Four Michigan gymnasts totaled
almost three-fourths of all the
team points the Wolverines scored
so far this year, unofficial figures
released yesterday reveal.
In seven dual meets the Maize
and Blue acrobats racked up a
booming 387.5 points, compared to
292.5 for opponents. Pete Barthell,
captain of the Michigan team, Ed
Buchanan, four-title holder in
trampoline, Connie Ettl, sopho-
more all-around sensation, and
Tom Tillman, ace tumbler and
trampoliner totaled 285 markers
among them.
BARTHELL led all scorers for
the regular season with an amaz-
,> ing 102 points, despite the fact
that he missed the opener with
Chicago. Little Ettl was second in
the point race with 77, followed by
Tillman with 64 and Buchanan,
who had 42.
The Wolverines averaged al-
most 14 points better per meet
than the opposition, as they
clicked at a 55.3 pace.
The unofficial figures, of course,
do not tell the entire story. For
instance, way down the team list
is Sam Dudley who had a season's
total of only nine points. However,
those nine points were all made at
crucial times, and represent one
of the most important contribu-
tions made to the team all year.

PETE BARTHELL
... high pointer
to replace Gordie Levenson, one of
the tramp triplets who was in-
jured, Dudley came through with
veteran performances and helped
save the day in both the Michigan
State and Kent State meets.
The consequences of being a
specialist kept Buchanan's ag-
gregate down. While the other
three top scorers were partici-
pating in two or more events,
"Tex" limited himself to work-
ing the trampoline exclusively.
He remained undefeated
througout the season and ap-
pears a likely bet to retain his
crowns in tlie Western Con-
ference, Western Open, NCAA,
and National AAU.

Detroit Tigers sent 12 men to bat
in a big seven run third inning
yesterday as they beat the New
York'Yankees 9-4 for their second
straight win over the World Cham-
pions.
George Kell's three run homer
was the big whallop of the inning
and came off lefthander Eddie
Ford, a rookie up from Bingham-

Tiger runs in his four innings on
the mound. - Duane Pillette fin-
ished up for New Yorkers.
Starter Saul Rogovin held the
Yankees scoreless and allowed only
two hits in the first five innings,
but six walks and a wild pitch
kept him in trouble a lot of the
time.
Hal White finished up for the
Detroiters and yielded a pair of
runs in each of the last two inn-
ings. Cliff Mapes and Jack Jen-
sen hit homers for the Yankees.
