The 500 yard freesty.e was an
event that Michigan had es-
pected to do well in and it was
crucial that they take a first
and second in it. The Wolver-
ines' top man in this category,
Gord Downie, gamoled in his
strategy and lost a heart break-
er to Wisconsin's Jeff Evans
after making a gallant charge
for first.
"I CHOSE the far lane be-

The Wolverine's, however,
were not dead yet. Following
Pat Bauer's victory in the
breaststroke, they were only
a down by five, 58-53, heading into
the last event of the night, the
- 400 yard freestyle relay. Wis-
consin dashed the Wolverines
hopes for a last second victory
by winning in a time of 3:12.1.

A WEEK AGO, ten Spartan
players - all black - walked
out of a team meeting because
of a disagreement with Coach
Gus Ganakas. Ganakas had an-
nounced that he planned to start
6-7 freshman Jeff Tropf at for-
ward against Indiana.
Several Spartans, including
star center Lindsay Hairston,
maintained that Tropf would not
be able to contain Indiana
star Steve Green, and said sen-
ior Tom McGill would be a bet-
ter choice.

Hairston may be enough of
an individual talent to keep the
Spartans in most of their games
this year. The 6-7 center led
the Big Ten in rebounding last
year and was a consensus
choice as the all-Big Ten center.

Co-captain Bruce Keeshin
of Michigan highlighted this
first night of the two day
tournament as he assumed
first place in the all-around
competition going into today's
finals.
Keeshio, finishing with 46.45'

Ray Gura, a former Wolverine
gymnast, who entered as an in-

ished with 44.40 points.
Rounding out the top five in
the all-around, Chuck Ewing of
Ohio State finished third with
33.20 points, followed by Jeff
Rudolph of Michigan State with
31.60 points and Dave Frigstad
of Indiana with 30.85 points.
Michigan coach Newt Loken
praised the performance. "I'm
real proud of Keeshin. He
was just tremendous," Loken
enthused.
In the floor exercises, Indiana
captured three of the top five
places with Steve Grogg hold-
ing first place. Keeshin present-
ly occupies fourth place.
Rupert Hansen of Michigan
had the top performance in the
pommel horse and Charles Ven-
tura, also of Michigan, placed
third. B o t h received much
praise from Loken for their per-
formances.
In the rings, Scott Ponto of
Michigan finished in second
place behind Jack Malmedahl
of Indiana. "Ponto was su-
perb in swinging into second
place," said the Michigan
coach.
Harley Danner and Kurt Gol-
den, both from Michigan, tied
for fifth in the rings.
