Teoledo in By JON CHAVEZ "We wrestled like I would expect, not too enthusiastic," commented Michigan wrestling coach Bill Johannesen after yesterday's meet with the Toledo Rockets. The Rockets were lucky the Wolverines weren't fired up or the margin might have been much more than the final 32-8 score. The meet, intended as a tuneup for next week's Big Ten Championships, did not fea- ture' Michigan's usual lineup and many thought the Rockets would stay close. "This meet is just to keep their competitive edge up," explained Johannesen, who let many wrestlers go at higher weights to keep them from cutting pounds and weakening themselves. But if the meet should have been close, it wasn't. Great individual efforts from seniors Dave Curby and Jim Brown dashed whatever hopes Toledo may have had. In their final home appearances, both grapplers registered pins, with Curby's staking the Maize and Blue to an insurmountable 26-8 lead. Yesterday also marked the final home ap- pearance for Wolverines Dan Brink and John King, who drew 1-1 and won 7-5 respectively. Key grapplers Bill Schuck at 142 and Brad McCrory at 134, both out with the flu, will also graduate. At the onset, Toledo, coached by Harry Bowles, took an early lead when the Rocket's superb 118 pounder, Myron Shapiro, decisioned Michigan's Todd Schneider, 7-3. Then Brown, the senior from Akron, Ohio, took charge of Mark McGuire and pinned him at 3:47 of their 126-lb. match. "I'm glad to see Brown going for those falls," assured a happy Johannesen. 'M' thn clcii ien lasi t From that point on, it was all Maize and Blue. The best Toledo could manage was a draw at 167 and a win at 142, where Michi- gan's Rich Valley, subbing for Schuck, lost to Brad Smith, 7-4. For Curby, the team captain and defending Big Ten champ at 190 pounds, the pin couldn't have come at a better time. It was his first fall of the season and, as Johannesen put it aptly, "that's what Curby needs, a good solida ego builder." HeavyweightwMitchMarsicano's pin probably didn't hurt the big Wolverine's ego either. After a disappointing performance last week against Wisconsin, the victory may put him back on{ the winning track in time for the champion- shins at Ohio State... Johannesen, expressing some optimism re-t garding the Feb. 28-Mar. 1 affair, stated flatly,T "I think we have a good chance of winning if Iowa stumbles somewhere." In an effort to score more points, Johanne- sen is exnected to move Dan Brink down to 1581 noinds and Mark Johnson to 167 for the Bigf Ten meet.c Stndout Wolverine, Ed Neiswender, stillt -,,f-rin from a shoulder senaration suffered f-r v-ks ago, may not wrestle in the chain- ninn'hin5. i8--Mvron Shapiro (T) dec.

Most of the tracksters are in their best shape of the season,' and several Wolverine stars are very close to meet perform- ances that would qualify them for the NCAA meet at Cobo Hall March 14-15. THE COMPETITION will be top-notch, which should aid the eight Wolverines that are close to NCAA-class times. Two of the Midwest's top track powers, Southern Illinois and Eastern Michigan, will be in Kalamazoo along with host Western Michigan, Penn State, Kent State, Bowling Green, Toledo and others. The only individual Wolverine that has officially qualified thus far is speedster Dave Williams, who is assured of a spot in the 440 and 600 yard runs. The Michigan mile relay team also has clinched a spot, therefore in addition to Williams, Jeff McLeod, Dave Furst and Doug Hennigar will be at Cobo. There is a possibility that freshman James Grace may supplant Furst or Hennigar on the unit sometime before the' meet. far is 48'3", and he'll have to improve another 21 inches in Faced with this win-or-fade proposition, Michigan can ill afford to be torpedoed this weekend in either Evanston or Madison. Saturday, the cagers con- front the Wildcats, who would be tied with Wisconsin for last place had they not emerged as fourteen-point victors over of the scoring when the Wild- cats manage to bring the ball to the other team's end of the court. Center James Wallace has not received rave reviews thus far and Northwestern has tried a variety of bodies at the second forward and guard spots without great success.
