THE MICHIGAN DAILY l -. _ o . . VATHEN, LOCKE, RADFORD: Wolverine Shot-Putters Improve the game s n the thi 91 Fred .Katz, r4ssociate Sports Editor i By ROY RHAESA The rules state that you have to ay in a six-foot circle while you y to throw a 16-pound ball as r as possible. This is the definition of one of le less glamorous events in track nd field: shot-putting. Every day at Yost Field House, iree sophomores on Coach Don anham's track squad practice to irow that 16-pound sphere as tr as they can. They are Ray ocke, Terry Trevarthen and Bill adford. Most impressive of the trio presently is Trevarthen. In the intra-squad meet in December he won the shot put with a toss of 49,5". In the two meets with the Chicago Track Club, he came in first again with marks of 51'4" and 50'2". In high school le had a high of 42'6" with the 12-pound shot. Changing his style he has in- creased his distance considerably and in last week's Michigan Open he had his best toss to date-52'5". Locke's high school career was somewhat opposite that of Tre- varthen's. His personal record in high school' was a phenomenal V4'Op". Using the larger ball he took second in the Michigan AAU Re- lays with 51'4" and later also took second in the Michigan Open with his top toss in varsity competition, which. measured 51'7". Service Champion Radford never put the shot while in high school but took up the event while in the service and was proficient enough at it to be- come the Far Eastern Inter-Serv- ice Champion. Radford placed second to Tre- varthen in the meet here with the Chicago Track Club. His best mark, however, was set at the Michigan State Relays when he got away a 50'5" throw. All believe that they can im- prove in time. Radford hopes to hit 55' in two years and Locke "Wour Iest Set -C all A Vet" VETERAN'S CAB NO 3-4545 NO 2=4477 NO 3-5800 Shuttle Service Between Wayne Metro.

No Goal Trevarthen has- no personal goal for he feels that if one has goals and falls short of them, dis- couragement and subsequent loss of incentive will set in. Goals or no goals, these men will be trying to improve on their past performances when they compete this Saturday night in a dual meet with Michigan State at East Lansing. WITH MEN who know their basketball best, it's California, 2-1. That's this week's verdict of the 35 coaches who each Sunday finger the nation's top-ranking college teams for United Press-Inter- national. Twenty-four members of the selection board see the Golden Bears (21-1) as the front runner. The defending NCAA champions' closest competitor, Cincinnati, (20-1) received only one-third as many first-place votes. Ohio State (19-2) got the nod on two other bal- lots, while the remaining selector took Bradley (21-2). The coaches appear so united in their choice for the number one spot that most non-partisan fans would be willing to accept their consensus. Willing, that is, until they picked up another paper and saw where the nearly 200 sportswriters polled by the Associated Press overwhelmingly favor Cincinnati as America's best team. California comes out no better than fourth. All of which leads to the conclusion that polls are full of sound and fury but signify little. THE REAL TEST of truth comes in two weeks with the beginning of the regional playoffs. All arguments will be settled for good March 19 when the western and eastern champions clash in the title match at San Francisco's Cow Palace. Combining the luck of the draw with the season-long form chart, It would appear now that Ohio State should wander into the finale facing either Cincinnati or California. This *riter, usually a strong defender of exciting midwest bas- ketball, finds it difficult to disagree with the coaches' consensus that California is the finest in the land. It's been seven years since the Big Ten last took the national crown (Indiana In 1953) and the Buckeyes figure as the Conference's best representative since then. But OSU and its magnificent sopho- mores are still a year away from displaying all the earmarks of an unbeatable team. They undoubtedly have the greatest all-around of- fensive balance and depth of the top contenders. Lucas, Havlicek, Nowell, Siegried and Roberts are all good for 25 points on any given night. But the Bucks have a defense that hasn't matured with their of- fensive might, even though their allotment of 70 points per Big Ten game is the league's best. They simply outgun their rivals, as exem- plified by their 96-95 win over Indiana or last Saturday's 84-83 de- feat of Michigan State. CINCINNATI, too, is essentially the same kind of run-and-shoot club but without the amazing balance. The Bearcats aren't a one- man club by any means as many would suppose with the presence of Oscar Robertson, but his 40 points a game account for nearly half of the team's output. A good team that can bottle him up has the major part of the battle won. And Bradley proved you can still let the Big "O" run wild and whip the Bearcats by taking advantage of a sometimes-poitus defense.1 The key word in analyzing the inadequacies of both OSU and Cincy is one that Pete Newell and his California team have concen- trated and capitalized on - defense. The Bears have It down pat. Their foes averaged a mere 51 points per game last year. And the champs are a better team, offen- sively and defensively, this season. IN THE FINALS of the Los Angeles Basketball Classic in December, the Bears harnessed West Virginia in spectacular fashion, 65-45. It was billed as a rematch of the NCAA finals last season which Cal took by one. But the Bears squelched thp Mountaineers, averaging more than 80 points prior to the showdown, at every turn. The losers were held to a paltry 39 shots. Even more astounding, everybody's All-American Jerry West col- lected only eight points as a 6'6" stringbean with the unlikely name of Tandy Gillis shadowed him all night and still found time to grab 18 points. Another skyscraper, 6'10" Darral Imhoff, settled for only five points, but he hauled in 21 rebounds and rarely gave the Mountain- eers a chance at a second shot. UCLA coach John Wooden called the shots perfectly to this writer before the title game began in illustrating what makes the Bears tick. Said the veteran coach: "A lot of people call West the best player in the country. Maybe he is - I don't know. But I do know that if I could have any player I wanted, I wouldn't hesitate in picking Im- hoff. He guards that basket so well, you don't have a chance." The work of All-American Imhoff under the boards and a host of defensive demons running all over the floor make the Bears nearly unstoppable once they grab the lead. A 10-point California lead is comparable to twice that much for most other teams. It's not fun for a midwesterner to admit, but it looks like the UPI's coaches are right. Come March 19, California will keep the NCAA championship trophy in the San Franosco Bay area for the fourth time in six years.

Coach Newt Loken has billed the affair as "The Dual Meet of the Year," which will find the hosts facing a dual challenge, hand the Spartans their first de- feat, and get in their final prepa- ration for next weekend's Big Ted. Meet at Minneapolis.- Not only is State's team unde- feated, but so are three men, Stan Tarshis, Angelo Festa, and John Daniels, in the high bar, still rings and free exercise respectively. 7 By The Associated Press 3QUAW VALLEY, Calif. - Bill ary scored four goals, three un- isted, as the United States re- ned its perfect record in the 'mpic hockey round robin with -1 rout of Germany yesterday. 'he victory took on added im- rtance when Sweden held de- ding champion Russia to a 2-2 ils Nilsson scored both goals fer the Swedes, beaten 6-3 by a 7 i 1 e United States Monday, had I The meet will also bring to- gether two top 'rebound tumbling' teams with Loken ranking them about even. "But, in this and many of the other events, the out- come will depend on who's hitting their routines best. Every point is going to count heavily tomorrow night," he said. The invaders from Lansing have three strong men in the event, Chuck Thompson, Steve Johnson, and Tom Temple. These' three will match up with Michi- gan's "Tramp Twins" Tom Oster- land and T. Francis in addition to dependable senior Al Stall, competing in his last home meet along with Wolf Dozauer. Tumbling Battle Another top battle is expected in tumbling where Daniels also competes. Captain Bill Skinner and Jim Brown have formed a formidable duo all year for Michi- gan. However, Brown is not at. full strength. He is still not fully recovered from an injured ankle and Loken was uncertain as to his status. "We'll Just have to see how it is tomorrow night," he said. Ldken will be; working all his men to capacity in the meet, and, hoped that his nine-man squad would be able to keep up the pace against the favored visitors. Although the Spartans have yet to lose, a strong Iowa team did tie them the night before invading the Wolverines' 'lair' two weeks ago. That was a disastrous night for Michigan as the Hawkeyes romped, but Loken is looking for a closer meet tomorrow. ut soft! What taste from yonder FILTER-BL T idwell Aim For 'M' Cage Point Mark John Tidwell moved a step clos- er to setting an all-time Michigan4 single season scoring record this week as he tossed in 27 points against Wisconsin to up his total to 430 points. Tidwell, who has led the team in scoring throughout the cam- paign, has three more games to pick up the 30 points he needs to equal the record of 460 set by M. C. Burton last year. He needs only 45 more to top the 900 mark for his two seasons of varsity competition. If he continues to score at his present rate he will top both marks at Illinois next Monday. As a result of the 28 point splurge against Wisconsin, Lovell Farris has tightened the gap be- tween himself and Terry Miller in the team scoring derby, behind Tidwell. Farris now trails Miller by 31 points in total scoring over the 21 game route. The scrappy center also leads the team in rebounds, holding a commanding lead over Tidwell who is second. However burly Bob Brown is close in the rebounds per game department as he has pulled down an average of nine per game, while Farris has averaged slight- ly more than 10. The Michigan scoring statistics battled the Russians through two scoreless periods. The United States, second vic- tory without a defeat in the cham- pionship round gave the Ameri- cans a tie with Canada, which downed Czechoslovakia 4-0 in the final game last night. Canada, which has not permitted a goal by the opposition in the two games, plays the United States today. Russia, 1-0-1, takes on winless Germany. Eugeni Grishin, Russia's world champion speed skater, beat Amer- ica's Bill Disney out of a gold medal yesterday by one-tenth of a second In 500-meter race at the Winter Olympics. United States hopes in the men's figure skating also suffered a set- back when David Jenkins wound up third after three compulsory figures. Karol Divin of Czechoslo- vakia was first and Alain Giletti of France second. In the only other gold medal: event of the day, Ernst Hinterseer, a Kitzbuhel farmer, captured the men's slalom and restored Aus- tria's badly damaged skiing pres- tige. "You could compare this con- test to the Indiana-Michigan , swim meet for equality,"he said, "with the only difference being that we're not unbeaten." Loken was expecting a big crowd for the contest and said that there would be "plenty of room for all." He added that the home crowd will definitely help the team's morale. "The boys are reaching a peak and we hope to do as well -as last week against Wisconsin. If we 'hit,' we'll have that added confi- dence for the Big Ten meet."
