MICHIGAN TRACK CAPTAIN Ron Wallingford (left) and Coach Don Canham could well be pondering the question that will be answered tonight and tomorrow at East Lansing-Can the Wolver- ines hold off the challenge of Iowa's strong squad and retain Big Ten track supremacy? Powerful Iowa Tracksters Haunt Canham s Favorites By JIM BAAD Special To The Daily CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-The feeling around Michigan's gymnastic squad has become tense as they wait impatiently for this after- noon's and tonight's elimination events. These events will determine ex- actly who will take part in the actual Big Ten Meet on Saturday. Obviously the team with the most men qualified will have the best chance to win. Michigan wants to win very bad- ly. Newt Loken's crew breezed through an undefeated season, their first since 1950, and now are looking forward to their first Big Ten title. Never Won No Michigan gymnastic team has ever won this distinction. On the other hand, Michigan's arch rival Illinois has captured the Con- ference crown for the last six years, establishing an unparalelled dominance of the Midwest gym- nastic scene. This year Illinois could be de- throned by the Wolverines. Loken's crew displayed greater strength during the dual meet season by de- feating the Illini 57-55. On the merits of this victory and the fact that the Wolverines have been gathering greater perfection all during the year, a Michigan vic- tory prediction looks like a good bet. However, there are certain fac- tors which mar such a lovely pic- ture. Illinois was not at the same level of performance when they were beaten as they are now. Be- tween semesters the squad from Champaign acquired three sopho- mores, Don Tonry, Gavin Blair, and Mike Karren who are rated by Loken as being on a par with Ed Gagnier, Michigan's sophomore wonder. Injuries Hit Both Teams Michigan has been somewhat weakened because captain Tony San Antonio has been sick all week with virus infection and has not been able to work out. He is here with the team but is not expected to be at top form. Illinois also has injuries, however. Star Dick Jirus suffered a broken ' wrist a short time ago. When everything is taken into balance this way ,it all boils down to a battle royal between the two Conference powers, Champion Illi- nois and challenger Michigan. Iowa was once in the running, but since their major point getter, Sam Bailie broke his ankle three weeks ago they have been out of the running. Michigan will send its full team into the qualifying events, but carrying the major share of the load will be Gagnier and Nick Wiese. Wiese is entered in all ten events; Gagnier in everything but the trampoline. SPORT COATS For Spring Both men have entered the All Around, which is the decathalon of a gymnastic meet and winning it the biggest honor. Competition will come from Illinois' two won- der sophs, Tonry and Blair along with senior John Culbertson. Staf- fen Carlssonl of Iowa and Roland Brown of Michigan State are also in the running. "Gagnier has an excellent chance to win the All Around," says Loken. "If he does he will be the first sophomore to do so as far as I can remember." Gym (Continued from Page 1) best) in the 70-yard low-hurdles and :08.5 (best) in the 70-yard highs. In addition, his 6'6%" in the high jump has been bettered only by Michigan's Brendan O'Reilly. The Hawks' depth doesn't end here. Their mile-relay quartet was recently clocked in 3:19.9, second to the Wolverines' 3:17.4. Their broadjumpers - Earl Smith and Phil Leahy -- have out-jumped Michigan's entries. Their pole-vaulter-Gardner Van Dyke-has vaulted 13'8". Their quarter-milers-Caesar Smith and Tom Ecker-have both run the distance in :49.7, better than any- one on Michigan's squad has done. Why, then, are the Wolverines favored? Overall balance and depth prob- ably account for giving the Blue the nod. A quick rundown of its entrants reveals this solidarity. In' the pole vault, Eeles Land- strom stand alone as the favorite. His 14'5" has been the only 14' or better leap of the season. It's the same story in the shot put, Dave Owen returns to defend his title, and his 55'iY" is the tops in the conference. In the high jump, O'Reilly's leap of last week- end - 6'7%" - establishes him as the man to beat, and the defending champion, Mark Booth, couples with the Irishman to make the event a formidable one for the Wolverines. % The Michigan mile-relay team should once again prove its class. Bob Rudesill, George Gluppe, Bob Brown and Robin Varian function well as a unit. The "arrival" of Jim Pace as a track star should give Michigan some points in the 60, though Northwestern's Jim Golliday looks like the sure win- ner. Varian in the 1000, Gray to de- fend championships in the 1000 and 880 and Wallingford in the mile and two-mile make the Blue look mighty good on paper.
