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. * * * DUDLEY DID not see action at 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.
