s a Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, March 1, 1973 I FOUR-WAY FIGHT IN PURDUE Thinclads, chase By JEFF CHOWN If anyone wants to make a pre- diction on who will be the Big Ten indoor track champion this weekend they might as well start flipping coins. There seems to be no consensus among experts as to who will take home the laurels Saturday night in West Lafayette. Coach Dixon Farmer seems to rate Michigan State, the defend- ing champion, as the team to beat. Coach Samuel Bell of In- diana sees Wisconsin as the best bet. Wisconsin coach Bill Perrin feels Indiana has got the b e s t squad. Michigan State's F r a n Dittrick states outside his own squad he would pick Wisconsin. Finally, all agree the champion- ship trophy could possibly be in Ann Arbor Sunday morning. The Hoosier's mentor, Sam Bell, summed up the general feeling best: "I realy feel it will be a four team race between Wiscon- sin, MSU, Michigan and our- selves. The team that has the most individuals coming up to their potential will take it." From that point of view Mich- igan has a shot at the title be- cause they definitely have the po- tential. However, much of that potential is yet untested as Mich- igan has a very talented fresh- man squad this year. As coach KID Farmer puts it: "A lot of the story for us will be how the his freshmen react to pressure." ms Leading the frosh contingent ack is high jumper Mike Nowacki, the currently top-ranked jumper loop ( in the Big Ten with a 6-11 leap. Teammate Doug Gibs could be right behind him as he cleared 6-10 (unofficially) last week. Freshman Abe Butler is rank- ed third in the triple jump and seventh in the long jump, and will be counted on for some points. Terry Hart, with an out standing performance, could squeeze in in the pole vault. Besides these question marks, Michigan has some performers who have been outstanding in the past, and should be, counted bn Friday and Saturday. Steve Adams, although bothered by an arthritic finger, is ranked num- ber one in the shot put. How- ever, Minnesota's , defending champ, Colin Anderson, defeat- ed Adams earlier this season. Godfrey Murray is everybody's favorite in the high-hurdles. A high finish by teammate M e I Reeves would greatly help t h e cause. With the injury of Indiana's William Walace, the Wolverines' Kim Rowe is a good bet in the quarter mile. Greg Syphax and Marshall Dill of MSU are cur- rently ranked 1-2 for the fastest time in the 300-yard dash, al- though Dill is defending champ- ion. Eric Chapman, Bill Bolster, Rick Schott, and Al Cornwell will all have to place in the dis- tance races for Michigan to do anything. Although Michigan beat MSU in a dual meet, and the Spartans defeated Indiana the following week, it doesn't necessarily fol- low that Michigan will win ,the big one. To do well in the Big Ten Championships a team must have outstanding individuals, ra- ther than a host of people who can take second and third in a dual meet. State appears to have lust that in the personage of Marshall Dill, Bob Cassleman, Ken Pope- joy, Del Gregory and t h e i r v rown outstanding mile relay team. In the dual meet with Michigan, although losing, the fiesty farm- ers managed eight first places to Michigan's seven. Wisconsin isn't a pushover ei- ther. With the exception of the mile, the Badgers have some rat- ed at least third in every run- ning event from the 600-yard run on up. Glenn Herold and Dan Kowal are ranked 1-2 in the three mile, with Michigan's George Khouri fourth. In the field events Wisconsin has Patrick Onyango, the defending champion, in the triple jump and Jim Huff, a 6-11 high jumper. The Badgers have defeated Tennessee, the Southeast Coa.fer- ence champion, in a dual meet this year. Badgers Coach Per- rin comments "We have strong people who can place high in their events on a given day. Indiana has the power ind the depth. If they can put it to- gether, they can win. The Hoosiers' chances, h o w- ever, were severely damaged last week as first-ranked quarter- miler William Wallace and fourth- ranked pole-vaulter Dixon Boug- hman were both injured. Indiana still has Pat Mandera, the num- ber one ranked two-miler, a n d strong individuals in almost every event. To illustrate the closeness of the four teams, Indiana's Coach Bell made calculations of t h e probable finishes yesterday morn- ing and came out with Wiscon- sin wining the meet with Michi- gan State three points behind, Michigan third, six points off first, and Indiana fourth, n in e points off. Coach Farmer, commenting on Michigan's changes, concluded: "We'll be among the top four teams and there won't be many points separating us. Our chanc- es largely depend on how well we do in the field events."

Uaa narr.-+;l- 92-1 i12& Norm Cash inks Tiger pact; Behagen tabbed week's best By The Associated Press " LAKELAND, Fla. - Veteran first baseman Norm Cash signed his 1973 contract with the Detroit Tigers yesterday, receiving a report- ed slight raise from the $75,000 he earned last year. The 38-year-old Cash batted .259 with 22 home runs last year. Only two Tigers remained unsigned yesterday as Detroit entered its third day of spring training at Marchant Stadium with all but 12 players in camp. Second baseman John Knox and outfielder Gates Brown signed contracts Tuesday after brief sessions with General Manager Jim Campbell. That, along with Cash's signing, left catcher Duke Sims and pitcher Fred Scherman the only players unsigned. " CHICAGO - RON BEHAGEN, Minnesota's rebounding and scoring star, has been named the Big Ten basketball Player of the Week by the Associated Press. The 6-foot-10, 225-pound senior from New York City was a key figure in Minnesota's drb:z over the weekend towards what could be a second e+-aignt conference title. isehagen scored 25 points in a 94-70 victory over Northwestern Monday night. He really put on a show last Saturday in leading Min- nesota to a 98-80 triumph over Michigan. Against Michigan, Behagen scored 20 points and hauled down 16 rebounds to highlight Minnesota's brilliant display of "going to the boards" as Coach Bill Musselman puts it. In the Northwestern game, Behagen hit on seven of his first niae shots as the Gophers shot a remarkable 64 per cent to grab a 47-38 halftime lead and set the stage for an easy victory.
