IN BASKETBALL:
Kramer Sets Scoring Mark

By AL JONES
As in the past, the 1957 Big Ten
gymnastics picture is centered
around one team, a powerpacked
Illinois squad.
When the Conference meet gets
underway this afternoon at 1:30
at the I-M Building, there is little
reason for not expecting the Il-
lini to annex their eighth straight
Big Ten crown.
All of the squads arrived in
Ann Arbor either yesterday or
this morning, and the coaches met
last night for dinner at the Elks
Club and discussed plans for the
meet in a session at the I-M
Building later in the evening.
Illinois Favored
However, . there being little
home-meet advantage in the gym
sport, Michigan Coach, Newt Lo-
ken expresses no hope that the
home settin gwill bring a Michi-
gan victory. Remembering Illinois'
63-49 conquest of the Wolverines
earlier this year, he states that
"there is little reason to believe
that the Illini won't goon to re-
peat as both Big Ten and NCAA
titlists."
Since a narrow defeat at the
hands of the Wolverines last sea-

son, Illinois has been undefeated
in all competition. This season
they have overpowered all dual-
meet opposition, and are now
ready to fulfill Loken's prophecy
in the two big meets.
Spartans Second?
Trailing behind Illinois in the
race for Conference title honors
are three teams,. Michigan State,
Iowa, and Michigan. State rates
as the top contender for second
place, having downed the other
two by close scores. Iowa would
rate in third place, since they
edged the Wolverines by one point
a few weeks back.
This would place Michigan as
the fourth team in line for the
big Conference battle. However,
Loken and his gymnasts feel that
they are better than the record
indicates.
Gagnier Featured
The Wolverines will be looking
for first place finishes from Ed-
Gagnier, defending champion on
the parallel bars, and Ed Cole, a
very fine trampolinist. Nick Wiese
should finish high in the flying
rings, and Gagnier will be chal-
lenging in the high bar, side horse
and all-around events.

One of the many defending
champions who will be compet-
ing in the Big Ten gymnastics
meet at the I-M Building this
afternoon, Don Leas (above) of
Michigan State was last year's
titlist on the flying rings.
Gym Tickets ...
Tickets for the Big Ten gym-
nastics meet to be held today
and tomorrow at the I-M Building
will cost 75 cents for students,
or one dollar otherwise.
The preliminaries will be held
at 1:30 this afternoon and 7:30
this evening, with the finals to-
morrow afternoon at 2.

Special to The Daily
MINNEAPOLIS _ Ohio State,
defending Big Ten titlist and
Michigan got off to fast starts
last night in the opening round
of the Conference Swimming
Championships at Cooke Hall.
One event - the 1500 meter
freestyle -- was. held and the
tBuckeye's Jerry MNamee won it,
to the surprise of no one in 19:08.3.
Fritz Myers and Pete Fries of
the Wolverines took third and
fifth respectively to give their
squad the temporary runner up
spot in team competition with six
points.
Woolsey Doesn't Enter
Ohio State is first with seven,
solely on the basis of McNamee's
performance. The big surprise of
the evening was the fact that In-
diana's Olympic star, Bill Woolsey
did not enter the 1500. He was ex-
pected to capture the event in a
breeze.
Eight final events will be held

tonight f o 11 o w i n g qualifying
rounds whichawill be held
throughout the day. Six events
are scheduled for tomorrow night.
The 1500 was run off in three
separate heats and the places
were determined solely on times.
Myers won the first heat in
19:46.8, but the real contest of the
race was the battle for second in
this heat between Fries and
Iowa's Earl Ellis.
Both men had equal times -
20:05.6 -- but the judges gave
the nod to Fries.
Schutt Edges Myers
The winner of the second heat,
Northwestern's Paul Schutt took
second place in the final tabula-
tion. His time was just three
tenths of a second better than
Myers'.*
Woolseyas withdrawal could be
interpreted as a hope in the

Hoosier's part that they might
win the 400 yard MedleyRelay,
with Woolsey as anchor man, and
that he will also be fresh for the
220 yard and 440 yard freestyle.
Michigan State is considered a
shoo-in for the relay events.
Coach Gus Stager was neither
disappointed nor overly optimis-
tic. He expected Myers to take
third, but had seen an outside
chance for second. He considered
Fries' performance a. pleasant
surprise however.
Michigan's only other entry in
the event, Harry Wehner failed
to place in the top six. Fourth spot
went to Warren Whittaker of Il-
linois, who finished only 4.3 sec-
onds ahead of Fries and Ellis.
Good Start!
