I I SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE - . -, I Thinclads Battle Spartans; Gymnasts Op Runners Michigan's stellar track squad, 34 strong, journeys to East Lan- sing tonight to face arch-rival Michigan State in the Wolver- ines' first dual meet of the season. The tilt, beginning at 7:00 p.m. in Jenison Fieldhouse, is figured to ':e only moderately tough for the Maize and Blue thinclads, who are pointing for the conference meet two weeks away. BESIDES having superior in- dividual performers, the cinder contingent can boast of a team depth advantage t h a t should ' wing the scales decidedly in gan's favor. Of the even dozen scheduled events State is expected to be a source of trouble in only three, the 60 yard dash, the high jump and the pole vult. In the other events Michigan has at least one outstanding performer a n d more often several. ti The feature attraction of the evening will pit sophomore John Ross against captain Don Mc- Ewen in the mile. Ross will also run the 880, along with George Jacobi and Arron Gordon, while McEwen will do the two mile, his specialty, with freshman John Moule and -Bill Hickman. * * * VAN BRUNER and Wally At- chison should nail down both hurdle events, and big Fritz Nils- son should do the same in the- shot put. Horace Coleman is fa- vored to take broad jumping hon- ors. M0SC's Jim Vrooman poses a major problem to high jumpers Bob Evans and Dave Heintzman, Unless Evans can duplicate an earlier effort of 6'4", Vrooman should escape with winner's lau- rels. Ross Coates, John Vallortegara and Terry Nulf will represent Michigan in the 60 yard dash. All are rated about equal in ability. ose Illinois Tumblers The, axe may fall today! Michigan's gymnasts, thus far this season, have taken most of their meets with little or no trou- ble at all, piling up very high scores. They have tallied 254 points to their opponents' 129 points. THE WORM may turn in the Michigan dual meet at the Uni- versity of Illinois today. The ex- perts are betting even money on the event. Illinois suffered its first loss in three years at the hands of Michigan State last Saturday, 53-43. This ended a 22-dual meet winning streak for the II- lini. They have lost a few men through scholastic ineligibility but still present a very strong team. The defeat by MSC doesn't prove much since State has a very strong team this year, and should go a long way in the Big Ten meet. Spearhead of the Illinois at- tack is Bob Sullivan, a junior who racked up 20 points against MSC with firsts on the flying rings and in tumbling. Sullivan captured the national tumbling championship last year. * * * TO OPPOSE Illinois' No. I man, the Wolverines will have Harry Luchs, a two-time winner on the rings, and Connie Ettl, finally rounding into top form. Duncan Erley's tumbling routine should make things close in that event with Don Hurst adding some ad- ditional support. Besides Sullivan, Illini coach Charlie Pond has some good all-round men in Gil Brinkmey- er and Frank Bare. Brinkmey- er is one of the nation's top parallel bar men and Bare is ranked high as a side horse performer. Freshman Jeff Austin and Capt. Walt Cryer make -up Illinois' trampoline contingent. Cryer took second in the Midwest open meet this year; Austin doubles up on the tumbling event. Cager McCoymen Vie for Sixth. Big Ten Spot Ebert Tops OSU; Skala Eyes 500 Strange as it may seem, Michi- gan's basketball team will be shooting for sixth place in the Big Ten when it meets Ohio State at Columbus tonight. Coach Ernie McCoy's charges have notched only three of ten conference starts, but a win over the Buckeyes, who stand currently at 4-7, would put the Wolverines at the top of the second division by half a game. THE MAIZE and Blue must contend with phenomenal sopho- more Paul Ebert if it expects to reach its greatest heights in the Western Conferenee since a third place finish in 1949. Ebert is a 6-4 center from Columbus who holds down fourth position in the Big Ten scoring race with 212 points in eleven contests for a 19.3 aver- age. He has netted 35 per cent of his shots from the floor and 62 per cent from the free throw line. After Ebert, the Buckeye scor- ing attack lacks potency. Forward Tom Williams, a junior from Lima, Ohio, ranks 25th in the cir- cuit with 97 points for an 8.8 average. The only other OSU point- getter in the top 43 is Captain John Karaffa, senior guard who is in the 43rd1 position with 68 markers and a 6.2 average. ,e * * OTHER BUCKEYE starters are veteran forward Ralph Armstrong, a letterman for two successive seasons, and Jack Jones, 5-11 guard out of Dayton. Coach Floyd Stahl's five also administered one of the three losses to third Flace Minnesota. The Gophers other two defeats came at the hands of the two leaders, Iowa and Illinois. WHEN THEY trot out onto their home court, the Buckeyes will be seeking their fifth straight triumph over Michigan, which has taken 27 verdicts in the 56-game history of the series. The Michigan cagers have not defeated the Bucks since their first meeting in 1949. Last year's struggle went to Ohio State, 68-66, at Ann Arbor. McCoy will field his usual start- ing combination of Captain Jim Skala and Ray Pavichevich at the forwards, Milt Mead in the pivot slot, and Doug Lawrence and Don Eaddy as the backcourt guardians. Skala, with four games to go, seems sure to surpass the 500 point mark for three years of var- sity play. The Chicago senior has registered a three-season total of 452 tallies, with 249 of them com- ing against conference opposition. He tops this season's Wolverine hoopsters with 202 scores.

The Wolverines will g into the dual meet heavily-favored despite the fact that the Hawkeyes also claim an unblemished record. Iowa's dual meet wins this season have been at the expense of four of the weaker swimming teams in the Conference, Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Purdue and Northwestern. * * * A FAST RACE is promised in the 200-yard breaststroke this af- ternoon when Michigan's John Davies and Stew Elliott tangle with Iowa's Bowen Stassforth. Stassforth holds the AAU breast- stroke records for the 400-meter, 440-yard, 500-yard, and 500-meter events. Iowa also promises to give the visitors some fast competition in the sprints. Wally Nicholson, Dick Labahn, and Keo Mana, all members of the 400-yard free-style relay team which set an Iowa Field House Pool record of 3:28.7 against Michigan last year, are expected to give the Wolverines a tough test in the relay. Coach Matt Mann will have Don Hill, Tom Benner, Jim Ford, John Ries, Bumpy Jones, Wally Jeffries and Jim White available for duty in the free-style relay against Iowa. Hill will have an opportunity to crack two more free-style marks this afternoon, the records for the Iowa pool be- ing 23.3 for the 50 and 50.4 for the 100. * * * THE 150-YARD individual med- ley shapes up as a close race among Iowa's Ron Johnson and Michigan's Rusty Carlisle and Jones, if the latter is used in this race. Johnson placed fourth in the NCAA individual medley and third in the Big Ten race last year. Wolverine divers Jim Walters and John Hanrahan will match dives with Otto Broeder. Broed- er took fifth place in the Con- ference high board diving last year. The hosts are weak in the back- stroke department, but will call on Herb Martin, Willis Weber and possibly Johnson. The Wolverines will counter with John Chase and Dick Howell. Wayne Leengran, Jeffries and Jones battle Iowa's Don Watson in the 220 and 440-yard free-style races. Today's meet gives the Wolver- ines their last preparatory test for the big meet with Ohio State's conference champions at Colum- bus next Wednesday. By PAUL GREENBERG A conference title is a dangerous prediction to make, but if the Wolverine grapplers can get past Michigan State at East Lansing tonight they will definitely move into position as "the team to beat" when the conference champion- ship meet comes here on March 7 and 8. The Spartans, supposedly a re- built and green squad,' defeated defending champion Ohio State by an 18-10 margin and the Buck- eyes had been considered the class of the conference. Coach Cliff Keens' matmen massacred Illinois, the other "big team" in the Big Ten, earlier in the season. * * * AS THEY GO into the match against State, the Wolverines have lost only one match in conference competition and that was to Indi- ana when both Larry Nelson and Miles Lee didn't see action. MSC has its team built around the trio of Orris Bender, Eddie Casalicchio and Bob Hoke, three very compe- tent performers. Both Casalicchio and Hoke are of the "green" stock that Coach Fendley Collins was afraid to count'on at the begin- ning of the season. Casalicchio is a sophomore who last year, competing unattached came in second in the National AAU meet. His meeting with Jack Gallon tonight in the 137 pound class promises to be one of the evening's best matches. It will be up to Miles Lee to put the brakes on Hoke, as the Spar- tan moves up to wrestle at 157 pounds. Lee is out for his fourth straight win after being sidelined by an elbow injury in the Pitts- burgh meet. * * * . BENDER is one of the three letter winners on the MSC squad, and is the only one expected to see action tonight. Despite an unimpressive record last year he has improved to the point where he is now one of the most highly- considered of Coach Collins' men. He will meet Captain "Bud" Hol- combe of the Wolverines at 167 pounds. Three other newcomers on the State wrestling squad that are highly rated both by Coach Keen and his assistant Bob Bet- zig are heavyweight Larry Fow'- ler, a sophomore tackle on last year's undefeated Spartan foot- ball team and the fabulous Gunner twins from Chicago.

The two teams fought it out with vicious check- ing and blocking until just before the end of the stanza, when Mc- Kennell fired in a ten-footer from the corner for his second tally of the evening and the third for Michigan. Thanks, Bennie!

U.S. Adds Eleven More Points at Oslo OSLO - P)- Uncle Sam's in- trepid bobsledders and talented figure skaters picked up 11 points and silver medals in two events yesterday, but America relin- quished all hope of catching Nor- way as the Winter Olympics moved toward their climax. Stout sons of Germany and one. daughter, competing in their first games since 1936, snuffed out strong U.S. bids with a sweep in the hazardous four-man bobsled race and the figure skating pairs. The dare-devil innkeeper of Garmisch, Andreas Ostler, won the bobsled crown, his second of the current meet, with two more lightning runs down Frognerset- eren's icy chute. America's No. 1 sled, piloted by Stan Benham of Lake Placid, N. Y., was held to second place. e j Keyes dropped back of the Mc- Gill defense and, taking a long pass from Jim Haas, skated in all alone to fire one past Bob Mac- Lellan, the McGill goalie, to make it 4-0. Midway in the period McKen- nell found his way behind the McGill defenders and back-hand- ed a beautiful shot into the nets to complete the "trick" and rack up the fifth goal for the Maize and Blue. Pelow salted it away two min- utes before the end of the game by skating through the entire Mc- Gill squad to chalk up the filial goal. FIRST PERIOD: No scoring. Penalties-Michigan: Haas (cross check), Mascarin (holding); McGill: Lynch (charging); all two minutes. SECOND PERIOD: I - Michigan, Chin (Cooney), 1:46; 2 -- Michigan, McKennell (Keyes, Pelow), 3:01; 3- Michigan, McKennell (Mullen, Haas), 19:04.
