By 'M' Gymnast Hamilton Since outlining my reasons for advocating girl cheerleaders here at Michigan in an earlier column, I have spoken with John Hamilton, co-captain of the cheerleading squad. Although Hamilton's job is perhaps a bit in jeopardy should girl cheerleaders be allowed, he surprisingly accepted my original pro- posal that girls could complement, not replace, the existing male squad at basketball games. Hamilton admitted that in the past the cheerleaders at basket- ball games have been ineffective in leading the crowd and creating spirit. "We've always had difficulty at the basketball games because people are more interested in just watching rather than also cheer- ing. There's no doubt that the intellectual caliber of the student body here makes it just that much harder to stimulate the crowd, also. I think that some well-chosen girl cheerleaders out on the court with us might help." Upon further discussion, he enumerated his reasons for support- ing girl cheerleaders. "First, some of our cheerleaders are now gymnasts, therefore, it's difficult to get a good turnout at all of the basketball games due to their conflicting schedules. Since girls do not have this difficulty I think they could help alleviate this problem. "Second, I would like to see a lot of spirit from the fans and I know that the basketball players would too. The girls would probably get more response from the crowd than we do just because they're : girls. It shouldn't make any dif- ference if girls are helping to r create that enthusiasm. "And third, I think some high- ly-skilled women mixed with men could present a well-balanced cheering squad, however, only if the present level of cheering . would not be sacrificed for the addition of girls." a Looking at the present situa- tion, Hamilton felt that it was time to co-educate some of the W University's tradition - bound in- - stitutions, although he defended maintaining the predominance of ; male cheerleaders for the football X games. ,:a, ::. >:: "I think that the girls would be ~ . fine for basketball, but not for :0: football. The minitramps make our school cheerleaders different JOHN HAMILTON and more effective. Because we do not have an onfield mike system at the Stadium, the stunts are our best way for gaining the crowd's attention, and I wouldn't want to see that part of the University sacrificed." When queried whether or not he felt girls could be worked into the routines, Hamilton replied, "I think that men, especially divers and gymnasts, have better coordination for the mini- tramps than girls do. But if I could get some girls skilled in this area who would practice four times a week and I felt that they could perform'well, I would work them in. "I do think though that we could use some girl cheerleaders for the basketball games."

"We sure don't want to give Curtis 36 points again, but we feel that Bill (Buntin) can handle him." Anderson also pointed to his defense as a key factor. "We've got nothing special up our sleeve to stop Cazzie Russell, but we have been working hard on our defense," said the 45-ye'ar-old veteran coach, now in his eleventh season as Spartan mentor. Russell netted a career high of 40 points against MSU in the first meeting of the two teams, including eight in the overtime period. Strack will be going with his usual line-up which finds Russell and George Pomey at guards, Ollie Darden and Larry Tregoning at forwards, and Buntin at center.

MSU Relays By BOB McFARLAND The Michigan cindermen will confront some of their strongest competition this season today as the Wolverines journey to East Lansing to participate in the forty - second annual Michigan State Relays. A huge field will be attracted to Jenison Field House for the Re- lays, which are recognized as the official start of the indoor track season in the Midwest. The meet will draw a total of 519 athletes from 25 colleges and universities. Eight Conferences The entries include representa- tives from eight athletic confer- ences, mostly from the Midwest, Mountains, and Plains states. Several independents have also placed entries in the Relays, in- cluding a contingent from the Air Force Academy. Other Big Ten schools entered in the meet besides the Wolver- ines, defending indoor champions of the conference, are Indiana, Purdue, and hcst Michigan State. Missouri, defending indoor and outdoor champion of the Big Eight, has placed several of its top performers in the Relays. Oklahoma State and Kansas State, also in the Big Eight, will be represented. Included in the collegiate field are Cincinnati, Drake and Wichita from the Missouri Valley; Bowling Green State, Miami of Ohio, To- ledo, and Western Michigan 'of the Mid-American; and Buffalo State, Ferris State, Loyola, Notre Dame, Southern Illinois, and Air Force, all independents. Defending Champs Ten of the 18 defending cham- pions of the 1964 Relays will be present. Schools that managed victories in the six relay events have much of their personnel re- turning. Michigan's mile relay team won the 1964 event in a time of 3:17.9. The Wolverine squad today will consist of Marion Hoey, Brian O'Neill, Bob Gerometta, and Olympian Kent Bernard. The mile relay team has been triumphanta in all three of its previous efforts this year. Last week in the Mich- igan Federation Relays, Bernard anchored the Wolverines to a 3:18.7 time. An impressive four-man unit from Missouri will defend its title in the two-mile relay. Th'e four- some of Larry Ray, Charles Con- rad, William Rawson and Robin Lingle turned in a record clocking of 7:33.3 to win the event last year. The same outfit went on to better their time in the outdoor season with a 7:20.6. One of the Best Lingle, the Tigers' anchor man in the two-mile relay, is rated as one of America's top middle dis- tance men. He was also the win- ner of the 1000-yard run in the 1964 MSU Relays. The Wolverines will have Dave Legacki and Joel Lewitz pitted against him today. Western Michigan has two de- fending relay teams entered, the shuttle hurdle relay squad, and the distance medley foursome. Michigan will provide strong com- petition for the Broncos in the distance medley. A Wolverine squad made up of Dan Hughes, Gerometta, Des Ryan, and Jim Mercer defeated Western Mich- igan in the Federation Relays last week. Bill Yearby, who heaved the shot 55'8/4" last week, will repre- sent Michigan along with sopho- more Jack Harvey, Fred Lambert, and Steve Leuchtman in the shot put. Harvey placed second be- hind Yearby in the Federation Relays while Lambert finished fourth. Wolverine sprinters entered in the 60-yard dash include Dorie Reid, Willie Brown, Dave Cooper, and Carl Ward. Reid and Brown finished first and second, respec- tively, in the Federation meet. Reid's best time this season has been a blistering :06.2. The captain of the Michigan cindermen, Bernard, will compete in his specialty, the 600-yard run. Bernard will be attempting to un- seat last year's Relays champion in the event, Bill Selbe of Kansas State. h Ryan, the senior distance run- ner from Dublin, Ireland, and Ted Benedict will be the Wolverine en- tries in the two-mile run. Ryan is the defending Big Ten indoor champion in the mile run. Coach Don Canham called him earlier this season "the best miler in the Big Ten." Ryan has been hamper- ed in earlier meets this year by an injury. Benedict was clocked in 9:34.0 for the two-mile distance at Yost Field House last Saturday as he managed to finish fifth for Michigan.
