"The reasons for this sweep were
many, Gagnier says. "First, the
Russians practice only the Olym-
pic events. These include still
rings. side horse, free calesthentics,

never saw a single Russian do
;anything other than part of his
routine for the Games. They do
tumbling, flying rings, or trampo-
line, and therefore are better on
tbe remaining events."
"One terrific advantage that
they have is being subsidized by
.the government. They spend al-
most all of their time practicing,
since it isn't necessary to work or
study during the period previous
to the Olympic competition. As a

dition for the Games."

CHARLES GUIGNEBERT
Despite the hundreds of volumes, since 1863 there have been but two seri-
ous, critical, and objective historical studies on Jesus. Both of the writers
were French - Goguel and Charles Guignebert, Professor of the History
of Christianity in the Sorbonne.
This edition includes a new preface by Dr. R. H. Pfeiffer of Harvard Di-
vinity School. Of the work itself Reinhold Niebuhr (whose point of view is
not especially upheld by Guignebert) writes: "There is no book which will
give the interested layman a more comprehensive account . . . and a fairer
estimate of conflicting evidence."

CHICAGO (A)-The NCAA Tele-
vision Committee yesterday agreed
on a 1957 plan for telecasting col-
lege football games, but its nature
will not be disclosed until it is
put in proper language.
Last fall, the NCAA had a com-
bination of national and regional
TV games, a program which the
1956 TV Committee said was the
best received since the NCAA's
control program started in 1951.
This plan may be followed again,
but the committee at its meeting
concluded yesterday had discussed
10 different plans. One with strong
support of the Big Ten called for
the NCAA to set certain basic
rules with the individual schools
and conferences to operate on their
own.

Newcomers,
Depth Aid
Better balance might be cited
as one reason for an improved
Michigan showing in the Confer-
ence basketball wars.
Last season at this time, a lion's
share of the cagers' efforts was
being carried by Ron Kramer, but
help from the sophomore class has
lightened the load for the big
senior.
Kramer doesn't even lead the
squad in scoring, a fact which ap-
peared tG be extremely unlikely at
the season's outset.
Instead, the versatile George
Lee, with an average of 15.86
points per game, tops the squad
in points, followed by Kramer,
with 13.15. But the balance is in-
dicated by the fact that neither
of these figures is really world-
shaking.
On the other hand, Minnesota,
conquerors of the Wolverines at
Minneapolis last Saturday and
Ann Arbor guests tomorrow, de-
pends a great deal on two of its
members-center Jed Dommeyer
and forward George Kline, both
steady 20-point men. Kline, at
6'4", is the tallest man in the
Gophers' starting five.
