THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEV] THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE 8EV oache By JIM BERGER The Big Ten wrestling coaches have voted 6 to 4 in favor of dropping the 115-lb. and 191-lb. weight classes for the coming year. This action, taken last week, was made public yesterday by Michi- gan wrestling coach Cliff Keen. However, the decision will not be official until the Big Ten Athletic Directors confirm the coachs' ac- tion at their annual spring meet- ing which will be held at Iowa City this weekend. Trial Basis These two weights were initiated on a trial basis this year but obvi- ously the majority of the confer- ence coaches felt that the ex- panded 10-weight card should be replaced with the former eight weights. If this action is con- firmed, and Keen feels confident that it will, the eight weights next year will be 123-, 130-, 137-, 147-, 157-, 167-, 177-lbs. and heavy- weight. Needless to say, this action should help the Michigan team considerably in next year's cam- paign. The team will have three big holes to fill, namely captain Dennis Fitzgerald, Jim Blaker and Karl Fink, and with eight weights and five returning veterans plus new material, the team's future looks considerably brighter. Vote Weight Change . MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP: Tigers Top Orioles; ILead AL bys Three During the past season theI Michigan team had to go through quite an adaptation with the new weights. Nick Armelagos, who never wrestled before he came to college, and Willard Root had to be used at 115 and 123 pounds, and although Armelagos developed rapidly as the season wore on, he lost points in the process. "We just about had to starve Root to get him down to 115 pounds," Keen commented. And though Karl Fink, wrestling in the heavyweight class had a successful season, his true weight is 177 pounds. . Michigan in the past has not built its teams on solid men in every weight, but rather with out- standing men in some weights. Rugby Club Easily Posts Eighth Consecutive Whin On the other hand, Michigan State, which has a solid wrestler at every position, will be hurt if the action goes into effect. MSU Against Assistant MSU wrestling coach Grady Peninger was more than disappointed with the coachs' ac- tion. "We at Michigan State are 100 per cent against this action; in our opinion it doesn't make any' sense," Peninger said. "The Big Eight, probably the strongest wrestling conference in the country, has added the two weights, and the Eastern Collegi- ate Conference has 191 pounds," Peninger continued, "and the most important meet of the year, the NCAA meet, has 10 weights. "We think the only reason the six (schools) voted against it was that they just got behind in their recruiting," concluded the defiant coach. Whatever the case may be, only the action of the directors will make the coaches' decision final. By The Associated Press Detroit's front running Tigers snapped back from Sunday's dou- ble defeat at the hands of the New York Yankees and pounded out 15 hits in blasting the injury riddled Baltimore Orioles, 10-5, in Baltimore last night. In the National League San Francisco walloped the Chicago Cubs to increase their lead over the second place Los Angeles Dodgers to a game and a half. The Dodgers hosted Milwaukee in a night game. The Braves led, 6-2 after six innings. The Pittsburgh-St. Louis battle was rained out at Pittsburgh after two scoreless innings.

He'll probably run in the low hurdles and on a relay team. The Ann Arbor Rugby Club trounced the Minnesota Rugby Club 36-0 Saturday at Marquette Park in Chicago to keep its win- ning streak going in regulation 15- man Rugby. The victory preserved an eight game streak which extends from the end of last year. However, the Ann Arbor Ruggers came in second while competing in the 18 team, seven man Rugby meet at Toronto Saturday, May 6. The team was led Saturday by ex-Purdue footballer and All-Big Ten Quarterback Francie Gutman who scored three "tries". The "Try" is equivalent to the touch- down in American football with the exception that it counts three points. Tom Southwell opened the scor- ing Saturday. Ron Riosti and Cliff Colwell followed with "tries" to almost assure the Ann Arbor Rug- gers of a win, since three or four "tries" usually proves enough for a victory.r The team, however, kept pour- ing on the steam until it amassed its 36 point total. Other scorers besides Gutman were John Nie- huss, Terry Robinson, John Apple- ford and Whata Whiniata. Next Saturday The Ruggers will meet The St. Louis University Rugby Club at 2:00 p.m. at Wines Field for their final game of the season. "The St. Louis Club will be very tough," says Captain Gutman, "They tied earlier in the season with both Princeton and Yale i a four game series." In previous meets the Ann Arbor ruggers faced Middlewestern com- petition and won easily by com- paratively huge scores. The St. Louis University Club has also been successful this year, having beaten everyone in sight except for Yale and Princeton. Saturday's match will prove in- teresting in that it will provide the Ann Arbor Rugby club with an opportunity to compete against a club on a par with those of the East where Rugby is an important spring sport. Major League Standings Minnesota shutout Chicago 5-0 be- hind the four hit pitching of Ca- nilo Pascual, and Kansas City whipped Los Angeles, 5-3. The Tigers bunched their hits into three big innings, scoring three in the first, five in the sev- enth, and two in the eightl. Paul Foytack won his second against as many losses. The Or- ioles played without the services of slugger first-baseman Jim Gen- tile and star outfielder Jackie Brandt who are sidelined with in- juries. Never in Trouble The Indians were never in trou- ble as they moved past the Orioles into fourth place. A six run sec- ond inning sewed up Jim (Mud- cat) Grant's second win without a loss. The Twins posted their fourth straight success to move within one game of the second place Yan- kees who were idle. Harmon Kil- lebrew led the eight hit Minne- sota attack with ahdouble and a triple. Kansas City, with Joe Gordon directing the team from the press box, rallied for two in the eighth to give Bud Daley his fourth vic- tory. Easy Time The Giants had an easy time with the hapless Cubs. Felipe Alou blasted his first Major League grand slam home run in the first inning and Orlando Cepeda bat- ted in five runs with two homers and a double to head the Giants' 18 hit assault.

GB 1% 3 3 5 5% 10 By JAN WINKELMAN The Wolverines' performance in the field events may be an impor- tant factor in Michigan's chances of winning the Western .Confer- ence Outdoor Track Championship this Friday and Saturday at Iowa City. Although Michigan will not compete in the discus throw, they should be strong in the other four field events: shot put, high jump, broad jump, and pole vault. Last year Michigan lost the Outdoor track title to Illinois. Michigan finished with 45 points trailing Illinois by 162 and out- distancing the third place fin- ishers, Minnesota, by 191/2 points. Fail To Win Outdoors Although Michigan won the In- door title this year leading their nearest rivals, Indiana, by 39 points, the, victory certainly doesn't assure the Wolverines of victory' Saturday. Last year, as in the year before, Michigan won the In- door meet only to lose to Illinois outdoors. The field event men held up admirably well for Michigan in the Indoor Championship meet March 4. Ray Locke was second in the shot put, and Dick Cephas placed third in the high jump. Les Bird, running with a bad leg, made a valiant effort to match Paul Foreman or Illinois in the broad jump, but had to set- tle for second. In the other in- door field event, the pole vault, Steve Overton and Rod Denhart £received points for managing to take two of the four positions in a four way tie for third place. Locke in Shot Put In the shot put, Locke will face Bill Brown of Illinois in what may turn -into a two man contest. Brown won the Indoor title this H ayden Stops Anderson In 18-12 I-M Slugfest spring with a toss of 54'6%". Locke captured the outdoor title last year with a heave of 55'/2". Dick Cephas may not compete in' the high jump in order to run on a relay team and concentrate on the hurdles, his specialty. Mike Johnson of Purdue will be strong again in the pole vault. He won the Indoor event this year with a vault of 14'6%". Over- ton and Denhart of Michigan will compete for the Wolverines. Both will be counted on for points this weekend. Bird May Be Hampered Les Bird is a question mark. His leg has been bothering him. Coach Canham commented: "Les rested his leg last week and is doing light workouts now. He will compete at Iowa City, and we are keeping our fingers cross- ed hoping his leg holds up." Bird is hoping to beat Foreman in the broad jump for personal reasons. The Illinois star edged Bird out for a position on the Brit- ish West Indies Olympic team last summer. Canham made it clear that shot- putter Ray Locke "will not enter the discus throw as he did last Friday at Western Michigan." Canham, commenting on Michi- gan's surprise defeat at the hands of Western Michigan Friday, said: "Friday's meet was not as im- portant as the Big Ten Champion- ships. We are concentrating on the meet this weekend at Iowa City."

Both Ciottiand- Moosekian had home runs for the winners. In addition, Cidtti clubbed a double and a single, and Moosekian had a triple and a single. But the real hitting star of the game was An- derson's Frank Del Vero, who belted two home runs in three trips to the plate. Del Vero's sec- ond circuit blast came after Hay- den pitcher Neil Keats had decided to intentionally walk Del Vero with first base open and two men on. dThe Hayden catcher, however, did not' agree with the strategy and with an intentional 3-0 count on Vero, Keats was ordered to pitch to him. Del Vero promptly caught hold of the first strike thrown by Keats and boomed it to deep left center for a three-run homer. Gary Van Pelt, who also had a home run in the game, was the starter and loser for Anderson. He was relieved by Cyril Barnet in the third inning. Barnert turned in a masterful relief performance as he went the rest of the way for Anderson. In an Independent game played on Sunday, the Untouchables trounced the Hawaiians 12-0 on a no-hitter by pitcher Don Nast. Nast fanned 11 in hurling his gem.
