That team is Ohio State, and the Michigan tumblers should, if all goes well, be able to give their school a 2-1badvantage ov- er the Buckeyes in all athletic events so far this year. *The squads pair off at 1:30 Saturday in Crisler Arena in a meet that will provide a person- al challenge to at least three Wolverines. Mike Sale, who turned in a 9.45 on the rings last week against Minnesota and Ed Howard and Jim Scully, who turned in 9.5 and 9.4 high bar scores against the Gophers, will all be coming off career highs. The entire team, for that mat- ter, will be shooting to top last week's season high team score, an astronomical 164.05, which averaged out to over 9.1 for each of the three top finishers in each event. They'll be making the attempt against a team led by .all- arounder Reed Klein, w h o is capable of scoring above 50 in the six events.

Mike Kniffen, swinging on the rings, Steve Meyer vaulting the long horse, and Jerry Sowards, leading the Buckeyes on t h e high bar are other Ohio State standouts. Coach Newt Loken will fill his lineup with as many as six or seven men in each event, al- though they won't all be com- peting. Mike Fanshel on the side horse and Skip Frowick on the rings, who have seen little ac- tionin competition thus far this season, will face a home au- dience for the first time tomor- row. The Wolverines' three all- around team of Rick McCurdy, Ted Marti, and Ray Gura, will be in high gear as usual; their monopoly on versatility, will be threatened, though, not only by Ohio State, b u t by a special performer - Cherry Almy, one of the Midwest's to p women gymnasts and a probable Olym- pic contender. The Charlotte, Michigan gym- natrix will exhibit her own skills during the meet, un- doubtedly providing a different perspective on the pleasures of gymnastic spectating. In addition to the distaff par- ticipation, tomorrow's meet will include an informal competition displaying Olympic compulsory routines, ones which a r e not part of any regular Michigan meets this year, but which will be required during the Big Ten championships next month. Loken expressed the hope that besides giving the gymnasts some valuable specialized exper- ience, the routines would pro- vide the audience with a differ- ent view of Michigan gymnastic competition -- one that is Olympic in f o r m as well as "Olympic" in quality. By BILL ALTERMAN Michigan's icers. already as- sured of a losing WCHA season, will attempt to get back on the winning track tonight when they take on the partially defanged Wisconsin Badgers. Wisconsin will be doing with- out the services of Murray Heat- ley, their leading scorer,. wbo completed his eligibility last week. Unhappily, however, even without Heatley, the Badgers will prove to be formidable opponents tonight and tomorrow in Madison. According to Wolverine coach Al Renfrew, Wisconsin "works hard, skates hard, they forecheck well and they're on you all the time." In their previous meeting in Ann Arbor the two teams split, Michigan winning the first game, 5-4, in overtime, and Wisconsin coming back the next night, 5-3. With only six games left in the r e g u 1 a r season, Michigan's chances of making the playoffs appear dim. With a 4-12 confer- ence mark, the Wolverines are two games behind Minnesota. Minnesota and Michigan will collide head on in Minneapolis for two games in the next-to-last week of the season. In case of a -Daily-Terry McCarthy WOLVERINE GYMNAST Murray Plotkin runs through his parallel bar routine during the Iowa-Indiana State meet. A senior, Plotkin, the team's number one parallel bar specialist, turned in a performance good enough for a second-place finish. tie, the team with the best goals- for against goals-against percent- age will advance to the playoffs. Following last week's double loss to Michigan Tech, Renfrew reworked his lines in practice. Tonight's action will find Bernie Gagnon on the ice with Rick Malette and freshman Julian Nixon. Meanwhile Mike Jarry will move back on defense and Renfrew will be shifting five de- fensemen around in an attempt to give goalie Karl Bagnell more help. Bagnell will play both nights while Bill Busch will re- main on the bench. As for the line changes Ren- frew says simply, "We'll try and see if something else would work better." Even with the loss of Heatley, however, R e n f r e w admits "they've got enough (good play- ers) not to have to worry about it." The Badgers have been rotat- ing several men in the net with John Anderson their most con- sistent performer. Anderson has a sparkling 2.56 goals allowed per game average. Freshman Jim MaKey has also seen ex- tensive action in the net. The defense, led by all-Ameri- can John Jagger gives the net- minders plenty of help. Up on the front line Jim Boyd will be giving the Wolverines trouble along with center Jim Young, sophomore winger Norm Cherrey and freshman surprise Gary Winchester. With Michigan inhabiting the cellar, it comes as no shock that Renfrew feels the year has been "disappointing." He adds that it is "unfortunate, they (the team) have worked so hard and just haven't had a good year." With five of their last six games on the road, Michigan is going to have to completely re- verse its ice fortunes if it wants to make it to the playoffs. And it will take at least a split this weekend for the floundering Wol- verines to remain above water. square toe and western heel DODGERS FOR SALE!?
