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. . \ ,r 1 9 fI . - 11 Sport Shorts A Skiers Lose In a meet Sunday with Michi- gan State, the Wolverine skiers lost by only 1.3 seconds out of a total of over 600.
