TUE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESE IAY FEBRUARY 9, I9 I II' Wrestlers Swamp Wildcats Fink, Fitzgerald, Hoyles Keep Unbeaten Records Northwestern's wrestlers were anything but Wildcats Saturday as they meekly succumbed to Michigan, 20-5, in an afternoon dual meet at NU's McGaw Hall. In 72 minutes of wrestling ac- tion the eight Northwestern mat- men combined for zero takedowns (Michigan had 13). That the home team scored at all is remarkable. Michigan breezed to decision victories in the first six bouts for an 18-0 lead, thus wrapping up its sixth straight dual win. The opportunity for a rare shut- out (Michigan's last whitewash- ing of a Big Ten team was a 30-0 romp over Purdue in 1930) was lost as 177-pound Karl Fink drew with NU's Chris Wunsch, 1-1. This was worth two points to each team's score. CHREE REMAINING UNBEATENS-Dennis Fitzgerald, Mike Hoyles, and Karl Fink -(from left) have opes of compiling undefeated dual meet records for Coach Cliff Keen's matmen with four meets left. ioyles is now 6-0-1, Fitzgerald 5-0-0, Fink 5-0-2.

Virginia, 59-31,1 running the season's dual meet; record to 6-2. "We put on our best perform- ance of the year," said Coach Newt Loken. "The boys are be- ginning to hit on big time routines, aimed for the Big Ten Meet." Practicing Hard Loken explained that his squad is practicing hard this month to Gymnastics First Jim Brown, Michigan tum- bling ace, performed the first double backward somersault in Wolverine gymnastic history yesterday in practice, Coach Newt Loken excitedly told The Daily last night. Brown had been working on this extremely difficult stunt all year. perfect new stunts of added length and difficulty. "Against Ohio State, they held back nothing in their routines, and did a fine job," be said. "Both Rich Montpetit and Al Stall did some amazing stunts Saturday. If we could have only clicked the same way against Illi- nois, the result might have been different," he lamented. Stall and Montpetit each copped three firsts to lead the winners, but Loken held down the score somewhat against the inferior op- ponents by having his 'members work events just for practice with the scores not counting. Osterland Wins Tom Osterland won the rebound tumbling event with T. Francis a close second. "Tom threw a big time routine and, if he keeps it up, could be the next Big Ten. champion. T. was right behind and would have been up there but faltered slightly," Loken said. "Jim Brown also looked great in winning tumbling. It may well have been the best performance of his life," said the Coach. "He threw his double twister twice, and said that he will attempt his double back somersault against Iowa." Captain Bill Skinner did not compete in his favorite event against Brown due to a slight thumb injury in warm-up. Loken had one more team mem- ber to single out in Ken Saka- moto, who "did an exceptional fob."
