the two-mile.
Only Iowa's Ted
Wheeler has equalled this time.
In the low hurdles, Wolverine
Tom Hendricks took second in the
first of two heats, but in doing so
injured his knee by banging it
against a hurdle. He thus was
forced to withdraw from the final,
which was won by Ohio State's
Lee Williams in :07.5.
Hendricks' injury is not serious.
In the high hurdles, Michigan's
only entry, O'Reilly, was forced
to scratch, due to the unexpected
fireworks in the high-jump pit.
The highs* were won by Buckeye
Roger Hauck in :08.4.
Flodin, Relay Team Win
Dick Flodin, the Wolverines'
fine quarter-miler, won that event,
which was decided in two heats
on a time basis, in :50.8, with
Michigan's Bob Rudesill second. A
newly formed mile-relay team -1
Bob Brown, George Gluppe, Rude-
sill and Rob Varian-won the re-
lay in 3:21.2.
Geert Keilstrup of Michigan took
second in the 880 to Ohio State's
Jack McClain. However, the two*
top Wolverine half-milers, Pete
Gray and Varian, were not running
in that race. Instead, they com-
peted against each other in the
1000-yard exhibition race, Gray
winning over Varian in 2:17.
The exhibition 600 was won by
freshman Milt Robinson in 1:15.8,
-a very creditable tim. OSU's Jack
Blackburn, who finished third in
the mile, won the two-mile in
9:37.7, Michigan's Helmar Dollwet
placing fourth.
In other events, Michigan's Dave
Owen surprised no one by copping
the shot put with a heave of 53'-
10%", Eeles Landstrom won the
pole vault with a 13'8" effort, and
Hendricks was second to Williams,
the meet's only double winner,
who broad-jumped 22'111/8".

MICHIGAN'S GYMNASTS CELEBRATE COMPLETION OF THEIR FIRST UNDEFEATED SEASON

Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS, O.-Appearing here
yesterday in the season's final dual
meet, Michigan's wrestling squad
put the finishing touches to next
weekend's defense of the Big Ten
title, by swamping Ohio State,
24-15.
Judging by the results of yes-
terday's preparatory meet, and by
the fact that the grapplers have
now compiled an impressive six
match winning streak after several
early season setbacks, Coach Cliff
Keen seems to have molded a
squad capable of retaining the
championship, next week-end at
Evanston, Ill.
Each Team Forfeits
The meet began with each squad
forfeiting once as Michigan lacked
a man in the 115 pound class and
the Buckeyes were short a grappler
at 123 pounds.
Dan Deppe, wrestling at 130
pounds, lost a close decision to
OSU's John Nicolella, to give the
Wolverines their only real loss un-
til the final match, when Ted
Rader "Pinned Michigan's Tom
Krause at 5:20.
This had little effect on the
outcome, due to such fine per-
formances as the one Mike Rod-
riguez, newly chosen All-American
wrestler and 157 pound Conference
champion, gave. He gained a fall
over Buckeye Mark Roberts in only
2:25.
McMahon Still Unbeaten
At 167 pounds John McMahon
continued to show the fine form
which has given him an unbeaten
record thus far in the season, as
he gained an impressive 11-4 de-
cision which added three more
points to the Michigan cause.
Jack Porter, replacing Frank
Hirt at 137, decisioned OSU's Joe
Branco by a 9-6 margin, while
Hirt, at 147, filling in for the in-
jured Don Haney, managed a draw
with Robert De Felice.
Jack Marchello and Steve Zervas
also added valuable points to the
Wolverine total as they gained
close decisions at weights 177 and
191 pounds, respectively.

Yesterday afternoon, before an
unprecedented crowd of 2,000 fans,
Newt Loken's highly polished gym-
nastic squad completely outclassed
Wisconsin, 73-39, to wind up their
first undefeated dual meet season
since 1950.
"The boys did very well," said
Loken, "and the crowd was won-
derful. It realy encouraged the
boys along in their routines. We
completed 20 out of 21 today and
that's the best we have ever done."
Point Towards Cro3vn
"Now everything we do is point-
ing towards the Big Ten meet.
We want to get all 21 routines in
top shape before next weekend. I
feel the team is still going up,
heading for a still higher peak. I
hope we reach it at Champaign."
Loken managed to get this all
out while changing from soaked
clothes. His jubilant gymnasts
had hoisted him to their should-
ers and gleefully thrown him in
the pool after the string clinching
victory.
As usual, the big man on the
various pieces of apparatus was
the unconquerable Ed Gagnier.

WIGGINS SETS 220 MARK:O
Michigan Ta'k e L se to uekeyes

By AL WINKELSTEIN
Special to The Daily
COLUMBUS, 0.-- Ohio State
demonstrated why it is rated as
Big Ten swimming leader, by con-
vincingly trouncing Michigan 57-36
before a capacity crowd at the
Ohio Natatorium yesterday.
The Buckeyes took first place in
all but two of the 10 events, and
in winning the meet broke one
American, one pool, and one meet
record.
American Record Set
Al Wiggins, Ohio State's great
swimmer, set a new American and
intercollegiate record in the 220-yd.
individual medley by traveling the
distance in 2:08.2.
Ohio State's superiority is even
more evident when it is considered
that Wiggins swam in only one
other event, the 400-yd. relay.
Furthermore, the Buckeyes only
entered one man in several events.
In the 200,yd. breaststroke, for
example, Ohio's Van Leer Hoffman
beat Jim Thurlow and Mike De-
laney. OSU's other two entries in
that event were competing only
for exhibition purposes and did
not.count in the point tabulation.
Yet they both finished ahead of
the Wolverines entries.
could manage only a third in the
220 and 440 yd.-freestyles.
Even a bigger disappointment
for the Wolverines was their div-
ers. The best could could do was
a third by John Narcy. Charlie
Bates, previously considered a seri-
ous contender for theBig Ten
title finished a poor fourth.
M1SU B ate
Last year's Big Ten champion,
Michigan's rifle squad won its sec-
ond dual meet of the young season
yesterday by outshooting Michigan
State, 1805-1751, at the Air Force
ROTC range.
Rudy Nornberg's 376 and Bob
Fear's 374 were leading scores for
the winners.
Ohio State was Michigan's first
dual meet victim, 1402-1391. Ro-
berta Gubbins led the WolverineI
marksmen in that close meet a!
week ago with 283 of 300 possible
points.
Veteran Jan Gogulski and his
freshman brother Paul carried
Michigan tobasecond place finish
last Sunday in the Illinois Invi-
tational Meet at Champaign. They
took first and third, respectively,
in individual scoring.

MUSIC! SONGS!
DIRECT FROM PARIS, FRANCE!
The s Ii m Canadian's agility
brought many gasps of amazement
from the large throng as he
breezed to four firsts, a second, and
a fourth to bring his season's meet
total to an astounding 204 points.
Wiese Gets Two Firsts
Although again playing "num-
ber two man" to the sensational
Gagnier, Nick Wiese also perform-
ed beautifully. He took firsts in
his specialties, the flying rings and
tumbling, and also had two sec-
onds and a fifth.
Behind this powerful one-
two punch the strong secondary
strength of Loken's well balanced
crew filled in many of the other,
places.
Especially outstanding w a s
trampolinest Remo Boila. Just
out of the Army, Boila has taken
part in only one previous meet
this season. He came up with his
best performance yesterday, how-
ever, putting together a 243 point
routine for second* in the event.
Wisconsin's best performer, Lee
Geraldson, edged him out with a
253.
Participating for the last time
at Michigan were seniors Boila,
captain Tony San Antonio, Jack
Burchfield, and Norm Neidermeier.
The first three contributed 14
points to the winning cause. Neid-
ermeier, though ineligible, did two
routines not to count, and looked
very good.
San Antonio had the lion's share
of the senior's 14 points with a
second in the parallel bars and a
third in the high bar.
Geraldson and Jim Murphy
added the most to Wisconsin's
weak showing. Geraldson's first
in the trampoline was coupled
with a second on the tumbling
mat. Murphy had A second on
the side horse, a third on the
parallel bars, a fourth in the free
exercise and a fifth on the high
bar.
