"Last year at this time I jumped 16' and was consistently hititing it," said Chevillet. "I was only doing 15' this year and was disappointed."

Disappointing cager season. . . -52 OS to ..n ta 0ota loss UNDAY'S 3-2OStoNotre Dame was a fitting finish to the 1981-82 ~edition of the Michigan basketball squiad-something went wrong. In the final seconds of the contest, Michigan had the ball, down by one *point. Since it had twofouls to give before reaching the bonus, Notre Dame's strategy was simple: foul whoever had the ball for the Wolverines so as to keep them fromn getting of f a shot on this trip doWncourt. And itj worked. With six seconds remaining, Notre Dame's John Paxson pushed Eric Turnter out of bounds. Michigan got the ball back, but Ike Per- son's shot' at the buzzer came up short. After the game, Turner would say that Paxson had intentionally fouled him. Bu} the ref didn't see it tha't way. No foul was called, and the ball was given to Notre Dame on the questionably called Michigan turnover. The call should not have surprised the Wolverines, however. They should have been used to bad breaks going againist them. After all, everything that could possibly have gone wrong this season has gne wrong for Michigan. , Compounding the loss of four starters from last season's team were the sason-long injuries of the Wolverines' two tallest players. When MC. Bur- tnand Joe James quit the team, things really looked bad. Furthermore, the cagets had more than their fair share of difficulties on the road where tran- sportation miscues were numerous and a bout with food poisoning awaited them. The result of these problems was the first 20-loss year at Michigan since the 1959-1960 season. Taking all of these misfortunes into consideration, one question comes to mind. Why are the Wolverines smiling? After the disheartening loss against Notre Dame to end a disheartening season, it was only logical to assume that there would be a disheartened group of players in the Michigan lockerroom after the game. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Start next season now WithoUt exception, the, players who will return next season expressed a desire to start the 1982-1983 season right now. "As a team we've improved," said freshman Eric Turner after the game. "I know that I've imrproved in every phase of the game. We all hate to see it end since we were just putting it together. We're looking forward to next season." "The season may have ended today, but I'm ready to start again already," said Willis Carter. But the positive aspects of this season go beyond the Wolverines' improved play. Equally as important, Michigan has set a solid foundation for the future. For starters, the Wolverines have had an outstanding year recruiting since this year's prep standouts 'see the down Michigan program as one where they can get immediate playing time. In addition, the program will benefit from the playing time seen by this year's freshmen. "The playing time has helped me a lot," said Carter, a freshman himself. "Getting playing time is the only way to improve and get better.", Team captain, and lone Michigan senior, Thad Garner also took note of the experience earned by this season's freshmen. "When pressure situations arise in the future, they'll remember this year," said Garner. "It'll really pay off." e Teonlyplyea r wh won't benefitfrom he lups taen this yea isGr piest." On paper, the Wolverines' 7-20 record would seem to leave a lot to be * season won' be reembere as on that had aot go wrong Instead, it wl be remembered as one that had a lot go right. By STEVEN R. KAMEN , The Michigan men's gymnastics team finished fifth at the Big Ten Gymnastic Championships in Madison, .Wisconsin Saturday. The competition was stiff, and the Wolverine gymnasts had a few setbacks which anulled their chances for a Big Ten title this year. Winning the. Big Ten gymnastic title were the Minnesota Gophers with a formidable score of 274.95. Illinois and Iowa: tied for second place with 274.00. Ohio State placed fourth at 272.70 while the Wolverines took fifth, scoring 268.55. MICHIGAN head coach Newt Loken said, "We are disappointed, but the top five teams were so close that any one could have won it." Perhaps most devastating to Michigan was the injury of its senior Chris Van Mierlo. Van Mierlo tore several ligaments in his leg while on the high bar. He recently came back from major surgery on his right shoulder and now the injury to his leg will require further surgery. "When we 'lost Chris Van Mierlo, it disrupted our momen- tum but the guys didn't give up the ship," Loken said. Indeed, there were several bright spots in the competition for the Wolverines. Kevin McKee tied Min- nesota's Brian Meeker for first place oni the floor exercise with a score of 9.65. Also on the floor exercise Michigan's Milan Stanovich took sixth place with an impressive score of 9.45. McKee and Stanovich led the tumblers to their season high and first place on the floor exercise in the Big Ten with a score of 46.85. On the still rings Wolverine Rick Kaufmann took a second place with a 9.60. Following close behind were teammates Al Berger and Dino Manus who took fourth and seventh place, respectively, with score of 9.35 and 9.20. Michigan's strong performance on the still rings led the team to a first place at the meet by scoring 44.65. On the team's strong performances Loken said, "Milan Stanovich and Kevin McKee had fine performances for us, and I was also p4eased with our floor exercise and ring squads."* Some other highlights for the Michigan gymnasts were Stanovich's first-place score of 9.65 in the vaulting event and Manus's third place score of 9.30 on the parallel bars. 9:00am - 9:30am 9:30am - 10:30am 10:30am - 11:00am 11:00am - 1:00pm - 1:30pm - 3:00pm - 1:00pm 1:30pm 3:30pm 5:00pm Super Pet Demonstration Open Demonstration Demonstrtio of intrelligent CRT terminal on MTs Open Demonstrations Super Pet demonstration Open Demnonstration .Super Pet Demonstration Demonstration of Intelligent CRT Terminal on MTs All Languages Question & Answer Period All Languages Question &-Answer Period Basic & Fortran Question and Answer Period APL, Assembler, PASCAL C E LTICS WIN 111-101 Pistonsrotle By DOUGLAS B.
