GOOD OMEN FOR BIG TENS: Blue cinde By JAMIE TURNER YPSILANTI - If happiness is win- ning track meets even though your squad is weakened by injury and ill- ness, coach Jack Harvey must be satis- fied with his team's performance in the Central Collegiate Conference Indoor Track Championships held here the past two days. With a number of his best athletes stricken with the flu bug and distance runner Mike McGuire still out with a stress fracture, Michigan nevertheless was able to outpoint the host Eastern Michigan team 132 to 112.5. "It was nice to win this," said Harvey afterwards, "but the Big Ten Meet in two weeks is really our big meet. We've got a lot of work to do, but there were some good performances." The Wolverines showed all-around strength throughout the meet, and were particularly solid in the field events, where they placed first in both the-long jump and pole vault and grabbed third in the shot put. "(Jim)tStokes did real well (in the pole vault) and (James) Henry did an rmen cop excellent job in the long jump," stated Harvey. "It was a difficult place to jump (for Henry) due to the shortness of the track and the condition." Henry easily passed the rest of the competition with a jump of 24-5%, almost two feet better than the runner- up. Stokes meanwhile, set the only meet record with an effort of 16-7. Randy Foss finished third in the shot, losing to the eventual Most Valuable field per- former, Bruno Pualetto of Central Michigan. The biggest problem for the Wolverines during the meet was incon- sistent showings in the middle distance races. Expected to clean up in the mile, 440, 880, one and two mile relays, the best Michigan could do was Tim Thomas' second in the 880. CCC crown "We need a lot of work in the middle distances," said Harvey, but we've got two weeks and we should improve." Arnett Chisholm won an exciting 60 yard high hurdles by one tenth of a second over Kevin Jackson of Eastern in a time of 7.3. The closeness of the race was testified to by the fact that the eight finalists were separated by a margin of only four tenths of a second. The other Michigan winner was Bill Donakowski, who came back from a disappointing fourth in the mile to win the two-mile run in a time of 8:53.35. Harvey was voted coach of the meet for his efforts. He now comes back to Ann Arbor to prepare to host the Michigan Invitational next weekend before he takes his charges to the Big Ten meet in West Lafayette. Ole!

The Wolverine tankers will now have two weeks to gear up to the Big Ten's to be held at Illinois. Although Indiana is the probable winner, the race for second place will be nip and tuck. Among those that Michigan must con- tend with is Wisconsin, who earlier this season beat Michigan by one point. "It's going to be a very close race for second place this year. Michigan will be pursuing Wisconsin all the way," said Spartan coach Fetters.
