THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE ImM SPORTLIGHT .by Pain Borman Michigan's Intramural standings are reminiscent of those of the American League in that both have seen one team dominaing first place year after year. In the junior circuit it's the New York Yankees while in Ann Arbor Sigma Phi-Epsilon, Nu Sigma Nu, Gomberg House and the Seldom Seen Kids fill the bill as leaders in their respective leagues. Although this season is far from over, it seems as though it will take quite a fight to dislodge any of these teams from first place. If it is to be done, however, it had better begin soon. And there will be no better opportunity than today and Saturday in the I-M indoor track finals for the challengers to capture valuable points. The Sig Eps, winner of eight of the last ten titles, continue to 1 dominate the Social Fraternity League with 755 points. They currently hold a 50-point margin over second place, Lambda Chi Alpha, while Phi Delta Theta is in third place with 666 points. The Phi Delts managed to tie for first in last year's -track meet and if they or LCA can cop a first place finish Saturday over the Sig Eps, it would move them within striking point of first place. Definitely Professional.. . In the Professional Fraternity loop, the job of dethroning Nu Sigma Nu will be next to impossible. With former Big Ten stars like Tad Sanford, Harry Allis, Froncie Gutman and Dan Cline in their lineup, the Nu Sigs would probably give any of Michigan's varsity teams a good run for its money in almost any sport. Psi Omega is closest to the Nu Sigs, yet still a long way off, trailing by almost 70 points. The other two I-M loops seem to boast better chances for an upset. In the Residence Halls, Cooley has come *up from its seventh place finish last year and is currently right on the heels of first place Gomberg. A meager five points separate the two teams and if the men from East Quad can pull the upset, it will be the first time in five years that the Big Red have not held the top slot. Once again the Independent League has a spectacular two-team fight between the Seldom Seen Kids and the Evans Scholars. Last year the battle was carried right to the wire with the Kids winning. They currently lead the Scholars by only 18 points and it looks as though every point will count in another of their photo finishes. Student-Faculty Rivalry .. . When the week of March 3 rolls around, the teams will take time out from battling each other and steer their vengeance towards the faculty in the annual student-faculty battle. There will be a total of 13 different events including volleyball, squash and handball and if a student should happen to be pitted against one of his former teachers, watch out! , The week of March 3 will also usher in the Intramural all-campus bowling tournament at the Union which will feature teams competing withing leagues as well as student-faculty rivalry.

By far the most interesting con- test of these saw Lambda Chi Al- pha defeat Sigma Alpha Mu in overtime, 27-26. The Sammies had fought back from a 12-10 halftime'deficit to go ahead, 23- 21, with minutes remaining in the game. But Lambda Chi took the lead for the third time before a free throw tied it up for the Sammies, 25-25, to send the game into overtime. With the score 26-26,, Jack Winter sank a foul shot to win the game for Lambda Chi. Easy Wins Chi Psi, Sigma Chi and SAE all had little difficulty In beat- ing their previously unbeaten op- ponents. Chi Psi outplayed Kappa Sigma in both halves to win, 33- 13. Sigma Chi coasted to a 35-17 win over Sigma Nu, and SAE whipped Alpha Tau Omega, 29-19. Delta Tau Delta also encount- ered little. trouble from Beta Theta Pi, winning 29-20. A minor upset occurred when ZBT was dropped from the ranks of the unbeaten by Chi Phi, 36-12. Sigma Phi Epsilon remained undefeated with a victory over Tau Kappa Epsilon, 33-18, after leading, 17-8, at the half. Mike Silber scored 16 points, best individual effort of the night, to lead Phi Sigma Delta to a 30-19 victory over Sigma Phi. Joe Drasler scored 14 for Theta Xi as his team romped to a 38-14 vic- tory over Phi Kappa Tau. In other games last night: Del- ta Upsilon downed Alpha Epsilon Pi, 36-16; Theta Chi beat Pi Lambda Phi, 19-12; Delta Sigma I-M Ping-Pong Chicago House defeated Adams House for the I-M Resi- dence Halls Ping-Pong Cham- pionships. Francis Lemery, Rudy Hernando and Vee Rade- baugh won for the victors. Phi defeated Delta Chi, 23-9, and Alpha Delta Phi dropped Zeta Psi, 26-19. Phi Gamma Delta beat Phi Kappa Psi, Psi U downed Tri- angle, Tau Delta Phi dropped Phi Epsilon Pi, and Phi Sigma Kappa downed Acacia, all on forfeits. In Faculty basketball, Sweepers defeated Gamma Delta, 36-30, and Michigan Co-op forfeited to Med Sox in a scheduled independ- ent contest. By GARY GUS SIN Of all gymnastics events, the one which is most appreciated by spectators is the trampoline. Thus, spectators at Michigan gymnastics meets are fortunate in being able to watch one of the best trampolinists in the nation, and six or seven of the best in the Big Ten.' Of course, they won't see them all in one meet, since the limit on entries in any one event is three. But regardless of who is entered, whether he be Ed Cole, last year's Big Ten Champion, Dick Kimball, Jack Eckle, Frank Newman, Chuck Clarkson, or Al Stall, the Michigan fan is in for a treat. Exemplary of the skill of Michi- gan trampolinists are their per- formances in the team's tvro meets this season. In the first against Minnesota, Clarkson, Newman, and Eckle swept first, second, and third respectively. Cole and Kim- ball, the team's top two trampo- linists, could not compete due to conflict with a swimming meet In East Lansing., Against Central Michigan last Saturday] a divided Wolverine squad combined to take the first five places. Cole is undoubtedly an out- standing performer. A top-flight diver, he started trampolining when he was sophomore as \prac- tice for his diving. In just two years, Cole developed into a tram- poline star, now practicing tram- poline almost five hours a day. Comparing trampolining to div- ing, Cole noted that "the tram- poline takes much more endurance than people realize. In diving, you have one dive to perform with a long time to rest in between dives. But here you have a long routine with only 20 seconds rest between routines." Gymnastics Coach Newt Loken was somewhat uncertain about whom he would enter in the Big Ten meet in March, but was not unhappy with the task of deciding. I UNORTHODOX WRESTLER: Michigan's Marchello Stays Unbeaten By AL SINAI Michigan's only undefeated wrestler this year, Jack Marchello, is described by Coach Cliff Keen as "The man with the unorthodox style who stills gets things done." Marchello, himself, is inclined to agree with Keen. "I don't really wrestle," he says. "I just call it passive resistance." Regardless of what you call' it, Marchello has certainly usede it to great V advantage in the years he has wrestled. He first wrestled for Thorton High School in Midlothaen, Illi- nois, where he became the 175-1b. Illinois State Champion. However, at the time Marchello weighed S only 160 pounds. Football Star Besides being a top wrestler in high school, Marchello was All- Chicago area guard in football. In fact, the reason Marchello came to the University of Michigan was that he received a football schol- arship. "The trouble was that I was too light for a guard and I got kicked around too much," says Marchello, "So I decided to turn to wrestling up here." In his sophomore year Marchello won the ,Big Ten 177-lb. Cham- pionship and last year he was run- nerup in the 167-lb. division of the Big Ten. m .,_. Because of a heavy scholastic load the first semester of this year, Marchello wasn't sure wheth- er he would be able to wrestle. However, he caught up on his studies during the Christmas re- cess, and started working out early in January. Marchello is in Architecture and Design, majoring in Product De- sign. He is a senior as far as eligi- bility is concerned. However, he doesn't have enough credit hours to graduate until next year. "I would like to go into free lance produce designing, design- ing athletic equipment," said Mar- chello. "But I guess that's the extent of my sports interest after I graduate." Marchello's roommate, assistant Coach Charlie Anderson, who him- self wrestled several years for the Wolverines says of Marchello, "He's a likable, easy going fellow who has somewhat of a biting wit, but he can always cheer everyone up."
