i THE MICHIGAN DAILY Y, Fl THE MICHIGAN DAILY YF] :reased Competition omotes Gymnastics 'M' Tankers Expect Real Tesi By CLIFF MARKS "Although the growth of gym- astics as a sport in the last cade has been phenomenal, the vel of achievement in performing ghly difficult stunts has been en more so," said Michigan Gym :ach Newt Loken, discussing the nazing tricks gymnasts are doing ese days. Loken said that this improved vel of performance is because ere is so much more competition day than there has been in the st 10 years. "There were over 1 schools in the last NCAA meet,' )mpared to about a dozen 10 ars back," he added. "However, od form and style are important, New Stunts This competition has led to any "fantastic" stunts with ames that even the enthuiastic im fan does not recognize. One Loken's squad members ex- ained that these names are part the gymnastic "lingo" just as ny other sport has its own slang. "The names given the tricks are st a shorthand notation for ighly complicated routines done gymnastics," he said. Before going into detailed de- riptions and explanations of the unts, which are hard to picture words, but easy to understand if en, Loken said that he would y to help educate the students iring Saturday's important meet ith unbeaten Iowa, by announc- .g the stunts as they are per- rmed. The listing of these tricks will a preliminary introduction to e technical gymnastics terms bich describe them. 2 In free exercise, there is a Full Twist, which is a back somersault with a twist in mid-air. (That's an easy one.) There also is a Valdez, which Wolverine, Wolf Dozauer does by casting himself backward from a sitting position into a handstand. Intricate Maneuvers The parallel bars have some intricate maneuvers involved. The Stutz to a Handstand is is a for- ward swing on the bars with a half twist to a handstand. Loken de- scribed this as'"fabulous" and said that, "everybody is twisting these days." Also on the P-bars (another gym term) is the Streilli, which sees the g mnast do a back roll from his arms, then "shoot" into a handstand. Probably the most complicated trick of all is the Cast Straight Arm Catch, which is a projection of a suspended body from under the bar into a straight arm position. On the high bar, there are sev- eral tricky stunts, notably the German and Eagle Giants. These are both Giant swings, the former being, a reverse, inverted one, and the latter, done by Michigan's Barry Feinberg, a swing with the arms in eagle or dislocated posi- tion. Montpetit Special Rich Montpetit, Wolverine all- around man, does a Takamoto Mount on the high bar, in which he "dislocates" his shoulders into a full twist, followed by a vault over the bar. Teammate Al Stall has accomplished a double flyaway dismount several times on the bar. The side horse finds a Russian Moore, involving two Moors in a row. A Moore is a complete turn on one palm. Then there is the 1 Loop, several leg circles on the' end of the horse. On the other hand, just plain tumbling finds Jim Brown doing a double backward somersault (his first one Monday) and captain Bill Skinner doing Bounders-Into-Full, a series of back flips and a roll. Loken said that these stunts will be on display Saturday. night" in one of the finest exhibitions of motor skills Michigan students can see this year." By HAL APPLEBAUM "The Michigan State meet will give us our first, chance to really go," Michigan swim coach Gus Stager said as he glanced over the entries for Saturday's dual meet with the Spartans. "For the first time this season we will be able to swim all of our good swimmers," he continued. ".'Some of our best men haven't had a chance to go against good competition all year and with the Indiana meet little more than a week away we need all the work we can get." After winning their first five dual meets, Michigan State swam against Indiana last week and was soundly defeated, 72-33. How- ever, Stager feels that the MSU team is stronger than that score indicates. "Michigan State has a good man in every event and their meet with Indiana was considerably closer than the score would seem to show. They will certainly be the best team we have faced this year and we will have to swim well to beat them," Stager mentioned, still looking over the Spartan roster. Indiana Tops In beating Michigan State last Saturday, Indiana put on a per- formance that earned them the praise of MSU coach Charles Mac- Caffree who called them "the greatest college team in the coun- try." Although the Spartans failed to win a first place in the swimming events, their times for second and third place were faster than those that Michigan swimmers have had to post in winning their previous meets. A Real Battle. Therefore, the Wolverines are expecting a tough battle from the visitors from East Lansing. With the results of the Indiana- Michigan State meet on hand, Michigan will not only be going all out in their meet with the Spartans, but they will also have their sights on the times that they will need to have in order to win the following week against Indiana. A poor performance against Michigan State could foreshadow a rugged road ahead for the Wol- verines as the members of the Michigan team will have to swim as fast or faster than their best previous clockings if they are to match the times turned in by Indiana and Michigan State last weekend. One Michiganx swimmer said, "We really haven't had to swim I-M Scores FRATERNITY A Alpha Kappa Lambda 1, Trigon 0 (forfeit) DeltaKappa Epsilon 46, Tau Epsi- lon Phi 17 FRATERNITY B Sigma Alpha Mu 47, Phi Kappa Psi 16 Alpha Epsilon Pi 34, Phi sigma Del- ta 19 - Alpha Tau Omega 54, Alpha Kappa, Lambda 20 Lambda Chi Alpha 1, Alpha Sigma Phi 0 (forfeit) Sigma Alpha Epksilon 37, Zeta Psi 16 Delta Tan Delta 33, Phi Kappa sig- ma 11 Theta X1 29, Delta Upsilon7 7 Theta Chi 27, TanDelta Phi 22' Sigma Phi Epsilon 42, Delta Chi 7 Alpha Delta Phi 21, Phi Sigma Kap- pa 14 Chi Psi 23, Pi Lambda Phi 14 Psi Upsilon 31, Sigma Nu 30 Sigma Chi 65, Phi Kappa Tau 12 fast this season and as hard we've worked in practice, we s don't know how fast we can go competition. the Michigan St meet should help us find out." lers Fall In- WCHA Standings N STALL SUSPENDED -- AU Stall, Michigan gymnast, practices on the parallel bars in preparation for Saturday's important home meet with unbeaten Iowa. Stall is trying to perfect one of the difficult stunts which are becoming common in gymnastics today. Midwest Tops NCAA Marks; Michigan Stars Pace Field By The Associated Press Athletes in the Midwest Dis- trict of the National Collegiate Athletic Association have won one-fourth of all national team k ,hampionships' and more than one-third of the individual titles in the 76-year history of the NCAA.

Fred Katz, Associate Sports Editor The Perils of Perigo BILL PERIGO probably has pinched himself so many times this winter that he's numb by now. And everytime he does so, he makes the painful discovery that his nightmare is very much for real. There are no set limits on how much punishment a coach of a losing team has to take. But one rather wishes the SPCBC (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Basketball Coaches) would step In and, if nothing more, provide Perigo with an aggregate of healthy, scholarly players. After what he's been through, it would make losing a game almost a relief. So far this season it's become mere routine for Perigo to count noses at practice and see who's mHissing. Seven players, five of them starters either last year or this one, have been dropped from the roll, although one should return shortly. Cries Perigo, "I've never had this much trouble keeping players in my 25 years of coaching combined. It's been one of those years when it doesn't rain - it pours." Besides pouring defeats (14 of 'em seven moreopportunities still ahead), there has been a deluge of three injuries, three losing battles with the books and one miscellany. The complete list in chronological order: Arlen Parker - 6'3" junior center; withdrew before the season began because of shin splints and chipped bones. Denis Robison - 6'S" sophomore center who had been improving rapidly; dropped off to concentrate on pre-med studies; has now transferred to Toledo University. Gary Kane - 6'3" junioryforward; was considered a possible starter once he got his basketball legs under him after football season; withdrew voluntarily after being omitted from traveling ros- ter in early December. Rich Robins - 6'1" regular, junior guard; started first four games but dropped off because of academic problems. Rich Meyer - 6'6%" center; suffering from double trouble; was scheduled; to start against Miami (O.) after fine showing against Northwestern in the Los Angeles Classic, but incurred kidney ailment. He recovered but then ran into a unique eligibility problem: told he could turn a B into an A by writing an extra term paper, he failed to finish it before the semester ended; he will rejoin the squad, pos- sibly this weekend, when he has removed the incomplete from his record. Dick Clark - '1" sophomore, regular guard; groin tumor spot- ted before the Minnesota game last month; serious operation appar- ently successful, but he's lost for the season. Scott Maentz - 6'3" sophomore, regular forward; went under academically after last semester. * * * * ]ICHIGAN fans need have no worries about the Wolverines set- ting any Big Ten records for futility in Conference competition. The University of Chicago set a dandy mark over a period of seven years that should stand as a permanent tribute to the inept Maroons. From 1939-47, Chicago lost 67 league games; it won once. Any questions as to why the Windy City school dropped out of the Big Ten 13 years ago? Although the Wolverines have shown much improvement their last two games, they will have to put on a fast spurt to avoid setting a Michigan record for Big Ten defeats. The 1917-18 outfit lost all 10 Conference games to claim possession of this dubious archive up to now. GEORGE LEE, who used to provide many a chuckle in Yost Field House with his bull-like tactics, now is entertaining the fans in the National Industrial League. He contributed significantly to a re- cent daffy situation in which Peoria scored six straight points with- out Lee's Denver team handling the ball. Peoria's Lyndon Lee was fouled as he made a successful lay-up At the same time, George was assessed a technical foul for hanging onto the hoop while this action was in progress! The former Lee made his free toss, Bob Boozer sank the technical shot and then Don Ohl hit on a jump after Peoria brought the ball in-bounds from mid- court. OUR NOMINATION for the Big Ten's guttiest player: Illinois' Lou Landt. Billed as one of the finest prospects ever to hit the Illini campus five years ago, the Chicago Roosevelt High School product met near- tragedy that fall. Shrapnel from the shotgun of a hunting companion ripped through Landt's left leg. Doctors were doubtful if he'd even walk again, much less return ot the basketball court. Landt still bears a jagged scar and has a trace of a limp, but he currently holds down a regular guard spot for the second-place Illin.
