THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Wolverine Cagers Open Season at Pitt Tonight p ung Michigan Team Faces Panthers; re Sophomores Make Traveling Squad Freshman Gymnasts Team with Seniors In Intra-Squad Meet Tonight at IM Gym By TOM WITECKI k youthful Michigan basketball m will open its 1959-60 season dght with a contest .against tsburgh. 'ive sophomores were on the 11 n traveling squad that flew to tsburgh at 5:00 p.m. yesterday. hough none of them are in ach Bill Perigo's starting line- a, few of them may be before night is over. rop yearling candidates are ward Scott Maentz and guard 3k Clark, who are r'ated as the th and seventh men on the dlverine squad. rust a few weeks ago 6'3" entz was catching passes for mp Elliott's squad, and it has amazed Perigo how rugged sophomore has changeover. Top Shot fast thej made the Clark, who is 6'1", was rated one of the top shots 'on the fresh- man squad last winter. Another versatile athlete, this sophomore is rated a top infield prospect for the Wolverine nine this spring. Maentz will fill in occasionally for forward Rich Donley while Clark is slated to spell Rich Rob- bins in the guard slot. Donley and Robbins earned let- ters as sophomores last winter when they both saw limited ac- tion. Donley, at 6'5", will be the tallest. player , in the Michigan starting lineup, while the speedy iseball Team To Train Arizona This Spring 6'1" Robbins should add to the Wolverines' fast break attack. The other three starters, Terry Miller, John Tidwell and center Lovell Farriss, will probably play without relief, barring injuries and excessive fouling. Team Captain Miller will be playing with a taped knee and Tidwell still feels occasional pain in the knee he injured last winter. However, Peirgo thinks they both will be able to put in full-time duty. This twosome are the highest scoring players returning from last year's squad and are the key men on the Wolverines fast break of- fense. More Sophs The three remaining sopho- mores are Dennis Robison, Steve Schoenherr and Richard Lyons. Perigo describes the 6'5" Robison as a "good faker in the pivot posi- tion, but needing more work on defense." Schoenherr and Lyons are both guards. Rounding out the traveling squad is Richard Myers, a 6'5" junior. Despite its overall lack of height, Perigo seems optimistic about the team's chances this win- ter. He said, "This is one of the hardest working squads I have ever had. It is faster than last year's team and its overall shoot- ing is better." However, with their lack "of re- bounding strength it is question- able how many times the Wolver- ines will get a chance to exhibit their shooting talents. OPENER TONIGHT-John Tidwell drives in for a layup shot in a game against Minnesota last winter. The high-scoring Junior will be in the starting lineup for Michigan's game at Pittsburgh tonight. SPORT SHORTS: Cannon, Lucas Receive College Football Awards, By CLIFF MARKS Michigan's far-flung freshman gymnasts will team with the seniors tonight in an'intra-squad meet against the sophomores and juniors at 7:30: p.m. in the I-M auxiliary gymnasium. The nine freshmen are spread intersectionally from Canada to Tucson, Ariz., with only two from Michigan. Only one of the var- sity's nine is from the Wolverine state. Coach Newt Loken attributes this lack of home grown gymnasts to the fact that there isn't much of a high school gym program in the state of Michigan as yet. Participation Increases "However, the past four or five years has seen a great increase in gym participation here in. Mich- igan," Loken said, "and another few years should see more gym- nasts here from the home state." The three Michigan boys now on the squad, frosh John Buss from Ann Arbor and Lewis Fenner from Port Huron, and junior Tom Francis from Birmingham were products of this recent upsurge. As for the other seven fresh- men, four of whom are from Can- ada, Loken said that his recruit- ing policy is a combination of various factors. "I usually manage to see a few .high school meets every year, in- cluding Canadian ones, and the Chicago Invitational (two frosh are from the Chicago area) and that's where I see a lot of the boys. I also get letters from in- t e r e s t e d people, usually high school coaches, about prospects, Numerous Frosh Loken ranks this year's fresh- man team one of his best, "as a group." "The fact that there are nine of them, instead of the usual two or three is outstanding in it- self," the coach said. Tonight's meet, the second in- tra-squad affair, will feature the freshmen, who lost to the varsity earlier, 75-34, in their respective events. Competing will be Gil LaRose, Jim ,Hynds and Bob Harris in the all-around event; Buss and Bary Spicer in the free exercise and tumbling; Fenner and Jim Sprow in the side horse; Mark Ernberg on the trampoline, and Norm Sak- amoto, another tumbler. The meet will be the varsity's final tuneup before Saturday's Midwest Open at Chicago. w Swim Gala Rescheduled For Saturday,_Dc.12 .8 4 At least ten and probably 12 ames will keep Michigan's var- lty basebaliers busy during an in- mnsive eight-day training "session i Arizona this spring. The move, announced yester- ay, is a departu're from the Wol- erines' usual journey to Florida. "In scheduling 10 to 12 games, e can be sure of getting them all z with the terrific weather out here," explained Freshman Coach [oby Benedict. "Rain in Florida mited us to seven games there st year." Improved conditioning is ex- pected to be the major benefit of the change in training sites. "Naturally, the more games you can get under your belts, before the season starts, the better shape the ballplayers will be in," Bene- dict said. Wyoming, Arizona and Arizona State will form the Wolverines' opposition in games at Tucson and Tempe. Tentative plans are for the team to leave the Thursday night pre- ceding'the beginning of spring va- cation:and to return the Saturday beford classes resume. The 25th Annual Michigan" Swim Gala, originally scheduled for December 5, has been resched- uled for Saturday, December 12, because of conflicts with home basketball and hockey games. The Gala, presented by Gus Stager and his NCAA Champion swimming team and diving coach Dick Kimball and the Michigan diving team, is a show complete with brilliant competition, swim- ming and hilarious comedy. Coach Stager will send his squad against the best swimmers in the Mid-West in the Michigan AAU championships. The preliminaries start at. 11:00 a.m. with some of the finals slated at 4:00 p.m. and the others as part of the evening show. The divers will compete in the one meter championships at 3:00 p.m. and will present an exhibition of three meter and platform div- ing in the evening. However in the evening the swimmers and divers also turn to comedy. The hilarious stunts pulled by the divers from the plat- form last year drew raves from the full house that packed. they Varsity' Pool bleachers. The tickets are priced at $1.00 general admission and $.60 for students. One, ticket admits the holder to all events and the eve- ning show.

Detroit's great sophomores beat assumption, 106-50. game, but the most pleasing aspect of the scoring to coach Al Ren- frew, was the fact that all three lines showed punch, each line tak- ing the major share of the glory in one of the three wins. The only problem arising out of the trip was the loss of Carl White for four weeks with a broken thumb suffered in the Clarkson contest. 'Shut Out The Wolverines started their season off with a bang, as they whitewashed St. Lawrence in their first of two meetings, 6-0. Fully recovered from a rocky plane ride, the Michigan squad showed a balanced attack, out- shooting the Larries in every stanza and scoring in each frame. The sophomore line of Al Hin- negan, Jerry Kolb and Joe Lung- hammer produced half of the eve- ning's output., The ice was broken in a fairly even first period when Gary Matt- son, firing from the corner, car- omed a shot off the shoulder of the St. Lawrence goalie. In the second stanza, the Wol- verines really poured it on and tallied three goals as Michigan goalie Jim Coyle had only eight saves to make on his way to his first shutout since his junior hockey days. Breakaway Steve Bochen, Lunghammer and Pat Cushing scored in this period. Cushing's breakaway after a pass from Dale MacDonald, was the backbreaker for the St. Lawrence team. Early in the last frame, the Wol- verines got a chance to practice their power play as a penalty put the Larries shorthanded. It took only 46 seconds for Michigan to cash in, as sharp passing'in close finally gave Kolb an opening and he took it for his first goal in a Michigan uniform. Lunghammer dented the net for the second time of the evening at 8:40 of the last period to round out the rout of St. Lawrence. Coyle Stars In the second game, played at Clarkston, the Wolverines kept pouring goals into the nets and Jim C'oyle kept the opposition's shots out as Michigan racked up its second shutout in two nights, 8-0. This was the night for the "yel- low line," Bill Kelley, MacDonald and Cushing, to shine. Kelley and MacDonald each dumped in a pair, of goals into the Clarkson nets and Cushing got three assists for his evening's work. White, Mattson, Hinnegan and Watt each lit the red light once to fill out the scoring. Penalties Hurt Coyle had his work cut out for him in the dying seconds of the game, as the Wolverines were short two men because of penalties. But the defensemen gave him beauti- ful cover and cleared the puck four times in the last minute and a half to stretch his unscored upon streak to 120 minutes. Returning to Canton to face St. Lawrence on Saturday, the Wol- verines ran into an entirely dif- ferent club. The fired-up Larries outskated a tired Michigan squad throughout most of the game. Watt counted the first goal of the evening, but St. Lawrence took advantage of the fact that Michi- gan was playing its third game in three nights and played a race- horse brand of hockey, scoring three times in both the first and third periods. The Wolverines came to life in the last frame and almost pulled it out of the fire. Trailing 4-2, they knotted the score only to have the Larries score two more quick goals on breakaways. With two minutes left, Bochen tallied to bring the Wolverines to within one goal, but the clock ran out with Michigan trying vainly to catch up. Still smarting over the loss to St. Lawrence, Michigan ended its road trip by methodically taking, apart Toronto, 5-1. This weekend's twin bill with Colorado should give Michigan fans a cliance to see how the Wol- verines will fare in the tougher Western Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation. substantial margin over his clos- est rivals -quarterbacks Richie Lucas of Penn State and Don Meredith of Southern Methodist. * * .
