Wolverine Swimmers r
Trounce Purdue Squad
i>- I
By CARL RISEMAN
Purdue's undermanned swim
team opposed Michigan in the
Wolverine's only swim meet during
the final exam break.
Michigan defeated the Purdue
squad, 63-42, on Jan. 31, relying
mainly on the strength of its re-
serves.
Purdue's squad was able to
muster a meager three first places
against a Michigan squad that saw
few of its regular point-getters
swimming.t
Threaten Record
Michigan concentrated its ef-
forts on setting a new NCAA mark
in the 400-yd. medley relay. The
Wolverine quartet, composed of
Dick Hanley, swimming the back-
stroke for the first time, Cy Hop-
kins doing the breaststroke, Tony
Tashnic swimming the third lap
with the butterfly and freestyler
Carl Wooley swimming the anchor
100, fell three-tenths of a second
short of the NCAA record of 3:49.1
held .by Yale.
The time of 3:49.4 stands as a
new varsity and pool record. Coach
Gus Stager is confident that the
squad will better the mark in the
near future.
Tashnic, Pete Fries and Lee
Fitzhugh were the outstanding
performers in the Purdue meet.
Tashnic, besides swimming a
leg of the record setting medley
relay team, also set an individual
mark in the 200-yd. butterfly. The
fleet sophomore churned the mark
in 2:10.4 to establish a new pool
record.
Fries was also outstanding,
swimming the 100-yd. freestyle in
a surprising :52.7 and finishing a
close second to Cy Hopkins in the
200-yd. individual medley.
Double Winner
Fitzhugh was the only double
winner in the meet winning both
the 440-yd. freestyle and the 220.
1 Stager was "very pleased" with
all three swimmers.
Michigan's other winners were
Hopkins in the 200 - individual
medley, Tony Turner in diving and
Al Matin in the 200-yd. breast-
stroke, while Purdue was able to
get winning performances from
Maurie Woodworth in the 50-yd.
freestyle, Walt Eversman in the
200-yd. backstroke, and eked out
a victory in the 400-yd. freestyle
relay.
"Keep in Shape"
The Purdue meet, and also the
almost daily practices that were
held, enabled Michigan "to keep
in shape" for the grueling schedule
that looms in the near future.
Tomorrow night the team jour-
neys to Ames, Iowa, to face a
tough Iowa State team, followed
by a meet on Saturday against
Iowa at Iowa City.

Michigan's wrestling team came
ito its winning ways with a storm
ast weekend.
Coach Cliff Keen's charges
roved a rugged host Friday as
[iey overpowered Purdue, 23-7,
nd were even tougher Saturday
t Northwestern as they over-
helmed the Wildcats, 25-3.
Previously the Wolverines had
alen to Pittsburgh in a non-
eague match, and had been beat-
n in Big Ten competition by
Indiana and Illinois.-
Weekend Opponents
This Friday and Saturday will
Lnd Keen's squad facing two more
pponents, Minnesota and non-
onference Iowa State, both away.
Both Keen and assistant coach
;harlie Anderson felt that the
eam was greatlyimproved in last
veekend's matches..
"We only lost two matches over
he:weekend, and all of our wrest-
ers are improving. Many of them
,re gaining the experience they
lave needed, and should continue
o improve," Keen said.
Several of the Wolverines were
double-winners in the Purdue and
Northwestern meets. Max Pearson
at 137 lbs. and heavyweight Steve
Zervas each had a decision and a
pin over their opponents, while
Larry Murray at 130 lbs. and Jack
Marchello at 167 lbs. registered
two decisions each.
Pearson gained the only pin of
the Purdue meet, as he finished
off Bob Worgin in 1:38 of the
first period. He defeated Bob yWil-
son of the Wdcats, 6-2, the next
night to continue his perfect dual-
meet record.
Late Pin
Zervas got his pin Saturday
against NU's heavyweight Jack
Siatta in the last minute of the
match,
Mike Hoyles, wrestling at 123
lbs., was the only other Michigan
grappler to register a fall. He pin-
ned Smith Holt of NU at 4:58,
and was granted a forfeit in the
Purdue meet.
The two meets this weekend fig-
ure to be tougher than those with
Purdue and Northwestern. Minne-
sota is the reigning Conference
champion, It edged the Wolverines
55-54 in last winter's champion-
ships.
Iowa State, although not a mem-
ber of the Big Ten, is one of the
strongest wrestling schools in the
country. It was third in last year's
NCAA finals, and has a reputation
for always sporting a tough squad.

By STAN BALAZY
Michigan wrestling coach Cliff
een has invaded a new field of
ideavor.
Keen, long recognized as one of
merica's finest wrestling coaches,
in his 32nd year at the Wol-
rine grappling healm. Making
aximum use of this great fund
experience, Keen has designed
new type of headgear which is'
,pidly replacing the old type on
any squads in collegiate circles.
Earlier Keen invented an im-
oved knee pad which is molded
fit the knee more snugly. Meet-
ig success on this initial ven-
ire, Keen was spurred on and
)me up with the new headgear.
Ear Protection
The invention provides maxi-
.um protecftion to the wearer's
ors. Unlike the old style head-
ear, the new one is adjustable to
ny size. With a few simple ad-
istments it can be made to follow
ze contour of the individual's
ead. This adjustability is perhaps
the outstanding innovation of
Keen's new design.
Another major improvement ap-
pears in the construction of the
earpiece, which is designed to
cover the ear completely. The old-
er helmets had a plastic earpiece
which caused great discomfort
when pressed against the ear.
Problem Solved
Keen has solved this problem.
His new helmet eliminates this
possible cause of injury by having
the earpiece covered by "pesco-
lite, " a material possessing re-
markable shock-absorbing quali-
ties.
The new headgear is made
primarily of plastic and pescolite
and is completely washable.
The Wolverine mat squad, which
is equipped with this new head-
gear, is unanimous in declaring
that it is a major improvement
over the old style.
It appears that Keen's venture
into the field of design will be a
successful one.
