Sintz was timed in 18:22.4 while
Pendleton and Darnton were
clocked in 18:40.5 and 18:48.1 re-
spectively.
In the lone evening final Michi-
gan's Wolf, a pre-meet favorite,
had little trouble winning the 200-
yard individual medley.
However, the seven points
earned by Wolf was surpassed by
three as Indiana's Bill Barton,
Dick Weaver ,and Frank Brunell
finished second, third and sixth
respectively.
Wolf finished the first 50 yards,
butterfly, in this four stroke race
tied with Iowa's Jack Mitchell, but

he pulled out to a three-foot lead
in the backstroke, his specialty.
He lengthened his lead in the
fial two strokes, breaststroke and
freestyle, and finished nearly three
yards in front of Barton.
Barton and Beaver, while never
seriously challenging the leader,
had to stave off a late rally by
Minnesota's Chip Peterson and
mitchell, who fell behind in the
middle strokes to finish in the
second and third spots.
Wolf's mark of 2:06.6, the fast-
est of his career, lowered his pool
mark by one-tenth of a second,
but failed by the same margin to
tie he NCAA, American and Big
Ten record held by Tony Tashnick.

their third straight conference
title were given a Doost in the
ine-meter diving preliminaries, the
last and only other event on the
evening's program.
With seven of eleven dives com-
pleted, Michigan junior Joe Ger-
lach has taken a nine-point lead
over defending champion Sam
Hall of Ohio State..
Wolverine Bob Webster, as ex-
pected, is close to the pace-setting
duo and trails Hall by less than
eight points. Fifth through most
the evening, he rallied in the last
two dives to close in on the lead-
ers.
However, the big surprise for
Michigan in the diving was pro-
vided by Ernie Meissner and Ron
Jaco, who currently hold down
fourth and fifth place in the
standings.
Both performed above expecta-
tions, earning hte accolades of the
assembled coaches, divers, swim-
mers and most important, the
Judges.
Ohio State's Tom Gompf, ex-
pected to challenge the three lead=
ers, proved to be the evening's
major disappointment and barely
qualified for the finals, finishing
seventh.
Performing unspectacularly on
his first three dives, disaster
struck when Gompf hit his feet on
the end of the board as he entered
the water on his fourh dive.
He was uninjured, but fell from
fifth to 11th as a result of this
miscue, but diving in champion-
ship manner he moved up to
seventh on the final dives and
qualified for the finals.
The meet will move into high
gear today with seven final events
scheduled. Preliminaries will begin
at 12:30 and finals at 8:00.

Team Captains
Michigan swimmers elected sen-

as acting co-captains for the re-
mainder of the season to replace
Tony Tashnick, who became aca-
demically ineligible this past week.
Smith, a backstroker from De-
troit, and Woolley, a freestyler
from Brockton, Mass., has placed
in the Big Ten and NCAA cham-
pionships in both their sophomore
and junior years.
Woolley also represented the
United States in the 1955 Pan
American Games held at Mexico
City, while Smith was an alternate
on the 1956 U.S. Olympic team.

None of these points will be

In addition, teams today will re-
ceive one point for -each match.
won by decision, and two for each
victory by fall or default. Only
these ."advancement" points will
be awarded today, but a team that
gets 12 to 15 points and places
five or six of its men in tomorrow's
matches will be in a strong posi-
tion to win the team crown.
Policy Change
This year's meet will see a de-J
parture from past Big Ten wres-
tling meet policy in Olympic years.
Two weights, 115 and 191 pounds,
will be contested, but only as "ex-
hibition" bouts.
Competition in these two divi-
sions will not count toward team
totals, although medals will be
given to the champions at these
weights.
In the past the Big Ten has in-
eluded 115 and 191 competition
in the ponference tournament in
Olympic years, and counted points
earned by grapplers in those
classes toward team totals. The
change in policy is necessitated by
the general lack of 115 and 191-
sized matmen this year.
Root, Curtis To Compete
Michigan's Coach Keen will have
entries at 115 and 191 in the per-
sons of Willard Root and Guy
Curtis (who has shaken off 35
pounds recently).
The other Wolverine entries
(with season records in paren-
theses) are: 123 pounds, Captain
Mike Hoyles (8-1-1); 130, Ambi
Wilbanks (5-4); 137, Fritz Keller-
mann (6-3); 147 Jim Blaker (5-5);
157, Dick Fronczak (5-2-1); 167,
Dennis Fitzgerald (9-0-0); 177,
Karl Fink (9-0-2); and heavy-
weight, Fred Olm (6-2-3).
Fitzgerald Best Chance
Fitzgerald, runnerup at 167 in
last year's meet; is generally con-
sidered Michigan's best bet for an
individual title. Hoyles (another
1959 runnerup) and Fink will
make strong bids for champion-
ships, too, and all the other Wol-
verines are capable of picking up
points.
Indeed, if Michigan wins the

team crown it may well be due to
the squad's overall balance. -It's
a winning formula, too-Minne-
sota relied on balance to squeak
out its four-point victory at Iowa'
City last year.

sentially, it looks like the same

BDAVE LYON
Associate Sports Editor
Big Ten wrestling coaches last
night rated Michigan men among
the four strongest in each of the
weight classes in making their
preferences for "seedings" in to-
day's Big Ten meet.
Thus, no Michigan grappler will
face a rated opponent in this af-
ternoon's preliminary bouts. The
real test for the Wolverines comes
tonight when they bump into
k* .hly-rated opposition in the
semi-fignals in the main gym-
nasium of the I-M Building.
If Michigan can produce a half-
dozen semi-final victories, Coach
Cliff Keen's matmen will be in
an advantageous position to score
heavily in tomorrow's final
matches and thus win the team
championship.
Here's how each Michigan grap-
pler fared in the coaches' ratings
last night, and who they drew as
first-round opponents:
Mike Hoyles (123 pounds), beat-
en only by George Hobbs of
Michigan State, was rated second
behind Hobbs, and will face Pur-
due's Stan Henderson and (if he
wins) Illinois' Ron Pineda this
afternoon.
Soph Ambl Wilbanks (130),
seeded third behind MSU's Norm
Young and Iowa's John Kelly, will
face Ohio State's Don Green in
his first Big Ten tournament
metch.
Fritz Kellerman (137), Michi-
gan's other sophomore contestant,
and unbeaten in Big Ten dual
meets, opposes OSU's John Flet-
cher in his initial bout today.
Kellerman was also seeded third,
behind Dominic Fatta of Purdue
and Charles Coffee of Minnesota.
Jim Blaker (147), seeded fourth
behind Iowa's Del Rossberg, Min-
nesota's Ron Wright, and Indi-
ana's Russ Smith, goes against
John Sampson of Northwestern in
,the preliminaries.
Dick Fronczak (157) meets Indi-
ana's John Grill in the prelims.
Northwestern's Art Kraft, MSU's
Bob Moser, and Purdue's Bob
Marshall were rated ahead of
Fronczak.
Dennis Fitzgerald (167), con-

querer of nine straight opponents
in dual meets, gets his first tour-
nament test this afternoon from
MSU's Roger Tavenner. Seeded
first, Fitzgerald will get competi-
tion in this weight class from
Iowa's Joe Mullins and Minne-
sota's Bob Koehnen.
Karl Fink (177), the only unde-
feated Big Ten grappler at this
weight, was seeded third behind
one-beaten Bill Koehnen of Min-
nesota and Gordon Trapp of Iowa.
Fink and MSU's Mike Senzig will
mix it up in the prelims.
Fred Olm (heavyweight), seeded
fourth, battles Minnesota's Don
Mrochinski in first-round action
today. Northwestern's Rory Weber
is seeded first, then comes MSU's
John Baum and Iowa's Sherwyn
Thorson.
Michigan ,the only team with a
full complement of 10 men, will
have Willard Root and Guy Curtis
wrestling in the "exhibition" 115
a: 1 191-pound classifications.
How will the Big Ten meet turn
out? Here ar some eyebrow-raising
predictions. TEAMS-Iowa, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Michigan State,
Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana,
Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin.
INDIVIDUALS - Hoyles (123),
Barnhill (130), Fatts (137), Ross-
berg (147), Kraft (157), Fitzgerald
(167), Koehnen (177), Thorson
(heavyweight).

Over Oakland
OAKLAND, Calif.(1-The play-
er-shy Oakland club demanded at
least 35 more players last night
from the other seven teams of the
new American Football League
and set off a prolonged discussion.
It continued far into the night
without solving the problem of
player distribution,.
Fourteen players signed by other
American League clubs were as-
signed to Oakland earlier in the
meeting of club owners, managers
and coaches. They came from Min-
neapolis-St. Paul after it dropped
its bid for a franchise.
