(This is the second in a three-part
series analyzing Michigan's chances
in the upcoming Big Ten wrestling
meet.)
By TOM WEBBER
Michigan doesn't figure to score
many points in the four lowest
weight divisions, but the upper
six-that's where the strength lies.
And these are the weight classes
that are giving coach Cliff Keen a
headache this week. He has, in
Jim Blaker, Don Corriere, Dennis
Fitzgerald, Jack Barden, and Karl
Fink, five wrestlers who could go
all the way. It remains to Keen
to choose the weights in which
they stand the best chance of
winning.
To.Outfox Collins
The Wolverine coach needs all
the points he can get in the upper'
weights, and this means outfox-
ing Michigan State mentor Fend-
ley Collins. His main concern here
is with Barden and Fink.
The best weight for both of
them is 191, but to put them both

in that class would deprive Michi-
gan of some points and give Michi-
gan State an excellent chance to'
score points at heavyweight.
"I'd like to wrestle Fink at 191,
but I don't think Barden can
score as many points at heavy-
weight as he could at 191,' Keen
said. "I guess I'll move Fink up
to heavyweight and hope that
both of them' can go all the way,"
he added.
Weber a Problem
Of course there is one problem
with wrestling Fink at heavy-
weight, namely, Northwestern's
Rory Weber.
Fink has defeated Weber once
by a 2-1 score, but there is no
assurance that he can do it again.
Not to mention the fact that
Keen has fears that Michigan
State's Mike Senzig might just be
.able to slip into the 191-lb cham-
pionship.
Curtis Ineligible
And what about Guy Curtis,
Michigan's unofficial champ at
191-lbs last year, who lost his
eligibility for this semester? "That
really hurt. I could have put Bar-
den and him at heavyweight 'and
had no worries," Keen noted.
As of now Keen is pretty sure
that he will keep Corriere at 167-
lbs and Fitzgerald at 177-lbs.
Both of them could move down a
weight, but that would leave a
hole at 177-lbs. And this way, if
Purdue's Bob Marshall wrestles
at 157-lbs, Michigan State will be
shut out there.
Corriere and Fitzgerald are both
former conference titilists and
must rate the nod at their re-
spective weights this year.
Another Champ
In Blaker, Keen has another re-
turning Big Ten champ. Blaker
can go at either 147-lbs, or 157-
Ibs, but Keen has indicated that
he will probably go at the lower
weight.
That leaves Keen only one more
wrestler and one open weight. On
this decision he has set two alter-
natives.
"I'll either put john Hollen-
beck at 157-lbs, or I'll put Ted
Ludwig in at heavyweight along
with Fink and hope he can pick
up some points," he proposed.
All of this of course depends on
which one Keen thinks can get
the most points.
Such decisions as these are what
give Big Ten coaches gray hairs
around this time every year.

MINNEAPOLIS - North Da-

Jerry Walker are tied for the
scoring lead in the Western Col-
legiate Hockey Association.
But Colpitts has the tougher
hurdle as the teams head into the
final weekend of league actior
Colpitts has 17 goals and 20
assists; Walker has 26 goals and
11 assists, giving each 37 points.
Gordon (Red) Berenson of Michi-

However, swimming Legacki in
the butterfly would mean taking
him off a relay team since one
man can enter no more than three
events. Furthermore, the 100-yd.
butterfly finals are directly before
the 100-yd. freestyle finals, in
which Legacki is the defending
champ. It is doubtful that Legacki
could go at top speed twice within
so short a period of time,
Indiana could take first and
second in both backstroke races.
Frank McKinney is easily the class
of the field and Dick Beaver is
almost a full second ahead of any-
one else in the 200. Jeff Mattson
of Michigan State and Tom Mur-
ray and L. B. Schaeffer of Ohio
State all have recorded better
times than Alex Gaxiola and Fred
Wolf of Michigan.
Chet Jastremski and .John
Roethke of Indiana seem to be the
best bets for the 200-yd. individual
medley. Challenging for Michigan
will' be Wolf who won the race
in the 1960 championships at Ann
Arbor. Almost certain to tumble is
the Big Ten mark of 2:06.5 held
by former Wolverine captain Tony
Tashnick. Jastremski has done
2:04.0, Roethke 2:04.1, and Wolf,
2:05.9.
Position Solid
In the breaststroke, Michigan's
position seems solid, although In-
diana cannot be overlooked. Ron
Clark is riding on the crest of two
record-breaking performances and
must be rated a clear-cut favorite
over the Hoosier twosome of Jas-
tremski and Ken Nakasone in the
200-yd. event.
Last week Clark set a new Amer-
ican record of 2:31.1 for the 220
and the week before he broke his
own NCAA mark for the 200 with
a 2:15.9.
In the 100, the Wolverines will
take the wraps off sophomore Dick
Nelson, who holds the American
record for 100 yards.
Diving Strong
How many points Michigan ac-
cumulates in the two diving events
will depend mainly on how well
Bob Webster, Ron Jaco, and Pete
Cox do against Tom Gompf, Juan
Botella, and Lou Vitucci of Ohio
State and John Vogel of Purdue.
The Buckeyes will have the advan-
tage of performing in their own
pool.
The important thing is that In-
41ana does not have a diver who
can hope to break into, the top
five or six in each event. These
points gained by Michigan could
very well mean.the difference in
what figures to be a very closely
contested meet.
The best Michigan can hope for
in the medley and freestyle relays
is two seconds. Indiana should
have no trouble winning the 400-
yd. medley relay and the Wolver-
ines will most likely fight it out
with Michigan State for the run-
nerup spot.
Coach Gus Stager will probably
go with Gaxiola, backstroke, Nel-
son, breaststroke, Gillanders, but-
terfly, and Legacki, freestyle. A
possibility would be moving Le-
gacki to the butterfly leg and using
Dave Heizer or John McGuire as
anchorman.
Michigan State appears strong-
est in the 400-yd. freestyle relay.
Michigan will be without the serv-
ices of Legacki if he competes in
either the medley relay or 100-yd.
