1:40 gone in "first-two-points-
win-sudden-death" overtime eras-
ed Phi Kappa Sigma's 31-30 lead

to be counted.

Bring on OSU!
The Michigan natators are ea-
gerly awaiting Saturday's meet
'with the undefeated Buckeyes af-
ter having beaten a powerful Mi-
chigan State squad 58-47, Monday
night at East Lansing.
The victory marked the fifth
dual meet win for the undefeated
Wolverines.
Dick Hanley and Cy Hopkins,
Michigan's sensational sophomore
combination, accounted for 30 of
the Maize and Blue's points be-
tween them.
Hanley took firsts in the 220-
yd. freestyle, 100-yd. freestyle and
then came back to win the gruel-
ing 440-yd. freestyle; a rare feat
for a swimmer. Hanley set meet
records in the 100 and 220.
The unbeaten Hopkins, who has
set at least one record in every
meet he has participated in this
season, captured firsts in the 200-
yd. freestyle, 200-yd. butterfly, and
the 200-yd. breaststroke. Hop-
kins set pool and meet records in
each of these events,
Michigan swimming coach Gus
Stager pointed out that the team
showed its best form of the year.
"While we had the best individual
swimmers in the meet," Stager
commented, "Michigan State had
the greater depth. Only the top
notch performance of such swim-
mers as Pete Fries and Fritz Mey-
ers enabled us to beat them de-
cisively."
Pete Fries finished third behind'
Hanley and Michigan State's Cap-
tain Jim Clemens in the 220-yd.
freestyle. Fries swam an excel-
lent race keeping close to the
leaders until the finish.

Little Dies
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. OP) --
About 200 people attended funeral
services yesterday for George Ed-
kin Little, executive secretary of
the National Football Hall of
Fame.
Little coached at the University
of Michigan in 1924.
His team finished the season
with a 6-2 record. However, his
two losses will be remembered
longer than his winning record.
The two losses were to Illinois
and Red Grange, 39-14, and to
Iowa, 9-2.
The Illinois game was Grange's
greatest day and the basis for
Grantland Rice's "I Saw a Ghost"
story. The Iowa loss was the last
time the Wolverines were de-
feated by the Hawkeyes.
tans and Hoosiers are currently
knotted in the first spot.
The Wolverines already hold a
win over MSU, that also a one-
pointer, but gained without the
advantage of the home floor which
will be Michigan's on Monday
But a lot can happen before
then, for the $oosiers will be the
guests of Michigan State on Sat-
urday night, and it should pro-
vide more of a clue as to the sig-
nificance of the game on Monday.
Added Satisfaction
Also on Saturday the Wolver-
ines try to end their road game
jinx against Iowa at Iowa City.
If Michigan State wins, it would
mean that the Maize and Blue
could have the satisfaction, at best,
of knocking the Spartans into a
first-place tie on Monday.
But if"State loses, a Michigan
victory on Monday would utterly
crush the Lansing five's hopes for
even so much as a share of the
title.
Pete Tillotson's free throw pro-
vided the margin of victory against
the Hoosiers after their great pivot
man, 6'8" Archie Dees, had put

Victories over Navy Pier, Northwestern
Boost Gymnastics Squad's Title Chances
I
By AL JONESj
The Michigan gymnastics team
is back on the winning side of the
ledger.
Last week the Wolverines were
looking back on three losses in the
past fotur meets, but following Fri-
day and Saturday's action at Navy
Pier and Northwestern, coach
Newt Loken's boys are now riding
the crest of a two-meet victory
streak.
Decisive Wins
Friday night they overwhelned
Illinois of Navy Pier, 73-38, and
the next afternoon they downed
the Wildcats, 63-42. Although
neither of these teams are among
the top-notch gymnastics units of
the midwest, the victories gave
Michigan revenge for two close
defeats by Iowa and Michigan
State the preceding weekend.
This puts the Wolverines at
much better than a .500 average,
having won five and lost three,
and sends them toward their final
opponent, Ohio State here Satur-
day, with an air of victory.
Loken gave all of his performers,
praise, but especially commented
on the work of the high bar and
parallel bar men. Of course, Ed
Gagnier is the top man in both of
these events, however, the other
Wolverines performed so well that
Gagnier, reigning Big Ten champ
in the parallel bars, placed second
to teammate Jim Hayslett in that
event on Friday.
Tumbling Change
Gagnier also won the free exer-
cise and side horse both nights,
and added a first in the tumbling
on Friday.
The Wolverine coach commented
on the fact that at both of theI
meets the tumbling event was run
in a new fashion. Rather than
have each of the contestants go
through his four routines separate-
ly, and have the judges pout
scores on each of them before the
next one competes, each competi-
tor went throagh one series, then
waited for the other five to com-
plete their first series before going
on to the next round.
