Willoughby Cops Win
In Trampoline Event
By JOE WALSH
Michigan's fighting gymnastic
:quad almost kicked the dope
bucket out of Yost Field House
last night by coming within 5
points of upsetting mighty Illi-
nois, 1947 NCAA Champions.
Trailing at the start of the last
event 552-4012, the Wolverines
swept the first three places in the
trampoline specialty to win that
event 13-3, but when the final
tally was taken, the Maize surge
was on the short end of a 58>-
53%/ margin.
Captain Vito Zinzi, Big-Nine
side-horse champion was the
heavy artillery in the Illini at-
tack, copping two firsts, one on
the long horse, and the other in
his particular specialty, the side-
horse. Close on his heels as the
visiting point-getter were the Fina
boys, Joe and Johnny, and Joe
Calvetti, star of the 1942 Na-
tional Championship club.
The first three events, the
high bar, long horse, and flying
rings were run off after Mich-
igan's tank squad had over-
whelmed Purdue in the after-
noon at the I-M Building.
Calvetti mixed the batter for
the Illini vjctory cake by taking
the high bar title with a total of

During this quiet Leni
to plan your

41 points, the highest score
amassed by any athlete in the'
meet. Three and one-half points
later came one of the ubiquitous
Fina lads, Johnny, followed by
Michigan's Bob Willoughby at 32,
Dick Fashbaugh with 30'2, with
Jack 'Heron of the 1ilini as the
anchor man at 22.
Vito Zinzi then took his first
verdict of the day with a
smooth performance on the
long horse. Wolverine Willough-
by beat out Joe Fina for place,
O'Hcron ended in fourth, and
Loyal Jodar of Michigan held
down fifth spot.
At this point, Illinois led 22-10,
but Michigan's Dick Fashbaugh
turned in his best performance of
the day to whip Joe Harrington
of Illinois on the flying rings.
Michigan Co-Captain Glenn Neff
and Zinzi tied for third, and
Tommy Tillman of the Wolverines
finished in fifth.
Joe Fina sounded the, Wol-
ierine rattle in the tumbling
match, besting Tillman by V
point.
In the evening half of the meet,
Joe Harrington of the visitors
copped the first specialty, the
parallel bars. Three of the Wol-
verine strong men, Jack Allred,
Neff, and Fashbaugh finished 2-
3-4, and Joe Fina held down the
last position.

By MURRAY GRANT
Sweeping first places in allE
seven events and the two relays
a powerful Michigan swimming
team opened its Western Confer-
ence dual meet season yesterday
with a crushing 64-20 victory over
Purdue in the Varsity Pool.
Led by Dick Weinberg, who cap-
tured both the 50-yard and 100-
yard freestyles and Matt Mann
III, who won the 220-yard and
440-hrard freestyles, the Wolver-
ines piled up their best times of
the year to warn the rest of the
Conference of their strength.
Probably the best race of the af-
ternoon came in the 200-yard
breaststroke as two of the top
butterfly tankmen in the world
locked strokes for eight thrilling
lengths.I
Sohl, Carter Match Strokes
Michigan's Bob Sohl and Keith
Carter of Purdue swam stroke for
stroke for six laps and then inj
the last 50 yards Sohl turned it on
to touch out the angular Purdue
captain in 2:17.5, the best time or
his career. Carter also turned in
his best clocking and became one
of the few men ever to break 2:20
as he touched in 2:18.8.
The Wolverines hopped off to a
fast start as the 300-yard medleys
relay team composed of Captain

After the breathtaking 200-
yard breaststroke which had the
fans on their feet came another
duel between Mann and Stager
in the 440-yard freestyle. This'
one was also won by Mann with
Stager right on his heels. Mann
overcame a three yard lead with
a terrific kick to edge Stager
out as he was timed in 4:49.6.
Wolverines Take Last Event
Michigan kept its all winning
way in the final event, the 400-
yard relay, as the quartet of Tom
Coates, Johnny McCarthy, Jay
Sanford and Tittle put together a
3:35.2 clocking to easily defeat the
Purdue quartet of Enochs, Papen-
}guth. Kahms and Carter.
An interesting sidelight to thet
meet was the teacher-student re-
lationship that existed between
the two coaches. Coach Dick Pap-
enguth of Purdue was a former
Michigan star in the early daN s
of Coach Matt Mann's tenure.
Another sidelight existed in the
fact that both coaches had sonsE
swirntimnng roihem. Dick TPapen-
gutLi, Jr., swain in the 300-yard
medley and the 400-yard ree-
style relays and Matt Mann IT
captured firsts in the 220 and
440-yard freestyle

MONDAY MAT MEET:
Wrestlers Face
Grappling Sqn
Last week-end's trouncing of
strong Purdue has not made the
rocky road to fortune any easier
for the Wolverine wrestling club.
Boasting a squad of formidable
grapplers and Conference champ-
icns, the Iowa grunt-and groan
men meet the Michigan wrestlers
tomorrow night at Yost Field
House immediately following the
Michigan-Indiana basketball tilt.
Close Meet Anticipated
In what promises to be "a very
close meet," Coach Cliff Keen shied
away from any crystal ball gazing
as to the outcome. He also insisted
the season was too young to pre-
dict any Conference champion but
strongly hinted Michigan would
definitely be one of the contend-
ersd
There is no doubt as to the

Strong Iowa
Cad Tomuorrowi
prowess of the Hawkeyes though,
with such notables as Joe Scarpel-
lo at 175 and Rometo Macias at
128, both conference champions
in their respective classes, bols-
tering their roster.
The Wolverine mentor also
mentioned six other Iowa grap-
plers, Vern McCoy, Dick Wood-
ward, Don Rodenborn, Dick Bark-
er, Ken Keith, and Ray Carlson,
as threats to any mat team.
Dworsky Still Out
With Dan Dworsky still suffer-
iig from a malingering case of
asthma, the only man benched for
the forthcoming Iowa contest, the
Maize and Blue squad remains at
the same high point of strength
and power it displayed against
Purdue.

time was 5:06, five and six-tenths
seconds faster than the Michigan

Mann Cops 220
Matt MannIII and Gus Stager
matched each other stroke for
stroke in the 220-yard freestyle
only to have Mann barely touch
out his teammate to cop the event
in 2:11.6. Stager was clocked only
2-tenths of a second slower as he
turned in a 2:11.8 timing.
The much:heralded duel be-
tween Weinberg and Carter came
up in the 50-yard freestyle as
Weinberg touched in :23.2 to de-
feat the Purdue ace. WolverineI
Bill Crispin turned in an excel-I
lent performance as he took third,
scant inches behind Carter.
Gil Evans overcame an early
lead built up by Purdue's Major
Willis and Wolverine Ralph Trim-
born as he came through with
two beautiful dives off the high
board to take the fancy diving
event and continue Miohigan's
string of firsts.
Weinberg Clocked in :51.6
Weinberg came right back after
the diving to score his second vic-
tory as he and teammate Bill
Kogen scored an easy one-two
triumph over the Purdue entry.
Weinberg's clocking was 51.6 with
Kogen slightly off that pace.
Holiday, the Wolverine captain,
had no difficulty winning his spe-
cialty, the 150-yard backstroke as
he turned in his best time of the
season to defeat his running mate
Art Johnson with a 1:33.3 clock-
ing.

Pro-football, in the person of
Ray Flaherty, owner of the All-
American Conference New YorkI
Yankees, entered Ann Arbor qui-
etly Friday morning to confer'
I with several graduates of the 19471
Michigan squad.
After a full day tracking down I
ends Lenny Ford and Bob Mann,
fullback Jack Weisenburger, and
quarterback Howard Yerges, Fla-
herty left the same evening with-
out any definite results. According
to Weisenburger, who won't grad,-
uate until Jtne, the Eastern mag-
nate is willing to work out a base-
ball-football playing contract for
both New York Yankees outfits.
Since Weisenburger has a semes-
ter of college baseball eligibility
left, he refused to make any com-
mitments at present.
Mountainous Lenny Ford has
already been drafted by the Los
Angeles Dons of the All-American
Conference, and unless a trade is
made between the two organiza-
tions, Ford is required by league
regulations to sign with the Dons
if he is going to'pen a contract at
all.
