Last Tuesday, Purdue employed a 3-2 zone defense that nearly stymied the Michigan attack. Wildcat scouts were in the standsa during the game and the odds areI that they will try something sim- ilar in an attempt to slow down the Wolverine's starting five of Wilmore, Ken Brady, Dan F i f e, Wayne Grabiec and Rodney Ford. Wilnore, the fabulous 6-foot- 31/2 inch forward from New York' City, was limited to just 14 shots{ against Northwestern in the game, on January 23. Because the Wild- cat defense especially keyed on If the Wildcats do succeed in con- taining Wilmore they still have to contend with the likes of Brady, Fife, Grabiec and Ford. Brady is leading the team in number of rebounds per game with 9.9 and his shooting, which was a big question mark early in the season, is on a steady incline with a present average of 11.5 points per game. Fife, Grabiec and Ford are continuing to have fine seasons. Their averages going into today's game are: 13.6, 12.3 and 11.7 re- spectively. Today's game figures to be a one sided battle. Northwestern, just does not have the needed talent to outlast the Wolverine squad in Big Ten play. Michigan has developed 4 Ken Brad Fj bound averages of 52 to 47.9; total points scored of 1309 to 1232 and' average points per game of 87.1 to 82.1. These credentials combin- ed with Michigan's few number ofj turnovers, 278, make the Wolver- ines a very hard team to beat. Northwestern will have an in- jury free squad on the court to- day. To battle Henry Wilmore and company, Coach Snyder plans to send out Barry Hentz, a 6-8 center, 6-5 forwards Barry Moranf -Daily-Denny Gainer and Rick Sund, and guards Mark ly (15) /th its for two Sibley and Ron Shoger.

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.

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. !u d c c 51 ti e 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.
