THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDN Loken Lauds Gymnasts After Twin Triumphs By MIKE BLOCK Boasting a 2-0 record in Big Ten competition, Michigan's gym- nastics team is taking it easy for a while before preparing for their next meet, Feb. 9 at Ohio State. The Wolverines acquired both of their victories Saturday, with a 70- 41 triumph over Iowa and an 81- 30 romp of Indiana- in a double BUy and Sell dual meet held at Bloomington. -adeThe meet saw Michigan take first place honors 10 times out of 12 events, missing only on the tram- U S E Dpoline and parallel bars. In four contests, the Wolverines copped * the top three places. Morale High Gym Coach Newt Loken was very pleased with the wins, and said that because of them, the team's morale is excellent at pres- ent. "While we didn't receive any - is stiff competition at Indiana, the boys got a chance to show what they could do, and that always serves as a morale-booster," he remarked. However, while the overall win -.-t was neither close nor expected to be, the Wolverines did experience " difficulty in some events. Most J'4jnotable among these was the tramp, where Hawkeye George Hery outpointed both Gary Erwin and Fred Sander, rebound tum- bling stars who have' both won national honors on this piece of apparatus. Loken didn't express any extreme disappointment over this setback, but was eager to see how the Michigan trampoline ar- tists would do against Hery in their rematch at East Lansing in the Big Ten gym meet. Lauds Gailis The other first place not won by Michigan went to Iowa's Glenn Gailis on the parallel bars. Gailis beat Wolverines Gil Larose and Jim Hynds by respectable margins, but Loken wasn't unhappy about the performance of his men. In- stead, he praised Gailis as one of the finer gymnasts in the Big Ten who doesn't perform for Michigan. Laken considered Arno Lascari's performance as the outstanding one for the Wolverines. All Las- cari did was take firsts on the side horse, high bar, and parallel bars compiling 93.5, 93, and 95 points, respectively. Minnesota on Rise In other Big Ten action Sat- urday, Minnesota's gymnastics team raised a few eyebrows by taking every first place but one in a double dual meet with Illi- nois and Navy Pier, Illinois' Chi- cago branch. In view of the fact that the Illini have been giving Michigan more headaches than anyone else in the past few years, this would indicate either that Minnesota has emerged as a gym power, or Illinois has gone dras- tically downhill. Loken believes the former pos- sibility to be true, and is eager to test his gymnasts against the Gophers when they come to Ann Arbor on Feb. 22.

The Wolverines find themselves in the WCHA cellar at the pres- ent with one victory, six losses and a tie to show for their efforts so far. Last weekend's invasion of Houghton for a two-game series with Michigan Tech resulted in 5-1 and 4-3 losses for the Wolver- ines. Good, But ... Michigan Coach Al Renfrew thought his team played "very good hockey, especially Saturday night, but we just couldn't get a goal when we needed one." The Wolverines haven't received the benefits of any breaks this sea- son, and a few are always an aid in getting a team rolling. "We aren't that bad a team," said Renfrew, referring to the 1-6-1 WCHA record. -"I still feel that we can beat any team in the league on a given night, and that we are better than a good number of them, but we just aren't scor- ing when it counts." Babcock Blanked Renfrew pointed out that Larry Babcock, one of the most talented forwards in the league, hasn't as yet scored a goal in WCHA play. "He had a breakaway in the sec- ond game at Tech. We were ahead 3-1, and it could have broken up the game, but his shot hit the post." Goalie Bob Gray underwent an exploratory operation last Friday, and it was determined that he has no permanent injury. He sustained only strained ligaments, and will Re-issues from the famous catalog of RECORDS Puccini: LA BOHEME-Renata Tebaldi; Giacinto Prandelli; Fernando Corena; Hilde Gueden.
