Men gymnasts hope, to chop Sycamores By GEOFFREY LARCOM Michigan's men gymnasts might be tempted to look ahead to the upcoming Big Ten meet while competing tonight at Terre Haute, Indiana. But they won't. Not when its opponent is Indiana State, who is currently rated number two in the nation, and has also posted scores of 217.8 and 214.5 this year. "The timing for this meet is perfect," beamed Wolverine Coach Newt Loken. "A powerhouse like Indiana State will serve - as excellent preparation for the Big Ten Meet." "We won't be intimidated though," warned Loken. "We're healthy overall and after an unimpressive start, the team is coming together. We expect to score over 210 tonight," he added. Olympian Kurt Thomas leads the Sycamores in the all- around competition, scoring an average of 9.35 in each event. "Watch the lineup between our Nigel Rothwell and Thomas," advised Loken. "Nigel loves competition, especially when its against the best." "No doubt about it," Rothwell agreed. "A guy like Thomas stimulates you. He makes you reach for that little extra in the routines." Along with Thomas, ISU boasts 9.6 scorer Ron Breines in the floor exercise in addition to Ed Paul and Jack Fis-I cher, who've reached 9.3 in the pommel horse and rings re- spectively. Paul faces a strong' dual challenge from Michigan sen- ior Chuck Ventura and sophomore Brian Carey. Carey is rated number ten in the country in pommel horse. I 11 TO 5 SERVICE MON. THRU SAT. 1040 W.
