I. Borus new st By Ffats Strops Without a doubt, the sports story ofrthe year is the pheno- menal rise of the new Daily senior editors. Tabbed by local scribes for an extensive rebuild- ing year following the demise of the scrappy "Borus Bunch," the new seniors have peeped through in championship style. "All the magazines had us picked eighth in the conference' expounded Sports E d i t o r and player - coach M a r c Feldman. "They said we'd only win four games. But we've got a great bunch of people and I feel we've done well." Feldman, founder of the city of Ann Arbor and an accounting major, has been the key to the Libels' success this season at the pivot. Equally adept at the typewriter and the hardcourt, he is considered by many to be the most valuable player on this team of high flying stars.

Rossiter, a marketing major from Hart, holds team records in both points scored and cans of Busch beer downed. Roger, used to clean Western Michigan air, has been coughing consistently since he arrived here 2 years ago. Swedo, a women's studies ma- jor from Whitehall, serves as the playmaker on the court.

The Wolverines meet Michigan State today for the fourth time. However, in this case, they're keeping score. The forecast is for a close con- test. Last year Michigan upset State at Yost Fieldhouse. But this meet is at Jenison and that really makes a difference to the Spar- tans. "It's gonna be close. We've got to rack up some points in1 field e v e n t s. The difference should be two or three points; If we do real well it will be ten," commented assistant track coach Jack Harvey. Against MSU last weekend, the Wolverines compiled a good set of stats. After two earlier attempts; this season, Michigan's Dave Wil- liams overpowered Spartan Big Ten champion Bob Cassleman in the 600-yd. run. Both men ran a slow 1:10.5. They'll try it again tonight. 19 STRAIGHT VIC Pitt r( By AL HRAPSKY Whatever a successful winningj basketball formula consists of, coach Buzz Ridl and his seventh ranked Pittsburgh Panthers seem to have put it together this year. Following an opening loss to West Virginia, the Panthers, with five returning starters from last year's squad which produced a dismal 12-14 record, have reeled off 19 straight victories. This stands as the longest winning streak in the nation after UCLA's string of 88 was broken by Notre Dame on Jan. 19. RIDL, IN HIS sixth year at Pittsburgh, an independent school, explained the transfor- mation which has catapulted his team to the upper rungs of the Associated Press national rank- ings. "It's kind of deceiving the way we've slipped in there butj it hasn't been a poor team that suddenly developed into a great one. We've improved four to five per cent in almost every phase of our game," he stated. ; One area where the coach sees marked improvement has been on defense. The Panthers seldom play one defense, shift- ing from a man-to-man to a zone, depending on their oppo- nent. Ridl attributed their suc-; cess to his defensive coach. ; "Defensively we've played very well and Fran Webster has done a real good job," he retorted. Ridl, in distinguishing thej Panthers astounding success thisI season, emphasized that last year's schedule was tougher and that the team had matured with ayear's experience under their belts. THE PITTSBURGH m e n t o r singled out the play of 6'6" Bill "Moony" Knight who leads the team in scoring with a 24 point average. In a 89-73 loss to UCLA at Pauley Pavillion last year, Knight fired in 37 points and, according to Ridl, was heralded by the press as "one of the most outstanding players to play thee? since Austin Carr." The Panthers matched the Bruins in field goals in that confrontation but were decisively outscored at the foul$ line. back and in second, got 6.0.

Knight and Martin average about 35 min- utes a game and the others about 20 minutes," he said. Martin suffered a leg injury last week but Ridl was confident that he would be back at full strength by the end of the week. AMONG THE teams that have fallen prey to the Panthers are Florida State 82-60, Penn State 83-61, Connecticut (who beat Syracuse) 83-63, Syracuse 71-56, and Davidson (who beat South Carolina) 71-56. Davidson was 0t handed its worst defeat in 154 years. Many of these teams havef shifted in and out of the nationall rankings and are usually promi-i nent basketball powers. With a 19-1 record, a nationalj ranking, and some impressivet victories over other strong oppo-f nents, Ridl stated, "I think thatc we are in contention for a berth in the NCAA tournament as an independent. However, we have six games left to play." The coach sees tough compe- tition from Temple, South Cara- lina, Pem State, and West Vir- ginia in the remaining part of the season. ated last year, Abe Butler has no competition in the triple and long jumps. Butler finished second last week in the triple with 48-8 al- though his season best is 49-1. State is trying to get freshman Grady Walker, a 6-7 high school jumper, eligible for tonight against Michigan's Jesse Myers and Will Saunders, both 6-6 jumpers. In the pole vault, Terry Hart and Ed Kulba have cleared 14-6 for Mich- igan. There's nothing short of ex'ite- ment left for the Michigan track team this season. They must only face MSU three more times in- doors andhtwo of the three times are at the Big Ten and NCAA championships.

Gal cagers improvig;, battle Jackson tonight By LESLIE RIESTER Michigan's women's varsity basketball team will try to even its season record, tonight by defeating Jackson Community Col- lege in Jackson. The young Wolverine squad finally gets a crack at someone its own age when it takes on the junior college hoopsters tonight. Michigan's varsity features four freshmen, three sophomores I and only two seniors. Despite Jackson's permanent age handicap, JCC has al- ways fielded good teams and the,-rivalry with Michigan is intense. Jackson showed the Wolverines that experience, not age, makes the difference as last year's fine crop of sophomores hand- ed Michigan two defeats. In addition to losing all of last year's starters, Jackson also lost coach Mary Nolan. JCC's rebuilding program hasn't been Sery successful and their record to date is 0-2. Michigan has been improving steadily as the team gains game experience. , The Wolverines are coming off a strong showing against third-ranked Western Michigan last week, and Michigan appeared confident during practices this week. "Our defense is very tough," claims senior Sheryl Szady, "and when you play as well as we did against a team like Western, it really picks up the team. "Jackson hasn't played well this year," continued Szady. "and we're confident we can beat them. The interesting game will he against Grand Valley."
