Four different gymnabts took
first places last night to pace
Michigan to a 69Y2-42%2 victory
over Navy Pier before an over-
flowing crowd ,in the Intramural
gym.
The gymnastics team will host
Wisconsin this afternoon at 2:30.
In the meet last night, Barry
Feinberg, Dick Kimball, and Nino
Marion captured firsts outright
and Marion and Wolfgang Do-
zauer tied for another as the Wol-
verines' overall team strength
accounted, for victory.
Although Navy Pier placed first
in three events, the Illinois school
outscored Michigan -in only one,
the side horse in which it took a
third and a fourth in addition to
one of its firsts.
Opponent Stars
The outstanding performance
of the evening was a brilliant ef-
fort in tumbling by Navy Pier's
freshman, Al Barasch. The per-
formance earned 95 out of a pos-
sible 100 points and the praise of
Michigan coach, Newt Loken.
hLoken called Barasch "one of
the finest freshman tumblers I've
seen in years." Barasch has been
tumbling for only two years.
The Michigan squad swept'both
the free exercise and the high
bar which Marion and Feinberg
won, respectively.
Marion was followed by Jim
Hayslett and Dozauer in the free
exercise while Dozauer and Marion
finished second and third behind
Feinberg on the high bar.
Kimball Wins
On the trampoline, 'in which
the Wolverines have excelled all
season, Kimball was awarded 93
points to edge out teammate
Frank Newman who earned 92.5.
Barasch broke into the Michi-
gan monopoly in this event with
89.5 points for third place.
The winners' fourth first came
on parallel bars, as Dozauer and
Marion tied with 86 points to fin-
ish far ahead of all other compe-
titors in the event.
Paul Magierek of Navy Pier
outscored all competitors on still
rings with 93 points. This event
featured one of the best overall
performances this year, with all
five point winners earning 88
points or better.
Dozauer and Marion again tied,
this time for second, with 89.5
points. Hayslett scored 88.5 to fin-
ish fourth and Ernie Porps took
fifth with 88.
Most Points
Marion was top total point
scorer for the meet with 430
points while William Simms of
Navy Pier accounted for 404 to
place second in this respect.
An added feature of the even-
ing was the rope climb, which
started out to be just an exhibi-
tion by Michigan's Dana Larson,
but ended up as a competition be-'
tween three Wolverines and two
men from Navy Pier.
Larson won the event with a
time of 4.7 seconds. Marion fin-
ished second in 5.7 seconds; Porps
was third with 6.4; All Stall of
Michigan took fourth in 6.4 and
Charles Lahtinen of Navy Pier
finished fifth in 0:07.

RESCUES BACKSTROKERS:
Smith Sparkles in Com
CHICAGO (R) - Ron Delany
surged to a tremendous finish and
a new world indoor mile record of
4:03.4 in the Chicago Relays before
10,136 in the International Amphi-
theater last night.
Delany shaved two-tenths of a
second off the former world mark
of 4:03.6 set by Denmark's Gun-
nar Nielsen in New York in 1955.
Delany stayed back until the
final two laps and then roared in
front to win by 35 yards over Phil
Coleman of the University of Chi-
cago Track Club.
Tht Irish 1,500-meter Olympic
champion, representing Villanova,
had a scorching 58.4 final quarter
as he obviously pounded for a
new record before the screaming
crowd.
Delany ran last in the four-man
field the first six laps of the 11-
lap chase. He moved into the lead
on the ninth lap, then set his
own pace the rest of the way.
Another new world record was
announced as Hayes Jones of
Eastern Michigan was clocked in
:07.0 in the 60-yard high hurdles.
Milt Campbell, former Indiana
hurdling star, also had an unoffi-
'cial 7.0 clocking in the Millrose
games in New York, Feb. 9, 1957.
Delany's triumph in the Bank-
ers Mile, his semifinal effort of
the indoor season gave him his
23rd consecutive victory at the
distance on the boards. And it was
his 28th consecutive triumph in
indoor competition.
The Irishman's best previous
time for the indoor mile was 4:03.7

The Michigan
Daily
By TOM BITTKER'
John Smith has come back.
Smith, a sophomore backstrok-
er on Coach Gus Stager's Big Ten
championship swimming team,
turned in a sparkling perform-
ance at last weekend's Conference
meet.
Smith shocked many observers
by capturing second places in both
the 100-yd. and 200-yd. back-
stroke. In each event Iowa's NCAA
champion Lincoln Hurring beat
Smith by less than three seconds.
Previous to the Big Ten cham-
pionship meet, Smith had been
undefeated in dual-meet back-
stroke competition. Thus it was
a highly successful season for
Smith, who had rejoined the
squad in February after spending
a semester at the University of
Hawaii.
Before Smith returned to the
team, Michigan's backstroke out-
look had been dimmed by the loss
of Don Adamski. Smith filled this
gap quite capably, as his season's
performance indicates.
Of major concern to mith at
present is the NCAA champion;
ship swimming meet, which will
aback Effort
be held here March 27-28-29. He
will compete against the nation's
best backstrokers, including Hur-
ring and Yale's Jerry Dolbey.
Stager says, "We are tremen-
dously proud of John, not because
of his great ability, but because
of the improvement in his atti-
tude.
It is apparent that the soft-
spoken swimmer is still far from
measuring up to his potential
ability. He has yet failed to bet-
ter his time of :58.7 in the 100-yd.
backstroke which he set two years
ago to break the national high
school record in that event.
"Must Work Hard"
"In order towreach this poten-
tial, Smith will have to work very
hard for improvement," observes
Stager.
Smith is a dedicated backstrok-
er who continually seeks to excel
against other swimmers and ex-
ceed his past accomplishments.
He concedes, however, that he
must learn to develop "mental en-
durance" - the ability "to work
hard when I'm tired."
SWANSON TROPHY
.. Superior Marksmanship
'Michigan's rifle team has won
the Dr. Emmett Swanson trophy
for the fourth year in a row by
finishing on top of the standings
in the regular season.
Michigan finished on top with
a total of 8,407 of 9,000 for three
meets. Illinois was second with
8,327, while Ohio State finished
third with a total of 8,239.
- Tom Athanas, Michigan cap-
tain, leads the individual race at
present with a total of 1,725. His
closest pursuer is Clarence Jones
of Illinois with 1,705. Other Wol-
verines in the standings are Wil-
liam Woodruff, third, David Lan-
ham, seventh, Keith Johnson,
tenth, and Peter Eckrich, six-
teenth.

PLAYERS MUST 'LOVE THE GAME':
Perigo's Coaching Philosophy Attacked for Leniency
(This is the third in a series of
articles discussing the Michigan bas-
ketball team. This article will deal
{ with the coaching situation.).
By AL JONES
"Bill Perigo is a great guy."
This statement sums up the
feeling of almost all ljeople who
are associated with the Michigan
athletic staff, or who have had
contact with the genial 'M' bas-
ketball mentor..
Actually, Perigo's c o a c h i n g
philosophy is built around this
general idea: "I expect the boys
to play for the love of the game,"
he states, "and I don't feel that
it is necessary to use a great
amount of authority.
"College players should be be-
yond the age when they have to
be told everything," he continued.
"I feel that my position is to
TEACH them basketball, not
FORCE it."
Many individuals near the scene
this winter have felt that with
the material present, this year's
team could have been better. They
feel that the group lacked the
spirit that is necessary for a win-
ning team.
This group has also asserted
that Perigo lacks the basic bas-
ketball knowledge to be a good
college coach. This argument,
however, has never been backed
by solid evidence. In fact, much
that has been seen this season
points to just the opposite.
New Plays
Throughout the winter Perigo
has introduced new and effective
plays in practice sessions. The
problem has been to transmit
these plays onto the court during
games. Nearly every week the
plays have worked in practice,
but the players have failed to try
them in games.
ADVANCE IN TOURNEY:
Irish Topple Hoosiers
In NCAA Tilt, 94-87
Perigo's coaching knowledge
was proved decisively in the sea-
son-ending Iowa game, when the
players exploded with smooth-
working plays to build up a terri-
fic lead.
The deeper implications of the.
Michigan cage coach's 'friendly'
approach were pointed out by a
source high in the administration.
"Very Sinhere"
"I have known Perigo closely
since he has been here at Michi-
gan," the source stated, "and I
can say with no reservations thatj
he is very sincere in all that he
does. He has done more to help
his players than many people
realize.
"For instance, Perigo aided a'
certain player a few years ago in
obtaining a job and gave him the
necessary impetus to remain in
school and finish his education.
That boy, who would normally
have dropped out of school, has
since gone on to graduate work."
The principle criticism ex-
pressed of the Michigan basiet-
ball situation by those close to it
is a lack of organization. Certain
players have stated that they feel
more could be accomplished in
practice if more authority were
exercised.
"Love of the Game"
In answer to former players
that have approached Perigo with
this suggestion, the 'M' coach has
said, "If you boys are interested
in playing ball, the love of the
game should provide you with all
the incentive necessary."
Examples of disorganization
that have been pointed to were
the away trips to Northwestern
and Minnesota this year. On both
of these occasions connections
were not carefully planned, and
the uncertainty of the situation
added to the usual away-from-
home anxiety for the players.
One of the players stated that
Perigo's approach to line-up
changes is disconcerting, since he
leaves the whole problem up in
the air until the last minute. Of
course, this may be necessary in
some cases, since the coach may
want to wait to map his strategy.
However, it does leave the play-
ers in an uncertain frame of mind.
Another player summed the sit-
uation up by saying that "Perigo's
friendly and -trusting approach
may be well suited to high school
or small college coaching, but it
doesn't provide the authority we
needed."
This points out an important
angle that some interested people
have felt is at the bottom of the
problem. Perigo leaves much of
the responsibility up to the play-
ers, which he feels they should be
able to handle as mature indi-
viduals.
Players Fail
As true as this may be, they
have failed to handle certain as-
pects of it. Many instances have
been brought into the open in-
volving players who have broken
training rules - rules which Peri-
go considers a gentlemen's agree-
ment between himself and the
players, and which needn't be en-
forced with authority.
If a coaching philosophy such
as Perigo's is to work, the players
must accept their part of the bur-
den. If authority isn't used, then
the players must supply the in-
centive to win - "the love of the
game" as Perigo states it.
One of the players states that
"the team as a group has failed
to meet Perigo half-way. If we
haven't met our capabilities this
season it is as much our fault as
his."
(The next and final article in the
series will deal with the fans and the
athletic administration with respect
to Michigan basketball.)
