was protecting a small
lead going into the last ten min-
utes of the game when George
Lee was ejected for elbowing.
Perigo inserted Tarrier in the
lineup and he immediately re-
sponded by grabbing several im-
portant rebounds and sinking a
crucial basket.
In his sophomore year Tarrier
played fairly regularly, averaging
eight points per game. This year,
however, he has been used to sub-
stitute for either M. C. Burton,
George Lee, and Pete Tillotson.
Sometimes when he thinks the
situation demands it, Perigo will
send in Tarrier along with his
other two forwards in order to
gain more strength under, the
boards,
Tarrier, who resides in Cleve-
land, Ohio, is also quite a football
player. In high school he made
all-state in football as well as in
basketball.
Tarrier's football prowess was
noticeable this year as he, along
with other basketball players, Pete
Tillotson and Jack Lewis, led their
fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, to the
I-M football title.
'Biggest Thrill'
Tarrier said, "the biggest thrill
of my three years on the basket-
ball team was participating in last
year's second victory over Michi-
gan State."
This game is well remembered
by Michigan fans, as it was a game
in which Michigan ended Michi-
gan State's ten-game winning
streak and forced them to settle
fora tie in the Big Teri basketball
race.

The Michigan gymnastics team
hosts the Spartans of Michigan
State tonight at 8 p.m. in the I-M
building.
This clash between two of the
biggest gym powers in the midwest
should furnish a colorful and ex-
citing meet. The Wolverine gym-
nasts, who are unbeaten so far
this year, should receive some
tough competition from the visi-
tors.
The ;Spartans have a powerful
squad which has lost only one
meet this year. Their lone defeat

was handed to them by Illinois,
defending Big Ten champions.
Close Meet
Last year Michigan State edged
the Wolverines by six points In a
very close meet. Tonight's meet
should be just as close with Michi-
gan ruling as a slight favorite
despite the fact that two of their
stars, Captain Ed Gagnier and
Ed Cole, will be missing with in-
juries. -
Aside from their two injured
stars, the Michigan gym squad is
in good physical shape for the
meet. Coach Newt Loken is hoping
for top performances from his
quartet of all-around gymnasts-
Wolfgang Dozauer, Al Stall, Nino
Marion and Jim Hayslett.
Loken Hopeful
Loken is also hopeful that
tumbler Bill Skinner will regain
the winning form he showed in
the meet ,against Central Michi-
gan.
Michigan State is strongest in
the high bar event where they
have Stan Tarshis, the junior na-
tional" champion, entered. On the
trampoline Dick Kimball, Chuck
Clarkson, and Frank Newman will
compete against Spartan ace Tom
Temple.
The rope climbing event, which
is both colorful and crowd pleas-
ing, is an added ,attraction on to-
night's program. Wolverines Al
Stall and Dana Larson will exhibit
their skill in this event.
In addition to the intense rivalry
between the two teams, there Is
quite a rivalry between the two
coaches, Loken and George Szy-
pula of Michigan State. They com-
peted against each other in their
college days, Loken performing for
Minnesota and Szypula for Tem-
ple.
In 1942, Loken was the NCAA
all around gymnast. This was the
same year that Szypula' was the
national tumbling champion. Both
of these men have a great influ-
ence in the world of collegiate
gymnastics. Szypula is the presi-
dent of the National Association
of 'Gymnastic Coaches. Loken is
the secretary-treasurer.
Despite their many duties, these
two still manage to find time to
compete against each other in
senior gymnastic events.

Mickey Mantle signed a New
York Yankee contract for $72,000,
third highest among active base-
ball players, yesterday and con-
fidently announced:
"This will be my jackpot year."
Mantle and a teammate, pitcher
Bob Turley, came to terms in con-
ferences with Lee MacPhail, the,
Yankees' personnel director, at St.
Petersburg, Fla. Turley signed for
a reported $20,000 leaving only
two Yankees, first baseman Bill
Skowron and pitcher Tom Stur-
divant, not on the satisfied list.
One of Mantle's chief rivals for
American League slugging honors,
outfielder Roy Sievers, reached
agreement with the Washington
Senators for $36,000, half Mantle's
figure.,
ALL-EVENT MAN-Al Stall is one of the four gymnasts that
Coach Newt Loken is depending on to earn the points to defeat

"Ift's a meal in itself"
By AL JONES
When all of the Big -Ten wrest-
lers are assembled in Champaign
on March 7 and 8 to vie for the
Conference championships, there
will be six grapplers hoping to
successfully defend titles won last
year.
These six, and a few other stars,
will -be the principal crowd-
pleasers in the two-day mat ex-
travaganza.
Perhaps the most highly fa-
vored of the contestants is huge
Bob Norman, Illinois heavyweight.
The 235-lb. giant was both Con-
ference and NCAA champion last
season and is undefeated this
year..
Double Champion
Another double champion is
Minnesota's rugged Richard Muel-
ler, a standout at the other end
of the scale. He will be shooting
to retain his 123-lb. crown, and is
likely to add his second National
title later in March.
Mueller's toughest opponent will
be Iowa sophomore Lariy Moser,
whi is undefeated in dual-meet
competition. Moser edged past the
Gopher when'Iowa ended Minne-
sota's dual-meet victory string at
20 back in January.
Undoubtedly the outstanding
match of the tournament will be
the 147-lb. clash betwe n Werner
Holzer of Illinois and Simon Rob-
erts of Iowa. The tough Illini is
defending Big Ten titlist, while
the Hawkeye is reigning NCAA.
champion.
Old Rivals
Holzerdefeated Roberts in the
Conference finals last year, only
to 'have the decision reversed in
the NCAA meet.
Holzer is perhaps the stronger
of the two, but Roberts is ex-
tremely fast and tricky. The
match between them, presuming
that neither is upset by another
entrant, should remind fans of
former battles between Michigan's
