SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1957 THE MICHIGAN IiAIT.V f f mil- rM+sY 1 LL' 1jj Vjjt}Li~t ij j Z PAGE FI R Cagers, Swimmers, Matmen To Host Action Today To Attempt Conference Comeback By JIM BAAD Michigan's basketball team will be making attempts at a come- back tonight when they play host to Illinois at Yost Fieldhouse at 8 p.m. After their disheartening "lost weekend," the Wolverines need a victory badly if they want to stay in contention in the muddled but narrowing Conference race. Illinois is presently tied for third with a 5-3 record, Michigan is tied for sixth with 4-4. The advantage Michigan may have had playing Illinois minus been erased with an ankle injury ineligible George BonSalle has to guard Jack Lewis. Bad Sprain The Wolverine playiaker suf- *fered a bad sprain dr.ving in for a lay-up in practice Wednesday and Perigo doubts very mucL that he will be able to use him tonight. Lewis' replacement will be either Jim Shearon or Billy Wright. BonSalle Was once thought to be the Illnii's main scoring punch but without him they still con- tinue to reach triple figures in the allotted forty minutes.- "They play a wide open running game," said coach Bill Perigo. "There'll be a lot of scoring by both sides and defense will be a deciding factor." Perigo is planning to play Il- linois as tightly as possible on defense, in much the same man- ner that Michigan played Minne- sota for the greater part of that game. Need Reserve Strength Perigo figures he has to play it this way, and is depending on his reserves to bolster the first team, as it is very hard for five, men to play this type of defense for a complete contest. A spot where Michigan will def- initely have to improve if Illinois, is to be overcome is in field goal] percentage. The Wolverines could do no better than .300 last week- end and this is not good enough to get by the high scoringfllini. Monday Michigan will meet Purdue at Lafayette. The Wolver- ines won a decisive victory over1 the Boilermakers at their lasti meeting here.7 I Natators Take on Iowa; Hanley, Morris To Duel Grapplers Face Tough Michigan State Contest TWISTED ANKLE-Out of tonight's game with Illinois and pos- sibly the game with Purdue Monday is Jack Lewis, Michigan's top notch playmaker. Big Ten Basketball Teams Amidst Close Title Fight There is small chance'that the! Big Ten basketball race will be any more unscrambled after to- night's action than it was before. Barring upsets, which could easily occur, Indiana, OSU, Illi- nois, MSU, and Purdue could re- main in the same order with just one more game won. All are bay- ing lower division teams. However in this year's Confer- ence,' any team seems capable of winning depending on how they Busch Threat Merely A Jhest ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (/P)- That crack about Frank Lane's being "out on his rump" if the St. Louis Cardinals don't win the National League pennant by 1958 was all in jest, none other than Lane himself said yesterday. The remark was made by the Cards owner, August A. Busch, Jr., at a "Knights of Cauliflower Ear" party in St. Louis Tuesday night. Lane got in from St. Louis Monday and promptly told news-1 men it was he who suggested the+ 1958 date to Busch.1 feel that night. The way things are going, the eventual champion may have as many as four losses. This hasn't happened since 1926 when Indiana, Michigan, Prdue, and Iowa shared honors with re- cords of 8-4. Indiana will face Northwestern in its bid to hold on to the lead. The Wildcats have a 2-8 mark, but this team of sophomores has the potential and is now experi-. enced enough to come up with a major upset. Ohio State should have less trouble than its close rivals tonight as it plays host to Wisconsin. Illinois and Michigan State, shar- ing third place, will have a tougher time of it, as they take on Michi- gan and Iowa. Purdue, however, has the great- est chance of being knocked off. They have been steadily dropping and will have to play probably the toughest of the second division group, Minnesota. If major upsets are pulled, the general turmoil of every team for itself will again be at hand. If things go according to plan, how- ever, the Conference will at -east be well divided into two pretty distinct halves, the contenders and the also-rans. By AL WINKELSTEIN One of the top sprint races of the season will highlight today's home swimming meet between two of the leading contenders for Big Ten honors, Michigan and Iowa. Because of the hockey game later in' the afternoon the meet will start at 1:30 at the Varsity pool. Tickets will go on sale at 12:15 at the pool. Admission is 60 cents for students and a dollar for the general public. Two of the nation's top sopho- mcres, Michigan's Dick Hanley and Iowa's Gary Morris, who have been rivals since high school, are scheduled to face each other in the 100-yard freestyle event. The two might also battle in another race, either the 50-yard freestyle or the 220-yard freestyle. Top Sophomore Morris is rated as one of the top sophomore swimmers in the na- tion. While in high school, he set national 20-yard course records for the 40, 100, 200 and 220-yard freestyle. In his first year of com- petition, he has been nothing short of sensational for the Hawk- eyes. However, Morris has never been able to beat Hanley in any of their previous meetings. Both met in high school, in a meet in which Hanley took top honors. Since then both have shown +,remen- dous improvement and both are up for the coming race. Their meeting should be one of the highlights of the swimming sea- son. Leading Contender Iowa is rated as one of the leading contenders for Big Ten honors this season. In addition to Morris, they have a strong team, which is given a good chance to win the Conference championship. The Hawkeye's just had a 10 straight dual meet victory record broken by IllinoiU, and they will undoubtably be out to start a new + SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR JIM BAAD streak going at Michigan's ex- pense. They lost to the Illini by only a single point, after winning their first two meets of the sea-, son. The Wolverine divers will have their first big test in dual meet competition this season, as Iowa has two of th3 better divers in the Conference, Take Quick and Ken Miner: Quick, who wos good last season has improved a great deal, and should prove a real! threat to Michigan. Another pair of top events of the meet should be the breast and butterfly races which will pit a pa", of top sophomores. Michj- gmn's Cy Ho .kns who has ibeeii ore of the Wol' erines' top swim- mers this season, and Iowa's Kim Austin, who has looked very good so far this season. In addition to these two, Al Maten, a newcomer to the Maize and Blue is given a chance to place second if not better. Iowa should pick up valuable points in the 50-yard freestyle, unless Michigan s coach Gus Sta- ger elects t'o go with Hanley in this event. The short sprint races are the Wolverines' weakest point without Hanimly, and Iowa should be able to :' a;t r}.ie on this. With the logs of Lincoln I'Iur- ring, Olympic backstrokes, the Hawkeyes hare been forced to move Earl Ellis, one of the Ce~n- ference top aistance free stylers into the backstroke, Ellis has made the change quite success- fully, and should put the Michi- gan backstrokers, Ted Reissing and Don Adamski to a severe test. In addition to looking to pre- serve their unbeaten dual meet record, the Wolverines will be out to avenge a 48-45 loss to the Hawkeyes last season. LARRY MURRAY -... out of action 'M' Rifle Team To Compete Here with Indiana, Illinois The Michigan Rifle team will see Conference action today as it plays host to Illinois and Indiana in a triangular meet to be held at the ROTC rifle range. The meet consists of two rounds. The first will be shot at 9:30 a.m. and the second at 1:00 p.m. A round consists of ten shots by each individual in each of the three positions; prone, kneeling and standing. Potential shooters for the Wol- verines are Jan Gogulski, Dick Roemer, Tom Athanas, Roberta Gubbins, Bill Woodruff, Tim Hays, Bill Zayanckowski, and Dave Lanham. From these eight, Michigan's recently - rejuven- ated wrestling squad faces its sec- ond major challenge in eight days when it hosts Michigan State at 3 p.m. today at Yost Field House. Bolstered by the return to com- petition of Max Pearson, Mike Rodriguez, and Steve Zervas, the Wolverine grapplers upended strong Iowa, 14-12, last Saturday, thus giving rise to hopes of a Michigan victory over the highly- regarded Spartans today. But these hopes have been some- what lessened as Larry Murray, recuperating from injuries incur- red before the Iowa meet, is still unable to compete. Michigan State, which coach Cliff Keen regards as "the team to watch" at the Big Ten meet March 8 and 9, brings to Ann Ar- bor a 5-1 dual meet record. Sig- nificantly, Iowa owns the only victory over the Spartans. Five reasons for the Spartans' mat success are Jer'ry Hoke, Ken Maidlow, Jim Ferguson, a Don Stroud, and LeRoy Fladseth, all of whom have compiled outstand- ing competitive records. Hoke, who has won six out of eightkmatches, willtangle with Michigan's Pearson in what should prove one of the more interesting of today's matches. Wolverine heavyweight Zervas will attempt to end the undefeated record of Maidlow, who has won four matches and drawn one. Ferguson, who owns a 7-1 rec- ord, faces defending Big Ten 177- pound champion Jack Marchello in one of today's top encounters. Marchello will try to uphold his distinction as Michigan's only un- defeated grappler. Wrestling at 123 pounds, Stroud also possesses a 7-1 record. He will go after scrappy Dan Deppe in an important match. In other matches, Michigan's Karl Lutomski will grapple with once-defeated Fladseth in the 177- pound encounter, and defending Big Ten 157-pound titlist Mike Rodriguez will engage the Spart- ans' Walt Jones or Cris Coniglioa Daily Classifieds Bring Results six will be chosen to participate in the shooting and then the five highest scores only will count. Only member of the team who has not seen action with the Michigan contingent before is Zayanckowski. He comes out of the army with a fine shooting reputation, however.
