Over the weekend, 132 paddleball enthusiasts converged on
East Lansing to fight for state paddleball honors. Michigan
graduates, faculty and undergrads competed and placed in the
various categories.
According to Michigan's Richard Pitcher, National Paddleball
Association President, "Michigan had a few people in the top
ranks. The tournament was held at Michigan State so not as
many people from around here competed as were eligible."
Chip Curtis made it to the men's singles finals but lost
21-16, 21-13 to the defending champion Dick Jury of Lansing.
In women's singles, Elyse Jacob finished fourth. She garnered
a third in doubles.
Placing ahead of Jacob in that last event, Barb Johnston and
defending co-champion Terry Davis took second place afterr
Connie and Carol Stewart.
In the consolation double finals, Pitcher and Ron Pudduck
pulled out a first.

THE FLAMES, CURRENTLY IN
FOURTH place in Division I with 61
points, need only four points to tie the
New York Islanders and move into third
spot and a play-off berth.
The St. Louis Blues in Division II and
the Toronto Maple Leafs in Division IV
hold commanding leads in third place, but
have point totals less than the Flames.
"We made the playoffs last year with
the same situation," Randy said, "Teams
in the other league had better records
than us.
In last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, At-
lanta lost in the first round to eventual
champion, the Philadelphia Flyers.
In a few years, Randy might have to
face the possibility of playing against his
brother who is protected by the NHL
California Seals, in addition to the WHA
Vancouver Blazers.
With such families as the Espositos, the
Howes and the Hulls making good in the
National Hockey League, perhaps a new
brother team, the Manery's, will enter
the hearts of NHL fans.

This week's "Wolverine of
the week" is Michigan gym-
nastics coach, Newt Loken.
Last Saturday, Loken won his
200th dual meet victory, as
Michigan wallopped defending
Big Ten champion Iowa, 215 to
205.
Loken attended Minnesota
during his college days, where
he first achieved stardom, as
a gymnast when he won back-
to-back Big Ten all-around titles
in 1941 and 1942.
Loken's regime as coach at
Michigan began in 1947, and he
has been at the helm since.
In that time, his teams have
come through with eleven Big
rTen titles, including six in a
row during the 1960's. Michi-
gan has also captured two
NCAA titles under Loken, those
occurring in 1963 and 1970.
This year Michigan's tumb-
lers have defeated their op-
ponents six times in seven dual
meets. They will try to recap-
ture the Big Ten champion-
ship when the other contenders
travel to Ann Arbor to com-
pete in the Big Tens on March
27-28.

I1
think.
By MARYBETH DILLON
Michigan's track program could not be rated much
above mediocre in recent years. This fall, however, a
change in this trend emerged as the Michigan harriers
brought home the Big Ten cross country championship.
This turn around could be attributed to two things.
One is the recruiting of top high school athletes by former
coach Dixon Farmer. The other is the advent of a young,
new coaching staff.
Jack Harvey took over the top spot when Farmer re-
signed last season after three improved but somewhat
disappointing years. Ron Warhurst signed on as assistant
this fall to fill the spot vacated by Harvey.
WARHURST HANDLES the distance men for the Wol-
verines. In his college career he ran on a two-time na-
tional championship cross country team at Western
Michigan. Last year he coached under Bob Parks at
Eastern Michigan, and knows the discipline required for a
winning track team.
"I'm kind of a dictator," says Warhurst, stressing his
philosophy of hard physical conditioning.
Like Warhurst, Harvey has an extensive track back-
ground. A 1967 Michigan graduate, he played football and
threw the shot, holding a Big Ten record in that event
for several years.
He then moved on to the University of Nevada, where
he attended grad school and began coaching. After a
year out west, he came back to Michigan and worked
as an assistant under Farmer.
BOTH COACHES have built up a rapport with the
team that is reflected in winning attitudes and winning
ways.
"They'd do anything to help anybody," said distance
runner Greg Meyer., "They're both really great guys, easy
to get along with, and are always available."
Shotputter George Przygodski agreed. "Harvey and
Warhurst both care about the individual, not just the
team."
With coaching, attitude, and talent on the rise, it looks
like Michigan track mediocrity is just a page of ancient
history.
