THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, F' THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, F 4' lcers Invade Tech Tom Robinson Suffers Injury, Will Not Run in MSU Relays By TOM WITECKI Michigan's Big Ten spring cham- pion Tom Robinson will not com-' pete in the Michigan State Relays at East Lansing this Saturday be- cause of a cramp in his right thigh. The Bahaman speedster suffered the injury while running in the Chicago Track Club dual meet last Friday night at Yost Fieldhouse. While the injury is not a serious one, it has prevented the Michi- gan sprinter from running at top speed in practice sessions this week. Failed To Respond1 Robinson said. "My leg has failed to respond to treatment given it this week; thus, Coach Canham and I both thought it would be a good idea not to enter the Relays. "Until the leg responds to treatment, Robinson will be limited to light workouts. Robinson's withdrawal ruins the plans of Michigan State promot- ers, who had matched the Wol- verine junior against Charlie Tid- well of Kansas in the 75-yd. dash. Since Robinson is the Big Ten 60- and 300-yard champion and Tid- well is the NCAA 100-yd, titlist, this was billed as one of Satur- day's top races. The thing that hurt most about Robinson's new injury was that he had just begun to show signs of full recovery from the ,one he suffered last spring. Running in the Penn Relays last May, the Wolverine sprinter pulled a ham- string muscle in the same right thigh. n v ..... . . , This injury slowed him up all last spring and when he attempted to run in the Big Ten outdoor meet, he seriously reinjured it. Thus, Robinson was forced to sit out the rest of the outdoor season, missing the NCAA meet, the na- tional AAU meet and the Pan- American meet in Chicago. Robinson rested all this time and didn't run again until early this winter. His time trial clock- ings were impressive and it looked as if he was on the road to re- covery. The last two weekends, in fact, he looked like the Robinson of last year, running :6:2 in the 60 and :31.2 in the 300. The times are especially impressive since it is still early in the season and Rob- inson like most runners has yet to work himself into top physical shape. First Race Saturday was to have been Rob- inson's first race against real tough competition this, winter. Robinson had never raced against Tidwell and had been looking for- ward to meeting the Kansas star. But that will have to wait until another day, perhaps the Texas Relays in May, or the NCAA meet in June-that is if Robinson fully recovers from his injuries. Right now Michigan Coach Don Canham and Wolverine track fans aren't looking quite that far ahead. They are thinking of three weeks from this Saturday when the Wolverines will be called upon to defend their Conference indoor track title at Columbus. Record Holder Robinson, who is the Big Ten record holder in two events: :6.1 in the 60 and :30.3 in the 300-is a key factor in Michigan's chances. With Robinson,'the Wol- verines came up with several spec- tacular performances to win the indoor title last winter. Without Robinson the Wolverines failed to perform spectacularly and lost the outdoor title to Illinois last spring. A healthy Robinson is a shoo-in for two firsts in the Conference and can be expected to run a fast leg in the mile relay. Both in points scored and psychologically, Robinson is an asset the Wolver- ines can hardly afford to lose. Pu RENFREW SMILING-Michigan's hockey coach, smiling here, wasn't so happy earlier this week when his Wolverines lost to Michigan State. However, he will have a chance to regain that smile tonight as the Michigan skaters take on Michigan Tech at Houghton. The Wolverines beat the Huskies twice here at Ann Arbor.
