last night.
"But I'm betting with a Michi-

up and compete in all the events,"
says the Michigan coach.
"Curzi has been hitting 97 and
98 on the high bar which has to
make him one of the best in the
U.S." This makes him at least
name, this meet portends even
more than the usual fervor. With,
the Wolverines undefeated in four
conference meets, and the Spar-
tans' record tainted only by a slim
loss to top contender Iowa in fouri
tries, it is clear that the meet
should be a very tight one.
Michigan faces Iowa next Satur-
day.
No Closer

But Michigan has been prim-

Loken assures all that they'll be
ready. The ring men and floor ex
boys even had a special night
practice Tuesday to refine their
routines.
The Wolverines' only question
mark is Rich Blanton who has
ailed from flu recently. He is get-
ting back into shape and Loken
says, "We'll make the decision
about using him on Friday."
He is hoping for a sweep from
his trampolinists and solid per-
formances from everybody else to
offset the sure first places that
Curzi is almost bound to get. This
strategy worked against Wisconsin
last week which had Fred Roeth-
lisberger leading the Badgers
with four first places. Michigan
still won by getting the seconds.

in Michigan's gymnastics future. Coach Newt Loken termed his
still-ring routine against the Gophers as "just beautiful."

their initial conference victory.

had some harsh words for the Big
Ten and the weekly basketball rat-
ings.-
"The Big Ten is the most over-

King said at the weekly Albuquer-

luncheon after the weekly Associ-
ated Press ratings had three Big
Ten teams among the top 10 in the
country.
"The Western Athletic Confer-
