SPORTS Page 8 Friday, March 13, 1981 The Michign Daily Cagers advance in NIT Host Toledo Sunday (Continued from Page 1) Mention All-American guard Ronnie Dixon was held to 11 points, six below his average. AS FRIEDER expected, the game was very physical, with a total of 46 fouls called - most of which resulted from the shoving matches under the basket. Michigan center Tim McCor- mick, who had a spirited game defen- sively, noted that the 6-7, 230-pound Atkins was especially rough. "He was very physical. He was trying to move people around with his elbows," said McCormick. Junior forward Thad Garner had an exceptional all-around game for the Wolverines, scoring 15 points, hauling in a team-high six rebounds, and playing his usual hustling defense. Johnny Johnson also had 15 for Michigan. FOR THE FIRST time in quite a while, all of the players on the Michigan bench saw action. 7-2 reserve center Jon Antonides put the finishing touches on the game by tipping in a shot at the buzzer to the delight of the 7,200.fans who attended the game. Should the NIT committee decide to move the winner of the Michigan- Toledo game to an away site, Sunday's contest could be the Crisler finale for Michigan's five seniors. "Many of our players are veterans, and they want to win as many more games as they can in Crisler Arena," said Frieder. MICHIGAN GoodNITe Duquesne McGee ............ Garner......... Heuerman.........

Duquesne 26 Attendance- 7.200 Gymnasts roll into Big By LARRY MISHKIN Despite his 34 years of coaching, Michigan men's gymnastic coach Newt Loken is "as nervous as ever" as his team heads into the Big Ten Champion- ships tonight in Columbus, Ohio. And well he should be. His Wolverine gymnasts, who have been an average team at best, will now have to over- come Big Ten foes Ohio State, Min- nesota, Illinois and Iowa, all of whom defeated Michigan earlier in the season. "THE TEAM IS rarin' to go," said Loken. "The guys have all been working hard for this and now we'll see what happens." Loken, who does not relish the role of predicting outcomes, instead prefers to stick by the standard that "actions speak louder than words." He did, however, hint as to what his team was up against, saying, "The men will have a real fight, clawing through the leaders in order to at least duplicate our third place performance of last year." THE BATTLE FOR the top spot in the tournament will most likely be con- fined to Ohio State, last year's runner- up and this year's favorite, and Min- nesota, the defending champion. Tilinois and Iowa will put up the congest challenge to the two front- runners. Although the Wolverines are not ex- pected to challenge for top, team honors, they are sure to have some fine individual showings. They will be led by team captain and two time Big Ten rings champion Darrell Yee and Kevin McKee, a Big Ten finalist in the floor exercise a year ago and currently ranked first among all floor exercise competitors in the Mideast region. Yee, who will be shooting for his third consecutive rings crown, says that he is nervous, but optimistic. "There is a lot of pressure and good competition, but I'm feeling good and in the best shape I've been in all season," he said. "I also have three years of competition behind me. It will be a matter of me going out and hitting my routine." OTHER WOLVERINES who should perform well are John Rieckhoff on the pommel horse, Rick Kaufmann on the rings, Milan Stanovich in vaulting, and Marshall Garfield in the all-around competition. A definite bright spot for the team is the return of Mike McKee to the lineup for the first time since he broke his hand in the Iowa meet back on Decem- ber 7. McKee, who will perform in the floor exercise and vaulting events, said of his return, "I feel I'm just as strong now as when I injured myself. I have no goals but just want to do the best that I can." While a Big Ten title is the main con- cern for the gymnasts they know that a Uen meet strong showing in Columbus will im- prove their chances of qualifying for the upcoming NCAA tournament to be held April 2-4 in Lincoln, Nebraska. For the present, though, Loken is looking only to tonight and tomorrow as he attempts to win his 13th Big Ten title. He has nothing but praise for the gym- nasts who will try to win it for him. "They're a great bunch of guys and .have shown tremendous improvement since the beginning of the season," he said. "They're a dedicated bunch of gymnasts that deserve a little bit of luck this time around." CHAMPIONSHIPS AT JOE LOUIS ARENA: 'M' runners track NCAA title 6 By JOHN FITZPATRICK Featuring a number of world record holders and the best collegiate track performers in the U.S., the 17th annual NCAA indoor track championship meet ,being held today and tomorrow at Joe Louis Arena, promises to be one of the best ever. Although the poorly constructed board track at Joe Louis has proven to be a hindrance to fast times in the past, a number of exciting races are guaran- teed, due to the presence of such world- class runners as Suleiman Nyambui of Texas-El Paso, Mel Lattany of Georgia, Tony Tufariello of Villanova and Deon Hogan of Kansas. NYAMBUI, WHO HAS won the mile and two mile in this meet for two years in a row, is enjoying one of his best seasons ever. After capturing the silver medal in the 5,000 meters at the Olym- pics this past summer, the Tanzanian won the NCAA cross-country race last November, and has run a 3:59 mile and a world record of 13:20.3 in the 5,000 so far in his indoor campaign. Tufariello, who won the 600 yd. here two years ago, has a fast 1:09.6 perfor- mance to his credit this season, and has the ability to run much faster. Hogan is a standout in the other "long sprint," the 440, having set a world record of 47.20 in that event several weeks ago. In the 60 yd. dash and hurdles, a number of outstanding athletes are ex- pected. Lattany, who has run 6.10 in the 60, is the pre-meet favorite on the basis of his vast international experience. A threat to him might come from indoor long jump record holder Carl Lewis of Houston, who has runa fast 6.17 this year. The hurdles have defending champ Rodney Wilson of Villanova returning. LEWIS, WHOSE LEAP of 27'10" broke the old world record of Larry Myricks by over 4" several weeks ago, should dominate a field which includes Michigan's James Ross, who broke 26' last year. In the other of the horizontal jumps, the triple jump, Washington State's Ian Campbell and Keith Connor of Southern Methodist, who established a collegiate record of 56'/%" last month, are the class of the field. The vertical jumps are also shaping up as talent-packed contests. The high jump will be up for grabs among a variety of jumpers, including 7'4" per- r- mnn lY.. . ...w.open. .y, ee " ppoJ rtuiy U to make up misseut nings and weekends, lessons. I Low hourly cost.

Pole vaulters such as Dave Volz of Indiana, whose 18'2" of several weeks ago leads the collegiate ranks, Ed Langford of Purdue, and Bruce Kimball of Indiana will lend -a distinctly Big Ten air to the vaulting at Joe Louis. Michael Carter, who won the shot put as a freshman on the SMU team last year, is back to defend his title, and will be in a tough battle to repeat. Carter has not been throwing well this year and he'll be facing a number of up and coming putters, such as Mike Lehmann of Illinois, who has thrown over 66' this year, and Kevin Akins of Ohio State, with a 65'2" to his credit. , In addition to Ross, Michigan will be sending Dan Heikkinen to run either the mile or two mile, Mike Shea in the 880, a mile relay team consisting of Ken Gar- dner, Andrew Bruce, Shea, and Shelby Johnson, and a distance medley relay team.
