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.

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.

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 Montreal Wins Chnampionship MONTREAL (A - The Mon- treal Canadiens clinched the Na- tional Hockey League champion- ship last night, defeating Toron- to 4-1 ,for their tenth title since the league was organized in 1917.' 'M' CAPTAIN SEEKS REPEAT: Six Matmen Defend Big Ten Titles great Mike Rodriguez and Illinois' Larry Ten Pas. The Wolverines at present have two outstanding wrestlers that will be after crowns they have held previously. Captain Max Pearson will defend his 130-lb. title, and John Marchello will at- tempt to regain the 167-lb. crown he won in 1956. Two Wolverines Pearson. has wrestled many matches at 137-lb. this year, and consequently has'lost a few. How- ever, he was back down at 130-lb. for the Michigan State meet last weekend and defeated previously undefeated Dan Stroud, his chief challenger for the;: Conference title, 9-2. Marchello Unbeaten Marchello Is currently unde-- feated, and 'has been Michigan's outstanding wrestler this winter. Marchello placed second in the Big Ten last year, behind gradu- ated Ken Kraft of Northwestern. This should give him a clear shot at the championship this season. The two other Big Teri grapplers that will defend crowns are 137-lb. Ralph Rieks and 177-1b. Gary Kurdelmeier, both of Iowa. Liberty and Stadium Blvd.' Ann Arbor, Mich.
