Wilbank's jubilant Wolverin
teammates rushed out after the
horn and took him off the mat
on their shoulders, to the cheers
of a small but enthusiastic gather-
ing of 800 spectators.
Kellermann 'Gets Lucky'
"I got lucky," Michigan's other
sophomore, Fritz Kellermann, said
after completing a 9-6 victory over
Indiana's Dick Zboray for the 137-
pound medal.
Kellerman was perhaps a bit
modest, for time and again he
maneuvered like a veteran as he
darted in and leg-tackled Zboray
for takedowns, despite having
Zboray's hands periodically shoved
in his face.
The referee assessed Kellerman]
a one-point stalling penalty earl:
in the third period, and that spur-
red Kellermann on to two late
takedowns that increased a shaky
one-point 'lead.

than Ohio State to win the Big
Ten three-meter championships.
He led Ohio State's Tom
Gompf and Sam Hall and team-
mate Joe Gerlach by four, seven
and 12 points, respectively as the
finals began.
Performing superbly, he1
stretched his slim lead and won
going away by 19.55 points. Ger-
lach, meanwhile, put on his own
stretch drive, passing Hall and
falling only 2.25 points behind
Gompf.
Indiana also had a share in the
record breaking category. Troy,
in the 100-butterfly and McKin-
ney, in the 100-backstroke also set
NCAA, Big Ten and American
standards with their respective
clockings of :53.1 and :55.5.
llThe other Michigan victory of
the evening came on Frank Legac-
ki's wire-to-wire decision in the
100-yard freestyle.
Qualifying fifth and forced to
swim in the outside lane, Legacki
broke quickly into the lead and re-
mained there throughout, despite
a belated challenge by Ohio State's
Chuck Bechtel.
Legacki's time of :50.2 was a full
second off his record breaking time
of a year ago.
Although not placing first in any
event Darnton and Gillanders
came through with some of Mich-
igan's top performances.
Gillanders, decisively beaten by
Troy in the Michigan - Indiana
dual meet two weeks ago, lost by
a foot in Friday night's 200-yard
butterfly and was beaten by the
Hoosier record holder by an iden-
tical margin in the 100 last night.
However, in both instances Gil-
landers swam the second fastest
time ever recorded in the two
events. He added a time of :53.8
last night to Friday's clocking of
2:00.2.

disappointment in the season's
dual meets, came to life in last
night's 440-yard freestyle and
came within two feet of beating
Indiana's heavily favored Sintz.
Combined with his fourth place
finish in the 1500 meters and third
in the 220, Darnton contributed
valuable points to the Wolverine
efforts.
The Maize and Blue, psychologi-
cally keyed for an all-out effort,
also received clutch point winning
performances last night from Fred
Wolf and John Smith, backstroke;
Ken Ware, breastroke; divers Ron
Jaco and Ernie Meissner; and the
400-yard medley relay team of
Smith, Clark, Gillanders and John
McGuire.
At meet's end Michigan Coach
Gus Stager, mobbed by well-wish-
ers, said only:
"I am tremendously proud of;
the team. I never thought that
they could get this high for the
meet.
"I was one of the people who
never thought 148 points would be
topped. Our goal now is the NCAA
meet. From what I read it may be
our last and we want to be pre-
pared."
Jim Counsilman, Indiana coach,'
although a loser, was similarly
pleased.
"We did as well as possible con-
sidering we only had a thirteen,
man squad. We outscored Michi-i
gan 130-125 in the swimming
events and that was our goal. We,
just can't match the Michigan
depth."
"We'll be gunning for the NCAA
meet, Michigan's depth may not
effect us as much there," he said.

Mr. Peppe-Looking Up
THERE'S A RARE species in the insect world in which the offspring
are cannibals. They devour their parents. One must admit, though,
that it's a tidy way of disposing of the old folks who have seen their
days of glory go by the boards.
And then there's homo sapiens, a species in which the forebearers:
are permitted to stick around. They, in turn, treat the kids well, teach
them the laws of the jungle and then sit back with the hope that the
youngsters have learned their lessons as well as or better than momma
and papa.
Mike Peppe will attest that a coach is a mixture of both species.1
Now in his thirtieth year as Ohio State's first and only head swimming
coach, Peppe stands by as his former pupils vie to rule a swimming
empire that was once his.
"There is no catching up with Michigan or Indiana any time in
the next five years," foresees Peppe.
He says it with resignation, but not bitterness. For Indiana's
magnificent youthful swimmers are being taught by a former OSU
swimmer. James "Doc" Counsilman. And Counsilman's sidekick, diving
coach Hobie Billingsley, who was brought to Bloomington last year
with the highest recommendation by Peppe, also wore the Buckeye
colors.
Michigan, too, utilized the fruits of Peppe's coaching genius in
winning national titles the past three years. The Wolverines' cham-
pionships were due in no small part to the diving corps built by the
late Bruce Harlan, another one of Peppe's boys.
And as Peppe watched an exhibition by Michigan's divers at yes-
terday's Big Ten meet, he observed that "Bruce is just as instrumental
in Michigan's Conference title this year as he was before he passed
away.
Continuing on Michigan's diving strength, Peppe, whose spirit and
personality is typified by his name, further added that "there is a
tendency to overlook the part of swimmers when you have divers as
good as these. But Michigan certainly wouldn't have this comfortable
bulge if it wasn't for the divers."
If one senses a partiality on Peppe's part toward diving, it is
justified. Peppe, a former diver himself, was the first head collegiate
swimming coach to become as concerned with the aerial performers
as with the splashers. He's had at least one champion diver every
year since 1936.
And when he's asked if he thinks Michigan's championship yes-
terday was won on borrowed time, he points again to the diving factor.
"Right now Michigan is the greatest swimming team in collegiate
history. They have strength in everything, even without their fine
Tony Tashnick. Ohio State sure isn't going to catch up-either with
them or Indiana. Not the way Counsilman and Stager (Gus) have
been recruiting. They're so far ahead in recruiting that it's strictly
no contest, except between the two of them.
"I used to think Matt Mann was a great recruiter, but these two
guys make him look like a piker.
"But if Indiana is going to catch up with Michigan in Big Ten
or NCAA meets, it will depend on its diving. Counsilman told me last
year that he was going for the best team in the country in 1960. I
said he wouldn't make it-not without divers.
"But Hobie is supposed to have himself some fine freshman
prospects ready for next year. If they're as strong as he says they are-
brother-everyone better beware."

Michigan won its third success-
ive weight division title when 147-
pound Jim Blaker escaped with
about a minute to go for the vital
point in a 6-5 victory over Min-
nesota sophomore Ron Wright.
Blaker had a 5-1 lead midway
through the match, but Wright got
two reversals to tie it up before
Blaker got his final escape.
Hustling every second, Dennis
Fitzgerald of Ann Arbor over-
whelmed Iowa's Joe Mullins, 12-3,
for the 167-pound championship.
Fitzgerald Romps
He got into early trouble, but
successfully countered Mullins'
takedown bid and got a takedown
of his own. Another takedown and
a near ,all in the second period
highlighted the Michigan junior's
winning effort.
Dave Camalone of Ohio State,
winner of the 123-pound title, was
voted by coaches as outstanding
wrestler of the tournament. Typi-
cal of his efforts during the meet
was a first-class victory over
Michigan State's George Hobbs,
6-2, in yesterday's title bout.
Iowa's Gordon Trapp got the
day's only pin when he flattened
George Ihnat of Indiana in 3:37
for the 177-pound championship.
