Page 10--Tuesday, January 9, 1979-The Michigan Daily Blue tumblers fourth By DIANE SILVER The Michigan men's gymnastics team kicked off the new year at the Wheaton College Invitational in Wheaton, Illinois, last Saturday. All-arounder Nigel Rothwell's limited performance, due to a severely sprained thumb, affected Michigan's final score of 196.5 for fourth place. Rothewell's injury forced him to sit out three events: rings, parallel bars and the high bar. Four Oregon gymnasts, each tallying over 50 points in the all-around competition, led their team to a first place victory with 213 points. Arizona State followed with 208.9 and Illinois placed third with 204.5. Wheaton came in fifth with 114.4. Although no Michigan tumblers earned first place in any individual event, commendable performances were turned in by Jim Varilek with a 9.0 on floor exercise and a 9.25 on vault, Bob Creek with a 9.1 on high bar and John Rieckoff with an 8.15 on pommel horse. Fine routines were also displayed by Gordon Iligman with an 8.45 on parallel bars and Darrell Yee with an 8.75 on rings. AP Basketball Poll 1. Michigan St. (38) 2. Notre Dame (8) 3.

The Blue grapplers will need all the momentum they can muster if they hope to be at all successful in this weekend's meets. On Wednesday they face fourth ranked Lehigh, followed by, a Big Ten clash with Northwestern on Friday, ending the week with an en- counter against third ranked Iowa State. BAHR WAS extremely impressed with the caliber of wrestling Michigan displayed against the Buckeyes. "It was our best effort of the season ... our conditioning was outstanding com- pared to Ohio State's." The meet wasn't as close as-the 29-14 score indicated. The Buckeyes picked up six of their points as a result of a Michigan forfeit in the 126 pound weight class. A number of outstanding efforts were turned in by the Michigan wrestlers. 118 pounder Jim Mathias raised his overall record to 9-7 with a 10-4 decision over Ohio State's Joe Biggs. In the 150 pound class, Michigan's Lou Joseph wrestled to a 7-7 draw with nationally ranked Andy DiSabato. Mark Churella kept rolling with a pin at the 2:30 mark of his match, increasing his record to 27-1. MICHIGAN JUNIOR Steve Fraser raised his record to 24-4 with a 10-4 vic- tory. Heavyweight Steve Bennett closed out the meet with a win by disqualification as the result of the towel being thrown in by the Ohio State coach. "That's the first time I've seen that happen (the towel being thrown in) when there wasn't an injury,"stated Bahr. It appeared the Buckeye coach didn't feel his wrestler was going all out so he threw in the towel. Last year the Wolverines narrowly defeatedthe Buckeyes, 23-20. Ohio State hasn't beaten Michigan for the last 34 years. the fact that they will be coming off a road encounter with number two rated Wisconsin. "Right now I think we can go with them," said Bahr. Lehigh's Mike Brown, wrestling at 190, placed third in last year's NCAAs and is 7-0 in dual meet competition this year. Bahr predicts the Brown-Fraser matchup will be the most exciting of the night. A WIN FOR Michigan would be a great recovery 'from last year's humiliating defeat at the hands of Lehigh. It would also help greatly in it - creasing Michigan's national ranking: Friday's opponent for the Wolverines, Northwestern, although not as tough a squad as Lehigh, is by no means a pushover. The Wildcats ended up sixth in the Big Ten last year, one position behind Michigan. Third ranked Iowa State is a powerhouse and has already knocked off Wisconsin. Bahr and assistant coach Willie Gadson both left coaching jobs at Iowa State last year to come to Michigan. BAHR ISN'T hoping for any miracles against the Cyclones, but hopefully to put a dent in the score, more than the Wolverines did last year. Over the Christmas vacation a few Michigan wrestlers competed in the Midlands Tournament in Illinois. The tournament consisted of collegiate and post-collegiate wrestlers. Bahr feels, "The Midlands might even be tougher than the NCAAs." In the tournament, Churella placed third, losing to Larry Zilverberg, assistant coach at Minnesota. Fraser placed fourth while Gadson captured the gold at 190 for the second year in a row. All three meets are in Crisler; Wed- nesday at 7:30, Friday at 5:30 and Saturday at 3:30. Admission price for the meets is 50 cents for students and $1 for adults. Mark Churella ...- --.

The men are coming off a tough 57-56 loss at Alabama last Thursday. The Wolverine swimmers had numerous opportunities to win the meet against Alabama, a team that coach Gus Stager says is one of the better teams in the nation. But they fell behind early in the meet when they didn't score in the first event, the 1000-yard freestyle. Stager had been looking for a 1-2 or 1-3 finish in the race. Despite the loss, he was pleased with the job his squad did. "I'm very proud of this team because they didn't let the first event get to them. We really came back and did a very creditable job," said Stager. The comeback was attributed to the fact that the swimmers posted personal best times in ten of the thirteen events. They came up just short of a victory, however. The tankers will try to get back on the winning track against a fine Wisconsin team. Michigan hasn't enjoyed success against Wisconsin in recent years, but Stager feels that this year's team can turn it around. "We feel that this year we have a good opportunity to beat them, and we're going to go for this meet. It should be very interesting because Wisconsin is a tough team," he said. The men then play host to another Big Ten team Saturday afternoon, the University of Minnesota. Stager is con- fident of a team victory over Min- nesota, but he feels that his team will be tested in the sprint events. "Minnesota has perhaps the best sprinters in the conference," said Stager. "Art Griffith has placed first in the nation this year. He's a Big Ten' champion. The women's swim teaqm enters the weekend riding the crest of a 28-. straight dual meet winning streak andj 3-0 record on the year. After taking oA Wisconsin Friday night, the women swim against the Shroeder swim team on Saturday night in a home dual meet: All.home meets take place at Matt Mann Pool. Michigan's synchronized swim team, currently ranked second nationally; competed Saturday in the Bowling Green Invitational Tournament against' defending national champion Ohiq State, Bowling Green and Western. Michigan. There was a tight battle for first place between Ohio State and Michigan in which the Buckeyes pulled out a narrow victory in the final round of competition by a 43-38 count In the initial round of Novice corn- petition, Ohio State took a 13-12 lead over the Wolverines, as Westerns Michigan picked up the only three poinr ts of the meet that were not captured by, the two frontrunners. Michigan's novice effort was led by Jeanne Michaud's 23.75 for second place, Sue Cassidy in third with 23.392 and Kathy§ Purdy's seventh at 22.299. The senior competition sealed Michigan's fate, however, as the Buckeyes ran the final score up to Ohio. State 43, Michigan 38, Western Michigan 3 and Bowling Green 0. Ruth- Pickett's second place score of 44.6Q0. paced the Wolverines in the senior division with Sue Neu placing sixth at 43.333.
