Y Evans Scholars Stay Unbeaten, 48-18; Nu Sig Nu also Wins in I-M Cage Acti( 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. .._.. °"_ i 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.

In other games of importance on the schedule, Nu Sigma Nu, Ph Delta Phi, Alpha Chi Sigma, and Phi Alpha Kappa qualified for the first place playoffs in the profes- sional fraternity division.

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.
