Saving the best for last, Mich-
igan's high - flying gymnastics'
team squares off against de-
fending Big Ten champion Iowa
tomorrow in their last home
dual meet this season.

longer than Loken. siastic Wolverine mentor won

and ca pttured two NCAA
ch-'mpionshins.
But the possibility of earning,
his 200th coreer victory
seem to change Loken's atti-
tude about the upcoming meet.
"It's just another meet for
us," Loken insists. "Our com-
petition is geared for week af-
ter week and we're taking this
meet exactly like that."
But pommel horse specialist
Rupert Hansen conveys the spe-.
cial sense of excitement for
the meet with Iowa. "We're
really firing up for this one,"
Hansen said. "We've all been
looking forward to the 200th and
we want to do the job for
Newt."
The Hawkeyes' record cur-
rently stands at 3-2, with the

Or
losses coming against 1dortnern
llinois and Indiana State ea:ly
in the se son.
Lately however, Iowa has
shown signs of returning to
the form which gave them a
Big Ten championship. The
Hawkeyes scored 207.8 against
the Minnesota Gophers in a
dual meet last weekend.
"We're improving," said Iowa
assistant coach Neil 3chml.t,
"and we expect this weekend's
meet to be tough and close all
the way."
"I expect both teams to he
r a t h e r consistent," Schmitt
added. "I think the pace of the
meet will be decided after the
second event. After that it'll be
edging back and forth the rest
of the way."
Loken agrees. "It'll be one
heckuva meet. It might be our
toughest meet of the year and
we're treating it like it is.'
The Wolverine mentor indi-
cated that Michigan's lineup will
basically stay the same. Co-
captain Bruce Keeshin, fresh-
man Harley Danner and senior

owa
Bruce Medd compete in the all-
around against the tough Hawk-
eye duo of Tom Steans and !ill
Mason. Both scored over 50
points in the all-around several
times this year.
The key match-up is in the
pommel horse - the Achilles
heel of most gymnastic teams.
The Michigan team is led by
nine-plus performers Jerry
Poynton and Rupert Hansen
while Iowa's top-notch per-
f o r m e r Dave Sieminowski
paces them.
Another key event is the floor
exercise where Iowa's defend-
ing Big Ten champion Dave
May squares off against Mich-
igan's Chuck Stillerman and
Randy Sakamoto.
With the Iowa-Michigan meet
being the final home showing
for the Wolverines before the
Big Tens, special recogmition
will be given to senior co-cap-
tains Bruce Keeshin and Carey
Culbertson, Bruce Medd, Jean
Gagnon, Rupert Hansen, and
Bob Johnson.

MICHIGAN GYMNAST BRUCE Medd moves into an "L"
on the parallel bars, during last year's dual meet with Penn
State. Medd will compete in the all-around as the Blue
tumblers take on defending Big Ten champioon Iowa, Sat-
urday afternoon. The Wolverines will have an added in-
spiration going for them as coach Newt Loken guns for his
200th victory.

Sports of The Daily
Matmen tussle with Toledo
This afternoon Michigan's matmen face Toledo in a meet
that Michigan considers little more than a tune up for the Big
Ten Championships next weekend at Ohio State. The Wolverines
wrestle without some key men, however, and the meet could
end closer than some would predict.
Ed Neiswender sits out this week in order to give his
injured shoulder a chance to recover. Brad McCrory and
Bill Schuck are also questionable starters as both suffered
from a virus this week.
Substituting for McCrory at 142, Rich Valley faces freshman
Brad Smith, a two time state of Michigan champion. Karl Briggs
replaces Schuck at 150.
Those who usually wrestle under 167 pounds for Michigan
move up one class today to compensate for Neiswender's ab-
sence. Therefore, they can concentrate on wrestling, and not
weight-cutting, and prepare themselves for the championships
next weekend.
Freshman Todd Schneider meets Myron Shapiro in the
118-pound division. This could be a tough match as Shapiro
is a leading contender for the college division national
championship in this class.
Rich Lubell, champion of the week for his outstanding per-
formance against Wisconsin last Friday, takes on Phil Kehn
at 134.

Michigan bags gridiron gold
Wednesday was national letter day for high school football
players, and already Bo Schembechler has signed four Michigan
all-Staters. Choosing to enroll in the fall are quarterback Rick
Leach and end Gene Johnson, both of Flint Southwestern, run-
ning back Harlan Huckleby of Detroit Cass Tech, and guard
Mark Torzy of Detroit De La Salle.
Considered to be one of the best quarterbacks Michigan
high school football ever produced, Leach fills a desperate
need on the Michigan roster.
Johnson, a tight end, was Leach's primary target. A ver-
satile sportsman, he has been called "the best athlete to come
out of the Flint area since Brad Van Pelt."
Huckleby, a scatback in the Gordie Bell mold, chose Mich-
igan over Southern Cal. Torzy, a 225 pounder, was the Detroit
Catholic League's top lineman last season.
