NOVEMBER 15. 19611 .. ._Y _ _.., ., .. r,,c SPORTS NOTES: Sternberg, Star Vaulter, Leaves Hospital; Maple Leafs, Lakers, Score Victories 1J' Tankers Point Toward Big Ten, NCAA Crowns By The Associated Press SEATTLE-Dressed in his fin- est suit and erect in his wheel chair, Brian Sternberg appeared in public Wednesday night for the first time since he was paralyzed July 2 in a trampoline accident. The University of Washington sophomore, once 'world record holder in the pole vault, has been permitted to leave the hospital several times in recent weeks for visits with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold O. Sternberg. His night out Wednesday was to attend the musical, "Space Is So Startling," as a guest of the show's producer. Brian hesitated before accepting the invitation. "I don't want to cause anyone an inconvenience," the youth said. He still is unable to move with- out aid, although he has slight control of his arm muscles. The youngster must be dressed, fed and helped in and out of his wheel chair. His parents, his girl friend, Nancy McCracken, and Ted Nash, Olympic Games oarsman, accom- panied Brian to the musical. Doctors have refused to estimate when or if Brian will attain a complete cure. Deeply religious, the boy insists he will come back -all the way. i Hooded, Insulated SWEATS H IRTS Colors: Red & Navy Blue STEIN & GOETZ Sporting Goods "Your Friendly Dealer". 315 So.

The victory pulled the Leafs in- to a tie for second place with idle Montreal and extended the Toron- to unbeaten string to four. It was New York's sixth straight loss. Horton's flip from center ice late in the third period, bounced past the surprised New York goalie, Jacques Plante, and gave the Leafs a 5-3 lead. They needed the margin when the Rangers' Vic Hadfield closed the gap to one goal with only 34 seconds left. The game was fast, rough, and in general, loosely played. Each team was guilty of poor passing and New York was hurt by de- fensive lapses. These came in the first period when Toronto took advantage to ram in two goals in less than a minute, to build a 3-1 lead. * * * Lakers Victors BALTIMORE-The Los Angeles Lakers cashed in on two mistakes by the Baltimore Bullets in the last four minutes of play and scored a 123-115 National Basket- ball Association victory last night. '11' Tankers Stage Water. Polo Games Michigan's varsity and freshman swimmers plan a full schedule of water polo this weekend. The two varsity and one fresh- man team will play each other and will also face a team from Canada. Members of the Canadi- an Pan-American championship team from Hamilton and Toronto will partly compose the squad. Games will be played Saturday after the football game and Sun- day morning at 10 a.m. The public is invited to attend free of charge. On Sunday a team from Detroit will also participate in the tour- nament. Members of the Michigan teams are: Varsity "A"--Jon Baker, Lantz fleppert, Frank Berry, Tom Dud- ley, Bob Hoag. Jeff Longstreth, Ed Bartsch, Steve Rabinovitch, Bob Tanner, and Rich Walls. Varsity "B"-Pat Faul, Geza Bodolay, Fred Damn, Dave Road- house, Geoff D'Atri, Phil Hengen, Jon Lundin, Jeff Moore, Tom Burns, Rees Orland, and Bill Spann. Freshman-Ron Brodowitz, Ho- ward Brundage, Bill Groft, Rus- sell Kingery, Jim O'Malley, Carl Robie, Paul Scheerer, Tom Sch- warten, John Vry, and Tom Wil- liams. By BILL BULLARD Coach Gus Stager says his 1963- 64 swimming team will be improv- ed over last season's team which finished second to Indiana in the Big Ten Championships and third to Southern California and Yale in the NCAA Championships. But the real question to be an- swered in the course of the season is this-will Michigan be improved enough to regain the Big Ten title which has eluded it since 1960 or the NCAA title which has not been won by the Wolverines since 1961? "We've got a better team than last season. Our sophomores more than make up for the seniors we've lost," Stager said. "But if we're going to win some cham- pionships it'l have to be with our big guns. "If we win anything we'll have to win with just a few swimmers. Junior Ed Bartsch, sophomore Bill Farley, senior Geza Bodolay, our two relays, and the divers will have to come through for us." Nelson Gone The only swimmer lost to the squad that placed in the NCAA Meet last spring is Dick Nelson. Nelson tied for the 100-yd. breast- the 100-yd. backstroke as Bittick set an American record of :53.3. Bartsch came in with a :53.5 to qualify for the Pan-American Games. Then at the Pan-American Games in Brazil Bartsch added another crown to his collection: a Gold Medal for winning the 100-meter backstroke. He beat out Bittick *and all other challengers! in the Western Hemisphere in record time for the Games. Bartsch's back-up man last sea- son was Mike Reissing. But with Reissing having graduated, the replacement will be filled by soph- omores Geoff D'Atri and Rees Orland. Junior Lantz Reppert also can swim the backstroke but the var- sity individual medley recordhold- er probably will prefer to concen- trate on his specialty with a bit! of sprinting thrown in on the side. Reppert finished fourth in the Big Ten 400-yd. individual medley and sixth at 200 yards but didn't make the finals in the NCAA Meet. Strong Sophs D'Atri and Orland plus another sophomore, D a v e Roadhouse, should give Reppert at least a scare in the I-M according to Stager. Chances are that if Rep- pert doesn't lower his own record in the I-M one of the sophomores will do it for him. One way or an- other there should be increased strength in the I-M this season. In the butterfly events, Stager has veterans in Captain Jeff Moore and Jeff Longstreth. Soph- omores Roadhouse and Bill Spann are the upcoming challengers. Moore reached the peak of his career at the NCAA Meet when he took a third place in the 200- yd. butterfly in the fast time of 2:00.2. Longstreth, best on the team at the shorter fly event last season, was eighth in the time trials of the 100-yd. butterfly. Freestyle Events In the distance freestyle events, the team should be stronger than ever with seniors Roy Burry and Tom Dudley and sensational soph- omore Bill Farley. However, Burry is recovering from a recent oper- ation and it is questionable wheth- er he will be able to swim this season or not. Burry and Dudley finished sec- ond and third in the NCAA 1650- yd. freestyle and sixth and eighth in the NCAA 500-yd. freestyle. Burry's marks w e r e varsity records. Farley set the Michigan pool record for the 500 as a freshman, beating Burry's varsity record by almost seven seconds. At the NAAU Meet, he placed second to Roy Saari, now a Southern Cali- fornia sophomore, in the 1650-yd. freestyle. His time was 41 seconds under Burry's varsity record. With his second place finish he qualified for the Pan-American Games. De- spite illness before the race in Brazil he finished fourth. Last season's Captain John Du- mont and Warren Uhler have left the distance freestyle c o r p s through graduation. But with Farley and one or both of the sen- iors Stager feels this area is in good shape. In the freestyle sprints, Stager findshimself in the same situa- tion as last season. "Last year the varsity relay team couldn't beat the freshmen and we're in the same position this season," he said. Stager is uncertain about the exact ability of the sprinters but he is hopeful. "I always hate to give a scholarship to a sprinter because you can never be sure how they'll turn out as college swim- mers," he said. Last season Stager likewise had high hopes for a group of sopho- more sprinters and was disap- pointed. Jim Riutta, the best of that group, was in a 7-way tie for fifth place at the NCAA Meet before failing to gain the finals in two swim-offs. However, Riutta has been suspended from the team and will not swim this sea- son. This leaves junior Tom Burns, senior Frank Berry, and some- time-sprinter Reppert as the vet- erans. Berry holds the varsity rec- ord for the 200-yd. freestyle. He has also anchored both Michigan relay teams for the past two sea- sons. Among the sophomores, Rich Walls was the most impressive last season according to Stager. But now Bob Hoag has taken top spot temporarily due to his fine performances at the outdoor NAAU Meet last summer. Bob Tanner is also a good prospect. Roadhouse and Orland may like- wise see some action as sprinters. Relays Stager says Michigan should have two good relays -again this season. The medley relay was fifth and the freestyle relay was seventh at the NCAA Meet last spring. In the medley relay, Bartsch will start off on the backstroke leg, Rabinovitch will piobably re- place Nelson in breaststroke, and Longstreth, and Berry will re- tain the butterfly and freestyle stints unless kicked off the team by sophomores. Stager will have to find replace- ments for Riutta and graduated Steve Thrasher for the freestyle relay team. Reppert and Berry re- turn to the team. There appears to be adequate sophomore re- placements for at least the two vacant positions. Diving Rated High Coach Dick Kimball's diving team should add valuable points to Michigan's score on every oc- casion. Kimball is counting heav- ily on junior Ed Boothman and sophomore Bruce Brown. In all the practice meets held so far these two have been the top divers. Kimball believes that the divers will make the difference between winning and losing at the NCAA Meet. "I think Bruce could be an NCAA titlist as a sophomore", Kimball says. "It depends on whether he can beat Ed or not. I think these two will be the ones fighting it out for first place." Boothman finished second on the three-meter board andfifth on the one-meter springboard at the NCAA Meet. Pete Cox, who> has been lost through graduation, was second on the low board and fifth on the high board. "Pete did a good job for us last year," Kimball said. "But Bruce was already better than Pete as a freshman last season." Besides Boothman and Brown, Kimball can also call upon soph- omores Greg Smith, Don Ewing, and John White. Junior John Candler is also available. Hoping to improve on a 5-2 dual meet record, Michigan has scheduled nine dual meets this season. The Wolverines will at- tempt to repeat last season's vic- tories over Purdue, Princeton, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Mich- igan State. At the same time the team will try to reverse losses to Indiana and Minnesota. One of the addi- tional meets this season is a second meet with Indiana, mak- ing a home-and-home series within the season. Iowa State is the other new opponent. Stager and Michigan State coach Charles McCaffree have planned two Michigan College Meets for Dec. 7 and for Feb. 13 Any freshman or varsity team member from a Michigan college or junior college would be eligible to. compete.

But he failed to place in the 200-yd. event after finishing second his junior year. "I think Farley alone will score as many and probably more points than Nelson'ever did in the cham- pionship meets. As for dual meets Bodolayhwas usually better at 200 yards than Nelson anyway," Stag- er commented. Bodolay finished third in the NCAA 200-yd. event. He finished seventh in the time trials for the 100-yd.. race, one place away from the finals. To back up Bodolay, Stager has Canadian Steve Rabinovitch who will be a first-semester sopho- more in January. Rabinovitch is good enough to push Bodolay at 200 yards and may even take over as the top 100-yd. breaststr'oker on the squad. Stager also has senior Jon Baker in reserve. To conclude an inconsistent sophomore year Bak- er finished fourth in the NCAA 200-yd. breaststroke. Last season Baker was a big disappointment. He never did work himself into good enough shape to place in the Big Ten Meet or the NCAA Meet. "Jon is working out seriously now," Stager said. "But it's easy to be serious now. I'm waiting to see how he does when the going gets tGough." BartschBig Gun Backstroker Ed Bartsch is un- doubtedly the biggest gun that Stager has. Bartsch is the closest thing that Stager has to a sure winner in the Big Ten or the Nationals. After finishing second to In- diana's Tom Stock in the Big Ten 100 and 200, Bartsch won the NCAA 200 while placing fourth at 100 yards. At the NAAU Meet Bartsch fin- ished second to Charles Bittick in YY " - YY Y- Y --Y-YY -Y Y -Y-YK-t[Y-f NHL Standings l Chicago Montreal Toronto Detroit' New York Boston NHL W L 9 2 6 4 7 4 6 6 4 10 3 9 T Pts.
