STERN "We can't match Michigan in any department. They're just too big and too strong."

If Michigan beats Wisconsin, they will clinch at least a share of the Big Ten championship, and if Iowa should stop Minnesota at Iowa City tonight, the Wolverines ' would be assured of gaining the crown alone. No Board Strength "I don't want to undersell my team, but we just don't have the rebounding," said Erickson. The 37-year-oid veteran coac con- tinued, "I know power when I see it, and Dave Strack has a power- ful team. I watched them beat Illinois last Saturday and I've never seen a finer collegiate game." T h e effusive Erickson still wasn't finished praising the Wol- verines. "If it wasn't for Cazzie RfusseiL s anLe they wouid have taken the NCAA title last year. And Michigan is better than they were last year. The Big Ten this year is just too good for us. I'm proud to be in it and we all want a Big Ten team to take the NCAA this year." The Badgers own a 3-8 confer- ence mark, having beaten Purdue, Northwestern, and, just last Sat- urday, Michigan State. Overall, they are 8-11. Short Starters The starting line-up for Wiscon- sin shows a pair of guards, Jim Bohen and Dennis Sweeney, who do not even average six feet. Bohen is 5'10" and Sweeney 6'1." Ti'e forwards are more impressive. Ken Gustafson and Ken Barnes, both of whom hail from Illinois, are fine jumpers. Gustafson led the Badgers in scoring last year. At center is 6'6" junior Mark Zubor who has had some excel- lent games this season and sports an average of 15 points a game. The bench is experienced, with juniors Dave Roberts, Paul Mor- enz and Dale Schultz heading the consin ouenses ana defenses. Strack was breathing a little eas- ier, with the Wolverines' narrow 80-79 victory over Illinois, now in the past. Two of Three That game was only the third time that Illinois has lost in its almond-shaped $10 million Assem- bly Hall, and Michigan adminis- tered two of those defeats. If the Wolverines are to have II list. a breather before the season ends, On the closer side of Lake tonight will probably have to be Michigan, Strack sent his hope- it.

As is usual before a one, or possibly two, more tough game, he had his five starters ones remain on the slate, in addi- working against simulated Wis- tion the NCAA tournament. Russell, Buntin Namned to All-Big Ten Cage Squad Big Ten Standings 1 By HOWARD BOIGON A brawl and a cliff-hanger were the featured performances in last night's A' basketball champion- ships for IM sports. The residence hall title was won by Gomberg, 33-21, over Taylor, in a game literally bitterly fought, while Lambda Chi Alpha edged Delta Tau Delta in the fraternity division, 45-42. In the third quarter of the Gomberg-Taylor game, with Gom- berg leading 32-17, Taylor's Bob Schram was fouled by Wally Gab- ler and the fireworks began. Play- ers, coaches, referees, and fans somehow or other all got tied up in the melees which resulted from this collision, and the game was delayed for five minutes, after which time Gabler was ejected and the contest resumed. The game as a whole was char- acterized by rough play, as three players fouled out. The tone of the game was set in the first period, as Gomberg scored nine straight points to lead 14-9 going into the second quarter. By halftime, the score had mounted to 24-12, and the issue was never in doubt after that. Quite a diferent story was the contest between the Delts and Lambda Chi. The seesaw battle i I saw the lead change hands seven; times and the score tied sevenI times. The first quarter ended with Lambda Chi out in front 13-11, and they were able to gain only one more point at the half, 24-21. In the third period, however, the Delts broke loose for eight straight points, sparked by Joe Cutro and Bob Timberlake, and took a five point advantage, the biggest lead of the game, and led by 31-29 going into the final ten minutes. But Lambda Chi Alpha refused to give up and, after be- ing behind by as much as five points with only a few minutes to go, managed to knot the score at 39-39. In o t h e r action, Michigan trounced Huber 39-17 for the 'B' team titles, the Unofficial Drop- outs dropped the Falcons, 53-38, in the independent division, and the Law Club defeated Nu Sigma Nu to capture first place in the professional fraternity class. The fraternity 'B' game between Beta Theta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta was postponed. r W L Pct.

Russell and Minnesota's Lou Hudson were the only unanimous choices, but Dave Schellhase of MARK ZUBOR BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS: Trackmen Hope for Repeat of Last Year By MICHAEL RUTKOWSKI The Michigan track team will be hoping that 1965 will be a repeat of 1964 which was a re- peat of 1963 as it journeys to the Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships at Champaign, Ill. this Friday and Saturday. Two years ago, Wisconsin was favored to cop the conference crown but a wave of injuries to key Badgers and some outstand- ing performances by Michigan and Iowa gave the Wolverines and the Hawkeyes the championship to- gether with 43 points each. The Badgers finished in third with 40, points. Once Again Last year Wisconsin was again heavily favored. Most of the men who had made up the team which lost the Big -Ten meet the year before were back to avenge their disappointing loss. The only team which was given half a chance was Michigan, but their chances appeared to be slim. The result- Michigan came up with five in- div.dualchampions and outpoint- ed second place Wisconsin, 67-48. The Michigan track team of last year won the conference title be- cause all of the men performed beyond what was expected of them. If they are to successfully defend their indoor conference championship the Wolverines will have to perform as they did last year-beyond what is expected. The Favorites Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Michigan are expected to fight it out for the team ti- tle with the edge again going to Wisconsin. Michigan's chances can be' summed up very simply by the words of Wolverine Coach Don Canham, "We're certainly not favorites." Canham feels that he has "a good solid team" which has "pro- gressed about as expected" since the beginning of the season with "no great surprises yet." The sur- prises Canham hopes will come in the big one this weekend at Cham- paign. In the 60 yard dash Trenton Jackson of Illinois and Steve Goldston of Iowa appear to be the favorites with Michigan's Dorie Reid and Carl Ward given good chances also. Canham feels it will be "any one of the four." All four men have run :06.2 this season. Second Place Last year Jackson finished sec- ond while Goldston and Reid were fourth and fifth, respectively. Can- ham also gives sophomore Dave Cooper a good chance to place. Michigan Captain Kent Bernard is the defending champion in the 600 yard run but Canham is un- decided as to whether he will run him in the 600 or the 400 yard dash. Bernard, the Olympian from Trinidad, beat out Al Montalbano of Wisconsin to win the 600 last year with a time of 1:10.4. Bernard also ran in the coun- try's fastest 440 leg as he anch- ored the Michigan mile relay team to a third spot in the indoor championships. He was clocked in :47.0 for the quarter-mile. Hope To Advance Michigan will be running Dan Hughes and Cecil Norde in the 880 yard run. Last year Norde finished third behind his now graduated teammate Ted Kelly who won the individual crown with a time of 1:53.5. Barney Pe- terson of Wisconsin, who has the' best time in the Big Ten in the 880 this year (1:54.6), will prob- ably run in the 1000 yard run where he also has the best tine with 2:10.2. Running against Pe- terson in the 1000 will be Wol- verine sophomore Brian Kelly. Michigan's defending champion in the mile, Des Ryan, sustained an injury early this year and only recently has started to come around. Ryan's teammate sopho- more Jim Mercer will likewise be running in the mile as will one of two strong runners from North- western, Lee Assenheimer or Craig Boydston. Assenheimer has run 4:11.4 this year while Boydston has done 4:11.6. (These are the top times in the conference this year.) .Assenheimer may run in the two mile where he has done 9:14.7. The defending champion in the two mile, Norris Peterson of Min- nesota, has run a 9:14.0 two mile and a 4:13.9 mile this year. Michi- gan's Ted Benedict has run the! second best mile time this year, 9:12.7. i Purdue's mile relay team has is the best bet to win this year. run 3:15.5 this year and Iowa's Bob Densham of Michigan was team is almost as good.

I Purdue missed the same distinc- tion by only one point. Illinois center Skip Thoren rounded out the starting unit. Russell and Buntin have been instrumental in keeping Michi- gan undefeated in the Big Ten race and headed towards a sec- ond straight conference crown and NCAA playoff berth. Russell scored Michigan't last five points in a key 8 0-79 victory over IlinoisSaturday while Bun- tin whipped in 30 points. Hudson has been the big factor in keeping Minnesota in conten- tion all season and Thoren, until being recently hampered by an injured foot, has been Illinois' main threat all season. Tal Brody of Illinois and Tom Van Arsdale of Indiana both missed making the first team by one point. They were joined on the second team by Dick Van Arsdale of Indiana, Chris Pervall of Iowa and Stan Washington of Michigan State.
