By DALE ARBOUR
After a fine start last weekend,
the track team will encounter its
first dual meet opponent, Indiana,
this afternoon in Ann Arbor. A
tougher opponent in the Big Ten
could not be found, since Indiana'
is the defending outdoor confer-
ence champions, and has most of
its team back this season.
To sum up the forthcoming bat-
tle, Michigan has shown g r e a t
depth in m o s t of the running
events, while Indiana is very
strong in about one-half of the
events and relatively weak in the
others.
As Coach Dave Martin sees this
meet, "It will be a real even meet.
If Michigan is to win, we will have
to come through in our strong
events, and fight on an even basis
in the other events."
Michigan looks strongest in the
hurdle events, both high and low
heights. Godfrey Murray tied the
Yost Fieldhouse record in the 70-
yard high hurdles with a time of
:08.4 at the Michigan Relays last
weekend. However, he was later
upset by h i s freshman running
mate, Mel Reeves, in t h e final
heat of that event to culminate a
1-2 finish for Michigan.
But Indiana offsets this Michi-
gan strength in the 60-yard and
300-yard d a s h e s, where its
strength a n d depth abounds.
Michigan's Gene Brown (:06.2)
will attempt to hold off a barrage
of three Indiana sprinters who
have all recorded times of :06.1 so
far this season, Larry Highbaugh,
Mike Goodrich, and Mike Miller.
Freshman Steve Adams of Mich-
igan will have his hands full in
the shot put when he goes against
him, he was forced to take many into a fast, strong and good shoot-
shots from no closer than 25 feet ing ball club with a record to prove
out. However the super-soph was it. Says Wildcat Coach Snyder,
still able to lead the Wolverines| "They're look like they're going to
with 25 points. win it all."

this season of 6-10 and 6-8. The 6-10
jumper is freshman Dennis Adama,1
who was one of Indiana's top re-
cruits this past year from Neway-
go, Michigan.

att has recorded one of the top,
collegiate times in the naion soJ
excellent scores of 163.15 agpinst
Iowa and 163.85 against Indianaj
State for their best showings of thet
year.r
The Wolverines are out to prove
that their past two performances
were no flukes. At the same time
the Gophers who have pushing i
the 160 point mark all season, are
hoping to land on that plateau
against the Wolverines. The Go-
phers also have the home advan-
tage as the meet will be held in
front of their partisan Minnesotat
fans.

The Gophers have three strong
all around men and the meet could
come down to a battle between the
all arounders. Each of the Gopher
all arounders is capable of scoring
close to fifty points in a meet.
Michigan's all around team, an
unknown quantity at the beginning
if the season, came into its own
during the triangular meet. Co-
captain Rick McCurdy led all nine
men with a total of 54.1. Ray Gura
came in second with 53.55 points
while Ted Marti posted a score of
0.9. Coach Newt Loken was "de-
ighted" with these scores and feel
hat they gave his men much need-
ed confidence.
6~t
Despite their victories last week,
Loken and the gymnasts feel that
there are still "plenty of places
where we can improve." They are
hopeful of staying within the 163
point range and if possible moving
above it. Both Dick Kaziny and
Mike Gluck have been working on
more difficult routines but the ma-
jority of other team members are
striving to improve their existing
routines rather than risking new
ones.
The parallel bar event, which
was considered the squad's weak-
est at the beginning of the season,
is gradually coming into its own.
Freshman Bob Johnson led all
competitors with a 9.15 score while
teammate Murray Plotkin tied for
second with a 9.0 last week. Loken
also found the vaulting event
"pleasantly good" as Rick McCur-
dy managed a 9.3. Ed Howard fin-
ished the meet with a flourish for
the Wolverines as he posted a high
score of 9.4 on the high bar.
The Wolverines will have to con-
sistently score well in all events
as they face stronger competition
later in the season. In coming
weeks they will compete against
Illinois and Indiana on the road
and Ohio State and Michigan State
at home before they enter the Big
Ten Championships on March 5
and 6. The winner of this meet and
the top competitors in each event
will be eligible to compete in the
NCAA Championships to be held
in Ann Arbor April 1-3.
