of 1:55.2 in win-
ning. Second, he beat two swim-
mers who previously held world
records in the butterfly and who
share world records with their
teammatesin the medley relay.
Third, it was the first time that
the two Hoosiers had ever been
beaten in the same race.
Stager's point was just the fol-
lowing: Michigan will be battling
Minnesota, Ohio State and Mich-
igan State for second place be-
hind Indiana at the Big Ten Meet.
"Indiana is going, to take first
and serond place in most of the
events," he predicted.
The other three teams which
the Wolverines have to beat out
for second place have the swim-
mers to take the few remaining
first and second places. But Mich-
igan is relying on team depth to
pull them through.
So Stager was just indicating
that it would--be nice if someone
on his team would pull off a
seemingly impossible upset ;and
win an event like Richardson did.
Stager has two candidates for this
upset role. They are sophomore
Ed Bartsch and senior Dick Nel-
son.
But as Stager pointed out, even
if Bartsch and Nelson could score
upset victories, Michigan would
still have to depend on its depth
more than any of the other chal-
lengers for a second place finish,
in the meet.
Minnesota has a "sure" winner
in the 50- and 100-yd. freestyle
with defending NCAA champion
Steve Jackman. The Gophers also
have contenders for first places in
Richardson and defending NCAA
200 - yd. breaststroke champion
Virgil Luken.

Michigan State has a "sure"
winner in defending Big Ten 220-
yd. freestyle champion Mike Wood
at the new. 200 yard distance. He
will also anchor a "sure" 400-yd.
freestyle relay winning team. Ohio
State has a "sure" diving cham-
pion in the defending NCAA low
and high board titlist Lou Vitucci.
Meanwhile, Michigan is not in
such bad shape going into the
meet as- it might seem. Last sea-
sol}'s team took second place in
the Big Ten Meet without taking
a single individual first place.
Stager correctly summarized
the situation when he said, "No
matter what position you're in
going into the championships, you
win the meet by your performance
in the preliminaries. You score
the points in the finals but you
can't do that unless. your swim-
mers qualify in the prelims."
Stager has reason to believe
that his swimmers will be reach-
ing their peak for the Big Ten
Meet. "Ohio State's swimmers
shaved for their meet with us;
Michigan State's swimmers shav-
ed for us also," he said. "We
haven't shaved yet but we will for
this weekend." Stager added, "It's
a proven fact that shaving helps
a swimming performance."
One factor which will hurt the
Wolverines and likewise the other
strong conferencehpowers is the
limitations on the number of
swimmers and divers that any
team can take to the meet. Only
18 swimmers can compete in the
meet for any one team. This
means that Michigan is leaving
behind such team members as
Warren Uhler, Paul Attar and
Enn Mannard. Both Uhler and
Mannard placed in the Big Ten
Meet last season. Diver Attar
would have a chance at placing
in the top six in the meet and
surely would be in the top 12
places. for which points are
awarded.
Also, each swimmer can only
compete in three events and one
relay whereas last season the
limit was four events and a relay.
There is another limit to the
number of swimmers from each
team that can compete In a
single event.
These limitations are designed
to help the weaker, teams in the
conference. Although the Big Ten
coaches last spring voted to award
points to the top 18 finishers in
each event, this action was vetoed
by the conference athletic direc-
tors.

Three Team
Battle Seen
For Matmen
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of two articles surveying the con-
ference teams in the Big Ten
wrestling meet which begins Fri-
day at Evanston.)
By TOM ROWLAND
This year, as always, it's a
"finders keepers" title race in Big
Ten wrestling circles, but the cen-
ter of attraction will be defend-
ing champ Iowa with challengers
Michigan and MichiganmState
when the conference matmen
tangle this Friday and Saturday
at Evanston.
The Hawkeyes chances of re-
peating again this year center on
a tough three-man nucleus of
Norman Parker, Tom Huff and
Steve Combs. Parker was 123-lb.
titlist a year ago and Huff took
the 130-lb. crown. Combs, a rug-
ged 167-pounder, was third in
1961 and second in 1962, says
"Maybe this will be my year."
But if action so far this winter
is any indication, the Hawks are.
in for a tough go. for the title.
Michigan State handed Iowa a
14-12 loss this year, and Michigan
followed up with 17-12 win over-
the Hawks.{
Michigan State lost only one
conference dual meet this season,
that to Michigan, 18-14. The
Spartans were hurt early in the
year when 137-lb. regular Tom
Huff suffered a knee injury that
put him out of action for the en-
tire schedule. Bob Archer, too,
was out of the 167-1b. slot for a
month but is now back wrestling
and will be ready for the Big Ten
Meet.
Michigan can point to its un-
defeated Big Ten season, but
much of the squad is untested in
conference meet action. Top nope3
rest with heavyweight Jack Bar-
den. Says Coach Cliff Keen:
"There are no weak sisters in
this conference. Purdue has a fine
147-pounder, Indiana is strong at
177, Minnesota at 157, Ohio State
at 123, and Ohio State at heavy-
weight.'
That Purdue 147-pounder is de-
fending champ Dave Gibson, un-
defeated in 20 matches this year.
Ind'ar.a's Dick Isot is another loss-
less inatman, grappling in the
177-?b. class.
MiVnnesota, third place finisher
last year, is in a rebuilding season
and probably w-mn't come as high
this time around

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of a two-part series previewing the
Big Ten gymnastics meet beginning
Friday in East Lansing.)
By MIKE BLOCK
It's awfully easy to get optimis-
tic about Michigan's chances in
this year's Big Ten gymnastics
meet.
The Wolverines, with a 6-0 rec-
ord in conference dual meets this
season, go into the meet as solid
favorites to cop their third con-
secutive conference crown. In com-
piling their undefeated mark, they
haven't even been challenged to
any great extent, winning every
match by a 2:1. point ratio.
This year's meet will take place
at Jenison 'Field House in East
Lansing, beginning this Friday af-
ternoon and winding up early
Saturday evening. Besides the
seven events 'normally performed
in dual meets (floor exercise,
Trampoline, sidehorse, high bar,
parallel bars, still rings, and tum-
bling) the long-horse vault and
the all-around are also included
in the conference meet. Both of
these are completed by the end
of the action Friday, as well as
the qualifying rounds for the other
seven.
Versatility Test
The all-around consists of a
gymnast's total performance in the
eight individual events; his score
is computed by adding his final
score on the longhorse to the total
of his qualifying scores in the
remainder of the events.
In each of the regular seven
events, 10 men qualify and go on
to Saturday's finals. After an
event is completed, the team of
the gymnast who has compiled
the highest score is awarded 11
points, the runner-up gets "nine,
the third-placer eight, and on
down the line to one for the tenth
man. In case of a tie, the points
are averaged, so that if two men
.deadlocked for sixth place, for
example, each would pick up 4/
counters.
Needless to say, the squad with
the most points when the smoke
clears is the winner and cham-
pion.
T4e Obstacles
Although the Wolverines are en-
tering the meet with high ex-
pectations, there are certain other
Big Ten teams who may give theni
some headaches before the tourn-
ament is over. Coach Newt Loken
lists Michigan State, Wisconsin
and Iowa as the most likely road-
blocks in Michigan's champion-
ship drive.
The Spartans fell to the Wol-
verines, 70-39, two weeks ago, but
in a meet of this kind, a couple of
first places and a few good all-
arounders can give quite different
results. Coach George Szypula's
men showed this last year when
they placed second in the Big Tens
at Columbus after compiling a re-
spectable, but not overwhelming,
6-3 conference dual meet mark.
Thisseason they were 6-1, count-
ing both Iowa and Wisconsin
among their victims.
In the Bag
The Spartans are practically as-
sured of one champion in the per-
son of last year's Big Ten ,and
NCAA titlist on the still rings,
Dale Cooper. State can be expect-
ed to add to 'Cooper's 11 points
via the performances of Bob Car-

man and Captain Jerry George in
the all-around. George is also a
threat on the sidehorse, having
topped Wolverines Gil Larose, Paul
Levy, and Arno Lascari in the dual
meet.
MSU also boost a flock of good
and improving sophomores who, if
nothing else, will be getting val-
uable experience in the upcoming
tourney, and may plague Michigan
in the future.
The Hawkeyes succumbed to the
Wolverines, 70-41, in a double
dual meet in which they also
knocked off Indiana 73-38, to in-
augurate the season. Coach Dick
Holzaepfel doesn't have any de-
fending Big Ten champs among
his charges, but he has basically
the same squad that placed fourth
in last year's meet.
Top Man
Iowa's chief threat is junior all-
arounder George Hery, whose
specialty is the Trampoline, and,
to round things out, is also a tum-
bler. Glenn Gails, anotherr ack of
all trades, is a rings expert, hav-
ing won that event against Michi-
gan, as did Hery on the Tramp.
Like the Spartans, the Hawk-
eyes are loaded with rookies, many
of whom have already proven their
ability in dual meets. Leading
them are Gallis and Steve Drish,
who should be a contender in the
all-around.
The Badgers are an unknown
factor as far as the Wolverines are
concerned, the two not having met
during the regular season. But
word is out that they're out to
improve on their eighth place
showing at Columbus last March.
Top man for Wisconsin is Larry
Roethlisberger, who does just
about everything there is to do
where gymnastics is concerned.
Also prominent are. Stan Hopper
on the rings and George Bauer on
the Tramp.
The Also-Rans
As far as the rest of the league
has developed, once-mighty Il-
linois has slipped considerably,
having little left but Hal Holmes;
who is generally regarded as the
best tumbler anywhere. Minnesota
started out strongly this year, but
was hurt by scholastic difficulties;
however, all-arqunder Larry Glea-
son and sideliorse expert Tom
Arneson promise to garner the
Gophers a respectable point total.
Ohio State and Iowa should also
gather some digits here and there,
but - for Northwestern and Purdue,
who didn't score at all in last
year's meet, the outlook is rather
bleak.
Cincinnati Still
Leads AP Poll
Cincinnati, which closed out its
regular season with a 23-1 mark,
topped the AP's weekly basketball,
