COMPETITION IN 10 SPORTS:
Student-Faculty Battles Rage

By CARL ROBINSON
Michigan's cagers, who gained
a share of thegconference title on
Tuesday, hope to wrap up their
most successful Big Ten season
in history, and an undisputed
crown this weekend as they play
Minnesota andOhio State.
By beating Wisconsin (98-75),
the Wolverines stayed two games
up on Minnesota, who beat Iowa
78-70. By winning one of the two
remaining games, Michigan can
take its third unshared title, the
first since the 1947-48 season, and
represent the Big Ten in the
NCAA tournament for the second
straight year.
The 12 games already won are
the greatest amount ever won by
a Michigan squad in Big Ten com-
petition, and if the team remains
undefeated, it will be only the
ninth time a team has accomplish-
ed that feat in the 60 year history
of the Big Ten.
Televised Game
Saturday's game with Minnesota
will be on television at 4:30 p.m.,
and will be the last home game
of the season for the Wolverines,
the top-ranked team in the coun-.
try.
It will also mark the final ap-
pearance at Yost Field House for
five seniors: Larry Tregoning, a
6'5" forward from Ferndale and
this year's team captain, has seen
three seasons as a regular forward.
His speed, rebounding prowess,
and ability to come through in
the clutch has had much to do
with Michigan resurging basket-
ball fortunes.
Bill Buntin, the 6'7" 235-lb.

center from is Detroit is ending a
great collegiate career this year.
He has led the Wolverines in re-
bounding, and has ranked near
the top of the league in scoring
and in rebounding all three years.
Buntin is one of a very few ath-
letes named to the All-Conference
Team three consecutive years.
Broke Record
A two time All-American, he
broke Michigan's scoring record
in his sophomore year with 534
points. He plays a consistent game
and is one of the main reasons
for Michigan's number one rank-
ing. He will be Detroit's territorial
draft selection in the May players
selection.
George Pomey, a 6'5" forward.
changed to the guard position
this year to direct the team from
the floor. Hisdefensive moves
and play-calling have led the
squad to 12 straight victories, a
record for the Wolverines.
Tom Ludwig, the smallest man
on the team at 5'1" and weigh-
ing 168, has had the impossible
task of taking Cazzie Russell's job
away from him. Despite this, he
has earned two letters, showing
plenty of speed and hustle when
he is on the court.
Adams Too
Charles Adams, a 6-3, 190-
pounder from Elmhurst, Ill., has
been a member of the squad for
the last three years but failed to
see much action on the nation's
number one team.
In the last bout with the Golden
Gophers, Michigan won 91-78,
pulling out in the second half.
Both teams had four men in
double figures, Russell high for
the game with 27 and Lou Hudson
was high for Minnesota with 25.
Both teams grabbed the same
number of rebounds, made nearly
the same number of free throws,
and took almost the same number
of shots. The difference in the
game was Michigan's shooting per-
centage of 50 per cent as opposed
to Minnesota's 40 per cent.
The Wolverines outscored the
Gophers 51-39 in the second half,
led by the rebounding of Buntin
and Russell who hit 19 of his 27
points during that time. Minne-
sota is 9-2 in the Big Ten and
17-4 overall.
OSU Monday
Michigan will journey to Colum-
bus Monday night to face the
Buckeyes of Ohio State in the sea-

son finale for both teams.
Ohio State was smeared 100-61
when they visited Ann Arbor, and
are currently resting solidly in
seventh place in the Big Ten
standings. In the last game, Mich-
igan outrebounded their smaller
opponents, 69-43, but the Buck-
eyes did not help their cause by
shooting a 29.9 per cent from the
floor.
Ron Sepic scored 15 points for
the losers, while Russell hit 26 and
Buntin 20.
Pistons Ito
Take Buntin
I n NBA Draft
Detroit newspaper reported yes-
terday that the Detroit Pistons
have decided to draft Michigan's
Bill Buntin in the May NBA selec-
tions.
Buntin will be chosen as a ter-
ritorial selection since, according
to the latest standings, the Pistons
will have the fifth choice of the
graduating seniors.
Coach Dave DeBusschere was
quoted as saying, "He'd be a pretty
good backup man at center be-
cause he can rebound and hook
and is also good around the hoop.
And he could also be used as for-
ward."
DeBusschere explained that the
6'7" senior would have tremendous
box office appeal because of his
background as a star on the na-
tion's number one team and be-
cause he is a Detroit product.

Student-faculty skirmishes no
longer confine themselves to the
classrooms, but have spread to
the athletic (battle) fields as well.
The 13th Annual Faculty vs.
Students sports competition began
February 15 and continues until
the latter part of March. The pro-
gram involves over 500 illustrious
mentors and a similar number of
less experienced but younger ad-
versaries.
They will be fighting it out in
10 sports. Basketball, bowling, rifl-

ery, table tennis, and volleyball
are scheduled in advance: the
other racquet sports, badminton,
handball, paddleball, squash, and
tennis are arranged at the con-
venience of the participants.
Double Trouble?
The students are seeking to dou-
ble their number of overall vic-
tories for the past 13-year stretch,
having succumbed to the faculty
on all but one occasion.
Earl Riskey, director of the
event, anticipating the playful at-
titude of the students, has war--

ed against unnecessary roughness
with the faculty. There is, of
course, the threat of classroom.
retribution. Generally, the entire
program is a source of fun and
good natured ribbing.
Student teams are drawn from
social fraternities, professional
fraternities, residence halls, North
Campus, international divisions,
and various clubs. Varsity ath-
letes will be competing for the
organizations of which they are
members. However, those engaged
in the winter sports competition
will not participate.

YOUTHFUL SQUAD:
M' Diamondmen Travel West

By JIM LaSOVAGE
With a squad of about a dozen
inexperienced sophomores bolst-
ered by a similar number of re-
turning lettermen, Coach Moby
Benedict's 1965 baseball team
leaves today for its annual spring
trip to Arizona.
During the southwestern tour,
the diamondmen meet such per-
ennial powers as Arizona and
Arizona State, two of the best
teams in the country, according
to Benedict.
or Ten Games
This year the schedule includes
10 contests, with four to be played
against each of the Arizona
schools. The remaining two will
pit the Wolverines against a rel-
tively weaker foe, Grand Canyon
College.
Michigan makes the trip at a
disadvantage to its Arizona op-
ponents. "They can work out-
doors," Benedict commented ear-
ier this week. "They'll already
have a lot of baseball under their
belts."
Contrary to this, the Wolverines
will take an infield for the first
time this season until the day of
the first game, tomorrow against
Arizona State. Neither have the
outfielders had any outdoor prac-
tice, having confined their work-
outs to "our little, corner of Yost

Field House," as Benedict put it.
Throw Early
Although the pitchers began
throwing at the start of the se-
mester, the bulk of the squad
didn't report for training until the
end of January. Thus the spring
trip is meaningful for a different
reason than the Big Ten season.
"We go down there with a dual
purpose in mind," Coach Benedict
evaluated. "Number one, we want
to see how good' our personnel is.
We've got a lot of sophomores and
we want to find out how good
they are. The second thing we try
to do is get into shape for the
regular season."
Among the returning varsity
players are southpaw moundsman
Clyde Barnhart, and right-hand-
ers Marlin Pemberton, P a 11
Schuldt, and Bill Wahl. Last sea-
son their earned run averages
ranged from 1.80 to 2.86, the top
four of the club. The senior quar-
tet has enough experience to pro-
vide Michigan with good depth on
the pitching rubber.
Three Catchers
Three returnees on the receiv
ing end of the battery give added
strength to the club. Senior Pete
Adams and juniors Ted Sizemore
and Chuck Pascal all have previ-
ous experience. Sizemore also plays
in the outfield at times.
The infield also features three

lettermen. At first base junior
Chan Simonds returns. Another
junior shortstop Bob Gilhooley
and senior George Skaff, guard-
ing the hot corner, round out the
trio. Gilhooley had been last
year's starting right fielder,
Outfielders Earl Meyers, Dan
DiNunzio, and Al Bara finish off
a well-balanced returning team.
Senior Meyers has the most ex-
perience, but the other two proved
themselves last year.
Some of the sophomore names
are already familiar to Michigan
sports fans. Four players from the
Rose Bowl champion football team
have earned spots on the team.
Clayton Wilhite will give Benedict
added strength as a left handed
pitcher. Rick Sygar and Rick Volk
offer their services on the infield,
and Frank Nunley will be chasing
fly balls in the outfield.
Five Pitchers
Of the remaining eight sophs,
five are pitchers, including two
lefties, and three are outfielders.
Twenty-two of the 26-man ros-
ter will make the trip, and Bene-
dict expects to use all of them
frequently.
