THE

By JIM BAAD
Michigan's gymnasts left last
Thursday morning for the Big
Ten Meet full of championship op-
timism, ran smack into the most
powerful gymnastic juggernaut the
Conference has ever seen on Fri-
day and Saturday, and came home
very pleased with their second
place on Sunday.
"We're the best of the Big
Nine," said Eddie Gagnier during
the ride home, and the impact of
the statement went deep.
Illinois had been unbeatable.
After Friday's qualifications, every
other team just conceded the
championship for the seventh time
to the Illini, and all set out for the
only prize left in reach, second
S p lace.
"Why was Illinois so strong?"
many say. "How could they win
by such a landslide when Michi-.
gan beat them during the dual
meet season?" These are ques-
tions that have to be answered
and the answer is obvious after
having watched the meet in pro-
gression.
The Illini of the dual meet
season were not the Illini of the

Big Ten Meet. Three n e w,
S just eligible, sophomore sensations
made the difference for the con-
querors from Champaign.
Don Tonry won the all-around
and on Saturday picked up a total
of 43 points. Gavin Blair was
second in the all-around, tied for
the side horse championship, and
picked up 34 points on Saturday.
Mike Karon worked two events,
tumbling and trampoline, and
picked up 16 points.
This is a total of 84 points in
Big Ten Meet Competition from
three men who weren't even
around when Michigan won the
dual meet.
Therefore whine Illinois was
running away with practically
every event, the competition wa
hot and heavy right under them.
Jack Burchfield and Wayne
Warren should be mentioned be-
cause each of them performed the
best they have yet. Burchfield
who had performed steadily if
not brilliantly on the trampoline
all season, came through with s
seventh. This effort and Warren's
eighth on the parallel bars gave
Michigan seven decisive points.

fishing touch on the Spartan vic-
tory. Tillotson scored right be-
fore the horn to make the final
score a little closer.
Senior guards Tom Jorgensen
and Barron made their final bows
triumphant ones before the large
crowd of 7,000-both performed
brilliantly.
Jorgensen scored 24 points to
lead both teams, but his tremend-
ous floor play continually rattled
the Spartans. He seemed to for-
get that he had a bad leg, playing
the whole game-and never letting
up.

Barron, Michigan's other "one-
legged" guard, also gave every-
thing he had, even though one of
his knees was taped profusely. He
scored 14 points, but his courage-
ous play couldn't quite elevate his
team past the squad from East
Lansing,
Randy Tarrier played well. He
was a giant under the backboards,
and stuck to McCoy like glue on
defense. Ron Kramer, not taking
as many shots as usual, scored 14
points. Tillotson, with 13, was the
only other Wolverine to break into
double figures.

By ED SALEM
Wolverine swimming fans should
be proud of their team today.
They should be proud of their
team, supposedly demoralized by
the recent Wardrop suspension; a
team seemingly without any indi-
vidual stars; a team which the'
experts thought was Michigan's
worst in 30 years.; yet a team which
somehow placed second in the Big
Ten meet.
It's true the squad had no Al
Wiggins, no Bill Woolsey, but they
had something else -something
most teams lack. As one of. the
swimmers said after the meet,
"When you cut one or two tenths
of a second off your best time, it
means you're up for the meet, but
when you cut two, three, or even
four seconds off your timeias some
of the boys did tonight, it takes
more .than spirit-it takes guts."
Capt. John O'Reilly took third
place in the 1500-meter race, the
first event of the meet, and in
doing so cut more than 10 seconds
off his best time. When this hap-

ICTOR

pened, you could tell by the reac-
tions of his teammates that there
was something different about this
Michigan team. Something which
previously had gone unnoticed.
From the way the Wolverines
acted-their cheers, the expres-
sions on their indivicual races -
you could see the desire-the desire
to uphold the great Michigan
swimming tradition. A tradition
which has placed Michigan no
lower than third in the conference
in over 25 years.
O'Reilly's third place just seem-
ed to start a chain of events. In
rapid-fire order, Bobby Knox sur-
prised with a fourth in the 50-yard
freestyle; reliable Jim Kruthers
took third in two backstroke
events; Don Adamski, on the trip
mainly for experience, took sixth
in the 100 yard backstroke; De-
laney set a new big ten record in
the 200-yard butterfly; O'Reilly
took a fourth, and then another
third in the 220- and 440-yard
freestyles.

And it didn't end there, for
John Murphy, with a protective
padding on his head, took a fourth
in the low-board diving, while
Charlie Bates took fifth. Every
time Murphy dove, the crowd held
'its breath for the day before, he
hit his head on the board.
Then in the high diving, it was
Bates, this time with John Narcy,
who placed for the Wolverines;
and then another surprise, Jim
Thurlow's second place in the
breast stroke. Breaking the old
Big Ten record, Thurlow was
cheated out of having lis name in
the record books, when Van Leer
Hoffman of OSU beat him by a
tenth of a second for still another
record.
Then last, but certainly not
least, Fritz Myers' great third place
in the individual medley, losing,
only to Wiggins and Sonny Tan-
abe, two-of the world's best.
Anyway you look at it, they're
a proud bunch of boys today, and
they deserve it, too.
