By DALE ARBOUR While most students take their spring break, the Michigan track squad will enjoy a trip to warm and sunny Madison, wvhere t h e Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships are being held March 5 and 6. The team to beat would appear to be host Wisconsin who has top- rank competitors in most every event. Teams which will be bat- tling to catch Wisconsin should include Indiana, Michigan, Michi- gan State, Ohio State, and Illi- nois. Competition between these teams should prove to be the clos- est battle in the Big Ten in years; however this close battle will prob- ably only be for the runnerup po- sition, since Wisconsin appears to have a clear advantage on first; place. What makes Wisconsin the lead- ing contender? For o n e reason, Wisconsin is the defending Big Ten Indoor Champion, and they would certainly not want to dis- appoint the partisan crowd that will be on hand that weekend. Mark Winzenried is another reason. So is Greg Johnson; and Don Vandrey, and Pat Onyango, etc. Winzenried is the prize middle distance runner who is best in the Big Ten in the 880-and 1000-yard runs, as well as among the top two or three in the mile. Vandrey is also a regular point-getter in the 880 and mile. Greg Johnson has regained his eligibility and is a top-flight long jumper and hurd- ler. Freshman Oynango is the best Big Ten triple jumper so far this season by over four feet. One could go on and on in ev- ery event and list a Wisconsin athlete among the top three. But this effort would begin to be rath- er repetitious. Among the other strong teams, Indiana is the 1970 outdoor cham- pion, but their indoor power isn't quite so great. They are except- ionally strong in the 60, 300, two- mile, and s h o t put, but other events are relatively weak. Michigan State is also excep- tionally strong in the 60 and hur- dle events as well as the 600 and mile relay. But they are extremely weak in the field events which limits their title chances. Illinois, Ohio State, and Michigan have more balanced attacks in many different events, although they are, not as potent in some as Michigan State and Indiana. Michigan has its b i g g e s t strength in the 70-yard high hur- dles w i t h Godfrey Murray the leading title contender. Michigan's field evert strength lies in high jumper John Mann, who was run- nerup last year in Big Ten indoor competition, and freshman Steve Adams who has already this sea- son defeated the one-two place finishers in last year's Big Ten meet. Larry Wolfe and Bob Mitchell could pose a threat in the pole vault if they fly as high as they did one year ago, something they haven't done so far this seascn. The distance a n d middle-dis- tance events will be well represent- ed with Phil Pyatt in the two-mile. Pyatt has the second fastest time in the Big Ten so far this season at 8:51.9. In the mile, Mike Pierce is a strong entry with a best of 4:08.9. The 1000-yard run will be represented by Rick Storrey who presently r a t e s among the top three in the Big Ten. The 880 will . have Eric Chapman, who i; among the current top five in the Big Ten. As a warm-up for the upcoming Big Ten meet, most of the Micihi- gan runners will be attending tie Western Michigan Invitational this Saturday in Kalamazoo, where only individual events will be run. -Associated Press "GULP!" could be what Detroit Red Wing coach Doug Barkley might say if he had seen St. Louis Blue's center Garry Unger (7) scoring on Pittsburgh Penguin goalie Les Binkley last night in a 5-5 tie between the two clubs. Unger was recently traded by De- troit to the Blues. I I BIG TENS NEXT Turnblers tackle MSU By BETSY MAHON -Associated Press JACK NICKLAUS blasts a ball out of a sand trap in yesterday's practice round for the PGA National Championships in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer are pre-tourney favorites for the prestegious championship. The tournament begins today. With the prospect of another un- defeated season looming before them the Wolverine gymnasts are preparing to take on their last dual meet competitors,, the G r e e n Meanies from East Lansing. Although they are not quite up to Michigan's level, the Spartans have several outstanding per- formers. They have two fine all- around men in Mickey Uram, who has scored in the 50's, and Randy Balhorn. Charlie Morse, one of the Spartan's outstanding athletes, has posted 9.3's and better on the side horse, parallel bars and rings. Morse, who was a polio victim as a child, won the NCAA title on the side horse last spring. The Spartans feature such tal- ented performers as Dave Ziegert in floor exercise, Fred Zafran in vaulting and floor exercise and Al Beaudet and Tom Coleman on the high bar. Michigan State has shown steady improvement since the start of the season and is now scoring at the 160 level which means that they should provide the Wolverines with some stiff competition. The following week-end the squad will travel to Columbus to partici- pate in the Big Ten Championships. Friday morning will feature the team compulsories with the team optionals being performed that night. On Saturday afternoon the top three teams will compete and in the evening, the individual finals will be held. The scores on the op- tionals and competitives on Friday will be combined and averaged and then added to the scores of the Saturday afternoon competition to determine the Big 10 Champion. That team along with the three top individualperformers in each event I will be invited to the NCAA finals .SEASON FINALE: Grapplers go against Gophers What in the hell is hyper-exten- sion of the knee? Well, what ever it is, it should make for a good match between Minnesota's Jim Axtell, 167 lb. Big Ten Champ in 1970, and Michigan's undefeated freshman Bob Huizenga in Mich- igan's last meet of the season. Hyper-extension of the knee has caused Axtell to miss some of the season and should even things up between the two wrestlers. Ax- tell alpng with the rest of the Gopher squad invade Crisier Arena this Saturday. The Gophers bring in a respect- able 9-8-1 record and Michigan's head coach Rick Bay feels t h a t they are a good team. But Bay is confident that his team will win as long as they wrestle as well as they have in the past. Minnesota has been plagued by injuries so far this year. At one meet this season, seven out of their ten wrestlers were fresh- men.

NHL New York 4, Philadelphia 2 St. Louis 5, Pittsburgh 5 Los Angeles at Minnesota, Inc. Montreal at California, inc. But the Wolverines also will have their sh are of problems in the upcoming meet. They will not; have the services of 1970 Big Ten Champ Tim Cech, and 158-pound- er Mitch Mendrygal will be side- lines with an. ankle injury. The loss of Mendrygal h a s caused Bay to do some shifting in his lineup. Bay will probably move Tom Quinn from his 177-pound class down to the 158-pound class, and fill Quinn's spot with a third wrestler. Cech apparently h a s quit the squad. According to Bay, there are only two weight classes which he is worried about. The classes are 134-pounds and 167-pounds. Michigan's 134-pounder, R i c k Neff, will square off against Min- nesota's Reil Lamphere who was the Big Ten runner-up in his weight class last year. If Michigan defeats Minnesota this Saturday, they will end up with a 8-2-2 overall record. Comm enting on the upcoming NCAA Wrestling Championships, Bay is optimistic about several of his wrestlers making the finals. But in order to gain entry to the finals, a wrestler must qualify by placing in the top five in the NCAA districts. The Wolverines will have to travel to De Kalb, Illinois for districts which will be held weekend of March 13. the the to be held in Ann Arbor on April Liehr who managed a 9 0 on the 1-3. side horse.
