Pageh Eight' THE MICHIGAN DAILY Friday, March 26, 1976 . .~ ..ig-.ht TE MIHGN AL IN THE BIG TEN Blue gymnasts defend title By SCOTT LEWIS Hoping to culminate another successful season in convincing style, Michigan's gymnastics team travels to East Lansing this weekend to defend their title in the Big Ten Champion- ships. All results from the dual meet portion of the schedule will be forgotten, and a team or individual's success depends solely on Friday and Saturday's performances.- With this in mind, the Blue tumblers have been practic- ing intensely all week, hop- ing that their peak perform- ances will come this weekend. "The guy s have been work- ing hard toward this weekend, and are anxious to get going," said Michigan coach Newt Lok- en. Now in his 29th year as head coach, Loken has guided the Wolverines to a 9-1 dual meet season. The only loss has come at the hands of top-rank- ed Indiana State. Michigan's hopes of sweeping past all the opposition without encountering much trouble similar to last year's trouncing, was severely thwarted as two of the top performers encoun- tered serious injuries. Last year's Big Ten all- around champion, Harley Dan- ner, reinjured his knee during . a CI rl . jj 1 i r 1 J I I Michigan's last dual meet of the season on March 6th, and he will be unable to perform. The injury had kept him out of some early-season contests, but he seemed to be performing one-: hundred per cent by the latter portion of the season. "He will be sorely missed," said Loken. "It will be ex- tremely difficulttto replace the points that Harley earned in last year'sdmeet,rbut every- Ibody's fired up for the meet and we'll just have to count on other people in Harley's events."

Co-captain Pierre Leclerc pulled a groin muscle in prac- tice Monday morning, but he should perform this weekend although he will be hampered on the floor exercise. Nevertheless, the Wolverines have four conference champion specialists returning from last year's Big Ten meet, and arej heavy favorites to repeat as champions. Chuck Stillerman (floor exer- cise), Bigras (vaulting), Leclerc (parallel bars), and Bob Dar- den (high bar) will provide Michigan with substantial strength in East Lansing. Michigan is very strong in ev- ery event, and it's not incon- ceivable that they could sweep the top three spots in any one of them.

When someone drinks too much and then drives, it's the silence that kills. Your silence. It kills your friends, your relatives, and peopleryou don't even know. But they're all people you could save. If you knew what to say, maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe fewer people would die. What you should say is, "I'll drive you home." Or, "Let me call a cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch tonight." Don't hesitate because your friend may have been drinking only beer. Beer and wine can be just as intoxicating as mixed drinks. And don't think that black coffee will make him sober. Black coffee never made anyone sober. Maybe it would keep him awake long enough to have an accident. But that's about all. The best way to prevent a drunk from becoming a dead drunk is to stop him from driving. Speak up. Don't let silence be the last sound he hears.
