In what may prove to be "the greatest show on earth, according to Coach Newt Loken, the 6-0 Wolverines look to upset a Sycamore squad led by American Olympic teams qualifier, Kurt Thomas. "I think just the magnitude of the competition willt offer the stimulatipn needed to produce top perform. ances," stated Michigan's Bob Darden, defendiing Big Ten high bar champion. "I think we have all the makings to win this meet." The Wolverines' top score this season, a 207.5 against Minnesota January 23, has earned them as high as an eighth place national ranking. However, the Blue will probably have to exceed even that performance in order to best Indiana State which boasts the highest tally (214.15) in collegiate competition this year.; "We've 'been training really hard for this meet and it should be evident in the routines," stated co-captain Pierre Leclerc. "After a good showing this weekend we could easily be classified in the top three or four in the country." According to Loken, Michigan will need strong per formances from all-arounders Harley Danner, Pierre Le- clerc and freshman Nigel Rothwell, "to match the scores, of Indiana State's Thomas, Doug Griffith and Mike Papan- tonio. Thomas, currently ranked first nationally in the all-r around, won the bronze medal in the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City. Leclerc and Rothwell, meanwhile. are prospects for ther Canadian Olympic team and Danner is the defending Big Ten champion. The Wolverines are especially counting on Chuck Ven-' tura and co-captain Jerry Poyton on the pommel horse;J Joe Neuenswander and Scott Ponto on rings; and Careys Culbertson and Darden on high bar to hit on their routines and provide the edge against the Sycamores. Michigan will also need floor exercisers Randy Sakamoto and Chuck Stillerman, vaulters Darden and Sakamoto and parallel bar wizards Darden and Doug Shokes to turn in their usual outstanding performances. "Indiana State is a really good team as far as doing1 an excellent show with difficult routines," said Leclerc. "We'll really have to be consistent to beat them." In last year's meeting, the Sycamores downed Michigan 214.35-210.35 at Terre Haute." Ho-hum... Icers trip Denver By PAUL CAMPBELL Michigan overcame Denver's unique defense and a game tempo that bordered on the lethargic to best the Pioneers, 4-2, last night at Yost Ice Arena. 2-1 lead midway through the The Wolverines held a slim third period when Bill Wheeler took a perfect goal-mouth pass from fellow freshman Dan Cor- mier and whipped the puck through Denver goalie Ernie Glanville's legs. Wheeler, who had seen action in only half of Michigan's pre- vious 30 games, delighted the sparse crowd of 3,524 with a two-step victory dance. Less than a minute later, Denver forward Doug Berry took a high pass from the point and leisurely stuffed the puck past Michigan goalie Robbie Moore to pull the Pioneers with- in one. But Wolverine Kris Manery knocked in a rebound of a John McCahill shot with less than a minute remaining to put the game on ice.. Denver employed a 1-4 de- fense in their own zone, which slowed down Michigan's offen- sive play. However, the Pio- neers were also slow on their own offensive drives, a problem that has plagued them all year. "It was a weird game," com- mented Michigan coach Dan Farrell. "It was real slow. They (Denver) play a strange game. All year they have played this way-just hanging in there and not forcing the play."

MARK JOHNSON INJURED: Badgers trip matmen The victory boosted the Wol- verines to within two points of Michigan State, who was bomb- ed by lowly North Dakota 7-2 in East Lansing. The North Dakota win leaves them in sole possession of eighth place, dropping Denver back into ninth. By DENNIS BASHt A fired-up Oakland men's swim team invaded Matt Mann natatorium last night only to, be defeated 71-42 by a Michi- gan team comprised primarilyt of second and third stringers. Consistent Joe Bauer turned in the finest performance for the Wolverines, doubling in the 1000 yard freestyle and the 200 yard butterfly. His times were very respectable 9:48.74 and 1: 56.42. Also swimming well for Mich- igan were Dave Fernitz and, Pete "Sailfish" Maude. The! freshman duo grabbed first and second places in the 50 yard freestyle with a winning time. of :23.1.} Then there was Paul Fosterj who covered 200 yards on his s back in 1:57.45, besting his swiftest time of this year.

The Wolverines return to ac, tion today at 4 p.m. against Il- linois right here at Matt Mann Pool. By RICK BONINO The Michigan wrestling team managed a few surprises but also falterednunexpectedly in key matches en route to a 20-14 dual meet loss to Wisconsin, their fourth consecutive Big Ten defeat. Despite a handful of upsets. and near-upsets, a loss by Greg Haynes and a draw from injured Mark Johnson left the Wolver- ines with a final 6-4 conference record (15-6 overall) in their, last home meetofthe season. "The meet was decided at 118," said Michigan coach Bill Johannesen. "We knew we had to win there." An initially sluggish John- son wrestled much of the last period of his match senseless although conscious after a head injury, but hung on gamely for the tie.'

And once again the Pur- due Boilermakers are the top challengers. This season, though, another team has pushed its way into the limelight. The Michigan State Spartans have surprised most of the experts this year, and if they can surprise Mich- igan today at 3:05 in East Lans- ing, they will be only one game behind the Wolverines in the race for second. Michigan coach Johnny Orr is well aware of what a victory -or a loss-could do for his team. "This is the third straight U J,'.' ii ..;._ WHY WALK FARTHER I!

"It's a good thing for the team but tough at the same time. If we win there, they'll have six conference lossesand be out of it. But if they win, we're tied with Purdue, and State is only one game back." After the last meeting of the two teams, a strong Spartan performance will actually be anything but surprising. After several minutes of trading bas- kets, MSU broke out to a 15 point lead, and only a tre- mendous Michigan comeback allowed the Wolverines escape with a 66-63 verdict. State fields a line-up of Terry Furlow, a 6-5 senior and the Big Ten's leading scorer, and Edgar Wilson, a 6-5 junior, at the forwards. With 6-6 freshman and super rebounder Greg Kelser at center the Spartans present a talented, if small, front line. The Spartan guards are Bob Chapman, a 6-2 senior who is his team's second leading scorer, and Benny White, the 5-9 senior who burned Michigan with his outside shooting in the last intra-state contest.

In that game Britt, Mich- igan's senior captain, held his high school teammate Furlow, then and now the league's leading scorer, to a measly 13 points while scoring a game- high 18 himself. "Furlow is going to try to do' something different this time," predicted Britt. "He hasn't been able to play his game against me, and and he knows it. "No matter what Furlow tries to do, though, it's going to be a ragged game. The adrenaline will really be flowing for this one." Michigan guard Steve Grote agreed.
