By PAUL BORMAN '
Turned down when he first ap-
plied to participate in the pole
vault at his high school, Mamon
Gibson came back the next year
and since then has been a vastly
improving vaulter.
Gibson, Michigan's top vaulterI
this year, recently hit a high of
13'6%" in the Illinois meet. This
height places Gibson as the fourth
highest pole vaulter in Michigan
history.
As a freshman in high school,
12-year-old Mamon weighed u81
lbs. and was 5'1" tall when he ap-f
proached Charles Harvey, his
coach at Tilden High in Chicago.
After loo~king over the meager,
proportions of Gibson, the ccacb
suggested that he wait a year be-
fore going out for track.
He waited anxiously, grew a
little,, put on some weight and
came back the next year. He made
the team as a pole vaulter and as
a high jumper. By the time his
senior year rolled around Gibson
captured the city meet by vaulting
12'52".
Possible High Jumper
As a jumper he was also good.
His best height in high schoolc
was 6'1". This height would have
won him third place in the recent1
Michigan-Illinois track meet, and
if he was needed by Coach DonJ
Canham he could probably ap-
pear as a high jumper.
The uninspiring freshman of six
years ago is now a sophomore in
Physical Education and hopes to
attain a masters degree in public
health administration.
At 18, Mamon is 5'10" tall and
wegihs only 140. It is not surpris-
One meet to go and then the Big
Ten championships.
That is the present situation
facing the Michigan gymnastics
squad. They will meet Ohio State'
at the I-M Sports Building this
Saturday at 4 p.m., and will play
host to the other Conference teams
the following Friday and Satur-
day.
Wolverine Coach Newt Loken is
presently thinking in terms of the
meet with the Buckeyes, but he
and his squad are also preparing
for the Conference meet.
The Buckeyes should stage some
very formidable opposition to Lo-
ken's boys on Saturday. They
have beaten many of the same Big
Ten squads that Michigan has de-
feated, and on paper are a match
for the Wolverines.
Harper Featured
One of the most colorful gym-
nasts in the Conference will be in
.Ann Arbor this weekend with the
Ohio State squad. He is Don Harp-
er, an Olympic diver, and a tram-
poline and tumbling artist with
the gym team.
Capable of a championship ei-
ther in diving or trampoline, he
has chosen to dive in the Big Ten
Championships, and will be per-
forming his final trampoline ex-
hibition of the season here Satur-
day.
The entire Michigan squad is
back in good shape, with Nick
Wiese, the latest injured member
of the team ready for usual com-
petition again.
The Wolverines standing in the
Big Ten will be more clearly de-
termined after this meet. At pres-
ent they rank fourth behind Illi-
nois, Iowa, and Michigan ' State,
since they have been beaten by all
three of those squads in dual
meets.
If Michigan downs the Buck-
eyes, the chances for a better
than fourth finish will be raised,
since the losses to Iowa and Mi-
chigan State were by narrow mar-
gins.
PHOENIX, Ariz. tP)-Bill Sarni,
New York Giants' catcher, suf-
fered a heart attack in Mon-
day's opening workout of spring
training, and doctors say he will
never play baseball again. Sar-
ni, 29, was taken to the hospi-
tal after Monday's workout with
a supposed muscle spasm. Doc-
tors have since become con-
vinced that the catcher suffered
a moderate coronary attack.
MAMON GIBSON-Michigan's top pole vaulter this year who
hit a high vault of 13'6%" in the Illinois meet.
h!:
ing why he is called "skinny"
around the fieldhouse by his
coaches and teammates.
Gibson says that he chose
Michigan because he wanted to
go away from home, but not too
far away.
No Spare Time
Mamon says that he doesn't
have much spare time because
of his studies and athletic pur-
suits, but if he gets any he is
most likely to listen to jazz re-
cordings.
If Uncle Sam is gracious and
lets him finish school and settle
down, he hopes to get a job per-
taining to community health
problems.
