rhursdoy, January 13, 1977 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Sev( INDIVIDUAL STARS LEAD TEAM inclads seek track crowns By ERNIE DUNBAR 1 Michigan track opponents be- ware - the Wolverines aret ready to start winning cham- pionships again!+ The 1976 season proved to be one of the most successful in Michigan track history, as the' Rthinclads captured thme Big Ten and Central Collegiate confer- ence championships both in- doors and outdoors. Add to that cross country titles in the same two conferences and you have a powerful midwestern track team. One of the best thines about 'the "double triple crown" is that it was accom- plished with young talent. On- ly two runners that scored points in either of the championship meets are gone from the '76 squad. Taking an overall look at the 1977 team, only two major, weaknesses surface. Both the triple jump and the 600 yard run are areas that will cause have anybody to run. If we run somebody it would be a quarter - mil r (McLeod) go- ing up or a half-miler (Furst) coding down," said Harvey. These two weak spots shouldn't cause too many problems for the Wolveri'es, since every other event is two and three deep in high grade talent. The ticket office has hockey ti 'kets on sale for all re- m -Iing home games. Ticket manager Al Renfrew said that tickets usually are not sold until the day of the gam but due to the success of this year's team the ticket department wants to make sure that students get the first chance at obtaining tick- ets. The ticket office is openj from 8:30 to 5:00, daily. V; will, be Big Ten champion Furst in the half mile, title contender Andy Johnson in the 1000 yard run, and Jim Baumgartner and Mark Fos- ter in either the 1000 or the half mile. Michigan's other powerful area on the track will be in the hurdles and sprints. Sophomore transfer Dwight Jones turned some heads at the team's intrasquad meet in De- cember by flashing to a time of 6.1 in the 60 yard dash. "I think Dwight has proved that he can step right in and run with the best of them," said Harvey. We look for him and Doug Hennigar (second In the Big Ten in both the 60 and 300 yard dashes) to be defi- nite factors in the Big Ten meet. Besides Jones, Michigan has lennigar and hurdler sprint- er Arnett Chisholm in the 60. Both Jones and Hennigar will compete in the 300 yard dash, while Chisholm returns to his best event, the 70 yard high hurdles. Chisholm will be joined by sophomores Charles Crouth- er and Don Wheeler plus freshman Gary Hicks in the hurdles to give Michigan one of the most powerful shuttle hurdle relay teams in the I country. The 440 yard dash will also1 be astrong event for the thin- clads. Senior co - captain Mc- Leod will head the list of speedy quarter - milers. Mc- Leod was a member of the mile relay unit that took third in the 1976 indoor meet.. Bolster- ing the 440 crew will be junior James Grace. Football tailback Harlan Hckleby will be returning to run on the mile relays and quarter-mile, where he placed second in the Big Ten indoor meet as a freshman. Huckleby again looks like the class of is expected to return to track( the conference.

GRAPPLER SQ UA D UNDEFEATED Grappler subs spur s By PATRICK RODE his first starting opportunity by t winner will wrestle one of the Moving into its Big Ten sched- ule this week, the Michigan wrestling team, sporting a 3-0 dual meet record, is startingj 1977 in a strong position. An important factor in - its strong start this season has been the willing and able pegk- formance of substitutes off the bench turning in needed match victories. Subs, while playing an im portant role in practice, often do not appear in the limelight of meet action. "IT'S HARD FOR freshmen to break into our tough line- up," Michigan coach Bill Johan- nesen said of newcomers to the team. "These are fellows' we recruit heavily and we hope they figure in our future." Occasionally second-stringers get a chance to make their mark. Such a case is this week's team Champ of the Week, sen- ior George Kelley. Overshadowed by Brad Hol- man at 158 pounds up to this taking an 8-3 decision over SIU's Paul Hibbs. ANOTHER FRESHMAN, Steve Fraser, who wrestles at 177 be- hind team captain Mark John- son, looks to be one of Johan- nesen's better prospects. "We were glad we could use Joseph," remarked Johannesen "Both he and Fraser lost tough first matches in the Midlands Tournament but went on to per-. form well." Johannesen also has some- thing in store at heavyweight. "We'll use ex-footballers Bob Taylor or Lewis Smith at hea- vyweight. They'll have a chal- lenge match this week and the imatches this. Saturday," the coach said. "We expect Taylor to do a lot, he has great po- iential." CHALLENGE MATCHES play an integral part of the wrest- ler's life. Based on their per- formance in practice a ladder is set up naming the first, sec- ond, third-stringers and so on. To advance, a wrestler must defeat the wrestler above him. To get into the starting lineup, he must tally two such victor- ies. Other wrestlers who stand a good chance of playing import- ant roles in the future include Greg Lavery (a walk on), Rick' trouble for coach Jack Har- Probably the events that vey. have the greatest amount of Trying to fill the gaps in potential talent are the dis- those two areas will be junio s tance events.
